His press in a hollow tree."

From this extract it should seem that Wither not only composed the poem at

"_Preached as a dying Man to dying Men_" (Vol. i., p. 415.; Vol. ii., p.
28.).--Some time ago there appeared in this series (Vol. i., p. 415.) a
question respecting a pulpit-phrase which has occasionally been used by
preachers, delivering their messages as "dying men to dying men." This was

Baxter, who, in one of his latest works, speaking of his ministerial
exercises, says,--

"I preach'd as never sure to preach again,
And as a dying man to dying men."

The passage occurs in one of his "Poetical Fragments," entitled "Love

Heart; Sorrowing, Rejoicing, Fearing, Hoping, Dying, Living: published for
