The people’s neglect of the prophets has made the prophets neglect prophesying… the drone never studies to preach. The second thing that makes prophets and prophesying despised is the lewdness and negligence of them that are able to do well in their ministry, yet do the contrary… by their slubbering of the Word, for lack of study and meditation… So the people stay at home, and say they know as much as the preacher can teach them.
—Henry Smith “The Benefit of Contentation”
