How they do. Not only the Pastors, but even all the Brethren; their errors must also be looked into. S. Paul mentions the house of Chloe, 1 Cor. 1. ⟨p. 50⟩It hath been declared to me,1 by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions and faults among you; from thence he had information of their disorders. Answerable to which, we have Church-wardens, they are the house of Chloe, bound by oath to present misdemeanours, that sins may have their just censure. Let them on the one side, take heed of spleen, that they do nothing maliciously. So their accusation may be just, and their affection unjust: & in doing that they shall sin, which they had sinned in not doing. Ill• d•t poenam, tu amisisti laudem. On the other side: of connivance and partiality; for there is an Omnia benè that swallows all vanities. Drunkenness, uncleanness, swearing, profanation of the Sabbath, go abroad all the year; and when the Visitation comes, they are locked up with an Omnia bene. This is not that Charity that covereth sin, but a miserable indulgence that cherisheth sin.

This is not that Charitie that couereth sinne, but a miserable indulgence that cherisheth sinne.
