To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It may be true, that, compared with other nations our morals are in a meas- ure pure. But other nations are not the standard by which we are to be judged. We are descended from ancestors of singular piety, who have transmitted to us principles of conduct, institutions and habits, peculiarly favourable to invidual and national virtue. God has placed us at a distance from the corruptions of older countries, and has warned us by their woes. He has al- so signally prospered and enriched us, and cro...wned us with blessings. Never did a nation enjoy more abun- dant means of instruction, or more powerful motives to gratitude and obedience ; and can we hope that we have exhibited that purity of manners, that regard to God's word, that justice, that charity which our privileges and blessings demand ? It is hoped that we have many righteous, many Christians. But have not our sins multiplied with our blessings ? Does not every heart feel, that we deserve the judgements we suffer ? Let us seek by repentance and amendment to avert the judge- ments we fear.
