§.4. Post Reformation

1
When Reformation
took place, the lot of
the labouring priest
assumed a different
face, according as the
reform issued from
the palace or the parsonage.
p.1

2
Where as in France
and other continental
countries the reformation
originated
with the priests
and people, Discipline
assumed every where
the perfect form (allowing
for the difference
between established
and non-established
churches,) exemplified
in the Church of Scotland.
p 1.

3
In England, the throne
was the fountain whence
reform dribbled. The papal
abominations which
ministered not to the
interest of the monarch
were here done away
while with the exception
of those which
could not be kept on
foot without breach
of principle, all the
power of the pope was
tranferred to the King.
p.2.

4
Reduced to compleater
subjection than
when under two masters,
Bishops were
preserved. Elizabeth
and Henry found them
a manageable engine,
and each taken separately,
not an unwitting
instrument.
p.2.

5
With the Bishops
were preserved, Deans
Canons, Chancellor,
Archdeacons, and their
substitutes and appendages
— all of them of
no use, because in Scotland
the business is
better done without
them. p.3.

§.4. Post Reformation

6
Judicatories as under
papacy. p.3

7
Thus to all good
purposes, responsibility
remained as
weak as under the
spiritual pope. p.3.

8
Thus was the responsibility
at first, &
so it remains. p.3.

8
As to bad purposes,
strong as the responsibility
is at present
— it is weaker than
in the times of Henry
or Elizabeth.
p.4

9
To change belief, as
soldiers change positions,
by at word of
command, was at
that time, part of
the duty of a priest
from absurd to less
absurd, or back
again as the monarch
changed — As from the
throne, Bible succeeded
Bible, Liturgy,
Liturgy, so in the
pulpit, Subscriptions
succeeded subscriptions.
He was happy whose
non-conformity
was punished only
by deprivation
p.4.

10
Demonstrated by
the documents of
Strype and Burnet,
it may be all seen
in Neale — nothing
of it in Hume.
p.5

11
No better means for
chasing away necessity
could be found.
Under this discipline
was form'd
temp. Car.1. the
et cætera oath.
p.5.
