What reading level is The Life of John Calvin book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Both he and Calvin were French subjects, and a journey to Paris might have been attended with un- pleasant consequences to them. This objection did not apply to Viret, a native of Switzerland ; who accordingly visited the French court with letters of recommendation, not only from the Reformed cantons, but also from the states belonging to the Smalcaldic league. 2 His mission does not seem, however, to have produced any fruits.
During the first four or five years which followed Calvin's re- turn... to Geneva, he experienced little opposition in consolidating his power, and establishing his favorite scheme of ecclesiastical government ; but about this time a party began to be formed, which, for the next eight or nine years, occasioned him consid- erable trouble. This party assumed the name of Patriots ; but 1 Lacratelle, Guerres de Religion, i. , 28, et. Seq.
2 Ruchat, v. , 253. P. Henry, ii. , 331.
THE LIBERTINES, OR PATRIOTS. 171 as a nick-name often serves to throw discredit on a cause, their adversaries gave them the appellation of Libertines, with a view to identify them with the fanatical sect of that denomina- tion, whose tenets have already been described.
