Locke. Of course StilHngfleet's views as to comprehension and toleration found no favor in the reigns of the second Charles and the se- cond James, but in William III. He found a monarch who held the most statesmanlike and Christian views upon this subject. William almost immediately, upon Irs accession, addressed himself to the solution of this great problem. The difficulty was an inheritance from the Reformation. The divergencies of theological and ecclesiastical opinion were, on the whole, w...isely managed during the first century of this period, but the ecclesiastical measures adopted at the Restora- tion rendered separation a permanent element in English history. William hoped that it was not too late to heal the difficulties which had arisen. He therefore appointed an ecclesiastical commission, of which Stillingfleet was one of the principal members, with directions that they should revise the Liturgy, so as to do away, if possible, with the objections of the non-con- formists. Parliament also took in hand the subject of toleration and comprehension.
