Chapter 3.—God is to Be
Worshipped Through Faith, Hope, and Love.
Now if I should answer, that God is
to be worshipped with faith, hope, and love, you will at once say
that this answer is too brief, and will ask me briefly to unfold
the objects of each of these three graces,
viz.
, what we are
to believe, what we are to hope for, and what we are to love. And
when I have done this, you will have an answer to all the questions
you asked in your letter. If you have kept a copy of your letter,
you can easily turn it up and read it over again: if you have not,
you will have no difficulty in recalling it when I refresh your
memory.
