10.Pre-Sinaitic derivation

Pre-Sinaitic derivation of also Ancient Britain’s Presbyterial Government Also, even the most rudimentary investigation of Celto-Brythonic and Anglo-Saxon ancient law and political history - soon brings to light that the time-honoured Anglo-British practice of dividing both church and state into ’tithings’ and ’fifties’ and ’hundreds’ etc., is derived (via also the New Testament Church) just like that of Exo 18:12-26f above from Old

Testament Presbyterianism. Such was derived ostensibly from the earlier Eldership of Heb 11:2-7 and Gen 24:2; Gen 50:7 and Exo 3:16. This was the pattern also in Britain, both in ancient times and during the middle ages. See the Early-Welsh commot or association of fifty; the cantred or group of hundred households; and the pen-cenedl or headman of the hundred. See too the Anglo-Saxon tythings or associations of ten commoners and tenmannetale or "ten men’s tallies" and the hundredmote or gatherings of the hundreds.

Traces of the above can still be seen even today - e.g., in the ’Chilton Hundreds’ etc. So too the ’hundredor’ jury system; the entire appeal process; and the system of graded Courts, both ecclesiastical and forensic. Deu 1:13-16; Deu 16:18; Deu 17:6-9; Deu 19:12-15f; Mat 18:15-20; 2Co 13:1f; 1Ti 5:19f; etc. See too Barrister Owen Flintoff’s Rise and Progress of the Laws of England and Wales (London: Richards & Roworth, Bell-Yard, Temple-Bar, 1840); and Sir William Blackstone’s 1765 Commentaries on the Laws of England (Chicago University Press, 1979 rep., I-IV).
