Note 504 — Chapter VI
Reading edition
Parl. Hist. 1030, from Petyt's Jus Parliamentarium, the earliest book, as far as I know, where this important document is preserved. The entry on the Journals, p. 243, contains only the first paragraph. Hume and Carte have been ignorant of it. It is just alluded to by Rapin.
It is remarked that the attendance of members in this session was more frequent than had ever been known, so that fresh seats were required. Journals, 141.
