	The Indulgence Controversy, Again (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Indulgences were not, as Protestant polemic asserted, the invention of cynical church princes to bilk the credulous, but an institution invented by no one, the creation of a series of incremental changes that occurred over centuries.
		An indulgence is an expression of the solidarity of the wider Church (which includes Christ, Mary, and all the saints) with the person who is willing to undertake special efforts in addressing those effects or temporal punishments.
		Nevertheless, indulgences still point to what may be the nub of Catholic—Protestant differences, the question of the role of the Church in the mediation of Christ’s grace.

	Royal Declaration of Indulgence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Royal Declaration of Indulgence was Charles II of England's attempt to extend religious liberty to Protestant nonconformists in his realms, by suspending the execution of the penal laws that punished recusants from the Church of England.
		Charles issued the Declaration on March 15, 1672.
		When Charles II's openly Catholic successor James II attempted to issue a similar Declaration of Indulgence, an order for general religious tolerance, this was one of the grievances that led to the Glorious Revolution that ousted him from the throne.

	Declartion of Indulgence 1672
		The Declaration of Indulgence granted by Parliament in 1672 allowed for the licensing of nonconformist ministers and meeting houses.
		This was effected by issuing what was called a Declaration of Indulgence; all the penal laws in operation against them were suspended, and they were directed to apply forthwith for licenses to secure themselves from the troubles they had endured in the past.
		The Indulgence was cancelled, under pressure of Parliament, in 1673, and the licences were recalled in 1675, but the results for nonconformity were permanent.

		It is such a security we desire, without the burden and constraint of oaths and tests, which have been unhappily made by some governments, but could never support any; nor should men be advanced by such means to offices and employments, which ought to be the reward of services, fidelity, and merit.

	Sir Jonathan, Bart Trelawny - LoveToKnow 1911
		He was loyal to King James until the first declaration of indulgence in April 1687, when, as a bishop, he used his influence with his clergy against the king, and, as a Cornish landowner, resisted the attempt to assemble a packed parliament.
		In May 1688 Trelawny signed the petition against the second declaration of indulgence, and in the following month was imprisoned in the Tower of London with Archbishop Sancroft and five other bishops, sharing their triumphant acquittal.
		In spite of Burnet's assertion, it is probable that Trelawny did not sign the invitation to William of Orange, although he certainly welcomed his army into Bristol.

		Whether the Declaration of Indulgence lay within or without the limit was the question; and neither party could succeed in tracing any line which would bear examination.
		The Commons, not content with having forced their sovereign to annul the Indulgence, next extorted his unwilling assent to a celebrated law, which continued in force down to the reign of George the Fourth.
		He bitterly lamented the degraded situation to which England was reduced, and declared, with more energy than politeness, that his dearest wish was to cudgel the French into a proper respect for her.

	Faith & Freedom
		The culmination of James' policy to advance the Catholic interest in England was the issuing of a Declaration of Indulgence on April 4, 1687, which repealed by decree the odious Test Act (which required all holders of public office to conform to all Anglican Church rites).
		Questions raised by the Magdalen College episode and the Declaration of Indulgence were similar to those leading to Cromwell's revolt and later the American War of Independence.
		The incident that sparked the English Revolution of 1688 was the reissuing of the Declaration of Indulgence by James on May 7, 1688, and his subsequent order that it be read from every church pulpit.

		After the flight of James II, a "Convention Parliament" met, and declared that, James having broken "the orginal contract between king and people," the throne was therefore vacant.
		As an offset to these Declarations, Parliament now passed the Toleration Act, 1689, which secured freedom of worship to all religious believers except "Papists and such as deny the Trinity." This measure, though one-sided and utterly inconsistent with the broader and juster ideas of toleration which have since prevailed, was nevertheless a most important reform.
