Sayfa 31 - Simon, lovest thou me more than these ?" from which they justly gather, that the love of God, a zeal for his honour, and a preferring of that to all other things whatsoever, is a necessary and indispensable qualification for that holy employment; which distinguishes the true shepherd from the hireling, and by which only he can be both animated and fortified to go through with the labours and difficulties, as well as the dangers and sufferings, which may accompany it.

Sayfa 214 - ... to lay open a text to him, with all the matter that belongs to it, together with the order in which it ought to be both explained and applied. And when a man has attained to a tolerable degree in this, he is then the master of his business; he is master also of much time, and of many noble thoughts, and schemes that will arise out of them. This I shall prosecute no further ; for if this opening of it does not excite the reader to follow it a little, no enlargements I can offer upon it will work...
Sayfa 200 - ... or not right heard; it has been fine, and has probably delighted the congregation, rather than edified it. But that sermon that makes every one go away silent and grave, and hastening to be alone, to meditate or pray over the matter of it in secret, has had its true effect.
Sayfa 218 - ... joined together, we must never set asunder. " We must be setting constantly before our clergy their obligations to the several parts of their duty ; we must lay these upon them when we institute or collate them to churches in the solemnest manner, and with the weightiest words we can find. We must then lay the importance of the care of souls before them, and adjure them, as they will answer to God in the great day, in which we must appear to witness against them, that they will seriously consider...
Sayfa 164 - ... plainly, that he who officiates is ' dead and formal' in it.
