To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Yea, it is fitted to be carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and the cunning craftiness whereby they lie in wait to deceive. A superficial, partial course of preaching, on its first introduction into a community, not preoccupied by sounder views, will usually attract the most hearers. Even Christ's preaching sent some away complaining, "These are hard sayings, who can hear them." And if Christ had kept back some offensive points, he might have retained some hearers wh...ich he lost. Yet such preaching as that of Christ and his apostles, will ever be found to have been most honored of God, in attracting a ransomed world around the cross. The great question for the preacher to settle, is not what will raise the broadest cloud of dust for the moment, but what will best reach the heart and fit it for heaven ? a heaven built on the foundation of those truths, which are a stumbling block to the Jew and foolishness to the Greek — not what will make the tallest edifice of wood, hay and stubble, but what will rear the broadest temple of lively stones, built up a spiritual house?
