2 COR. 1. 4. By the comfort wherewith we our selves are comforted of God.
WE shall at this time finish the Text. For whereas two things remain in the Division, The Manner, how the Apostles do comfort others, and that is, By the comfort wherewith they themselves are comforted. And the Fontal Cause of all, who is said to be God. Of this later, we have said enough already. We shall therefore at this time dispatch the former. That comfort by which the Apostles themselves were refreshed, by that did they revive others, even those that were far inferior to them both in gifts and graces. So that as by the same Sun both the rich and the poor do see; one finds the sweetness of the light as well as the other. Thus also by the same grounds of comfort, that any godly man may be supported, all may be. Observe,

Thus also by the same grounds of comfort, that any godly man may be supported, all may be. Observe,
That those grounds of comfort which revive the heart of one godly man may 1also do another.
