[When Bayle uses the word ‘intolerance’ he is sometimes referring to the theory of government which upheld a single public religion and criminalised other sects. Yet sometimes he uses the adjective ‘intolerant’ to mean a bigoted temperament of the sort that incited others to violence. He associated Claude de Sainctes with intolerance in both senses of the word. In Remark (F), Bayle praises Henry IV's politique use of the civil power to quell such incitement to religious hatred and violence, and he urges contemporaries to read the most modern writing on the idea of toleration, including that of Van Paets, de Beauval, Locke, Jurieu, and himself. Posterity, he hopes, of whatever religion, will rise above the hypocrisy of asking if the unorthodox should be executed or ‘merely’ banished.]
