What is all this "17 Charles II c. 2" stuff? It makes it sound like a reference to a verse in the bible or sumfink. -- SGBailey 23:32 Jan 31, 2003 (UTC)

It means get the statute book for the 17th year of the reign of King Charles II, and turn to chapter 2. This is a normal way of referencing Acts of Parliament from before 1962. --rbrwr

One slightly intriguing and possibly confusing thing about Charles II, specifically, is that his reign is postdated to include the whole Protectorate. You cannot figure when a statute was passed by counting forward from the coronation. --Ihcoyc

Date of repeal[edit]

According to the Chronological Table of the Statutes (HMSO), this Act was repealed by the Statute Law Revision Act 1863. James500 (talk) 17:27, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't Explain Provisions of the Act[edit]

The article doesn't explain the actual provisions of the act. What's up with that? 162.196.229.52 (talk) 00:51, 21 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Antecedents[edit]

It has its antecedents in the Religion Act 1592 and other Acts of the era that were mostly about increased surveillance of potential separatists. Should these antecedents be mentioned in the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.176.228.45 (talk) 19:24, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
