To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But for a thorough reformation the mind of Elizabeth was by no means prepared. The superstitious tenets which her father thought proper to retain had partly in- sinuated themselves into her belief; while her imagina- tion had become still more impressed with the mysterious ceremonies and splendid array of the catholic worship. She was therefore inclined to draw from the more ad- vanced measures of her brother's reign, and would have been content with a very few changes in doctrine and form. Yet... Cecil had very powerful arguments to induce her concurrence w y ith his plans. He could represent that the voice of the nation was loudly in favour of the re- formation : that the ill success of her sister, and the s 4 264 BRITISH STATESMEN.
odium which she had incurred, proved the danger of attempting to maintain the worship of Rome : that the protestants, hoth at home and abroad, looked up to her as their only hope, and would prove the firmest sup- porters of her government : that the catholics, on the other hand, acknowledged Mary queen of Scots as the legitimate heiress of the throne, and were ready to make the most dangerous attempts in support of her title : that the more completely the minds of her subjects be- came alienated from the doctrines and rites of the Roman church, the more decidedly they would be united against the claims of her rival : and that it was impossible to be reconciled to Rome without giving up that supremacy in religious matters which her father had accounted among his proudest titles.
