To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Gaunt was an " anabaptist, noted for her beneficence, which she extended to " persons of all professions and persuasions. One of the rebels, " knowing her humane disposition, had recourse to her in his " distress, and was concealed by her. Hearing of the proclama- " tion, he betrayed his benefactress and bore evidence against " her. He received a pardon ; she was BURNED ALIVE FOR HER " CHARITY. " " Lady Lisle was widow of one of the regicides, who had " enjoyed great favour and authority under ...Cromwell. His " widow was now prosecuted for harbouring two rebels the day " after the battle of Sedgemoor ; and Jeffries pushed on the " trial with unrelenting violence. It appeared not by any proof " that she was so much as acquainted with the guilt of the persons, " or had heard of their joining the rebellion of Monmouth That " though she might be obnoxious on account of her family, it was " well known that her heart was ever loyal, and that no person " in England had shed more tears for that tragical event, in which *' her husband had unfortunately borne too great a share.
