To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Sanctity of conscience was their great tenet. " Their religion was their life. " Rigorous w^as the climate and hard the soil, where they chose to dwell. Here a countless train of privations and sufferings awaited them, pri- vations and sufferings, that might have made the less brave and energetic quail. Cold, and hunger, and fear of midnight slaughter, or cruel captivity by savage bands was their portion ! Under this load of evils, what but a firm belief in the sacred- ness of their cause, and ...the consolations derived from the sublime truths of Christianity, could have sustained them ? To their religious belief, their exemplary lives, their untiring zeal, and indefatigable industry, are we indebted for the blessings of freedom, plenty and knowledge, now enjoyed by us, their poster- ity. They have left us that, which gold and silver could not buy, which gems and diamonds could not purchase ! How great are our obligations to our brave and virtuous fathers ! how great also, to our noble and heroic mothers, who dwelt here from eighty to one hundred years ago !
