56 ST. MATTHEW. "21. And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them." Sometimes God is pleased to unite by grace those who are already united by nature, to show that he does not design to destroy, but to repair it; sometimes he separates them, to prove their sincerity, to show the force of his grace and of his love; to make known his sovereign power, and that he chooses his ministers with distinction, and with the greatest wisdom. There is a time to cast the nets into the sea, that is, to labour for the salvation of others ; and a time to mend them, that is, for a man to pre- pare himself for labour, to make the best amends he can for his wandering, and other imperfections, by prayer and retirement, to gain new strength, and to fortify himself against the dangers to which he may probably be exposed. " 22. And they immediately left the ship, and their father, and followed him." We must renounce all human expectations, and all the tenderness of nature, (represented here by the nets and the father of these apostles,) in order to enter into the ministry with spirit. And what shall we not a true find in apostolic thee, O Jesus, if we leave all for thy sake 1 He who but just now united brethren, by calling them to the ministry of grace, now separates the sons from their father, to teach them to obey God at the expense of all things, and to prefer the honour of serving him in poverty and humility, to all the comforts of a father's house.
