In my view, the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed... No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people. Preface to 1828 Dictionary

PAR'AGRAPH, n. [Gr. a marginal note; to write near or beyond the text; beyond, and to write.] A distinct part of a discourse or writing; any portion or section of a writing or chapter which relates to a particular point, whether consisting of one sentence or many sentences. A paragraph is sometimes marked, but more generally, a paragraph is distinguished only by a break in the composition or lines.
PAR'AGRAPH, v.t. To form or write paragraphs.
Originally, a marginal mark or note, set in the margin to call
attention to something in the text, e. g., a change of subject;
now, the character ¶, commonly used in the text as a reference
mark to a footnote, or to indicate the place of a division into
sections.
* This character is merely a modification of a capital P (the initial of the word paragraph), the letter being reversed, and the black part made white and the white part black for the sake of distinctiveness. A distinct part of a discourse or writing;
any section or subdivision of a writing or chapter which relates to a
particular point, whether consisting of one or many sentences. The
division is sometimes noted by the mark (?), but usually, by beginning
the first sentence of the paragraph on a new line and at more than the
usual distance from the margin.
A brief composition complete in one
typographical section or paragraph; an item, remark, or quotation
comprised in a few lines forming one paragraph; as, a column of news
paragraphs; an editorial paragraph.
To divide into paragraphs] to mark with the
character ¶.
To express in the compass of a paragraph;
as, to paragraph an article.
To mention in a paragraph or
paragraphs
