To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Subscriptions were then required to points which before had been eluded ; the kingdom rung with the complaints for deprivation ; the most learned and diligent of the ministry were driven from their places ; while those who were introduced to read the liturgy, were so ignorant, that few of them could preach. Did men listen to their deprived pastors in the recesses of forests, the offence, if discovered, was visited by fines and imprisonment. A court of high commission was established for the det...ection and punishment of non-conformity, and was invested with powers as arbitrary as those of the Span- ish inquisitors. Two men were hanged for distributing Brown's tract on the liberty of prophesying ; that is, a tract on the liberty of the pulpit.
The party thus persecuted were the most efficient opponents of Popery. " The Puritans, " said Burleigh, " are over squeamish and nice, yet their careful cate- chizing and diligent preaching lessen and diminish the Papisti'cal numbers. " But for them, the old religion would have retained the afTections of the multitude.
