The application of redemption

It's lawful for a Minister so to cast the mould, and carry §2the frame of his Application that the guilty parties may conceive it, and their Consciences find and feel […], that they be the parties that the Lord points out, and intends of purpose to […] and pursue, Matth. 21. 41. 45. Thus our Saviour lays out the corrupt carriages of the Scribes and Pharisees, and paints them out so lively that they felt him, and were forced to give in evidence of their own condemnation against themselves; as in verse 41. They say, he will miserably destroy those wicked men; and verse 45. When the chief Priests heard this, they perceived that he spake of them.

In case either some false Opinions are spreading, or §3some corrupt and sinful practices are like to grow and leaven and that speedily and dangerously, It's lawful in way of caution and prevention to discover mens sins and errors in their own words, that others may avoid them the better, and they be ashamed of them the more Thus Peter discovers the faults and wretched behaviour of the Jews to our saviour in their own words.
