A strong Christian is able to wait long on God; he that waiteth long with quietness, honours God: but as your weaker Children, cannot stay long for what they would have but must be served presently; so the weak Christian also, cannot wait long on God for what he would have; but the strong Christian doth.

A Strong Christian is helpful unto others. We that are strong, ought to bear the infirmities of the weak. Rom. 15.1. And again; Him that is weak in the faith receive you. Chap. 14.1. Children and babes are fit to be carried in others arms, but are not able to carry others. The weak Christian is apt to be offended with others; to censure and judg others, and so to make burdens for others to bear. Rom. 14.1.2. but the strong Christian, is a bearing Christian, a carrying Christian, one that can displease himself, that he may help another. Now the more serviceable and helpful a man is to others, the more he Glorifies God; Thus the strong Christian is, but the weak cannot in all these things give Glory to God as the strong Christian may; Surely therefore, there are many disadvantages which a weak Christian lies under, that the strong Christian doth not.
