To desire the fellowship and to delight in the society of the faithful: For we shal keep no worse company than that of our Savior. Though happily they dwel in a smo••ky cottage, have course fa••e, be in a mean con∣dition; yet if Christ dwel in them, we need not be ashamed to converse with them, and own them. Go in to their companies, as resolving to go to Court. For where the King is, the Court is: his presence makes it. We should look at the faithful, as the great Heires of glory, and Courtiers of Heaven: we cannot injoy their society, but we may also come to the sight of our Sa∣vior, and speech with him. So, 1. Joh. 1.3. This we write, that you may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with the S••n. So they; Zach. 8.13. And therefore as the A∣postle Hebr. 13.2. Be careful to entertain strangers, for thereby some have entertained Angels unawares: so be ready to entertain the Saints, the poor members of Christ, hereby we shal entertain Christ. Receive such servants into your families &c.
