MS. report of the meeting of the Delegates of the Protestant Dissenters in London and the Counties, 24 February 1791, Michael Dodson, Chair.

They resolve “That though the Protestant Dissenters were unsuccessful in their application to the late house of Commons for a Repeal of Laws which they conceive to be oppressive and unjust we notwithstanding rejoice in those dawnings of Liberality which have appeared in the present House of Commons by the Disposition which they have discovered to afford Relief to our Protesting Catholic Brethren from those penal statutes against which they have justly and reasonably complained and we cordially wish success to their application.”
