- SOCIAL ORDER & the GREAT CHAIN OF BEING
- The Great Chain of Being meant that the CHURCH was able to EXERT much authority over the people
- The Great Chain of Being is where EVERY MAN was BORN TO a SPECIFIC place in the STRICT HEIRARCHY of SOCIETY & to remain there
- Therefore, anyone who REBELLED AGAINST GOD was PUNISHED
- EMPHASISED those in AUTHORITY had the POWER for the GOOD of those below
- The concept was expressed in the CHURCH DOCTRINE
- It was TAUGHT as a NORMAL PART of the Church service
- The church AIDED the Crown in its endeavour to GOVERN & CONTROL the people
