PROTESTANT DISSENTERS.—At a MONTHLY
MEETING of the COM3IITTEE Of The PROTEST.
ANT SOCIETY far the PROTECTION of RELIGIOUS
LIBERTY, held April 23, 18'23, •
ROBEAT STEVEN, Esq. in the Chair.
It was unanimously resolved,
I. That this Committee perceive with regret, that the presents.
tion of about twenty-five Petitions from persons calling themselves
" Protestant Dissenters," against the Itill depending in Parlia-
ment " for the removal of the diaquahlications under which Ro-
man Catholics now labour," has involved the thousands of Con-
gregations of Protestant Dissenters in k;ngland and Wales in the
imputation of indifference or hostility to those great principles of
Religious Freedom for which their forefathers cobtended, and to
which they continue ever attached.
IL That the Society, by whom this Committee are appointed,
and which includes enlightened and liberal Members of the Es.
tablished Church, and several hundred Congregations of Protestant
Dissenters of all denominations in England and Wales, have re-
peatedly declared their belief, "that the right to Religious Liberty
is a universd, paramount. unalienable sight—that religious api.
nions should not alone quality or disquality for public offices—that
all restraints on their expression, by penalties or exelysions. are
acts of oppression and of wrong—that the connexion of privileges
and emoluments with particular opinions stray create hypocrites or
martyrs, but that the unrestricted allowance of all religious opi.
nions and diversities of worship, is essential to the rights of con-
science, favourable to the promotion of piety, and proprwus to the
harmony and improvement of mankind."
111. That this Committee can never be unmindful of the need-
less, oppressive, degrading, and unjust restrictions imposed by
" The Test and Corporation Acts" on Protestant Dissenters, nor
cease to desire their repeal. But being convinced that the conces-
sions proposed to be made by the depending Bill will not live to
the Roman Catholics in England or Ireland any political advan-
tage over Protestant Dissenters in those countries, they will not, as
Protestant Dissenters, interfere in any manner that may prejudice
or prejudge the Bill, but will leave the measure to the wisdom and
justice of Parliament, on which, with confidence, the Committee
rely.
