To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The other principle, on which this protest and appeal are grounded is, that a majority of voices, even of five to one, ought not to be the governing principle with a Presbytery ; that though four-fifths of a church and congregation, holding also four-fifths of the property, desire leave to call a minister, and although the nature of the objection of the other fifth is wholly unknown, yet, in such a case, the Presbytery have a right to resist the call. These are the principles of the champions o...f liberty. And had there been three instead of two, I should have compared them to the three frogs which came out of the mouth of the dragon, beast, and false prophet : for they were doubtless as unclean. I appeal to the unbiassed sense and discernment of the public, and to the common sense of mankind, whether it be reasonable or decorous that a minority should object to a man, and not tell the world, and the court before whom that objection is brought, what that objection is. And as to the grand ques- tion, whether a majority have a right to govern, to say nothing of other nations, or of man's inalienable rights, it is the great law of this nation I may say, both in church and state.
