What reading level is Sketches of the Progress of Freedom book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The people were still fond of Catholic rites and ceremonies, with the excep- tion of the burnt-offerings; but there was a decided ob- jection to paying more tribute to Rome, or placing the clergy again above .the laws of the land.
It was this neutral condition of popular feeling which enabled a girl of twenty-five to make the Church of England substantially what it has continued to be down to the present day. Elizabeth's own religion was mod- erately Catholic, bur her title was exclusively Prot...est- ant. The Church of Borne had never sanctioned the marriage which made her heir to King Henry VIII. ; the pope declared her to be a usurper as well as a bas- tard; and her firmest supporters clung to her as the only refuge from having a persecutor of Protestantism on the throne. This state of things outweighed those tastes, implanted by early education, which made her delight in the pomp of the Catholic ritual, worship the Virgin to the last in a closet where candles burned be- fore a crucifix, and oppose marriage of priests all through her reign.
