What reading level is Works of the Reverend John Fletcher, Late Vicar of Madeley V.1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But Jacob's dress, far from being all of a-piece, was a mongrel sort of human and beastly garment. For, when Rebekah had clothed his body with P2sau's raiment, " she put goat skins upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck," to make them feel like Esau's hairy hands and shaggy neck.
And the worst is, that the goat skins, and not Esau's borrowed dress, deceived the aged patriarch, and got the blessing. Hear the historian.
" Jacob went near to his father, and he felt him, and said. The voic...e is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau ; and he dis- cerned him not because his hands were hairy ; so he blessed him," Gen. xxxvii, 22. Thus the skin cf a goat, the emblem of a reprobate, unfortunately comes in to patch up your best robe. And I doubt not but, as the typical garment was too scanty to cover Jacob's hands and neck ; so the fancied antitype will prove too short to cover the hands of those, who, like " Onesimus, rob their masters ;" and the neck and heels of those, who, like David, are " swift to shed blood," and climb up into their neighbours' bed ; if they do not get a more substantial righteousness than that in which you suppose they stand complete, while they commit their enormous crimes.
