Note 5 — EXPLANATIONS—REMARKS—ILLUSTRATIVE CITATIONS. (continued 2)
George Eliot translation
Very many Christians rejected the punishment of death, but other criminal punishments of heretics, such as banishment, confiscation—punishments which deprive of life indirectly—they did not find in contradiction with their Christian faith. See on this subject J. H. Boehmer, Jus. Eccl. Protest. l. v. Tit. vii. e.g. §§ i. 155, 157, 162, 163. ↑
