Detailed lecture on the requirements of the minister in speaking intelligibly to his congregation, for example "By using great care in defining and explaining out words, where there is any danger of a misunderstanding" (p. 13). Daggett also warns against "speaking in an unknown tongue, or in ambiguous, doubtful terms," as it is a "gross affront to common sense, and a manifest imposition upon those whom we pretend to teach" (p. 21).
