James asks the Lord Lieutenants in October 1687 to provide three standard questions to all members of the Commission of the Peace: would they consent to the repeal of the Test Act and the penal laws; would they assist candidates who would do so; and would they accept the Declaration of Indulgence.
Rochester, as Lord Lieutenant of Hertfordshire, eagerly pursues this but is told by the county squires that they will send no man to Parliament who would vote away the safeguards of the Protestant religion.
