As old men should abound in knowledge, so they should approve themselves ready to teach the ignorant.
I said days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom. 'Tis a duty incumbent upon them who have learned much, to teach much. To convey wisdom and knowledge to others is most proper to such, as well as most ornamental, and honourable. To be knowing our selves is a great mercy, and to help others to the knowledge of what we know is a great duty; we loose one special end of knowing, if we know only for our selves. To communicate and diffuse our knowledge to others is the noblest way of using it, and the best way of improving it, and that in a double respect; First, it is the best way of improving it, as to increase; Secondly, it is the best way of improving it, as to reward. The more we give out our knowledge, the more we shall have of it, and the more we shall have for it both from God and men. The Apostle saith of a Gospel Minister (1 Tim. 3.2.) He must be apt to teach, not only able, but apt, that is, ready and willing to teach; now what the Apostle speaks there of an Elder by office, is true of those that are elders in time, they also should be apt to teach; not only able, but ready and willing to teach in and according to their sphere and power.

To communicate and diffuse our knowledge to others is the noblest way of using it, and the best way of improving it, and that in a double respect; First, it is the best way of improving it, as to encrease; Secondly, it is the best way of improving it, as to reward. The more we give out our knowledge, the more we shall have of it, and the more we shall have for it both from God and men. The Apostle saith of a Gospel Minister (
