At what an expense of Time and Labour, and (I may add) of mony too, what with Tutorage, and Books, and other Instruments of Learning, in Country Schools, and Universities, are we fain to get knowledge like Children weaned from the milk, (to use the phrase of the Prophet Esay,) by taking line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little, and keeping our Studies for this little, till we look paler than our Lamps? whilst these simple Country Folkes, who knew no more just now than their Mother Tongue, are on a suddain started up so many orderly Babels. Our Blessed Saviour sent them to School, (Act. 1. 4.) The Holy Ghost became their Teacher, (in the words of my Text.) And of this Teacher they were so full, that they were perfect in their Lesson before they learnt it. |
