* This was another of the unmeaning Parliamentary Fasts, forced on the 
country at the opening of Parliament on April 13th by a ‘*‘Committee on 
Religion,” and resisted by Archbishop Laud. 
+ This refers to the agreement come to between the Parliament of England 
and Scotland, on the former consenting to abandon episcopacy to win the 
latter away from the King. 
{ The observance of the Parliamentary Fasts, upon which all work was 
prohibited, was so much resisted, that the watchers were placed in some parts 
upon the church towers to note and present all who might be seen engaged in 
their fields.
