" "Among the Nonconformists were, " he added, " three opinions relating to the Catholics : that of those w ho would re peal all the penal laws against religious wor ship, but maintain the disabilities for office and Parliament: that of those who would admit the Catholics to office, but continue their exclusion from both Houses of Par liament; and that of a still more indul gent party, who would consent to remove the recent exclusion of the Catholic peers, trusting to the oath of supremacy in the reign of Elizabeth, as a legal, though it had not proved in practice a constant, bar against their entrance into the House of Commons: to say nothing of a fourth project, entertained by zealous Catholics and thorough courtiers, that Catholic peers and commoners should claim their seats in both Houses by virtue of royal dispensations, which would relieve them from the oaths and declarations against their religion required by law, an attempt which the King himself had felt to be too hazardous, as being likely to excite a general commotion on the first day of the session, to produce an immediate rupture with the new r Parliament, and to forfeit all the advantage which had been already gained by a deter mination of both Houses against the validity of the dispensations.
