Notes
General note
Not in fact a genuine report of the trial. Apparently part of Curll's pornographic best-seller series: 'The cases of impotency debated', fabricated by one or more of his hack writers and falsely attributed to George Abbot, a deceased Archbishop of Canterbury, whose name appears on the titlepage to vol. 1.
The second Earl of Castlehaven was executed in 1631 for these crimes....
