		While Stourton's theological education at St. John's College, Cambridge, could indeed have exposed him to Puritan thought, as it did for his fellow student at the college, Sir Simonds D'Ewes, the hay-day of Puritanism at Cambridge was waning and the reaction gathering momentum until it reached a peak during Laud's term as Archbishop.
		The preaching of these two women in St. John's was successful enough to convert "2 or 3 masters of ships" and initiate counter measures by the rest, including the invitation to Blinman to come to St. John's, which according to his letter to Winthrop he was prepared to do.

		Thurloe, having uncovered the Sealed Knot plans, had made it known in Parliament and the Army was mobilised ready to take compensatory action.

		For the first time, the post was 'farmed', that is to say it was auctioned to the highest bidder, and, after payment of a sum to the government, the successful applicant was allowed to take his profit from the postal service.
		That this was a lucrative source of income can be gathered from the example of the first holder of the office, John Manley, who in 1653 bid £10,000 per annum for this right.
		Although John Palmer was responsible for this leap forward in speed and security of the mail, his idea would not have been possible without the provision of better roads as a result of the introduction of turnpikes.

		Oliver Cromwell, rebel and "lord protector" of England, is dead, and the monarchy of Charles II has been restored to power.
		Nowadays, we often tend to conceive of prejudice in ethnic or racial terms, but in the world of Fingerpost, one's trustworthiness and social worth is decided by family history.
		Sarah Blundy, for example, is far more a social pariah than, say, John Wallis, whom Pears has portrayed as a homosexual, or, for that matter, Marco da Cola, who's not only not English, but Catholic as well.
