In 1696 after experiencing decades of exclusion and imprisonment for conscientiously refusing to take loyalty and court oaths Parliament granted Quakers the right to take a "solemn affirmation" in legal situations in place of an actual oath. Over the next two decades numerous Quakers objected to the invocation of God's name in the official affirmation and refused it as they had the oath. In 1715 a bill was under consideration in Parliament to renew indefinitely the Quakers' right to the affirmation. The Quaker authors of the present petition support the bill but ask that it be amended with a revised affirmation that does not include the name of God.

1715WRCAM39824London 1715. 4pp. Printed in two columns. Dbd. Small folio. Early folds and early stab holes in left margin. Some foxing. Very good. A rare and expansive appeal to Parliament against the 1715 bill to renew the Quakers' right to the "solemn affirmation" in place of the legal oath. In 1696 after experiencing decades of exclusion and imprisonment for conscientiously refusing to take loyalty and court oaths Quakers were granted the right by an act of Parliament to take a "solemn affirmation" in legal situations in place of an actual oath. In 1715 a bill was under consideration in Parliament to renew that act indefinitely. Significantly longer than most lobbying documents from this time this petition asks that Parliament only extend the act if the affirmation be made "of no Force where they are concern'd in Interest but where they only Affirm as Witnesses between others there being no Temptation for them to Lye when it brings no Profit to them." Many Quakers by this time had achieved significant prosperity in manufacturing and commerce adding fuel to their enemies' resentment. The author of this pamphlet charges various Friends with hypocrisy greed and swindling and reprints an earlier petition describing six widows of commanders of two "Guinea ships" allegedly defrauded by Quakers including one Quaker from Maryland.
