for_o charity_n second_o the_o love_n whereby_o we_o love_v christ_n and_o his_o member_n now_o shall_v be_v continue_v and_o perfect_v in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v but_o whereas_o now_o we_o do_v by_o faith_n believe_v and_o by_o hope_n expect_v and_o desire_v to_o see_v the_o face_n of_o christ_n hereafter_o then_o when_o we_o do_v see_v and_o enjoy_v he_o this_o faith_n and_o this_o hope_n be_v at_o a_o end_n and_o whereas_o here_o in_o this_o life_n we_o walk_v by_o faith_n and_o not_o by_o sight_n and_o feeling_n in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v we_o shall_v see_v face_n to_o face_n
