2. Where the mass of
patronage in the
hands of the Bishop
is so large as to admit
of his bestowing livings
on persons at large,
besides providing for
relations &c. A clergyman
unbeneficed
or sparingly beneficed,
is not out of the
sphere of his influence.
p.20
71 9.
3. But in the subordinate
clergy, there
will be many on
whom the influence
of the crown will
operate without need
of this medium. p.21

Of parochial benefices
alone are at the
disposal of the Chancellor
p.21

A Every member of
any family (peers for
instance) of which one
member partakes of
the spiritual loaves
and fishes, is bound
by the regal influence.
p.21.

Custom authorises
expectation of preferment
in every
inferior beneficed
clergyman. His hope
is in proportion to
his "interest." But no
member of the order
is so forlorn and abject
but may cherish hopes
from some future contingent
interest. p.22

Turn to Scotland.
No particle of corruption
by regal or other influence.
Benefices all parochial.

cause, but little of it can
arise here. [+]1 p.23.

and intellectual
improvement. p.24.
77.
Shown supra how
adverse to improvement
(Anglicé) not
only the ecclesiastical
but the rest of the
official establishments.
But the force of anti-
improving spirit
is greater with the
clergy. (The only consolation
is that they
are but 1/1000 of the
population. p.24
and in the rest their influence
is so small.

arrangement, all benefices
before below it (£150)
have been raised to 150£
per an. So that the
inconvenience is farther
reduced, if not annihilated.
