Tillotson: dealing with other's faults

Friday, June 30, 2017
Meditation:
    [Jesus:] “But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you...”
    —Luke 6:27 (ESV)
Quotation:
    He is not a good Christian, that is not heartily sorry for the faults even of his greatest enemies; and, if he will be so, he will [lay them bare] no further than is necessary to some good end.
    ... John Tillotson (1630-1694), Works of Dr. John Tillotson, v. III, London: J. F. Dove, for R. Priestley, 1820, Sermon XLII, p. 268 (see the book)
