For loue isal-wAy a brealt-plate againH impatience, and dUlem'!' per. . A third profit that fprings from loue,isJthat it edifies ,and feekes not his owne things, : therefore ifthey loue one another, they will in all things feeke the good ofone another. .

But on the .contrarie, where there is not loue, they will regard their owne cafe, more then the faluation oneofanother.
