§.2. Earliest practice

1
To authority and
influence, the word
power can scarcely
be applied, so long as
the influencee can
withdraw himself
at pleasure from under
it. If it can, it
would be necessary
to distinguish between
the two species of power
— power in nolentes
— power in volentes.
p.1

1(a)
Volentes per populos
&c. this without
impropriety be applied
to the people
before acceptance,
but if afterwards,
each individual
was as free to comply,
the present
would have no
value. p.1

of England. If
Paul knew aught
about the matter
they were the same
persons not that
any thing this
was relevant
For however much
power might have
been exercised by
over willing subjects
then, how could it
bring the royal
polenice to the

Victorious on the
ground of fact the
antagonists of Chas
never disputed the
conclusion. From
the religion of Jesus
