If David did thus desire the company of Gods children, what ought we to do? But men know not their wants, they know not the communion of Saints, therefore they are careless of this. Yet Paul desired to come to the Romans, that he might receive mutual comfort: for every member of Christ hath somewhat wherewith he may do thee good: because he is anointed with the same oil that thou art; therefore by him thou shalt remember something forgotten: or have thy judgement reformed in some particular thing. But we know not the profit of this, because we have no use of it.
