Revolution is somewhat of a misnomer to be accurate its more akin to an act of Parliament, In 1688 Parliament fearful of European Catholic intervention in England deposed the Catholic James II in favour of the Dutch Stadtholder William of Orange crowning him William III, this act established Protestantism as the nations religious faith, in effect the act forbade Catholics from the right to vote or take seat in the Westminster Parliament for over 100 years.
Catholics were also denied commissions in the British army and the monarch was forbidden to be Catholic or marry a Catholic, thus ensuring the Protestant succession.
Despite this England and certainly Scotland and Ireland continued to rebel against this position for some years yet before its end at Culloden Moor in 1746.

How were the restoration and the glorious revolution similar and different?
The Restoration involved the end of the Commonwealth introduced by the Parliamentary party and Oliver Cromwell after the Civil War, and the reversion to monarchy under Charles II. The Glorious Revolution of 1688 was instrumental in deposing his brother and successor, James II, for his incipient Catholicism and his covert dealings with France. William of Orange was invited to take the English throne on the grounds of his marriage to Jame's daughter Mary. So both were examples of 'regime change'. But the first involved a change of the system of governance (from republic to monarchy) and the second was a change of ruler within a monarchical system. However, the Glorious Revolution marked the threshold of change towards a true constitutional monarchy.
