CHAPTER II.

RELATION BETWEEN THE SPIRITUAL AND THE CIVIL POWERS AFTER CHRIST.

1. _The Spiritual Power in its Source and Nature._

The Spiritual Power not only allied but subordinate to the Civil throughout the Gentile world at the death of Christ, 70 1. Its independence in Israel alone, as acknowledged by the people, a result of the creation of the Aaronic priesthood, 72 Special offices of the High Priest, 73 2. The part of the High Priest through the whole history from Moses to Christ, 75 3. The actual jurisdiction of the High Priest under the Roman Empire, 77 4. The High-priesthood and the system of worship over which it presided viewed as a prophecy and preparation for Christ, 80 Bearing of the High-priesthood to Christ at His coming, 82 The undisputed circumstances of Christ's death, 83 Extreme antecedent improbability of what followed, 84 Its dependence upon a supernatural and miraculous fact, 85 As the Race springs from Adam in Paradise, so the Spiritual Power from Christ at His Resurrection, 86 The inward cohesion of Priesthood, Teaching, and Jurisdiction, 87 The two forces of the Primacy and the Hierarchy from the beginning, 90 The unity and triplicity of power in the regimen of the Church an image of the Divine Unity and Trinity, 92

2. _The Spiritual Power a Complete Society._

The supernatural society exists for a supernatural end, 93 To which the present life is subordinated, 94 And which is beyond the provision of temporal government, 95 Analogy between the Two Powers, 96 Complete philosophical basis on which the Spiritual Power rests, 98 How the inward life which it imparts is united with the Person of Christ, 99 From whom, in worship, belief, and conduct, the Christian people derives, 101 The King and the Kingdom not of this world but in it, fulfilled in thirteen particulars, 103 1. A kingdom ruling all the relations of man Godward, 103 2. Having an end outside this life, 103 3. Deriving all authority from Christ as Apostle and High Priest, 103 4. Producing its people from its King, 103 5. Imparting grace from the King in its sacraments, 104 6. Transmitting the King's truth by the order of its regimen, 104 7. Having a complete analogy with civil government, 104 8. Fulfilling man's need of supernatural society, 105 9. Generating an universal law for all relations of public and private life, 105 10. Possessing independence of the Temporal Power, 106 11. Not limited in space, 106 12. Not limited in time, 107 13. A kingdom of charity through union with its King, 107

3. _Relation of the Two Powers to each other._

Principles which ruled the relation between the Two Powers before Christ, 108 A new basis given to the Spiritual Power by Christ, from which every relation to the Temporal Power springs, 110 1. All Christians subject to the Spiritual Power, 112 2. And likewise to the Temporal Power as God's Vicegerent, 112 3. The relation between the Two Powers intended by God is amity, 114 4. A separate action of the Two Powers, without regard to each other, not intended, 115 5. Persecution of the Spiritual by the Temporal not intended, 119 6. Contrast between human kingdoms and the divine kingdom, 120 The _end_ the ground of the subordination of the one to the other, 122 Doctrine of St. Thomas to that effect, 123 The indirect power over temporal things, 124 Sum of the foregoing chapter; Orders of Nature and Grace, 125 Co-operation of the Two Powers as stated by St. Gregory VII., 126 The image of marriage, as describing the ideal relation and the various deflections from it, 128
