Propose that Papists should have
That a Cross should be set up over the principal
Door of every House where any one of the
Family (except hermits) is a Papist: and no
Sacrament to be adminster'd in any House
where there is none no Cross except that of Extreme
Unction: which may be administer'd in any [to
provide for the contingency of a Papist's dying lying
sick in the House of a Protestant] so that provided that an
Affidavit of such administration by the Priest shall be trans
-mitted within .... days to some Justice of
the Peace. - Such House also to be register'd
with the number of it's Catholic Inhabitants.
A Scheme of this effectual kind (effectual I mean
should it be entere'd into approved of by those in whose power it
is deigned)which would bring every one of that people within the knowledge and the mercy of Governmentwould be looked upon with jealous
eye by the Papists themselves, were they not satis-
fied as I trust they are that it is now become
the fixed and permanent resolution of the Government
not to afford them any molestation which it is
possible to avoid.
God forbid it should be put in practice
any otherwise than upon the terms of that
abolition of the atrocious penalties that subsist
at present—of a Toleration, the two greatadded text
designs & purposes of which should be on the one
hand that no man should be subjected deleted text by pos
-sibility to any punishment whatever for the
bare exercise of his religion: as to himself on the other to pre-
-vent deleted text by every method consistient with the former
end, the spreading of it amongst others.
