To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But it was not to be so ; nor, indeed, cre- ated as human nature is, could possibly be. The miraculous virtue of the seed could not change the nature of the soil, and the sweet new wine put into old bottles could not fail to catch a taint from the acid in- crustations of the original liquor. Cor- ruptia optimi pessima is the great lesson which history everywhere teaches, and no- where with a more tragic impressiveness than in the history of the Christian Church. What a rank crop of old wives' f...ables, THE CHURCH. 85 endless genealogies, ceremonial observ- ances, worship of the letter, voluntary humilities, and disputations of science, falsely so called, started into fretful array before the spiritual swordsmanship of St. Paul, no reader of the grandest correspond- ence in the world need be told ; but it was not so much from Jewish drivel, Attic subtlety, or Corinthian sensualism, that the corrupting forces were to proceed which in the post-Apostolic age insinuated them- selves like a poison into the pure blood of the Church.
