9 March 1813
Church

III Topics
Ch. 15. Ceremonies

1
Decency the alledged
end of this pantomine.
p 1

2
Various words employed
by folly and imbecility
to screen their regulations
from scrutiny.
Good order, one, decency
another. p 1

3
Utility to clear a word
for their purposes —
look at the pleasures
procured or preserved,
the evils prevented,
the memento included
in the word useful.
Utility the quality
by which a thing
is rendered useful —
i.e. it's evil's minimized
it's good maximized. p.1

3
By evil and good, understand
physical
do. for without them
moral do would be a
jest. p.1.

4
Order the word of all
others — applicable to
every thing established
— to human sacrifices,
to corruption
of blood — by which, beggary
is inflicted on
the posterity of those
who in case of a disputed
succession have
taken the wrong side.
p.2.

5
"Order" — a good thing
in family management,
accounts &c. &c.
p 2

6
By order when accompanied
by marks of
approbation, good order
understood of course.
The order is such as
seems good to those in
power — whose wisdom
and goodness, who shall
deny

7
Decency another
word of the same
family employed
to the same purpose
Order applied to all
purposes, sacred &
prophane — Decency
by the sub-tyrants
of Elizabeth and those
under Chas 2, to sacred
things alone
p.3

8
Decent (becoming
Anglicé) that which
seems so to the best
judges. Can any
loyal subject doubt
who is the best judge?
Who but the fountain
of all honour by whose
appointment anything
becomes not
only decent, but illustrious.
Ex. gr. the
robe of the Judge —
the sword of the Knight
— the Bishops lawn.
p.3.

9
The free and enlightened
have one vocabulary,
tyrants and
their dupes, another.
The first — Pain —
pleasure — happiness,
unhappiness — the
other — order, decency
fitness, congruity &c
p.4

10
The language of
the first gives in
instruction and invites
scrutiny — The language
of tyrants
gives no instruction
and prevents any.
p.4

11
Utility with it's
quasi-conjugates
the language of
those who wish to
enlighten — decency
order &c. that of
those who strive
to corrupt the House.

(a)
Right, wrong, fit
unfit — proper &c.
themselves right
or wrong &c. as referred
to as independant
standards,
or referred to the
standard of utility.
p.5

Employed by the
ruling few as independant
standards
they are the language
of tyranny
& self conceit. p.5

Expediency synonimous
when rightly
used — to utility,
yes, to some it is
odious. p.5.
