A 19th century editorial criticizes a proposed Anglican bill limiting licensure to parishes over 2,000, warning it could deprive small parishes of clergy and force separation. It chastises bishop control, debates Convocation’s role, and urges true church liberty through reform and disestablishment.
The piece discusses Mr Fawcett's bill to open Dublin University to all creeds, Government stance on religious equality, and Ultramontane influence. It surveys Lord Shaftesbury's Ecclesiastical Courts Bill, clergy fees, lay reform, and a Newcastle meeting where Church reform was debated, with broader Nonconformist activities in Birmingham.
