Louis See also:Francois de See also:Bourbon, See also:prince de See also:Conti, interested himself in the Protestants in 1755, and in See also:July Rabaut visited him. During the years 1755–1760 periods of persecution and See also:toleration alternated. By the See also:year 1760, however, the efforts of Antoine Court and P. Rabaut had been so successful that French Protestantism was well established and organized. Court de Gebelin, Paul Rabaut, and his son See also:Saint-See also:Etienne now exerted themselves to get it recognized by the See also:law and See also:government. When the See also:people revolted, the See also:minister See also:Turgot in 1775 requested Rabaut to See also:calm them. His success aroused the See also:jealousy of his colleagues, who tried to undo the See also:good See also:work started by Antoine Court. But Rabaut persevered in his efforts to improve legally the position of the Protestants. In 1785, when he was visited by General La Fayette, it was arranged that Rabaut's son, Rabaut Saint-Etienne, should go to See also:Paris on behalf of the Reformed Church. In See also:November 1787 Louis XVI.'s See also:edict of toleration was signed, though it was not registered until the 29th of January 1788. Two years later See also:liberty of See also:conscience was proclaimed by the See also:National See also:Assembly, of which Rabaut Saint-Etienne was chosen vice-president, and it was declared that non-Catholics might be admitted to all positions. After the fall of the See also:Girondists, however, in which Rabaut Saint-Etienne was involved, Paul Rabaut, who had refused to renounce his See also:title of pastor, was arrested, dragged to the citadel of Nimes, and kept in See also:prison seven See also:weeks (1794). He died at Nimes on the 25th of See also:September 1794, soon after his See also:release.
