Exercise yourself unto godliness is. It's made me think that he was looking for loudness vs genuine spirituality. That's sad.

If you look at Wesley and Edwards, they didn't speak loudly. But their effect was profound. Whitefield, on the other hand, was a master showman and orator. He could speak to 20,000 in the open air, with no microphone or speakers.
But Wesley and Edwards were quiet, and very reserved. But their words had force. But in Lee's definition neither one exercised their human spirit while speaking. Go figure.
By the way, I never did figure out which one of them had the ministry of the age, and which was supposed to get in line and know their place. Funny how that never was an issue with them. I guess they never saw the high peak revelation of God'd Deputy.
