What reading level is Centuries of Meditations book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He despiseth those riches which men esteem, he despiseth those honours which men esteem, he forsaketh those pleasures which men esteem. And having proposed to himself a superior end than is commonly dis- cerned, bears all discouragements, breaks through all difficulties and lives unto it : that having seen the secrets and the secret beauties of the highest reason, orders his conversation, and lives by rule : though in this age it be held never so strange that he should do so. Only he is Divine ...because he does this upon noble principles ; because God is, because Heaven is, because Jesus Christ hath redeemed him, and because he loves 244 I Him : not only because virtue is amiable, and felicity delightful, but for that also.
Once more we will distinguish of Christians. There are Christians that place and desire all their happiness in another life, and there is another sort of Christians that desire happiness in this. The one can defer their enjoyment of Wisdom till the World to come, and dispense with the increase and perfection of knowledge for a little time : the other are instant and impatient of delay, and would fain see that happiness here, which they shall enjoy hereafter.
