Note 175 — Chapter VIII
Reading edition
The county of Essex was formally divided into classes; and the particular arrangement of them, with the names of the ministers as approved by the Committee of Lords and Commons, still exists, but beyond that, I am ignorant of what was done.
The document entitled, The Division of the County of Essex into Several Classes, &c., 1648, is printed at length, with numerous curious annotations in David's Annals of Evangelical Nonconformity in the County of Essex.
