- Comment: The position was briefly combined in 1661 and this is notified in the article. This is why I used the term "full-time". The source I used seemed to deem that the period in 1661 was "brief" and not worth counting.

@AtticTapestry: @Jolly Janner: "Full-time" is an assumption that I'm not sure is justified by the sources. 1661 to 1762 is a full century though, so why not just use that number instead? Gamaliel (talk) 23:20, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Thank you Jolly Janner. I tweaked your new hook a bit. I think this is ready to go if you are okay with ALT2. Gamaliel (talk) 18:34, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
