To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But if the ball on the right hand be alone projected against the central ball, the latter will fly off to the left. If the left hand ball is the only one which strikes it, away it rolls to the right. So it is in religion. Hope and fear are the strongest motives which actuate the mind of man. Here comes the doc- trine of election, fraught with hope and consolation, and strikes the mind of the believer from one quarter. From the opposite quarter comes the doctrine of free will and man's responsib...ility, calculated to excite our fear. They operate in true harmony, and the believer moves straight forward. Let him embrace the doctrine of election only, and off he goes to the left hand ; or of free-will only, and away he flies to the right. Nothing will preserve him in a straight line, but the joint action of both motives. 120 SIMEON. or in other words, undivided Christianity."
