PARTICULARS OF PRIESTS IN ENGLAND AND WALES, 1692. FROM
THE ARCHIVES OF THE OLD BROTHERHOOD. BY THE REV. RAYMUND STANFIELD.
CONTRIBUTED
This description was supplied to the " Old Chapter of England ," now represented by the " Old Brotherhood , " by the Rev. John Ward, the Secretary. He was son of Thomas Ward, the author of Errata to the Protestant Bible, England's Reformation , and several other controversial and historical works . The original is now amongst the archives of the " Old Brotherhood and has been transcribed by me for the Society . It is here reduced into short paragraphs . Mr. Joseph S. Hansom has added the explanations in square brackets and footnotes , refraining from comment , except for the curiously named Quousque . may be well to say that the references to " A Roman mean that the R. S. subject was educated at the English College in Rome.
