What reading level is Letters Addressed to Trinitarians And Calvinists Occasioned By Dr Woods Lette book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is only the irresistible influ- ence of the spirit of God, which can renew and change their nature. Now we assert, that until this grace has been imparted and resisted, there can be no blame-worthiness. Beings so situated may be the objects of pity to the Author of their being, and his pity may be manifested in bringing suffering upon them in the way of discipline, for the purpose of promoting their renovation, and bringing them to a state of holiness : but it cannot be inflicted by a just b...eing as punishment. Now, if I rightly understand the scheme of Calvinism, divine punishments are not, according to that scheme, disciplinary, but vindictive. God punishes his offending creatures, not to reform them, but to vindicate his authority. The sufferings of the wicked have no tendency to reform, but rather to 50 harden and confirm them in their opposition to God and their duty.
Now, however consistent with justice may be the infliction of vindictive punishment, where it is in the power of the subject of it to be different from what he is, and to act otherwise than he does ; it is contended that it cannot be so, where the guilt to be punished is inbred, a part of man's original na- ture, such as he came from the Creator's hands ; where, in fact, the sinner is as his Maker sent him into the world, not as he has made himself by his own act, by the abuse, or neglect, or perversion of his power, and his faculties and affections.
