The fourth occasion is, neglect of good duties unto our brethren; as of1 2exhortation, admonition, instruction, or rebuke, Joshua 7. Achan stole the execrable thing for himself alone, & yet all the people are charged with that fault, and punished for it: the cause was, their neglect to ⟨p. 122⟩keep one another from that sin, according as God commanded them. chap. 6. 18. This is a great occasion of impiety among us; if neighbour would admonish neighbour, and one brother an other, sin would not be so rife as it is. But this duty is not only neglected of private men one to another, but of public persons, who are more bound unto it. The Magistrate is negligent in punishing, and the Minister in reproving sin: and the master of the family careless in reforming those that are under him, which causeth sin to abound.
