To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We may maintain that a church has no right to debar from its communion any who give evidence that they believe in Christ to the saving of the soul ; but we cannot deny that, within reasonable limits, the founders of a school for theological learning have a right to annex condi- tions to their gifts, and especially to determine what sort of men their trustees and representatives shall employ in the function of teaching, and to what scheme or system of doctrines the endowment shall be de- voted. ...The words which I have just recited as authorizing us to call the seminary creed " a compromise," are a true testimony felicitously uttered. They are the tes- timony of one who was intimately conversant with all the proceedings, and who, at the end of all the deliber- ation and concession which he describes, had so effect- ually commended himself to the confidence of the orig- inal founders as a safe and judicious theologian, that, notwithstanding his Hopkinsian antecedents, he was appointed by their right of nomination to the Abbot Professorship.
