Smooth Elocution, Fine Pronunciation, and the like, will soone bring vs into that veine of preaching, which Bishop Latimer once blamed, vnder the wittie terme of Straw-berry preaching; and which S. Ierome doth so much deride in his Epistle to Nepotianus, telling him, that the Spirit of God came downe in the likenesse of an Innocent Doue, not Painted butterflie. Assure we our selues brethren, that as the rare and absolute quality of the Pen, consisteth not in Painting, Pricking forth, and tedious writing of sixe lines in a studie, no more doth the Excellencie of Preaching in the like exactnes. See 1 Cor. 14.15. Had the Fathers tooke this course, their workes had neuer beene in so many large volumes as now we haue them. I grant yee; |
Smooth Elocution, Fine Pronunciation, and the like, will soon bring us into that vein of preaching, which Bishop Latimer once blamed, under the witty term of Strawberry preaching; and which S. Jerome does so much deride in his Epistle to Nepotianus, telling him, that the Spirit of God Come down in the likeness of an Innocent Dove, not Painted butterfly. Assure we our selves brothers, that as the rare and absolute quality of the Pen, Consisteth not in Painting, Pricking forth, and tedious writing of sixe lines in a study, no more does the Excellency of Preaching in the like exactness. See 1 Cor. 14.15. Had the Father's took this course, their works had never been in so many large volumes as now we have them. I grant ye; |
