Note 460 — Chapter XV
Reading edition
Morley stated at the Savoy Conference "that some places had no ministers at all through all those times of usurpation," and instanced Aylesbury. Baxter told him: "I never knew any such; and therefore I knew there were not many such in England." With regard to Aylesbury, he says the story was false, as he ascertained there were usually in that town two at a time.—Life and Times, part ii., 340. Some poor parishes might, during a part of the period, be without ministers.
