Book excerpt: Excerpt from For the Oracles of God, Four Orations, Vol. 1 of 9: For Judgment to Come, an Argument, in Nine Parts IT hath appeared to the Author of this book, from more than ten years' meditation upon the subject, that the chief obstacle to the progress of divine truth over the minds of men, is the want of its being properly presented to them. In this Christian country there are, perhaps, nine-tenths of every class whoknow nothing at all about the applications and advantages of the single truths of te velation, or of revelation taken as a whole; and what they do not know, they cannot be expected to reverence or obey. This ignorance, in both the higher and the lower orders of Religion, as a discerner of the thoughts and in tentions of the heart, is not so much due to the want of inquisitiveness on their part, as to the want of a sedu lous and skilful ministry on the part of those to whom it is entrusted.
