To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A kai'ned Father otthe Church has left us a Stoiy, that may not improperly be tranflated upon this Occafion : ' There was a Woman at Rome^ a Chri- * ftian, "^ho for her Pleailire, went into the Pagan * Theatre, where very loofe and profane Spedacles ^ were fhewn to the People j but before ihe came ^ away, {he was pojfejjed by the Devil j fhe was * brought to the Exorcift (whofe Office was to dif- ^ lodge thofe Spirits) who demanded of the Fiend ' how he durlt prefume to take Pofleflion of a ' C...hriftian ? He inllantly reply 'd 5 JVhat Biifinefi ' had JJ^e there? I found her uj> for there is a veiy ilrong Sym- pathy between our inward Affections and the Ge- Ihires of our Bodies, and we exprefs a joyful Ele^ 'v at ion of the Soul, when we offer our Tribute of Thankfgiving and FxaiCc Jlanding in the Courts of the Lord. THELcffonsffiould always be heard with a de- vout Attention 3 and tho' it be a Matter of Reli- gion with fome to read the Leffon fllently with the Minifter, yet in my Opinion it is a Degree of Zeal without Knowledge^ bccaufe it is generally no, more than a Lip-labour > it hinders thofe pious Meditations and Remarks which the Subjeft of the Leffon may fuggeil, and makes it become no more than a dead Letter.
