I. That Occasional Conformity is no new thing, but is warranted in some Cases by the most sacred and uncontestable Precedents. II. That the Principles of the Occasional Conformists are truly Christian and Catholick. III. That the difference between the Church and Moderate Dissenters is inconsiderable. IV. That the imploying of sober Dissenters in Publick Trusts, is so far from being prejudicial to the Church of England, that it really strengthens it. V.
