What reading level is Ten Sermons of Religion book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For if the ideal of yesterday has become the actual of to-day, to-morrow we are seized with manly disquiet and unrest, and soar up towards another ideal.
We have all more or less of joy, the quantity and quality differing amazingly amongst men.
There are as many forms of joy as there are pro- pensities which hunger and thirst after their satis- faction. What a difference in the source whence men derive their customary delight !
Here is a man whose whole joy seems to come from his body ; not fro...m its nobler senses, offering him the pleasures of the ear and the eye, but from the lower parts of the flesh, imbruted now to passions which seem base when made to minister the chief delight to man. We could not think highly of one who knew no joy above the pleasure of eating and drinking, or of any other merely ani- mal satisfaction. Such joys cannot raise man far.
If one had his chief delight in fine robes, the taste would rather degrade the man. Yet these two appetites, for finery in food and finery in dress, have doubtless done their part to civilize mankind.
