John 13.35. [By this shall all men know that ye are my Disciples, if ye love one another.] Here Christ giveth a certain badge by which his true Disciples may be known. If only those that love one another, are true Disciples in heart; then only those that Profess to love one another, are Disciples by Profession: But, &c. And that this Love is a special Grace, and Inseparable concomitant of saving faith, is manifest in that [By this we know that we are translated from death to life, because we love the Brethren, 1 Joh. 3.14. Joh. 8.31. If ye continue in my word, then are ye (that is, you will approve your selves) my Disciples indeed] If only those are Christs Disciples indeed, as to the heart, that have the Resolution of perseverance (and those only his Practical conquering Disciples who actually persevere) then only those are his Professed Disciples that Profess a Resolution to persevere. But; &c. Ergo, &c.
