Guarded as I see him by surrounding checks on
all sides my hopes are much stronger of his prejudices
being softened and corrected by the functions
given him and new lights infused into him by
this new and truly sacred office, than my fears
of seeing the powers of the office abused through
the influence of any prejudices to the influence of which his
original function may stand exposed. That infinite
mischief has ensued from the conjunction of
temporal with spiritual power is a truth too notorious
to and insisting on: but how and why?
because the temporal powers were secured by the spiritual
man in the way of in his own right as a matter of right
and in the way of a conquest made by the terrors
of his spiritual influence, it was because the temporal
authority thus usurped spurned all temporal
controul superior and was holden not of the temporal magistrate
but against him. The effect of temporal
authority conferred in this way upon a spiritual
man the natural effect is precisely the reverse
of an authority of the same kind secured
by him as a prize: the dependent tendency of the is to
render him a man as mild and tractable as that of violent
assumption is to render him insolent and impracticable
