Thirdly,1 Christians that would have Christ Jesus present, at their Feasts and Marriage-Solemnities, may learn hence, what persons they are to invite to keep Christ company. For in the Text it is specified of this Wedding, that the Mother of Christ was there, and the Disciples of Christ; all godly persons, all special friends unto Christ. We say in the Proverb, Its merry when friends meet; ⟨p. 11⟩And we know by experience, that if men invite their special friend, they will have a care what company they entertain him withal. If it may be, they will take order that some that they know he loveth shall be invited to keep him company, at least such as they think he doth not hate. Neither can a man do his friend a greater wrong, then to invite him to feasting and merriment, when together with him, he inviteth such as will by all possible means disgrace & despite him.
