The expansion of the military caused great concern, particularly in England and Scotland, where memories of the civil war left huge resistance to standing armies.[32] In Ireland, Talbot replaced Protestant officers with Catholics; James did the same in England, while basing the troops at Hounslow appeared a deliberate attempt to overawe Parliament.[33] In April 1688, he ordered the Declaration of Indulgence read in every church; when the Archbishop of Canterbury and six other bishops refused, they were charged with seditious libel and confined in the Tower of London. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-6519.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-6519.txt
