  2. "Charity", or love...l the love of our neighbour as Christ hath love us, "suffereth long": is patient towards all men: it suffers all the weakness, ignorance, errors, infirmities, all the frowardness and littleness of faith, of the children of God; all the malice and wickedness of the children of the world. And it suffers all this, not only for a time, for a short season, but to the end; still feeding our enemy when he hungers; if he thirst, still giving him drink; thus continually 'heaping coals of fire', of melting love, 'upon his head'.

 15. Because God is righteous there is no true worhship of him that is not immediately reflected in the love and service of our neighbour in society.
