During the 17th century in England, because of the upheavals of the Civil War and Oliver Cromwell's destruction of the established church, almost every wacky theory imaginable had dedicated followers.

There were free-love sects of "Christians" who practiced orgies, those who went about "naked for a sign", a revival of Arianism, two-seed theories that still have adherents today, etc.

It doesn't surprise me that such a manuscript could have emerged in those days.

An ancient document...believed to date from the 17th century...

Man, the threshold for 'ancient' is pretty low, huh?

Being a church organist, I find it interesting that "Aberystwyth" is the hymn tune name for Charles Wesley's hymn, "Jesus, Lover of My Soul."
