Ministers may here learn, as just occasion is given, to call their people to the remembrance of weighty points,⟨p. 97⟩ especially such as they observe their people most backward unto. It is not sufficient once to have delivered such a point, but again, and if need be, again it is to be urged. The Apostle having propounded Christ a pattern of patience to the Hebrews, because he was a most worthy and perfect pattern,c he calleth themf again to consider him. Thus shall Ministers show that they make a difference betwixt points of less or greater need; and that they have respect to the good of their people.
