‘Most assuredly’ (remarks Mr. Scott) ‘this undistinguishing way of preaching is “casting that which is holy to the dogs;” and I am deeply convinced it is one of the worst mistakes that a preacher can fall into; tending most directly to stupify the consciences and harden the hearts of the ungodly, and to “strengthen their hands, that they should not return from their evil way;” and in proportion, discouraging the heart of the humble, broken, contrite believer.’ Letters and Papers, p. 441. Comp. Ezek 22.26.
