On plain preaching

Not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit, and of Power [1 Corinthians 2:4]. Use sound words that cannot be condemned. Rhetorical flashes are like painted glass in a window, that makes a great show, but darkens the light; ... The Prophets and Apostles generally spoke in the vulgar and common languages which the ordinary people understood: They did not only speak to the understanding of a King upon the throne, but to the understanding of the meanest subject.
