To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But God, we must remember, can effect his purposes, and preserve the just without a miracle. The hearts of men are in liis hand. The elements of nature obey his word. He has winds to scatter the proudest fleet, diseases to prostrate the strongest army. Consider how many events must conspire, how many secret springs must act in concert, to accomplish the purposes of the statesman* or the plans of the warrior. How often have the best concerted schemes been thwarted, the most menacing preparations... been defeated, the proud boast of anticipate ed victory been put to shame, by what we call casualty, 4 V / by a slight and accidental want of concert, by the error of a chief, or by neglect in subordinate agents. Let God determine the defeat of an enemy and we need not fear that means will be wanting. He sends terror, or blindness, or mad presumption into the minds of leaders. Heaven, earth, and sea, are arrayed to oppose their pro- gress. An unconquerable spirit is breathed into the in- vaded ; and the dreaded foe seeks his safety in dishon- ourable flight.
