A48813	An answer to the Bishop of Oxford's reasons for abrogating the test impos'd on all members of Parliament anno 1678, Octob. 30 in these words, I, A.B., do solemnly and sincerely, in the presence of God, profess, testifie, and declare, that I do believe that in the sacrament of the Lord's Supper there is not any transubstantiation of the elements of bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ at, or after the consecration thereof by any person whatsoever, and that the invocation of adoration of the Virgin Mary, or any other saint, and the sacrifice of the Dais, as they are now used in the Church of Rome, are superstitious and idolatrous / by a person of quality.	Lloyd, William, 1627-1717.	1688 (1688)	Wing L2673; ESTC R977	35,814	60

hold_v it_o not_o only_o for_o himself_o but_o for_o that_o whole_a estate_n the_o whole_a be_v acknowledge_v in_o every_o member_n and_o particular_o sit_v and_o vote_v in_o the_o high_a house_n of_o parliament_n which_o be_v therefore_o with_o honour_n to_o that_o estate_n call_v the_o house_n of_o lord_n be_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v the_o just_a right_n of_o peerage_n without_o any_o infraction_n upon_o the_o right_n itself_o 3._o even_o those_o noble_a lord_n who_o do_v refuse_v or_o do_v not_o actual_o submit_v to_o the_o take_v the_o test_n have_v yet_o their_o right_n of_o birth_n blood_n or_o other_o title_n preserve_v undisputed_a and_o inviolate_a as_o it_o be_v such_o a_o right_n and_o on_o such_o a_o claim_n and_o therefore_o whenever_o they_o please_v to_o accept_v it_o on_o that_o condition_n there_o be_v no_o demur_n upon_o their_o right_n but_o until_o they_o so_o accept_v their_o right_n be_v in_o a_o kind_n of_o abeyance_n and_o custody_n of_o law_n for_o they_o and_o never_o die_v or_o be_v extinguish_v 4._o the_o suspension_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n amount_v no_o high_a to_o the_o defalcation_n of_o the_o privilege_n nor_o indeed_o so_o high_a than_o the_o minority_n of_o such_o noble_a person_n which_o cause_n be_v a_o suspension_n of_o that_o privilege_n of_o vote_v in_o parliament_n till_o they_o be_v of_o age_n which_o be_v not_o at_o their_o pleasure_n but_o require_v the_o natural_a course_n of_o time_n to_o advance_v they_o to_o it_o whereas_o in_o this_o case_n they_o may_v in_o construction_n of_o law_n every_o day_n remove_v the_o obstruction_n and_o enjoy_v their_o right_n see_v the_o claim_n be_v always_o allow_v and_o own_a and_o the_o law_n take_v no_o notice_n of_o the_o reason_n of_o their_o refusal_n 5._o this_o be_v make_v most_o evident_a in_o that_o all_o other_o natural_a right_n of_o their_o peerage_n be_v notwithstanding_o the_o suspension_n of_o this_o particular_a branch_n continue_v to_o they_o 6._o it_o be_v most_o undeniable_a their_o right_n of_o blood_n or_o other_o claim_n to_o the_o privilege_n of_o parliament_n be_v unmoved_a because_o not_o their_o take_v the_o test_n but_o that_o precedent_n and_o still_o continue_v just_o right_o give_v they_o a_o perfect_a enjoyment_n of_o that_o particular_a privilege_n whenever_o they_o take_v the_o test._n which_o be_v i_o hope_v a_o full_a vindication_n of_o the_o natural_a right_n of_o peerage_n from_o be_v utter_o destroy_v see_v it_o be_v only_o one_o branch_n that_o be_v in_o question_n and_o that_o be_v only_o suspend_v or_o rather_o deposit_v in_o trust_n with_o the_o house_n of_o peer_n and_o no_o way_n destroy_v or_o extinguish_v 2._o i_o come_v therefore_o to_o make_v good_a in_o the_o second_o place_n that_o the_o birthright_a os_fw-la the_o english_a nobility_n be_v not_o turn_v into_o a_o precarious_a title_n nor_o that_o which_o in_o former_a age_n be_v forfeit_v only_o by_o treason_n be_v now_o at_o the_o mercy_n of_o every_o faction_n or_o every_o passion_n in_o parliament_n for_o that_o can_v never_o be_v precarious_a nor_o at_o such_o mercy_n which_o subsist_v and_o rest_v upon_o the_o common_a base_a of_o the_o whole_a world_n for_o its_o security_n and_o that_o be_v the_o law_n of_o self-preservation_n for_o when_o a_o parliament_n consist_v of_o two_o house_n and_o the_o upper_a house_n of_o two_o estate_n each_o estate_n a_o convention_n as_o be_v to_o be_v always_o presume_v of_o the_o wise_a and_o most_o honourable_a person_n of_o a_o whole_a nation_n the_o low_a house_n

therefore_o can_v rational_o so_o much_o as_o essay_n they_o with_o any_o law_n that_o will_v destroy_v the_o right_n of_o their_o peerage_n but_o suppose_v the_o house_n of_o commons_o shall_v make_v

interest_n shall_v either_o be_v impose_v upon_o or_o draw_v by_o whatsoever_o motive_n to_o consent_v to_o the_o destruction_n of_o their_o very_a constitution_n there_o be_v no_o strong_a passion_n or_o more_o bind_a cement_n than_o that_o of_o self-preservation_n and_o yet_o the_o preparation_n of_o the_o two_o house_n for_o the_o bring_v forth_o a_o law_n do_v but_o form_n the_o material_n
