What reading level is Seventeen Short Treatises of S Augustine Bishop of Hippo book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
that one, who in saying a false thing aimed that he to whom he spake should follow the truth ? or this one, who in saying a true thing aimed that he to whom he spake should follow a false- hood ? Or haply have both lied ? the one, because he wished to say a false thing: the other, because he wished to deceive? Or rather, has neither lied ? not the one, because he had the will not to deceive : not the other, because he had the will to speak the truth ? For the question is not now which of them s...inned, but which of them lied: as indeed it is presently seen that the latter sinned, because by speaking a truth he brought it about that a person should fall among robbers, and that the former has not sinned, or even has done good, because by speaking a false thing he has been the means of a person's avoiding destruction. But then these instances may be turned the other way, so that the one should be supposed to wish some more grievous suffering to the person whom he wishes not to be deceived ; for there are many cases of persons who through knowing certain things to be true, have brought destruction upon themselves, if the things were such as ought to have continued unknown to them: and the other may be supposed to wish some con- venience to result to the person whom he wishes to be deceived; for there have been instances of persons who would have destroyed themselves had they known some evil that had really befallen those who were dear to them, and through deeming it false have spared themselves: and so to be deceived has been a benefit to them, as to others it has Question of definition.
