To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Of all the successors of Gregory VII. , he who resembled him most in the superiority of his genius, and the extent of his knowledge, was Innocent III. , who was of the family of the Counts of Segni, and elevated to the pontificate at the age of 37. He was as ambitious as that pontiff, and equally fertile in resources ; and he even surpassed him in the boldness of his plans, and the success of his enterprises. Innocent an- nounced himself as the successor of St. Peter, set up by God to govern no...t only the Church, hut the lohole world. It was this Pope who first made use of the famous comparison about the sun and the moon : As God, says he, has placed two great luminaries in the firmament, the one to rule the day, and the other to give light by night, so has he established two grand poivers, the pontifical and the royal ; and as the moon receives her light from the sun, so does royalty borrow its splendour from the Papal authority.
Not content to exercise the legislative power as he pleased, by means of the numerous decretals which he dispersed over all Christendom, this pontiff was the first that arrogated to him- self the prerogative of dispensing with the laws themselves, in virtue of what he termed ihe plenitzide of his power.
