An Ample Apology
A CLERGYMAN at Cambridge preached a sermon which one of his auditors
commended. Yes, said the gentleman to whom it was mentioned, it was a
good sermon, but he stole it. This was repeated to the preacher, who
resented it, and called on the gentleman to retract. I will, replied
the aggressor. I said you had stolen the sermon. I find I was wrong,
for on referring to the book whence I thought it was taken, I found it
there.
