Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Examination of the Question, "Is It Right to Require Any Religious Test as a Qualification to Be a Witness in a Court of Justice?"
It may appear like presumption in any person to assume the nega tive of this question. He will undoubtedly be told, that the wisdom of ages has sanctioned the doctrine, that if a person be deficient in certain articles of established faith he ought not to be permitted to be sworn in a court of justice; that no testimony ought to be given without the sanction of an oath; that the oath itself in such case would be but a mockery, and therefore, the witness ought not to be heard at all.
