II Ex. 2. Effect prosperity
& good government
as before obstacle
given as a cause, seat
of Bishops in the
House of Lords.
P.1.
2.
Proofs that it is
not the cause.
1. In no situation
can a man promote
any business any further
than as he takes
a part in it.
In the H of Lords a
man can not take
a part in the business
any further than
he does in the debates
or at least attends
& gives his vote
[ In a Note mention
Proxies as an abusive
mode of taking a part.]
3. — Bishops, English
26 Irish : speech
by a Bishop a sort
of miracle: attendance
rare except one to read
prayers. p1.
3.
Question 1. Numbers
why so small.
Answer general feeling
that for men
of that profession
legislation & administration
are not suitable
occupations p.2
4.
Question 2. Why not
suitable?
Answer 1. In the Debates
by the personality
fallacies Bishops
eminently vulnerable
1. Apostles Senators or even
Common Councilmen?
2. Did Lazarus or Dives
cloathe himself in purple
& fine linen.
3. By fishing & walking
about to preach would not
you be more like them
than you are? p.2.
5
Answer. 2. Feeling
general that the legislature
is not a fit place
for a man who is not
at liberty to speak as he
thinks; who if arguing
on the ground of utility
might be silenced by
reference to 39 Articles
as a text.
6.
Disadvantages under
which a Bishop has
to speak.
1. Improbabilia credenda.
2. Indefensibilia defendenda.
3. Surditas versus rationem,
officium: auditio,
infamia.
4. Partes vulnerabiles
tot propriae.
5 Vincula tot propria.
6. Ad virum ratio
indecora, sicut ad filiam
aut uxorem verta
lasciva.
7.
In vain would it be
for them to contend there
as they so often have done elsewhere
that neither Jesus nor
his Apostles know
what they said that
every thing they said
is to be explained, &
explained away, or explained
to mean the contrary.
[ Add Facienda
1. From the Lords'
Journals collect the members
of Bishops present
each day.
2. From the Debates
observe the topics they
spoke to & the arguments.
3. Note the No of Bishops
brought down to
vote against Romillys
Bills.
4. In proportion as
the defects in the penal
code become apparent so
will the deprabity of these Bishops p.3.
