Page 485 - See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.
Page 104 - His remote and somewhat more indistinct vision was the foundation of a vast spiritual authority in the person of the Pope, who was to rule mankind by the consentient but subordinate authority of the clergy throughout the world.

Each in his separate sphere, the Pope above all and comprehending all, was to be sovereign arbiter of all disputes ; to hold in his...
Page 114 - Dunstan was, as it were, in a narrower sphere, a prophetic type and harbinger of Hildebrand. Like Hildebrand, or rather like Damiani doing the work of Hildebrand, in the spirit not of a rival sovereign, but of an ironhearted monk, he trampled the royal power under his feet. The scene at the coronation of King Edwy, excepting the horrible cruelties to which it was the prelude, and which belong to a more barbarous race, might seem to prepare mankind for the humiliation of the Emperor Henry at Canossa.

Page 93 - beloved brethren, that since the days of the blessed Leo this tried and prudent Archdeacon has exalted the Roman See, and delivered this city from many perils. Wherefore, since we cannot find any one better qualified for the government of the Church, or the protection of the city, we, the bishops and cardinals, with one voice elect him as the pastor and bishop of your souls.

There, all becomes ennobled and deified. The Christian orator, with his mastery over the minds of his...
