PHILEMON. There are divers answers made unto it, as we we read, but I think it is done to put us in remembrance, how Christ washed his disciples feet at his maundy, y• we in like manner should be ready at all times to do good unto our christen brothers, yea even to wash their feet, which seemeth to be the most humble & lowly act, that we can do unto them. If I, saith Christ 1being your LORD & master have washed your feet, verily you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, ye as I have done to you, so likewise ye should do. Let that mind be in 2you, saith S. Paul, that was in Christ Jesus.
