On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Thus God hath said, As many as I love I rebuke and chasten, Rev. iii. This is a great comfort to God's children, under their afflictions, [1.] That they not only consist with, but flow from, covenant-love. [2.] That they are so far from doing them any real hurt that, by the grace of God working with them, they do a great deal of good, and are happy means of their satisfaction.
