Quoter

Irenaeus is described by Dr. Tregelles 'as a close and careful quoter in general from the New Testament' [Endnote 49:2].

Every man is, according to Mr. Hunt, a dull potato-eating blockhead--of no greater value to God or man than any ox or dray-horse--who is not an admirer of Voltaire's romans, a worshipper of Lord Holland and Mr. Haydon and a quoter of John Buncle and Chaucer's Flower and Leaf.

Even before he began attending services at Harmony Community Baptist--just a few doors down South Millard from the house where he and Eula lived for decades--he'd been a "very good quoter of the Bible," Eula says, and in short order he became a deacon.
