Seventhly, Disclose and reveal that sin, the guilt whereof doth so much disquiet thy soul, unto some judicious compassionate and experienced Christian; giving vent to your own sorrows by complaints, is a great way to ease the mind▪ If in Innocency God thought fit that Adam should not be alone, but should have a helper; much more now in a state of defection since the fall, do we need others help as well as our own; if Jesus Christ when in an agony, God thought fit to send an Angel to comfort him; O then do not believers need much more, when they are in their spiritual agony and conflicts, and temptations, do they need some to comfort them: The Apostle on this ground bids Christians to comfort one another, 1 Thes. 4. last v. Comfort you one another, &c. 1 Epistle 5. •4. Comfort the feeble minded, support the weak, be patient toward all men. God doth enjoin Christians this mutual act of love, comfort ye one another: As it is in an Arch, it is so artificially built, that though the stones of the Arch do all hang downwards, yet one stone doth support another that they do not fall. O beloved Christians, that are lively stones in Christ's spiritual building, you should be as the stones of an Arch, that though one stone doth hang downward, yet the stones next it should bear it up; this makes Solomon say, two is better then one, for if one fall, the other should help him up.
