Question. which
worst: Creeds or Subscription
Modes of declaration of persuasion, two: both of them
formal modes — Creeds or and Subscriptions: both of them formal
modes. Of these two instruments of mischief — (for
such surely they have been proved have they not been proved to be?) — which is the most
mischievous?

Per J.B.
bill being fit to be abrogated,
why enquire
which is worst?
But if, accordi in your view of the matter subject both are
bad - so bad that neither of them ought to be , in
the same view of the matter subject, what matters it which is the
worst? A question such as this - what use can it have in practice?
why introduce it here?

purest act most reformable
of the two established
Churches
the least pernicious
alone of the two
manufactories of
immorality state
has place

in which the need of reformation is so small, and at the
same time, the in which comparatively speaking so inconsiderable
the shape in which the exists, is at the same
time the least malignant.
