Popery is a double thing to deal with, and claims a twofold power, ecclesiastical
and political, both usurped, and the one supporting the other.-JoaN MILTON.
 There was no usurpation so great as that of the Romans, who usurped the Em-
pire; neither do I exempt from this rule the priesthood, whose violence is double,
inasmuch as it is doubled in holding men under corporeal and under spiritual
authority.-FaNors GUIcranorm.
