NOTES.
CHAP. 5. See the note on 17 Rich 2, Ch. 8.
There is no record of any prosecution under this
statute, and it does not appear to have been adapted
to the situation of the province.
See 4 Bl. Com. 142, as to this statute, and the
account given in the history of England, of the
disturbances which occasioned it to be made.
CHAP. 13. The provincial assembly, instead of
adopting this statute, passed an act (1716, Ch. 5,)
for the better security of the peace and safety of
his lordship's government, and the protestant interest
within this province, in which the same
oaths of allegiance, of abhorrency and of abjuration
are contained, as are in this statute, except
the omission of the words " this realm" and the
substitution of others.
