Puritan Vicar
« on: Friday 13 April 07 07:34 BST (UK) »
An ancestor of mine - a Puritan Vicar - signed the Gloucestershire Minister's Testimony in 1648.  Does anyone know exactly what this was?

I tried googling and came up with this link which you might like to read through.

The word testimony crops up many times!
