Influences
Historians (such as John J. Patrick) see John Locke's four letters advocating religious toleration (written in 1685 and published in 1689) as "the philosophical foundation for the English Act of Toleration of 1689". While Locke had advocated coexistance between the Church of England (the official state church) and dissenting Protestant denominations (including Congregationalists, Baptists, Presbyterians, and Quakers) he had excluded Catholics from toleration - the same policy that the Act of Toleration enacted.
