To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Carefulness, industry, attention to details, courage of con- victions, and patience were his ; but he had little intellectual sympathy, little power of putting himself in anotl>^'s place, and perhaps, worst of all, little or nq sense bf humoi^c. Instead, therefore, of being a statesman he was af indus- trious peddler in state affairs; instead of being a great prelate he was an episcopal martinet ; instead of being a great leader he was, as has I>een said, "a lawyer in a rochet." He was conscien...tious, but his conscience took exaggerated notice of trifles, and was often irresponsive in weightier matters ; he had clear convictions, but his mind was incapable of exploring the depths and heights where the noblest spirits have found the tragedy and exaltation of the soul. He was sincere, but his piety, though genuine, lacked the sympathy which belongs to deeper natures. Had Bishop Andrewes lived, perhaps Laud might havb gained from his friendship a larger prudence and a greater appreciation of experimental piety.
