Ezek. 37.2. We might take an illustration—Mr. Martyn’s Sermon on Psalm 9.17; which fills up Mr. Simeon’s Skeleton on that text. It was worked out (as we incidentally learn from his Life) under circumstances of particular disadvantage and mental agitation. But the life that is infused throughout, the variety of its enlargements, the accuracy of the proportions of its several parts, the skill with which the breaks are completed, and the warm and strong colouring given to the whole—all combine to give it the power and effect of an original and talented composition. See his Life, pp. 130-132, and compare his volume of Sermons (v) with Helps to Composition, Skel. 387.
