THis clearly shews what infinite Benefit the Godly receive from Jesus Christ, and what Dependency they have upon him. What can the Body do without the Head?
2. How happy are all true Believers! how near and dear are they to the Lord Jesus! what greater Union is there, than that between the Members and the Head!No Man ever hated his own Flesh, but nourisheth and cherisheth it, as the Lord the Church.
3. What will become of those evil and wicked Men, that seek to destroy the Church and Saints of God! Do they not herein strive to break Christ's Bones, and tear his Flesh in pieces? What will they do in the Day of Vengeance, when he comes forth to plead the Controversy of Zion.
4. This reproves that Church, that pretends it self to be Christ's Body, and yet slights and grievously neglects his Members, nay, his most useful Members. The Church should be as careful and tender of her Ministers, as the natural Body is of its Eyes. Shall the Eye suffer, or be in danger of being put out or spoiled, and the Hand refuse to relieve and defend it, when it is in its power?
