Revelation3:19

19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten : be zealous therefore and repent .

[non-Latin text not transcribed], the words may be translated, I convince and instruct, or deal with them as Children; but it also signifies to chasten, and is so translated, 1 Cor. 11.32. Heb. 12.7. we translate it learn, 1 Tim. 1.20. By these words Christ lets this Angel know, that altho he had in this Epistle dealt smartly with him, yet he had done it from a Principle of Love, as a Father to a Child, Heb. 12.7.

He adviseth him therefore to quit himself of his Luke-warmness, and to recover a Warmth, and Zeal for God, repenting of his former Coldness, and Negligence in his Duty.

Marginal references: Prov. 3.11, 12. James 1.12.
