Proverbs25:10

Verſ. 10. Leſt hee that heareth it put thee to ſhame] Repute thee and report thee an evill-conditioned fellow, a back-biter, and a tale-bearer, one not fit to be truſted with ſecrets, &c. True it is, that deareſt friends are in ſome caſes to be accuſed and complained of to thoſe that may do good upon them; as Joſeph brought his brethrens evil report to his father, and as the houſhold of Chloe told Paul of the Corinthian contentions. But this muſt be done wiſely and regularly, with due obſervation of circumſtances, as Salomon elegantly ſets forth in the following Proverb.
