It fully emancipated itself from the bondage Of its master, who had become an ambitious oppressor, and had made every effort to suppress all independent attempts to secure eccle siastical, theological, and scientific freedom - all movements in favour Of evangelical reforms.

The development Of Christianity was impelled in the ancient Church by tradition.
