	Toleration [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Tolerant restraint of the negative judgment is supposed to be free and deliberate: one refrains from negating the thing because one has a reason not to negate it and is free to act.
		Proponents of toleration think that toleration is good not because they are unsure of their moral values but, rather, because toleration fits within a scheme of moral values that includes values such as autonomy, peace, cooperation, and other values that are thought to be good for human flourishing.
		Tolerance demands that we moderate and control our passions in light of some larger good, whether that good be respect for autonomy or an interest in self-control; tolerance does not demand that we completely refrain from judging the other.

	H-Net Review: Jerry Frost on Conscience and Community: Revisiting Toleration and Religious ...
		Even so, the religious toleration advocated by the Levellers, Cromwell, Williams, Penn, and James II was more expansive than what prevailed after the so-called Act of Toleration.
		Murphy is correct that natural rights had little to do with the origins of toleration in the seventeenth century; he is also right to focus on the sectarian religious origins which were as important in creating disorder as focusing the debate.
		I also agree that early toleration was a source of instability--in Rhode Island, Commonwealth England, early Pennsylvania, under James I. He provides a good place to catch up on the recent literature on a wide variety of issues, but his brevity in each section will mean that scholars holding opposing conclusions will not be convinced.

	Maryland Toleration Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Maryland Toleration Act, also known as the "Act Concerning Religion" was a law passed in 1649 by the colonial assembly of the Province of Maryland mandating religious toleration of all Christian denominations.
		In order to protect the Catholics who originally founded the colony and who were being rapidly outnumbered, the Calverts threw their support behind the Act Concerning Religion, essentially an effort to secure religious freedom for Catholics.
		While the Act prevented outright persecution for a long time, it failed to prevent a political struggle over the control of the colonial assembly.

		The Maryland Toleration Act did not bring complete religious freedom, as is so often assumed, and as a reading of this document will quickly prove.
		The Toleration Act, it was believed, was a way of providing protection for Catholics while at the same time representing a nod in the direction of the English government, which in 1649 and for a dozen years thereafter was firmly under the control of the English Puritans.
		In the eighteenth century this distinction was given to the Church of England.

		But however manifold the evils be that toleration is big with, this church, instead of opposing, seems to have complied therewith, and to be of toleration principles; which is evident, not only from their receiving into communion the Scots curates, of which above; but from their joining in communion with Mr.
