To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
126 we have seen Mr. Brace quoting this " purest of the Stoic jurists " with disdain as an advocate of torture. The above passage (taken from Lecky's History of European Morals) shows how strangely facts are distorted in the interest of the apologetic theory. It is stranger still that Mr. Brace seeks to contrast unfavourably this humane Stoic lawyer with Theodosius, who, we have seen, ordered some of the most brutal punishments on both slave and free !
156 THE ADMINISTRATION OP JUSTICE favour o...f greater severity" (Encyc. Brit.). He directed that any man who insulted a bishop or priest — and we shall presently see their character at the time — should be tortured and exiled. By an ingenious process of reasoning the Church con- cluded that Satan might lend supernatural strength to heretics and witches, and so frustrate the ends of justice. It thus inspired the doctrine of " excep- tional cases/' in which the humane pagan limit ot torture might be entirely disregarded.
As a result of these pernicious arguments and rulings, the administration of justice in Europe fell into the most lamentable condition.
