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

TEM'PLAR, n. [from the Temple, a house near the Thames, which originally belonged to the knights Templars. The latter took their denomination from an apartment of the palace of Baldwin II. in Jerusalem, near the temple.]
One of a religious and military order first
established at Jerusalem, in the early part of the 12th century, for the
protection of pilgrims and of the Holy Sepulcher. These Knights Templars,
or Knights of the Temple, were so named because they occupied an apartment
of the palace of Bladwin II. in Jerusalem, near the Temple.
* The order was first limited in numbers, and its members were bound by vows of chastity and poverty. After the conquest of Palestine by the Saracens, the Templars spread over Europe, and, by reason of their reputation for valor and piety, they were enriched by numerous donations of money and lands. The extravagances and vices of the later Templars, however, finally led to the suppression of the order by the Council of Vienne in 1312. A student of law, so called from having
apartments in the Temple at London, the original buildings having belonged
to the Knights Templars. See Inner Temple, and Middle Temple,
under Temple.
