sentieuts

Resolved also, That the Thanks of Meeting be given to
Mr. Wm. Bartholomew, Churchwarden, for
_his impartial
conduct in t he Chair this day.
The following is a copy of the Petition
To the Right Hon. the Lords spirit oat and Temporal, of
the United Kingdom of Great Britain and 'lreland, in
- Parliament assembled.
The Humble Pei ition of the Rector, Curate, and other Inha-
bitants sit the Parish of Christchurch, Middlesex,

Shewetb,,That your Petitioners view.with regret a Bill now
in progress to grant further claims to the subjects of this
Realm professing the Roman Catholic faith.
That your Petitioners cannot help contemplating conse-
quences ultimately injurious to the Protestant faith, if such a
Rill is suffered to pass into a law; because, while the princi,
pies of the Roman Catholic Church are acknowledged to he
unchanged', the assumption-of-Power is all that is wanted to
discover the same animosity to our established religion -as in
ancient days; the bare recital of which fills the mind with
bun or, and harrows up all the feelings of human nature.
That your Petitioners are aware, that an excuse for con-
ceding further claims is raised on the present enlightened
state of ►nankind, arising principally (run► the disseniniation
Of the Sacred Scriptures and although they would acknow-
ledge with thankfulness this great blessing, yet they-cannut
help observing, that while the heads of :1w Church tit Rome
usurp over the-consciences of those prisfeising the same faith
to keep them in darkness and superstition, the manifest evils
which must result from power bring placed in the hands of
such men would be, in the- end, to subvert our established
fora► of religion, and annihilate our religioui liberty and free-
dom of conceit me.

That }our Petitioners, having long enjoyed a succession of
Protestant Princes to uphold and defend the,faith on which
our happy Constitution is iounced, and contrastlng the vast
blessings resultieg therefrom, in a moral and religious point
of view, to that of the Roman Catholic faith, whose princi-
ples are the .saine they were centuries bat k,- earnestly hope
they shall never see the day when the supreme Head and
infallible Guide, so called, of that Church, who is a foreign
Potentate, shall encroach upon and abridge the powers of the
Established Church of this Realm ; because such a catas-
trophe may produce the same dreadful and awful scenes which
the annals of our Country record. The privileges under a
Protestant form of religion are so well appreciated, and so
highly valued by your Petitioners, that they firmly believe to
grant any further claims, under existing circumstances, is
contrary to the spit it of the Protestant faith, and repugnant
to the sacred doctrines it.contains.

That your Petitioners look with confidence to the decision
of your Right lionourahle /louse, and ;rust, that while they
behold in it the Lords Spiritual, who are the conservators of
our Holy Religion, they will narrowly watch every inno►ation
calculated to produce the least schism in it, and thus pre•
serve inviolate the Constitution handed down to us by out
ancestors.

That your Petitioners therefore rely on the wisdom of your
Right honourable House, conscious that you will most ma-
turely and deliberately weigh every clause contained in the
13111 fur granting further powers to the Roman sv
that we may still continue to enjoy, undisturbed, our religi
ous privileges, " earls sitting under his own rifle anti fig tree,
none daring to make him afraid."

Yoi►r Petitioners, thereforeonost earitesay, though humbly,
pray your Right Honourable House,
_that you will not suffer
the said Bill tiipass into a law.

And your Petitioners will ever tray, 54:.
