What reading level is Essays And Tracts book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We see it carry- ing before it every other feeling, — ^giving rise to the most unparalleled exertions, and even overcoming self- love itself. Men will run into any danger, encounter any difficulty, submit to any privation and suffering, and even expose themselves to the danger of death, for the sake of distinction; — and the tempter appears to have expected to find this propensity as strong in the Messiah, as he knew it to be in other men.
In regard to Self-love, which appears to have been more... particularly addressed in the first temptation, we cannot fail to perceive, how carefully it ought to be watched over, and how much it tends, if not duly regulated, to interfere with the high principle of de- votedness to God. It is opposed to every self-deny- ing duty, — ^and to every thing in which we are called to prefer the interests of others to our own, or to sacrifice our own ease or interest to a sense of our duty to God, or our duty to man. It is often opposed to a fiill and perfect exercise of the benevo- d by Google 226 THE MESSIAH lent affections, which ought to lead us to place oiir- selves in the situation of others, and to S9ek how we may promote their comfort and their good.
