The other Caution is to redress defect about this duty here required of following Guides.
THe other Caution is to redress defect about this duty here required of following Guides.
Defect is manifested in those who having such Guides do think that they go far if they approve and commend their doctrine and course of life, if they well entertain them, and be beneficial to them while they live, and speak well of them when they are dead, but follow not their faith. Though they may seem to go far, yet they come very short of that full duty which they owe to their Guides, and fail of the best benefit they might reap from them, which is to be like unto them. That which they do in testimony of their approving them, is an evidence of their failing in following them, and an aggravation of that their failing.
