2. Let your converse one with another be more fruitful; communicating your experiences, your comforts and supports one to another, exhorting one another, and provoking one another to love, and good works. This questionless is one end of Gods bestowing his gifts and graces upon us, that we might impart what we have received, to the spiritual good and benefit one of another. And hereby shall we increase and improve our own gifts, and graces; by communicating we increase our store. We may warm our own hearts by our endeavours to warm our Brethren's.

That your discourses may be the more profitable, have ever in your mind some useful questions to propound to others: but therein be sure to have respect to the abilities and capacities, and the edifying of your selves, or them, to whom you propound your doubts. If they be Learned Divines, or experienced Christians, then you may desire the opening and clearing some difficult place of Scripture, or the resolving some Case of Conscience, or the explaining some hard point in Divinity.
