and I beshrew him sauinge my charyte / there we take it for
pacyence. And when I saye a charitable man / it is taken for
mercifull. And though mercifulnesse be a good loue or rather
springe of a good loue / yet ys not euery good
loue mercifulnesse. As when a woman loueth her
husbonde godly or a man his wife or his frend that is in none
aduersitie / it is not allwaye mercifulnesse. Also we saie not
this man hath a greate charite
to god / but a greate loue. Wherefore I must haue
vsed this generall terme loue / in spite of mine herte often
tymes. And agape and charitas were wordes vsed amonge the
hethen yer chryste came / and signified therfore more then a
godly loue. And we maye saye well ynough and haue hearde it
spoken that the turkes be charitable one to a nother amonge
them selues and some of them vnto the
chrysten to. Besydes all thys agape ys comen vnto all
loues.165

And when Master More saith euery loue ys not charyte / no more
is every appostle chrystes appostell ner every angell gods
angell / ner euery hope chrysten hope nor euery faith or
beleffe chrystes beleffe / and so by an hundred thousande
wordes. So that yf I shulde all waye vse but a worde that were
no moore generall then the worde I enterprete / I shulde
interprete no thynge at all. But the mater yt
selfe and the circumstaunces doo declare what loue /
what hope and what fayth ys spoken of. And finally I saye not
charite god or charite youre neyboure but loue God and loue
youre neyboure ye and though we saye a man ought to loue hys
neyboures wife and his doughter / a christen man doeth not
vnderstonde / that he ys commaunded to defyle hys neyboures
wife or hys doughter.
