II. Doctrine
Ch. 5. Occasions
§. English & Scotch Practice

§. 5. English practice

At the head of hate-inspiring
institutions may
be placed creeds. p 1

2
Church of Englandism
swarms with creeds,
Apostles, Nicene, Athanasian.
— p.1

3
Under pain of exclusion
from participation
in religious service,
each of the congregation
must declare his belief
in those creeds, as often
as they recur. p.1.

4
The Apostles creed occurs
once in every service, —
The Nicene in every communion
service — The
Athanasian Creed (4
times per an.). p.1

§.6. Scottish practice

1
Scotice no creeds.
No member of the Scot
Church need ever pronounce
any creed.
p.1

2
Creeds a natural
accompaniment of Liturgies
— a quantity
of time being to be employed,
creeds occur as
matter to fill up a part
of it. p.1

3
Besides the absence
of liturgies, Creeds
are (Scoticé) rejected
for special reasons
p 1

4
They are human compositions,
— sanctioned
neither by Jesus
nor any of his companions
or Biographers.
p 1.

5
Useful that thus early
the exclusion of creeds
Scoticé should be brought
to view —

Being repeated in conjunction
with 10 commandments,
Lords prayer —
rejection of the creeds
is supposed by Church
of Englandists to amount
to that of religion.

§.1. Abstract fitness
Benefit

1.
In religious matters,
the distinction between
the truth of a doctrine
& the an obligation to believe
— would have if attended
to, have saved infinite
misery. p.1

Belief Indigenous X Adoptive

Belief, including faith,
may be distinguished
into intrinsic & extrinsic indigenous and
adoptive — intrinsic indigenous, that
formed from the proposition
itself, extrinsic adoptive
when the assent is given
in consideration of the
assent of other persons.
p.1

Belief indigenous X adoptive

3
Extraneous Adoptive belief may
be given to a proposition
with which the believer
is unacquainted — as
for instance, a creed
in Greek, may thus be
believed by an English
clown — If this sort
of belief would serve,
it would be a benefit
that all creeds should
be in this state — with
a translation into Arabic
for those who understood
Greek, and a
translation into Palmyrene,
for those who
understood that. —
p.1
Post to the end of

Benefit

4
For this adoptive belief
of any proposition it
will not be contended
that any one is wiser or
better.

A discourse written by
God, would be believed
by every man — but to
what use could this belief
be applied. p.2

Power

5
In attempting to attach
notions of duty to the
belief in any proposition,
an insuperable impediment
presents itself —
belief, depends not on
our will. p 3

Power

6
The utmost we can do
is to hunt out the pro's
& turn aside from the
contra's p.3

Power

7
This is all that can be
done but even then,
forming an erroneous
judgement is not always
in our power.

Subjects of faith are
1. Facts.
2. Inferences or credence
from do.

The 39 Articles are mostly
if not wholly conclusions
— conclusions
from the facts reported
in scripture

Conceditur — Facts and
conclusions frequently
scarce distinguishable.
So facts X &
circumstances.
