[54] By the 1st Geo. II, cap. 9, sec. 7, it was enacted that no Papist
could vote at an election, without taking the oath of supremacy--an oath
which no Catholic could take. Primate Boulter thought he saw a

the natives in favour of Irish, interests, and taking alarm at the
prospect of such a dreadful calamity, he got the Ministers to pass this
law.
