Source & context
Laud’s original English diary gives this as a short personal dream and leaves the people and table in abbreviated form. Printed July 13 and Friday remain as the source gives them; a modern date or corrected weekday is not silently inferred. An old editor’s footnote identifying people is distinguished from Laud’s dream wording.
