II. Doctrine
Ch. 6. All Directive Evils
§. English & Scottish Practice

18
One mark of conscientious
attention may
be seen in the Scotch
which exists not in
the English Church —
In the common editions
of the articles, to
each article subjoined
at the bottom of the
page the texts
on which it is grounded.
p.9

19
A conscience void of reproach,
and an indigenous
persuasion, this
the state of mind of
which this practice affords
presumption, & without
the counter presumption
above, conclusive
proof. p.9.

20
No such desire by the
framers or enacters of
the English formulary
The word of God is
kept out of sight &
the word of man enflamed
with passion
substituted. How
much instead of being
genuine deduction,
is pure imagination &c.
is left to conjecture.
& when the time &c
is considered the judgement
cannot be too
unfavorable. p 10

21
Presence of the text
a check on licentious
interpretation. p.10

22
One great advantage
Scoticé — the emasculation
confined to
clerical minds. — Anglicé
it is extended to all the
the Universities
p.11.

23
— Scoticé — established
Clergy — 1000 Anglicé
10,000 — Anglicé the
university laity dose
with emasculated
minds. Minds they
with
Scoticé
they learn with unemasculated
do

Cambridge has in
this respect, considerable
advantage over
Oxford. p.11.

Instance — Lord Petre's
son.

1
Of the Ruling Clergy
and Laity it is the
interest, that this
as well ss all other
instruments for
depraving the minds
of the subject many
should be kept in
vigour as long as
possible. In the
same manner it
was at the time of
the Reformation,
the interest of the
Church of Rome to
adopt the same
course. — In Church
of England as it was
under Church of
Rome, — public depravation
is necessary
to support of abuse.
p.1.

2
The interest of being
such, except the enslavement
of the
press, there is no
instrument so efficient
as this —
practice of exacting
declaration of persuasion.
p 2

3
Like the Romish
the Anglican Church
swarms with abuses.
It's points of difference
with the Scottish
Church are all abuses
— Sinecures, Pluralities,
inaptitude
evil power, dignity
&c. — all which depend
for continuance
on the blindness and indifference of
the public mind.
p..

4
The Church of Scotland
has no such sinister
interest, for
it has none of these
abuses to lose.

The cause of subscriptions
has ceased —
The times call on her
to cast away the reproach.
The Church
of England has always
pretended to
infallibility — Secus
the Church of Scotland.
Creeds she was
never haunted with —
How long will she then
prefer custom to
reason and sincerity.
p.3.
