deserves silencing. A good preacher but a bad liver is like a physician that has the plague; though his advise and receipts which he gives may be good, yet his plague infects the patient: so though ministers may have good words, and give good receipts in the pulpit, yet the plague of their lives infects their people. If you find Hophni and Phinehas among the sons of Levi, whose unholy carriage make the offering of God to be abhorred, you will save God a labor in ejecting them. HD pp. 113-14 Preaching
