 in reprooving other mens vices, when they should not, and when they should, they are altogether silent.

Doct. 2. We must put our neighbours in remembrance of those things which make most for their good.

This is gathered from that particle, Wherefore.

Reason. Because admonition and exhortation are according to their nature, workes of charity, and tend unto the good of our neighbour: therefore we should use it most unto those from whom we may expect most good. Vse 1. This may serve to reprove those, who, if their neighbours do any thing unseemely or uncivilly, or to the losse of their honour, or some outward profit, do presently take notice of it in them; but never looke after those things that doe most pertaine to the kingdome of God: those things indeed should not be neglected, but these things should chiefly be looked after. 2. To exhort us, in those things which pertaine to the kingdome of God, and the salvation of soules, to have an especiall care of our duty towards our neighbour. Hitherto belongs that which Peter saith, that he would not be negligent, that is, that he would never lay aside the care of these things which although it did in a speciall manner pertaine to the duty of Peter, an Apostle, and other Ministers of the word, yet it is proportionably to be extended to the common duty of all Christians, because the reasons which strengthen it, are for the most part common. Doct. 3. In justice and equity we are bound to put one another in remembrance.

This is gathered from these words, I think it meet: for although it doth not pertain unto that particular justice, which consists in the equality of the thing received and repayed, yet it is called justice, because it hath as strong an obligation, as any thing that is due by justice, Rom. 1.14. Vse. This may serve to reprove those that account it a sinne to be negligent in paying debts, but make no account of the neglect of this duty. Doct. 4. They that are learned and also stablished in the truth, do yet stand in need of admonitions and exhortations.

This is gathered from these words, though ye know them and be stablished in the present truth.
