dians to revolt against the government, and they established the English Church, so for as it could be done in a Province where the Episcopalians were very few in number by requiring each of the towns to raise money lor the support of the clergy of that church, by dividing the country into parishes, and by exercising the power of collating and inducting into these parishes such Episcopal Rectors as they thought fit.' In New Jersey, after the surrender of the Charter, when the Colony came directly under the royal authority in 1702, liberty of conscience was \n-oclaimed in favor of all except Papists and Quakers ; but as the latter were required to take oaths as qualifications for holding office, or for acting as jurors or witnesses injudicial proceedings, they, of course the great mass of the population, were practically disfranchised. But the story of the arbitrary measures taken by the Governor of this Colony [New Jersey], Lord Cornbury, to exclude from office or the control of public affairs all except those who conformed to the Church of England is too well known to need to be retold here. In ^Maryland the English Church was established in IG'.'ii. and one of the first acts of the newly organized Province was to disfranchise those very Catholics and their children by whom the doctrine of religious liberty had been established in the law of 164!). In Carolina after the fanciful and impracticable Ccmstitution devised for it by the celebrated philosopher, John Locke, had been given up, by which the English Church had been established, and endowed in the Colony, the Church feeling was so strong, and the determination to secure its supremacy so unyielding, that an Act was passed in 1704 requiring all members of the Assembly to take the sacrament according to the rites of the Chui'cli of England.
