Richard Baxter in The Reformed Pastor on irreverent preaching that seeks to entertain:

Of all preaching in the world, (that speaks not stark lies) I hate that preaching which tends to make the hearers laugh, or to move their minds with tickling levity, and affect them as stage-plays used to do, instead of affecting them with a holy reverence of the name of God.

Pages 119-120.
