1Yes, in case of necessity: then we are to look to mans nature,2 because he is a partaker of our nature, and he is such an one as may be a member of Christ, and one for whom Christ died, for ought we know, he now bears the image of Christ, and he may come to the obedience of Christ, and our kindness may be effectual to bring him to goodness: Therefore as we, if we be in need, do not stand upon it, but receive kindness from wicked men; so when wicked men are in need, we must not stand upon it, but give to wicked men: we must do as we would be done by, in such cases, in necessity.
