[98] Except in the single passage "tell it unto the Church," which
is simply the _extension_ of what had been commanded before, i.e.,
tell the fault first "between thee and him," then taking "with thee
one or two more," then, to all Christian men capable of hearing the
cause: if he refuse to hear their common voice, "let him be unto
thee as a heathen man and publican:" (But consider how Christ
treated both.)

[99] One or two remarks on this subject, some of which I had
intended to have inserted here, and others in Appendix 5, I have
arranged in more consistent order, and published in a separate
pamphlet, "Notes on the Construction of Sheep-folds," for the
convenience of readers interested in other architecture than that of
Venetian palaces.

[100] Not, however, by Johnson's _testimony_: Vide Adventurer, No.

[102] Of course mere multiplicability, as of an engraving, does not
diminish the intrinsic value of the work; and if the casts of
sculpture could be as sharp as the sculpture itself, they would hold
to it the relation of value which engravings hold to paintings. And,
if we choose to have our churches all alike, we might cast them all
in bronze--we might actually coin churches, and have mints of
Cathedrals. It would be worthy of the spirit of the century to put
milled edges for mouldings, and have a popular currency of religious
subjects: a new cast of nativities every Christmas. I have not heard
this contemplated, however, and I speak, therefore, only of the
results which I believe are contemplated, as attainable by mere
mechanical applications of glass and iron.

[103] I shall often have occasion to write measures in the current
text, therefore the reader will kindly understand that whenever they
are thus written, 2 ,, 2, with double commas between, the first
figures stand for English feet, the second for English inches.

kind friend,
