To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Bill was very imperfect in itself; the tenets with which it dealt were indignantly repudiated by all enlightened Roman Catholics, and the oath, which was to procure them exemption from penalties, was of such a character that none but a very lax Papist could bring himself to take it. Neither did the Bill satisfy the friends of religious liberty in Parliament. Mr Fox urged that such relief as was to be granted should be granted to all Romanists alike, and Mr Pitt saw no danger in allowing rel...igious liberty to Papists. In the House of Lords the Bill in its original form was objected to, but the Archbishop of Canterbury (Dr Moore), and the Bishop of St David's (Dr Horsley), succeeded in altering it by amendments until it was likely to be a real relief to all Roman Catholics. An entirely different oath was substituted for the one first proposed, one that no Papist need scrapie to take; and on taking it, he was free to enjoy his property, was safe from the hitherto dangerous "nearest Protestant heir, " and though the army and navy were still closed against him the law was opened to him as a profession.
