Arguments being cited are New Testament, and case of Marquess of Northampton under Edward VI. On Conventicle Bill 'is very severe. . .yet I am confident all of this will signifie little or nothing' . Wordin dubious, 'few knew how to act uppon them'. Would have been better tacked on the act against papists.
