What reading level is The Sale of Saint Thomas book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Why, we have wasps That make your hornets seem like pretty midges ; And there be flies in India will drink Not only blood of bulls, tigers, and bears, But pierce the river-horses' creasy leather, Ay, worry crocodiles through their cuirasses And prick the metal fishes when they bask. You'll feel them soon, with beaks like sturdy pins, Treating their stinging thirsts with your best blood. A man can't walk a mile in India Without being the business of a throng'd And moving town of flies : they haw...k at a man As bold as little eagles, and as wild.
18 And, I suppose, only a fool will blame them. Flies have the right to sink wells in our skin All as men to bore parcht earth for water. But I must do a job on board, and then Search the town afresh for a carpenter.
Ay, loose tongue, I know how thou art prompted.
Satan's cunning device thou art, to sap My heart with chatter 'd fears. How easy it is For a stiff mind to hold itself upright Against the cords of devilish suggestion Tackled about it, though kept downward strained With sly, masterful winches made of fear.
