tion whatever is highly injurious to religion, morality,
and good policy; they, therefore, pray the House
to make provision, that no person who objects
on religious grounds to the taking an oath might be
required to do so on any occasion; and that a decla-
ration or promise of a person so objecting might be
valid in law for all purposes for which oaths are now
required; and that the breach of such promise or
obligation might be made liable to all the penalties of
perjury.
