To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Everywhere he speaks of bishoprics, sees, and dioceses, as spiritual offices and districts perfectly distinct from the sanctions of the civil power. They existed before the reign of Constantine. And it is matter of undeniable history, which no one will hesitate about, who has so much as looked over the pages of a common book, such as Bingham's An- tiquities (Book II. Chap. 1. ) that the Patriarchs, Metropolitans, and Diocesan Bishops of the Eastern Church, were entitled Bishops of particular ...places, such as of Ephesus, of Alexandria, and of An- tioch, and of Smyrna, even before the reign of Constantine, and when the Church was unrecog- nized and even persecuted by the civil powers. The purely spiritual office of an archbishop, or a bishop, of a particular place, as contradistinguished from the temporalities and the temporal incidents, such as a seat in Parliament^ sometimes annexed thereto by the civil power, is indeed far more ancient than any dignity known to the common law. And let me remind the learned reader, that Cruise says nothing of Bishops, * and Selden does not include Bishops in his celebrated treatise of Titles of Honour.
