Toleration Act, 1689. Though the Act did not grant whole‐hearted toleration, it has been hailed as ‘the grand landmark … in the history of dissent’, since it legally sanctioned schism. Those unable to accept Anglican liturgy could worship in unlocked meeting‐houses, licensed by the bishop, provided that the minister subscribed to the Thirty‐Nine Articles except on baptism and church government. Catholics and unitarians were excluded.
