To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Pretenders to religion, who are at the same fime gamesters, are by no means few in number. If, in- stead of persecuting their neighbours for difference of opinion on points of doctrine^ they were them- selves to pay attention to the uniform language of Scripture on the subject of deceit, and e^cially of deceit practised for the purpose of unjustly extort- ing from OUT neighbour his money or goods^ they would, perhaps, cease both to game and persecute.
In Leviticus, ch. iv. the law is clearly la...id down.
We are, in no" case, to deceive our neighbour ; and, if we have gotten any thing from him deceitfully, we are to restore it to him with a fifth part in addi- tion ; and, then, atonement being made, forgiveness is to be obtained.
Now, the very essence of gamiog is deceit. It is impossible to gain, except deceitftdly ; for there is deceit in the motive. And, as to the manner of accomplishing the end, it presents, perhaps, the strongest possible proof of meanness and baseness of mind Feigned pleasure, feigned sorrow, feigned applause and feigned reproof: all is false: looks that lie, the lies being too refined to be trusted to the tongue.
