The Ignoramus Justices

Being an Answer to the Order of Sessions at Hick's-Hall, Bearing Date the 13th of January, 1681. Wherein it plainly appears, the said Order is against Law. Also A short Account of all the Acts that relate to Protestant Dissenters At this day in force against them, which will appear only two viz. The Act made in the 22 year of this King, intituled, An Act against Conventicles. The other, called, The Oxford Act, or Five mile Act, made in the 17 of this King. And Also An Account of such Acts as are in force against Popish Recusants, which are now so industriously endeavoured by those Justices as well as others, to be turned against the Protestant Dissenters; And wherein it will plainly appear, there is no ground for such Proceedings. And hereunto is also added A brief Account of the Penalties and Forfeitures of those Acts, and some Directions to the Officers that may be threatned or persuaded to Act by such Unwarrantable Orders from such Ignoramus Justices
