    " That this Body esteem it to be a Christian duty to renew the declaration of the injustice , impolicy , and profane tendency of the Corporation and Test Acts ; their injustice in excluding Protestant Dissenters from civil and political advantages , accessible to other classes of His Majesty ' s subjects , not more loyal or more

    zealous and active in the support of the Constitution of the country than themselves ; their impolicy in creating division amongst Britons , and depriving the King and country of the services of a large part of the people of these realms ; and their profane tendency , inasmuch as they prostitute a solemn and holy ordinance of our religion to worldly and uncharitable

    purposes . " That we do again petition both Houses of Parliament in the approaching Sertsiou for the repeal of so much of the aforesaid Acts as relates to the Sacramental Test . " The Meeting then adjourned to Tuesday the 11 th December , to consider and agree to au address to Protestant Dissenters , and to the religious public in general , on the subject of the Corporation and Test

    Acts . The following Address was then unanimously approved of , and ordered . to be transmitted to the United Committee on those Acts to be printed and circulated .
