I come now to the last thing, The subject, or the persons that are stablished; us with you. He that stablisheth us with you. We should have honourable conceits of all Christians: there is an ointment runs down upon the very skirts of Aaron's garment: there is not the lowest Christian, but he receiveth something from Christ the head. Perhaps thou hast one grace in an eminent manner; it may be he hath another more eminent then thou hast: thou may est have more knowledge, he may have more humility: thou mayest have more strength of judgment, he may have more sense of his own wants. There is somewhat in every Christian that is valuable, that is estimable and precious, not only in the eye of God, who valued him so as to give his Son for him; but should be so also in the eye of stronger Christians: therefore S. Paul here, a strong Christian, out of the sweetness of his spirit, joins, us with you: he saith not, you with us; but as if they were as firmly set in Christ as himself, he saith, us with you: he puts them together with himself: for indeed, all of us one with another, weak Christians, and strong Christians fetch all that we have from one Fountain, draw all from one Spring, are led all by one Spirit.
