What reading level is The Church in England volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
'12. Christ has given to His disciples no example of a power to excommunicate subjects principally for their denying them temporal things, but has rather given them an example to the contrary. ' 13. The disciples of Christ have no power forcibly to exact temporal things b}- censures. ' 14. It is not possible even for the absolute power of God to cause that if the Pope or any other pre- tends that he binds or looses at any rate, that he does therefore actually bind and loose. '15. We ought to be...lieve that then only does the Pope bind and loose, when he conforms himself to the law of Christ. ' 16. This ought to be universally believed, that every priest rightly ordained has a power of adminis- tering every one of the Sacraments, and, by conse- quence, of absolving any contrite person from any sin. ' 17. It is lawful for kings to take away tempor- alities from ecclesiastics who abuse them. ' 18. Whether temporal lords, or holy popes, or saints, or the Head of the Church, which is Christ, have endowed the Church with the goods of fortune or of grace, and have excommunicated those who take away its temporalities, it is notwithstanding lawful, on account of the condition implied in the endowment, to spoil her of her temporalities propor- tionately to the offence.
