§. 52. Of bearing one anothers burden.
IIII. *WE must bear one another's burden. aThe Apostle giveth this in express charge to Christians: and presseth it by that bsympathy which becometh them, manifested by weeping with them that weep: and cby remembering them that are in bands as bound with them, &c And to show that he pressed on others no more then he practised himself, thus he professeth, dI have made my self servant to all. Unto the Jew I became as a Jew: to them that are under the Law, as under the law: to them that are without law, as without law: To the weak became I as weak: I am made all things to all men that I might by all means save some. And again, eThere cometh upon me daily the care of all the Churches. Who is weak and I am not weak? who is offended and I burn not? Though this were a worthy pattern surpassing all other mere men that ever I heard of, yet is it far surpassed by him of whom it is said, fSurely he hath born our griefs, and carried our sorrows, &c.
IIII. *VVE must beare one anothers burden.
