Protestation Oath

During the spring of 1641 there was great unrest in Parliament with discord between the House of Commons and the House of Lords, and plots and sub-plots against both the King and Parliament itself. In May 1641 Parliament agreed upon the following Protestation Oath.

On the 6th May 1641 a Bill was introduced in the House of Commons imposing the signing of the Protestation on all Englishmen of 18 years and above. All who refused to sign were deemed unfit to hold office in Church or Commonwealth.

At the end of February or the beginning of March 1641 incumbents read out the Protestation in the parish churches. The parishioners then signed or made their mark before him and the other officials present, who testified that the oath had been taken, or refused. Jane's husband Anthony Worden of St Just in Penwith signed or marked the return in March of 1641/42, and this is recorded in the database of Protestation Returns.

Death

Jane was buried at St. Just in Penwith on 27th April 1679 aged approximately 76 years of age. The burial record listed her as the wife of Anthony.

Anthony would outlive her by 4 years.
