1If Jesus Christ have assumed our nature, Then he is sensibly touched with the infirmities that attend it; and so hath pity and compassion for us under all our burdens. And indeed this was one end of his assuming it, that he might be able to have compassion on us, as you read, Heb. 2.17.18. Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful High-Priest, in things pertaining to God; to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. For in that he himself hath suffered, being tempted; he is able to succour them hat are tempted. O what a comfort is this to us, that he who is our High-Priest in Heaven, hath our nature on him, to enable him to take compassion on us!
