Obj. 3. But even private Christians as truly godly are traduced.
Answ. First, Sometime they neglect their life of faith, 2 Sam. 12.13, 14. Secondly, God prevents sin in them by false reports. Thirdly, It is but at the hands of wicked men, Acts 28.22, & 24.25. Fourthly, If it be at the hands of brethren, it is through their Ignorance, Emulation, and Rashness, which God at length will overwrestle, Job 42.7. Otherwise God hideth the names of his children in the secret of his Tabernacle from the strife of Tongues, Psal. 31.20. The words are a proverbial Doctrine.
