What reading level is A Treatise On Justification, volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
cap. 51.
Thus we see the law of nations.in favour of the authority of the King as supreme in the business of Religion. To this argument, I add another, derived from the necessity, or at least the con- venience of the thing. For it is very necessary that there should be some one invested with supreme authority, for issuing commands in such matters as relate to Religion, and of punishing the refrao* tory. For otherwise, the outward worship of God, at least, would vanish ; heresies, blasphemies, a...nd other violations of sacred religion, would spring up, unless there were some executive, fur- nished with such authority as should, by terror and compulsion, restrain the wicked. This, Priests and Ecclesiastics cannot do ; for their province is to preach, to exhort, to reprove, to correct, by spiritual censures ; they do not carry the sword, neither are they invested with that supreme power which can hold the wicked to their duty from fear of punishments. Even the external form, then, of a Christian Republic, will not be maintained, if we set aside the civil Magistrate from a chief direction in matters affecting Religion.
