To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Some beasts are for sport, and the huntsman gives them advantages of ground, but some are knocked on the head by all possible ways of violence and surprise." He says: 'T is vain to trifle in this matter. The light, foolish handling of them by mulcts, fines, etc., 't is their glory and their advantage. If the gallows instead of the counter, and the galleys instead of the fines, were the reward of going to a conventicle to preach or to hear, there would not be so many suflferers. The spirit of ma...rtyrdom is over. They that will go to church to be chosen sheriflfs and mayors would go to forty churches rather than be hanged. If one severe law were made and punctually executed, that whoever was found at a conventicle should be banished, the nation and the preacher be hanged, we should see an end of the tale. They would all come to church, and one age would make us all one again. To talk of Ss. a month for not coming to this sacrament, and is. per week for not coming to church, this is such a way of converting people as never was known.
