IX. Charity also doth spring of faith.

IX. Charitie also doth spring of faith.

:452p. 140

We believe also, that of true faith springeth true charity, by which it worketh, and by which it showeth how forcible it is: as the Apostle saith, ¹that the faith availeth much in Christ which worketh by love: and John affirmeth, that he which loveth not, ²hath not known God. Therefore we acknowledge not them for brethren, which boast of faith: when they have not charity.

We beleeue also, that of true faith springeth true charity, by which it worketh, and by which it sheweth how forcible it is: as the Apostle saith, ¹that the faith auaileth much in Christ which worketh by loue: and Iohn affirmeth, that he which loueth not, ²hath not knowne God. Therefore we acknowledge not them for brethren, which boast of faith: when they haue not charitie.
