To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In studying the evidences of the truth of re- vealed rehgion, whether they are examined solely for our own satisfaction, or to enable us to give light to others, it is very useful to bear con- stantly in mind, that every particular argument and branch of this evidence, however clear and convincing it may be in itself, still belongs to a vast system of truths, the several parts of which are wonderfully fitted, in different ways, to the various understandings, characters, and situa- tions of thos...e to whom this universal dispensa- tion is offered. Thus is held out to every in- quirer — as well to the scholar who can make the whole of human learning tributary to his investiga- tions, as to the unlettered seeker after truth, who draws all his knowledge from his own heait and the sense of his own wants — some argument, which, if rightly received, may be sufficient to satisfy his reason, to aw^aken his conscience, or to 1 2 engage his afiections ; while the whole of this proof taken together forms a vast and grand chain of moral demonstration, rimning through every age of the world, embracing at once all that we know of our race, its history, and desti- nies ; and all that we know concerning ourselves, our own nature, our duties, our weakness, and our dangers.
