Theology prof seeking to live more fully into the glorious truths I am called to teach. If I'm not in the here and now you'll find me in the 17th C. Projects on George Herbert (profile pic) and Rev. Henry Fairfax (Sir Tom's uncle, hence the other pic)
#EarlyModern #17thC I'd be glad of some help with how assessments for these 3 levies were calculated. I'm researching a clergyman who paid £5 for the 1620 clergy Palatinate 'loan', over £6 in 1639 for the Scottish war (these seem rather steep!) and £1 6s 8d p/a (1634-36) for the repair of St Paul’s.

#EarlyModern #17thC Forbidden Desire: main point re Mediterranean vs N. Europe taken, but it seemed like an exhaustive exercise in largely missing the broader point (until the last chapter...sort of). As a non-expert in this area what should I read as a supplement/corrective esp. re 17th C England?
