To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Alas ! no ; for the greater part of men despise this way of salvation, or, at least, care nothing about it. -Suppose, in the case I have just stated, you were obstinately to refuse me as your surety ; do you think I would afterwards release you ? Tom. No, surely. Jack. Then how can you, or any man, expect to be saved by a Redeemer, whom you despise and reject ? No my dear Tom, we must come as guilty penitent sinners, and beg for mercy, for Christ's sake, de- termining by His grace to forsake ou...r sins, before we can ever obtain true comfort or advantage from his salvation ; then indeed we may " rejoice with joy unspeakable, and full of glory. " Tom. That, I suppose made you so hap- py in the storm : but pray, why do you call the bible your Chart ? Jack. Because, as I told you, it marks our track across the ocean of this life, and points out the rocks and shoals, which are to be avoided. Tom. And what are they ? Jack. The first rock is unbelief, which lies concealed under the surf of self-confi- dence ; in plain English, this means, that the disbelief of God's word, and the want of true faith, are no less dangerous to our souls, than a rock covered by the ocean, is to our bodies.
