What reading level is Sermons volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He has a relish for the blessings of this life, but it is at- tended with a sense of their insufficiency, and does not exclude a stronger relish for the superior pleasures of re- ligion. He is not a precise hermit, or a sour ascetic, on the one hand ; and, on the other, he is not a lover of plea- sure more than a lover of God.
If he enjoys no great share of the comforts of this life, he does not labour, nor so much as wish for them as his supreme happiness: he is well assured they can never VOL.... I 28 218 POOR AND CONTRITE SPIRITS answer this end in their greatest affluence. It is for God, it is for the living God, that his soul most eagerly thirsts. In the greatest extremity he is sensible that the enjoyment of his love is more necessary to his felicity than the pos- session of earthly blessings; nay, he is sensible that if he is miserable in the absence of these, the principal cause is the absence of his God. Oh! if he were blest with the perfect enjoyment of God, he could say, with Habakkuk, Although the fig-tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vine ; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat ; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stall; though universal famine should strip me of all my earthly bless- ings, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, as my complete hap- piness ; I will joy in the God of my salvation.
