He loveth them. oChrist loved his Church; saith the Apostle S. Paul. And pto him that loved us; saith S. John: and they love him. qMy Father, saith he, loveth you, because you love me: and, rwe love him, saith S. John, because he hath loved us. And again, sI love them, saith he, that love me: and, ⟨p. 4⟩tif any man love me, the Father will love him, and I will love him too. So that uthere is no love lost between Christ and his. xHe loveth them first: and they love him, because he loveth them: and again, he loveth them the rather, because they love him. Sweetly therefore Bernard; yLet no man, whose heart can truly testify for him, that he loveth Christ, make any doubt but that Christ loveth him. For how can he choose but love thee, when thou lovest him, zwho loved thee then, when thou lovedst not him?
