subjectsf the bajrdens of the country , and upholding equally its institutions and its glory , we claim to be admitted to a full participation in all the rights of British subjects . Every principle or practice hostile in the remotest degree to those institutions , we mast explicitly disclaim . Year after year we repeat the humiliating task of disavowal ; still we suffer the
penalties of guilt . We ask you , is this to endure for ever ? Are we always to remain the victims of misplaced suspicion ? The doors of the constitution are shut against us as long as we continue true to the dictates of our consciences ; but if we abandon the faith of our
fathers , resign eray honourable feeling , and become perjured men and apostates , then are all our disqualifications removed , the sanctuary of the British constitution is thrown open to us , we become
senators , privy councillors , nay , guardians of the morals of the people and dispensers of public justice ! God forbid we . should purchase such distinctions , however valuable , at the price of dishonour . In the hour of danger , when our country needs
it , we mingle our blood wuh yours . We desire no ascendancy , religious or political . If our country falls , we ask to fall with her ; if she prospers , we claim to share her prosperity .
( Signed ) Norfolk , E . M . Shrewsbury Surrey Kinnaird

erected in or about the year 1720 . There was before that time a Meeting-house in what was then and still is termed the Friary , whence the congregation removed to Pease Lane . The edifice . here when first raised had a double roof , tiled and supported by two large and heavy-looking brick pillars , in which state it remained many years . At length , however , in the year 1808 , the timbers of every description , not withstanding several previous
repairs , were found to be so much decayed , that it became necessary to take down the whole roof and to put on auot . her . The new roof is single , covered with lead and nearly Oat , having a skylight dome in the centre , which has a
pleasing effect- At the same time , the massy pillars , being no longer wanted , were removed , and sashes were substituted for casemenis , besides various other alterations and improvements made at a very considerable expense , so as to render this place of worship upon the whole both neat and cotivenieut . It is accommodated with a vestry , a vestry-library , a tfmall gallery and an organ .
