Philemon1:7
7 For we have great joy, and consolation in thy love , because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother .
Thy Love doth not extend only to the poor distressed Saints helped, and releived by thee, but it hath its effect upon others together with my self, it is a wonderful joy, and comfort to us to hear, that God hath so opened, and enlarged thy heart, the fruit of Grace in one, are a true cause of joy, and thanksgiving to all Christians, because God by them is glorified.
The Saints, or the bowels of the Saints, [non-Latin text not transcribed], are brought to a rest, as travellers after their journey, or labourers after their dayes labour, when they come to sit still.
