What reading level is Lives of Eminent British Statesmen volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
2 Arminian prelates were the favourites of the court ; the royal favour shone exclusively on arminian clergy- men; and Montague, obnoxious as he had proved him- self by the arminian tendency of his works, was raised to the bishopric of Chester. On this subject Eliot felt strongly. He had already from his place in the house of commons denounced the tendency of those arminian doctrines, whose essential principle he had justly de- scribed to be that of claiming for the king, as absolute head of th...e church, a power resembling the pope's infalli- bility, an independent state supremacy a power over the liberty and property of the subject. His acute perception had already detected in Laud that resolution towards new ceremonies in the protestant church which should raise her out of the apostolic simplicity to a worldly equality with the church of Rome ; and in Laud's fervid sincerity on this point he saw the deepest source of danger. It was even now indeed in action, for further news soon arrived that Charles, as supreme go- vernor of the church, had published an authorised edition of the articles containing the objectionable clause (" the church hath power to decree rites and ceremonies, and hath authority in matters of faith, )" and with an order that no doctrine should be taught that differed from those articles, that all controversies respecting outward policy should be decided by the convocation, and that no man should presume to explain the article respecting justification contrary to its plain meaning, or to take it in any other than the literal and grammatical sense.
