1
Before the system is
pronounced incorrigible
let us look for any remedy
which may render
distruction needless. p.1

2
1. Equalization of stipends.
2. Abolition of Sinecures
3. do of pluralities
4 Division of large parishes.
5. Union of small do
6. Enforcement of Residence

These being closely connected,
may be considered
at once. p.2

3
They belong alike to
a moderate & radical
reform. They all
have place Scotice. p.2

4
Abolition of Sinecures
the first step, as the underpaid
benefices are
numerous, and from
the Sinecures alone
should the augmentation
fund be formed. p.2

5
Residence enforced as Scoticé
excludes pluralities.
For bating sickness &c
his whole time is required.
p.2.

6.
Union of parishes only
in case of contiguous
parishes and such as that
when both are consolidated,
the distance from
the place of worship
may not deter the inhabitants
from attendance
The advantage is, augmentation
of stipends
the evil, inconvenience
to inhabitants. p.3.

7
Division é contra —
effects increase of service
and diminution
of the salary. p.3

8
Nothing more easy
than to enforce residence
if the legislators
desired it — Provisions
of detail would be necessary
to prevent
connivance or hardship
p.4

9
Jokes in abundance
might be manufactured,
but in matters
of such importance,
real wishers of good
are not to be deterred
by them. p.4

10
The existing demarcation
of parishes produced
by any thing rather
than convenience.
A Commission as formerly
Scoticé should
be made out; but any
one might in the mean
time with the advantage

paid to natural obstacles
— water; hills &c.
sketch them out in
his closet. p 4

11
The principle of pay

1. Only plausible reason
for plurality, insufficiency
of stipend. — but
as this is given as a
reason, plurality
should only
have place where this
fact has place.

Whatever the quantum,
plurality can
not be defended where
each of the benefices
is above that quantum.

2. Only a good reason
where residence of a
priest on the benefice
would not else have
place. p.5

13
This not the real
reason for attachment
to plurality else it
would have been set
up only in appropriate
cases. p.5.
