To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We cannot deny or palliate the intolerance of established Churches, but we must never forget that it has been shared to the fullest extent by the intolerance of sects and heresies of every kind. Indeed, wherever it exists, it is a proof that sectarianism has eaten its way into the vitals of the Church itself. Whatever provocations had been given by the Orthodox party were far surpassed by the violence and unrelenting bitterness of the Arians. A single scene will suffice, as indicating at once t...he character of Athanasius and of the persecutions. He had been urged to retire from Alexandria ; but with the reverential obedi- ence which, as we have seen, he kept up, at least in appear- ance, for the Imperial authority, he refused to leave his post without an express warrant from the Emperor. What his enemies could not effect by law, they determined to effect by violence. A mob has, in all ages and amongst all shades of ecclesiastical party, been a ready instrument for theo- logical agitators against their opponents.
