§.1. Abstract fitness
Part 2. Highest how produced
1
This much as to what
may be, — now, what
ought to be. p.1
2
The sense of responsibility,
the guardian
of all virtue — A
man the more virtuous,
the more vivid
his sensibility
in this respect. p.1.
3
Cæteris paribus a
mans sense of reponsibility
will be
more acute, the higher
the degree of actual
responsibility.
p.1
4
The quantity and
amount of correspondent
punishment
or censure
being given, responsibility
is in the joint
ratio of it's propinquity
and certainty
of punishment.
p.1.
5
Propinquity and certainty
will depend
(ut supra) on the constitution
and procedure
of the responsibility-
preserving
judicatory. p.2.
6
Among established
churches, in case of
the Church of England,
responsibility is minimized
— in the
Church of Scotland
maximized. p.2.
7
In non-established
churches, the degree
and sense of responsibility
is higher than
they can be in any
establishment. p.2
8
If the advantage be not on
this account, clearly on
the side of non-established
Churches, it may be, because
this responsibility has operated
to bad purpose, whereas
in the Church of Scotland
such a result is neither actual nor probable. p.2.
