To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The whole of the high nobility to a man agreed to it: the Lower Houseraised the resolutions of the clergy into law.
How completely did the German ambassadors, who had come over with theexpectation of seeing the victory in England of the theologians whowere friendly to them, find themselves deceived! They still howevercherished the hope that these resolutions would never be carried out. Their ground for hope lay in the King's marriage with a GermanProtestant princess, which was just then being a...rranged.
Some years before Anne Boleyn had fallen a victim to a dreadful fate. How had the King extolled her shortly before his marriage as a mirrorof purity, modesty and maidenliness! hardly two years afterwards heaccused her of adultery under circumstances which, if they were true, would make her one of the most depraved creatures under the sun. Ifwe go through the statements that led to her condemnation, it isdifficult to think them complete fictions: they have been upheld quiterecently. If on the other hand we read the letter, so full of highfeeling and inward truthfulness, in which Anne protests her innocenceto the King, we cannot believe in the possibility of thetransgressions for which she had to die.
