What reading level is The Sacraments An Inquiry Into the Nature of the Symbolic Institutions of the book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

In other words, was not every baptism which Mr. Hall administered, the same corporeal action as that performed by John, " a naked ceremony, " as he calls it, unaccompanied by any Divine power? or was it invariably followed by the copious effusion of spiritual influence? If this be the essential difference, baptism, as he adminis- tered it, and as all men now administer it, (unless the Catholic doctrine of baptismal regeneration be true, ) is essentially defective ; is, in short, not Christian b...aptism, but only the " naked ceremony" of John. Even the acci- dental distinction of the effusion of the Holy Spirit was not uniform, for at least on one occasion the Spirit de- scended after baptism administered by John, while on most occasions it did not fall on those baptized by the early Christians. In direct opposition to the opinion of Mr. Hall, that " the copious effusion of spiritual influence was appointed to follow the sacramental use of water, " it is to be observed, that the apostles were not exclusively, 152 ON John's baptism.
