Excerpt from Thoughts on the Mixed Character of Government Institutions in Ireland: With Particular Reference to the New System of Education The history of the world furnishes abundant ex amples of the operation of this principle. On the introduction of Christianity, no result probably was farther from the minds of its first promulgators than obtaining any share in the government of the Roman empire. The very utmost that they aspired to was toleration, or even permission to live in peace without any law for their security. Yet, when the Christian Body attained to sufficient strength and in uence in the empire, it, as a natural consequence, seated itself on the throne of power. Such, precisely, was the effect of the Reformation. In every country in which the great mass of the people embraced the reformation, the reformers obtained possession of the government; no enactments, however strong, could secure to the members of the Church of Rome that authority which they conceived of right to belong to them.
