To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His very first proceeding was to substitute the gospel of St. Matthew, as the text-book of his discourses, for the scraps of Scripture exclusively treated by the papal preachers; and he pursued this purpose by next illustrating the Acts of the Apostles, and the epistles of Paul and Peter. He considered the doctrine of justification by faith as the corner-stone of Christianit}^, and he strove to draw away his hearers from the gross observances of a pharisaical church to a more spiritual concepti...on of the covenant of their redemption. He assailed, with the power of a severe eloquence, every form of vice and immorality. The most frequent subjects of his denunciations were hypo- crisy and superstition ; but he spared neither luxury nor idleness, nor intemperance, nor any description of de- bauchery; and he enforced his admonitions, not only with courage and learning far surpassing those of any contemporary compatriot, but with the still stronger recommendation of a high and unsullied reputation.
