What is the oldest written source in this country that mentions this right?

Indonesia

Article 28E Sections 1 and 2 establish personal freedoms in the Indonesian constitution: “Every person shall be free to choose and to practice the religion of his/her choice… Every person shall have the right to the freedom to believe his/her faith (kepercayaan), and to express his/her views and thoughts, in accordance with his/her conscience” (constituteproject.org). But it “states citizens must accept restrictions established by law to protect the rights of others… to satisfy ‘just demands based upon considerations of morality, religious values, security, and public order in a democratic society’” (state.gov).
