The life and funeral sermon of the Reverend Mr. Thomas Brand Dr. Samuel Annesley

VII. But, O the Light dispersed throughout this Land, (Yea Life conveyed) by his Instructive Hand; Which rightly found what here he had to do; Writings, too many were; Readers too few: There he'd Cull out the Best; Here all invite On Free-cost; or for Colour ask their Mite, Who Starving, yet his Treat accepted not,¹ Till they might seem, at least; to Pay their shot. Spread thus the Sacred Writ more common grew; Yet, better known, was held more Sacred too. None Bought more Truth, or Weightier than he; None would less Sell, or Give it out more Free. The Happy Scheme, that Great Assembly drew,² By England's public Doctrine wouched True, By Ireland's Learned Primate voted best, With Cumber's for the Temple Service dressed, Sent out by Thousands lodged every where, Freely to Teach God's Knowledge, and his Fear.
