THE CASE OF CORPORATIONS .

WHEREAS most Corporations in England have , in Persuance to the TEST-ACT of the 25th of King Charles the II , turned several Members of their respective Corporations out of their Offices , for not qualifying themselves , as that Act directs ; and have elected and admitted new Officers into their Places , who have qualify'd themselves according to that Law , which is known to be the only Bulwark that secures the Church of England against all its Enemies ; and was eminently known to be serviceable against the Oppressions of the late Reign . And whereas in the Votes of Thursday , the sevent Day of March , there is a Clause ordered to be added to the Bill , to prevent Disputes that may arise by Members of Corporations , having neglected to sign the Association in due time , for indemnifying such Members of Corporations as neglected to qualifie themselves according to that Law .

It s humbly conceived , That such Clause , if is passes into an Act , will be highly prejudicial , not only to all Corporations , but to the Law if self , in the following Instances , Viz .

1st . It will vacate all that has been done in Corporations upon that Act , and will re-instate all that have been turned out of their Offices for their Disobedience thereto .

2dly . It will turn out all such other Members as have been elected and admitted into their Places , and qualify'd themselves according to Law ; and will thereby cast a publick Odium and Reflection on such Persons as if they were Offenders , though they have been guilty of no Crime , but conformed themselves to the Laws of the Realm .

3dly . It will greatly tend to the weakening that good and wholsome Law ; and will , in all probability , incourage Persons to decline complying with the Directions of it ; and may in time render that Law Useless , which at present , is the greatest Security and Preservation of our Church and Nation .
