What reading level is A Cypress Grove book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As to those shrink- ing motions and convulsions of sinews and members, which appear to witness great pain, let one represent to himself the strings u of a high-tuned lute, which, breaking, retire to their natural windings, or a piece of ice, that without any outward violence cracketh at a thaw : no otherwise do the sinews of the body, finding themselves slack and un- bended from the brain, and their wonted labours and motions cease, struggle, and seem to stir themselves, but without either pain... or sense. Swooning is a true portrait of death, or rather it is the same, being a cessation from all action, motion, and func- tion of sense and life ; but in swooning there is no pain, but a silent rest, and so deep and sound a sleep, that the natural is nothing in comparison of it. What great pain then can there be in death, which is but a continued swooning, a sweet ignor- ance of cares, and a never again returning to the works and dolorous felicity of life ? The wise and all-provident Creator hath made death by many signs of pain appear terrible, to the effect, that if man, for relief of miseries and present evils, should have unto it recourse, it being (apparently) a worser, he should rather constantly endure what he knoweth, than have refuge unto that which he feareth and knoweth not.
