stand by one another; in sorrows they

would sympathise and comfort one another;

if beset with enemies, one would watch

while the other slept; if one were sick, the

other would comfort with cordials, (Col. iii.

2.) if one were indisposed in mind, the o-

ther would divert with some sweet song, or

discourse concerning the pleasant land ; if

one were at a loss concerning any part of the

way, the other would assist in searching and

explaining the directions; if one were ready

to turn aside, the other would caution and

admonish of the danger ; if one were em-

ployed in any service, the other would be

ready to assist therein ; if one found a re-

freshing spring by the way, would call the

other to come and drink ; if one found any

refreshing fruit, sweet spices or delightful

flowers, would pluck and bring to the other;

f one heard any joyful tidings, would come

rejoicing and tell the other, if one had any

pleasant prospects of the kingdom, would

endeavour to shew them to the other; if

one was blessed with any special favours,

the other would congratulate and rejoice

on the occasion, &c. (Eccles. iv. 9.)

than one; and yet it was manifest that they

were no more twain, for I knew not whe-

ther to call them two souls dwelling in one

body, or one soul inhabiting two bodies:

but it appeared very conspicious, that two

were become ONE.
