CHarite is the loue of thy neyghboure. The rule of charite is this. do, as thou woldest be done to. For charitie holdeth al a lyfe, ye ryche, and the poore, the frende and the foe, the thankefull & vnthanke∣full, the kynseman and straun∣ger.
¶ A comparison bitwene fayth, hope and charite.
Fayth cometh of the worde of God, hope cometh of faith, & cha∣rite spryngeth of them bothe.
Faythe beleueth the worde.
Hope trusteth after that is pro∣mysed by the word. Charite doth good vnto her neyghbour thorow the loue, that it hath to god.
Faith loketh to god & his word, Hope loketh vnto his gyfte & re∣ward. Charite loketh on her neigh¦boures profyte. Faith receaueth god. Hope receiueth his reward. Charite loueth her neyghbour wt a glad harte, & that wtout any re∣specte of rewarde. Fayth pertay∣neth to god onely, hope to his re∣ward & charite to her neyghbour.
