CHAPTER XXIII--THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH OF MANSOUL, AND MR
20/22

Your minister may be an anointed bishop, he may be a gowned and hooded doctor, he may be a king's chaplain, he may be the minister of the largest and the richest and the most learned parish in the city, but, unless he strikes terror and pain into your conscience every Sabbath, unless he makes you tremble every Sabbath under the eye and the hand of God, he is no true minister to you.

As Goodwin says, he is a wooden cannon.

As Leighton says, he is a mountebank for a minister.
(2) The second lesson is to all those who are politically enfranchised, and who hold a vote for a member of Parliament.

Now, crowds of candidates and their canvassers will before long be at your door besieging it and begging you for your vote for or against an Established church.

Well, before Parliament is dissolved, and the canvass commences, look you well into your own heart and ask yourself whether or no the Church of Christ has yet been established there.
