We know, a kind of Natural Enthusiasm is required in Poets, which they term a Spirit of Poetry; and in Oratory, the Great Masters of it speak of an instinct, and happy impulse of Nature; and this, in Divine Eloquence, is Real Devotion. And the Answer of a Learned Man was not amiss, who being desired to instruct one how he might become an excellent Christian Orator, replied, Maxime ames Christum. For how shall he inflame others with the Love of God, who has not God in all Thoughts? 'Twill be in vain to counterfeit Devotion where 'tis not. Nemo potest personam diu ferre. |
