*Let me love thee more than myself, and not myself but for thee, and all in thee that truly love thee, as the law of love commandeth, which shineth out from thee.
*5. Christ. Love is swift, sincere, pious, pleasant, and delightful: strong, patient, faithful, prudent, long-suffering, manly; and never seeking itself.
For where one seeketh himself, there he falleth from love.
*Love is circumspect, humble, and upright: not soft, nor light, nor attending unto vain things; but sober, chaste, constant, quiet, and guarded in all the senses.
Love is subject and obedient to superiors, vile, and despicable to itself, devout and thankful unto God, trusting and hoping always in him.
*8. He that is not ready to suffer all things, and to stand to the will of his beloved, is not worthy to be called a lover.
A lover ought to embrace willingly all that is hard and distasteful for his beloved.
