* 1.1SECT. III.

2. ALl those that have special familiarity with some ungodly men, and that have interest in them, God looks for this duty at their hands. Christ himself did eat and drink with Publi∣cans and sinners, but it was only to be their Physitian, and not their companion. Who knows but God gave you interest in them, to this end, that you might be means of their recovery. They that will not regard the words of another, will regard a brother, or sister, or husband, or wife, or neer friend, Besides that the bond of friendship doth engage you to more kindness and compassion then ordinary.
