1 Corinthians13:7

Verſe 7. Beareth all things] Covereth faults with her large mantle, [non-Latin text not transcribed]. diſſembleth injuries, ſwalloweth down whole many pils, that would prove very bitter in the chewing.

Beleeveth all things] Is candid and ingenuous, yet not blinde and blockiſh. No man may raviſh me out of my wits, ſaith one; to conclude as Walter Mapes did of his Church of Rome, after he had related the groſſe ſimony of the Pope; Sit tamen Domina mater que noſtra Roma baculus in aqua fractus, & abſit credere quae vidimus. If a Papiſt ſee one of their Prieſts kiſſing a woman, he is by their Canon-law bid to believe, that the Prieſt is giving her counſel only. Their rule to their novices is, Tu & Aſinus unum eſtote.

Endureth all things] Love, as it is a paſſion, ſo it is tried rather by paſſions then actions.
