say_v charity_n believe_v all_o thing_n the_o meaning_n be_v charity_n interpret_v every_o thing_n in_o the_o best_a sense_n which_o it_o will_v bear_v and_o make_v the_o fair_a construction_n which_o every_o man_n case_n and_o condition_n will_v admit_v and_o again_o at_o the_o 5_o verse_n charity_n think_v no_o evil_a that_o be_v it_o think_v no_o evil_a of_o other_o as_o a_o godly_a man_n will_v not_o maintain_v evil_a thought_n or_o suffer_v they_o to_o lodge_v within_o he_o in_o reference_n to_o any_o sin_n which_o himself_o be_v tempt_v to_o commit_v so_o a_o charitable_a man_n will_v not_o maintain_v or_o jodge_v evil_a thought_n of_o other_o in_o reference_n to_o any_o sin_n which_o he_o can_v only_o suppose_v that_o they_o have_v commit_v again_o as_o charity_n think_v no_o
