Consorts, such as partake a mutual lot, as fellow-merchants in their adventures. We have thus a fellowship with God. If we rejoice, he joys in us, with us, makes us indeed rejoice in him. For Christ rejoiceth in the Christian, whensoever the Christian rejoiceth in Christ. That repenting son was not more glad that he had found his father, than the father was glad he had found his son, Luke 15. If we suffer, he suffers with us. Saul, thou persecutest me, saith Christ. Patitur in nobis, qui passus est pro nobis: Hee that did once suffer for us, doth still suffer in us. The Usurer oppressing thee, takes away the goods of Christ; and shall be called to a strict account. There is Consortium, the word by most translations here used.

Contubernales, Chamber-fellows, such as lodge together,g Come my beloved, let us lodge in the Villages. Where the chamber is a sanctified heart, the bed a pure faith, the pillow is the peace of conscience, the curtains like Solomons, Azure, Purple, and Scarlet. Azure or sky-colour, noting our heavenly conversation; Purple, our zeal to Gods glory: Scarlet, our charity; so Love is praised to have a thread of Scarlet in her lips. Thus now God is thy chamber-fellow, and inhabits thy holy conscience: and hereafter thou shalt dwell together with him in everlasting rest.
