What reading level is A Treatise On the Church of Christ Designed Chiefly for the Use of Students in book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
) 366 PRESBYTERIAN THEORIES REFUTED, [p. VT. CH. I.
conceding that there was some distinction among the presbyters of the church, from very early times, still this did not amount to episcopacy, since it was a merely temporary pre-eminence, like that of the moderators in presbyterian synods. I reply that the temporary nature of the office is a matter of pure conjecture : it is not founded on any historical evidence what- ever. We oppose to it the undoubted fact, that permanent episcopacy, like t...hat of the church, prevailed everywhere as far back as we can trace it. Such a fact is sufficient to render all modern theories of a different apostolical institution utterly improbable, and to convict them of inexcusable temerit)^ The same observation will apply to the theory, that the primitive bishops had no jurisdiction or authority beyond other presbyters, but merely a precedence in dignity. The whole history of the church is opposed to this theory, for it represents the primitive bishops as the leaders of the church, and the principal actors in every thing that occurred.
