First Line: When willis of ephraim heard rochester preach
Last Line: We preach very sadly, if he preaches well.
Subject(s): Physicians; Prayer; Sermons; Doctors


WHEN Willis of Ephraim heard Rochester preach,
Thus Bentley said to him, I pr'ythee, dear brother,
How lik'st thou this sermon? 'Tis out of my reach.
His is one way, said Willis, and ours is another:
I care not for carping; but this I can tell,
We preach very sadly, if he preaches well.
