What reading level is Oliver Cromwell And the Rule of the Puritans in England book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
So, in Cromwell's phrase, the country was governed by " a perpetual Parliament always sitting." .
Although the claims of the Long Parliament had reached their highest, the theory on which they rested had ceased to be in accordance with facts.
"The Commons of England in Parliament assem- bled," said the resolution of the House on January 4, 1649, ^^ being chosen by and representing the people y have the supreme power in this nation." But the House was never less representative than at the moment... when it passed this vote. By the expulsion of roy- alist members during the war, and of Presbyterians in 1648, it had been, as Cromwell said, "winnowed, and sifted, and brought to a handfuU." When the Long Parliament met in November, 1640, it consisted of about 490 members ; in January, 1649, those sitting, or at liberty to sit, in the House were not more than ninety. Whole districts were unrepre- sented. In the list of sitting members given in a contemporary pamphlet, there were none from the counties of Herefordshire, Hertfordshire, Cumber- land, and Lancashire, or from any borough within their limits.
