To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Ball's political notions seem to have been of a very extravagant description ; but they were probably not the less acceptable on that account to his present flock. He took for the text of a sermon which he preached to them thfe two doggrel lines " When Adam delved, aud Eve span, Who was then a gentleman? " And in the spirit of these words he endeavoured to prove to them that all men were by nature equal, and that therefore it was both their right and their duty to insist upon the abolition of a...ll distinctions of rank, and to accomplish that reformation by their swords if they could in no other way. This discourse, as might be expected, was received with great applause.
Meanwhile, the signs of what the affair was about to turn to were fast showing themselves. The outcasts of society were flocking from all parts to join the insur- gents ; and the depraved and disorderly multitude began to perpetrate the most savage atrocities. Ball had in- structed them that the best way of putting an end to the oppression under which they laboured was to destroy all the nobility and lawyers ; and these principles being Cordially embraced both by the mob and their captain, they were immediately and remorselessly acted upon.
