[Footnote 36: In respect to ecclesiastical affairs
the Bill of Rights was supplemented by the
Toleration Act of May 24, 1689, in which was
provided "some ease to scrupulous consciences in
the exercise of religion," i.e., a larger measure
of liberty for Protestant non-conformists. The text
of the Bill of Rights is in Stubbs, Select
Charters, 523-528; Gee and Hardy, Documents
Illustrative of English Church History, 645-654;
and Adams and Stephens, Select Documents, 462-469;
that of the Toleration Act, in Gee and Hardy,
654-664; and, in abridged form, in Adams and
Stephens, 459-462. General accounts of the period
1660-1689 are contained in R. Lodge, History of
England from the Restoration to the Death of
William III. (London, 1910), Chaps. 1-15, and in
Trevelyan, England Under the Stuarts, Chaps. 11-13.
O. Airy. Charles II., is an excellent book. The
development of Parliament in the period is
described in Smith, History of the English
Parliament, I., Bk. 8, II., Bk. 9.]
