Luther, though unwell, was cnabb d lo jireach, with much energy, from the words, "(Jo ye into all the world, and preach the gosjud to every creature.'" Myconius wrote lo a friend, lhat he had often heard Luther preach, but on this occasion, he seemed nol so much lo speak as lo thunder fordi the name of l.'hns! from heaven itself. After Bueer's sermon, he supped with Luther, who, m the course of conversation, commended lhe discourse of his gucsl ; but added that he himself was a better jneaeli. r. ISucer received this ajijiaienlly rude reinaik with Ins accustomed mildui'ss, and readily declned his assent.

In whellmg, you luin the thing w belted on lh:s side and that side, and edien rcjieat the strokes; so in teaching of children, t iie mmd is affected nol by the violence, but by the lieniieticy ol lhe impression. The minds of clnldien, like nai-low-necked bottles, must be filled slowly, diop by dioj). The young must be driven with piiieme as they can go, (alluding to (ieu. .xxxui. 1 !.) f'pcci d cue must be taken to make things plain unto them, condescending to their caji.iciiics, and l.spmg to lliein in their own language, conveying iiisiiuciioii by sensible or olherw.se alleclmg objects, ami making it, as much as can be, not a t isiv or hiiilneii, but i.'.i'-y mill pleasant. Ch.ldreu are half taught when ihey are reconciled lo instruction.
