Excerpt from Discourses on the Love of God, and Its Influence on All the Passions: With a Discovery of the Right Use and Abuse of Them in Matters of Religion, Also a Devout Meditation Annexed to Each Discourse There are too many persons who have imbibed, and who propagate this notion, that it is almost the only business of a preacher to teach the necessary doctrines and duties of our holy religion, by a mere explication of the word of God, without enforcing these things on the conscience, by a pathetic addressc to the heart; and that the business of a christian, in his atten dance on sermons, 15 to learn what these doctrines and duties are, withoutt taking. Any pains to awaken the devout sensations of hope and fear, and love and Joy, though the God of nature hath ordained them to be the most effectual allurements or spurs to duty 1n this present animal state. We are often told, that this warm and affection ate religion belongs only to the weaker parts of mankind, and is not strong and manly enough for persons of sense and good reasoning. But where the religious use of the passions is renounced and aban doned, we do not find this cold and dry reasoning sufficient to raise virtue arid piety to any great and honourable degree.
