  4。　　However　Church　Music　may　raise　the　devotional　feelings；　these
  bring　a　man　not　one　iota　nearer　to　Christ；　neither　is　it　acceptable

  II。Samuel　Butler's　Parody
  1。　　Beware！　　Beware！　　Beware！　　The　enemy　sowed　tracts　in　the　night；
  and　the　righteous　men　tremble。
  2。　　There　are　only　10　good　men　in　John's；　I　am　one；　reader；
  calculate　your　chance　of　salvation。
  3。　　The　genuine　recipe　for　the　leaven　of　the　Pharisees　is　still
  extant；　and　runs　as　follows：　Self…deceit　0。33　＋　want　of　charity
  0。5　＋　outward　show　0。33；　humbug　infinity；　insert　Sim　or　not　as
  required。　　Reader；　let　each　one　who　would　seem　to　be　righteous　take
  unto　himself　this　leaven。
  4。　　〃The　University　Church　is　a　place　too　much　neglected　by　the
  young　men　up　here。〃　　Thus　said　the　learned　Selwyn；　｛5｝　and　he　said
  well。　　How　far　better　would　it　be　if　each　man's　own　heart　was　a
  little　University　Church；　the　pericardium　a　little　University
  churchyard；　wherein　are　buried　the　lust　of　the　flesh；　the　pomps　and
  vanities　of　this　wicked　world；　the　veins　and　arteries；　little
  clergymen　and　bishops　ministering　therein；　and　the　blood　a　stream　of
  soberness；　temperance　and　chastity　perpetually　flowing　into　it。
  5。　　The　deluge　went　before；　misery　followed　after；　in　the　middle
  came　a　Puseyite　playing　upon　an　organ。　　Reader；　flee　from　him；　for
  he　playeth　his　own　soul　to　damnation。
  6。　　Church　music　is　as　the　whore　of　Babylon；　or　the　ramping　lion　who
  sought　whom　he　might　devour；　music　in　a　church　cannot　be　good；　when
  St。　Paul　bade　those　who　were　merry　to　sing　psalms。　　Music　is　but
  tinkling　brass；　and　sounding　cymbals；　which　is　what　St。　Paul　says　he
  should　himself　be；　were　he　without　charity；　he　evidently　then　did
  not　consider　music　desirable。
  7。　　The　most　truly　religious　and　only　thoroughly　good　man　in
  Cambridge　is　Clayton；　｛6｝　of　Cams。
  8。　　〃Charity　is　but　the　compassion　that　we　feel　for　our　own　vices
  when　we　perceive　their　hatefulness　in　other　people。〃　　Charity；　then；
  is　but　another　name　for　selfishness；　and　must　be　eschewed
  accordingly。
  9。　　A　great　French　king　was　walking　one　day　with　the　late　Mr。　B。；
  when　the　king　dropped　his　umbrella。　　Mr。　B。　instantly　stooped　down
  and　picked　it　up。　　The　king　said　in　a　very　sweet　tone；　〃Thank　you。〃
  10。　　The　Cam　is　the　river　Jordan。　　An　unthinking　mind　may　consider
  this　a　startling　announcement。　　Let　such　an　one　pray　for　grace　to
  read　the　mystery　aright。
  11。　　When　I've　lost　a　button　off　my　trousers　I　go　to　the　tailors'
  and　get　a　new　one　sewn　on。
  12。　　Faith　and　Works　were　walking　one　day　on　the　road　to　Zion；　when
  Works　turned　into　a　public…house；　and　said　he　would　not　go　any
  further；　at　the　same　time　telling　Faith　to　go　on　by　himself；　and
  saying　that　〃he　should　be　only　a　drag　upon　him。〃　　Faith　accordingly
  left　Works　in　the　ale…house；　and　went　on。　　He　had　not　gone　far
  before　he　began　to　feel　faint；　and　thought　he　had　better　turn　back
  and　wait　for　Works。　　He　suited　the　action　to　the　word；　and　finding
  Works　in　an　advanced　state　of　beer；　fell　to；　and　even　surpassed　that
  worthy　in　his　potations。　　They　then　set　to　work　and　fought　lustily；
  and　would　have　done　each　other　a　mortal　injury　had　not　a　Policeman
  providentially　arrived；　and　walked　them　off　to　the　station…house。
  As　it　was　they　were　fined　Five　Shillings　each；　and　it　was　a　long
  time　before　they　fully　recovered。
  13。　　What　can　10　fools　do　among　300　sinners？　　They　can　do　much　harm；
  and　had　far　better　let　the　sinners　seek　peace　their　own　way　in　the
  wilderness　than　ram　it　down　their　throats　during　the　night。
  14。　　Barnwell　is　a　place　near　Cambridge。　　It　is　one　of　the　descents
  into　the　infernal　regions；　nay；　the　infernal　regions　have　there
  ascended　to　the　upper　earth；　and　are　rampant。　　He　that　goeth　by　it
  shall　be　scorched；　but　he　that　seeketh　it　knowingly　shall　be
  devoured　in　the　twinkling　of　an　eye；　and　become　withered　as　the
  grass　at　noonday。
  15。　　Young　men　do　not　seem　to　consider　that　houses　were　made　to　pray
  in；　as　well　as　to　eat　and　to　drink　in。　　Spiritual　food　is　much　more
  easily　procured　and　far　cheaper　than　bodily　nutriment；　that；
  perhaps；　is　the　reason　why　many　overlook　it。
  16。　　When　we　were　children　our　nurses　used　to　say；　〃Rock…a…bye　baby
  on　the　tree　top；　when　the　bough　bends　the　cradle　will　rock。〃　　Do　the
  nurses　intend　the　wind　to　represent　temptation　and　the　storm　of
  life；　the　tree…top　ambition；　and　the　cradle　the　body　of　the　child　in
  which　the　soul　traverses　life's　ocean？　　I　cannot　doubt　all　this
  passes　through　the　nurses'　minds。　　Again；　when　they　say；　〃Little　Bo…
  peep　has　lost　her　sheep　and　doesn't　know　where　to　find　them；　let
  them　alone　and　they'll　come　home　with　their　tails　all　right　behind
  them；〃　is　Little　Bo…peep　intended　for　mother　Church？　　Are　the　sheep
  our　erring　selves；　and　our　subsequent　return　to　the　fold？　　No　doubt
  of　it。
  17。　　A　child　will　often　eat　of　itself　what　no　compulsion　can　induce
  it　to　touch。　　Men　are　disgusted　with　religion　if　it　is　placed　before
  them　at　unseasonable　times；　in　unseasonable　places；　and　clothed　in　a
  most　unseemly　dress。　　Let　them　alone；　and　many　will　perhaps　seek　it
  for　themselves；　whom　the　world　suspects　not。　　A　whited　sepulchre　is
  a　very　picturesque　object；　and　I　like　it　immensely；　and　I　like　a　Sim
  too。　　But　the　whited　sepulchre　is　an　acknowledged　humbug　and　most　of
  the　Sims　are　not；　in　my　opinion；　very　far　different。
