text_original: The Test Act was passed in the reign of Charles the Second, 1673, and it declared that all officers, civil or military, of the Government must take the sacrament according to the forms of the Church of England, and must take the oaths against the doctrine of transub  stantiation. This Act was, of course, regarded as a serious grievance by the Dissenters of all denominations.
