9. A weak Christian is one that cannot bear reproof.1 Sharp weather will discover whether thou art of a weak or sound body;—so a sharp reproof will discover whether thou art of a weak spiritual temper & constitution. When Nathan came to David he could bear the reproof, though the Prophet told him to his face, He was the man that had sinned; but Asa, 2though a good man, could not endure the faithful reproof of a Prophet,3 But was wroth with the Seer, and put him in the prison-house.
