Hatred stirreth up contentions: but love covereth all Verse. 12 trespasses.
Hatred stirreth vp contentions: but loue couereth all Verse. 12 trespasses.
Hatred, and all uncharitable affections, as envy and wrath, Stirreth up strife, worketh all kind of revenge and mischief, as backbiting, upbraiding with former faults, and very often procureth iniust criminations. But love covereth all trespasses, by forgiving them and reproving them in friendly manner, and by concealing them from all those, to whom the knowledge of them hath not come, or doth not appertain. ⟨p. 80⟩The opposition is thus framed: Hatred stirreth up contentions, and blazeth abroad mens infirmities, but love seeketh peace and covereth all trespasses.
