Quote
God dwelleth in me, and I in him. And now I see that to love, to cloth the naked, and to feed the hungry is enough.
A Cambridgeshire woman in 1653, according to Margaret Spufford’s account

'The earliest Cinderella figures emerged within aristocratic milieus. Basile’s was prepared for academicians or their highly placed friends and acquaintances; Perrault’s was written for a princess of the blood; and d’Aulnoy’s was crafted for fellow salonières. In all three seventeenth-century tellings, Cinderella reproduced and represented aspects of aristocratic imaginaries.'
Ruth B. Bottigheimer, 'Cinderella: The People's Princess' in Cinderella across Cultures, ed. M. H. D. Rochere (Detroit: Wayne State University Press, 2016).

A Wonder of Wonders
In the year 1651, a pamphlet was published telling the miraculous tale of Anne Greene, a young English woman who was hanged following the alleged concealment of a stillborn child and survived her hanging.
Executed under the 1624 Act against the Concealment of the Birth of Bastards and Infantice Act her survival, after examination by male physicians from Oxford University, was decided to be proof of providence and God's forgiveness.
It is alleged that her father would later use this 'miracle' as a way of making money, charging people to look at his daughter who survived death.
A deeper dive into this case sheds light on the way that the early modern justice system worked against women, especially unmarried women who lived in poverty, and the impact of the church on morality and ethics in English communities through the seventeenth century.

Shortly after William of Orange arrived in Devon at the outset of the Glorious Revolution in 1688, Dutch troops stationed in Dartmouth seized the Amitié, a ship laden with marble purchased for the French court at Versailles. This seizure precipitated an extraordinary insurance dispute in Paris between two little-known royal companies: the Royal Insurance Company and the Royal Marble Company. This article analyses the fractious dispute and the companies at its heart. In so doing, it reflects on the dispute as a product of the French state’s broader exploitation of companies as tools of risk management: the state leveraged private capital in order to spread the risks of its virulently anti-Dutch commercial policy. Yet the dispute also exposed the ambiguities of war and peace in seventeenth-century thought and practice. In justifying their refusal to pay out on the insurance policy they had signed on the Amitié, the Royal Insurance Company’s directors suggested that an insurer could decide unilaterally that France was in a state of war, thereby triggering a contractual clause that would shift the onus back onto the policyholder. Although Louis XIV himself stepped in to defuse the dispute at its most contentious moment, the state proved unable to respond to the challenge posed to its sovereignty, with significant consequences for the French insurance industry and maritime commerce up to the end of the Old Regime.

Samuel Lincoln, who came to America in 1637…had been born and raised in the village of Hingham, near Norwich in Norfolk County, a rural area in eastern England [A] weaver who turned to farming, [he] followed two brothers…who had previously immigrated to America. Around 1649, Samuel was married to a minister’s daughter, Martha Lyford. They had eleven children, eight of whom survived to adulthood. Samuel Lincoln appears to have been a devout Puritan; he helped fund and build the Old Ship Church [in Hingham, Massachusetts], which since its opening in 1681 has stood as the longest-running continuously used church in America. • David S. Reynolds, Abe: Abraham Lincoln in His Times
Samuel Lincoln was the four-times great-grandfather of Abraham Lincoln, sixteenth president of the United States.
