bible_n become_v now_o the_o adequate_a object_n of_o faith_n since_o no_o divine_a revelation_n we_o know_v in_o these_o day_n any_o where_n save_v in_o scripture_n and_o yet_o all_o thing_n in_o

apostle_n at_o the_o seven_o verse_n of_o this_o chapter_n charity_n believe_v all_o thing_n hope_v all_o thing_n endure_v all_o thing_n be_v ready_a to_o conclude_v that_o these_o three_o virtue_n grow_v at_o last_o into_o one_o and_o all_o shut_v up_o in_o charity_n for_o as_o much_o as_o believe_v be_v the_o act_n of_o faith_n and_o yet_o the_o apostle_n say_v charity_n believe_v all_o

to_o lose_v his_o favour_n and_o if_o it_o be_v only_o a_o servile_a fear_n than_o it_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o our_o faith_n we_o fear_v the_o power_n and_o vengeance_n of_o god_n because_o we_o believe_v he_o to_o be_v almighty_a what_o else_o be_v zeal_n and_o piety_n but_o fruit_n of_o our_o charity_n likewise_o we_o obey_v god_n we_o be_v zealous_a for_o he_o why_o but_o because_o we_o
