Tit. v. B.
Parochial
Judicial Estab.
These great and sure advantages I am not to be frightened beaten
out of by any jealousy of professional prejudice.
Guarded as I see him by surrounding checks on
all sides my hopes are much stronger of his pri-
-judices 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 in-
-finite mischief has ensued from the conjunction of
temporal with spiritual power is a truth too -
- to and insisting on: but how and why?
because the temporal powers were secured by the spi-
-ritual man in the way of in his own right as a matter of right
and in the way of a conquest made by the
of his spiritual influence, it was because the tempo-
-ral authority thus usurped spurned all temporal
superior and was holden not of the temporal ma-
-gistrate but against him. The effect of tempo-
-ral authority conferred in this way upon a spiri-
-tual man the natural effect is precisely the re-
-verse 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 una-
-proacheable.
