An Act for preventing Occasional Conformity in 1704
A long excerpted bill from The Dublin Intelligence notes the 1704 act aimed at preventing Occasional Conformity. It details that after March 24 1663 no mayor, alderman, or other city officers who had not taken the Lord's Supper according to the Church of England could hold office. It also repeats provisions from earlier acts against Papists and those receiving salaries or offices, enforcing sacramental requirements for officeholders and disqualifying violators from public duty. The piece cites the act’s measures to deter nonconformist worship among civil and royal offices in England, Wales, and Berwick upon Tweed.
