Debated Subscription to the Thirty Nine Articles in Commons
Tuesday February 23 House of Commons debated whether to set a committee to examine subscription or tests for matriculation at Oxford and Cambridge. Sir William Meredith argued against imposing tests, while Sir Roger Newdigate and others defended the universities' rights and cautioned Parliament against intruding. The division showed strong opposition to Speaker quitting the chair and broader worries on religious conformity and civil liberty.
