To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
While ever afid anon a lurid wreath Comes rifing upward from the pit of death. Though all around him fpreads the gloom of night, His footfteps fparkle with a brilliant light ; His Lamp — the Book of God — doth brightly fhine, And pours upon his path a light divine. Between the murky columns as they rife, Sometimes he fees a palace in the ixies : His heart is cheered, nor death nor danger dreads. While circumfpeftly on his way he treads. Thus ftep by ftep, he walks the narrow road, Till at the e...nd he finds himfelf with God. Here is depifted a man juft ftarting from what appears to be folid ground, to walk upon a narrow plank, ftretched acrofs a deep gulf, and which ends nobody knows whither. Before him thick clouds of mift and vapour flowly but con- tinually afcend ; from the gulf or pit, rolling clouds of pitchy blacknefs alfo afcend. They fpread themfelves around .him; in wreathy columns they ftand before, and hide the future from his vinon. Still he proceeds ; he is a wonder to many, who cannot tell what to make of it.
