To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The conse- quences of passion and prejudice, transfused into a coun- cil, or civil court, would be the same ; and the conse- quences of having civil or ecclesiastical officers responsi- ble for their conduct but to a popular board, usually imder their entire control, would, in both cases, alike 30 secure impunity in transgression. The constitution of a stated council voluntarily adopted, is no more a surren- dry of religious liberty, than the reference by law of secular disputes, to a stated ci...vil court instead of a mu- tual arbitration is a surrender of civil rights ; and no more constitutes an ecclesiastical despotism, lording it over God's heritage, than civil courts constitute a civil despotism, lording it over states and nations. The cry of popery, against stated ecclesiastical councils, is just as senseless, as the cry of despotism would be, against the constitution of the United States. The one, is a volun- tary civil compact, for general purposes, that indepen- dent states could not achieve but by union : and the other, is a voluntary compact, for religious purposes, that independent churches cannot achieve, but by union.
