Ch. 2 Duties
§.1.
Part 3. Proper Duties

Anti 1
6. Pastoral ignorance
— That deficiency
which has place in
the mind of a parish
priest, in so fars as
the state and condition
of his flock is
unknown to him.
p.7.

2
This — not of itself
a separate head of
transgression, & is
rendered mischievous
only by pastoral
idleness which is the
immediate cause
of all the evil produced
by either. By his
ignorance it is made
evident that that
which ought to have
been done by the
minister has not
been done. p.7.

3
The great field of
these transgressions
is duties of imperfect
obligation. These
the only duties to which
mind of any kind is
necessary, as all the
others are guided
by fixt form. p.8

4
Motion of the tongue
and body all that
is needful in the
performance of fixt
forms — all which
might be done by
automata as in
states of Germany
painted wooden
soldiers were used.
These were not adequate
substitutes as defence
was not served by it, but
by profitable priestlike
automata £250 each
will be saved, and edification
just as good as
before, as the evil accompaniments
per Paley will be avoided. p.88 9

Anti — 5.
Pastoral ignorance
spoken of as matter of
evidence. p.10

6
Scoticé Parishes 937,
among which there
were no priests unable
to give an ample
account of his charge
without pecuniary
emolument — witness
Sinclair's Scotland.
p.10.

7
Since the commencement
of that work
years, since the
completion have
elapsed. What, with
this pattern before
their eyes has, or could
be obtained from the
priests of the Church
of England! Only
the value of the shearings
of their flock.
This they must know,
but whether they are
willing to tell it, experience
will shew.
p.10.

7. Anti pastoral inefficiency:
i.e. absence
of appropriate active
talent.

Anti — 1
8. Pastoral dissipation.
This includes
in it's nature so
much pastoral
idleness — and operates
in disproof
of the appropriate
taste, & as an
obstacle to the acquirement
of active
talents. As involving
a breach of
professional duty,
it is pro tanto
disproof of the existence
of moral endowments.
p.11.

2
Any dissipation
if productive, is
productive of these
effects in the instance
of an official person
of this class (however
innoxious in
the case of any other
person) — being partly
noxious in itself,
partly evidentiary
of a thing
noxious also. p.12.

3
Needless to enumerate
the occupations coming
under the
head of dissipation
Among them would
be, not only the seeds
of vice — but perfectly
harmless occupations
(in person at large)
games of skill and
chance, sports, light
reading, gallantry &c.
To draw the line between
the harmless
and the mischievous
in the case of persons
at large is needless,
as all are mischievous
in the case of the professional
person. p.12.
