What reading level is Ye Olden Blue Laws book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They sought relief in stealthy juvenile pranks, fidgeted, and shuffled ; and some would at last slip through the door.
Shocking conduct of this kind had to be sup- pressed. The Massachusetts General Court, on October 18, 1654, produced the law that the min- isters expected would do it. Its preamble set forth how in the several congregations there was much disorder "through the irreverent carriage and behavior of divers young persons." Pro- ceeding to business, the act instructed town se- lectme...n to nominate committees to admonish the transgressors, either in the congregation or else- where. If solemn reproof failed, the magis- trates were required to take a hand.
Then this law went on to make a suggestion that the ministers must have thought extraor- dinary. Seldom could any law objectionable to the theocratic coterie be passed. However, in this case the provision was merely a proposal and PENNING THE FLOCK 95 nothing more. It was a hope expressed in the end of the act that "the reverend elders of the several congregations, according to their wis- dom, wUl so order the time of their public ex- ercise, that none shall be ordinarily occasioned to break off from the congregation before the full conclusion of the public exercise." Here was an intimation that shorter sermons would no doubt be more effectual in holding flocks intact.
