What reading level is A Reply to the Letters of the Abbe Dubois On the State of Christianity in India book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Dubois attributes to " the jealousy and alarm of the Bonzes and other Directors of the popular Faith;" awakened, as he says, by the daily increasing number of the Converts, which threatened " to supplant the Religion of the Country :" (p. 4. ) That this feeling existed, is most probable. But surely the Abb6 cannot be ignorant of the real causes to which this per- secution is generally attributed. The Govern- ment became jealous of the immense wealth which the Portuguese were accumulating, and e...xporting out of their dominions. The pride and intolerance of their Bishops grew insup- portable. Not content with the superintend- 90 Means employed by the Roman- Cat holies ence of Spiritual affairs, they interfered with Politics and the Councils of the State, and endeavoured to assume a superiority over the Nobility of the Empire. One haughty Prelate in particular, meeting one of the chief Counsellors of the State, refused to pay him that deference which he was entitled to receive. This insolence provoked him to prefer heavy complaints at Court ; and thereby the irritation of Government, already excited against the Portuguese, was considerably in- creased.
