For neither were we at any time found using words of flattery, as you know, nor a cloak of covetousness (God is witness),
But I should speak to the thousands who have no parishes, but who have their chapels, their congregations, pew and seat rents, c., c. Is it for the sake of these that ye have entered or continue in the Gospel ministry? Is God witness that, in all these things, ye have no cloak of covetousness? Happy is the man who can say so, whether he has the provision which the law of the land allows him, or whether he lives on the free-will offerings of the people.
