[In February 1641/2 most adult males in England and Wales took the Protestation Oath as ordained by Parliament almost a year earlier. It was also a tax assessment as the King needed money for Scottish wars. It was a Tudor type subsidy, poll tax and a fixed assessment.]
“I… promise, vow and protest to maintain to defend … the true Reformed Protestant Religion… 6th May 1840 House of Commons bill imposed the signing on all Englishmen.”
