7. Christ knows the Love of his People, whether they love him in Sincerity; both the Truth of their Love, and the Degree of their Love: Jesus saith unto Simon Peter, Simon, Son of Jonah, lovest ¹thou me more than these?

And as he knows whether they love him above all or not, so he knows whether they love one another or no; whether ⟨p. 101⟩it be with a pure Heart, fervently, and in sincerity, Christ knows it: whether it be a Love in Words, or with the Tongue only, or in Deed and in Truth.
