11 Although no manuscript bibliography is provided, it can be deduced from the footnotes that for the period 1600–26, for example, Stieg has inspected about thirty-five of the seventy extant and undamaged office jurisdiction books.

12 For evidence of Francis James and Arthur Duck presiding regularly in court, see Somerset Record Office (hereafter cited as S.R.O.), D/D/Ca 138, 141, 142, 149, 204, 206, 220, 241.

13 My own calculations are that the failure to catechize was the second most frequent presentment against the Somerset clergy in episcopal visitations between 1600 and 1626.

14 Namely Buckland, Mady, Martin and Sturtevant. Stieg omits the deprivation of Thomas Jones in 1609/10 (S.R.O. D/D/B Reg. 43 fo. 18r); Sturtevant was removed for nonresidence, as is clear from a source that the author herself uses elsewhere (S.R.O. D/D/Ca 134 fos. 43r,144r,174r, 309 V); the charges that led to Mady's ejection can be found in Public Record Office, SP 14/92/38.
