Two Acts

[edit]
  • Scottish Parliament (28 March 1661). "Act rescinding and annulling the pretended parliaments in the years 1640, 1641 etc. (1661/1/158)". Scottish Parliament Project based at the University of St Andrews.
  • Scottish Parliament (28 March 1661). "Act concerning religion and church government (1661/1/159])". Scottish Parliament Project based at the University of St Andrews. — An act passed on the same day specifically covering religious matters and containing the word "Rescissory".

These two books seem to be referring to two different acts

  • Fitzgerald, Timothy (2007). Discourse on Civility and Barbarity. Oxford University Press. p. 247. ISBN 978-0-19-804103-0.
  • Mackintosh, James; Wallace, William (1836). The history of England, by sir J. Mackintosh (continued by W. Wallace, R. Bell) (Public domain ed.). p. 359.

while the following talks of "Acts" (in the plural)

  • Kennedy, W.P. (1867). The North British review (Public domain ed.). W.P. Kennedy. p. 216.

So I think that this article needs an expert.
