§.1
1
All that is to be done
is — 1. Pulling down or
— 2. Rebuilding. p.1
2
The first, easy, & (it will
be seen) beneficial — The
utility of the other will
be disputable, and it's
difficulties abundant.

but of nuisances —
p.1

Pay, Power, factitious

easily destroyable.
p.1
5
Duties, qualifications
appointment, & removal,
declarations of
credence, the debateable
parts. p.1
6
Though abolition the
last in order of examination
taking things
as they are, it is first
taking them as they
should be. — p.2
7
Whatever portion of
wealth is unnecessary
to secure in men the

abolish so much art
to produce so much
good — even tho' it
were annihilated.

— Deaneries &c. even
on English principles
no objection could be

An. — Thousands exist
under £150 without attempt
at encrease. —
p.3

Patrons interest to be
provided for — This
not difficult — Patronage
of 10 livings of £300
each, worth more to
most men than one
of £3000 p.3

Of these classes of operations,
the easiest to be
first entered upon — &
while this is going on
the other may be considered
of — p.3
13

all the superfluity
should go. p.3
