A letter by Anglican clergyman Henry Phillpotts (1778-1869) to Foreign Secretary George Canning (1770-1827) denouncing the latter's support for Roman Catholic emancipation, arguing that proposed strategies provided inadequate security, and suggesting an alternative test in which Catholics would acknowledge potential salvation within the Church of England and and swear to do no harm to it.
