First, A readiness to depart from ones right: As Abraham 1kwas content to do to LOT. If thou take the left hand, then will I go to the right; and if thou go to the right hand, then will I go to the left. Mat. 17. 25, 26. Christ the Son of God giveth a notable president of this, who, though he were the Son, and therefore free, yet paid tribute, to avoid offence. The lApostle to the Corinths sharply taketh them up for lack of this virtue: Why do you not rather take wrong? Why do you not rather suffer loss? The contrary is, that which he there maddeth, Nay, ye your selves do wrong and do harm, &c.
