What
manner
of
reader
Scripture
demands
And
,
therefore
,
if
a
man
fully
understands
that
"
the
end
of
the
commandment
is
charity
,
out
of
a
pure
heart
,
and
of
a
good
conscience
,
and
of
faith
unfeigned
,"
and
is
bent
upon
making
all
his
understanding
of
Scripture
to
bear
upon
these
three
graces
,
he
may
come
to
the
interpretation
of
these
books
with
an
easy
mind
.
For
while
the
apostle
says
"
love
,"
he
adds
"
out
of
a
pure
heart
,"
to
provide
against
anything
being
loved
but
that
which
is
worthy
of
love
.
And
he
joins
with
this
"
a
good
conscience
,"
in
reference
to
hope
;
for
,
if
a
man
has
the
burthen
of
a
bad
conscience
,
he
despairs
of
ever
reaching
that
which
he
believes
in
and
loves
.
And
in
the
third
place
he
says
: "
and
of
faith
unfeigned
."
For
if
our
faith
is
free
from
all
hypocrisy
,
then
we
both
abstain
from
loving
what
is
unworthy
of
our
love
,
and
by
living
uprightly
we
are
able
to
indulge
the
hope
that
our
hope
shall
not
be
in
vain
.
For
these
reasons
I
have
been
anxious
to
speak
about
the
objects
of
faith
,
as
far
as
I
thought
it
necessary
for
my
present
purpose
;
for
much
has
already
been
said
on
this
subject
in
other
volumes
,
either
by
others
or
by
myself
.
And
so
let
this
be
the
end
of
the
present
book
.
In
the
next
I
shall
discuss
,
as
far
as
God
shall
give
me
light
,
the
subject
of
signs
.
