Fifthly, By bearing each others infirmities. Christians like the clearest fire, will have some smoke, whereby they are apt to offend each others eyes, and to cause anger. The best and most pious, may sometimes be peevish. Those brethren that love sincerely, may too often quarrel; True Members of the same body, may by some accident be dis-jointed; Though contentions argue them to have flesh, yet they may arise where there is spirit. Therefore the Holy Ghost commandeth, Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfil the Law of Christ; Here is the Commandment enjoined, and the Argument whereby it is enforced, Galat. 6. 2.
