Paganism Attributes The Creation Of The World

I Remember Myself, That When I Was Young, I Had Sometime The Company Of One Ancient Godly Minister, Who Was Of Weaker Parts Than Many Others, But Yet Did Profit Me More Than Most; Because He Would Never In Prayer Or Conference Speak Of God, Or The Life To Come, But With Such Marvelous Seriousness And Reverence, As If He Had Seen The Majesty And Glory Which He Talked Of.

Of All The Preaching In The World, I Hate That Preaching Which Tends To Make The Hearers Laugh, Or To Move Their Minds With Tickling Levity And Affect Them As Stage Plays Used To, Instead Of Affecting Them With A Holy Reverence For The Name Of God.
