Contained is a dense record of 17th century parliamentary actions including orders to appoint Judge Bertleysfine for Sir William Waters and a fine of 20000 pounds reduced to 6,000 pounds with discharge on payment. The scene shifts to grand Committee debates on Assembly of Divines propositions about minister ordination and Archbishop’s trial in the Lord House.

It also notes plunder at Carnargen and Plymouth enemy movements near the town with troops, arms, and munitions seized.
