^{page 6 note 6} A microfilm edition of the Ferrar Papers, with an introduction and handlist by D. R. Ransome, was published by Microfilm Academic Publishers of Wakefield in 1992.

^{page 7 note 7} Ferrar Papers 1433 is entitled [f.ir] ‘Passages in the Parliament/1623’. It then lists [ff.IV–5V], by English counties alphabetically followed by the Welsh constituencies, the members of the House of Commons as originally returned. Since this list, amended to take account of later returns, is available in Return of Members (1878), pp. 456–62Google Scholar, it is not reproduced below.

The first of the diary's three fragments [ff.1–6] opens with the list of members, continues with the events of 12–19 February 1623/4, and ends while the king is making his opening speech. The second fragment [ff.7–22] begins on Saturday 21 February with the presentation of the Speaker to the king and continues until the afternoon of Tuesday 24 February. The third [ff.23–43] recounts events on Monday and Tuesday 1 and 2 March, and after three blank pages in the manuscript [ff.3Ov–31v] runs from Thursday 4 March to the morning of Monday 8 March, breaking off in mid-sentence. The final pages [fr.42–43] record King James's reply at Theobalds on 5 March to a parliamentary delegation of both houses.
