Exhortation to Priests: that is (as Archbishop Seeker expounds it) ‘not making either gross pleasures, or more refined amusements, even literary ones unconnected with your profession—or power, or profit, or advancement, or applause, your great aim in life; but labouring chiefly to qualify yourselves for doing good to the souls of men, and applying carefully to that purpose whatever qualifications you attain.’—Instructions to Candidates for Orders, appended to his Charges. Every thing, however refined, that has not the glory of God for its object, must be included in these terms.
