She loves enough that does not hate. huh?
Hello,
I'm reading the book "Moll Flanders". At some point it says: " so he writes again - 'Let love alone be our debate.' I wrote again - 'She loves enough that does not hate.'". I don't understand that last part. The I in "I wrote again", is Moll herself. She refers to herself as I earlier (not in post) but now it's "She". There's no mention of any hatred or disrespect earlier, but she is careful getting involved with "he". How should I read hate?
thanks,

It is enough for a woman not to hate. That is close enough to love. (in her opinion)
