 Early in 1688, a pamphlet titled "The Letter" circulated in England, composed by Grand Pensionary Gaspar Fagel, who handled the Dutch foreign affairs.This claimed to be a response to arguments in support of repeal by James Stewart; a Presbyterian radical and exile, in 1692 he was appointed Lord Advocate by William and was almost certainly a double agent.Fagel guaranteed freedom of worship but retained the Test Acts, which many Dissenters viewed as essential and undercut James, who offered tolerance but only in return for repeal.
