At the Weald and Downland today, chatting to one of the volunteers, who said that cheaper better glass started to be produced in the 1500s, so that it would have been more widespread a century later. I think that in the 1600s, windows would still be regarded as fittings, that could be removed from the house, not left behind if you moved out.
