It is not, because there is no matter of hatred in the Church, 1that Christ hateth it not: for by nature all are of one and the same cursed stock, echildren of wrath: and after our sanctification is begun, the flesh abiding in us, we daily give much ⟨p. 91⟩occasion of hatred if Christ should take that advantage against us which he might: but it is that near union which Christ hath made betwixt himself and the Church that keepeth him from hating her: he hath made her his Spouse, and he will not hate his Spouse: all the occasion of hatred that she giveth, he will either wipe away or cover.
