When Terry Pratchett's novel Monstrous Regiment came out in 2003, I did a web search. On the first page I found reference to an old essay by John Knox, one of the founders of Calvinist, predestination, Scottish Protestantism. Terry Pratchett's book is a story about a literal military regiment with a set number of soldiers and officers. In the days of John Knox, regiment meant the same thing as regime or regimen. That is, a government. You can read his article here: The First Blast of the Trumpet against the monstrous regiment of Women. By reading this article you can clearly see that in 1558, the letter I and J were identical.
The second essay posted today is How Superior Powers Ought To Be Obeyed By Their Subjects: And Wherein They May Lawfully By God's Word Be Disobeyed And Resisted. Wherein also is declared the cause of all this present misery in England, and the only way to remedy the same. Written in Geneva in the year 1558 by Christopher Goodman. Christopher Goodman was a pastor at the same church as John Knox.
Both John Knox and Christopher Goodman were punished by the powers and authorities for the rest of their lives because of these two essays, both written in the year 1558.
The link to The Smoky God, by Willis George Emerson (1908) has now been fixed in the Reactor Core Reference Library.
