The diurnal occurrences appear to have been one of the sources for the printed ‘Diurnall Occurrences or Dayly Proceedings ... From the third of November, 1640, to the third of November, 1641’ (London, 1641); see Willson H Coates, "The journal of Sir Simonds D'Ewes" (New Haven, 1942), page 38, note 1, and Appendix A.
