Reformed Pastor. ‘That which many times causes uneasiness in Pastors, is a principle of self-love, which prompts us to seek a private unwarranted delight in that change of men’s minds which we have effected. The spirit of man pleases itself with the success of its own travail; and when we seem to propose no other aim but God’s glory, the deceitfulness of self-love is less capable of discovery.’ Bishop Godeau’s Past. Instructions, pp. 44, 45. ‘See here the perfect pattern of an Evangelical preacher—to make his reputation and the confidence of the people subservient—not to his own interest—but to the good of souls, and to establishing the kingdom of God.’ Quesnel on Matt. 4.23-25.
