10 Moses taketh Aaron and Hur with him, knowing his own infirmities, though otherwise we see he was a man of rare graces and great strength. So it is often said of the Prophets, that they had ever some with them, and the Apostles are sent by two and two to preach, that one might help another Christs also sometimes takes Peter and John, not that he had need so to do, but because he would leave us an example, which we must follow, being ready to use all helps for our infirmities which the Lord shall offer unto us.
