Religious exemptions and recusants
Here is the post to which I mistakenly referred the other day: I'm reading-while-running this book, God's Traitor's: Terror and Faith in Elizabethan England (which I had downloaded, as it happens, before the enactment, inaccurate depicting, unfair criticism, overwrought villification, and revision of Indiana's RFRA-type law) which includes, in its account of the Parliament of 1571, some interesting examples of very early discussions and debate about exemptions, conscience, and the "belief v. conduct" distinction. Next up, I think: Waugh's Edmund Campion: A Life.
