To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Those that belong to the situation in life in which Providence has placed us, are not under our control. The other is to turn our eyes to God in the moment of temptation, to throw ourselves immediate- ly upon the protection of Heaven, as a child, when in danger, flies to the arms of its parent. The habitual conviction of the presence of God is the sovereign remedy; it supports, it consoles, it calms us. We must not be surprised that we are tempted. We are placed here to be proved by temptations.... Everything is temptation to us. Crosses irritate our pride, and prosperity flatters it; our life is a continual warfare, but Jesus Christ combats with us. We must let temptations, like a tempest, beat upon our heads, and still move on; like a traveller surprised on the way by a storm, who wraps his cloak about him, and goes on his journey in spite of the opposing elements. In a certain sense, there is little to do in doing the will of God. Still it is true that it is a great work, because it must be without any reserve.
