1 John4:18
Verſe 18. There is no fear in love] But complacence and acquieſcence in the perſon beloved.
Becauſe fear hath torment] Quom metuunt, oderunt. Whomſoever men fear, they hate, ſaith the Proverb. And odium timorem spirat, ſaith Tertullian. Hatred hath fear, which ſets the ſoul on a rack, as it were, and renders it reſt leſſe.
