What reading level is The Complaint of Peace book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
E of Christ's eulogy. He is thought to be ill affected to the king, and even to pay but little regard to the people's interest, who recommends v/hat is of all things in the world the most salutary, to both king and people, or dissuades from that which, without any exception, is the most destructive.
In addition to all this, chaplains follow the army THE COMPLAINT OF PEACE 39 to the field of battle ; bishops preside in the camp, and, abandoning their churches, enlist in the ser- vice of Bellona.... The war multiplies priests, bishops, and cardinals, among whom, to be a camp legate is deemed an honourable preferment, and worthy the successors of the apostles. It is there- fore the less wonderful that priests should breathe the spirit of Mars, to whom Mars gives ecclesias- tical rank, together with loaves and fishes.
It is a circumstance which renders the evil less capable of remedy, that the clergy cover over this most irreligious conduct with the cloke of re- ligion. The colours in the regiments, (conse- crated by ministers of peace!) bear the figure of the cross painted upon them.
