I marvel how I can preach, slightly and coldly, how I can let men alone in their sins and that I do not go to them and beseech them for the Lord's sake to repent, however they take it and whatever pains and trouble it should cost me. I seldom come out of the pulpit but my conscience smiteth me that I have been no more serious and fervent. It accuseth me not so much for want of human ornaments or elegance, nor for letting fall an uncomely word; but it asketh me: "How could'st thou speak of life and death with such a heart? Should'st thou not weep over such a people, and should not thy tears interrupt thy words? Should'st not thou cry aloud and show them their transgressions and entreat and beseech them as for life and death? Richard Baxter, The Reformed Pastor
