What reading level is Precious Stones Aids to Reflection From Prose Writers of the Sixteenth Seven book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
, p. 1. ) Prayer and Anger. Prayer is the peace of our spirits, the stillness of our thoughts, the evenness of recollection, the seat of medita- tion, the rest of our cares, and the calm of our tempests. Prayer is the issue of a quiet mind, of untroubled thoughts ; it is the daugh- ter of Charity, and the sister of Meekness ; and he that prays to God with an angry that is, with a troubled and discomposed spirit is like him who retires into a battle to meditate, and sets up his quarters in the o...ut- posts of an army. Anger is a perfect aliena- tion of the mind from prayer, and therefore is contrary to that attention which presents our prayers in a right time to God. For so have I seen a lark rising from his bed of grass, and soaring upward, singing as he rises, and hopes to get to heaven and climb above the clouds ; but the poor bird was beaten back with the loud sighings of an eastern wind, and his motion made irregular and inconstant; de PRECIOUS STONES. 63 scending more at every breath of the tempest that it could recover by the libration and fre- quent weighing of its wings, till the little creature was forced to sit down, and pant, and stay till the storm was over ; and then it made a prosperous flight, and did rise and sing, as if it had learned music and motion from an angel, as he passed sometimes through the air about his ministerings here below.
