And likewise God hath ordained one Christian to comfort another, (as 1well as the ministers) Let us therefore regard much the communion of 2Saints. Let one Christian labour to comfort another, and every one labour to be fit to receive comfort from others, labour to have humble and willing spirits. It is so true that God doth convey comfort, even by common Christians as well as the ministers, that St. Paul himself Rom. 1. 12. he desires to see the Romans, that he might receive mutual comfort from them. For a minister may have more knowledge and book-learning perhaps, then another Christian that may have better experience then he, especially in some things: and there is not the meanest Christian, but he may comfort the greatest Clerk in the world, and help him by his experience that God hath showed to him, by declaring how God showed him comfort at such a time, and upon such an occasion, The experience of Gods People, the meanest of them may help the best Christians; therefore he will have none to be neglected.
