The doctrine expressed is, that the unfeigned love of Jesus Christ is in every one that is borne of God; and where it is, it is an infallible sign. He that loves Christ, it is certain, that both God the Father, and Christ love him, Joh. 14. 21. Eph. 6.23. and contrariwise, 1 Cor. 16.22.
The doctrine exprest is, that the unfained love of Jesus Christ is in every one that is borne of God; and where it is, it is an infallible signe. He that loves Christ, it is certaine, that both God the Father, and Christ love him, Ioh. 14. 21. Eph. 6.23. and contrariwise, 1 Cor. 16.22.

1. First, it should teach us to try our selves whether the love of Christ be in us or no: now that this may be distinctly discerned,1 we must understand, that the love of Christ may be two ways considered, either as it is in the sparkle, or as it is in the flame. In some the true love of Christ is, as it is but in a small measure. Now others have the inflamed love of Christ.
