Moreover of his own experience, 1he feeleth other mens need, and no less commendeth to God the infirmities of other, then his own, knowing that there is no strength, no help, no succour, but of God only. And as merciful as he feeleth God in his hart to himself ward, so merciful is he to other, and as greatly as he feeleth his own misery, so great compassion hath he on other. His neighbour is no less care to him, then himself. He feeleth his neighbours grief, no less then his own. And whensoever he seeth occasion he cannot but pray for his neighbour, as well as for himself: his nature is to seek the honour of God in all men, and to draw (as much as in him is) all men unto God. This is the law of love, which springeth out of Christs blood, into the hearts of all them that have their trust in him. No man needeth to bid a Christen man to pray, if he see his neighbours need: if he see it not, put him in remembrance only, & then he can not but do his duty.
