Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Expository Works, Vol. 2 of 2: With Other Remains, (Some of Which Were Never Before Printed)
There 18 an imitation of men that 1s 1n1pious and wicked, taking the copy of their fins again, an imi tat1on, that, though not fo grofsly evil, yet is poor and fervile, being 1n mean things, yea fometimes defcend ing to imitate the very imperfeetions of others, as fancymg fome comelinefs 111 them, as fome of Bafil's fcholars that imitated his ?ow fpeaking, which he had a little 111 the extreme, and could not help. But this is always laudable, and worthy of the hef't minds, to be imitatorr of that wbieb it good, wherefover they find it. For that fiays not in any man' s perfon, as the ultimate pattern, but arifes to the highefi grace, being man's nearefi likenefs to God, his image and 1efemblance; and lo, followmg the example of the faints in bolinefs, we look higher than them, and confider them as receivers, but God as the firf't owner and difpenfer of grace, bearing his fiamp and fuper fcription, and belonging peculiarly to him, in what hand loever it be found, as carrying the 'mark of no other owner, but his only.
