To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" We have used all other means, and behold we are frustrate — we 47 will teach you not to resent, not to speak high swelling words of carnal indignation, but to bear and forbear, and pray, and entreat, and wait. ! what a calm, in the midst of all — " having compassion one of another, " to entreat and to wait. And for love sake, bridle your tongues — " refrain your tongues from evil, and your lips that they speak no guile. " You shall often lament speaking much : never shall you be sorry for hol...ding your tongue. Speaking much, and speaking hastily, and rashly, and harshly, and censoriously, and sarcas- tically, and scoffingly, and irreverently — that you shall lament often ; but, silence — gentle, forbearing, fearing, loving, silence — never. have laboured in vain. In disputations, whether it be because men are ashamed to acknowledge their errors before many wit- nesses, or because extemporality doth exclude mature and ripe advice, without which the truth cannot soundly and thoroughly be demonstrated, or because the fervour of contention doth so disturb men's understanding that they cannot sincerely and effectually judge : in books and sermons^ whether it be because we do speak and write with too little advice, or because you do hear and read with too much prejudice : in all human means which have hitherto been used to procure ])eace : whether it be because our dealings have been too feeble, or the minds of men with whom we have dealt too implacable, or whatsoever the cause or causes have been : forasmuch as we see that as yet we fail in our desires, yea, the ways which we take to be most likely to make peace, do but move strife.
