1 Private offences must be privately reproved; For saith our Saviour,1 If thy brother trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone. But open and scandalous offences must be reproved openly. For saith the Apostle,2 Them that sin, viz. openly, and with scandal, rebuke before all, i. e. before the whole assembly of the Church, that others also may fear.
