Overview

Excerpt from Sermons For the sake of this whole class of readers, for they are of different capacities, different kinds, and get into this way from different occasions, I have often wished, that it had been the custom to lay before people no thing in matters of argument but premises, and leave them to draw conclusions themselves; which, though it could not be done in all cases, might in many. The great number of books and papers of amuse ment, which, of one kind or another, daily come in one's way, have in part occasioned, and most perfectly fall in with and humour, this idle way of reading and considering things. By this means, time even in soli tude is happily got rid of, without the pain of atten tion neither is any part of it more put to the account of idleness, one can scarce forbear saying, is spent with less thought, than great part of that which is spent in reading.
