Bishop Burnet’s advice on the subject is truly episcopal—‘To give the studies of the clergy their full effect; a priest that is much in his study ought to employ a great part of his time in secret and fervent prayer, for the direction and blessing of God in his labours, for the constant assistance of his Holy Spirit, and for a lively sense of Divine matters, so that he may feel the impressions of them grow deep and strong upon his thoughts. This and only this will make him go on with his work, without wearying, and always rejoicing in it. This will make his expressions of these things to be happy and noble, when he can bring them out of the good treasure of his heart that is ever full and always warm with them.’ Pastoral Care, chap. viii.
