Religious discipline and military actions in 17th century England

A fragmentary report discusses religious requirements for communion and repentance, plus orders about ministers’ sustenance. It covers disqualifications for the Lords Supper, including incests, adulterers, drunkards, profane cursers, and murderers. The narrative shifts to Civil War updates with Sir Williams Waller, Crummell, Molberne near Dorchester, Prince Rupert’s movements, Oxford, and English garrisons, indicating troop movements and sieges, and ends noting an York petition for ministerial stipends funded from bishoprics revenues.
