It requires all due care to preserve the good Name and Honour of other Men, as well as our own; for Christians are not to be of narrow and private Spirits, which centre only in ⟨p. 147⟩their own interests and concernments, Phil. 2.4. Look not every man on his own things; but every man also on the things of others.

Q. 4. How are we to preserve the good Names of others?
A. We are to preserve the good Names of oaths by an inward esteem of all the good that is in them, Phil. 2.3. —In lowliness of mi•d let each esteem other better than themselves. And manifesting our inward esteem of them by a wise and seasonable expression thereof for their encouragement in the ways of Godliness, Rom. 1.8. First I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
