This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Pro_28:23 He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue.
Ver. 23. He that rebuketh a man shall find, &c.] He that binds a madman, or rouseth up one in a lethargy, hath but little thank for present; so here. In the sweating sickness, they that were kept awake escaped; but the sickness was deadly to them that were suffered to sleep. Let us keep one another awake, saith a reverend man, {a} - an unpleasing work on both sides, but we shall one day thank such. See how well Master Gilpin’s plain dealing with the Bishop of Durham succeeded, in his Life written by Bishop Carlton, p. 58.
{a} Dr Sibbes.
