To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The wine casks and fat butts were never recommended as lit company for a soul which needed mortification. Let the dreamers of such ale-washed theology go to auricular confession themselves, and declare their own follies and sins to a confessor (who may have leisure enough to hear them), and they will soon discover how much more aptly the penance fits the sin than they had imagined. The free hospice, where travellers were entertained humbly, was not the George, but on the site of the White 92 GL...ASTONBURY. Hart across the wa}', where " whoso brought the face of a man brought with him his patent of welcome " : but if he wished for lordlier cheer, he stopped at the Georges Yn, and helped to endow the Chamberlain, who, for some time, was Richard Whytyng, the last of the Abbots. Similar travellers may still find similar good cheer, such as they desire ; and the certainty of a well-aired bed is worth something in the damp air of this ancient spot. But while they refresh themselves, let them think kindly of the generations who have come and gone in this Inn before them — type as it is of man's guest sojourn in life — and let them remember that there is no statute of limitations to the IXth Commandment.
