To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Who would Hercules have been had he loitered at home? no Hercules, butEurystheus. And in his wanderings through the world how many friends andcomrades did he find? but nothing dearer to him than God. Wherefore hewas believed to be God's son, as indeed he was. So then in obedience toHim, he went about delivering the earth from injustice and lawlessness.
But thou art not Hercules, thou sayest, and canst not deliver othersfrom their iniquity--not even Theseus, to deliver the soil of Atticafrom i...ts monsters? Purge away thine own, cast forth thence--from thineown mind, not robbers and monsters, but Fear, Desire, Envy, Malignity, Avarice, Effeminacy, Intemperance. And these may not be cast out, exceptby looking to God alone, by fixing thy affections on Him only, and byconsecrating thyself to His commands. If thou choosest aught else, withsighs and groans thou wilt be forced to follow a Might greater thanthine own, ever seeking Tranquillity without, and never able to attainunto her. For thou seekest her where she is not to be found; and whereshe is, there thou seekest her not!
