Some Helvetia Ministers who endeavoured to have practised my Reformed Pastor, in personal conference, told me, That there the common people go customarily, almost every day in the week, to a Sermon, without Ceremonies or Liturgies (usually) with a Bible in their hands, and continue as ignorant as those here that have no preaching.
