    Heads now proposed — To be cast into Chapters and Sections, when the matter is written out, according to the space occupied.

    1. Paul’s religious doctrines determined by his worldly scheme:a 1. his doctrines or ordinances. 2. his primum mobile a means of securing acceptance and ordinances

    a Object of the doctrine 1. Exclusion of rival pursuits 2. Awe— striking i.e. by terror forcing men to observances

    2. Paul’s primum mobile faith

    3. Faith how far subservient to true religion viz. only as well applied, ill applied it is subservient to false religion exclusive to true: also to mental imbecillity and moral deformity.

    3. The faith inculcated by Paul was faith in himself not in Jesus

    See Ch. Independence avowed

    4 Object correspondent to the magnification of faith depretiation of works i.e. Jewish works

    5. The faith possessed by the percipient witnesses of Jesus’s acts and saying the only real faith in Jesus: every thing else that is called faith in Jesus is faith in some one else.

    7. More Doctrines peculiar to Paul in contradistinction to Jesus 1. Asceticism 2. Mysticism. the division or classification simply announced

    1 Temporal given as 1. Money. 2. respect. 3. obedience 4 spiritual

    8 Asceticism —what — its divisions & its mischievousness in both cases

    9. Asceticism — no where inculcated by Jesus — virtually condemned by his practice

    10. Asceticism — Paul’s motives for the inculcating of it 1. Rival pursuits

    11. II. Mysticism — what Paul’s objects in the inculcation of it: 1. Awe— striking, and thence helping forward and enforcing their faith in himself. 2. by obscurity, forcing them to himself for interpretation and guidance.

    By this means even Astrologers, who could not pretend to any share in the determination of men’s fortunes by determination of the course of the stars or otherwise have placed men in their dependence.

    12. Instances Passages in which Paul inculcates asceticism collected

    13. Passages in which he inculcates real morality prove nothing in his favour: in these he was but a copyist of common feeling and opinion, as the words employed coupled with their interpretation and dyslogistic import shew

    15. Passages in which he inculcates mysticism collected.
