What reading level is The Reformed Pastor Or the Duty of Personal Labors for the Souls of Men book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Buy them a catechism, or other small books, that are most likely to do them good, and make them promise to read them with care and attention. Stretch your purse to the utmost, and do all the good you can. Think not of being rich — seek not great things for yourselves or posterity. "What if you do impoverish yourselves to do a greater good; will this be loss or gain ? If you believe that God is the safest purse-bearer, and that to expend in his service is the greatest usury, show them that you d...o believe it. I know that flesh and blood will cavil before it will lose its prey, and will never want something to say against this duty ; but mark what I say, and the Lord set it home upon your hearts — that man who hath any thing in the world so dear to him that he cannot spare it for Christ, if he call for it, is no true Christian. And because a carnal heart will not believe that Christ calls for it when he cannot spare it, and there- fore makes that his self-deceiving shift, I say further, that the man who will not be persuaded that duty is duty, because he cannot spare that for Christ which is therein to be expended, is no true Christian ; for a false heart corrupteth the understanding, and that again increaseth the delusions of the heart.
