Declaration of Indulgence

The Declaration of Indulgence (or the declaration for the liberty of conscience) was made by King James II of England, on the April 4, 1687. It was a first step at establishing freedom of religion in England.

It was later revised, again by King James II, on April 27, 1688 to include further text.

The declaration was voided when James was deposed in the Glorious Revolution later that year.
