Some Considerations Humbly Offer'd Upon the Present Attempt of the Dissenters, to Obtain a Repeal of the Act Against Occasional Conformity (Classic Reprint): Address'd to a Member of Parliament - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Thoughtful defense of the Church of England against attempts to repeal the Occasional Conformity Act. A pointed early, polemical tract argues why repealing the act would threaten national order and the established church.
This pamphlet frames the dissenters’ push for repeal as a test of loyalty to the crown and the constitution. It presents reasons to oppose concessions that could empower those it portrays as threats to church and state, and it cautions readers about political consequences.
- Clear summary of the author’s concerns about religious liberty, church establishment, and civil power.
- Historical references to past debates over toleration and conformity.
- Arguments about how policy choices might affect unity, governance, and public order.
- Warnings about how repealing the act could influence elections and political alignments.
Ideal for readers of early modern political thought, church-state debates, and historical pamphlet literature seeking insight into 18th‑century arguments about toleration and governance.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complexities surrounding the Repeal of the Occasional Conformity Act, a law that barred dissenters from holding public office unless they conformed to the Church of England. The author, a staunch supporter of the established church, presents a compelling argument against the repeal, arguing that it would undermine the integrity of the constitution and empower those who seek to harm the Church of England. The book provides historical context, tracing the evolution of dissent and the tumultuous relationship between dissenters and the Church of England. The author examines the motives of those advocating for repeal, arguing that they are driven by a desire for power rather than a genuine concern for religious freedom. The author delves into the potential consequences of repeal, exploring the danger of allowing those who are hostile to the Church of England to gain influence in government. They contend that the stability of the nation depends on the preservation of the established church and warn that repeal would embolden those who seek its destruction. Thoughtfully written and meticulously researched, this book offers a profound analysis of the issues surrounding the Occasional Conformity Act. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of religious tolerance, the nature of dissent, and the delicate balance between religious freedom and the preservation of the established church.
