1We have but two passages of his carriage that way, which come to my mind; First, those that he met withal at Padan Aram when he came thither; They were Shepherds, men of his own profession, and he courteously saluteth them, and carrieth himself with a kind of familiarness towards them, for he calleth them brethren, demands where they dwell, enquires of them about his Uncles welfare, and gives them husbandly counsel about their cattle: and so should every man stand disposed to men, as they be men, though dwelling many miles distant from him, he should show himself amiable, meek, loving, ready to salute them with good words, and titles, and to speak lovingly to them, to give them good advice, and to do any other good office, as occasion may offer it self. We are commanded to Show all meekness to all men, and to Keep peace with all men, and besides brotherly love, To be charitable to all, and to account a stranger a neighbour, in loving him as our selves. For God hath made all mankind of one blood, and knit them together in divers common bands. All be of one kind, all of one Parent, matter, form, all redeemed with one blood, wherefore all must be loved, and kindly dealt with.
