3. Our Patience and Innocency make us not complete lambs, without our Profitableness. Malum ferimus, malum non offerimus, bonum proferimus. We offer no evil, we suffer evil, we return good. It is not enough to suffer wrongs, but we must do none. It is not enough to do no wrong, but we must do good for wrong. Bonum pro malo reddere Christianum est. Every thing in a lamb is good and useful. 1His fell good, his fleece good, his flesh good: immo et viscera et exorementa commoda sunt. The lambes of God, the Ministers of the Gospel, must universally abound with benefits.

1. To some this lamb gives his fleece: he clothes the naked; and keeps the sick and poor warm in his wool. He sees not a lamb of Christ stripped by poverty; but he lends him one lock, to hide his nakedness. Sic vos, non vobis, vellera fertis oves.
