Remedy I.
Let all those whose Ministry God blesses with the desirable fruits of Conversion, look carefully after the Souls of young Converts.
No Nurse should be more tender and careful of her Charge, than a Minister should be: and unto the care of a tender Nurse, Paul compareth his care over the young Converts in Thessalonica, 1 Thess. 2. 7. for alas, they lie exposed to all dangers: they are credulous, and Seducers cunning: they want judgment to discern Truth from Error; have not yet attained unto Senses exercised, and Age in Christ to discern Good from Evil: when Errors are made palatable, Children will be hankering after them, and Seducers have the very art to make them so. —Veluti pueris absynthia tetra medentes Cum dare conantur, prius or as pocula circum Contingunt dulci Mellis, flavóque liquor.
