A Minister’s Study
2009 November 16
“Three great books which a minister ought chiefly to study, to make him wise and prudent, are the Holy Word, his own Heart, and his own People.”
From George Trosse, The Pastor’s Care and Dignity, and The People’s Duty: A Sermon preach’d at the Assembly of Ministers, at Taunton, 7th September, 1692 (London, 1693), page 36.
Great quote! I seem to remember Thomas Brooks saying something similar in his Precious Remedies against Satan’s Devices. I wonder if Trosse was reading him.
