To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I am very sorry that with all his excellence he is unreasonably prejudiced against the Evangelicals. Judging of them by some vulgar emissaries, he suspects that their mode of enforcing certain doctrines leads to Antinomianism. He has met with some amongst the lower orders who had misunderstood their opinions, and persisting that they have been born again, and under grace, do not scruple to get drunk and break God's law in many instances. He maintains that whilst those of the party who have been... blessed with a superior education, endeavour to shew their faith by its fruits, the humble peasant who has lent an ear to their doctrine imagines that a barren belief secures his entrance into heaven. You may be sure that I combat all these opinions, which proceed from his ignorance of the religious world, but he has not been accustomed to argue, and only mildly repeats that much mischief is done by their interference in parishes. I do not extend the good opinion I entertained for Richard to a certain rubicund clergyman who dined here the other day, who told good stories against the saints, and interrupted whatever I said by a joke ; he sneered at Bible Societies, and talked of orthodoxy until I longed to ask him whether orthodoxy meant playing at cards, and attending balls and plays, but I did not dare through fear of my uncle.
