And though we have no Nehemiahs to confess publicly, Nehem. 9. yet let some stand in the gap privately to pray for the people, that the people also may pray for us; and every one must so much more lament as his calling requires. Whose sins thou hast not acknowledged, thou art partaker of them; and if thou admonish not, and do what thou canst with thy kinsfolks and friends to recover them, thou canst not clear thy self of being guilty of their iniquity: but if thou be grieved, and confessest and prayest privately for the sins of thy brother, then mayest thou avoid vainglory in the public.
