Seventhly, As they are to Preach Christ painfully, so they are to Preach Christ Exemplarily. 1 Pet. 5. 3. Be thou an example to the flock. They must Preach Christ as well in life, as in doctrine. Ministers must not be like the Drugs, that Physicians say are hot in the mouth, and cold in operation; hot in the Pulpit, and cold and careless in their lives and conversations. ⟨p. 304⟩They must say, as Gideon said to his Soldiers, Judg. 17. 17. Look on me, and do likewise. Mat. 5. 16. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your father which is in heaven. They are 1called Angels, and they are called▪ Stars, because they should shine in righteousness and holiness.
