To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Many habitually do this, and only this, without a thought of giving heed to the truths proclaimed; and do this, not only without self-reproach but rather with com- placency that they are taking an interest in religious things, and that in respect to preaching they are " doing God service, " and all the service that is therein required. And is this all our dut\' in regard to God's appointed means for our salvation — to imitate the folly of a patient, diseased nigh unto death, who when the physic...ian announces to him the only remedy for his case, either refuses to hear, or hears only to criticize the manner of the announcement ? Is this all our duty, to imitate the folly of prisoners under grievous bondage, to whom a messenger of author- ity comes and opening their prison doors proclaims to them a pardon, and they begin to talk to one another about the herald's voice, and style, and emphasis, and gestures, and perhaps find fault that he read to them their pardon when he might have conimittcd it to nicinor\' and recited it, or pcradvcn- turc complain that sonic other messenger had not been sent \\-hose manner would have been more interesting and impressive, who would ha\e enter- tained them with a more thrilling description of their wretchedness, or would have depicted more vividly the blessedness of that freedom to which they were in\-ited — and then turn themselves over in their chains and give no further heed to the message of pardon ?
