II Grievances to Protestant
non-conformists
1. and 2. as above

II. In the situation from which the state of the government
could not but present itself to the view of that part of the
Protestant population which was composed of those who were not
Members of the Established Church the same circumstance
which as above, could not fail to present themselves to in the
character of grievances

3. Income-tax, ten
per cent or more extorted
on false pretence
of religious
service 1 The service
useless: 2. even that
to a great degree not
rendered: the situation Offices
being sinecures.

Riches heaped up
by extortion, for as
necessary to the support
of a religion
by the author of which
they the possession of them stood pronounced
incompatible with
entrance into heaven
with escape from hell.
Abjuring, those arranging
themselves in pomp and
vanities, delivering those
without their religion
would vanish, morality
with it.

3. But in their case, situation to the above two grievances, in
which they had others from their fellow subjects of
the Established Church for their sharers, could not but
be added in the character of a third grievance, the being
of giving year by year a tenth part of their subsistence
seeing extorted from them under false pretences every year
the amount of a ten per cent mean-tax by a set of
men whose service such as it was, was next to nothing
and that next to nothing not simply useless but worse
than useless: Men who professing to worship in the character as the author of their religion
of a God or a part of a God that person or one of three persons
of whom the entire God is composed a person by whom
it stands declared that to a man who trusts in riches it
will not be so easy to enter into the kingdom of heaven
(without which a man can not avoid entering and remaining
for ever in the [the kingdom of] hell) as it is to a camel to
pass through the eye of a needle, heap rulers upon rulers,
put avowedly their trust in those same rulers, and declare
that without these same rulers it is not possible for
the Church they compose or belong to to support itself: and also after
swearing by proxy, and renewing in person the an oath abjuring renouncing
the pomps and vanities of this wicked world, persist in cluttering arranging
themselves in public with those same pomps and vanities, declaring
and
and protesting that
without those same pomps
and vanities that same
Church of theirs can not
stand, that if it fall
all true religion and with
all true religion all
true morality will
fall with it, and that
in conclusion hell a
place of unutterable and endless torment will be the receptacle of those millions who under that same Church and by virtue of its ordinances rules and
ceremonies would have been saved.
