    Hear how he clears the points o' Faith
    Wi' rattling an' thumpin'!
    Now meekly calm, now wild in wrath,
    He's stampin', and he's jumpin'!

The proud he tam'd, the penitent he cheer'd:

The proud he tam'd, the penitent he cheer'd:
Nor to rebuke the rich offender fear'd.

(A living sermon of the truths he taught:)
For this by rules severe his life he squar'd:
That all might see the doctrines which they heard.

Would I describe a preacher,
. . . .
I would express him simple, grave, sincere;
In doctrine uncorrupt; in language plain,
And plain in manner; decent, solemn, chaste,
And natural in gesture; much impress'd
Himself, as conscious of his awful charge,
And anxious mainly that the flock he feeds
May feel it too; affectionate in look,
And tender in address, as well becomes
A messenger of grace to guilty men.

Whose hands are pure, whose doctrine and whose life,
Coincident, exhibit lucid proof
That he is honest in the sacred cause.
