What reading level is The Story of Boston. a Study of Independency book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Mather said : " I verily believe that we shall sin against the God of heaven if we vote an affirmative. The Scripture teacheth us otherwise : ' That which the Lord our God hath given us, shall we not possess it ? ' " It was not the first time that Mather had raised his powerful voice in similar strains. Three years previously he had preached a sermon ostensibly in reference to comets and earthquakes, but really having political lessons, in which Scripture was aptly quoted to prove that God woul...d interfere to protect his N*ew England children.
The records of this notable town-meeting are not preserved, but we have a paper, apparently from the hand of Increase Mather, in which the subject be- fore it is discussed with as much regularity as the charges of Randolph were made in his application POPISH COUNSELS AT COURT. 1 55 for the quo warranto. It argues that the sacred document ought not to be given up, because it would be " destructive to the interests of rehgion " ; nothing would be gained by it (those corporations that had already submitted to the pleasure of the court had gained nothing)* ; it would be a departure from the ancient principles and policy of the colon}/, for in 1638, though under a quo zvarranto, which had been issued in 1635, judgment had been given against the charter, the fathers did not and durst not make submission, and in 1664 they would not have commissioners over them ; there was fear of " popish counsels " at court ; it would be contrary to the advice of the ministers, given only three years before, after " a solemn day of prayer " ; and it ought not to be done in any event without the con- sent of the whole body of the freemen and church- members.
