Perspicuity of the Gospel

A Lady of suspected chastity, and who was tinctured with infidel principles, conversing with a minister of the gospel, objected to the scriptures on account of their obscurity and the great difficulty of understanding them.

The minister wisely and smartly replied, "Why, madam, what can be easier to understand than the seventh. commandment; Thou shalt not commit adultery."

Had she not failed in the practice of what she knew, she need not have complained of what she did not know.
