Synopsis

This book presents a collection of political documents from the late 17th century, a period of religious upheaval in England. One of the documents included is the famous "Declaration of Indulgence" by King James II, which granted liberty of conscience to all religious groups in England. The book also includes responses to the Declaration from various individuals and groups, including the Archbishop of Canterbury, who argued that the Declaration was illegal and that religious freedom should not be extended to Catholics. The book provides a valuable insight into the religious and political debates of the time, which continue to resonate today. It demonstrates how fears of religious persecution can lead to conflict and division within a society, and highlights the importance of religious tolerance and the rule of law.
