It would be easy to cite fifty passages from Archbishop Leighton's works in direct contradiction to the sentence in question which he had learnt in the schools when a lad, and afterwards had heard and met with so often that he was not aware that he had never sifted its real purport. This eighth Sermon is another most admirable discourse. Ib. Serm. IX. p. 12. Ib.
The style too is in many places below Leighton's ordinary style in some places even turbid, operose, and catechrestic; for example, "to trample on smilings with one foot and on frownings with the other." Ib. p. 77. Serm. Leighton, I presume, was acquainted with the Hebrew Language, but he does not appear to have studied it much.
How often have I found reason to regret, that Leighton had not clearly made out to himself the diversity of reason and the understanding! Ib. Serm. XV. p. 196.
A narrow enthralled heart, fettered with the love of lower things, and cleaving to some particular sins, or but some one, and that secret, may keep foot a while in the way of God's commandments, in some steps of them; but it must give up quickly, is not able to run on to the end of the goal. Ib. Serm. XVI. p. 204. Know you not that the redeemed of Christ and He are one?
He sees with most appalling distinctness all our sins, all the windings and recesses of evil within us; yet it is our only comfort to know this, and to trust Him for help against ourselves. Vol. I. Serm.
And for this very reason, while it is neither pious nor thankful to explain away the words which convey it, while it is a duty to use them, not less a duty is it to use them humbly, diffidently, and teachably, with the thought of God before us, and of our own nothingness." Vol. III. Serm.
His observation on the 'heart', as used in the Old Testament, shews that he did not know that the ancient Hebrews supposed the heart to be the seat of intellect, and therefore used it exactly as we use the head. Ib. p. 104. Serm. This seventh Sermon is admirable throughout, Leighton throughout. Ib. p. 107. Serm.
