If you look up the difference between Julian and Gregorian calendars you will find that this will was proved in 1654 and is often reported as 1653/4 to avoid confusion. This means the document was dated Julian 1653 but today is reported as Gregorian 1654. I would really prefer to have the transcript that I have worked on included in the profile rather than a link, if you don't mind. Thanks
