To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
One ot the conditions required of the grantees of Andover was, that a meeting house should be built within eight years after the grant, and the preaching of the gospel constantly maintained. The proprietors erected a convenient house, and preaching was occasional- ly had; but no minister was formally settled until i782. In the early part of this year a church was gathered ; and on the 30th of October, the Rev. JosiAH Badcock was ordained to its pastoral charge. He was a native of Mil(on, Mass. ...; re- ceived his education at Harvard College, and graduated in 17*2. He is a good scholar, a chari- table and industrious man. The church remained united under his ministry for more than fifteen years, when many of the members embraced dif- ferent opinions, or became otherwise alienated; and the society grew so small, that in 1809, he proposed resigning his charge. His farewell scr- 15 ffion to the people, ob dissolving his connexion with them, was oi) affectiouate appeal to their un- derstandings on the evils of div'sioris and strife in religious communities, and an earnest exhorta- tion to them not to forsake the assemblinij of themselves together for the public worsiiipof God, even though his exertions had failed to increase their spiritual blessings, ^'o other congregational minister was ever settled in town, and there are now comparatively few of that denomination of christians.
