To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
91 The principal support of the dogma of wo- man's inferiority, and consequent submission to her husband, is found in some passages of Paul's epistles. I shall proceed to examine those passages, premising 1st, that the antiquity of the opinions based on the false construction of those passages, has no weight with me : they are the opinions of interested judges, and I have no particular reverence for them, merely because they have been regarded with venera- tion from generation to generation. So... far from this being the case, I examine any opin- ions of centuries standing, with as much free- dom, and investigate them with as much care, as if they were of yesterday. I was educated to think for myself, and it is a privilege I shall always claim to exercise. 2d. Notwithstand- ing my full belief, that the apostle Paul's testi- mony, respecting himself, is true, * I was not a whit behind the chiefest of the apostles, ' yet I believe his mind was under the influence of Jewish prejudices respecting women, just as Peter's and the apostles were about the un- cleanness of the Gentiles.
