Excerpt from The Tree Beside the Waters: A Sermon Preached in the Chapel of St. Mary's College, Oscott, on Friday, November 11, 1859, at the Funeral of the Right Rev. Henry Weedall
And, in like manner, when we turn to that por tion of the sacred volume which more than any other both reveals and supports the hidden life of the servants of God in every age, - I mean the Psalter, - we find, prefixed to the collection, the Psalm from which my text is taken, in which the obedient and just man is set before us under the selfsame image; under the image of some choice Specimen of the vegetable world, that innocent por tion of the divine handiwork which is deformed by no fierce passions, which has no will and pursues no end of its own, and which seems created only to please the eye of man, and to be his food, medicine, and refreshment.
