"Ire' first resolution wee moved by the Rev. W. Blom,
seconded by Mr. R. Nonni', of Bristol, and carried natant-
measly. It was dee of the satisfaction with which
the continued success attea the lams of the association
inspired the meeting.
Oa the motion of the Rev. J. Bunten?, seconded by the
Rev. T. firzwcza, of Bath, it was resolved that in the oc-
currence of recent events in the established church, in the
revival of intolerant laws and the unwarranted but oessiment
exercise of oppressive powers—lathe extare by churchmen
themselves of the emupting and enfeeb influence of state
cennezien—sad espe sally in the secession of the Hon. and
Rev. Baptist Noel and the Rev. John Dodson, expressly on
the principle embodied in the sesociation, the meeting band
ground for the belief that the period was approaching when
churchmen would be constrained to unite with dissenters in
demanding a separation of church and state.
A resolution was also adopted in which the intention of
the executive committee to promote the presentation of pe-
titions to parliament was noticed approvingly, and a hope
express( d that, in the event of a general election, efforts
would be made to procure the return of men pledged to
the decided advossey of anti-state thumb principles in the
house.
The meeting then separated.
