Episcopalians, citing book and page for them, I shall lose the
cause." (Curate Calder Whipt, p. 11.)--In such a contest as is here
proposed, religion must suffer, and truth be sacrificed. Lord
Woodhouselee therefore, does not hesitate to pronounce both the
Presbyterian Eloquence Displayed, and the Answer to it, to be

54 "Their ministers generally brought then about them on the Sunday
nights where the sermons were talked over, and every one women as
well as men, were desired to speak their sense and their experience,
and by these means they had a comprehension of matters of religion,
greater than I have seen among people of that sort anywhere. The
preachers went all in one track, of raising observations on points
of doctrine out of their text, and proving these by reasons, and
then of applying those, and shewing the use that was to be made of
such a point of doctrine, both for instruction and terror, for
exhortation and comfort, for trial of themselves upon it, and for
furnishing them with proper directions and helps, and this was so
methodical that the people grew to follow a sermon quite through
every branch of it." Barnet's History of his own Times vol. i. p. 2.
