Excerpt from A Theological Dictionary, Vol. 2 of 2: Containing Definitions of All Religious Terms
Legend, originally a book, in the Rumish church, containing the lessons that were to he readin divine service: from hence' the word was applied to the histories of the lives of sa1nts,hecause chapters were read out of them at matins; but as the golden legend, compiled by James de Varase, ahouttthe year 1290, contained m it several ridiculous and romantic stories, the word 1s now used by Protest ants to s1gnify any incredible or inauthentic narrative. Hence, as Dr. Jortin observes, we have false legends concerning the miracles of Christ, of his apostles, and of an cient hristians; and the w riters of these fables had, in all probability, as good natural abilities as the disciples of Christ, and some of them wanted neither learning nor craft; and yet they betray them Selves by faults against chronolo gy, against history, againstman mm and customs, against mora lity, and against probability. A. Liar of this kind can never pass undiscovered; but an honest re later' of truth and matte'r of fact: is safe: he wants no artifice, and fears no examination.

Excerpt from A Theological Dictionary, Vol. 2 of 2: Containing Definitions of All Religious Terms
Labadists were so called from their founder John Labadie, a native of France, He was originally in the Romish communion; but leaving that, he became a member of the reformed church, and performed with reputation the ministerial function in France, Switzerland, and Holland. He at length erected a new community, which resided successively at Middleburg, in Zealand, Amsterdam, Hervorden, and at Altona, where he died about 1674. After his death, his followers removed their wandering community to Wiewert, in the district of North Holland, where it soon fell into oblivion. If we are to judge of the Labadists by their own account, they did not differ from the reformed church so much in their tenets and doctrines as in their manners and rules of discipline; yet it seems that Labadie had some strange notions. Among other things, he maintained that God might and did, on certain occasions, deceive men; that the faithful ought to have all things in Lam common; that there is no subordination or distinction of rank in the true church; that in reading the scriptures greater attention should be paid to the internal inspiration of the Holy Spirit than to the words of the text; that the observation of Sunday was a matter of indifference; that the contemplative life is a state of grace and union with God, and the very height of perfection.
Laity, the people as distinguished from the clergy. See Clergy.
Lama-Grand, a name given to the sovereign pontiff or high priest of the Thibetian Tartars, who resides at Patoli, a vast palace on a mountain near the banks of Barampooter, about seven miles from Lahassa. The foot of this mountain is inhabited by twenty thousand lamas, or priests, who have their separate apartments round about the mountain, and according to their respective quality are placed nearer or at a greater distance from the sovereign pontiff.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of religious movements and figures, offering a comprehensive overview of key historical figures and the unique communities they formed. The author explores the origins and practices of various religious groups, including the Labadists, who broke away from the Roman Catholic Church in the 17th century and established their own distinctive community, characterized by a shared lifestyle and unconventional beliefs. We are also introduced to the powerful institution of the Grand Lama, the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism, and the complex social and religious structures that surround this figure. The author examines the concept of religious authority, and the complex relationship between spiritual and temporal power, within the context of Buddhism and Christianity. The book reveals the intricate tapestry of religious thought and practice that has shaped the world, providing valuable insights into the historical and cultural context of key religious traditions.
