What reading level is The Elder the Annual Sermon On Church Polity Preached Before the Presbytery book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
These facts, taken in connection with that opposite fact, before referred to, that there is no recorded instance of the entire membership of the Church, sitting in judgment on a case of government or discipline, or of their assuming or exercising the functions of ecclesiastical jurisdiction in any form, have, it seems to me, immense weight and unanswerable authority, as bearing upon the whole question of the existence, and the official character and functions of Kuling Elders in the primitive C...hurches as organized and established by the Apostles of our Lord. But the argument for the office of the Ruling Elder need not stop here. If I had the time and inclination, and if it comported with the present design, it might be easily shown, upon the fullest and clearest testimony of those early Christian Fathers, whoso writings constitute the great treasure house of early church history, that in the period immediately succeeding the times of the Apostles, — con- fessedly the purest period of the Church's history, — the Churches which then existed were organized under the pastoral care of a single Bishop, with Ruling Elders and Deacons ; and this continued to be the case till the times of the Church's corruption, in doctrine and government.
