Compassionate counsel to all young men especially I. London apprentices, II. students of divinity,…

(1.) Because they have by Wit and Study, bended that Doctrine to defend their sin, which should be used to bring them to Repentance.

(2.) And because their aggravated sin against Light, doth most forfeit that help of Grace which should work Repentance in them.

(3.) And because being taken for Wise Learned men, and Preachers of Truth, and Teachers of others, and reprovers of Errors, their Reputation is much concerned in it, and their unhumbled Souls, which look all ⟨p. 132⟩others should Assent and Consent to their prescripts, will hardly be brought to confess sin and Error; but will sooner (as Papists) plead-infallibility, or conclude as some Councils have done that a Lay man must not accuse a Clergy man, be he never so bad. Repentance is hard to all men of carnal interest, but to few more than to an unhumbled Clergy man.
