BISHOP KEN. ABBI JOSE BAR JEHUDAH oncegave this decision :—cc He that learnethof young men, is like a man that eatethunripe grapes, or that drinketh wine outof the wine-press; but he that learneth of the ancient,is like a man that eateth ripe grapes, and drinkethwine that is old. Such, at first, was the spirit of thecomparisons drawn between the old and the youngminister, by many a little group of critics that stoodabout in the churchyard after service ; but graduallysuch murmurs were hushed, and awe-struck crowdswalked home in I36 ALLEINE IN THE SABBATH OF HIS LIFE. cc This young Timothy was, at his first entranceon his ministry, despised for his youth, by thosewho after with shame confessed their errour, anddeplored their rashness, resolving after for his sakeno more to judge according to appearance, but tohonour for their work, and intrinsick worth, thosewhom age hath not made venerable.* His composition was slovenly. He neverstudied the art of casting thought into form ; neveruttered language that was stately, periodic, or deli-cately musical; and never, unless by mere chance,used words lit up with secondary or imaginativemeanings ; yet we should always remember, whenreading sermons preached by him and his brethrento Puritan congregations, that many things in thematter which are to us truisms, were to them start-ling truths ; and that much of the style whichmay seem to us tiresome and common, was not feltto be so then.
