Commoners who through ignorance, &c. have lost the benefit of the indemnity may take the Test up to 1 March next, except those who helped the assassins of the Archbishop, seditious field preachers, or the late conspirators. Heretors who have taken the Test are free as to their lives, but must satisfy the other punishments. ... -- Steele.
