And thus it appears, how seldom we weigh our neighbor in the same balance with ourselves. If all men were perfect, what should we then have to suffer of others for God? But now God has thus ordered it, that, we may learn to bear one another's burdens.† No man is without fault, no man without his burden, no no man is sufficient of himself, no man wise enough of himself. But we ought to bear with one another, comfort one another, help, instruct, and admonish one another.†
