To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I bid them all adieu ; no longer esteeming the smiles of their advocates as any thing worth valuing, and no longer deterred from seeking the Lord by their frowns or their jests. — On going to sea, I was enabled to pass through my public duties with much composure ; and when in my cabin, I read the Scriptures like one who 80 THE RETROSPECT. had obtained a key, or index, to unfold, what was before unintelligible. Man was no longer a riddle, or his ac- tions unaccountable. I saw him rise and fall,... conquer or fly, in his conflicts with the world, himself, and Satan, just as grace was in exercise in his soul. The awful inconsistencies of Noah, Abraham, David, Solomon, and others, were reconcilable ; and, though I trembled, I was not surprised. To enlarge, however, in this part of the Retrospect, would not become me. I shall only add, that from that time to the present, I have been learning, by little and little, more of those great truths which I first heard at Stoke church. The night I left my kind christian friend's house to proceed on board, and thence again to sea, was a time of trial.
