To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
With them, he was convinced that the regularly-contributing members should have the right, every two, three, or four years, to elect, by a majority of votes, a certain number of elders, and also, in consideration of their good services, to re-elect them ; that pastors and parochial teachers should have sufficient fixed salaries, so as not to be forced to flatter and to beg this or that elder to advance sums in an irregular manner out of the contribution-box; and that no important transaction su...ch as buying or selling ground or houses, taking down or erecting buildings, incurring debt, appointing trustees, elders, pastors, or teachers should take place without the knowledge and consent of the congregation. It was added that, as the first legitimate pastor, Muhlenberg should be recalled to Philadel- phia, and that Handschuh should maintain the position as second in rank. Seeing that Handschuh and his elders and friends treated these demands simply as a monstrosity which they for conscience' sake would reject, Muhlenberg was wise enough not to communicate these symptoms of incurable stubbornness to the other party, and refrained from revisiting Philadelphia during June.
