The Merits of a Honourable Gentleman and Dissenters
The piece attacks the Craftsman and Mr D Arvers over the Schism Act, arguing that Whigs who opposed repeal and Tories who fortified the act share similar culpability toward Dissenters. It challenges the insinuations of political motives, defends the Dissenters’ civil liberties, and condemns perceived misrepresentation of Whig conduct while urging scrutiny of party loyalties in power. It presses that reversals in power should not revive persecuting laws and warns against sophistry in the debate.
