What reading level is The English Church in the Eighteenth Century book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Law'sgreat work would certainly bear 'gospelising, ' but Whitefield was notthe man to do it. William Law improved by George Whitefield would besomething like William Shakspeare improved by Colley Gibber. But theincident suggests the very different qualities which are required forthe preacher and the writer. What was the character of Law's preachingwe do not know, except from one sermon preached in his youth; but we maysafely assume that he could never have produced the effects whichWhitefield d...id. [752] On the other hand, one trembles at the very thoughtof Whitefield meddling with Law's masterpiece, for he certainly couldnot have touched it without spoiling it.
Whitefield's Orphan House in Georgia was his hobby; it was only one outof a thousand instances of his benevolence; but his enthusiastic effortsin behalf of it hardly form a part of the Evangelical revival, andtherefore need not be dwelt upon.
The individuality of _Charles Wesley_ (1708-1788), the sweet psalmist ofMethodism, is perhaps in some danger of being merged in that of his moredistinguished brother.
