TitleDeclarations against transubstantiation
Date1673-1828
DescriptionBy the Test Act 25 Ch II c2 (1673) persons holding civil or military office were obliged to deliver into court a certificate that they had received the Lord's Supper according to the usage of the Church of England (see Q/RR/1) and also, when taking the oaths of office, they were to make a declaration denying the doctrine of transubstantiation. This Act was re-enacted with amendments from 1701 onwards and was repealed in 1828.
Registers in the form of rolled parchment membranes, of all those who having delivered sacrament certificates into court, also made a declaration denying the doctrine of transubstantiation. Usually give signatures only.
