What reading level is The Spanish Protestants And Their Persecution book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There are motives for thinking so, not only from the words of the inquisitor, but also from a popular proverb of that time, which in order to denote the ugliness and frightfulness of poverty, compared it to the face of a heretic.
A man, who had a face so mean, so unhappy, and so uneasy, according to the notions of the inquisitors and the common people, must of necessity have opened the recesses of his heart to receive the re- formed doctrines ! Such a mode of reasoning is absurd ; but there are... a thousand proofs that such a mode was in use, although engendered in malice, and fostered by the expediency of the inquisitors.
Simancas, at every step shews the ill-will he bore to the archbishop. He says : " He was a culprit so prolix and confused, and tardy of resolve, and so sus- picious in every thing, that he gave us great an- noyance. " To be weighty in the manifestation of his feeling to be confused in the mode of presenting his thoughts to be, in fine, tardy in replies on which depended his honour and his life, afforded to the judges motives to infer that the poor Archbishop of Toledo was even more than ever deserving their suspicions, that he was guilty of the crime of heresy !
