What reading level is Memorials of the Moravian Church book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" In order to march to Gnaden- hiitten, which place was thought a good situation for one of the forts, I assembled the companies at Bethlehem, the chief settlement of the Moravians. I was surprised to find it in so good a posture of defense ; the destruction of Gnadenhiitten had made them apprehend danger. The principal buildings were defended by a stockade ; they had pro cured a quantity of arms and ammunition from New York, and had even placed a quantity of paving stones between the windows o...f their high stone houses, for their women to throw down upon the heads of any Indians that should attempt to force into them. The armed breth ren too kept watch, and relieved each other as methodically as in any garrisoned town. In conversation with the bishop, Spangenberg, I mentioned this my surprise ; for knowing they had obtained an Act of Parliament exempting them from military duties in the Colonies, I had supposed they were conscientiously scrupulous of bearing arms. He answered that it was not one of their established principles, but that, at the time of obtaining that Act, it was thought to be a principle with many of their people.
