What reading level is Bourdaloue And Louis Xiv. Or, the Preacher And the King book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Duclos is one of the authors who has most closely studied, and most correctly judged Louis XIV. ; and on this account we must consider his flatteries of Louis XV. doubly inexcusable.
156 THE PHEACHER governed have no longer faith in their rulers ; rulers have no longer faith in their mission. All that was then adored, is now burned ; everything that despotism burned, is now adored ; and in the midst of this complete change among those things which are burnt, are to be found things eternally to ...be revered ; among those which are adored, are to be found many which despotism was perfectly right in burning.
To return to our subject, why should we be astonished that Louis XIV. had so thoroughly subjected preaching and preach- ers, when we see what was his power over religion itself? We do not mean to speak now of the altogether practical influence which he exercised by his example in becoming a devotee. Faith, also, up to a certain point, was under his jurisdiction. During the debates of a convention where forty of the bishops were of his opinion, and nine of a contrary opinion, he one day com- plained bitterly that these nine, in spite of his orders, refused to adhere to the decision of the forty ; he would give anything, he said, to see them unanimous.
