It should be the care of Ministers, and others, (it generally belongs to all Christians) to free themselves from any ill suspicion in the hearts of others as much as they can; as S. Paul did here the suspicion of inconstancy, and lightness, and want of love to them that he did not come among them.

Suspicion is a Canker that eats into the soul where it is, and it will consume and waste all love. It is the very venom of Love, and friendship. A 1little thing will breed it, but will not work it out. Therefore we ought first of all to take great heed that we give no ground of suspicion at all; or if we do, that we be careful to get it out as soon as we can: for usually where it takes place, it boils till it break out into words, and then words when they are discovered, breed strangeness, and that breeds other inconveniences.
