The self same thing is repeated Rom. 15. The rebuke of them that rebuked th•e, &c. where the Apostle inferreth this exhortation, Let the same mind▪ be in you which •as i• C•r•• ▪ &c. as if he should •••; you must know, that the selfsame affection, though not in the selfsame measure▪ •r•u•• •e in you, which was in Christ or in Da•i•: for as Christ had •••• ••fi••te measure, and David in great abundance, that must you also have in •o•e measure. This •as ••d•e• •ered••arie to Jesus Christ, and to David beneficiary, and that which David speaketh of actively, as well done of himself or of Christ, that the Apostle speaketh of passively▪ as •e requireth •t to be done of others. For as David did suffer t•• ••iies, reproaches, and goines which came to Gods name, as his own: so Paul speaketh passively, wisheth that we should suffer these things with Christ, even as though we our selves had done the injuries ecive the reproaches, or were guilty of the ignoies. But we must always show our selves gute in using all means to set forth Gods glory, and in be[…] of the people with tares and with prayer.
