Wherefore for application, let us know our duty, 1and show our selves more ready and forward to join with, and show our selves to the servants of God in their persecuted estate; in the times of their prosperity there is not so much need we should manifest our selves to be for them; this is the time wherein we are called, especially to manifest our love to them, our siding with them; The greater their affliction is, the more we must appear for them: When the people of God were in a comfortable estate in Egypt, as they were in Josephs time, Joseph did not leave the Court to join with them, but when they were in an afflicted estate, as in Moses his time, Moses left all to join with them; here you have a trial upon what side you ⟨p. 236⟩will be, now you have an opportunity to witness for God.
