CHAPTER XIII.

10. Q. _What is the meaning of this verse?_

_A._ It seems to be this. He that is once really converted, needs not that justification and sanctification, which other sinners want; but yet should mourn over his daily sins, and daily seek to have them washed away by the blood of CHRIST.

14. Q. _Ought we to make a rite of, and really wash one another’s feet?_

_A._ Some have thought so; but if we do what is meant by this condescension of our blessed LORD, submit to the lowest offices for the benefit of one another, it seems to be sufficient.

26. Q. _What learn you from CHRIST’s giving |Judas| a sop?_

_A._ That those are not always the greatest favourites of heaven, to whom GOD gives outward blessings. And also, that after our Saviour’s sop, if we are not better we shall be the worse; if we do not improve our advantages and serve our Master, we shall betray him.

27. Q. _Did CHRIST’s saying unto |Judas|, “What thou doest do quickly,” lay him under an obligation to do it?_

_A._ By no means; the meaning of it is this, If thou art resolved to betray me, the sooner the better.

34. Q. _Why is the loving one another, a new commandment?_

_A._ Because it is to proceed from a new motive, and measure; even CHRIST’s love towards us.

38. Q. _What learn you hence?_

_A._ That when we make any resolutions, they ought to be made in the name and strength of GOD; otherwise he must in pity let us fall, to convince us of our weakness.
