He produced an opposing pamphlet and preached a sermon in which he took the ill-chosen text, These people being Jews do exceedingly trouble our city (Acts 16:20).' (John Crosby, Evangelical Times). The Jewish Naturalisation Act of 1753 sought to remove the requirement for foreign-born individuals 'professing the Jewish Religion' (26 George 2 c.26) to receive Holy Communion, a stipulation which had hitherto prevented non-Christians from obtaining British citizenship. Despite receiving the royal assent, an anti-Semitic backlash stoked-up by propaganda misrepresenting the terms of the act led to its repeal the following year. ESTC T25800; Roth, p.222, no.102.
