1 9
Parties
1
Parties to the bond
different according
as the Church is
non-established or
Established; Primitive
or derivative.
p.1
2
Church non-established
the description of the
parties is different
according as a
Teacher is or is
not employed. p.1
3
Suppose no Teacher
union is necessary
thence a bond of
union to secure each
against the giving
and engaging his money
and time without
the looked for return.
p.1.
4
I. Simplest Church
Non established Church
without Special
Teacher, ex. gr. Quaker
Church, here all
Teachers or none:
none special. p.2
5
Here, were it but
for the Meeting House
money raised by contribution
is necessary:
thence union, thence
a bond of union: else
instead of Jesus', Mahomets,
or the Pope's
religion might be
heard inculcated p.2
Parties
6
Hence prudence
prescribes an engagement
adapted to the
common object. p.2
7
This object will be
positive and negative,
positive, the securing the
hearing of suitable discourse:
negative, do the exclusion
of unsuitable do. p. 3
8
Negative, the object easiest
determined and
described: viz. whether
in doctrine, service or
discipline, securing the
exclusion of what has
been found mischievous
p.3
9
State of things impressed
by experience on the
Quaker in state of subjection
under 3 established
churches, viz. 1. Roman:
2. English: 3 Scottish.
Substance of the bond
exemption from the
produced by this
subjection; form comparatively
immaterial
p.3

II. Next simplest
Church, non established
with a Teacher: viz.
all, or almost all but
Quakers. Parties here two —
viz.
1. The community of
contributors an aggregate
party: 2 Teacher, a party
sole. p.4
11
For contributions the demand
is here increased:
viz by the amount of
the regularly repeated
sum necessary to teachers
subsistence. p.4
Parties
12
III. Established Church
Parties here. 1. The
community of contributors:
2. Teachers.
3. the Government.
p.5

Here the bond of
union is not a free
engagement, but a
mass of compulsory
ordinances, in the
form of written or unwritten
law.
