Genesi 33:13

And he said unto him, My lord knoweth that the children [are] tender, and the flocks and herds with young [are] with me: and if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die.

Ver. 13. If men should over-drive.] A pattern of a good pastor, ever to have an eye to the weak ones; and so to regard all in his flock, as he overdrive not any. "Who hath despised the day of small things?" Zec 4:10 Weak ones are to be received, "but not to doubtful disputations." Rom 14:1 Novices are not to be put upon the austerities of religion. Mat 9:15 Christ preached "as they were able to hear." Mar 4:33 Peter was specially charged to look to the "lambs." Joh 21:15 Christ "bears them in his bosom, and gently leads those that are with young." Isa 40:11
