Ch. 9. Occas
§. Post Reformation

§.4. Post Reformation

1
The confession of
faith, a bond of union
against Papist tyranny
in Scotland.
p.1

2
In Scotland the reformation
the work
of the subject many
led on by a few nobles.
Year after year, they
had to struggle for
existence against
monarchy, in cruel
and faithless, though
female, hands. p.1

3
In England without
the same necessity,
the same engine was
employed — Employed
in Scotland by the
people for safety, by
the monarch in
England for oppression
— It served to distinguish
the pliancy
of vice from the
stubbornness of
virtue. Those who
could not pronounce
this Shibboleth were
cast out to starve.
p.2.

4
Conceditur at one
time subscription
to a set of articles
like these was perhaps
necessary. p.3.

5
The time was when
in the character of
rebels and heretics
the reformists of those
days had to struggle
against the old pope
at Rome, the new do
at London, Mary's
intolerable tyranny
& Elizabeth's more
tolerable and politic
do p.3

6
To any set of insurgents
a common is,
if not indispensible
highly desirable. p.4

§.4.

7
This bond if confined
to that time, & in
import to a statement
of the grievance
from which relief
was sought, would
not be objected to,
but praised by every
lover of good religion
and government.
p.4

8
In a country where
as in Scotland
advance was first
made towards reform
by the people
some such instrument
was of prime
necessity as being
the only means of
making known
the grievances they
wished to abolish.
p.5

9
But where reform
was made by the
monarch in full
power, no such expedient
was necessary
— he might
abolish what seemed
pernicious, and
leave untouched
the rest. p.5

10
In the execution of
such design, dissatisfaction
must
be given to some
part of the people,
besides those whose
2 sinister interests
were sacrificed —
The proper object
was, to reduce this
partial mischief
as much as possible.
p.5.
