Date of ordination comes from later exhibition books: B/2/67 evidently gives 22/2/1645 as ordination as priest and deacon. B/2/58 unspecified. Is this just a matter of how different inputters entered data from format of exhibit books? Certainly Venn gives this date as date of ordination as priest, but gives 1643 Lincoln for deacon.
