Men that do ill out of ignorance, will amend by the punishments and reproofs of scorners, though they themselves will not: or, scorners must be smitten that offend out of malice, that others may amend; but he that sins out of frailty, will amend if he be but reproved, though he be not smitten, when he duely considers what he hath done. will beware] Heb. will be cunning.
