Here we may learn how impartial the Ministers of God ought to be in their work,1 they must not go according to their particular private engagements, though they are engaged more to such a people in divers regards, yet if they be wicked, they must deal faithfully, and plainly, and denounce the judgements of God: And if others, though strangers to them, be godly, they are to give to them that comfort that belongs unto them. My brethren, partiality in those in public places, especially of the Ministry, is a great evil.
