V
Ch.
§.

1
H's recapitulation of his
grounds. p.1

2
viz. 15 heads of mischief
existing at present. p.1

3
Comprizable under 3
main heads — viz

I. Scantiness of provision
for officients (heads 1 to
7 inclusive)

II. Want of worshipping
room for the poor (heads
8. 9. & 10)

III Insufficient number
of days in which divine
service is performed — (Heads
10 to 15 inclusive) p.1.

4
The first main head has
engrossed H's attention.
p 2

5
No application to the 2nd
discoverable in the heads
of the bill. p.2

6
Some application to the
third, but the remedy
not very efficient viz.
Curates prevented from
serving more than 2
Churches a day. — (a 3d
allowed to be added in
some cases.) p.2.

7
I Mischief 1.

II. Mischief 2nd.
1. Lest any one should
underrate the magnitude
of this deficiency — the
whole No of inhabitants
of each parish is given
as the No to be accommodated
— though children
of a certain age would
not be benefited, & would
annoy others. p 4

9
Here he refers to an interesting
document —
a statement of church-
room in all the parishes
containing above
1000 persons each.

No of Parishes — 1,881
Population 4,937,782
Churches &)
Chapels) 2,533
Persons they)
contain) 1,856,108
Dissenting places
of worship 3,438.
p.4

10
To one attached to the
religion of Jesus at
large, and not to a sect
the comfort

11
To a man of this kind
even supposing a predilection
for the Church
of England — it would
be a comfort that of
some christian mode
of worship, a supply
was provided p.5

12
Secus to H. and to most
of the Bishops he addressed
Instead of comfort this
foreign supply was a source
of acknowledged terror.
According to H's speech, it
should seem that the Anglican
church, the boast &
support of the country, was
the only one — Per H's metaphor: the Church a
Castle &c. — attacked &c.

13
By the Church Commisariat,
the greater part
of the population is
left starving for spiritual
food. By good Samaritans
coarse Soup-
houses are opened to
keep the population
from spiritual death.
This christian charity
called by Harrowby
& Co an attack &
beheld with terror
p.7

14
With such eyes Bonaparte
views a supply
of necessaries to the
Continent from England
But Bonaparte's vassals
get the goods from
some other quarter
tho less good — but, if
not supplied by external
charity, would
not be supplied at
all. p.8

15
Such the picture one
of her children draws
of the Church of England.
Every benefactor beheld
by her as an enemy
and requited by scorn
and oppression — As
if any other but her
own children had interest
in her reformation
— as if she herself
were not her bitterest
enemy — What have
they sought from her
but security against
oppression. p.8.
