2. Англиканство было с самого начала самым раболепным и усердным слугою угнетения, старавшимся с помощью светской власти и посредством пышной торжественности достигнуть того же положения, которого достиг католицизм в Европе. Оно при каждом трудном случае обращалось к помощи государственной власти.
2. Anglicanism was from the beginning at once the most servile and the most efficient agent of tyranny.

Faithful to these two sentences; Tolstoy has 'servant of oppression' for 'agent of tyranny' and 'at every difficult occasion' for 'on every occasion'. Lecky's own two sentences are printed here.
Translation note. Tolstoy kept the author’s words closely, so the author’s own English is printed here (ruling 1); Tolstoy’s Russian, translated, is in the source panel. Lecky’s British spelling is kept, as his.
