[315] “The legislation of Justinian, as far as it was original, in his Code, Pandects, and Institutes, was still almost exclusively Roman.  It might seem that Christianity could hardly penetrate into the solid and well-compacted body of Roman law; or rather the immutable principles of justice had been so clearly discerned by the inflexible rectitude of the Roman mind, and so sagaciously applied by the wisdom of her great lawyers, that Christianity was content to acquiesce in these statutes, which she might despair, except in some respects, of rendering more equitable.”—­Milman, Latin Christianity, Vol.  II. p. 11.

[316] See Ranke, History of the Popes, Chap.  I., where he says that the Roman Empire gave its outward form to Christianity (meaning Latin Christianity), and that the constitution of the hierarchy was necessarily modelled on that of the Empire.
