To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The sentiment of the passage has another instruc- tive application to the whole period of tbe Gospel Dis- pensation. At no time has it been perfectly clear or perfectly dark. The history of the Redeemer's Church abounds in exemplifications of this truth. The fires of a bitter persecution have many a time, reduced her numbers und her strength. Enemies within herself have greatly endangered her prosperity and her* very existence. False dootme, superetiticHi^ aad iHiiMmtlitf , 134 have most sadly ...defaced her glory. But never has the Lord been without a chosen remnant, — ^a people to show forth His praise on the earth, — to shed over the gross darkness of the world, the reflected light of His holi- ness and glory. And were it not for the inspired lan- guage in which these vicissitudes are distinctly foretold, the believer would not know upon what to build his hopes for the final triumph of the Gospel. But by look- ing into the mirror of God's word, he sees that the Church is still living in the twilight only, of a great and glorious day ; that she must be content to struggle on amidst discipline and sufiFering, till the day when her Lord shall again appear for her complete deliverance and salvation.
