173. VIII
SIGNS OF CHARITY ARE ALL THE THINGS THAT ARE OF WORSHIP.
All the things that are of charity have reference to looking to the Lord and shunning evils as sins, and doing the goods of use that are of anyone's office. All the things of worship however are external things, and are external things either of the body or of the mind. The external things of the body are done by actions and words; and the external things of the mind are those done in will and thought that cohere with the external things of the body.
