What reading level is An Introduction to the History of the Church of England : From the Earliest Times to the Present Day book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Ordinary men disliked it, because it interfered with their usual habits and rebuked their indiffer- ence. Only men thoughtful enough to appreciate the value of discipline in the formation of character, and loyal enough to desire the discipline of the Church, were likely to welcome it, and they were but few among the generation then in power.
Puritans in England were looking in quite other directions for the training of life. The system of Laud seemed to them a step away from the light, back tow...ards the forsaken regions of error and superstition. Called upon thus peremptorily to shape their lives once more upon the old models, to follow in the wake of seventeen centuries of religious thought, they indignantly refused.
Some, rather than submit to a system which they looked upon as reactionary, fled from it into the wilderness, and sought in the new world a place where they could develop their own religious principles for themselves in their own way. Others remained at home and waited till the opportunity should arise when they might erect their own system over the ruins of the vanquished Church.
