Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Government of the Church in Relation to the State and the Laity It is obvious that these two kinds of government by the State and by the laity are very different, that they must rest on different principles, and, he exercised in different ways. There have been theories and theorists who have represented the government or control of the Church bytthe State as being in substance the government of the Church by the laity, and who have justified this government upon this ground. But, though in a nation composed entirely of members of the Church, it may possibly be that the laity may preponderate over the clergy in the State, or civil society, while the clergy preponderate in the Church, yet even then the control of the Church by the State will only accidentally express the govern ment of the laity, the laity regulating a matter of State will do so not as lay-churchmen but as citizens, and in fact to give the control of the Church to the State in such a case is to create two rival bodies, each with despotic power in its own sphere, and with no bond of union between them, rather than to blend with proper admixture of powers and parts the two bodies into one harmonious constitution. This is so even when the State is composed entirely of members of the Church. Of course, directly persons who are not members of the Church come to have civil rights and influence in the State, all idea of the State representing the laity is gone.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Framework of the Church: A Treatise on Church Government The present volume treats of a subject which has been a bone of controversy for ages. It is very far from the design of the author to revive, much less to aggravate, the bitterness which the discussion has awakened; but, as the scriptural constitution of the Church has occupied much of his atten tion for at least half a century, he is desirous to communicate to others his matured convictions on the questions in dispute. He cannot expect that all his readers will adopt his con elusions; and yet he trusts that a calm review of the Whole debate will tend to remove prejudices and misunderstandings, to diffuse light, and eventually to open the way for the cultivation of kindlier feelings and closer fellowship among the children of God. Amidst the din of theological warfare there may be found in good men, all over the Church, a yearning desire for unanimity and peace; and should this publication do nothing more than help to remove some of the causes by which real Christians are now separated, it will not have been written in vain. It is clear that, until the different sections of the visible Church are more nearly agreed respecting the framework of the house of God as delineated in the New Testament, they are not prepared.

What was not in the times Of the Apostles cannot be deduced from them. We say in Scotland, It cannot be brought but that is not in the hen but (not to insist on a liturgy, and things Of that kind) there was no such hierarchy, no such difference betwixt a Bishop and a Presbyter in the times Of the Apostles, and therefore it cannot hence be deduced for I conceive it to be as clear as if it were written with a sunbeam, that Presbyter and Bishop are to the Apostles one and the same thing no majority, no inequality or difference Of Office, power, or degree betwixt the one and the other, but a mere identity in all.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Church Government: A Treatise God's word is my text-book, and its lines referred to are quoted, for the most part, in full on these pages to save the reader time and trouble in pondering citations.i Certain words and phrases must be capital in such a book as this; they are used as keys continually to indicate the scope, design and distinctive nature of such a work. These are, in this case, representation, organization, private judgment, spiritual des potism, and the like. So, also, there must be some repetition of idea in the application of the same thought to another side of the main subject or a subsequent step in the same movement. Yet redundancy in this way will hardly be Observed when the reader's mind is fairly occupied with the consecutive drift of an argument.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Perpetual Government of Christ's Church They will haply save themselves, for that our bishops differ from the apostolic bishops in many things as namely, theirs succeeded in order, ours by electionk the dignity was in the apostles' times common to every presbyter in his course, now it is proper to onek; with them it dured for a sea son, as a week or a month, with us for life, except by just cause any deserve to be removedk lastly, they had but priority of place, and authority to moderate the meetings and consultings of the rest, ours have a kind of impery over their fellow-presbyters k.

He will take this opportunity of address: ing a few remarks to those, Who, believing, Episcopacy to have existed universally throughout the whole Christian World, from the time of the Apostles till the time of Calvin, yet nevertheless do resist the same, for reasons which it is somewhat difficult to state, and certainly much more difficult to appreciate. The sum and substance of their ideas, however, generally amount to this, that Chlu'ch Government is a mere matter. Of form, and that people may, without any impropriety, adopt that system With which their fancy may be best satisfied, or which may have the advantage ofbeing sanctioned and established by the Government under which they live. Such being the case, it may be worth While to shew that. Such 'a conclusion is perfectly unwarranted by e found either in reason or in revelation.

Thus far I have pursued the path of abstract reasoning, and endeavoured to examine some of the moral laws of the connection between the Church and the State, with the aid of occasional illustrations from events. I now come to follow, with more of detail, and with an attempt at method, the line of historical development; and by exhibiting, at least in a rude sketch, the actual course of the principle of national religion, since it has approached to its critical periods, in our own country, to pave that way which ought to join the region of theory with the arena of practical life.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Discourse of Church Government: Wherein the Rights of the Church and the Supremacy of Christian Princes Are Vindicated and Adjusted It mil be perceived from the title page of the work, and from a few remarks in the last chapter of it, that the learned author contemplated his subject, in reference not only to what he deemed correct principles of ecclesiastical government, but also to the constitution of the country of which he was a subject. The American reader will be aware, concerning the very small portion of the book which has a bearing on the latter point, that it is irrelative to the concerns of any ecclesiastical body in this country; there being no establishment of any particular church, by the laws of any state or by the union. But it was thought not proper now to edit the book in any other form than that in which it was originally given to the public by the author, who afterwards filled the first station in the church of England.

This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Religion and the Law of Church and State and the Supreme Court The election of a Catholic as President of the United States and the excitement over the proposed national aid-to-education bills have raised the debate over the proper relationship between church and state, God and Caesar, religion and law, to an unprecedented crescendo in this country. The subject is hardly a new one. Probably in prehistoric times, as among primitive peoples today, frequent power conflicts arose between the medi cine man and the chief. Certainly the problem was known to the Greeks and the Romans, though merger of the contestants frequently muted the issues. It provided the dominant theme for six hundred years of European history. The very slow development of the notion of religious toleration and the absence of any notion of separation of church and state in the English speaking world outside of America, both before and after the American Revolution, amply demonstrate the continued vitality of the problem, with dimensions until now unknown in America. Thus, for example, it may surprise some that, by law, religious qualifications for public office in England continued late into the nineteenth century. And perhaps equally disquieting is the fact that the ultimate arbiter of Anglican church doctrine is, even today, not any ecclesiastical authority but the English Parliament, most of whose members are not actively affiliated with the Anglican church.
