Hence, 1. Let superiors be admonished to give instruction and reproof
to those that are under their charge, as they will answer it in the day
of account. They must not only instruct with the light of knowledge,
but reprove with the heat of zeal; and both these must be done with the
authority and affection of a father, and must be continued, though the
desired effect be not immediately perceived. If the instruction be
despised, give reproof, and rebuke sharply. It is indeed against the
grain with good-humoured men to find fault, and make those about them
uneasy; but better so than to suffer them to go on undisturbed in the
way to ruin. 2. Let inferiors be admonished, not only to submit to
instruction and reproof (even hardships must be submitted to), but to
value them as favours and not despise them, to make use of them for
their direction, and always to have a regard to them; this will be an
evidence that they are wise and a means of making them so; whereas he
that slights his good education is a fool and is likely to live and die
one.
