Strana 140 - Christian assembly was a little state, governed by its own laws, which were either enacted, or, at least, approved by the society; But, in process of time, all the Christian churches of a province were formed into one large ecclesiastical body, which, like confederate states, assembled at certain times, in order to deliberate about the common interests of the whole.
Strana 31 - The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ : when he is come he will tell us all things.
Strana 309 - The virtues that had formerly been ascribed to the heathen temples, to their lustrations, to the statues of their gods and heroes, were now attributed to Christian churches, to water consecrated by certain forms of prayer, and to the images of holy men. And the same privileges, that the former enjoyed under the darkness of paganism, were conferred upon the latter under the light of the gospel, or rather under that cloud of superstition that was obscuring its glory.

Strana 308 - Nor did the evil end here ; for those vain fictions, which an attachment to the Platonic philosophy and to popular opinions had engaged the greatest part of the Christian doctors to adopt before the time of Constantine, were now confirmed, enlarged, and embellished in various ways.
Strana 294 - ... their ambition, or oppose their proceedings; and principally that they might either engross to themselves, or distribute as they thought proper, the possessions and revenues of the church. Hence it came to pass...
Strana 19 - Aristotle, is something like the principle that gives motion to a machine ; it is a nature happy in the contemplation of itself, and entirely regardless of human affairs ; and such a divinity, who differs but little from the god of Epicurus, cannot reasonably be the object either of love or fear.
