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

This was the deacon Sigfrid, a man suf- 6 9 iciently versed in Scriptural knowledge, of excellent morals, and of admirable temperance, but permitted by Providence, for the preserva- tion of the virtues and innocence which graced his soul, to labour under many infirmities of the body, and enfeebled by an incurable disorder of the lungs.
Nor was it long before our venerable founder began to feel the oppressive hand of distemper. For it pleased the Lord to put the eminent piety of these two holy m
...en to trial by suffering them both to be cast upon the bed of sickness, for the beneficent purpose of crowning their fidelity with the additional lustre of a virtuous resig- nation to his appointments, and of raising them, as soon as their lingering afflictions were re- moved by death from this land of pain and misery, to an eternal refreshment in the light and peace of His heavenly glory.
Before he was admitted into this happiness Sigfrid, as we have already observed, endured a slow martyrdom from the perpetual gnawings of the direful disease which preyed upon his lungs and intestines.
