What reading level is The Evangelical Succession a Course of Lectures Delivered in St Georges Free book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Assemblies were kept from meeting ; enactments favourable to the king's design were passed by his servile parliament ; the leading men in the church were silenced or banished ; persecution and bribery were both freely employed ; and at length a packed Assembly that met in Glasgow in 1610 was induced to yield, and prelacy became the established religion of Scotland.
It was only, however, the external framework of the church that became prelatic and erastian; the change was utterly abhorrent to t...he great body of the Scottish people. The party within the church that really desired episcopacy was, as we have said, numerically small. It consisted mainly of the ALEXANDER HENDERSON. 93 bishops themselves and those of the clergy and the upper classes who were directly under their influence or that of the court. Beneath the prelatic forms the heart of Scotland still beat true to Eeformation principles and to presbyterianism. Nothing but the fact that the whole country from end to end was sound and steady in its attachment to the original constitution of the church can account for the suddenness and completeness with which in 1638 the whole fabric which it had cost so much craft and cruelty to raise was thrown to the ground.
