What reading level is The Church And Its Ordinances volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is by bearing this in mind that we make consistent passages in the fathers which might other- wise appear inconsistent, and thus gain a strong argu- ment against the papist ; for instance, when we find them at one time referring to the tradition of the church as a guide that they would be most unwilling to forsake, and at another maintaining with all the vigour of their argument that Scripture, and Scripture alone, was the rule by which the truth of any doctrine could be proved. Tradition su...pplied the hypothesis, the Church asserted the proposition, and Scripture gave the proof. And was not this the principle upon which our an- cestors here in England acted, when three centuries ago they banished from the church of their forefathers the abominations of popery ? Did they imagine so vain a device as that every man might go to the Bible, and that too a translated one, and carve from thence a religion for himself? If they did, how strangely incon- sistent was their conduct in publishing their Institutions and Necessary Doctrines, their injunctions and articles, and catechisms and canons, and homilies, how much more inconsistent their having recourse to legal means ON THE AUTHORITY OF THE CHURCH.
