1a If the Angels had tongues, & I had the vse thereof, & did not bestowe them to profite my neighbour, it were nothing but vaine babling.
2b Faith is here taken for the gift of doing miracles, which the wicked may haue, as {Mat. 7:22} & also for that faith (called historical) which beleueth the mightie power of Christ, but can not apprehend Gods mercie throught him: & this deuils haue, {Jam. 2, 19}: & therefore is separate from charitie, but the faith that justifieth in effect cannot as {1 John 2,9}
7c Not that it suffreth it self to be abused, but judgeth other by all loue & humanitie.
7d Which may be without offence of Gods worde.
9f That is, imperfectly.
9e Knowledge it self shalbe perfited in the worlde to come, & not abolished: but the maner of knowing & teaching shal cease, when we shalbe before Gods presence, where we shal nether nede scholes nor teachers.
12/ Or, taught of God.
13h Because it serueth bothe here & in the life to come: but faith and hope apperteine onely to this life.
13! Because loue is the fountaine and rule of edifying the Church, he setteth forthe the nature, office and praise thereof.
