Reading Experience:

Evidence:

'I had rather you would not read Dr Price's sermons, as they would lead you into controversial disputes, and your limited range of books would not afford you a clue - the Dissertations are less entangled with controversial points, and contain useful truths - coming warm from the heart they find the direct road to it; but the sermons require more profound thinking, are not calculated to improve the generality.'
