Excerpt from A Narrative of the Proceedings of the Protestant Dissenters of the Three Denominations: Relating to the Repeals of the Corporation and Test Acts, From the Year 1731, to the Present Time About the Opening of the Session of Parliament in 1731, there appeared among the Protestant Dissenters, in several Parts of the Kingdom, a very deep Sense of the Unreasonableness of the Sacramental Test and Corporation Acts, as they occasioned a Prostitution of a sacred Rite of our holy Religion, were Restraints upon the Consciences of many Dissenters, and a Mark of Infamy upon them all, and a grievous Burden on all the parochial Clergy: As they were founded upon persecuting Principles, had occasioned two other severe Laws against the Dissenters in the Reign of Queen Anne, viz. the Occasional Conformity and Schism Acts, and had a natural Tendency to introduce other Laws of the same kind. Upon this View the Protestant Dissenters prepared Petitions, in several Parts, to the H - of C - for the Repeal of those two Acts, so far as they related to themselves, and wrote Letters to their Friends in London, communicating their Design, and desiring the Concurrence and joint Influence of the Dissenters in this City.
