1 Cor. 9. 19, 20, 21. For though I be free from all men, yet have I made my self servant unto all, that I might gain the more: And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews: To them that are under the Law, as under the Law, that I might gain them that are under the Law: To them that are without Law, as without Law, (being not without Law to God, but under the Law to Christ) that I might gain them that are without Law. To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak. I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means gain some. Here you have an humble soul bowing and stooping to the meanest Saints, and the lowest services, that he might win souls. So the Lord Jesus himself was famous in this, John 13. 4. Though he was the Lord of glory, and one that thought it no robbery to be equal with God, one that had all perfection and fullness in himself, yet the lowest work is not below this King of Kings, witness his washing his Disciples feet, and wiping them with a Towel.

To the weake became I as weake, that I might gaine the weake. I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means gaine some. Here you have an humble soule bowing and stooping to the meanest Saints, and the lowest services, that he might win soules. So the Lord Jesus himselfe was famous in this, John 13. 4. Though he was the Lord of glory, and one that thought it no robbery to be equall with God, one that had all perfection and fullnesse in himselfe, yet the lowest work is not below this King of Kings, witnesse his washing his Disciples feet, and wiping them with a Towell.
