English term or phrase: leaping at a bound (v. frase)
Sempre il libro che ha per oggetto la biografia di un predicatore. Parlando di lui qualcuno ha detto: He was a marvellous example of a preacher *leaping at a bound,* full grown into the pulpit.

Explanation:
...è che quel signore a avuto un cambio di vita repentino, che prima faceva altro e poi in un attimo è passato a fare il predicatore. Non so il tuo contesto può confermare o meno questa ipotesi.
