As it is in the body of a man, when the members of the body are out of joint, they can neither receive strength from the body, nor be useful to the body. And therefore the Apostle would have us be careful, ⟨p. 290⟩if any were out of joint, to set him in joint again, that is the propriety of the word. Gal. 6. 1. If a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore 1such a one; set such a one in joint, that he may thrive, as members in joint thrive. Christ is called the corner stone; now a corner stone is that which joins both sides together; now Christ loves to be in the place of joining, where there is a joining in mutual fellowship: Although there be variety in gifts, 2although the garment of the Kings daughter, the Church, be of divers colours, yet why may it not be like Christs garment without seam?
