Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Corinthians 12:26

26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it, or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it .

From this union of the members in the body natural of all the members proceedeth a natural Sympathy, that if one member suffereth, all are afflicted, and ready to contribute to the relief and help each of other; and likewise the honour that is reflected on the body, is reflected on all the par[illegible: 1 letter]s, and all rejoice. [illegible: 1 letter]n the good that affecteth any one single member.
