What reading level is History And Ecclesiastical Relations of the Churches of the Presbyterial Order At Amoy, China book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

No. Thelittle church had the right to choose men, and having chosen suitablemen, it was our duty to ordain them. The authority we thus exercised wasnot usurped, but was implied in the commission we received from ourMaster through the Church. The same may be said of the authority of thebrethren at Amoy, when, in connection with the representative elders ofthe various churches, they proceeded to the ordination of nativepastors, and the organization of new churches. It was not necessary forthe per...formance of every act to get a new commission from the Church. When the Church sent us out, the one commission contained all theauthority necessary for the complete organization of the church. It isan absurdity to deny, on _constitutional grounds_, the right of theMissionaries to perform these last acts unless you deny their right toperform all their other acts except the simple preaching of the Gospel. Their acts were all _extra_, not _contra_ constitutional. If theirauthority thus to act be justified in reference to the former acts, anddenied in reference to the latter, the justification and denial must beon other grounds than the Constitution of our Church.
