To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The former was viewed by the people as the sign of an earnest personal religion, and of attachment to the cause of freedom and re- form ; while the latter was regarded with suspi- cion, as clinging to outward observances, tinged with a spirit of servility, and secretly sympathising with Rome. Some circumstances appeared for a time to favour the cause of Puritanism. Prince Henry was suspected of a leaning towards it. The primate. Abbot, another Grindal, was well affected to it. The king sent dep...uties to the synod of Dort, which was a Presbyterian assem- bly ; and his divines supported, on doctrinal questions, the Calvinists, who overpowered the Arminians. On their return, however, James, with his usual inconsistency, took the Arminian clergy into his especial favour, and discounte- nanced the Calvinian; and, as if to make the breach between them irreconcileable, he wounded the Puritan conscience in its tenderest point, and offended its deepest feelings of religious QUALIFIED PRESBYTERIANISM.
