Standard of Persuasion
Pain of Scandal

17 or 6.
Objection. Only on the supposition
of the truth of
these opinions was any engagement
taken to secure
the profession of them:
mischievous error discerned,
correction is not
only warranted but obligatory:
if in all men, so
particularly in such leading
men by whom all
others are led. p.3

18 or 7
Answer. Conceditur.
But still remains undiminished
the pain of
scandal. (Refer to Ante-
Topics the Inconveniences
of change.) p.4

19 or 8
For minimizing mischief
course suggested by a joint
view of the above opposite
mischiefs.

Putting aside all declaration
of opinion
confine the scandal-
preventing restrictive
engagements to the
place of common worship:
having liberty of prophecy
every where else. p 4

20 or 9
II Second historical circumstance
influencing the
demand for an engagement
— To Church of England
as to every Protestant
Church, necessity of
keeping its offices out of
Roman hands. p.5

21 or 10
Tempore Reformationis
had been nearly completed
by the Roman Church a
spiritual tyranny worse
than any known temporal:
tortures more afflictive
and more extensively
applied. p.5

Standard of Persuasion
Security against Popery

22 or 11
The greater part of Christendom
still continuing at the
devotion of the intolerant
Church of Rome for securing
the reformed minor
part, no precaution that
seemed necessary could be
too great. By the
enemies of reform, powers
of office could not fail
of being employed against
it. p.6

23 or 12
Measure for this purpose,
obvious, simple, effectual:
declaration of disbelief applied
— not to all Romanist
doctrines, but to all
which had been found
practically pernicious, as
per list. p.7

(a)
23 or 12.
Objection. Such declaration
would not bind them.
Answer. Yes: as per experience,
else they would
have taken the test, and
so inundated and overwhelmed
Protestant establishment

Inconsistent to propose
tests, and say they will
not bind

24 or 13
For reconciling the avoidance
to produce mendacity with
do to perpetuate error, an
established has a facility
not possessible by a
non established Church

The Minister of a non-
established church can
do no otherwise than
join in the profession of
the whole system of opinions
in which his congregation agree.

Secus do of an established Church:
a negative engagement not to
preach counter may here be
made sufficient. p.8.
