Dissidence of Dissent and the English religious scene
The piece examines Whitaker's Almanac figures and the Saturday Review satire on the growing number of English denominations outside the Established Church. It argues that while variation appears ludicrous, it pressures unnoticed unity challenges, suggesting future Christian union may require tolerating diverse sects rather than eradicating them.

Church Establishment Without a Church Government
A historical critique argues that establishing a church by law is not the same as governing it by law. The piece notes the Erastian appeal for stability, observes that two churches exist by law yet are not truly governed by it, and questions the legal demands on doctrine and rites within the Church of England. The author says law cannot secure religious certainty or genuine belief.
