To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
All martyrdoms by which fidelity to truth, or to that which may be misappre- hended for truth, is sealed, are of equal value. They all proclaim the homage of conscience to an authority regarded as supreme, and nothing more. In this re- spect the martyrdoms of Socrates, John the Baptist, James, Paul, Polycarp, and Hooper, are on the same level with that of the Lord Jesus Christ ; while in respect to their fortitude, their calmness, or even triumph, they stand in striking and favourable con- tras...t with it. Though it has been said that the blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church, it is not the death of martyrs that has finally given them their chief moral power over mankind. When martyrs have not only been sincere, but have also been heroes for the truth, whether the truth of science, politics, or religion, the scenes which most enchant succeeding generations are those in which whilst living they have done battle with error and established traditions. True, there is an ir- resistible pathos connected with their dying hour, but that fills but a small space in the memories of man- vi.
