A second Discovery, wherein they show so great a valuation and estimation of the Saints and people of God, is this, They sympathize with them, and have a fell wfeeling with them in their sufferings: If it goes ill with the Church and People of God, all the comforts they have are as nothing to them, if one Member suffers all the rest suffers; and if i• goes well with the Church of God, it goes well with them. You have an excellent example of this in Nehemiah, in the first and second Chapters of his Book, that when that holy man had the greatest favour of one of the greatest Princes then upon earth, yet he looks with a s•d countenance, because of the afflictions of the people of God. I might give you many Instances of this; that is a famous one in Psalm 137 verse 5. If I forget thee, oh Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning: A common resemblance of this is very good: As it is with two strings in an Instrument that are tuned together if one be struck at the other trembles: so if one Servant of Christ be in a suffering condition, another suffers with him; and this, as one saith, is the damp of all a Believers worldly delights, he suffers with him, if not by him, he transfers their troubles to his own soul.
