Excerpt from The Law of the Church: A Cyclopaedia of Canon Law for English-Speaking Countries Law and life are correlative terms. As God is the Author of life, so is He the Author of law By Me kings reign, and lawgivers decree just things (prov. Viii. This general truth is particularly seen in that Divine society, the mystical Body of Jesus Christ, which is quickened by the ever abiding presence-oi the Holy Ghost, Himself the Lord and Life-giver. From the earliest days of the Church, law has existed as essential to her existence. The keys of the kingdom, symbols of power, were of Old given to one who was hidden to confirm his brethren and to feed the ock. This charge to Blessed Peter was not only to teach infallibly, but also to govern with Divine authority the Church over which he was set as head. Thus, we see him, after the Ascension, standing up in the midst of the disciples and pre siding over the election of Matthias, who was numbered with the eleven. The Prince of the Apostles exercised jurisdiction by that first sermon on the Day of Pentecost when he preached Jesus of Nazareth, a Man approved of God as both Lord and Christ; and he opened the Church by baptism on that same day to 'about three thousand souls.'
