The undersktated bring 'Protestant Dissenters, present to

laws of England. they are. complied to sobsct the. Th,
disclaim all intention of acting disrespectfully, t ither to
the legislature or to the civil otfice before whom tht y
stand; they lament that they are placed in a sitnotion
unnatural as that evenforbearance Inwards what 11)7
I steem an establishSS•d error would be a formal reoaotalion
of opinions which triay received on conviction. and which
they can only rentomee on grounds. Against the
mat riage ceremony they most solemnly protest, beastwe it
makes marriage a religious instead of a Ckil art:
Because putts of the ceremony nee highly Indelicate,
and most to every correctly constituted mind be extremely
otkusive

Because the man is required to worship the womnr,
thong', the f der of Chi istianity has declared, that God
is the only object for the Christian to worship;
Becautc it requires the recognition o; the doctrine or ;!.e.
Trinity, !bas which nothing can be more oppressive to
those a MI disbelieve conscientiously, and after patient inves-
tigation. that doctrine; conceiving that the whole of Her.,
Int,on holly sanctions their joining the Apostle Paul in
dei taring, that." To as there is but one Cud and one Me,: j.
aloe between God and men, the nvai Christ Jesus;"
Because, as Christians and Protestant Dissenters, it is
impossible that they inn sanction the interference of any
human institution with matters whisk concern their faith
rind conscience :
Because, as knowing ncelting oft priesthood in Christia-
nity, the submission ton ceremony perform , d by n pe.son in
" holy orders, or pretended holy orders," is painful 'sea
hu niliating to their feelings
Because, as warm and firm believers in the truth of
Christiaeity, they disbelieve and abominate the doetrire
of Ihe Trinity, in the name of which the marriage cete-
'stony is performed : - -

And because, as servants of Jesus, they worship the Or.o
living and true Gud, his God and their Ood, his Father
au.' Usti, Father.

The parts of the ceremony omitted by the mini•ter urn
his occasion were, the chief of sh• introduction, which is
peculiarly indelicate; the placing the sing on the Bible ,
the kneeling•at the altar; and the whole or the blrssinv
and prayers of the priest after the words, " L pronounce
them to be mail and wife, in the name of the Ferber, the
Sun, and the Holy Ghost."
