16 But this conjunction cannot be perfect, while we live here. For all of us know but in part; and often not in the same part; now in respect of mutual living together; there is none; but in some things, he showeth himself to be a man: But as the imperfection of faith, doth not hinder the effect thereof, the same is to be said of our mutual agreement, both in Religion, and also in affections: so that we be displeased with our selves for those our imperfections, and be more and more desirous of a growth in our obedience.
