But how will you know that? how can you know a Mans heart?
Thus. You shall know that Men come not to plead for reformation but for contention, first, if they rather make it appear that they are glad of the sins of their brethren and do not grieve for them. You shall have many a Man come in a fury and rage to rebuke Men they have advantage against,1 but not with a spirit of sorrow and mourning; if you came to plead and rebuke them for reformation, you should have come with a mourning spirit, You should have mourned that such a one should be taken away from you, §2saith the Apostle to the Corinths. You should mourn at your very heats that Church or the Member of it hath offended.
