	Youngfolk's Book of Invention
		As was the case with Morse, Howe found that the United States Supreme Court had little toleration for patent thieves, and he won a hard-fought victory.
		Elias Howe was born in 1819, the son of a miller in the small town of Spencer in Massachusetts.
		Howe went on to make a shuttle and a curved needle, and at last, in the autumn of 1844, he put together his first machine, and to his great delight found that it would work.

		2) In 1781 Joseph issued the "Toleration Patent" making Catholicism the religion of state, but permitting open worship for Calvinists, Lutherans, Orthodox Christians and Jews.
		Joseph pursued a vision of a unitary--even a uniform- state, ruled according to a single standard of best government.
		The ideas of the rights of man and the contractual nature of government led him to believe that a ruler had responsibilities toward his subjects.

	The Works of Voltaire, vol. 6 (1901): The Online Library of Liberty
		The first law that was brought forward and carried, was a law of toleration, that the Greek priest might never forget that the Latin priest was his fellow-man; that the Mussulman might bear with his Pagan brother; and that the Roman Catholic might not be tempted to sacrifice his brother Presbyterian.
		He who says that the Salic law was written with a pen from the wing of a two-headed eagle, by Pharamond& almoner, on the back of the patent containing Constantine’s donation, was not, perhaps, very much mistaken.
		At what time the Salic law was framed or interpreted is not of the slightest consequence; it does exist, it is respectable, it is useful; and its utility has rendered it sacred.

	Robert Cushman
		Cushman undertook a subsequent mission to England for the same object with Elder Brewster in 1619, when a patent was obtained in which the king granted toleration for their form of religion so long as they remained faithful subjects.
		They chartered the "Mayflower," and, while Carver was busy with the ship at Southampton, Cushman, at the solicitation of the adventurers, altered the agreement on his own responsibility, abandoning the two days a week for their private affairs that had been reserved to the colonists in the original contract.
		With John Carver he was instrumental in effecting the emigration of the pilgrims to Holland, where he joined them after they had been in Leyden several years.

	From many nations
		With the accession of William and Mary to the throne in 1688, the extremely restrictive laws in English church life were relaxed; the Toleration Act of 1689 gave expression for this.
		By virtue of the Act, the bishop had authority to ordain Lutheran candidates according to the rites of the Church of England so long as they had made a written subscription to the Thirty-nine Articles of Religion as well as to the Augsburg Confession.
		Although in England as a whole the Conventicle Act (1664) prohibited any public worship not according to the Book of Common Prayer, in Lutheran circles, however, changes were underway.

	BHHS -- Baptists and Their Theology
		In 1688–89, the Glorious Revolution occurred and in 1689, Parliament passed the Act of Toleration which was a first step toward the full religious liberty for which Baptists had argued for decades.
		In America, Roger Williams (1603–83) founded in Providence the first Baptist church in America in 1638 and made a dramatic case for religious liberty not only in his writing but by granting comprehensive religious freedom to the inhabitants of the colony of Rhode Island whose patent he secured from Parliament in 1644.
		The Particular Baptists issued their first confession of faith in London in 1644, two years after the civil war had begun and two years before the Westminster Confession was adopted.
