To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thus Cato surpassed Cicero when he spoke in council, though his language was simple and unadorned. A knowledge of words or grammar be- comes easier when the subject in hand is understood, as Horace also teaches. But when a knowledge of the subject is wanting, then a knowledge of words is useless. I do not wish to be understood as rejecting grammar, which is necessary; but this I say: if the subject is not studied along with the grammar, one will never become a good teacher. For as some one has ...said, the teacher's or preacher's discourse should be born, not in his mouth, but in his heart." Luther approved of rhetoric and dialectic, an old name for the practical part of logic. In both he was himself a master, as is abundantly evident from his writings. "Dialectic instructs," he says, "and rhetoric moves; the former appeals to the understanding, the latter to the will." But logic can not supply knowl- edge, it only shows us how to use it. " It does not give us the power to speak of all subjects, but is simply an instrument, by which we can speak cor- rectly and methodically of what we already know and understand." Simple language is best.
