What reading level is Russia Or Miscellaneous Observations On the Past And Present State of That Co book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is wrong to compare the throne of the Pope with that of the Russian patri- arch. The Russian hierarch never aspired after tlie triple tiava, and the sword which belongs unto Caesar. Tiie most zealous of them were witnesses of the truth before the throne of their so^'ereigns ; and if for tliat they PATRIOTISM OF HERMOGENUS. 231 fell under their displeasure, they submitted without resist- ance. Out of the small number of her patriarchs, the Russian Church has even had such as have suffered for... the empire Hermogenus:* but, thanks be to God! she never had any from whom the empire suffered. But why then, you will say, did Peter change the patriarchal for the synodal government ? The principal cause of this change was probably the following that the power of the clergy, concentrated in the patriarch, might not oppose the rapidity of the other great changes which the ardent spirit of Peter had already undertaken ; because it was a constant maxim of the Russian clergy, never to abandon, without important reasons, the ancient customs ; and ever to beware of bringing the minds of the people into agitation by the introduction of novelties, the utility of which was not clearly manifest.
