What reading level is A Letter to the Rate Payers of Eton book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I remember who it is that says, that " blessed 6 is the man that provideth for the sick and needy, the Lord shall deliver him in the time of trouble. " And I feel myself armed with the same authority when I say that, " cursed is the man that op- presseth the sick and needy, the Lord shall not de- liver him in the time of trouble. " This sentence has a national as well as an individual application, and I think we shall incur a heavy national re- sponsibility, if we do not do our utmost, every ma...n in his own order and degree, towards rescuing our country from the judgment due to a national op- pression of the poor.
It is high time for every man, professing Christian principles, especially those who are the appointed, consecrated promulgators of the Chris- tian faith, to ask themselves, whether they can con- scientiously approve of a law which is so admini- stered as to violate the first rule of Christian charity? And I cannot but observe, that this cruel method of executing a stern law is no less stupid and im- politic, than it is savage and abominable ; for if it be carried on in this spirit it is past all reasonable doubt, that it must end politically in a regular jacquerie that is, a systematic war of the poor against the rich ; as it must end religiously in the total destruction of all Christian influence upon 7 the poor ; for it is absurd to suppose that they will listen to the doctrines of a religion whose principles they see practically despised by their betters.
