What reading level is The Utah Bill a Plea for Religious Liberty book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Luke and St. Matthew in one place have it, or commits adultery against her; so St. Mark has it, or causes her to commit adultery ; so St. Matthew in another place.
" But, says an objector, if it be adultery then to take another woman after an unjust divorce, it will follow that the wife has that right over the husband's body that he must touch no other.
" This is indeed plausible, and it is all that can be brought from the New Testament which seems convincing ; yet it will not be found of weigh...t.
" For it is to be considered, that if our Lord had been to autiquate the plurality of wives, it being so deeply rooted in the men of that age, confirmed by such fashions and unquestioned precedents, riveted by so long a practice, he must have done it plainly and authoritative- ly, and not in such an involved manner as to be sought out of his words by the search of logic.
" Neither are these dark words made more clear by any of the apostles in their writings ; words are to be carried no further than the design upon which they were written will lead them to ; so that of our Lord being, in that place, to strike out divorce so explicitly, we must not by a consequence condemn a plurality of wives, since it seems not to have fallen within the scope of what our Lord does there dis- approve.
