THis is my commandement, that ye loue together as I haue loucd you. Greater loue hath no man then this, that a man bestow his life for his friendes. Yee are my friends, if yee doe whatsoeuer I commaund you. Henceforth call I not you seruants: for the ser∣uant knoweth not what his lorde doeth: but you haue I called friends, for al things that I haue heard of my Father, I haue opened vnto you. yee haue not chosen me, But I haue chosen you, and ordeined you to goe
and bring forth fruite, and that your fruite should remaine, that whatsoeuer ye aske of the father in my Name, he may giue it you.
Ioh. 15.12.
