Preach Plainly.

COWARDICE in a minister is baser than in a soldier, by how much our warfare is more honorable. A faithful reproof will get more love and honor at the last than a sinful and fawning dissimulation. Though Paul reproved the dissimulation of Peter, yet Peter praised the wisdom of Paul. A man can have no worse enemy in the world than a flattering and fawning minister, that dares not deal plainly with his conscience. We are in much more danger to wrong the souls of men by our oil than by our salt—by our praises than by our reproof.—Bishop Reynolds.
