There will be a willingness to stoop to the meanest offices, for the service of Christ; love (we use to say) stands not with Majesty; it did not do so in the person of our Saviour, when he washed and wiped his disciples feet;1 and those that love him will not think it much to conform to his example; they will not think they can ever stoop too low for the sake of him. John 21.15.
