What reading level is The English Reformation book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
not surprising that such beginnings should have ended as they did. Open, generous, and undesigning, he made no secret of his intentions, and thought himself secure in the affection of the people whose cause he honestly espoused against the oppression of the nobility. But proud and vainglorious, he assumed royal state, and thinking himself religious because he opposed popery, he made it consist with his religion to enrich himself with the plunder of the Chm'ch. The signal victory which he obtain...ed over the Scots at the battle of Pinkey, in the first year of his government, confirmed his power for the time, though it probably tended to augment that vainglory which in the end contributed to his ruin.
It had been the policy of the two kings of the house of Tudor to take every means to depress the power of the old nobility of England. They had procured laws to restrain the number of their retainers, and they had carefully excluded them from the highest offices of government. There was a good reason for this.
