If the Clergy are not the very worst body of
the people, they have more and more merit: for the
tendency of their education is to make them so.

Subscription begins what ordination fixes finishes
sets mordants — superficial tint — character
Sand — Clay — or Brass — — dying in grain
Characters of Hypocrisy & dissimulation
Subscription traces in the young mind the characters
of Hypocrisy and dissimulation imbecillity and double dealing yet not
in such colours but that the free air of the
world in time may often bleach. It is ordination
which fixes and renders them indelible.+

Chamber's Dicty

And.Marvel on Milton's Par. Lost
[I liked his project, the success did fear]"
"Through that wide field how he his way should find
"O'er which lame Faith leads understanding blind."

How should that system of education inspire them
with a real against abuses in that system
in which every thing is abuse?

Parad. Lost B.8 185. 197
God hath bid dwell far off all anxious cares
And not molest us, unless we ourselves
Seek them with wandering thoughts, & notions vain.
But apt the mind, or fancy, is, to rove
Uncheck'd, & of her roving is no end:
Till warn'd or by experience taught, she learns,
That not to know at large of things remote
From use, obscure and subtile, but to know
That which before us lies in daily life
Is the prime Wisdom: what is more, is fume,
Or emptiness In Fume, or fond impertinence;
And renders us in things that most concern,
Unpractis'd, unprepared, & still to seek.
Ib. g. 1074 Which leaves us naked thus, of honor void
of innocence, of faith, of purity
Our wonted ornaments, now soiled and stained

SUBSCRIPT.

Discordance between the Scheme of Religious
Policy exemplified in Subscriptions, and the
Principles of the Political constitution.

That jumble of servility and independence
W supposes the same man at one time to ....
at another time to .....


Keep thy own secret, and who shall get it from
thee? Be false, and prudent — [Hast thou
once been false, and wouldst thou escape
detection] [Wouldst thou yet appear true, after having
been false?] continue so Be false for ever — Persist in it —
Who shall contendest thou. Who shall testify against thee? Thy conscience?
Lull it asleep — give it opiates —prison it, smother
it — Does the worm gnaw within thee? A flea-bite Be
patient! While young and tender, thy frame
is irritable — Time will weave thee a lining
The of their
hearts are

of callous callosity ....... to sheathe thee from it's attacks teeth gripe.

Look at up to the venerable right Revd bench — Do their Chansos
Wheels run less smooth? Is their dejection worse? or
their countenances
Does Drummond's
claret taste to him
less delicious?

Keep thy intellectual powers weak — the state
of him whose judgment discernment is too vigorous for his
integrity, is an hectic fever.
Keep thy mind weak —
swaddle it up with a
suffer it not to exercise
itself in the
free fields of Sevinis

Necessitating
a habit of
falsehood


Disobey his parents, quarrel with embroil himself with his friends —
expose himself to be insulted by the scorn of the world, or it's
contemptuous pity.

A torpid superstition which benumbs + all the faculties
+ enervates
of the soul: which would persuade
men that it is criminal to examine, what
it is their highest interest to know.

Let it not be imagined that because a
set of dogmas is unintelligible, absurd, irrelevant
to practise, that therefore it is of
no importance to pay attention to them, &
that without any inconvenience the examination
of them may be discouraged. Absurd &
unintelligible let them be to ever so great a degree,
they become important and worthy of
attention, on that very score account if on another, because they
are consecrated and established


H. 9. 1055. Just confidence and native righteousness
And honor from about them, naked left
To guilty shame.
