Ad ipsum fretum Herculis Hispaniae objacet Fessanum regnum, cujus caput Fez, urbs totius Barbariae princeps, ingens, opulenta, frequens, splendida ac magnificis superbisque aedificiis miranda. Tanger, Sebta, Arxilla, amplae ad fretum urbes, Hispanicae sunt ditionis. Regnum Maurocanum.
All this is what was meant by that Regnum Hominis, which, with a play on sacred words which his age did not shrink from, and which he especially pleased himself with, marked the coming of that hitherto unimagined empire of man over the powers and forces which encompassed him.
Nam quis alius noster est finis nisi pervenire ad regnum, cuius nullus est finis? In the formation of what we may call our historical mind namely, that modification of our animal and primitive outlook which has been produced by men of exceptional intellectual venturesomeness the Greeks played a great part.
I have also compared the translation in the two codd., Vercellensis and Veronensis, of the Old Latin in Bianchini's edition. In solitudinem procedit.... Detentus a turbis: Oportet me, inquit, el aliis civitatibus annuntiare regnum dei. Luke v. 42, 43: Ibat in desertum sertum locum ... et detinebant illum ne discederet ab eis.
The Sanctum Regnum is described as triangular in shape; there was no torch, no lamp, no fire; the floor and the ceiling were therefore not unnaturally dark, but an inexplicable veil of strange phosphorescent light was diffused over the three walls, the source of which proved on examination to be innumerable particles of greenish flames each no larger than a pin's head.
To the west was Regnum, Cissa's Ceaster, or Chichester, another of those fortresses which the provident and energetic Romans had established along the South Coast. One of Aelle's followers, named Boso, or Bosa, settled at the head of a branch of Chichester harbour, and, as in the case of his superior, Cymen, the place was named after him, as Bosenham, or Bosham. This was in the fifth century.
It is noticeable that Papias has some knowledge of Greek, for derivations in Greek letters occur, e.g. 'Acrocerauni: montes propter altitudinem & fulminum iactus dicti. Like Balbi, Papias travels outside the limits of a mere dictionary, and his interests are not restricted to theology. Aetas draws him into an account of the various ages of the world, regnum into a view of its kingdoms.
They were agents of the one divine commonwealth defenders of the Faith, who wielded the secular sword for the furtherance of the purposes of God. Thus there was one society, if there were two orders of ministering agents; and thus, though regnum and sacerdotium might be distinguished, the State and the Church could not be divided.
It is as though at Bosham we were able to catch a glimpse, as it were, of all that darkness out of which we are come by the guiding of a star. That Bosham was a harbour in Roman times, and that it had more than a little to do with the founding of Regnum, and the building perhaps of the Stane Street, I had long since convinced myself.
Hence little conception of the State or sovereignty or State law; but the universal society has nevertheless to be reconciled in some way with the existence of different kingdoms. Hence, again, no distinction of Church and State as two separate societies: these are two separate authorities, regnum and sacerdotium, but they govern the same society.
