What reading level is An Account of the Writings of Roger Williams book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was written by one imprisoned in Newgate for conscience' sake. So rigid was his confinement that paper, pens, and ink were denied him. He had recourse, therefore, to sheets of paper, sent by a friend in London, as stoppers to the bottle containing his daily allowance of milk. He wrote his thoughts in milk, on the paper thus provided, and returned them to his friend in the same way. It is well known that writing of this kind becomes legible by holding it to the fire. 4 From this treatise were... taken those arguments against perse- cution, which, being replied to* by Mr. Cotton, gave rise to the work of Mr. Williams, and which he has so significantly called, in reference to Cotton's views as opposed to the mild doctrines of toleration, " The Bloudy Tenent of Persecution Discussed. " It was written while he was occupied in obtaining the Charter for Rhode Island. In many parts it bears evident tokens of haste, and occasional obscurities show that he had no time to amend his work. Indeed, he tells us that these discussions were prepared in London, " for publike view, in change of roomes " and comers, yea, sometimes in variety of strange houses, " sometimes in the fields, in the midst of travel ; where he hath " been forced to gather and scatter his loose thoughts and " papers.
