The COMMISSIONERS having proposed Questions to Sir Edmund Jennings to which they Desired his Answer He Reply'd BEfore I can give Answer to the Questions Propos'd I Desire to be satisfied in these Queries I. Whether for a Man to declare his Opinion or Resolution out of Parliament to Endeavour the Repeal of the Laws made for the Security of the King and Government be not an Endeavouring the Alteration of the Government II. Whether to Endeavour an Alteration in the Government be not Criminal III. Whether there lies any Obligation upon a Man to give his Answer in Manner and Form Propos'd The Commissioners not giving Satisfaction to Sir Edmund's Queries he told them He did not think fit to give any Answer to Theirs under his Hand But by way of Discourse he would tell them his Opinion which was to this Effect I. I cannot say how I should Vote if I should be a Member of Parliament because I would Inform my Judgment as well as I could upon the Arguments and Debates I should hear in the House II. I am of Opinion at present that some Penal Laws may be Repeal'd but the Tests not to be Repeal'd because they were made for the Security of the Government and the Preservation of the Reform'd Religion according to the Doctrine of the Church of England And no Man can think this a Time to Repeal such but such as desire to Settle Popery in the Nation III. I will Endeavour the Election of such Members to serve in Parliament as I conceive will be Loyal and Faithful to the King and Government and will Endeavour the Preservation of the Reform'd Religion and will Promote the true Interest of the Nation IV. If his Majesties Declaration of Indulgence be according to Law it will Support it self If it be not according to Law it is not in my Power to Support it V. I will live Peaceably with all Men that will live Peaceably with Me.
