IV
Ch. F
§.2.

§.2.

1
No difficulty here if obedience
were paid to
the practice of former
times. — Nor if the practice
of the Church of
England were taken
as the model — Clear
the Church (would be the
precept) by enjoining
subscription to what
without dereliction of
character could not
be signed. p.1

2
The practice of the
English Church useful,
but as a beacon to shew
what is to be shunned.
p.1

3
Service of God & the
King, all that in
those days was spoken
of — Human feelings
unworthy of regard
secus at present, however
incorrect the calculations
founded on
this regard. p.1

4
The interest till now
that of the purse — the
one most easily satisfied,
if the matter be
not wanting. p.2

5
Enter now two more
intractable ones, the
interests of the altar &
the trumpet. p.2

6
The possessions of the
clergy being for life
only, the postea obit
principle protects
them in case of reform
as by substitution of
pension to place. p.2.

§.2.

7
But the clergy have
as well as the lay-patrons
not only pockets, but
souls and consciences
p.2

8
The evil of the system
has been seen; (1) shall
its remedy be attempted?
(2) & this by removal
simply — or substitution?
(3) & if by substitution
simply, by
substitution of what
system? p.3

9
By removal alone, a
gap is made in the
provision for religious
instruction by the uncertainty
of the operativeness
of non established
churches. p.3.

10
As to points, the result
is here given — 1. The
church of England is
too bad for amelioration,
so abolition must be
looked to — 2. The Church
to be substituted to it
should be the Scotch
church. p.3

11
No surprise likely at
these decisions, but abolition
is so extensive
and severe, that something
must be expected
on that head here p.3

12
Objector — Suppose the
system bad; what remains
to be proved is,
that it cannot be
made better — still
retaining its episcopalian
character. p.4.
