A39442 An abridgment; or, a summary account of all the statute laws of this kingdom made against Jesuites, seminary priests, and popish recusants drawn up for the benefit of my dear Protestant countrey men, and specially of the juries of England; who, in pursuance of his Majesties proclamation, published at the request and desire of the two houses of Parliament, are to present and indict all Jesuites, priests, and popish recusants, according to the tenor and effect of the said statute laws, and of the said proclamation. Done by a Protestant, to inform such of his fellow subjects, that are ignorant of these laws, and would be willing to do their duties, where and when the laws injoyn them thereto. 1666 (1666) Wing E861; ESTC R200827 16,826 20
