Ruth,
I greatly appreciate your kindness.
By the way, what did the following sentences mean?:
'Ordered by the Commons Assembled in Parliament
That Mr. Recorder & Mr. Selden[=John Selden] do confer with such
Judges as are in Town and acquaint them from this house That if they
shall have any persons brought before them upon any fact committed by
them which upon examination shall appear to be done in pursuance and
obedience of any Ordinance of Parliament That the parties be
discharged And that the Judges do give so much in Charge and direction
to the Jurors And that Mr. Recorder & Mr. Selden do prepare a Hotter
to be sent to such other of the Judges as they shall not meet within
the Town.'
