Default What date is the marriage?

The first entry for the marriage of Matthew Parratt and Ann Butcher.
It's not very easy to decipher!

Thanks, Phoenix. I wanted to be sure I was reading the Roman numerals correctly, and the Saints' Day confirms it.

I love these entries with the extra details. Further in the registers all the godparents/sponsors are given for many years.

It's splendid, isn't it? Until I reached the year, I'd assumed it must be inter-regnum.
I've seen examples of the paper Elizabethan registers that have that degree of detail, and the parchment versions, where the clerk has omitted all the superfluous stuff.
