GUEST,Big Vern | Origins: Mattie Groves - What year? (81* d) | RE: Mattie Groves - What year? | 08 Apr 08 |
The first (1658) version mentions 'our lady's (i.e. Virgin Mary) grace' in the opening preaching scene. Late 16th and 17th century England and Scotland being Calvinist countries did not do sermons on the Virgin Mary's grace. This rather suggest a pre- or early reformation origin (i.e 1550s or before). |
