Ch. 4 Causes of
§.6. Practice Scoticé

§.6. Practice Scoticé
1
On this as on other subjects
Scotch differs from English
Church as light from
darkness. p.1
2
The causes already shewn
by way of contrast. p.1
3
Anglicé the procedure
technical, judicatory,
single seated — In addition
to the odium is vexation,
and expence, to
the duration and extent
of which, no limit is assignable;
to quiet prosecutors
zeal and throw
a shield over transgression.
The Judge, a personage who
is never seen but as Judge.
p.1
4
Scoticé the judicatory
many seated — composed
somewhat in the manner
of a medialate Jury, partly
of clerks, partly laics
under the name of Elders.
Elders mostly more than
Priests, the lay members
united in interest with
the sufferers from any
unfitness of priest. The
clerks, of the same interest
with the accused, but
the shame if fixed on him
is reflected on themselves
as often as he seats himself
with them. —
Procedure natural. All
due tenderness but no
hope of acquittal from
nullities or quibbles. p.2
5
So it happens that Anglicé
and Scoticé deprination
is alike sure — The causes
differ —
Scoticé the rareness of
transgression,
Anglicé the almost unpunishableness
of it — &
in case of neglect of duty
it's being completely unpunishable.
p.3
§.6. Practice Scoticé
6
Anglicé the only cause
of removal frequent —
is migration, of which
one mode is, promotion
Episcopalicé translocation.
Scoticé all migration
extremely rare. p.4
7
Shown suprá the more
frequent and desired
migration is, the lower
the perfection likely to
take place in the performance
of the duties of the
function. p.4
8
Anglicé, benefices are
changed for others more
convenient to both parties,
— game is more plentiful
— the hounds better, — Company
better, better balls
— more beauties or
fortunes. p.4
9
In case of promotion
if maugre dispensation
&c the old benefice cannot
be kept, it is parted
with for a better. p.4
