Declarations of Indulgence. Four proclamations by Charles II and James II on religious toleration. The Worcester House Declaration of 1660 granted a temporary indulgence in ceremonial matters. Of the Declarations of Indulgence properly so called, that of 1662 announced Charles II's intention of placing before Parliament a bill allowing him more power to suspend the operation of the penal laws against dissenters from the C of E. The other three, in 1672, 1687, and 1688, suspended the operation of these laws by virtue of the royal prerogative. See also JAMES II.
