'tis Hard Preaching A Stone Into Tears,

Make Careful Choice Of The Books Which You Read: Let The Holy Scriptures Ever Have The Pre-eminence, And, Next To Them, Those Solid, Lively, Heavenly Treatises Which Best Expound And Apply The Scriptures, And Next, Credible Histories, Especially Of The Church... But Take Heed Of False Teachers Who Would Corrupt Your Understandings.

A Foolish Physician He Is, And A Most Unfaithful Friend, That Will Let A Sick Man Die For Fear Of Troubling Him; And Cruel Wretches Are We To Our Friends, That Will Rather Suffer Them To Go Quietly To Hell, Then We Will Anger Them, Or Hazard Our Reputation With Them.

It Is Not The Reading Of Many Books Which Is Necessary To Make A Man Wise Or Good; But Well Reading Of A Few.
