Church

Anti Topics
2 Principles
Ch. 3. Abuse

1

1
Supposition announced
at the outset of this work.
Imperfection in the system
in question at least possible.
and hence possibly, of change
being desirable. — p.1

2
True that the contrary
as seen below is the supposition
on which the system
is founded & conducted
— which is consistent
with truth, materials
for judging will by that
time be brought to view.
p.1

3
True also that "excellent"
the term as per advertisement
applied to it by
the Bench of Bishops. —
But excellent implies
not perfection — but
only that some other object
of the same kind
is less good — It may
thus be ever so bad, so
some other be worse
p.1

4
Whether any thing can
be shewn worse on any of
the points touched on, is
a question, which after
a review of the whole system
piece by piece, will
be proposed to the reader.
p.2

5
Be that as it may,
negative has been put
on perfection of the establishment
by Parliament,
of which Bench
of Bishops is but a part —
viz. by changes effected
& others proposed, of
which a sketch at the
end — p.2.

6
Inefficiency & mischievousness
the heads of imperfection
— inefficiency
as to production of good
aimed, or professed to be
aimed at mischievousness
viz. by production of evil
intended to be avoided or
not — p.3

7
Imperfection may here
be considered as comparative
or positive — positive
with reference to the end
aimed at — comparative
with reference to other establishments
directed
to the same ends. p.3

8
Expence, which though
necessary to greater good
— is an evil, might be
considered as included
under mischievousness —
but being so distinct, &
productive moreover of
inefficiency, it demands
a separate head —
p.3

Profuseness the quality
an establishment may be
charged with if its expence
be excessive. p.3.

9
Inefficiency, mischievousness,
— profuseness —
& in what degree?
the establishment in
question is chargeable
with these, reference
being made to the systems
in competition
with it — may be seen
in the several chapters
below. p.4
