Case of the Dissenters on Toleration in England
A reflective piece recounts the 1689 Toleration Act, arguing it granted dissenters liberty to worship while requiring subscription to some articles. It notes changes in dissenting opinions since then, questions enforcement of penalties, and defends easing penalties as aligned with Protestant liberty and private judgment. It cites Locke and various church figures, urging lawmakers to align law with toleration’s spirit.
