    The proud he tam'd, the penitent he cheer'd:
    Nor to rebuke the rich offender fear'd.
    His preaching much, but more his practice wrought;
    (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.

Judge not the preacher; for he is thy judge:
If thou mislike him, thou conceiv'st him not.
God calleth preaching folly. Do not grudge
To pick out treasures from an earthen pot.
The worst speak something good. If all want sense,
God takes a text, and preaches patience.
