ACT for well Governing and Regulating Corporations.
Be this Paragraph understood as variously as mens minds can mould it, Yet is it very important for those shall choose men into Offices and Places, in the Act mentioned, To consider,
VVHether any Persons, confessed and declared unqualified, by not having taken the Sacrament of the LORDS SUPPER, according to the Rites and Ceremonies of the Church of
England, and their Election thereby becoming void,
Ought in Reason and good Conscience, to be Elected into any Office or Place again, because they seem to become Qualified by having
Since taken the Sacrament of the LORDS SUPPER, according to the Rites and Ceremonies of the Church of
England, which is in effect, but a prostitution of that Holy Ordinance to the corrupt Designs, perhaps of mens Interests and Passions. And if the Parties hoping to be Elected, should be disappointed, the only Searcher of hearts can tell, if they may not Repent of having done that Duty.
