To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Slander consists, generally, in uttering any kind of falsehood against another with a view to injure his interest, or his credit. Men are guilty of this crime towards a gospel minister, when they bear false witness against him, or charge him with wrong principles and wrong actions which do not belong to him. So Da- vid complained, that his enemies laid to his charge things which he was not conscious of. We slander a minister, when we ascribe those actions of his, which have the appearance of be...ing right, to wrong principles. All his words and actions, especially considering the difficulties of his station, ought to have the most favorable con- struction they will bear. When we give them the most unfavora- ble construction, — what is it but a kind of slander ? — We lie under this guilt, when we give a partial representation of a minister's words or actions, concealing some circumstances, and so making a different impression from what would be made, if the whole were known ; or when, by our suggestions, or by our looks, or by an artful silence, we infuse unfavorable thoughts or suspicions re- specting him into the minds of others.
