1 William and Mary, exempted those taking the new oaths of allegiance and supremacy, and making the required declaration against popery, from the penalties incurred by absence from church and by holding unlawful conventicles ; allowed Quakers to make affirmation in certain cases ; but did not relax the provisions of the Corporation and Test Acts.
