University Tests Bill Proposes Clergy Opinion Declaration
In the House committee, Sir R. Palmer moved to require professors to declare they will not teach any opinion contrary to the Divine authority of the Holy Scriptures or the Church of England. Debates followed on whether such tests should exist, with opposition from many peers who argued it would impede truth and science and unfairly target dissenters. The clause was later withdrawn and other amendments discussed before the bill's fate.
