To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
That bodies should be lent us, while they can afford us pleasure, assist us in acquiring knowledge, or doing good to our fellow creatures, is a kind and benevolent act of God. When they become unfit for these purposes, and afford us pain instead of pleasure, instead of an aid, become an in- cumbrance, and answer none of the intentions for which they were given, it is equally kind and be- nevolent that a way is provided by which we may get rid of them. Death is that way." Cannot every child of G...od, then, say with holy Job — " I would not live alway ?" As we read the history of those who lived before the flood, what Christian is there that envies them their long period of proba- tion ? We soon lose our relish of earthly joys; — we soon pass beyond the bounds of our usefulness : and why should we desire to dwell forever in this land where we are exposed to temptation and many spiritual foes; where the storms of life buffet us; 14 and where toil, pain, disappointment and sorrow are the inevitable lot of all ?
