Description
Excerpt from A Priest to the Temple, Or the Country Parson: His Character and Rule of Holy Life
Paring himself with such a standard, while at the same time it comforts and encourages the weak est, and by a sweet and loving compulsion it helps and guides both in their holy endeavors. Its simplicity and unaffectedness, its directness of purpose, the practical good sense of its rules and suggestions, its genuine humility and sym pathy, its condescension to human weakness yet with loyalty to divine righteousness, its absolute fidelity to truth and duty, its heavenly wisdom, and clear vision, are embodied in that quality of English prose which we love and admire but can no longer write or speak.
