KXCELl. KXfK OF lOVK, OK CriAIJITV 3, S. > And let us huiiiLly ncknowlctlge our own weakness, and love their merit, and tJuis it becomes our own. "For, " as St. Gregory saitli, ••I(. Ve is of so great power that it niaketh the merit of otliers our o\Mi without labour. " I think we are now come to the seventh part, whicli is all of love, which makcth a ]mYo heart. Here beoinneth TAUT VII. — Or LovK.
St. Paul witucsseth that all outward hardships, and all pains of tlie flesh,
...and all bodily labours, are as nothing when compared with love, which pui-ifioth and brightcneth the heart, "Exercitatio corporis ad modicum valet; pietas autem valet ad omnia ; " " that is, " Uodily diligence is of little profit; but a sweet and clean lieart is profitable to all things. " " Si tradidero corpus meum ita ut ardeam ; si Unguis hominnm loquar et angelorum ; et si distribuoro omncs facultates rncas in cibos pauperum, caritatem autem non habeam, niliil mihi prodest. " ** " Tliough I know, ^' saith he, " all the tongues of men and angels; ami though I inflicted upon my body all the pains, and all the sufferings that a body could endure; and though I gave poor men all that I had; unless I had therewith love to God and to all men, in him and for him, it were all lost.
