To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
One person began to preach in 1788 and was not made deacon until nearly three years thereafter; another commenced to preach in 1802, more than a year and a half before he was ordained, and there were many more doing the same thing. No objection was made to the employment of candidates to say the prayers and to read a sermon, in the absence of a clergyman, but for one to preach on the ground of being a candidate was contrary to the principles of the Church and an error both on the part of the ca...ndidate and of the parishioners who employed him. At the annual Convention of 1808, the several parishes in the Diocese were divided into thirty-four cures, covering by name seventy-two parishes, and " parts adjacent." At that time there were only twenty-six clergymen for these seventy-two parishes, eight of the thirty-four cures being reported as vacant. There were only four cures limited to one parish each. One cure was composed of one parish and parts adjacent, nine- teen cures were each composed of two parishes, one cure of two parishes and parts adjacent, and nine cures were each composed of three parishes.
