So mention being made of his compassionateness and fellow-suffering with us; Heb. 4. 15. it is added v. 16. that he administers, [Greek or Hebrew], seasonable Grace, Grace for help in a time of need. This is an evidence of compassion when like the Samaritan we afford seasonable help. To lament our troubles, or miseries without affording help, is to no purpose. Now this Christ doth, he gives [Greek or Hebrew] seasonable help. Help being a thing that regards want, is always Excellent: but its coming in season, puts a crown upon it. A pardon to a malefactor when he is ready to be executed, is sweet and welcome. Such is the Assistance given by Christ. All his Saints may take this as a sure Rule, both in their Temptations and Afflictions; when they can want them, they shall not want relief; and when they can bear no longer, they shall be relieved, 1 Cor. 10. 13.
