To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There was no longer an abbot of Glaston- bury 51 or an abbot of Reading 52 seated among the peers, and possessed of revenues equal to those of a powerful earl.
25 The princely splendor of William of Wykeham 53 and of William of Waynflete 54 had disappeared. The scarlet hat of the cardinal, the silver cross of the legate were no more.
The clergy had also lost the ascendency which is the natural reward of superior mental cultivation. Once the circum- 30 stance that a man could read had raised a p...resumption that he was in orders. But in an age which produced such lay- men as William Cecil and Nicholas Bacon, Roger Ascham and Thomas Smith, Walter Mildmay and Francis Wal- singham, 55 there was no reason for calling away prelates ENGLAND IN 1685. 45 from their dioceses to negotiate treaties, to superintend the finances, or to administer justice. The spiritual character not only ceased to be a qualification for high civil office, but began to be regarded as a disqualification. Those worldly motives, therefore, which had formerly induced so many 5 able, aspiring, and high-born youths to assume the ecclesias- tical habit ceased to exist.
