“After prayer this morning, I began and read through, in _Greek_ and _Latin_ the 2d. Epistle to _Timothy_, and found much instruction, and reproof for my soul. O what a man ought a minister to be! How holy, and how wise! What courage, zeal, patience and temperance, are necessary for him in an especial manner in order to give account of himself and others to God with joy.” “Preaching on _1 John iv. 18._ My mind was more clearly enlightened than ever, to see that _perfect love is Christian perfection_. By simple, but powerful faith, I desire to attain it; and to live and grow in this love, till my spirit returns to God.” With such desires, and in such meditations as these did he spend his days and nights, longing and sighing for the sight of God continually; and in his prayers, the violence of his affections, did not a little increase the weakness of his body.
