What reading level is [the Works of Theodore Parker] book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But the Catholics did not see what is plain to all men now — that this very abuse of Sunday and scripture was only the reaction against other abuses, ancient, venerated, and enforced by the Catholic church itself. Every sect has some institution which is the symbol of its religious consciousness, though not devised for that purpose. With the early Christians, it was their love-feasts and communion; with the Catholics, it is their gorgeous ritual with its ancient date and divine pretensions — a ...ritual so imposing to many ; with the Quakers, who scorn all that is symbolic, the symbol equally appears in the plain dress and the plain speech, the broad brim, and thee and thou. With the Puri- tans, this symbol was the Sabbath, not the Sunday. Their Sabbath was like themselves, austere, inflexible as their '^ divine decrees ;" not human and of man, but Hebrew and of the Jews, stem, cold and sad. The Puritans were possessed with the sentiment of 260 THE TRANSIENT AND PERMANENT fear before Grod; they had ideas analogous to that sentimenty and wrought out actions akin to those ideas.
