but the best advice is to read what you have outloud, for some reason our ear helps parse the latinate english structure.

That is advice of much goodness. Orating the text in decibels audible to me dull ear should much endear my neighbour to the glorious truths therein contained within that most glorious work of John Calvin.
Methinks that dog who lives next to me will not be much enlighted as he prefers the Romanish musical themes when he partakes of much wine. But persevere i will lest the providence of our Lord should so have predetermined that i spake in audible tones with the purpose that my neighbour should hear the truths contained therein and be converted
