Two systems — the system of an establish, religion & do
of established do. Different qualifications — thence different pay adapted to
the two
VI Qualifications.
I. Present abstract utility. 1. The qualification in comparison of which
all others put together are as nothing is (appropriate) Zeal. Upon Zeal
the appearance of it depends the power of persuasion the efficiency of
the doctrine, viz. in the production of (adoptive) belief and consequent practice
2. Learning is but a remote cause of efficiency in the teaching. Learning
tends in conjunction with other qualifications to procure respect: respect, adoptive
belief. 3. Zeal i.e. apparent zeal, implies moral
qualification: learning to the highest amount may exist without any: witness
Porson, Beattie, &c. 4 Zeal (apparent) can never fail where power of appointment
and removal are both in the hands of the pupils. 5. In this case apparent
zeal is good evidence of real, the remuneration being such as without
real zeal (including the zeal-producing persuasion) no scarce any man would accept.
6. Acceptance of Appointment is proof of apparent zeal previous: continuance,
of persevering do.
II. Present practical utility. 1. Pay of change
II. Practice of earliest time. 1. Sole qualification necessary and professed,
zeal: the natural effect of faith produced by the observation or
report conduct of miracles. Production of faith according to believers.
do according to unbelievers. 2. Learning neither possessed nor necessary.
III. Practice of intermediate times. I. Pre reformational, various,
1. While the language in which the New Testament was written continued
in use, except reading and writing no learning was either necessary or useful to any body: useless in so far as acquaintance
with Hebrew (for the O. Testament) may be deemed so. When the
language in use was a different language, a translation became necessary.
The translation being presumed correct and compleat, no learning
was necessary to Parish Priests in general as such: only in cho for the
purpose of controversy with unbelievers (had there been any) or heretics
it became useful that a few should have that art of language-learning.
Post-Reformational,various. Late To a few in the character of
controversialists, more learning became necessary: viz. acquaintance
with the books of controversy on bills today.
IV. Practice Scoticé. 1 extensive and various learning universal — Causes Ex by efficiency
preliminary . 3 Causes of the efficiency, 1. Juddentorsis ex medistate.
2. Procedure public (natural?) II II Appearance of preliminary subjection to continued scrutiny of fit
persons: constantly co-ordinate,
occasionally sub-ordinate
4. Uses of the learning — 1. To ensure
fitness instead and in default of popular election and amotion. 2. To
secure reputation of fitness, thence respect, thence faculty of persuasion
of producing adoptive belief and conformable practice. Learning
is itself intellectual fitness: it is a natural cause and circumstantial
evidence of moral fitness, viz. by reason of the habits of reflection, and
abstraction from sensual and other purely pleasurable avocations.
C The necessity of or demand for Such qualifications is encreased by the Curatorial duties
peculiar to Scoticism in contradistinction to Anglicism.
