207 might constitutionally dispense with bad laws, but not with good laws. The absurdity of such a distinction it is needless to expose. The doctrine which seems to have been generally received in the House of Commons was, that the dispensing power >vas confined to secular mat- ters, and did not extend to laws enacted for the security of the established religion.
