jan 1, 1688 - Declaration of Indulgence (2)

Description:

A document issued by King James II of England in 1688, reissuing the previous year's Declaration of Indulgence. This declaration, intended to grant religious freedom to Protestants, was met with resistance from the Church of England, especially the seven bishops who refused to read it in their churches, leading to their imprisonment and ultimately contributing to James II's deposition during the Glorious Revolution.
