Hebrews13:3

3 Remember them which are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity , as being your selves also in the body.

A further duty of the subjects of Christ's Kingdom, is Sympathy with their Christian Brethren, to remember to pray for, visit and minister all necessary refreshment to those in Bonds, fettered, manacled and imprisoned for Christ's sake and the Gospel, being straitned for them, and partaking of their Bonds, bearing them with them, and seeking their deliverance out of them by all just means, Matth. 25.36. Ephes. 6.19, 20. Col. 4.18. 2 Tim. 1.16, 17, 18.

Be mindful of those suffering any Evil for Christ's sake and the Gospel, Persecuted, Oppressed, or Afflicted, who have not deserved any of this from Man, so as to carry it suitably to them in these conditions, chap. 11.36, 37, 38. So feelingly, as if we were the Persons in their conditions; carefully knowing we are in Bodies capable and liable to the same, and are ignorant how soon it may be our own Case; conscientiously, as knowing we are Members in the same Body of Christ with them, and of them in particular, 1 Cor. 12.25, 26, 27.
