Leadership is my strength and security.
My heart trusts what's best for maturity.
I am helped by faith. My heart exults.
My song gives thanks. It calms the tumult.
I will respect that which is worthy by faith.
Attempts to damage will be corrected with grace.
Family will be blessed for the human race.
He is the refuge in deliverance from evil.
The anointed are saved by divine grace
to shine as light for your place in space.
You were without God in the world of relation
before the world was seen as an act of creation.
Different groups have found peace in the Christ of Jesus.
Hostility has been reduced by his sacrifice to induce belief in us.
He was resurrected to raise faith in his body.
We are the world that aspires to be godly.
The highness of the royal call to service in Christ
lifts the individual into personhood with the height
of insight.
Save your people. Bless your inheritance.
Let your relevance find reverence in evidence.
If the house is worthy of respect,
let your peace rest with all that is correct.
If it is not worthy of your consent
let it suffer correction until it has met respect.
When an inference is falsely derived
it is called an error of thought in mind.
To treat the error as truth is an absurdity
that could cause an emergency
in your mental circuitry.
Absurdity results from a lack of method
in the definition of words for a protected progression.
Words are the fruits in the tree of knowledge.
Meaning is inferred as logic or symbolic.
You can disagree with the utility of happiness in two ways.
Disagreement can be constant as in the ascetic always
or it can be occasional as with a maze of games.
Find agreement in essential things
for the consistency that the constant brings.
The Constitution is a record of liberty in law
that lends a sense of measure to the public draw.

Eph. 2:12,14
Remember that you were at that time without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenant of promise. You had no hope. You were without God in the world.
Christ is our peace; in his flesh he has made both groups into one.
He has broken down the dividing wall, that is, the hostility between us.

Thomas Hobbes
Leviathan
1651
Text
"...when we Reason in Words of generall signification, and fall upon a generall inference which is false; though it be commonly called Error, it is indeed an ABSURDITY, or senseless Speech. For Error is but a deception, in presuming that somewhat is past, or to come; of which, though it were not past, or not to come; yet there was no impossibility discoverable...
"The first cause of Absurd conclusions I ascribe to the want of Method; in that they begin not their Ratiocination from Definitions; that is, from settled significations of their words: as if they could cast account, without knowing the value of the numerall words, One, Two, and Three."

Principles of Human Knowledge
1710
Text
"I shall be sure to get clear of all controversies PURELY VERBAL--the springing up of which weeds in almost all the sciences has been a main hindrance to the growth of true and sound knowledge...we need only draw the curtain of words, to hold the fairest tree of knowledge, whose fruit is excellent, and within the reach of our hand.
"Whoever therefore designs to read the following sheets, I entreat him to make my words the occasion of his own thinking, and endeavour to attain the same train of thoughts in reading that I had in writing them. By this means it will be easy for him to discover the truth or falsity of what I say. He will be out of all danger of being deceived by my words, and I do not see how he can be led into an error by considering his own naked, undisguised ideas."

Principles of Morals and Legislation

Text
"A principle may be different from that of utility in two ways: 1. By being constantly opposed to it: this is the case with a principle which may be termed the principle of asceticism. 2. By being sometimes opposed to it, and sometimes not, as it may happen: this is the case with another, which may be termed the principle of sympathy and antipathy."

Voltaire had stated that the Holy Roman Empire was not holy, Roman or an empire.
The empire wasn't defined as catholic, apostolic or christian either. Why was it called the Holy Roman Empire? The simple answer was that it wasn't just Christian. It wasn't just Catholic. It was monotheistic for simple moral expression in public.
The Latin read Sacrum Romanum Imperium. It was used to describe the varying complex of lands in western and central Europe ruled over first by Frankish then by German kings for 10 centuries (800–1806).
My study of the bible has led me to theorize that Vespasian and Josephus had agreed to elevate a relatively unknown monotheistic sect in the Roman empire to the status of the official faith for the realm. This hypothesis was drawn from the careful consideration of the relation between the scriptures, Josephus, classical literature and Roman history.
While Christianity eventually became the official state religion in the 4th century, the designation of Holy Roman was intended to imply what is referred to as common law in the UK and the US. It was no small accomplishment that the pope and the college of cardinals had managed to sanctify the royalty for Europe in a way that suggested the existence of a unified collection of kingdoms as a 'holy' entity with a common law.
It is not difficult to imagine that the designation as Roman was intended to include other non-rebellious monotheistic and polytheistic sects. The competition between the kingdoms for the leadership position as the imperial leader both facilitated and hampered unity. The different languages at play in the competition was an inhibitor to unity as well.
The competition with the Ottomans and the revival of the classical literature in the Renaissance prompted a reconsideration of slavery with respect for republican government. Parliament had been designated as a legislative institution with the higher purpose of evaluating punishments for criminal activity in an empire. The issue was to prove more significant in that it had not been outlawed. Neither had the severity of punishments of crimes lesser than murder in offense been diminished.
The crucifixion of Jesus for having been declared a king by some of his followers didn't exactly read as a just punishment for the success of his ministry. He had not promoted insurrection. He didn't tell his followers to steal. He had advised his followers to pay taxes, to live justly and morally with mercy. He was not deserving of the tortured suffering that hanging on a cross entailed.
Slavery had been an issue for Cyrus with respect for his liberation of the captives from Babylon.
There was an indication that the captives would never be allowed to advance in Babylonian society or return to their homelands. A young king in a relatively unknown sect that worshiped the moon goddess Sin was appointed.
His regents had indicated a desire to expand the construction projects. The public didn't know what to expect, but Cyrus had organized an army that entered Babylon during the instability of the transition. He was declared a Christ by the Judaic community.
It is my belief that it was the reinstitution of slavery in addition to the Inquisition that prompted Martin Luther to protest indulgences as a sign of corruption in the empire. Slavery was more than a regressive policy. It signaled a return to the polytheistic republican government of Rome where slavery was used to compete with kingdoms for economic power.
Jan Huss had already perpetuated Wycliff's proposal that the Bible and liturgical services should be translated to the language of the people. It was reported that he had been put to death for his advocacy.
Latin was the language for the Church and the official communications of the empire. Colleges and universities had to teach the language for those who hoped to serve as officials of the Church or state.
Henry VIII had already had the Bible translated into English before James I, but it was translated again into the King James version.
British and Russian missionaries made a point of translating the Bible into the native language of the people whom they hoped to convert to Christianity as an emblem of the will to become civilized in the imperial enterprise that was no longer regarded as officially Roman.
The Puritans and the Calvinists made strong political campaigns to make Reformed Christianity the only uncorrupted religion for empire.
It became apparent to the young bishop Selwyn that communication with the natives would be necessary for progress by the time he was appointed to the mission in New Zealand in the 19th century. It was the most likely requirement for his appointment to the position.

London
The Frankfurt banker Nathan Mayer Rothschild arrived in London in 1798 and set up a banking house in the city. He had been given a large sum of money by his father, Amschel Mayer Rothschild.
The Rothschilds also had banks in Paris and Vienna. The bank financed numerous large-scale projects. Railways were financed around the world. Funding for the Suez Canal was organized.
The 19th century was the start of modern times. London was to become the world's largest city as the capital for the British empire. The population would grow from 1 million in 1800 to 6.7 million a century later.
The accessibility of London was transformed by the railways. A new network of metropolitan railways allowed for the development of suburbs in neighboring counties. Middle-class and wealthy people could commute to the center of the city. This spurred massive outward growth. Poor people were left to inhabit the inner city as as the wealthier classes emigrated to the suburbs.
The original Theatre Royal, Covent Garden was destroyed by fire on 20 September 1808. Most of the scenery, costumes and scripts were lost. Rebuilding began in December.
The Theatre Royal, Drury Lane was also destroyed by fire on 24 February 1809.
The new Covent Garden theater opened on 18 September 1809 with a performance of Macbeth. The increase in ticket prices caused riots that lasted for 64 days. LIttle damage was done to the theater.
The rioters protested the prices. They covered the theater with banners of slogans after half-price time. They called themselves the OP's, short for Old Pricers. The event came to be called the Old Price Riots. The prices were finally returned to what they had been.
Hampstead is an area in the north central part of London. It is known for its intellectual, liberal, artistic, musical and literary associations. Hampstead Heath is noteworthy as a large, hilly expanse of parkland. The area has some of the most expensive housing in the London area.
George Augustus Selwyn
George was born at Church Row, Hampstead. He was the son of William, a legal author, and Laetitia Frances Kynaston. He went to Great Ealing School at the age of 7. Great Ealing had a reputation as the best private school in England. The future Cardinal Newman and his brother Francis were among his schoolfellows.
He went to Eton College. Eton had been established by King Henry VI in 1440 as the sister to King's College, Cambridge. George distinguished himself as an athlete and scholar.
He became scholar of St John's College, Cambridge in 1827. He came out second in the Classical Tripos in 1831. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts () degree in the same year. He was awarded the Cambridge Master of Arts (MA Cantab) in 1834 and Doctor of Divinity (DD) in 1842. He was a fellow of St John's from 1833 to 1840.
Selwyn worked at Eton College after graduation from Cambridge. He was the assistant master and tutor to the sons of Edward Herbert, 2nd Earl of Powis. He was ordained a deacon in 1833 and a priest in 1934. He acted as curate to Isaac Gosset, the vicar of St John's, Windsor from 1833 until 1841.
An episcopal council held at Lambeth had recommended the appointment of a bishop for New Zealand in 1841. Charles James Blomfield, Bishop of London, offered the post to Selwyn. He was willing to learn the language of the people to preach the gospel.
Bishop Selwyn was consecrated at Lambeth on 17 October 1841. He embarked for his new missionary diocese on 26 December.
He appointed William Charles Cotton as his chaplain. The 23 member missionary party set sail from Plymouth late in December 1841 on board the barque Tomatin. A barque is a three masted sailing vessel.
The missionaries brought various animals and four hives of bees in addition to their luggage. Selwyn studied the Māori language with the help of a Māori boy returning from England on the outbound voyage. He was able to preach in that language on his arrival. He also acquired enough seamanship to enable him to be his own sailing master among the dangerous waters of the Pacific. The Tomatin arrived in Sydney in April 1842.
The boat hit a rock on landing. Some of the party, including Selwyn and Cotton, set sail for New Zealand on the brig Bristolian on 19 May. They arrived in Auckland on 30 May. They spent some time as guests of Captain William Hobson, the first Governor of New Zealand. Selwyn and Cotton set sail on 6 June on the schooner Wave to visit the mission stations on the Hauraki Gulf. They moved north to the Bay of Islands. Selwyn arrived on 20 June.
Selwyn clashed with Archdeacon Henry Williams, the leader of the Church Missionary Society (CMS) in New Zealand. Land purchases by Williams became controversial at the time of the Flagstaff War. The flagstaff had been given to the British as a gift after the Treaty of Waitangi had been signed on 6 February 1840.
Feelings of distrust were stirred up among the Maori regarding the meaning of the treaty. The Maori felt that they had signed a document that agreed to their independence. The taxation of the whaling industry cost one of their tribes revenue in lost trade. The first Maori War was called the Flagstaff War because it was fought after the gift had been chopped down.
Williams refused to give up the land that he bought during the war. He was dismissed from the CMS. Selwyn reconsidered the position he had taken. Williams was reinstated to the CMS after the bishop supported his return to membership in 1854.
The CMS missionaries held the low church beliefs that were common among Evangelical members of the Anglican Church. There was often a wide gap between the views of the CMS missionaries and the bishops and other clergy of the high church traditions of the Oxford Movement as to the form of ritual for religious practice.
Selwyn held high church (Tractarian) views although he appointed CMS missionaries to positions in the Anglican Church of New Zealand. William Williams was appointed as the first Bishop of Waiapu.
Selwyn managed to keep the confidence of both sides in the 10 year war between the Maoris and the European colonists. He ultimately secured the adoption of a Constitution that established the principle of full participation by Maori Christians at all levels of Church government at the first general synod of the Church in New Zealand in 1859.
Selwyn was pressured to accept appointment as Bishop of Lichfield in 1867. Reluctantly, he returned to England. He was consecrated the 91st Bishop of Lichfield on 9 January 1868. He paid a farewell visit to New Zealand later that year. He governed Lichfield till his death on 11 April 1878. He was 69 years old.
The presence of mind displayed by the man was extraordinary for missionary work. He developed a model for civil government with the constitutional organization for the Church. His work circumvented the difficulty that was incurred by static models of evangelical organization that didn't allow for the assimilation of natives into civilized culture.
The Maori had a viable invitation to work with the British government in New Zealand as members of the Church.
