List of Useless places.
1. The establishment offices and all The whole of the
establishment kept up for the persons support of the splendor of the service of the person of the
Chief functionary in the State in a Monarchy, kept up as the phrase
is for the support of his dignity: for the maintenance of the
lustre the splendor of his throne.
Proof of the inability uselessness of this office, the peaceful
and flourishing condition of the Anglo-American United
States in which in the federal State the pay of the Chief functionary
is no more than not so much as £6,000 a year: and and it is rather by in the allotment allowance made of it
imitation and prepossession that in this it is rather by imitation
and prepossession, it should seem, than by any clear
proof or view of a real and sufficient adequate demand to that amount, that in that instance the allowance of
so large a sum was determined.
2. The whole of the In every country in which
the great body of the people profess Christianity to believe in the religion
of Jesus in any shape, the whole of the pay allotted at
the expence of the subject many to and under its under
the notion of pay for teaching it and performing the ceremonies
that which have been attached to connected with it. And note that
pay produced by the occupation or rent of property
in an irremoveable shape is so much received extracted at the expence
of the subject many: for by applying to that same
money to the defrayin provision made for real exigencies the production
the suffering produced by the exaction money to that same amount might be saved spared.
Proof of the uselessness of forced exaction pay drawn from those sources
is the non-existence of any such system of exaction for the
support of the Catholic Members of the Ecclesiastical establishment
in Ireland.
Proof of that no such contributions exactions are ordained by conformable to the
religion of Jesus. No such text speaking of him or exactions did he ordain: no text of the New
Testament speaking of him as ordaining any such exaction is to be found:
texts ordaining perfect
equality among all
the professors of his religion
are to be found in existence.
