To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In those times it was commonfor men to sacrifice their lives for the good of their country, althoughthey had neither hope or belief of future rewards; whereas, in our days, very few make the least scruple of sacrificing a whole nation, as wellas their own souls, for a little present gain; which often hath beenknown to end in their own ruin in this world, as it certainly must inthat to come.
Have we not seen men, for the sake of some petty employment, give upthe very natural rights and liberties... of their country, and of mankind, in the ruin of which themselves must at last be involved? Are not thesecorruptions gotten among the meanest of our people, who, for a piece ofmoney, will give their votes at a venture, for the disposal of their ownlives and fortunes, without considering whether it be to those who aremost likely to betray or defend them? But, if I were to produce only oneinstance of a hundred wherein we fail in this duty of loving ourcountry, it would be an endless labour; and therefore I shall notattempt it.
