Petition of Christianus on articles of faith debate in Parliament
A London Evening Post correspondent, signing as Christianus, argues clergy are not superior interpreters of scripture to the laity and warns against enforcing subscription to explanatory articles of faith. The writer asserts lay insight often reveals truth and urges Parliament to decide on repeal or retention, noting morality and divine law, and laments legal confusion in England.

Response to Christanus on Clergy and Laymen in Subsidy Debate
A layman defends the clergy against the charge of being inferior and asserts Bishops will not sway support. He notes varied favours and fears among clergy, questions convocation activity, cites historic laymen like Milton and Locke, and recalls Disquisitions and tavern meetings as evidence of lay and clerical conduct. The letter ends with a prayer for Lord North.
