| Description | [For relief from subscription to the 39 articles]. 'Upon the whole, [Members of Parliament] look'd upon it as one of those bills, which ought to be thrown out by the House of Peers & not by the Commons. & conceiving that they had given evident proofs of their attachment to the Church in two instances during the present Session, think it hard to press'd a third time in a case, where their conduct may endanger their own seats, but where the Lords may act with perfect freedom, & without the least apprehension.'
