| 17 Jun 1823 | Dissenters Dissent.--Married on Friday, the 23d instant at
Westham church, by Mr. Jones, rector of Stratford, and one of the chaplains
of the bishop of London, Mr. John Dobell of Cranbrook, Kent, to Miss Julietta
Tompson, 4th daughter of Samuel Thompson [sic], Esq. of Plaistow, Essex.
The parties being protestant dissenters, commonly known by the name of Freethinking
christians, presented to the minister a written protest against the marriage
ceremony, in which they expressed their reasons of opposition on the following
grounds:-- 1st. Because, whilst obeying the civil institution of the country, they deny the scriptural authority of "the church of England" to decree rites and ceremonies, much less to impose such on those who dissent from its community. 2d, Because, whilst not disputing the civil, they do not admit the scriptural authority of the minister by whom the marriage ceremony is performed, believing the Jewish priesthood to have been superseded by christianity, and none after to have been instituted by Christ. 3d[,] Because, they do not believe the doctrine of trinity, in the name of which the marriage ceremony is solemnized; this doctrine appearing to them, and being by the christian church of which they are members, publicly represented to be as but one among the many lamentable corruptions of christianity alike repugnant to reason, and contrary to scripture." Married also, on the same day at St. James's Clerkenwell, by Mr. Burder, Mr. Richard Nelms, of Angel place, Pentonville, to Miss Sophia Ranger, of Marden, Kent, who also delivered into the hands of the officiating minister a similar protest to the above. |
