The Essential Tincture of Scripture

I SHOULD like to see a huge pile of all the books, good and bad, that were ever written, prayer books and sermons, and hymn books, and all, smoking like Sodom of old, if the reading of these books keeps you away from the reading of the Bible; for a ton weight of human literature is not worth an ounce of Scripture: one single drop of the essential tincture of the Word of God is better than a sea full of our commentings and sermonizings, and the like.—Spurgeon.
