III
Conc
Ch. Remuneration
§. M

1
Out of the two defects
in the system of remuneration,
its defenders
make one argument
for it. They melt
down all the masses,
and ask, whether
the average is too great
— if not, the justification
they consider
compleat. p.1

2
They do this in imagination,
& then
argue on it as a
reality — & to this
groundless assumption
is reduced
their argument
p.1

3
The hotchpot is the
supposition on
which their defence
rests — Would they
consent to its being
realized? — No —
they know better.
p.1

4
Would not this equalization
except for
the purpose of the
argument, be odious
to them? In the sinister
interests of
themselves and
their predecessors
may be seen the
cause of the opposite
evils. p.2

5
If there be an excess,
it will hardly be
denied that the successors,
& predecessors
have had a sinister
interest in it. p.2

6.
Objector overpaid.
Conceditor. But in
the deficiency we
have no interest

J. B. — Negatur.
viewed in the whole
you have an interest
— It being
understood that
the community could
not be brought to
endure to make up
the deficiencies leaving
the excesses untouched.
You understand,
that the
deficiency cannot
be viewed without
the deficiency excess of the
other lots being
suggested as the
proper source to
supply it from.
The unity of interest,
so magnified
on other occasions
is not on the present
brought to nought.

8
The best thing for
you and your interests,
is well understood
to be, that
little, or if possible,
nothing should
be said, or thought
about the matter,
and thus is it, that
your noble and
right reverend
commiseration
for your poor brethren,
is prudently
silent. p.4

9
When the establishment
is glaringly
deficient in so essential
a point,
this vice by stopping
all exertion from
which other vices
might be corrected,
serves as a tower
of defence to all
abuse and imperfection.

10
Blindness and
silence the only
state of safety —
Silence, their Magnus
Apollo. p.5

11.
Want of Church
room a defect spoken
of, of late from
the same quarter
as above p.5

12
Not to any defect in
the establishment
or the instruction
given under it, is
the vice and immorality
to be attributed,
but to the impossibility
of partaking
of it's benefits.
p.5

13
Per §. 13. from the
defect of the establishment,
is to be looked
for the cause of the
preservation, if not
creation, of so many
evils. p.6.

13
Had the money
which is received
and extracted for
under pretence of
the advancement
of religion, been
applied to that,
instead of being
applied to the enjoyment
of a few
idlers, all complaint
of church room,
would never have
existed. p.6

14
In bosoms swelling
with pride of power
under pretence of
piety, so unconquerable
is the aversion
to the idea of putting
an end to the system
that they are forward
to declare, that the provision
of these alledged
necessaries to salvation
of souls is hopeless, not for
the present generation alone, but for several future ones.

15
Schoolmaster's pay
and schooling
school room for
religious schooling —
of neither of these is
there any want
among the Methodists
and Dissenters.
They come from
willing contributors
to an amount complained
of by Church
of Englandists. p.7.

16
What can have
hindered this money
which has been drawn
out in such plenty
among Dissenters,
flowing except in
such sparing
quantities under
Church of Englandism.
p.7

17.
Answer

On the part of the
people, persuasion
that the services were
not worth purchasing
at such a
price.

On the part of rulers
the persuasion that
endeavours would
be ineffectual to
their intended object
& effectual to draw
on the establishment
the so much dreaded
inspection. p.7
