§.2. Earliest practice

1
Under auspices of liberty
the same causes which
place in the persons
needing instruction
the choice, give also that
of removal. p.1.

2
By resorting to Jesus
and hearing him, his
disciples appointed him
their instructor. By
departing from him,
the apostates, if there
were any, removed him
from his instructorship
is as much as it was
created by attendance.

§.3. Ante-Reformation

1
With or soon after Constantine,
came into
the chief seats of Christianity,
& thence into
England, Bishops — not
originally for teaching,
but for overseeing the
teachers (if different persons), and occasionally
the learners of the
religion. p.1

2
In those early days, scarce
any powers had determinate
limits. All power
seeks extension: & finds
resistance from the subject
many; & still surer
& more steady resistance
from the ruling
few. p.1

3
In springiness the power of
the power of the word
yielded not to that of the
sword, the only difference
was in the supporting
instruments.

Archimedes to move the
earth, required but
standing room. p.1

4
But the wielders of the
religious sanction, found
in heaven, not only standing
room, but levers of
matchless power. p.2

5
In the progress of power —
power of removal comes
before that of appointment

5(a)
the collection of court-tools
called representatives of the
people, remove the object
of the peoples choice before
they took on themselves
to appoint — they began
with appointment of a
man who had a minority
though a small one
of votes in his favour —
nor have they yet gone
the length of appointing
as their predecessors in
the time of the civil
wars did by unlimited
will and pleasure.
