To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
No character in New Eng- land is of purer fame than John Clarke. ' ' 12 . The Rev. Isaac Backus, of Massachusetts, the historian of the New England Baptists, writing of Dr. Clarke, says : **Mr. Clarke left as spotless a character as any man I know of, that ever acted in any public sta- tion in this country. The Massachusetts writers have been so watchful and careful to publish whatever they could find, which might seem to countenance the severities they used towards dis- senters from their way,... that I expected to find something of that nature against Mr. Clark, but I have happily been disappointed. Among all their authors or records that I have searched, I have not met with a single reflection cast upon him by anyone ; which I think is very extraordinary. Few men ever merited the title of a Patriot more than he did, for he was a principal procurer of Rhode Island for sufferers and exiles. And when their rights and liberties were invaded, he crossed the ocean, and exerted all his influence, in twelve years' watchful and diligent labors for his Colony at the British Court, till he obtained a new Charter for them, of great and distinguishing privileges.
