(2.) I do not hereby exclude the Benefit which we have by the Communion of the Saints in the Mystical Body of Christ here in this World. The Members are mutually useful to one another; as 'tis said Col. 2.19. —From which all the Body by joints and hands, having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God. 'Tis from the Head, but knit together by Nerves, Veins and Arteries: The Apostle saith, that every joint supplieth something, Eph. 4.16. we communicate to one another that strength and nourishment which all receive by the Head. There is no Member but is of use, we have benefit from one another's Gifts and Graces, or else we could not be serviceable in the Body: But the Case in the Text is different, these foolish Virgins had their former advantages, which they should have improved▪ to have supplied them in the day of their Account. Now the wise could not help the foolish, nor the foolish the wise: But every man shall be judged according to what is within him.
