grave rule of an ancient Bishop, concerning those who were admitted to the learning of the four Gospels, will apply in its degree to the readers of all human books also, in proportion as those books reflect or transmit the true meaning and spirit of the Gospels.

"Inasmuch as the Lord hath declared that to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more; more exceedingly abundant ought their fear and seriousness to be: as the Apostle teaches, saying, We then as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.' this cometh to pass, if we obey the Lord when He tells us, If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.""
