[No. VIII.]
Civil State of Dissenters in England, 1793.

" Every dissenter in England is excluded from all civil and ecclesi-
astical employment of honour and profit in the kingdom. No dissent-
er can be admitted to command in the army or navy, were even his
country invaded, nor to collect any part of the publick revenue, nor
to act as a magistrate, nor to graduate in either of the universities, nor
even to take a degree of Doctor of Musick or Physick, which employ-
ments do not seem to have any refeience to the State. Nor will die
affirmation of a Quaker be taken in any of our courts, in any criminal
prosecution whatever ; so that, if a man of this denomination were to
see another murder his father or his wife, he could not prosecute the
criminal without denying his religion. No Quaker can practise in
any of the courts of law, not even as an attorney. This civil incapa-
city makes Dissenters be looked upon by the vulgar most unjustly, as
rebels and enemies to government, and to a family which they placed
pn the throne ; and in all seasons of alarm and tumult they have ex-

perienced, and do experience great evils in this way. Every Dissenter
who acknowledges the truth of the doctrine of the Trinity, is tolerated
in the exerci :e of religious worship ; but lie who denies the Trinity, is,
on conviction, liable to confiscation of goods and imprisonment. Dissenters
pay all taxes and tythes, and are obliged to serve offices in the church,
which are attended only with labour and expense, as church-warden, &c.
subject to heavy penalties if they do not serve, or find, at their own
expense, a proper substitute!!" Rifflon's Rtgister, Vol. \. p. 524.

Tiiis statement will give the reader a view of the condition of Dis-
senters in England, and will sufficiently explain to him the reason why
such multitudes are continually emigrating to America.

This kingdom abounds with good men of different persuasions ; it
has long been the nursery of genius and piety ; every Christian land
has reason to respect it, on account of its noble efforts in the cause of
truth ; but the maxims of its Cabinet, and its Ecclesiastical Constitu-
tion, no lover of liberty and equality can approve.

To the above statement we will subjoin the following account of the
Church of England taken from Simpson's Plea for the Sacred Writ-
ings.

" There are about i8,oco clergymen in England and Wales of the
established religion, and nearly 10.000 parishes. The rectories are
5,0^8 ; the vicarages 3,687 ; the livings of other descriptions 2,970 j
in all, 11,755.

" Twenty or thirty of those livings may be -"4444 : 44 and upwards a
year : four or five hundred of them ,2222 : 22 two thousand of them
888 : 9O - hve thousand of them 8444 : 45. The average value of liv-
ings is about 622 : 22.

" The whole income of the church and two Universities, is six mill-
ion, six hundred and sixty~fix thousand, six hundred and sixty- six dollars and
sixty-seven cents.

* " There are twenty-six bishops, whose annual income is 408, 888 :
90; each bishop has therefore on an average ^15,726 : 50, supposing
he had no other preferment.

" There are 28 cathedrals, 26 deans, 60 arch-deacons, and 554 pre-
bends, canons, &c. Besides these, there are in all about 300 in orders
belonging to the different cathedrals, and about 900 lay officers, such
as singing-men, organists, &c. who are all paid from the cathedral
emoluments ; so that there are about 1 800 persons attached to ihe sev-
eral cathedrals, and divide among them 62 2,2 2 z : 22."

One man may possess several preferments at the same time, and
may receive the enormous sum of ^8,888 : QO, per annum ! "LAW,
bishop of Carlisle, possessed, at the lime of his decease, ten nr more pre-
ferments. He was a bishop, head of a college, prebend, rector, libra-
rian, &c. &c. &c."

This picture is sufficient to convince Americans of the impropriety
f)f a union of Church and State. Were it necessary, such a melan-
choly picture might be drawn from the statements of that worthy man
and Christian, DAVID SIMPSON, (who disdained to be considered an
hireling of the corrupt Church of England, and of course withdrew) as
would strike the mind with horror ! Any one who wishes to be fur-
ther acquainted with the history of them, may find it in a volume

written by David Simpson, A. M. entitled, " A plea for Religion and
the Sacred Writings, addressed to the disciples of Thomas Paine,
and to wavering Christians of every denomination."



[No. IX.]

Summary Vieiu of the Different D?nomina!ioni of Christians in the United

S'ates.

THE number of the Baptists will be exhibited in the following Table.

It is probable: the Methodists count as many members in their so-
ciety, if not more, than any one denomination in America. Accord-
ing to their Minutes, the sum total of their members this year
amounts to 214,307 ; 42,809 of whom are people of colour. The
preachers in full connexion are 678, those on trial are 178 ; making the
sum total of preachers 856. The increase of their society this year is
18,950.* The members in Canada are not reckoned in this statement.
Their number in both Provinces last year was a little short of 3000 ;
but it is said great additions were made to them this year. In this
statement are included all, who belong to the Methodibt Classes ; what
proportion of these come up to their communion, one of their ministers
informs me, cannot be ascertained with any degree of correctness. A gen-
tleman, who was a number of years a preacher in their connexion, sup-
poses, that, take the denomination at large, not more, if so many as
half of those in Society, are communicants.

The total number of the Methodist Society in 1809, in Britain and
Ireland, the West-Indies, British Dominions in America, and the Uni-
ted States, was 334,628^

The Congregationlists are the most numerous denomination in New-
England. Their congregations, in 1801, were over a thousand.:]; In
1796, according to Dr. Morse, their churches in Connecticut only, were
zoo, their pastors 170, and their communicants 20,000.$ In Massa-
chusetts, their number of preachers now is over 400, the number of
churches nearly 500. || The number of this denomination in other
States I am not able to state, but it must be small compared with
New-England.

The number of Presbyterian congregations in America was, in
1788, computed to be68: there were 226 ministers.-'* They have
probably increased considerably since.+f

The Independents are small compared with either of the formention-
ed sects.

If The Congreanitionalists and Presbyterians are so often blended together, es-
pecially in New-England, that those who have not studied their ru~.es f disci-
pline, know not in what the difference between them consists. Tlie Presbyte-



406 Appendix.

The Friends have, in the United States, 505 meetings for worship,
their monthly meetings are 179 ; their yearly meetings 43.*

The number of Episcopal congregations I have not learnt.

The whole population of the Roman Catholicks in the United States,
in 1 80 1, was supposed to be 50,000.

The number of the smaller sects cannot be ascertained.

rians have the following gradation of ecclesiastical tribunals, viz. Church Ses-
sions, Presbyteries, Synods, and the General Assembly. A church Session con-
sists of the minister, or minister and elders, with whom is vested the govern-
ment of each church. A Presbytery consists of all the ministers and one ruling
elder from each church or congregation within a certain district. A Synod is a
convention of several Presbyteries. The General Assembly consists of dele-
gates from all the Presbyteries. There is a regular course of appeals from
the Church Session up to this Assembly, which is the highest judicatory of the

Presbyterian Church. Hannah Adams's Vieiv of Religions, /2.4.50, 451.

The Congregationalisms differ no great from the Presbyterians except in
church government, which they vest, net in the hands of the minister or elders,
Presbyteries, Synods, or Assemblies; but each church is supposed to have pow-
er of itself to regulate all its affairs : it is, however, thought, that they, tcgeth-
er with the Independents, are verging towards the Presbyterian standard.
