What reading level is The Ecclesiastical Institutions of Holland book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

II. The Church-council consists of the pastor or pastors and a certain number (fixed by the Council itself in ac- cordance with the requirements of the place) of elders and deacons, appointed for not more than four years. The Council exercises a general superintendence over the congregation, manages its business (except the finances), attends to the proper conduct of public worship and reli- gious instruction, admits new members, and in general re- presents the congregation. The deacons have sp...ecial charge of the poor. The Council also appoints elders (in office as such at the time) to represent it in the Classic Assembly (see III. ). Under certain conditions, a distinction is made between the functions of the " Great Council " and the " Small Coun- cil, " upon which the deacons do not sit ; but it is needless to consider the matter here. The congregations of each district are united into Classes, and each Classis is represented by its Classic Assembly and regulated by its Classic Government.
