Genevese Clergy.
The following note was omitted by mistake, at p. 139, where
it was intended to have been inserted.
With respect to the weekly change of the pastors, it
may be a regulation useful to preserve equality among
the ministers of a church, not episcopalian; for a pastor
who was appointed to preach constantly in the cathedral,
might soon imagine himself the possessor of the seat
of the former Bishops of Geneva. Were the change,
however, less frequent or every quarter of the year, all
fear of spiritual domination might be removed, and
the inconveniences of the present system diminished.
Such a dread of individual ascendency exists, among
the Genevese clergy, that the president or moderator in
their assemblies is changed once a week, and when some
repairs were made in the room where they assemble, the
carpenter having raised the chair of the moderator a few
inches above the rest, this gave such offence, that he was
ordered to take it down, and place it on an exact level
with the other seats.
