Note: The basic unit in The Discipline is the paragraph, rather than page, chapter, or section. The paragraphs are numbered in order through the entire volume, but with many numbers skipped, in order to allow for future additions or amendments, and to fit into the following plan:<br />
<br />
{|<br />
|1 – 499|[[2016 Wesleyan Discipline:PART 1: Basic Principles]]<br />

If a paragraph is divided into numbered parts, each is called a subparagraph. When a paragraph number is followed by a subparagraph number, the two numbers are joined by a colon. For example, [[2016 Wesleyan Discipline:725:1]] means [[2016 Wesleyan Discipline:725:1|paragraph 725, subparagraph 1]]. If a subparagraph is further divided into parts, they are identified by letter. For example, '''1233:9b''' means '''paragraph 1233, subparagraph 9, division b'''. A comparative or “cf.” reference, when found within a sentence applies only to that sentence. When the “Cf.” appears parenthetically outside the sentence the comparative reference(s) apply to the whole of the preceding paragraph.<br />
