Probably the best example of of a 17th century writer, but then look at the King James Bible, right? 1611. That stuff even now, I mean, there's a few archaicisms in there. You can read that book.
The best things said about it
He taught that people could not be born again unless they were brought to Christ using the King James Bible, which is it it that's a big thing for I don't know like a fifth of Christians in the country today.

Why people recommend it
King James Bible by King James VI and I is the foundational 1611 English translation of the Christian scriptures that profoundly shaped both religious practice and the development of English literature. The Cultural Tutor discussed the text on How I Write, pointing to it as a premier example of clear seventeenth-century prose that remains remarkably readable today despite minor archaicisms. Robert Evans mentioned the translation on Behind the Bastards while examining the rigid religious dogmas of figures like Kent Hovind, noting the absolute authority placed on this specific version by a significant segment of contemporary Christians. Tim Pool also brought up the text on Timcast IRL to compare structured scriptural tenets and easily referenced scriptures against the lack of codification in modern political movements. Across these podcasts, speakers referenced the King James Bible not only for its immense theological footprint in American religious life but also as a enduring landmark of historical English writing and cultural tradition.

Tim Pool at least with christianity there's a bible and people can follow tenets and understand and read through it… 1
“at least with christianity there's a bible and people can follow tenets and understand and read through it and i certainly believe there are instances where people selectively you know will choose to follow some things but there's literally a bible you can look at it and yes it's been re-translated and changed i'm critical of that but for now”
