What reading level is Defence of the Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The writer relied chiefly, however, upon the necessity of rejecting the principle contended for, because it would effectually destroy the Convention, and be an act of legislative suicide. For if, as It was insisted, every measure, in the words of the constitution, must be voted for by orders, then the vote of adjournment which continued the session must be nullified also. And since the constitution directed the Convention to be held only on Wednesday, and the day on which the objection was made..., was the Thursday following, and since it is unquestionable that unless the House were regularly adjourned by a legal vote, its session must expire on the day named, therefore it neces- sarily resulted, that as soon as the house resolved to nullify the measures of the preceding day, it would, by that very decision, destroy its own being, and so the whole session must break up in disgraceful confusion. Upon the same principle, it was 22 shown, that we could have neither record nor constitution ; be- cause we could only know that these were our records by our faith in our secretary ; but the secretary was elected in the same way, and therefore if we nullified one act on the princi- ple insisted upon, we should reduce ourselves to the situation of having neither officer or constitution, and thus bring ourselves to the position presented by the Bishop, that the Church in Massachusetts had been doing nothing for more than thirty years.
