A. In that case we are to grieve for their miscarriages, as the effect and fruit of our love to their Souls, 2 Cor. 2.4. For out of much affliction and anguish of heart, I wrote unto you with many tears, not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you. And to discharge our Duties privately and faithfully in order to their recovery, Mat. 18.15, 16, 17. Moreover, if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone, &c. Winking at and concealing in love their lesser and common infirmities; 1 Pet. 4.8. And above all things have fervent charity among your selves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.
