Publisher's Synopsis
""Reasons For Abrogating The Test Imposed Upon All Members Of Parliament, Anno 1678, October 30"" is a political and historical book written by Samuel Parker. The book was published in 1688 and discusses the Test Act, a law that required all members of Parliament to take an oath of allegiance to the Church of England. The author argues that the Test Act was discriminatory and unjust, as it prevented non-Anglicans from holding public office. Parker presents various reasons for why the Test Act should be repealed, including the need for religious tolerance and the importance of allowing individuals to hold public office based on merit rather than religious affiliation. The book provides a valuable insight into the political and religious landscape of late 17th century England, and the debates surrounding religious freedom and political representation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
