Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Right of Protestant Dissenters to a Compleat Toleration Asserted: Containing an Historical Account of the Test Laws, and Shewing the Injustice, Inexpediency, and Folly of the Sacramental Test, as Now Imposed, With Respect to Protestant Diffenters; With an Answer to the Objection From the Act of Union With Scotland The author ventures to intrude again upon the public, not at the instigation of his own feelings, but at the pressing request of others. The first edition of this work was written and published (chiefly from materials collected long before) in little more than six weeks: It of course abounded with errors. Many of those errors are corrected in the present edition, and the general arrangement is in some respects altered. Accuracy and brevity can alone be expected, where every ornament of stile has been sacrificed in order to reduce the work into a small compass. The author however has endeavoured, in plain and simple language, to give an accurate narrative of facts, and a perspicuous view of the arguments urged by the Protestant Dissenters in favour of a repeal of the Test Laws. Some persons may think the historical part is too long, and the argumentative part too short. But the author has contented himself with stating, in a general manner, the principles on which the Protestant Dissenters found their claim to a compleat Toleration; first, because it may be presumed that every Protestant Dissenter is acquainted with those principles; and next, because they were so fully discussed and elucidated at the time of the application of the Dissenting Ministers for relief, that little is left to succeeding writers. The author begs leave to refer, for whatever he may have left deficient, to an excellent publication by the Reverend Mr. Fownes of Shrewsbury, intitled, An Enquiry into the Principles of Toleration. - On the other hand, the history of the Test Laws has never before been fairly given. The Parliamentary Journals are a rich mine of materials hitherto unexplored; and with their assistance, the author has been enabled to correct numberless mistakes of our best historians.
