To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His desire to depart was a desire to be immediately with Christ ; and if that desire were not to be gratified at the hour of death, he would have preferred to remain. But so confi- dent was he that it would be gratified, that he declared that for him — that is, so far as he was personally concerned — it would be better hy far to depart. His language is very strong, and it signifies that to depart would be better for him beyond all expression. Though he loved the souls of men, and was willing to... spend and be spent for the cause which he served, yet his warmest affections were above, and thither he was drawn with an irrepressible ardor of desire, — a desire so strong that he speaks of himself as borne away with the intensity of it, like a ship whose sails are unfurled to the breeze, and which seems struggling and impatient to be loosed from its moorings. The tenderest ties still bound him to the earth ; but his personal preference, beyond all comparison, was to "loose cable and be with Christ." The same feelings in kind belong appropriately to every dying believer.
