§.4. Past
Regular Duties
Delay Uncertainty vexation and expence expences for the sake
of the profit of which it is the source — the three other
plagues in the character of efficient causes of or in-eff
with the expences such are the ends to which under objects to the promotion of
the management of the reapers of the profit the course
of the law has been directed in all reigns. Sinecurism,
Non-residence, and Pluralism — such these
were among the the only objects that belong to the present objects to the promotion of which the
settlement of the Church affairs was directed in the brilliant reign
in which it was concluded formed, of Elizabeth:] Salvation of souls — preservation of
morals — sparing of subject purses — all these
were objects of equal contempt to the her selfish despotism
of Elizabeth. Depredation not commissible but by through the
instrumentality of Parliament was abstained from
But because through Parliament depredation could
not be attempted, but unless power were sacrificed or
endangered. Despotism Power in the hands of a subordinate
or despotism at the hands power at the commands of a despotic superior:
wealth opulence in the hands by which it is
received is wealth opulence in the hands by which it
is conferred: [of power the efficiency effect is increased by
opulence: of power and opulence the effect is increased
by dignity:] the power and and opulence of the patron of a
benefice is as the value of the benefice: the value
of a benefice is in the direct ratio of the quantity
of wealth and in the inverse ratio of the quantity
of the labour as well as in the direct ratio of the quantity
of the wealth attached to it. All this was perfectly
understood by Elizabeth: all this intelligence understanding was uniformly
acted upon by Elizabeth. that nursing mother of the Church of England.
