Lastly, You must honour them By adhering to them, and biding with them in all their trials, afflictions, and tribulations that do or shall attend them. 'Tis brave to own them in a storm, to own them when others disown them, when others oppose them, and act highly against them. Paul looked upon himself as much honoured by Onesiphorus owning of him in his chains, 2 Tim. 1. 16. The Lord give mercy unto the house 1of Onesiphorus, for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain: But when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me. The Lord grant unto him, that he may find mercy of the Lord in that day. And in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well. Chrysostom in an Oration, says of Christians, That they would not be kept from visiting the Confessors in Prison, although it was forbidden with many threatening terrors, and it was great danger to them.
