MODERN ARISTOCRATI C ’’CREED.
I ft . Tr Believe in -predefiination, and that property
* A. to rhe arnoupt offive hundred pbonds and up
wards, is the mark by which the elect of God are
diftinguilhed j that it is (he fecond'and real birth ; I
and tbat frfch men as are not thus regenerated, are j
of a reprobate nature, and of the bVfnal'kind ; and !
as emaiculatcd, are cut off for ever, from the ihrcf-1
hold of Liberty, by divine command.
2nd. i believe that property is the foie flandard
of capacity and of integrity, and that' it atone
ftampa the human character with rationality.
3 1. I believe rhat fee h men as are not worth
five hundred pounds and upwards, were'frotn rhe
beginning, of time, as the children of Ifsachar, or
dained by God to he thefervants of others.
