[3] In 1700 Asgill had published An Argument Proving, that … Man may be Translated, a pamphlet aiming to prove that death was not obligatory upon Christians, which, much to his surprise, caused a public outcry and led to his expulsion from the Irish House of Commons in 1703, only a short time after he had stood successfully for Enniscorthy.
He had moved to Ireland where the act for returning the forfeited estates which had been given away by William was providing work for lawyers.
Whilst in Ireland he had been re-elected to the English House of Commons for Bramber in 1702 and so returned to England.
Nevertheless, two days after ordering his release from prison, he was expelled from the Commons for authoring a blasphemous book.
He fell on hard times, and passed the rest of his life between the Fleet prison and the King's Bench, but his zeal as a pamphleteer continued unabated.
