what should a preacher be?

this is a quote about the baptist's view in the early 1800s of
what a preacher should be...
"It is of primary importance that the preacher should be clothed with the garment of salvation; that he should be filled with a sense of the immense worth of the truth, the guilt, depravity and danger man is in; the unsearchable love of Christ in the bloody purchase, and His ability and willingness to save redeemed penitents. Without this robe, he will preach a distant Jesus, by an unfelt gospel, and with an unhallowed tongue."
Revival and Revivalism - Ian Murray, p. 303
