105. That they are frequently to be corrected who do wrong in domestic duty.

107. That we must not use detraction.

In Solomon, in the Proverbs: “Love not to detract, lest thou be taken away.”^[4606] Also in the forty-ninth Psalm: “Thou sattest, and spakest against thy brother; and against the son of thy mother thou placedst a stumbling-block.”^[4607] Also in the Epistle of Paul to the Colossians:^[4608] “To speak ill of no man, nor to be litigious.”^[4609]

108. That we must not lay snares against our neighbour.

In Solomon, in the Proverbs: “He who diggeth a pit for his neighbour, himself shall fall into it.”^[4610]
