To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At Geneva they were set up by Farel in this very year, 1535. In the Netherlands they were widely spread, and in Spain and Italy the Friends of Light had survived the utmost efforts to crush them. A cloud, as yet no bigger than a man's hand, had indeed risen, for in August, 1534, four months after the Papal authority had been set aside in England, Ignatius Loyola founded the Society of Jesus in his obscure room in Paris. But the portentous future of this fell conspiracy against God and man was y...et hidden. Meanwhile, the universal quickening of the public mind of Europe, which had begun with the Revival of Letters in the last century, spread and intensified in every direction. The middle ages had ended : modern history had begun. It astonishes one to notice in such catalogues as those of the Bodleian or British museums how many books poured from the press year by year. The discovery of hitherto unknown regions, also, was constantly stimulating the enterprise, and enlarging the conceptions-, of mankind.
