Ch. 11. Dignity
§.2. Earliest practice
§.3. Ante-Reformation

§.2. Earliest Practice

1
Under this, as so
many other heads,
practice of early times.

2
Destitute of these
necessary appendages,
how imperfect was
the religion of Jesus as
propagated by his apostles. p.1

3
Pity that new gospels
could not be made —
but the world is so
wicked, this would
now be too late. p.1.

4
The objection that dignity
and power is
all popery, would
have no weight with
the temporal legislator,
were they of any
use. — But they are
scarcely more repugnant
to the principles
of Jesus — than
to utility. p.1.

§.2. Earliest Practice

1
Factitious dignity
in this application
of it, still more reprobated
by the religion
of Jesus, than by the
principle of utility
p.1

2
Factitious dignity
which was created by
political power, it was
not in the power of
Jesus to create. p.1

3
Whatsoever of this
kind it was in his
power to confer, he
peremptorily refused
to create, as has
been already seen.
p.1.

4
Whether power in life
to come, or favour in
present life was the
object of desire, the
lesson to his followers
was the same —
Among you there
shall be no factitious
preeminence. p.2

§.3. Ante-Reformation

1
As soon as Christianity
was enthroned, the
mint of dignity was
set to work under pretence
of doing useful
service. p.1

2
Of little use to hunt
out the diverse masses
of dignity contrived
by the ingenuity of
Papal Rome. Too
many have survived
the Reformation, &
still continue to defile
the religion of Jesus.
In consequence of the
natural connection
between factitious dignity
and power,
dignity without power
& at different elevations
was issued, & took
place in the labyrinthine
hierarchy. p.1

3
Bishops & Archbishops
in partibus prelates
as rank not synonymous,
but immediately inferior to
Bishops, may serve
as specimens. p.2

4
In the great workshop
of Papal Rome,
every man made
his own God in more
senses than one —
"Thrones, dominations,
princedoms, virtues" &c.
a translation of the
department in the
Romish Court, representing
the Romish
heaven — Angel a
common title to these
dignitaries. p.3.

5
(Dignities to ecclesiastics
as such among the coins
of the mint of Papal Rome.
No where was the making
of power &c out
of nothing so well understood,
or so successfully
practised.) p.1.
