Whitefield’s preaching was singularly lucid and simple… His style was easy, plain, and conversational. He seemed to abhor long and involved sentences. He always saw his mark, and went direct at it… The consequence was, that his hearers always understood him. He never shot above their heads. Never did man seem to enter so thoroughly into the wisdom of Archbishop Usher’s saying, “To make easy things seem hard is easy, but to make hard things easy is the office of a great preacher”.[6]
