Church
II. Doctrine
Ch. 6. All Direction
§.3. Ante-Reformation
1
Not knowable, or worth
knowing when this
policy was first employed
— whenever it
was, it was too soon.
p.1
2
The Apostles Creed
taught Anglicé from
the earliest infancy
is acknowledged to be
a comparatively modern
fabrication.
Whether it be the Apostles'
or no what
matters — The one
thing needful is orthodoxy,
the one
thing hateful — truth.
p.1
3
Subscriptions
modern in comparison
of creeds — Speech
and memory having
been at all times more
universal that writing
— Apostles' the
only creed of the three
which is commonly
committed to memory.
It would have been
better in verse, still
better set to music.
p.2
4
No such imparted
to the Nicene or Athanasian.
p.2
5
The Athanasian Creed
seems like the Bottle
conjuror story, the
invention of some
drunken bout — The
endeavour seems to
be, to reiterate that
self contradiction,
which cannot be made
more forcible. Error
and falsehood cannot
be attributed to the
characteristic parts
of it as they suppose
intelligible a portion or
deduction (except the falsehood
in saying the import
is the same to expressions of
which it is different.) p.2.
§.3. Ante-Reformation
6
This gem enchased in
the 39 articles & transportation
employed
to preserve it from
outward contradiction.
p.3
7
The curious thing
is, to hear the Athanasian
blame the
Transubstantialist
for incredulity.
p.3.
(a)
Extraordinary are
the courses to obtain
distinction. An Honorable
gentleman exhibited
himself in
the front of his book
hangings. p.4
So the Iota parson
swallows this bolus
in a note. p.4
St John's bitter book.
p.4
Subscriptions the
resource of weakness
not the productions
of an uncontradicted
Church. p.5.
