36. 20
Discarding the class
looked to for probity,
theory and experience
indicate the sad result.
p.10
37 21
Per Theory — pay
being fixt, it is the
interest of the workmen
to do as little
as possible, & it is
natural that they
should support
each other in pursuit
of this end p.10
38 22
Per Experience, for
efficiency of this
common interest
see non Residence
tables Anglicanicé.

Under Romanism
this with other evils
began and reached
an enormous height,
but in every council
it was matter of
complaint. Under
Church of Englandism,
how imperfectly,
if at all, this
defect is remedied
the facts made public
almost suffice
to shew — What is
wanting may be
had a any time, if
power consent. p.10
40. 24
In the case in question,
it is desirable that as
little power as the
service could admit
of, should be employed
p.11
41 25
By the constitution
of this judicatory,
the problem is solved.

§.5. Practice Anglicé
§.1. Abstract fitness
Part
42. 1.
Power is diminished
by
1 Publicity
2. By being made
— fractionary
3. — intermitting
4. — reciprocating
5. — by being shared
out among opposite
interests. p.11

Scoticé all these conditions
are united p.11.

This arrangement

For the fruit of it
compared with Church
of Englandism, turn
to the criminal calendars.
p.11

To condense the comparison
of the Churches
into the smallest
compass. p.12
46 2
Seen suprá that of
placing lay power
in sacerdotal hands
The ill effects are
1. Promotion of
persecution.
2. Obstruction of
improvement.
3. promotion of depredation.
4. Abstraction from
official duty.
5. promotion of pernicious
pride
6. Making priests
instruments of
sinister influence.
p 12.
47. 3
Where the persons
subject are of the
same order, the effects
are the same
in kind, tho' different
in degree. p.12
48 4
Under Anglicanism
they are not much approach but too near
short of to being at
their maximum.
49 5.
Scoticé at their
minimum. p.12
§.1. Abstract fitness

Mischief 1. Persecution.
This mischief has been
checked Anglicé by
external causes. p.13

Scoticé from the first
by the form of establishment.

Anglice temp. Cha's 1.
The king & Laud joined
to drive out of the
country all who
should think for
themselves — in principle
even laymen —
but the Clergy were
most obnoxious.
Secus Scoticé. p.13

Under Chas. 2. means
were taken for establishing
Church of
England in Scotland.

Whence this precaution?
Answer. — Power ad hoc
was 1 in suos & in laicos.
2. Secret. 3 Integral.
4. constant. 5. unreciprocationg.
6. and of course
not checked. p.13.
54.
2. Promotion of depredation.
Of this mischief, no
notable quantity
under the present
head. The power in
question is that
which members of
the priesthood exercise
over their fellows
and do not exercise
over laics. But under
establishments, and
that of England in
particular, no examples
present themselves
as worthy of notice in
a view so general as
the present. p.14
55 2
Laity a negative term
synonymous to non-
clergy — or productive
classes. Under an established
church, the
official persons with
the lawyers, form the
predatory classes. p.14
