To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For this the Cross 24 Cfje f&uritan Spirit was set, under shadowed heavens, on the amazed and quaking earth. Above this are opened the gates of light.
This honor for the soul, as related to God and to the holy and bright Immensity, is as essentially as anything else a characteristic force and element in the Puritan spirit. Mas- son gives a perfect illustration of it when, in his Life of Milton, he describes the great poet, at his graduation from Cambridge in 1632, two years after some of our an...cestors reached these shores, as characterized by a solemn and even an austere demeanor of mind, connected with which, he says, was a haughty yet not immod- est self-esteem, since he recognized himself as an endowed servant of the Most High, and was accordingly daringly resentful of any interfer- ence, from whatever quarter, with his complete intellectual freedom. That was precisely the Puritan spirit. Even the portraits of Puritans show it, whether by Van Dyke on the other side of the ocean, or by Copley on this.
