Reason 3 3 Because Ministers preach not so plainly as John did, either in matter, method, or manner of expression. 1 Cor. 14. part of the 5 verse,—Greater is he that prophesieth then he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the Church may receive edifying. Many Preachers are like Heraclitus, who was called the dark Doctor, they affect sublime notions, obscure expressions, uncouth phrases, not making difficult truths plain, but plain truths difficult. They darken 1counsel by words without knowledge, Job 38. 2.
