To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And therefore it is, that God most frequently intrusteth this precious talent with his own peculiar people : " You only have I known of all the families of the earth ; therefore will I punish you for your iniquities. " Those that God knows the best, with them will he intrust the most, if not of other talents, yet be sure of that, which is so useful and necessary to brinir us to the knowledge of ourselves and our Creator, and without which we should be apt to forget both. It is this that shows u...s the folly and pride of presumption, as well as the vanity and emptiness of all worldly enjoyment; and deters us from incensing 262 and provoking Him from whom all our happiness as well as our afflictions flow. Let, therefore, what crosses or calamities soever befall me, I am still re- solved to bear them all, not only with a patient re- signation to the divine will, but even to comfort and rejoice myself in them as the greatest blessings. For instance, am I seized with pain and sickness — I shall look upon it as a message from God, sent on purpose to put me in mind of death, and to convince me of the necessity of being always prepared for it by a good life, which a state of uninterrupted health is apt to make us unmindful of.
