1 Cor. [Corinthians] 13:4-8

"Charity suff^th [suffereth] long, is kind; c. [charity] envieth not; c [charity]
vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own,
is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
Rejoic^th [Rejoiceth] not in iniqui [iniquity], but rejoic^th [rejoiceth] in t. [the] truth;
Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all
things, endureth all things."

Last Sab. [Sabbath] or first 4 verses –

unequiv. [unequivocally] that none can doubt the
conclusion of the Apos. [Apostles] – that without
it all other things are vain to securing
Salvation & saving the soul.

Shrewd how many excel. [excellent] qual^s [qualities] one
mit. [might] have & not be a Xⁿ [Christian] – mit. [might] be an
Angel – all but – yet be no Angel – nor Xⁿ [Christian].
