Excerpt from Helps to Composition, or Six Hundred Skeletons of Sermons, Vol. 1: Several Being the Substance of Sermons Preached Before the University

No mrmon should want) unity and perspicuity throughout. But being very solicitous that nothing should be omitted which could contribute to the perfection and usefulness of that invaluably Essay, he has made the attempt: with what success he leaves to a candid public to determine. He begs the reader, however, to take notice, that the introducing of all the topics into one discourse is a thing by no means to be imitated. It is done here only with an intention to set in a clear light the nature and use of those topics. In fact, a person who would write a judicious discourse, must not only not undertake to bring in every tepic, but he must not fetter himself by an endeavour to illustrate any topic. He must consult the nature Of the text or subject he is discussing, and must follow whither soever that may lead him. The mind filled with any subject, will naturall suggest such topics as are most cal culated to reflect lig t upon it: whereas a regard to this or that particular topic will be very likely to render the discourse incoherent and confused.
