2
Accepted this will be as
a bond of union for Protestants,
and pro tanto a pale
separating them from
Catholics. p.1

3
No such simple bond has
ever been accepted. p.1

4
Sources of difference
opposed 1 to the erection
2 to the continuance
of a community united
by such a bond;
1 the question of authenticity
— which interpolation
considered, pervades the
whole. p.2.

4(a)
Contested books and passages
enumerated? (To be
written)

3
2. Interpretation
3 Inferences.

6
4 The verity of divers
representations admitted
on all hands to be authentic.
Ex. gr. physical

ignorance. p.2.

7
These sources of difference

2 As to historical incidents
1 Under every Established
Church, benefices have
been made as above into
a lottery: declaration of

for any opinion
repugnant to
any one comprized in
such declaration; not
to speak of ulterior punishment.
p.1.

13 or 2
Anglicé such forfeiture
has recently been exacted
(See Stone's case, Morn.
Chron. Octr or Nov. 1813)

permanency
to do entertained by
laity. p.2

natural expectation
that it will not take
