Concerning teaching, we must know that God doth teach by his spiritu, by his rod*, and by his word, so here: but that which we are here to note is, that the word is to be used by every Christian, even for instruction, this is the end why the Law was givenx, a wise man having gotten knowledge into his head, must by his lips spread it abroady. Qu. But whom must we teach? Ans. Principally our selves, so as we consider our own ways to turn our feet into Gods testimoniesz; yet also we are to teach one another, when we spy our brethren to be ignorant: so should not only Ministers do, but masters of families, and every Christian in conversing with others.
