HISTORY OF THE COUNTY OF WESTCHESTER.

Church is terrible indeed. " The violators of Church property," as old Spelman observes, " seldom escape punishment." A man has but a life interest in his estate. Over its possession after his death he has no right ; therefore, he has no right to threaten those who shall injure it, because they have done him no wrong. He must let that alone forever. His posterity must defend themselves. The curse of the then possessor may be formidable ; not that of one who is not possessor.

But, with respect to Church property, the case is different. The Church is a corporation, and a corporation never dies. The durability of her claim to any given property is commensurated with her existance, and that is forever. Her right, therefore, of defending that property exists also forever; because through her it is offered to Him of Whom, through all ages, " It is witnessed that He liveth."a
