Those that are all in exhortation, no whit in doctrine, are like to them that snuff the candle but pour not in oil. Again, those that are all in doctrine, nothing in exhortation, drown the wick in oil but light it not, making it fit for use if it had fire put to it, but, as it is, rather capable of good than profitable in present. Doctrine without exhortation makes men all brain, no heart; exhortation without doctrine makes the heart full, leaves the brain empty. Both together make a man. One makes a man wise, the other good. One serves that we may know our duty; the other, that we may perform it. I will labor in both, but I know not in whether more. Men cannot practice unless they know; and they know in vain if they practice not.
