I question the applicability of the claim that "*this Act* made church attendance mandatory every Sunday" since the source cited for this claim is Thomas, Heather. Life and Times of Queen Elizabeth I. 1998. Accessed Feb. 16, 2005. http://www.elizabethi.org
The author of this article has conflated several Acts of Uniformity.
"The Uniformity Act of 1662 under Charles II, which was preceded by similarly named acts in 1549, 1552 and 1559, sought to restore the dominance of the Church of England by establishing a set form of worship, which included compiling a new version of the Book of Common Prayer (Keir 240). The use of this book was mandatory at all religious services. Additionally, this Act made church attendance mandatory every Sunday, under the penalty of a fine of 12 pence." http://www.cornellcollege.edu/eng…
Gerry, Phil emailed me about the blank page ; he has become far more copyright-sensitive, as the owner of this site, since he himself put up an L&M entry. Annotations are a different but also snsitive matter. Since his request a while back, I - earlier a serial offender - have paraphrased where I could. Today's entry, tomorrow's and the next day's, are exceptions.
Jeannine, et al., Phil is committed to Wheatley only, and so will put up a blank page for the 30th. There are also missing parts of 31, which can also be supplied in annotations.
Susan, is tomorrow’s (30 August) entry in your Wheatley? If it is, perhaps you will post it or send it by email to Phil to post, since it's lacking in the Project Gutenberg edition?!
Roy and Susan, I misunderstood "bowdlerized" - you are correct!
"Thomas Bowdler (July 11, 1754 – February 24, 1825), an English physician, is best known as the source of the eponym bowdlerise, the process of censorship by arbitrary deletion of 'objectionable' material from a work of literature to 'purify' it." ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowd… I learn someting on this site every day. Susan, is tomorrow's (30 August) entry in your Wheatley? If it is, perhaps you will post it?
For the most part Wheatley is fine, if Victorian. I wouldn't say his version is "bowdlerized," and for the most part is complete. Methinks those who scanned Wheatley for the Project Gutenberg edition are responsible for the lacunae (we are about to encounter more over the next few days). The annotator who can speak with authority about these matters is Michael Robinson, who has a book version of Wheatley. http://www.amazon.com/-Diary-Samu…
"In 1624 Louis XIII went prematurely bald. He disguised this with a wig and started a fashion which became almost universal for European upper & middle class men by the beginning of the 18th Century during his similarly follicley challenged son's [Louis XIV's] reign.

Is Sir John so utterly incompetent that he fails to cultivate a victualler for Tangier?! Here is a specific facilure, noted by an independent source (Mr. Cocke), of what Pepys carps about - so it isn't just a matter of tase on his part.

After the sentence about wine....
"My house in a way to be clean again, the Joyners and all having done; but only we lack a Cooke-maid and Jane our chambermaid is but new come to us this day.
The King and Queene and the Court at the Bath.

My brother John with me, but not to me great content, because I do not see him mind his study or give me so good account thereof as I expected.

Roy, I follow L&M loosly, Wheatley more closely (the link for 1663 http://www.gutenberg.org/files/41… and other years are found under Further Reading/ Versions of the diary http://www.pepysdiary.com/encyclo… ); and if something looks strange, I consult L&M more closely.

Mr.Cocke, Mr. Pepys and Sir John Mennes
Mr. Robert Cocke, merchant based in Lisbon, navy victualler for the Mediterranean - brother of Capt. George, the Baltic merchant and navy contractor - sent the fine sugar and orange-flower water to Pepys.
Is Sir John so utterly incompetent that he fails to cultivate a victualler for Tangier?! Here is a specific facilure, noted by an independent source (Mr. Cocke), of what Pepys carps about - so it isn't just a matter of tase on his part.
