speed_a whereunto_o one_o general_a point_n be_v to_o be_v observe_v upon_o the_o prophet_n counsel_v of_o she_o as_o in_o part_n have_v be_v lay_v down_o before_o and_o it_o do_v concern_v principal_o all_o minister_n and_o as_o from_o they_o all_o other_o christian_n the_o minister_n to_o stand_v up_o as_o in_o god_n behalf_n to_o minister_v word_n of_o divine_a and_o holy_a comfort_n to_o all_o god_n afflict_a people_n and_o that_o in_o due_a season_n to_o the_o which_o purpose_n the_o prophet_n isaiah_n do_v in_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n jesus_n himself_o the_o true_a comforter_n represent_v they_o who_o be_v call_v to_o the_o ministry_n of_o god_n word_n the_o lord_n god_n have_v give_v i_o say_v he_o a_o tongue_n of_o the_o learned_a 4._o that_o i_o shall_v know_v to_o minister_v a_o word_n in_o time_n to_o he_o that_o be_v weary_a that_o be_v to_o he_o who_o be_v any_o way_n distress_v in_o conscience_n or_o oppress_v by_o affliction_n and_o misery_n and_o that_o so_o weary_a come_v to_o i_o and_o of_o this_o mercy_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n the_o minister_n shall_v be_v able_a as_o from_o not_o only_a knowledge_n out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o

for_o as_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n abound_v in_o we_o so_o our_o consolation_n abound_v through_o christ_n 18._o the_o like_a be_v say_v of_o christ_n for_o in_o that_o he_o suffer_v and_o

to_o comfort_v other_o which_o be_v under_o any_o heaviness_n or_o affliction_n and_o this_o be_v the_o general_a point_n to_o be_v observe_v upon_o the_o prophet_n counsell-giving_a to_o the_o widow_n now_o let_v we_o see_v the_o counsel_n itself_o and_o he_o say_v go_v borrow_v thou_o vessel_n abroad_o of_o all_o thy_o neighbour_n empty_a vessel_n and_o spare_v not_o 4._o and_o when_o thou_o be_v come_v in_o thou_o shall_v shut_v the_o door_n upon_o thou_o and_o upon_o thy_o son_n and_o pour_v out_o into_o all_o those_o vessel_n and_o set_v aside_o those_o that_o be_v full_a the_o general_a observation_n in_o this_o counsel_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o the_o put_v it_o in_o practice_n by_o the_o widow_n be_v this_o all_o person_n in_o all_o case_n of_o extremity_n be_v mutual_o to_o aid_n and_o assist_v each_o other_o in_o the_o restore_n of_o any_o decay_a among_o they_o as_o here_o first_o the_o prophet_n in_o his_o counsel-giving_a than_o neighbour_n in_o their_o lend_n the_o widow_n in_o her_o work_n together_o by_o her_o son_n upon_o the_o empty_a vessel_n of_o oil_n her_o son_n in_o go_v up_o and_o down_o fetch_v carry_v pour_v out_o of_o the_o full_a vessel_n sort_v and_o set_v aside_o the_o empty_a from_o the_o full_a to_o their_o right_a end_n and_o this_o be_v teach_v by_o way_n of_o similitude_n in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n where_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o the_o church_n in_o christ_n as_o of_o the_o member_n in_o one_o body_n 5._o sai_z for_o as_o we_o have_v many_o member_n in_o one_o body_n and_o all_o member_n have_v not_o one_o office_n so_o we_o be_v many_o be_v one_o body_n in_o christ_n and_o every_o one_o another_o member_n and_o as_o one_o member_n in_o the_o natural_a body_n according_a as_o it_o be_v in_o want_n and_o weakness_n be_v to_o be_v respect_v with_o care_n by_o that_o other_o which_o be_v above_o it_o in_o power_n and_o ability_n so_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v much_o more_o in_o the_o mystical_a body_n of_o christ_n jesus_n who_o be_v mutual_o to_o serve_v one_o another_o in_o love_n but_o that_o the_o member_n shall_v have_v the_o same_o care_n one_o for_o another_o say_v the_o apostle_n 26._o 26._o therefore_o if_o one_o member_n suffer_v all_o suffer_v with_o it_o if_o one_o member_n be_v have_v in_o honour_n all_o the_o member_n rejoice_v with_o it_o and_o to_o this_o purpose_n each_o person_n and_o thing_n in_o god_n providence_n be_v ordain_v for_o the_o succour_n and_o relief_n of_o his_o child_n under_o the_o cross_n thus_o god_n wrought_v for_o david_n by_o jonathan_n by_o jonathan_n boy_n and_o by_o the_o arrow_n that_o jonathan_n shoot_v beyond_o the_o mark_n for_o the_o inform_v of_o david_n how_o saul_n stand_v affect_v towards_o he_o each_o person_n and_o

none_o no_o not_o the_o mighty_a can_v stand_v alone_o by_o themselves_o without_o help_n in_o case_n of_o extremity_n it_o will_v make_v they_o more_o careful_a and_o ready_a to_o relieve_v each_o

we_o have_v be_v in_o former_a time_n to_o discharge_v this_o duty_n and_o thereupon_o to_o go_v to_o god_n by_o and_o in_o prayer_n for_o the_o gracious_a assistance_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n thereby_o to_o quicken_v we_o up_o unto_o a_o further_o and_o more_o compassionate_a care_n in_o all_o christian_a love_n to_o and_o for_o the_o good_a of_o other_o for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v now_o where_o he_o say_v go_v and_o borrow_v thou_o vessel_n abroad_o of_o all_o thy_o neighbour_n empty_a vessel_n and_o spare_v not_o or_o not_o a_o few_o but_o as_o many_o as_o thou_o may_v get_v that_o there_o be_v no_o want_n of_o vessel_n to_o work_v into_o the_o prophet_n counsel_n as_o a_o command_n from_o god_n do_v animate_v and_o encourage_v the_o widow_n to_o use_v all_o her_o
