Synopsis
Excerpt from A History of Popery: Containing an Account of the Origin, Growth, and Progress of Papal Power; Its Political Influence in the European States-System, and Its Effects on the Progress of Civilization
The history Of the papal policy, is an emphatical comment on the aphorism, Honesty is the best policy; there was falsehood in the title Of the Romish bishops to power, but this might have been Corrected, if they had sunk the question of right, and rested their claim to presidency over the Christian Church, on a very Obvious expediency. Such a course would have forced the rulers to purity of action, the only means by which voluntary Obe dience can be rendered' permanent, and it would have ensured lasting dominion, because the allegiance Of the Christian community would be reasonable; in other words, every subject of the Church would feel, and be able to show, the benefits resulting from its dominion.
