Second Letter on Dissenters and Petition Timing
The author debates whether Dissenters should petition Parliament now or wait, arguing that pursuing repeal of the Test at this time could split the government’s support and shift loyalties to the Tory side. He recalls similar cases, cites quotations from Samuel Holden Ely’s inquiry, and contends that petitioning would risk electoral consequences and strengthen opposition.
