In both these modifications
of a non established

services. p 4

Hibernicé
Church of Englandists 400 000
Presbyterian 600 000
Catholics 4 000 000
Of the 400,000 domineerers
the doctrine is in
the eyes of the 4,000 000
damnable, the service
in the eyes of the 600 000
absurd, the discipline
corruptive p.5

Excepted the rare case
of an engagement
for a considerable
determinate length
of time. p.5

Of a non established church
no man is a member
without enjoying pure
or preponderant benefit.
13
Of an established church
the whole benefit of every
member may be a
continual sacrifice to
the interest of the ruling
few. p 5
