To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
* The passage which follows I have taken the liberty of extracting, in substance, and nearly in words, from a Discourse delivered before the Uni- versity of Oxford, on the 5th of Nov. 1821, and published with the second edition of the Bampton Lectures. Our own name for the ministers of our own religion, we naturally apply to the ministers (in whatever sense) of any other religion; but the two words which have thus come to be translated " priest, " seem by no means to be used synony- mously. The... priests, both of the Jews and of Pagan nations, * constantly bear, in the sacred writers, the title of hier&us ; which title they never apply to any of the Christian ministers ordained by the apostles. These are called by the title of episcopos, (literally superintendent; whence our English word " bishop ;") prcsbyteros, literally elder, and so ren- dered by our translators, probably to avoid the ambiguity just alluded to; though the very word " presbyter" or " priest, " is but a corruption of that name : and — diaconos, literally " minis- ter;" from which our word deacon is but slightly altered.
