What reading level is The Works of the Rev. Hugh Binning V.3 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Faith has a kind of pre- sent vacancy and quietness in it — in the very acting of it.
It is not a tumultuous thing ; but composes the soul to quietness and silence, — to a cessation from all other things ; but the looking upon Christ holden out in the gospel, and this in due time, vAW give greater rest and tranquillity. Consider what the Lord speaks to the peo- ple that would take a journey upon them to Egypt, Isa.
XXX. 15, "In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and confidence s...hall be your strength." Their peace was near at hand, but they would travel abroad to seek it, — and they find trouble; their strength was to sit still, and be quiet, and trust in the Lord : nay, but they would not sit still, but flee and wander abroad to their old house of bondage ; and therefore, says the Lord, you shall flee. Now, may not this represent the folly and madness of souls that are under the fear of wrath, and sense of sin, as it were a type of it ? Our rest is in rest- ing on a Saviour ; our peace is in quiet confidence in him ; it is not far off, — it is in our mouth : " The word is near," says Paul, " it is neither in heaven above, nor in the depth below." We need not go abroad and search for that happiness we want, — it is nigh at hand in the gospel ; but while we refuse this, and give ourselves to restless agitation and perplexity about it, sometimes we apprehend that we are eased in our travels and endea- vours ; but it shall prove to us no better than Egypt, — a house of bondage : wheresoever we seek shelter out of Christ, we will find it a broken reed, that not only will SERMON VII.
