IMore especially as regarded matters ecclesiastical was the transition DE JAMES STEWART. 147 intoxicating to such a mind. Instead of being a mere wor- sMpper in a parish church, he was the head of an august hierarchy ; and instead of being confronted by preachers who could speak of him as " Christ's silly vassal, " he was met by prelates who bowed the knee, and acknowledged him as " the breath of their nostrils, " and " in some sort their earthly creator. " No wonder that his head began to swim..., and that, " affecting the god, " he began to "nod, " and soon dropped over, in a state of helj^less fascination, into the arms of worshippers who could offer incense so potent and adulation so delicious.
