SECULAR. LITERATURN AND TRH OLD DIVINES.-104
Sharp, a popular preacher and a very pious man, vih°
flourished at the period of the Revolution, said the Bible
and Shakapeare made him Archbislop of York, and he
recommended the same course of reading to his clergy.
Speaker Onslow, who relates the circumstance, enforces
the advice, asserting that the wonderful. knnowalaeaddget.boaf

sositom of the advantages to be derived by the Christian
orator from the study of the profane writers, that he
was accustomed to sleep with Ari-tophanes under hie
pillow. Bishop Burnet endeavoured to impress upon his
clerical brethren the immense benefit that they would
reap from a minute acquaintance with the Greek and
Roman authors, who he maintained had a force both of
thought and expression that later ages had not been able
to imitate. He went further, and recommended tbq, peru•
sal of several of the pagan classics for the power of the.
moral instruction they conveyed. Tully's "Offices,"
with all his philosophical writings, and especially his "Con;
solation," would give, he said, the mind "a noble set.
Horace, Juvenal, and Persius, " would contribute won-
derfully to promote a detestation of vice," and the second
satire of the last of these poets " might well pace for one
of the be.t lectures in divinity." Hisrociss upon the
verses of Pythagoras, Plutarch's Lives, and above all
Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius, could "not be read too
often, nor repassed too frequently in the thoughts."
Such were the sentiments of a prelate full of the ardour
of Christianity, and eager to revive the zeal and doctrines
of the apostolic age. In this school of ancient as well es
modern literature our eminent divines, with hardly sus
exception„bave been nurtured, and if the training of the
twig is to be judged by the vigour of the tree, we must
never hope to improve upon the methods which formed
our Hookers, Taylors, and BArrowe.— Quarterly Review.
