1First, to reprove or convince both by authority and reason (Lev: 19.17.) Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart, thou shalt in any wise rebuke him; or, reproving thou shalt reprove him; that is, Thou shalt surely reprove him. And in that famous Prophecy concerning Christ (Isa: 11.4.) He shall reprove with equity; we put in the margin, He shall argue with equity, or convince by such reasons and arguments as shall carry the greatest equity in them. Thus when Christ had finished his Sermon on the mount, it is said (Math: 7.28, 29.) The people (his Auditors) were astonished at his doctrine, for he taught them as one having authority, and not as the Scribes. This Sermon carrying so great a reproof of the Scribes and Pharisees, both as to their life and doctrine throughout, may well be expounded as a fulfilling of that ancient prophecy; It being confessed in another place of the Gospel, even by the Officers that were sent to attach him (John 7.46.) Never man spake like this man. The words of Christ had so much evidence, so much equity in them, that they who came to take and catch him, were taken and caught, if not to conversion, yet to such a conviction, by what he spake, that they could not (though they highly displeased their Masters in saying so) but say, Never man spake like this man; As if they had said, Surely, the man that speaks thus is more then a man.
