What reading level is Incidents Illustrating the Doctrines And History of the Society of Friends book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The charge of " indecency" comes with ill grace from the authorities of the Massachusetts colony. The first Quakers who arrived in Boston, Ann Austin and Mary Fisher, were ar- rested on board the ship before landing, their books taken from them and burned by the constable, and they themselves brought before Deputy Governor Bellingham, in the absence of En- dicott. This astute magistrate ordered them to be stripped naked, and their bodies to be carefully examined, to see if there was not the dev...il's mark on them as witches. They were then sent to the jail, their cell window was boarded up, and they were left without food or light, until the master of the vessel that brought them was ordered to take them to Barba- does. When Endicott returned, he thought they had been treated too leniently, and declared that he would have had them whipped.
After this, almost every town in the province was favored with the spectacle of aged and young women, stripped to the middle, tied to a cart-tail, and dragged through the streets, and scourged without mercy by the constable's whip.
