No. CXIV A All rights Reserved. PREFACE The Manuscript here for the first time printed, and reproduced verbatim et literatim, is fully described, pp. 170 sqq. The circumstances of its discovery and appreciation are detailed p. 171. The thanks of the public are especially due to the Presbyterian Board of London, under whose sanction, and at whose desire, this document, of great historical interest and value, has been permitted to see the light. Still further thanks are due for the grant of unrestricted access to the Minutes of the Board, from its inception in 1690. Without a full use of the data furnished by these Minutes, much of the information given in the Commentary and Index could not have been supplied, and no effective annotation of the Manuscript could have been attempted. The list of Authorities consulted will be found pp. 192-7. Detailed references are not given ; not merely because they would unduly swell the matter of the Index, but further, because experience has shown that those who are concerned to test statements made are usually willing to examine sources for themselves. Among the Authorities, no indebtedness is greater, in regard to the education of Divines, than to the compre- hensive works of Foster (for Oxford) and Venn (for Cambridge) ; and, in regard to the Indulgences of 1672, to the comprehensive work of Rev. Prof George Lyon Turner ; though, in regard to both these departments of inquiry, the present writer has long been engaged in original research. Individual and very grateful thanks are due to Mr. George Harold Clennell, Book-keeper of the Presbyterian Board ; to Rev. Francis Henry vi FREEDOM AFTER EJECTION Jones, and Rev. Robert Travers Herford, successively Librarians of Dr. Williams' Library; to Mr. H. M. McKechnie, of the Manchester University Press ; and to Mr. Ernest Axon, Rev. Dr. Benjamin Nightingale, and Rev. Prof George Lyon Turner, each of whom has done me the favour of going through the proofs of the Index, to the great advantage of the result. To have attained the accuracy for which he has striven, and for which he will continue to toil, the present writer makes no futile claim. Me laborantein adjuva, candide lector. A. G. Belfast, 1917.

The former, or Dependent, type may be illustrated by the Presbyterianism of Scotland, and by the kindred and derivative (though not identical) Presbyterianism of Ireland. The latter, or Independent, type belongs to England. A strict autonomy of " particular churches " associated only for mutual counsel and advice, \yas the basis of the Presbyterianism of Thomas Cartwright and William Bradshaw. Cartwright might have liked to invest the associations with jurisdiction, if authorised to do so by law ; in fact they never were so invested. Bradshaw maintained, in theory as well as practice, the independence of congregations, while organising them internally on the Presbyterian plan, the worshippers delegating their spiritual government to an oligarchy of pastor and elders. This independence, indeed, has constantly been the characteristic of English Presbyterianism, save during the short-lived and imperfectly achieved Parliamentary experiment, 1646— 1660; an experiment which has no exact reproduction in any modern organism. The modern and a.dmirable organisation (primarily of the Scottish element) under the name of the Presbyterian Church of England bears little resemblance to it. The Parliamentary Presbyterianism (adopted, for political reasons, as an international compact), while an exotic novelty, departed from the Scottish model in more important -respects than the mere nomenclature of offices. In England, under the Parliamentary system, the Presbytery was the Eldership of a particular parish {Scottice, kirk-session), for the congregations were strictly parochial. The Classis {Scottice, presbytery), called also Classical Presbytery, consisting of representatives of a group of parishes, gave great numerical preponderance to the representatives of 151 I 52 FREEDOM AFTER EJECTION the Laity ; each parish deputing, along with its clergyman (rarely two clergymen), two, three, or four lay elders. In Scotland (as in Ireland) the principle of an equal number of clergy and laity was adopted in all courts above the kirk-session. This was the principle ; in fact, owing to collegiate charges and representatives of Universities (not fully balanced by the representation of certain borough councils), the clergy in Scotland gained, in the higher courts, a slight numerical preponderance. In England, above the Classis, was the Provincial Assembly {Scottice, Synod) consisting of delegates from several Classes ; a court which came into actual existence only in the provinces of London and Lancashire. Delegates from the Provincial Assemblies were to constitute the National Assembly ; a court which never came into existence at all. Had it done so, it would not have been (like the Scottish General Assembly) a court of final appeal ; for Parliament reserved the final appeal to itself It should be added that no subscription was required, save to the Solemn League and Covenant of 1643, which defined the attitude of its signatories towards popery and prelacy ; nor was this subscription always exacted. As regards doctrine, the condition of a man's faith was determined not by the scratch of a pen, but by the judgment of the Classis, which took into careful consideration each individual case. As is well known, the Parliamentary attempt to set up Classes throughout the Kingdom, in spite of Ordinances to this effect, proved abortive. In many counties, as in Cheshire, there were no Presbyterian Classes. In Worcestershire from 1652, under Baxter's powerful guidance, and in other counties, unions of clergy alone, holding various theories of church government, met as advisory bodies, claiming no jurisdiction. Further, both in Lancashire and in Yorkshire, Presbyterians made serious attempts to find room in their organisation for Congregationals. On the eve of the Restoration (1660) the Presbyterian Cl2|,sses dis- appeared altogether. No attempt was ever made to revive them, even by those who still judged them to be theoretically desirable. By i 704, as Calarny assures us, the only considerable person of that judgment was Daniel Williams, D.D., who did not, however, deem it expedient to make then any move in that direction. Close at hand, at the time of the Restoration and later, was the example of the Friends, for constructing and maintaining, in the worst of times, a graduated constitution of great strength. This example the Presbyterians did not make the smallest attempt to follow. Reasons for this may be given. Many of the Non- conforming clergy, though involved pro tempore in the Parliamentary Presbyterianism, had acquired a liking for Baxter's " rectoral " theory. COMMENTARY iS3 which made the clergyman the spiritual master of his parish. To speak of Baxter as a Presbyterian, as some do, is to ignore not only this fact, but also his resolution " never to oppose " the claim for bishops " superiour in degree to -presbyters." Hence he never joined in an ordination. Again many of the Nonconforming magnates rightly judged that their influence in the particular congregation was liable to be overruled in larger organisations. Giles Firmin, in Weighty Questions, 1692, p. 23, speaks of " one or two Gentlemen of Purse, Piety and Parts that stick close to the Minister and awe the People." The main strength of Friends lay in a democratic cohesion of the lower classes ; while to the general body of Nonconformists the retention of the upper ranks, from whom continued support and co-operation were to be looked for, seemed a prime necessity. Hence, after Ejection (1662) there was Presbyterian organisation only in particular congregations ; never anything in the nature of Classical or Synodical courts. All congregations were now autonomous, all were non-parochial. Presbyterians could no longer object to the Congregational polity of " gathered churches," being themselves reduced to this expedient. Some specialities of internal organisation remained. Having, in their congregations, " presbyteries " {i.e. elderships, according to the English, which is also, as a rule, the Continental, acceptation of the term) they were entitled to describe themselves as Presbyterians, if they chose to do so. The points of difference were not enough to preclude plans of co- operation between Presbyterians and Congregationals, in view of their common distress, and in pursuit of the evangelical aims which all alike held supreme. " , Reasons may be given for the preference shown for the term Presby- terian on the part of men who attempted neither Classical nor Synodical organisation. Most of them had taken part in the Parliamentary Presbyterianism, and it was natural to retain the name, expressing as it did the validity of ordination by presbyters. The term Independent, suitable enough as indicative of their actual ecclesiastical position, carried with it a political connotation, pointing to the fall of the monarchy, against which Presbyterians had protested. Calamy, in 1704, while frankly acknowledging that his own ideal of ecclesiastical polity might • be construed as " a meer Independent Scheme," yet neither adopts the term for himself nor in his accounts of the Ejected does he even apply it to Congregationals. Further, the term Presbyterian was significant as a verbal repudiation of the condition of chaos into which ecclesiastical matters had fallen, on the failure of the Parliamentary experiment. Some 154 FREEDOM AFTER EJECTION national organisation of religion was certainly the general desire. A modified Episcopacy, on Ussher's model, would have satisfied many, if not most. Baxter thought that comparatively few would have stood out against it. The Episcopal returns of 1669 report a lecture at Hackney held in concert by Peter Sterry, M.A., Thomas Watson, M.A., William Bates, D.D. (who ranked as Presbyterians), Philip Nye, M.A., George Griffith, M.A., Thomas Brookes, and John Owen, D.D. (who ranked as Congre- gationals). Accordingly, during the royal Indulgence of 1672, "when the Nonconformists had some rest," a Tuesday morning lecture was established by London merchants at Pinners' Hall, Old Broad Street, the meeting place of a Congregational church. Of the six divines first chosen to lecture in rotation, Thomas Manton, D.D., William Bates, D.D., and William Jenkyn, M.A., were licensed under Indulgence as Presbyterian ; John Collins, M.A., as Congregational ; John Owen, D.D., whose license is not extant, was then the recognised leader of the Congregationals ; Richard Baxter, who had never belonged to either party, was licensed simply as Nonconformist. This Lecture still exists. It testifies to interdenominational co-operation for over twenty years, till 1694. Since then it has been exclusively Congregational ; for, after the expulsion of Daniel Williams from the Merchants' Lecture by a majoi'ity of its supporters, the other Presbyterian lecturers. Bates, Howe and Alsop, seceded (7th Nov. 1694) to form a new Tuesday morning Lecture at Salters' Hall, supported by the older section of original subscribers. In vain did John Howe do his utmost to smooth matters down, proposing that the two sets of Lectures should " alternate in both Places, which would take away all appearance of dissension." A further project for common action " between the Brethren of the Presbyterian and Congregational Persuasion in Matters of Discipline " had been checked " by the Persecution raised against them in the year 1682." The idea was renewed on the appearance (1687) of James II. 's specious " Declaration of Liberty of Conscience" and again dropped. In their Address to William III. on his accession, the Dissenting Ministers of London prayed him " to establish a firm Union of your Protestant Subjects in the Matters of Religion, by making the Rule of Christianity to be the Rule of Conformity." William's very brief reply could hardly have been anticipated, a polite promise "whatsoever is in my Power, shall be employed for obtaining a Union among you." The Toleration of 1689, granted (on terms) to Protestant Dissenters- without further denominational label, led to closer measures of co-opera- COMMENTARY I55 tion. To assume tha.t London was leader in this respect is to mis- apprehend the strength and spread of a movement for union, general throughout the country. Action was soonest taken in the South ; Lancashire came in late, and at a time when the brief duration of the London union was obviously reaching its term, so that while the stimulus of the London example doubtless had its effect, the potent force was in the sense of common duty and common need. A valuable record in the manuscript (see p. 47) tells us that already by 1690 the Ministers of Somersetshire, Wiltshire, and Gloucestershire had for some time agreed upon an accommodation between Presbyterians and Congregationals, and had offered inspection of their Minutes for London use. They had even projected a Common Fund. ( In London the first measure to be adopted was the institution (1690) of a Common Fund, of which more anon. Then, on the initiation of John Howe, M.A., a Presbyterian, came a scheme for the amalgamation of the Presbyterian and Congregational ministries (but the ministries only). These were henceforth to drop their' dividing names, and act together simply as "United Brethren.") For this amalgamation a precedent vsridely known was to be found in Baxter's Worcestershire Agreement of May 1652 (see p. 152). There was an earlier precedent of the same kind, not in England but in Ireland, which would appeal to some of the happiest memories of John Howe. In 1626 John Ridge, B.A., an Oxford man, Episcopal and Puritan Vicar of Antrim, established in that town a monthly conference of clergy from the counties of Antrim and Down, without reference to theories of church government, relying on counsel and suasion, and not claiming jurisdiction. Even so stout a Presbyterian as John Livingstone, M.A., bears his testimony that the deliberations of the Antrim Meeting were " sometimes as profitable as either presbyteries or synods." In Ireland, the Antrim Meeting was the precursor of the movement against subscription promoted by John Abernethy's famous sermon, " Religious Obedience founded on Personal Persuasion" (1720). This was at once attacked by John Malcome, who disclaimed "putting personal persuasionin the room of a church Govern- ment" and denounced the Non-subscribers as "our Modern New Lights," an expression which originally referred not to doctrine but to discipline. Of the Antrim Meeting, which bore such far-reaching consequences, Howe was a member from 1671 to 1675, and at Antrim he wrote his best- known work, The Living Temple (1675). ( The " Heads of Agreement," drawn up mainly by Howe, were accepted by " above fourscore " ministers, including all those in and about 156 FREEDOM AFTER EJECTION London, except three CongregationalsA — Thomas Cole, Nathanael Mather and Richard Taylor. These objected to union with those Nonconformists who (like Baxter) were " for Sacramental Communion with the Church of England." The amalgamation, known as the " Happy Union," was inaugurated in the spacious Stepney Meeting-House on' 6th' April 1691, when its Congregational pastor, Matthew Mead, preached his famous sermon, "Two Sticks made One" (Ezek. xxxvii. 19). In May the " Heads " were published by Thomas CockeriU and John Dunton (see p. 163). Briefly, to sum their main points, they provided that con- gregations, in choosing their ministers, should consult neighbouring pastors, whose concurrence in ordinations was " ordinarily requisite " ; that " in order to concord " and in difficult cases, synods (of undefined composition) be held, as consultative bodies, to whose advice weight should be given ; and that the orthodoxy of churches be ascerta,ined by owning the doctrinal part of the Thirty-nine Articles, or of the Westminster Confession, or of its Larger Catechism, or of its Shorter Catechism, or of the Savoy Confession, to be agreeable to the Scriptures " the only Rule of Faith and Practice." Breach of the Union ' Hardly had the Union been effected when, in May 1692, a theological controversy (on Justification) arose as a sequel to the publication (1690) of ancient and posthumous sermons by Tobias Crisp, D.D. Crisp had been forty-seven years dead when these sermons saw the light. ) A number of ministers vouched for the authenticity of these remains, and hence were currently supposed to be in accord with the views expressed in them. With protests and repudiations a wrangle began. The pith of the controversy was the subtle question whether, in the order of grace, repentance or faith precedes. In this dispute the protagonists were Daniel Williams, afterwards D.D., whose ecclesiastical preference was for a synodical Presbyterianism (though he had never in fact participated in an organisation of that kind, and had recently stood as candidate against Nathanael Mather for a Congregational charge) and Isaac Chauncy, M.A., L.C.P., Congregational in judgment. Open warfare was initiated by Williams' "Gospel Truth," 1692. The terms Antinomian and Neonomian did duty as the main weapons of offence. Though Williams and Chauncy, with their respective friends, signed an "Agreement in Doctrine" on i6th Dec. 1692, the controversy continued for some years unabated. The Congregationals, with few e.xceptions, began to withdraw (1693) from the Meetings of the United Brethren. ,-;' COMMENTARY 157 Similarly, in 1693 (probably in July) the rupture began seriously to affect the relations of that inner circle of Ministers and laymen on whom rested the responsibility of the management of the Common Fund. Details are wanting, for the Minutes between 26th June 1693 and' 5th Feb. 1694/5 have not been transcribed. Evidently this was a period of which it was thought best to leave no record. Yet the work of the Fund went on. Chauncy (who left the Union on 17th Oct. 1692) had been absent from the Fund Board since 4th July in that year, but he resumed attendance on 20th March 1692/3. The last payment from it through a Congregational Minister (John James) was made on 31st Dec. 1694. A year later the Congregational Fund was established, 17th Dec. 1695. Its management was restricted to the Ministers and Messengers of Congregational Churches. It is clear that, by the end of 1694, the "Happy Union" had, so far as London was concerned, perished beyond recall ; though up to the end of 1696 efforts were still made to revive it. It did not, however, pass away before its "Heads of Agreement" (published in May 1691) had formed the basis of similar Unions throughout the country which continued their good work. Often known as Classes, these Unions, unlike the Presbyterian Classes, admitted no lay element, and were consultative and advisory bodies, claiming no jurisdiction, but exercising for a long period the function of ordination. One of these has maintained its existence to this day, the Exeter Assembly of Divines (1691) which has never admitted a lay element. Five others, now combined into one, survive with a modified constitution. The oldest of these five, the Cheshire Classis of United Brethren (1691) was, after the creation (1764) of a common Widows' Fund, amalgamated (1765) with the Lancashire Provincial Assembly (1693) originally distributed into four Classes (Manchester, Warrington, Bolton, and Northern) in which Presbyterian and Congregational Divines met together. This combination of five is now known as the Provincial Assembly of Presbyterian and Unitarian Ministers and Congregations in Lancashire and Cheshire ; it was augmented in the last century (1856) by a system of lay delegates, "not exceeding three for each congregation." These only, and none of the existing County Unions (of Congregationals) can cany their lineage up to the days of the " Happy Union." It is further to be remarked that the "fifty or sixty" London Ministers who (after the breach of Union by the withdrawal of "Congregationals to a separate meeting at Pinners' Hall) kept up their meetings, in Dr. Annesley's Meeting-House at Little St. Helen's, did so 158 FREEDOM AFTER EJECTION still under the style and title of " The United Ministers." At least as late as 1698, they resented the application of the name Presbyterian to them by their former colleagues. They were unwilling to treat the " Happy Union " as dead. On the other hand, Stephen Lobb, a Congregational brother (who had been a member of the Union), mis- represented them or some of them, so says Vincent Alsop in 1697, as " inclining to the Unitarians." In support of his charge against Daniel Williams of Socinianising on the Atonement, Lobb had appealed to Anglican Divines, who, however, deemed Williams more orthodox than Lobb. ' ; The Common Fund The Minutes of this Fund, now in the archives of the Presbyterian Board, open with the following historical statement, dated London, ist July 1690 : — " The occasion and beginning of this vndertaking. " When it pleased God to encline the hearts of our Rulers to permit y= religious Liberty of Dissenters by a Law, some persons (concern'd in this present worke) laid to heart y*^ great disadvantages which the Ministry of the Gospell was attended with in England and Wales, both by y" Poverty of Dissenting Ministers and the inability and backwardness of many places to afford them a meere Subsistance. " They considered alsoe that many of the present Ministers (wonderfully preserved to this time) are aged, and therefore it was necessary to provide for a succession of fitt persons to propogate the Gospell when others were removed. "By the importance of these considerations they were lead, to invite a con- siderable number of Ministers in and about the City of London to advise of some methods to obviate these difficulties, and as farr as the Law allowed to improve this Liberty to the best purposes. " These Ministers judging a select number of Ministers might best contribute to these designes, did choose seven Ministers of the Presbiterian perswasion and y'= Ministers commonly called Congregationall fixed on an equall number to assist in an affaire thus common to all, who desire the advancement of the Interest of our Blessed Lord. "The Ministers thus appointed mett together and after seeking Councell of God, and many serious thoughts and Debates among themselves att last concluded. " I — That some due course should be taken by way of Benevolence to relieve and assist such Ministers in more settled worke, as could not subsist without some addition to what their hearers contributed. " 2 ly — That Provision might be made for the preaching of the Gospell in some most convenient places where there are not as yett any fixed Ministers. " 3 ly — That what is thus contributed should be impartially applyed according to the Indigent circumstances and work of every such Minister. " 4 ly — That none might be admitted to a_ share in this supply as Ministers COMMENTARY 159 but such as are devoted to and exercised in the Ministry as their fixed and only Imployment with the approbation of other Ministers. "5 ly — That some hopeful! young men might be incouraged for y* Ministry, and y? sons of poor Dissenting Ministers (if equally capeable) might be preferred to all others. " 6 ly — That a number of private Gentlemen should be desired to concurr with the foreappointed Ministers in the procuring and disposal! of the said Supply to the above described uses ; w*^!' Gentlemen were fixed on. " By these steps this happy work was begunn, w:"^*^ 'tis hoped God will see inlarge y! hearts of the well-disposed to contribute to and attend with such, a blessing, as may greatly advance the Kingdom of Christ, and give Posterity occasion to adore the goodness of God in thus directing the minds of such as are ingaged therein." From the fourth paragraph of this initial statement we may gather that the " considerable number of Ministers " originally invited to consider how " to improve this Liberty to the best purposes " belonged either ex- clusively or preponderantly to the " Presbiterian perswasion." Accordingly they chose seven Ministers of that class, and sought the co-operation of the " Ministers commonly called Congregationall," who selected other seven, to join in formulating a scheme for an object " common to all." Thus each denomination selected its own representatives, and while those of the " Presbiterian perswasion " constituted at that time the larger body, compared with those "commonly called Congregationall," an equality in representation was accorded. The scheme arrived at by joint deliberation forms the next entry in the Minutes, and is given below. In its preamble the application of the term "Established" to the "Ministers and Meetings" of Dissenters anticipates the language of Lord Mansfield's famous judgment. "Propositions agreed to by Voluntary consent of those of the Presbiterian and Congregationall perswasions both Ministers and Gentlemen for the better support of their Ministers and Meetings, as now allowed and Established by an Act of Parliament made the Twentyfourth of June One thousand six hundred eighty nine, in the first year of their Maj:'"'^ Reigne.

" 12 ly — That all the Minutes already taken be entered." The second of these Propositions was amended on 4th Jan. 169 1/2 by inserting " at least " before " once a yeare." Managers of the Fund The fourteen Ministers originally chosen as Managers of the Fund are here, for convenience, arranged alphabetically under their de- nominations : — Presbyterian. Congregational. Vincent Alsop. Matthew Barker. Samuel Annesley. Isaac Chauncy. William Bates. George Cokayne. John Howe. John Faldo. Richard Mayo. George Griffith. Richard Stretton. Nathanael Mather. Daniel Williams. Matthew Mead. All these, except Williams, rank as Bartholomaeans, though Faldo (like Baxter) was unbeneficed at the Ejection of 1662. ) Annesley, Barker, and Griffith were septuagenarians. Faldo, in his fifty-seventh year, was the youngest of the Bartholomaean Managers, yet the first to die COMMENTARY i6i (7th Feb. 1 690/1) ; on 13th April 1691 his place was filled by Thomas' Cole, M.A., a Bartholomaean and a Congregational, but (and this is noteworthy) he attended no meeting (see Index). After Cokayne's death (21st Nov. 1 691) his successor in the ministry, John Nesbitt, born in the year before the Ejection, was appointed (9th May 1692) in his room ; it had been ordered (14th Dec. 1691) that the choice of Cokayne's successor in the management " be left to the Brethren of that perswasion," but this order was rescinded at the next meeting (4th Jan. 169 1/2) ; Nesbitt was co-opted by the Managers. Williams, it may be mentioned, was a minor in the year of Ejection; in that or the following year he was, according to his own statement, though under nineteen, " regularly admitted a preacher " {i.e. licensed, not yet ordained), being then with the Independents. On 19th Dec. 1692 (breaking Prop. 2, above) six Ministers were added to the existing Managers, namely three Bartholomaeans : Richard Fincher . John James Nathaniel Vincent and three others, viz. : Daniel Burgess Timothy Cruso John Shower. On 6th March 1693 Vincent declined to act ; accordingly on 3rd April Samuel Stancliff, a Bartholomaean, was appointed in his stead. At the same time Richard Taylor, a Bartholomaean, was appointed in the room of Cole, who had declined office ; like Cole, he never attended. James and Taylor were Congregationals ; all the others ranked with the Presby- terians, though Stancliff, according to Calamy, was " a man of no party," and of Fincher the same may be said. These names complete the list of Ministers appointed as Managers of the Fund, from its inception to the breach in 1693. Hence, when the breach occurred, the proportion of Presbyterian to Congregational, in the acting ministerial Managers, was no longer seven to seven as at first, but twelve to seven. (No list of the "not exceeding thirty Gentlemen" is given; there seems to have been some difficulty in making up the number. The Minutes up to 1693 give the names of forty-one lay Managers, proposed or elected, nine of whom never attended. ) The following, inasmuch as their names, or the names of those who replaced them, on death or resignation, or introduced their successors, occur in the list of the eighteen Gentlemen Managers selected on 5th Feb. 1694/5, after the Congregational withdrawal, may be presumed to rank with the Presbyterians : M t62 FREEDOM AFTER EJECTION Thomas Abney. Ashhurst. James Boddington. Jarvis Byfield. Henry Coape. Thomas Cockerill. Coward. Thomas Cuddon, Jarvis Disney. Christopher Fowler. Peter Hubland. Jerrett. John Jurin. Kelsey. Lucie Knightley. William Nicholas. Samuel Powell. Theophilus Revell. Thomas Rodbard. Henry Sampson, M.D. • Waytes. The following may be identified as Congregationals, inasmuch as their names (or names of those replacing them) occur in the Minutes of the Congregational Fund Board (projected on 25 th Nov. and established on 17th Dec. 1695) ^s given in the Transactions (vol. v. No. 3) of the Congregational Historical Society : George Boddington. Jos : Bowles. Joshua Brookes. Coltman. Bartholomew Gracedieu. Thomas Hartley, Thomas Owen. Phillips. Matthew Rapier. Arthur Shallett. Edward Underhill. There is nothing to mark the denomination of the following : Richard Bury. Sir Humphrey Edwin. George Hucheson. Daniel Mercer. Joseph Thomson. Daniel Wight. Anthony Wither. For further particulars of these lay Managers, the Index may be consulted. The four Treasurers chosen (14th July 1690) were Samuel Powell, Thomas Hartley, John Jurin, and Arthur Shallett. It seems safe to assume that there were two Treasurers from each Denomination. This is the ground for ranking Jurin (above) as Presbyterian. Hartley having resigned the Treasurership, George Boddington was elected (20th April 1 69 1 ) to replace him, but declined ( 2 7th April) to act. On 3 oth Dec. 1695 George Boddington was appointed Treasurer of the Congregational Fund. On 4th Aug. 1690, William Ashhurst was chosen Book-keeper, at a salary of ;^20 (subsequently doubled). A rent of i^5 a year was paid to him for the room where the books were kept. ; COMMENTARY 163 Meetings of the Fund ( The meetings of the Managers, and the examinations of Students, were held on the premises of Thomas CockeSrill, who was paid £$ a. year rent for the meeting-room ; in addition £2 a year was distributed among his servants. Thomas Cockerill, a member of Annesley's congregation, was a publisher, mainly of Puritan and anti-Papal divinity, also of educational works. He was one of the two publishers of the " Heads of Agreement," 1691 ;]the otherbeing John Dunton, at the Black Raven in the Poultry (north side). Cockerill, says Dunton, " was always up to the ears among great persons and business . . . yet I will do my rival that justice, to say he was a very religious charitable man." He first appears in June 1672 as an agent for procuring some of the Indulgence licences of that year. In July 1674, we find him sharing premises with Robert Morden, cartographer, at the Atlas in Cornhill, near the Royal Exchange ; from February 1678 till his death, he occupies premises at the Three Legs in the Poultry, over against the Stocks Market (now the Mansion House). Here, then, the Managers met. Cockerill was a Manager of the reconstituted Fund (1695). The last meeting attended by him was on i 8th May 1 696 ; his decease occurred before 25th January 1696/7, when his successor was appointed. The meetings, held for the most part weekly, on Mondays at 9 A.M., altered from 21st September 1691 to 10 A.M., were opened with prayer, not in those days a brief formality. At every meeting the President was a Minister, the first to preside being Matthew Mead. On 21st November 1692 it was "Ordered that noe Minister or Gentleman shall goe from this Board for y'^ space of One hour after prayer without Leave from y'' Chairman." Contributions to the Fund It must not be imagined that with this Fund the practice originated of subsidising from London the dissenting interest up and down the country. Very soon after 1662 we hear of such a Fund, of which William Jenkyn, M.A., was Treasurer. Further, the Minutes furnish abundant evidence both of private benefactions and of congregational collections previously devoted to this purpose. The object of the Fund was to induce concerted action, and to extend the scale of benefits. Individuals and congregations in London were accordingly invited to contribute their benefactions for administration through the Fund. Such contributions were in many cases earmarked, in whole or in part, for the benefit of particular ministers. 164 FREEDOM AFTER EJECTION congregations, missions, or students. Further contributions were invited from benevolent persons up and down the country. Subscribers to the Fund It may be interesting to give in full the first Subscription List (which runs from 9th April 1690 to i6th June 1691), adding from the later lists, additional donors, to complete the period 1690— 1692, and premising that the prefix " Mr," applied in the original lists both to Ministers and to laymen, is here omitted. As the prefix " Rev." nowhere occurs in the Minutes of this period (nor in later ones till the year 171 1) names of Ministers are here given in the humbler italic type ; their degrees, if known, and their Christian names, when not given in the Minutes, are here added. (The prefix j£ is added to mark the Bartholomaeans ; where the denomination is known, the denominational initial is appended in a smaller letter, as this was, just then, a minor matter. The sums, except where otherwise stated, are not mere donations but annual contributions promised. \ 1690 ;^ S. d. 9 Apr. jE Matthew Mead C . . . . .100 ,, ,, ]£ Vincent Alsop, M..K.

It reveals the fact that to the personal zeal of Ejected divines was due, not merely the projection of a Common Fund, but also the financial equipment which made the project feasible. The dates show that the subscription list was opened nearly three months before the first meeting of Managers, who began their work with a subscription list before them amounting to £91^, representing a much higher sum (perhaps thrice as much) in modern money ; and more was coming in month by month. Seven of the Ejected subscribed sums ranging from £\6o to ;£^ioo, with COMMENTARY 167 a tendency to increase the amount ; fifteen others, sums from ^80 to ;^lO, with the same tendency. The highest lay subscription, ;^SO, was from a physician, Henry Sampson, M.D., himself Ejected as a Nonconformist preacher, though never ordained ; his subscription was reduced in the following year to £20 (raised again, later, to ;^3o). A better example was shown by Matthew Rapier, who kept up his subscription of £\0, and in 1691 paid ;^SO. Knights and a baronet did not rise above £\o, the minimum subscription from an Ejected divine. So large are many of the clerical subsciiptions, that one might be tempted to suppose them amounts for which these divines made them- selves responsible, intending to obtain them from congregational collec- tions, or from private friends. The list given above disposes of this interpretation. Throughout the Minutes, collections and gifts made through Ministers are kept quite distinct from their personal contributions. Nay, more, when funds were low, and pressing cases occurred, in several instances the Managers present, led by the Ministers, put their hands into their pockets and clubbed £\ a piece for the relief of some divine or student. Survey of Counties On 14th July 1690 the Managers drew up a General Letter, to be sent to correspondents all over the country, asking information on the following points : 1. Names of survivors of the Ejected divines remaining Noncon- formist ; and of all others " under y'' like Circumstances," whether Ministers or " disposed for y' Ministry." 2. List of settled Congregations ; by what Ministers supplied ; how maintained. 3. List of Religious assemblies discontinued ; also of places where there might be opportunities of public service. For collecting this information, and making report to the Managers of all matters from persons who give account of the state of their counties, the " Care of the several Counties in England and Wales " was (on 14th July i6go) committed to the following persons.

" Ordered, that all such indigent Dissenting Ministers in the Countrey as receive any Contributions from any Congregations in this City, shall have the same allowance of out of this ffund, on Condition y' such Ministers as so contribute to them do bring into this ffund the Same Sume or more, and y' it shall be impartially applyed to the same persons as it used to be by the Contributors." 13th Oct. 1690. — "Ordered, that the Book-keeper doe on Munday next bring in a more perfect Abstract of all the Ministers names in each severall County of England & Wales whose cases are most necessitous." 3rd Nov. 1690. — " Ordered that those Ministers who have taken upon them the charge of the respective Counties in England and Wales, are desired to take an account what is allowed towards the Support of Indigent Dissenting Ministers in every County and that they signify the same to them." 17th Nov. 1690. "Ordered that all Ministers and Gentlemen concerned in this ffund that doe Contribute to the Education of Youth either in this City or in the Countrey doe on Munday next bring in their names ; the Sume they Yearly con- tribute, the places where, and the persons names with whom they are educated." " Ordered that the Book-keeper doe on Munday next bring in a distinct account of what money is allowed to every individuall Minister in every County apart by themselves, and that Ministers and Gentlemen that have undertaken for every such County doe take care that the said sumes allowed, be conveyed and paid to every such Minister." " Ordered that the Abstract of the allowance to necessitous Dissenting Ministers in the severall Counties of England and Wales together with the severall sumes of money allowed for their support be Entred in this Booke, pursuant to an Order made this day for the same." 24th Nov. 1690. — "Ordered that all Gentlemen concerned in this Fund doe bring in an account in writing of what they pay or allow towards the Education of I70 FREEDOM AFTER EJECTION Young men for the Ministry either in this City or in the Countrey, and that those that are present doe Communicate the same to those that are absent." i6th March 1690/1. — "Ordered that no Dissenting Ministers in or about the City of London shall have any allowance out of this Fond." I ith May 1691. — " Ordered that a Review be taken of the State of the severall Counties in England and Wales, of what Dissenting Ministers as well fixed as Itinerant, with their particular personall circumstances, are now resideing therein. As alsoe an account of y^ Townes or places, wherein any meetings are, with what allowance is given to those that Supply them. And what young men there be y' are educated in Vniversity Learning." 29th Aug. 1692. — " Ordered that a Review be taken of all allowances made out of this ffund for the Yeare past, and that the Book-keeper doe on Munday next bring in an accompt of all the Ministers, "places and young Students, with the particular Sums allowed to them, and y' those Ministers and Gentlemen y' have the charge of the Seuerall Counties in England and Wales doe make a Returne vpon, or before the first Munday in October next Ensueing." The "accompt" and "Returne," here ordered, were brought in on 5th Sept., and entered on the Minutes. The " Returne " is a mere list of changes in those appointed to take charge of the several counties. How far the previous orders for the preparation of detailed informa- tion were actually carried out it is impossible to say. The Minutes only record the reception and scrutiny of one of these lists (ordered on 13th Oct. 1690). It may indeed be inferred that the Book-keeper did bring in the "Abstract" ordered on 29th Sept. 1690 ; since on 13th Oct. following he was ordered to bring in " a more perfect Abstract." An Abstract of a different kind, namely of the allowances granted by the Fund, is specified in the third Order (above) of 17th Nov. 1690. Appended to the Minutes of that date, we find " The Abstract is as followeth." It is a list, arranged in counties, of those Ministers only to whom grants had been voted, with the amounts ; in three cases the Book-keeper adds, later, a marginal intimation of the non-acceptance of the grant. The Manuscript The Manuscript which is the subject of the present publication is no Abstract of this kind. It opens with a two-page list (an after- addition in the Book-keeper's handwriting) of sixty not fixed London Ministers with their residences (and fourteen Students) such as was ordered on 22nd Sept. 1690. The order of iith May 1691 for a "Review" does, however, very exactly describe the remaining contents of this Manuscript, which "nevertheless cannot possibly have been drawn up subsequently to the date of that order (see p. 172). COMMENTARY 171 After lying long neglected in the archives of the Presbyterian Board, this manuscript was brought to notice on 25th July 191 2 by James Patrick Longstaff, D.Sc, while engaged in seeking materials for his " Short Account of the History of the Congregational Church, Romford, Essex," 1 91 3. Public attention was called to the discovery in a valuable article by Rev. William George Tarrant, B.A., in the Inquirer newspaper of 26th Oct. 191 2. Condition of the Manuscript The Manuscript book consists of 46 leaves small folio, in a brown paper cover. Slight damage has been done to some parts of the left edge of the first leaf; otherwise the Manuscript is practically uninjured. Every page contains writing except the first and the last. In the printed transcript the figures in square brackets in the left margin indicate pages of the original, beginning with the second and omitting the last. That these pages reach the figure 99 is due to the following facts. A loose folio sheet written on three sides, relating to Herefordshire and Hertfordshire (paged 31-34 in the transcript) has been attached in its topographical place by a pin, still remaining. A loose leaf, similarly attached, relating ' to Lancashire (paged 41-42 in the transcript) is written on one side. These are of rather smaller size than the leaves of the book, and bear a different watermark. Lastly, there is a broad slip of paper (paged 66 in the transcript) written on one side, and still pinned on to the second of the pages relating to Somerset. The majority of the entries are followed by reference numbers, indicating the original sources from which the various items were condensed ; e.g. " see his case at Large in No. 92." These earlier documents are not forthcoming. The references may be to pages in the " Bookes," or, more probably, to numbers on the files of the letters, specified in the Rules above (p. 1 60). When they are mere numerals, e.g. " No. 6," in the transcript, it has been thought that it would serve no useful purpose to reproduce these reference numbers in detail. When introduced by words, as above, it was necessary to give them, in order to complete the sense. A general account of them, in relation to each County, will be found in the Index. Date of the Manuscript The Manuscript is neither all in one hand nor written all at one time. At least three distinct hands were employed upon it. 172 FREEDOM AFTER EJECTION The plan of the Manuscript is indicated by headings (names of Counties) in the earliest handwriting. In a few Counties the same handwriting starts the detailed information given under these headings. Now this earliest handwriting was at work on the Manuscript in 1690. That it must have begun its work earlier than Oct. 1690 is obvious from the fact that a later hand (the Book-keeper's) records, as living at Willingham, Cambs., Nathanael Bradshaw, who died at St. Ives on 1 6th Oct. 1690. The Fund Minutes enable us to be more definite. In the upper corners of the folios of the Manuscript are added the names of the persons appointed (14th July 1690) to have "Care of the severall Counties." In no case (not even when, as in Norfolk, all the other matter is in the earliest handwriting) are these names in that handwriting. They are added by the Book-keeper. It follows that the earliest hand- writing is anterior to 14th July 1690 (the date when these names were selected), yet not much anterior, since this earliest hand records Robert Lever {d. ist July 1690) as " latly dead." The handwriting next in date is that of William- Ashhurst, the Book- keeper, who contributes the bulk of the matter contained. While the Willingham entry, above mentioned, proves that the Book-keeper's hand was at work on the MS. before i6th Oct. 1690, other entries show that his work on it was continued till after 6th April 1 691, the date of solemnisation of the " Happy Union " ; for at first he had, now and then, distinguished Ministers denominationally as " Presbiterian " and " Con- gregationall," or as P and C. Of these denominational signs some (not all) have subsequently been struck through, evidently owing to the effectuating of the " Happy Union." Definite proof that additions to the Manuscript were made later than 1690 is afforded by the fact that some entries bear later dates. Some are dated 1691. This figure, of course, according to the old reckoning (used throughout the Minutes) would cover a date from 25th March 1691 up to and including 24th March 169 1/2. Its presence, to mark additions, clearly shows that the main body of this composite document belongs to the year 1690, which then ended on 24th March 1 690/1. The latest year date for additions is 1692. One of these 1692 additions can be more exactly dated by help of the Fund Minutes. It refers to Stephen James, a prospective student, at Calne, Wilts, whose case was favourably considered by the Board on 9th May 1692, and who subsequently pursued his studies under Matthew Warren at Taunton. The latest fully dated entry is 23rd May 1692, also referring to a student, John Goodchild, in Suffolk ; the Minutes of that date assign him to Ipswich, where he COMMENTARY 173 studied under John Langston. This seems fairly good evidence that the Book-keeper's latest entries in the Manuscript were in preparation for the Midsummer distribution of 1692 (though the bare figure 1692 would cover a date up to 24th March 1692/3). By the third hand (or hands) only occasional notes are added ; they seem to be memoranda by the chairmen of meetings. These notes would of themselves suffice to prove that the Manuscript was a document in use by the Managers when making their grants for 1690. For we find the following entry : " Mr Sam' Coates Att Mansfield, preaches there one L'''' day in a m° : 8^ pr day. could 1 0/ a yeare be added y* meeting would be held up constantly for want whereof hee is forced to preach in other places." The added marginal note is this : " on condition to keepe the meeting Constant 8/ p Ann." The Fund Minutes tell us of the grant of ;^8 per annum made to " Mr Samuel Coates att Mansfield " on 17th Nov. 1690, "on Condition y' the meeting there be kept up constant." They further report on 29th Dec. 1690 that "Mr Samuel Coats at Mainsfield in Nottinghamshire refuseth to accept of ;^8 per annum on the Condition it was allowed him." So again we read in the Manuscript: "Mr Rastrick. Att Spalding, of a Con : turned a Non : Con : 30/ p' ann." The marginal note in the Manuscript adds : " Thankes but at p' neads not." This is explained by further reference to the Fund Minutes, which record that on 17th Nov. 1690 a grant of £^ per annum was made to " Mr Rastrick att Spalding" ; but on 29th Dec. it was reported that he " refuseth to accept of £$ per annum haveing no need of it." Need overtook him later ; on 1st May 1693 a gift of £^ was made to him, to be at once paid, "for his incouragment." This we learn from the Fund Minutes ; the Manuscript has no date' so late as this. Others of these marginalia can be proved by the Fund Minutes to belong to 1690. The Shorthand Notes There are many deletions in the Manuscript, but no erasures. All the words, and parts of words, crossed out are easily read. They have accordingly been reproduced in the transcript, and will be found printed in italics. Wherever italics appear in the print, this is a sign that the parts so printed have been deleted in the original Manuscript. Much more trouble was given by the work of deciphering the brief notes in shorthand. After trying, without success, during a couple of years, all the seventeenth-century systems whose printed alphabets were available, especially the collection by the late John Eglington Bailey, 174 FREEDOM AFTER EJECTION F.S.A. (now in the Manchester Reference Library), and after applying to experts whose kind assistance was given freely but in vain, the solution came suddenly. The shorthand is the one employed by Pepys in his famous Diary. A facsimile page of the Diary made this dear. Use was then made of the paper by John Eglington Bailey, read at the Manchester Literary Club in 187s, "On the Cipher of Pepys's Diary," proving that Pepys had employed the Tachygraphy of Thomas Shelton. This led to a renewed recourse to Shelton's Tachygraphy, in the edition of 1671. Further and most important aid was obtained from a tiny volume in 32mo bearing the following title : The Whole Book of Psalms in Meeter According to that most exact & Compendious method of Short Writing Composed by Thomas Shelton (Being his former hand) aproued by both Vniversities & learnt by many thousands . — ' Sold by Tho : Cockerill at the three Leggs and Bible in the Poultrey T : Cross Sculpsit. The date of this little volume (which has Shelton's portrait prefixed) is not clear. The Diet. Nat. Biog., under Shelton, dates it " about 1660"; the British Museum catalogue has [1670?]; but Thomas Cockerill (probably a son of the Manager) did not remove from Amen Corner to the Three Legs and Bible in the Poultry, opposite Grocers' Hall, till June 1699. The metrical Psalms rendered in shorthand are those of Sternhold and Hopkins. The " former hand " distinguishes the Tachygraphy from Shelton's later and totally different system, Zeiglographia, which was the cipher employed by Sir Isaac Newton. The Tachygraphy system seems easy to practise, for any one with a good memory ; the decipherer's difficulty arises from the extraordinary number of arbitrary signs, and arbitrary combinations of the alphabet, with the close resemblance of many of them. Bailey says there are 314 different signs; the printed Tachygraphy does not give them all; Shelton made a living by teaching the art. The shorthand annotator of the Manuscript does not always follow either the instructions of the printed manual or the usage of Pepys or that of the metrical volume. For the preposition in, Pepys and the metrical volume use an arbitrary sign; in the Manuscript the word is spelled alpha'oetically — most persons might find it easier to write it so. Again in the Manuscript the same word is sometimes written in different ways ; thus on p. 26 column is spelled alphabetically, but on p. 40 for the first syllable an arbitrary character is used. Without a context it is sometimes impossible to be sure of the right reading. Thus on p. 150 "no lack" might as easily COMMENTARY i75 be read " no Latin " ; but, as Davis was a student under Woodliouse, this reading is inadmissible. These notes are apparently by more hands than one. Most of them are directions for the Book-keeper's guidance, perhaps in some cases written by himself. With the exception of one sign, queried on p. 6"] , and by no means clearly written, it is believed that all these notes have been properly deciphered. They yield very little information. The shorthand notes are printed in smaller type ; this small type invariably means shorthand. Use of the Manuscript As already stated, the Manuscript is in the nature of a " Review," or Survey, undertaken in 1690, of the state of the several Counties in England and Wales, enumerating the Dissenting Ministers, whether settled or itinerant, noting their particular personal circumstances ; stating the places at which meetings for worship were held, or might reasonably be begun, with the amount of financial support in each case ; enumerating also the students who were being educated in " University learning." It was in use from 1690 to 1692. If then the order of iith May 1 69 1 for a Review was carried out (which there is nothing to show) this earlier document was not at once superseded by it. It was, at any rate, the Book-keeper's manual as late as 1692. Among a very few faintly legible and meaningless scribbles of words and figures on its original paper cover, is one in the top left-hand corner of the first outer page of the cover (possibly in the Book-keeper's handwriting) which it would be tempting to read as " Committee," and take as indicating the body by whom the record was employed. This, on a first scrutiny, seemed plausible. The true reading, however, is " a minute." Like the other scribbles, it is a mere exercise in trying the pen. Grants to Ministers ' Some statistics of Ministers and their need may be useful ; the calculation is somewhat difficult, owing to inconsistent and duplicate entries. The following computation is offered with the assurance that it has been made, and revised, with minute care : London. — Incidentally the names of 20 Ministers appear, who are well settled with congregations. Of the 60 Ministers named as not settled with congregations, I is returned " poor," 4 " very poor " ; the (erased) heading, about want of 176 FREEDOM AFTER EJECTION assistance, belongs to Bedfordshire. Thomas Woodcock, M.A., was one of those who took no fees for preaching ; and in Middlesex he is properly placed among the well-to-do. The Rules of the Fund prohibited grants to Ministers so long as they remained in London ; but the " poor " and " very poor " above noted received sums of ^2, _£;^, or ;£^, from an anonymous donation of ^^50 brought in by Matthew Rapier for special distribution. Bedfordshire. — The Ministerial list is blank. Berkshire. — Ministers with a competence, 4; in need, 12. Two of the latter were originally entered as having enough; one of them, Humphrey Gunter \q.v\ when preaching at his own house, took no fees.

(Thus we have in the Manuscript a total of 759 names of Ministers, of whom 218 are without competent means of support, and 133 (many of these also needy) are not settled with congregations. Regarded as a return of the entire Ministry of the two denominations, this total is obviously incomplete. There is no full return for London, none at all for Bedfordshire and the North Riding ; in other counties, known and important names are missing. Of those given, 380 are Bartholomaeans ; all but 1 7 still in more or less active service. ^ Grants to Ministers begin at once in' 1690. Incidentally the Manuscript furnishes two estimates of a Minister's minimum requirements in the matter of stipend. From Helper, Derb., £2?, a year is reported as "y^ least a minister can Subsist on in this County"; towards this the Belper Nonconformists could only raise .^13 a year (p. 27). From Norfolk we get a higher estimate: "Ministers cannot Hue und'' ;£^5o p Ann like Ministers." What the London Ministers were paid there is nothing to indicate. The highest stipends recorded in the Manuscript are in Norfolk. The Yarmouth Congregationals (who had some Presbyterians in their membership) paid to their Minister, James Hannot, .^100 a year, and to his assistant, Samuel Wright, £<^o a year. The Norwich Presbyterians paid to their Ministers, John Collinges, D.D., and Benjamin Snowden, £^62. year apiece; their Lecturer, John Lucas, " may get £^0." The Norwich Congregationals paid to their Minister, Martin Fynch, and his Assistant, John Stackhouse, £i'^o between them (p. 74). Liverpool and Toxteth Park together raised .^75 (p. 58). This is the highest sum recorded for Lancashire. At Birch Chapel, near Manchester, the stipend of Henry Finch is not specified, but it is significantly said that " y^ charge of his horse will goe a great way in his allowance, fi'om the people, yet complains not" (p. 61). Etal, Northumberland, raised £60 a year. Several stipends reached ;^5o and £4.0 ; but the great majority are below, often much below, the Derbyshire notion of a minimum. Apparently the lowest and N 178 FREEDOM AFTER EJECTION most uncertain stipend was that afforded to Anthony Sleigh at Threlkeld, Cumberland, whose people did all they could, but this did not amount to above £6 a year, or £^1 a year, and some years not above 40s. (p. 22). ( Fixed stipends were by no means universal. One is surprised to learn that even the rich Presbyterian flock at Nottingham paid their four Ministers, John Whitlock, William Reynolds, John Barrett, and John Whitlock secundus, by the piece, i.e. 14s. per service (p. 82). This was a high rate; the customary fee was los. ; but we find 8s., 7s., 6s., and even 5s. What the Nottingham congregation actually spent on the ministry in the course of a year cannot be gathered from the record. There were two services on most Sundays, probably on all ; then there were certainly week - day and Fast services in addition ; for these neighbouring Ministers were often called in. ) The first three Ministers above named were engaged for one service every other Sunday ; when not engaged at Nottingham they were often many miles away, preaching elsewhere at a lower rate. A considerable number of Ministers had properties of their own, some of large extent ; often they held land, freehold or tenanted, which they farmed. Many kept school ; even some who were diligent in missionary preaching, late at night and in the early morn, were schoolmasters during the day. Among Baptists, some, as we know, were in trade, but the Manuscript records no case of this. A trader, in accordance with Rule 4 above, would not be entitled to a grant from the Fund, but school - keeping and tutoring, in needy cases, was with true wisdom regarded as falling properly within the scope of the Minister's " fixed and only Imployment." If cleanliness is " next to godliness," as John Wesley said, education is an integral part of religion, as neither the early Nonconformists nor John Wesley were backward in demonstrating. There were cases of men well-to-do (and some not well-to-do) preaching without fee, and taking pastoral charge without stipend. Apart from fees, there were " tokens," as missionary biographies such as Oliver Heywood's show, i.e. small presents, usually in money, sometimes in kind, given by persons who had profited by a discourse, and not always applied by the , preacher to his own use. None of these are recorded in the Manuscript. I There is no record of a Manse ; on the contrary, the Minister's dwelling-house was in many cases freely thrown open as the Meeting- place for the worship of the congregation. In one case, at Northampton, we read : " nothing but y" rent of y' meetinghouse p"^ by the Church " ; this Meeting-house was the dwelling of the Minister, John Harding. ") On the other hand, some few Ministers were still living, as Chaplains and COMMENTARY i79 Tutors, in the houses of Nonconformist gentry or of their widows, and conducting services on the premises of their patrons and elsewhere. A glance at any page of the Manuscript is enough to bring home to us a clear view of the necessitous condition of the main bulk of the Non- conformist Ministry in the provinces, and the calls from every quarter upon the resources of the London Fund. Coming to the question of grants, the earliest existing " Cash Book " of the Fund is labelled No. 3 ; it begins on 23rd Oct. 1693. Previously to this, the Minutes furnish sufficient records of moneys promised and paid, and full lists of persons and places aided, with the amounts awarded. The largest grant made was to Joshua Oldfield at Oxford, who before the organisation of the Fund had received £$0 from London ; he was now granted £2,4 a year, till his removal to Coventry in 1694. Thomas Barnes of Newport, Monm., and William Gierke of Poole, Dors., were granted ;£^20 a year ; Abel Collier, of Halstead, Essex, and Robert Ekins, of Oakham, Rutland, were granted i^i2 a year each. No other Ministerial grant exceeded £10 a year, and the grants were in some cases as low as £2 a year. At the reconstruction in 1695, many of these grants were stopped; most of those retained were reduced in amount, and only two new grants were made. This was rendered inevitable by the failure of subscriptions, none coming from Congregationals, though in several cases grants were still made to Congregational Ministers. When, at the end of the year, the Congregational Fund was established, several cases occur of Con- gregational Ministers receiving grants from both Funds. The present writer's ancestor, Thomas Irlam [q.v.], was especially successful in drawing from both sources. It is clear that the breach of Union had an unfavour- able effect on the generosity of the Nonconformist laity. The combined income of the two Funds was not equal to that of the original Fund before the division. Grants to Congregations In a large number of cases, grants were not made to Ministers, but to localities ; and this, even when there were Ministers actively engaged in the localities aided. These grants were of a missionary character ; they are described as grants for the Propagation of the Gospel, and are often saddled with conditions as to maintenance of continuous Sunday services, or of Lectures, i.e. expository discourses conducted in series, frequently by a concert of Ministers. The highest of these grants, which do not begin till 1691, was for i8o FREEDOM AFTER EJECTION "the Moorlands" of Staffordshire, ;^20 a year, increased to £2,0, as had been promised " if they think good to have another Minister." Next in amount come ;!oi8 a year for High Peak in Derbyshire, "per William Bagshaw " ; and £1^ a. year for Lichfield, Staff., "on condition that they get a Minister." No others exceed ^10 a year, nor are any less than £4. Of these missionary grants the great majority were cut off in 1695, and most of those retained were reduced. There were, however, a few new grants made in 1695, namely £16 a. year for Oxford; £% for Ashburnham, Derb. ; £6 each for Lavenham, Suff. ; Nuneaton, Warw. ; and Doncaster, Yorks ; £4. for Bingley, Yorks ; £2 for Lydgate, Yorks. The estimated size of congregations in small places is often surprising. The entry for Bispham, Lanes, is so remarkable that we reproduce it here. Bispham, then a perpetual curacy, was no doubt a large parish, eight miles long and between one and two broad, yet its population in 1 801 was only 727 (Blackpool has since come into being within its bounds). The Manuscript, however, records that " Att Bispham " there was in 1690 " A Congregation, constantly very numerous, Some- times near or aboue 1000, one hundred of the hearers are Wealthy, yet haue noe fixt minister there, noe joint contributions, insomuch y' even y*^ Lectures there are like to fall unless you retrieve them." Notwith- standing this moving appeal, no grant was made. Clearly it was no part of the policy of the Fund Managers to supply free Gospel in order to save the pockets of wealthy Nonconformists. Perhaps at Bispham the condition of the parish church had something to do with the position of Nonconformity. Bispham tithe (;^28 in 1867) furnished but a lean living ; perpetual curates seem to have made no long stay ; we find Robert Wayte perpetual curate in 1689, Thomas Rikay in 1691, Thomas Sellom it! 1692. Again, nothing was given to Penzance and St. Ives, Cornwall, though John Quick, B.A., intimated that a congregation of " about 3 or 4000 people " might be raised ; the Fund Managers evidently thinking that so large a mass might be expected to provide for itself, if in earnest. Grants to Students Order was made at the meeting of the Fund on 17th Nov. 1690 that " all Ministers' and Gentlemen concerned in this ffund that doe Contribute to the Education of Youth either in this City or in the Countrey . . bring in their names, the Sume they Yearly contribute, the places where, and the persons names with whom they are educated." A week later, on 24th Nov. 1690, it was " Ordered that all Gentlemen COMMENTARY i8i concerned in this Fund doe bring in an account in writing of what they pay or allow toward the Education of Young men for the ministry either in this City or in the Countrey, and that those that are present doe Com- municate the same to those that are absent." The Minutes show that this, with more or less regularity, was done. The total number of Students for the Ministry mentioned in the Manuscript is 82, thus distributed: London, 14; Cambridgeshire, i ; Cheshire, i ; Derbyshire, 3 ; Devon, i ; Dorset, 2 ; Essex, i ; Gloucester- shire, 5 ; Herefordshire, i ; Kent, 2 ; Lancashire, 3 ; Leicestershire, i ; Norfolk, 2 ; Northamptonshire, 5 ; Northumberland, i ; Shropshire, S ; Somerset, i ; Suffolk, i ; Surrey, i ; Wiltshire, 2 ; Yorkshire, i 5 ; North Wales, 2 ; South Wales, 12. The cautious care taken in examining into all cases proposed for relief, as exemplified in this Manuscript, and in the Fund Minutes, is nowhere more conspicuous than in the supervision of Students, and the consideration shown for them. Their career was watched, and certificates were given to them. Lads intending for the ministry were not helped by the Fund till they had acquired at school or privately some command of Latin; on 19th Oct. 1691 a Yorkshire lad, William Bowler, was reported " destitute of Grammar Learning, and therefore not capable of any Supply from this Fund." /Already on 29th Sept. 1690 it was "Ordered y' a Committee be appointed to examine y' young men that at present are, or for the future shall be maintained out of the publick Supply — and y' all persons con- cerned in this affaire, have liberty to be present. Ordered y' the Committee appointed for the examination of young men doe consist of Five Ministers, and that three of them shall make a quorum." The first five appointed were Griffith, Alsop, Howe, Annesley, and Mayo, one Con- gregational to four Presbyterians. 7 When it became necessary to reduce grants through shortness of funds, the grants to Students were, with the rarest exceptions, kept at the full rate originally granted. The largest sum paid (in two cases) to a Student was £2^ ; but this, though paid through the Fund, was in one case partly made up by sums contributed for the purpose by friendly Ministers (no unusual circumstance), and in the other case was wholly the contribution of an individual Minister for the benefit of a personal prot^gd. A few Students received i!^20 a year, a few received £\^, but as a rule £\o was the highest figure, while £z was the lowest. Evidently the question of private means was minutely considered, as also was the question of the need of money for the purchase of books. 1 82 FREEDOM AFTER EJECTION It should further be mentioned that Tutors of Academies are known to have remitted fees in the case of poor Students, charging only for board ; and even making gifts toward their support, to be administered through the Fund. Living under the Tutor's roof was an integral part of the educational system, which depended largely for its effect on the discipline of the house, the share in its devotions, the recourse to its library, and the constant use of Latin, not only in the lecture-room, but in prayer, singing, and converse, save at certain specified hours of the evening. Singing in Latin was sometimes varied by singing Psalms in Greek, and even, in the case of at least one Academy, by actually singing the Psalms in the original Hebrew. After migrating from one Academy to another in England or Wales (led by the fame of a Tutor in some special branch of divinity, science, or philosophy, or attracted by the excellence of his library), the Student in many cases proceeded for further class instruction to Glasgow, Utrecht, or Leiden. Graduation was rare. It will be observed that the name of a foreigner, Honorate Superiori, possibly a convert, appears (p. 4) at the end of the list of Students under education at Bethnal Green. On 13th April 1691 the Fund made to John White, " formerly a Romish priest," a grant of ;^5 in aid of his studies. Many of the Students whose names appear in the Manuscript, or in the Minutes, rendered in after life good service to the religious interests of Nonconformity. Josiah Hort, named in the Minutes, achieved insignifi- cance as an Irish Archbishop, and is best known as the last magnate who ate his dinner from a wooden trencher. Three only, in the period we are considering, stand out conspicuous in the world's estimate, though for very different reasons. They, too, are not mentioned in the Manuscript, we derive our information from the Fund Minutes. One of these is Edmund Calamy, who as " Student at Vtericht, Holland," was voted ;£^iO a year on 2nd March 1690/1. Another, described in the Fund Minutes of 15th Feb. 169 1/2 as " Mr John Toland a young student .[M.A. Edin. 1690], resideing at present in or near this City," was granted a bursary of £8 per annum " towards the perfecting of his Studies att Vtricht or Leiden, in Holland, to be paid when [he] is fixed in his Studies at either of y^ said places." Sir Leslie Stephen says (Diet. Nat. Biog.) that Toland " spent two years at Leyden " ; his name does not occur in the Leiden " Album Studiosorum." The Fund Minutes record two payments (12th Dec. 1692 and 19th Jurie^ 1693) each of ;^8, to "John Toland att Vtricht in Holland."" His name does not occur in the COMMENTARY 183 Utrecht " Album Studiosorum " ; but from the general absence of their names, at both of these Universities, it would appear that few of the Nonconformist students were matriculated, or entered for the regular course of studies. The third, a name greater than either Calamy or Toland, is Isaac Watts, who, as a Student under Thomas Rowe, was paid a bursary of £S for the year ending 24th June 1693. Two Funds On the history, still somewhat obscure, of the breach in the " Happy Union," less light than might have been expected is thrown by the proceedings at the Board of the Common Fund. Officially the Board was independent of the Union, which neither Mather nor Cole had joined. One would certainly gather that by the middle of 1693 a crisis of some kind had been reached at the Board. Appended to the Minutes of 26th June, a memorandum specifies fifteen items of unpaid subscriptions, amounting to £2"]^ : 5s. Between this date and 4th Sept. no meeting of the Managers was held. This is proved by the fact that the record of the meeting of 4th Sept. is headed " The fourth Year," which year really began in July. Following this heading is the name of Richard Mayo as presiding at the Meeting, then come seven pencil lines intended for the names of Ministers present, with three for names of Laymen ; but no names are filled in, nor do any Minutes follow — merely blank leaves to the end of this first volume of the Minutes, though the Cash Book shows that work was being carried on. The next Minute Book opens with 5th Feb. 1694/5, on which date the Fund was reconstituted ; without, however, introducing any denominational term to qualify in any way the expression " Dissenting Ministers." Howe presided at the first meeting of the reconstituted Fund. Except Fincher, who was now dead, all the Presbyterian Ministers who had been Managers of the Common Fund were continued as Managers, but none of the Congregational Ministers. The Congregational Fund, as already stated, was not established till 17th Dec. 1695. Its constitution, curiously enough, was more in ac- cordance with Presbyterian ideas of lay representation than that of its predecessor, at either stage. On the Congregational Fund Board, each congregation was represented by appointing, along with its Minister (in one case two Ministers), two of its lay members. It is probable that, synchronously with the establishment (1695) of the Congregational Fund, the older and Common Fund was distinguished. 1 84 FREEDOM AFTER EJECTION in general parlance, though not in official language, as Presbyterian. Yet, as already stated, it certainly did not confine its grants to those claiming or adopting the name Presbyterian. Many grants to Con- gregationals (even when receiving from the other Fund) are entered in its Minutes. One of the most interesting of these entries is the grant in 1 7 1 4 to Robert Trail, M.A., then in need ; for Trail had not only been an uncompromising theological opponent of Daniel Williams, but was a Manager of the Congregational Fund. The earliest official use of the term Presbyterian, for the older Fund, which has come under the present writer's notice is on 14th March 177 ii when its title is given (in the Minutes) as " The Fund for Propagating the Gospel and Support of Poor Ministers in the Country commonly called the Presbyterian Fund." The accounts of the Treasurer, Robert Cooke, retain this tentative title till 1784. On 9th July 1784 his suc- cessor in the Treasurership, John Warren, uses for the first time the title " The Presbyterian Fund for the relief of Poor Ministers and Students." Richard Davis On one matter, perhaps of more moment in regard to the breach of Union than has been usually or fully realised, the proceedings of the original Fund do shed a little light. In Calamy's "Abridgement," 1713, p. 512, under the year 1692, we read that "The Dissenters had this Year a troublesome affair with one Mr Richard Davis, of Rothwel in Northamptonshire : And at length the United Ministers published to the World their Sense concerning some of his erroneous Doctrines and irregular Practices, in these Words." The Testimony, which follows, nearly fills three octavo pages. Calamy does not specify either its exact date, or the means adopted for its publication. Nor does he tell us whether it was a unanimous declaration ; though he implies this, by placing it anterior to the outbreak of " Animosity and Contention about Doctrinal matters " among the United Ministers, owing to the Crispian controversy above mentioned (p. 156). Unfortunately this cannot be checked by reference to the Minutes of the United Ministers, which do not appear to be extant ; they are frequently referred to in pamphlets of the period. Yet it is clear at the outset, and will become clearer as we proceed, that Calamy, though right as to the year, is wrong as to the relative date of the Testimony. Davis's " Truth and Innocency Vindi- cated " was licensed for the press on 4th Nov. 1692. His case had then been before " the Dissenting Ministers of London," but he was as yet COMMENTARY 185 under no censure from them. It appears probable that the Testimony, like the "Agreement in Doctrine" of 1 6th Dec. 1692 (above, p. 156), was one of the measures by which it was hoped to reduce the Crispian controversy then raging. Richard Davis (1658—10 Sept. 17 14), a native of Cardiganshire and there educated, was a grammar-school master in London, and a member of Thomas Cole's Congregational church, when on 20th Feb. 1689 he was unanimously chosen pastor of the Congregational church at Rothwell, Northants (pronounced, and often spelled Rowell), on Cole's recommendation. Cole, it may be remembered, did not join the Union. Though elected a Manager of the Common Fund, he never attended, nor did he contribute to it. To Davis's ordination, on 7th March 1689, neighbouring Ministers were invited ; but, learning that he was to be ordained by the Elders of his own church, " several of the neighbouring Ministers withdrew" (Matthias Maurice, "Monuments of Mercy," 1729, p. 65). Subsequently Davis was accused of Antinomianism in doctrine, of rebaptizing such as had received Anglican baptism, and of " sending forth Preachers unfit for the Ministry." As is not unusual in periods of religious excitement, his ministry was for a time attended with " hysterical fits " among some of his women hearers. The United Ministers, in their Testimony, which touches on these points, declare " that he never was, nor is by us esteemed, of the Number of the United Brethren." In our Manuscript, the only reference to Davis is under the North- amptonshire " Ministers y' have a Competent Supply," where we find " Mr Rich"^ Davis. Of Rowell has 30/ p'"annum." What further we learn from the Common Fund Minutes is the following. On 13th Oct. 1690 two grants, of ;^i : 5s. each, were allocated to "Mr Davis of Rowell" to be paid (with others) through Isaac ChauncyandGeorge Cokayne respectively. Among the others are grants, amounting to £2,, to William Paine, jun., of Saffron Walden, Essex, to whom, according to our Manu- script, Chauncy and Cokayne paid £12 per annum. Reckoning Davis's grants as also quarterly allowances, he was receiving from London £10 a year. It is clear that Chauncy and Cokayne had been in the habit of making these grants, prior to the creation of the Common Fund, and now earmarked their subscriptions to the same effect (Cokayne had become a subscriber on the same day ; Chauncy a fortnight before). This is con- firmed by the fact that these special grants are not entered in the Abstract of 17th Nov. 1690 (see p. 170). No further grant to Davis is mentioned in the Minutes. On 4th Jan. 1 86 FREEDOM AFTER EJECTION 1 69 1/2 orders were given "that noe allowance shall from henceforth be granted by this Board to m' Davis of Rowell in Northamptonshire " ; also " that m"" Nisbetts people be desired to grant noe such allowance to y^ said Davis, and that m'' Mathew Raper do signifie y^ same to them." At this meeting Chauncy was present ; Nesbitt, the successor of Cokayne, deceased, was not yet a Manager. Lastly, after the reconstruction of the Fund, it was on 8th June 1696" Ordered That ^5 : — per annum be allowed to m' Millway to Commence from the 25th of December Last past, upon this account that hee hath done great Service against m' Davis and his pernicious Doctrine." In the list of payments (6th July 1696) that to Milway is placed under Lancashire, which must be an error. It is indeed one of several insertions, not by the Book-keeper, but made after the list had been drawn up ; it runs thus : " To m' Milway a present Supply by m" Alsop-5- -." Thomas Milway was Congregational Minister at Coggeshall, Essex, licensed there 22nd July 1672 ; at Bury St. Edmunds (1674—92); finally, from 1693, at Kettering, where he was buried on 3rd April 1697. Thus for about four years he had been one of Davis's nearest neighbours. Davis was no friend to the Union. He had been present at one of its meetings, about the time of its formation. Several months later he had received a letter from the United Ministers, with enquiries about his faith and practice ; he had replied fully, but received no response. It is not impossible that the nature of his reply was the cause of his being dropped by the Common Fund Board (not by the United Ministers) in Jan. 1692, when the Managers did their best to stop further grants to him from another source (see above). In May 1692, Davis, being in London, again waited on the United Ministers, who, so he says, treated him " very civilly " ; though, at the close of the conference, Williams publicly stated that he had many things against him " in matters of faith " ("Truth and Innocency," pp. 37-8). In the course of the same month, Williams published his "Gospel Truth," 1692, with which the Crispian controversy entered on a more serious phase. Davis calls it a "plausible book," and regards it (probably with much truth) as " lashing " at him " over the Shoulders of Dr Crisp " {ibid. p. 6). To " second it " came out " a virulent Pamphlet." This was " A Plain and Just Account of a Most Horrid and Dismal Plague, Begun at Rowell, By Mr P. Rehakosht &c," 1692. Almost certainly its author was John King, Congregational Minister at Wellingborough, Northamptonshire (best known for his later friendship with Doddridge). " Upon the heels " of this lively and con- temptuous pamphlet, brimful of local gossip about Davis, his preaching, COMMENTARY 187 and his preachers, came what Davis calls " the Ketterin-Inquisition " ; a commission (including Williams) from the London United Ministers, which sat at Kettering, with Henry Godman, of Deptford, a Bartholomaean and Congregational, as Moderator. This commission examined witnesses respecting Davis's teaching. The Testimony issued by the United Ministers (later than 4th Nov. 1692) was obviously the result of the evidence thus gleaned. It is remarkable that Williams, in his contro- versial writings, makes no reference to Davis, save in a "Postscript" (1698) to his "Gospel Truth," where he says of certain Congregational Ministers, that " their pulpits entertain, and they patronise, such as Mr Davies, Mr Jacob &c." Williams does not even take the trouble to spell his compatriot's name correctly. Joseph Jacob (1667— 1722) was an eccentric preacher, originally a Quaker. That Davis exercised a powerful influence in stirring up Congrega- tionals to break the London Union cannot be denied, nor may it be ignored that other than doctrinal considerations contributed to the permanence of the breach. " We evidently perceived," says Davis, " their design was to hook away Judgment from a particular Church of Christ, and fix it in a Presbyterian Classis " {ibid. p. 40). Surmises and suspicions of this kind, originating partly, if not chiefly, in personal jealousies, did much to maintain the breach of Union, originally effected by the unfruitful con- troversy on the precedence to be assigned to repentance over faith, or faith over repentance, a controversy which wore itself out by 1698. There was further, as the career of Davis demonstrates, an inevitable ' conflict between the staid methods of the older school, and the urgency of the rampant revivalist. Davis, like Crisp, was by his friends admitted to be a man of incautious speech ; yet there was a freshness, if rashness, in some of his off-hand interpretations of Scripture, a vein of mysticism in his piety, an unconventional missionary spirit in his enterprises, dis- turbing to the settled ways of existing Nonconformity. At the same time, like John Wesley, he kept a strict disciplinary hold upon his adherents. All this, combined with a very robust belief in himself, while rendering him obnoxious to many learned divines, attached to his cause a popular following and attracted imitators. It soon became evident that the Congregationals in the London Union must either withdraw from the new alliance, or dissociate themselves from what seemed a promising movement within their own borders. They took the former course. i88 FREEDOM AFTER EJECTION Conclusion Interest of a very unusual kind attaches to the picture which we are now enabled to form, the picture of Nonconformity rejoicing in " y^ religious Liberty of Dissenters by a Law." We are accus- tomed to contemplate the Ejected, as we see them in Calamy's pages, men for the most part in their strenuous prime, yet reduced by the stroke of one fatal day to the sorrows of the outcast. Towering among them rises the gaunt and giant figure of Richard Baxter, the first to eject himself, with a call to the consciences of his brethren, who soon follow him, twenty-five hundred strong. : Some fall back ; the pinch of outlawry is too severe. Some leave the ministry for experiments in trade, in medicine, or in law. Eighteen hundred resolute men cannot forget their ordination vows ; preach the Gospel they will, no power can make them afraid. Hence we behold them struggling with poverty, writhing under accumulating penal laws, succumbing to - miseries that shorten life, yet never beaten out of their steadfast purpose. A gleam of indulgence just enables us to descry them as they emerge once more into the light of active service. Then darkness falls ; they seem to belong to ancient history, and Puritanism to be a tale that is told. (Yet the solicitude of James II. for the restoration of Roman Catholicism warns us that they still exist. A summary religious census, presented to that monarch on 3rd May 1688, estimates the total of Protestant Dissenters at 108,678 souls. ) (' A year later, to these Nonconforming souls comes the dawn of religious freedom under the provisions of the Toleration Act. So we find, in villages as well as in towns, gatherings of poor people, who sometimes surprise us by amounting to hundreds in obscure places, craving the services of a ministry now at length set free. By help of the late-found Manuscript, elucidated by the Minutes of the body for whose use it was framed, we are introduced to a new and clear view of the residue of the Ejected.! A glorious residue indeed it is. Passed away into the shadows are many famous leaders of religion and of learning. Alleine, Ambrose, Bridge, Caryl, Gale, the Goodwins, Jenkyn, Manton, Nye, Owen, Poole, Spurstowe, Tuckney,- — these and their like are no more than gracious memories, when (^the muster-roll of the Bartholomaeans is called in 1689. Baxter survives in widowed loneliness, still plies his keen and ever-busy quill, and still can sometimes crawl to the Meeting- house a few doors from his lodging.^ Yet the vision before us is neither of the gone nor of the going. It is COMMENTARY 189 a fair and shining vision of old men, witii young hearts and never-dying hope, springing into fresh and beneficent activity as the sunlight of freedom beams upon their path, resolute to find new opportunities for Gospel enterprise, willing for the moment to sink minor differences in the enthusiasm of a common cause, strong in the co-operation of a younger race of divines, who amid constant hindrance and persecution had devoted themselves to the service of the Gospel, carrying forward a labour of love, hallowed to them by the sacrifices of their fathers, f The guiding spirit in this bright advance toward agreement and co-operation is the genius of that " truly great man," John Howe, under whose suasive and skilful planning, men so differently constituted as Annesley and Mead, Chauncy and Williams, were brought into a larger brotherhood and, for the time being, drawn to work together.) If we must say that the conjunction was only for a time, we must also say that such episodes, rare and brief, are the beauty-spots of ecclesiastical history. No doubt there are features of pathos in the picture to which our eyes are directed. It is not possible to scan unmoved the touching list of London Ministers " not fixed to particular con- gregations." Some will never again be thus fixed ; they are the broken- down veterans swept from many quarters into London as to a city of refuge, needing the charity of the benevolent, yet ready, nay, anxious to render, while they may, such service as their failing strength permits. Sprinkled among them in the list are stalwarts of ripe years, whose powers will soon find fit scenes of further labour, and young men on their pro- motion, whose permanent sphere of work has not yet been reached. In these seasoned standard-bearers and these brave beginners are latent the forces which will build the future of English Nonconformity. / A deeper pathos attaches to the very essence of the story we have endeavoured to recall. It is a story of Presbyterians and Congregationals (with little to distinguish them, when calmly viewed by the outside spectator) and of none else. Puritan strength has not detached itself from Puritan scruples. With Baptists there is no alliance ; for their inclusion there is no desire. ) Mentioned, however, in the Manuscript are the seven following Baptist divines: Edward Gatchell, Joshua Head, Joseph Maisters, Henry Williams, John Wilson, Reynold Wilson, Richard Young. ( Not im- probably the repugnance was mutual. Some of the Baptist pastors just named did indeed admit Congregationals to church-membership ; but the time for a concert of The Three Denominations was not yet. This in- ability to recognise a fellowship in great principles as entitled to dominate the situation, making room for many varieties of conscientious conviction. U 190 FREEDOM AFTER EJECTION reacted unhappily on the Happy Union. We must deal with it tenderly, for it was the pathetic weakness of strong men. Yet it goes far to explain how it should come about that a controversy, turning on subtle theological minutiae, produced in 1694, so far as London and its influence were concerned, an eclipse of the unifying statesmanship of John Howe. J Nevertheless, as we review the events of the opening years df an emancipated Nonconformity, we may well thank God that there did come a respite from the supremacy of prejudice, salutary if short-lived, and even, perhaps, prophetic. INDEX The Annotated Index contains the name of every Person and Place recorded in the Manuscript, or mentioned in the Commentary. In regard to Persons, there is no attempt to furnish complete biographies. The primary object is to identify the Persons whose names are given (often very imperfectly) in the Manuscript, and to present the main landmarks in the career of each. Further and fuller details must be sought in the authorities specified at the close of each item. Thus, except for special reasons, nothing is said of the marriages or descendants of the persons named or of their contributions to literature. " There is one thing," writes Calamy in 1702, "in which I have not been able in many cases to do Justice to these Worthy Men, and that is as to their Degrees." Particular attention is here given to the details of the educa- tion and University standing (if any) of the Ministers named ; and to their preferments before Ejection, and occupations after Ejection. The full date of the earliest academic record, in which a name has been found, is given ; of later entries, e.g. degrees, only the year-date is here supplied. With these limitations it will nevertheless be apparent that, in almost every case, something has been added, and something amended, as com- pared with the usual sources of information. In regard to Places, it should be noted that where they happen to be livings from which clergy were Ejected, the names of the Ejected are given, accompanied by notices of their careers, even briefer than those relating to Persons named in the Manuscript, yet preserving the same general features. This applies also to the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, but not to London. In these briefer notices, reference to Palmer may be understood, but is not given when the reference to Calamy is sufficient. 191 AUTHORITIES A = Album Studiosorum, Leiden, 1875. Ai = A.

He was appointed (1655 ?) rector of Wilby, Northants, succeeding Andrew Peme (d. Dec. 1654). Ejected, 1662, he preached, under penalties, at Oakham and Wellingborough, Northants. His repeated application for a licence for a room over the school at Wellingborough was not granted ; on 13 May 1672 he was licensed as a Congr.

In 1685 he succeeded William Jenkyn, M.A. [?.».], as a Pinners' Hall Lecturer, resigning (1694) on the expulsion of Daniel Williams, D.D. {q.v.'], and becoming a Salters' Hall Lecturer. An original Manager of the Common Fund, and a strong supporter of the Happy Union, his bluff and tart humour, chiefly under a thin veil of anonymity, enlivened controversy ; of this the most notable specimen is his anonymous " Anti-Sozzo," 1675, in which he trounces William Sherlock, who had disparaged the theology of Noncon- formist leaders. Living to a ripe age, Alsop retained " his spirits and his smartness " to the last. John Lacy, who in 1706 fell in with the French Prophets, was a wealthy member of his flock. (C. D. Jo. P. T. V. W.)

He married Priscilla Jackson, who was living at Howgrave, Yorks, very old, at the end of 1691. The title Lady was commonly given, as a hfe-long honour, to the wife of a Lord Mayor of York, in accord with the old York saw ; " My Lord is a Lord for a year and a day. But My Lady's My Lady for ever and aye." Lady Brook or Brookes built in 1658 a small but ornate chapel, near to EUenthorpe Hall, and gave £s°° ^s endowment. The chapel ranked as Pres- byterian, but it is interesting to note that, before there was " a fixed Minister," the supplies paid by the foundress were a Presbyterian and a Congregational alternately. ?, Her only son, John Brook or Brookes, who died before her in 1691, was created a baronet as Sir John Brookes on 13 June 1676. Hence, to distinguish his mother from Lady Brookes, his wife and widow, the elder lady was called Lady Brook or Lady Priscilla Brookes. (Ba. Dy. H. Hh. My.)

Calamy knows him only (on the authority of William Tong) as living and preaching in Warwickshire. Among the State Papers Domestic is a letter by J. B. from Coventry, 8 Apr. 1664, calendared as by John Bryan, D.D., but evidently by Boun. It is in reply to John Johnson, of Alcester, who had sent to his acquaint- ance, J. B., " a very active man to good works," a copy of the " Narrative " of Polish Exiles, i.e. the section, then in Holland, of the Socinians expelled from Poland in 1662. Their theological com- plexion was kept in the background by their English friends. Boun was ready to help if recommendation were forth- coming from " less private hands," e.g. from such as " M^ Baxter, M^ Griffith, D''s Owen and Goodwyn." The " howse of John Boun in Coventry " was licensed, 9 May 1672, as a " Congr. Meeting Place." ■ The application for Coventry licences, signed J. B., is by him.

His congregation included persons of rank ; his pulpit fame was a tribute to his exuberant ani- mation and pithy humour, the latter " medicinal, and restorative of spirits for nobler thoughts." Appointed (1692) a Manager of the Common Fund, he was reappointed at the reconstitution of the Funa (1695). His son, Daniel Burgess, M.A. [d.

" The Apostles' Creed better than the Assembly's Catechism," 1720, by B. C, is ascribed to him, but can hardly be his ; it shows learning and strength of argument, very ably directed in the interest of an un- compromising Arianism. His "Apology," 1720, for standing by his neighbour, Joseph Stedman, accused of perjury, does credit to his sense of fairness, but is a feeble production. (M. Sp.) [115] CHANDLER, HENRY (d. 1719).

Four applications were made in 1672 for licence to him at Chipping Barnet " in a Roome in a Common yard in Wood Street adioyning to the house of Mr John Minshue Congr." On 13 May 1673 John Foldoe was licensed appar- ently as a general " Pr. Teacher " ; on the same date " the howse of John Foldoe in Chipping Barnet " was licensed as a " Pr. Meeting Place." Unless, like others [e.g. Joseph Caryl], he changed his denomination, "Pr." is an error. The receipt for these licences (14 May) describes them as " M'' Foldoe for his person : & M'' Minshu's house in Chipping Barnet " ; this answers to the 1669 statement that the Chamber was hired. Soon after, he had a controversy (1672-5) with WiUiam Penn. On the death (6 Aug. 1684) of Nathanael Partridge, he succeeded him as Minister of the Con- gregational church in Old Street Square, London ; he removed it to Plaisterers' 262 FREEDOM AFTER EJECTION Hall, Addle Street.

His inscribed tomb in Bunhill Fields places his death in his 57th year. (C. P. Sm. T. W. We.) [41, 52, 119, 160, 164, 168] FALMOUTH. [18] FAREHAM (■ Faram').

These names come from the parish church of St. Benet (demohshed 1867) " called Grasse Church," says Stow, " of the Herbe market there kept " — an unlikely story, since the church in 1181-1204 appears as St. Benedict de Garcherche, and the market was not a herb-market, but from the time of Edward I. was the City corn-market, also for cheese and malt. The street was often called Gracious Street, especially by Quakers. (George Fox died in White Hart Court, on the west side, near the top.) The adaptation, Gracechurch Street, has survived as its modern name. (Lo. SI. St.) [2] GRACEDIEU, BARTHOLOMEW. C. Member of the congregation of Matthew Mead [q.v.'\.

It is curious that though Brodhurst died in 1730 (he was buried at St. Philip's, Birmingham, on 24 July 1730), his name is given in the Minutes as sharing the Fund grant with Greenwood till 1732. In 1732 Daniel Mattock (who had also begun his ministry at Stamford) became sole Minister at the Old Meeting House, Birmingham, and Greenwood sole Minister at Oldbury till 1736. {Bh. Ev. M. N. To.

By 1655 he had removed his residence to Northowram (near Coley) in HaUfax parish ; in 1665 he was living at Coley Hall, but returned to Northowram. He was much persecuted for conventicling, as he undertook the work of itinerant evangeUsing in the North. The Episc, Returns, 1669, report him as one of the preachers to " neere 100 " at Sowerby and Coley ; also at a house in Otley, West Riding ; also to a " very numerous " audience at Morley, West Riding. Licensed, 20 Apr. 1672, as " Presb. Teacher in his owne howse in the Parish of HalUfax." He was probably then hving at Coley HaU, as one of the applica- tions for his licence describes him as "at Coley Chappell in y« parrish of Halifax." He was licensed, 25 July 1672, as Pr. Teacher in the house of John Butter- worth at Halifax. On 29 O. 1672 he took part in an ordination at Manchester, the first held by Presbyterians in the North. His Meeting-house at Northow- ram was opened 8 July 1688. He built also a school at Northowram, of which David Hartley, an Oxford scholar, and father of the philosopher, was the first master from 5 Oct. 1693. Heywood was the main instrument in extending the ' Happy Union ' (2 Sept. 1691) to York- shire. {C. D. P.T.V.Y.)

Hicks was a wealthy mercer in St. Pancras Lane, Cheapside ; knighted on 24 July 1603, he maintained (1607) his right to keep a shop in London after knighthood. In many ways a public benefactor, he rendered important finan- cial services to the Crown. He was created a baronet, i July 1620 ; was M.P. for Tavistock, 1620-23 ; for Tewkesbury, 1624-26, and March to May 1628 ; on 5 May 1628 he was created Baron Hicks and Viscount Campden.

There was a break in his Swansea ministry owing to ill -health, during which he taught " academical learning " at Chad- wick. He returned to Swansea, but was soon compelled (i6go) to leave again. The Common Fund voted him (16 Feb. 1690) ^4 a year for Swansea ; but on 28 Sept. 1691, Higgs having died at Chad- wick, it was transferred to Owen Davies [q.v.]. (C F. M. P. T. Wc.)

(1852), he was Minister 284 FREEDOM AFTER EJECTION at Evesham, Wore. Cr. says there is an epitaph (not detailed) in All Saints' church, Evesham, dating the death of John Higgs in Sept. 1728, and that of his wife in Oct. 1728. No such epitaph is recorded in W. Tindal's " Hist, of Eves- ham," 1794, or is now extant ; nor does the register of All Saints', Evesham, record the burial in 1728 of John, Thomas, or Daniel Higgs. The Fund Minutes record grants of ^8 a year to Thomas Higgs, at Evesham, 1695-96, and to Mr.^Higgs, in Worcestershire, 1697-99 ; of £1 to Mr. Higgs of Evesham, 1700 ; of £6 to the same (name sometimes spelled Higs), 1701-15, and to Daniel Higgs, Evesham, 1716-22 ; of £5 to the same, 1723-28, the transfer of the grant to Francis Blackmore being made on 2 Dec. 1728. It seems clear that all these grants were made to the same person ; it is conceiv- able that he had two Christian names, or adopted his father's name ; Thomas may have been a misreading of Jno. Evans' List (1715) also gives Daniel Higgs as the Evesham Minister, marks him Presby- terian, and places his death in Oct. 1728. {Cr. Ev. M.) [127, 144] HIGH PEAK. [25, 180] HIGHGATE (' High-gate ').

[165] HOWE, JOHN, M.A. (17 May 1630—2 Apr. 1705)- ©• Born at Loughborough, Leic. ; son of John Howe, schoolmaster and curate at Loughborough, suspended ; grandson of William Howe, vicar of Tattersall, Lines. His father, suspended (1634) for Puritanism, took his family to Ireland in 1635, returning in 1641 to Lancashire. From the Winwick grammar school he entered Christ's Coll., Cam- bridge, 19 May 1647, as sizar. In 1648 he removed to Oxford, entering Brase- nose Coll. as Bible clerk ; B.A., 1649/50 ; Fellow of Magdalen Coll., 1652-5 ; M.A., 1652. The then president of Magdalen, Thomas Goodwin, D.D. [?.f.], had a gathered church among the scholars. This Howe " did not ofier himself to join " ; Goodwin, however, invited and admitted him " upon cathoUck terms." In 1652 he received Presbyterian ordina- tion at Winwick. About 1654 he was appointed (in succession to Lewis Stuckley) perpetual curate of Great Torrington, Devon, a donative, from which the royaUst, Theophilus Powell, M.A., had been extruded about 1646. In 1656, Cromwell made him his domestic chaplain, a position distasteful to him, though he retained the office under Richard Cromwell, of whose ability he had a high opinion. It is significant of his general temper of mind that he was present as a friendly outsider at the Savoy conference (Oct. 1658) in which the Westminster Confession was re-edited on Congregational principles. On the fall of Richard Cromwell (May 1659) he returned to Torrington, whence he was ejected in 1662. His latitude, he said, made him a Nonconformist. He took the Oxford oath (1665) to endeavour no alterations in Church or State. The Episc. Returns (1665) report him as living " peaceably " at Great Torrington. In Apr. 1670 he left for Ireland as chaplain to John, second viscount Massareene. At Antrim he officiated on Sunday after- noons at the parish church, of which Presbyterians had part use. He was a member of the ministerial conference known as the ' Antrim Meeting,' and took part (1675) in an Academy for training candidates for the Presbyterian ministry. In 1676 he became pastor of the Presbyterian congregation in Haber- dashers' Hall, Staining Lane, Wood Street, Cheapside, London. He suc- ceeded Thomas Manton, D.D, [q.vP\, as a Pinners' Hall lecturer in 1677. Active persecution led him to embrace the ofier of foreign travel with Philip, fourth baron Wharton. He settled at Utrecht (1686), James II. 's Declaration for Liberty of Conscience brought him back (May 1687) to his London flock, though he resolutely declined to sanction the claim to a dis- pensing power. The Toleration Act (1689) he greeted with a plea for mutual forbearance between Conformists and Dissenters. His work for the Common Fund and the Happy Union is detailed in the Introduction. He declined in 288 FREEDOM AFTER EJECTION 1694 to take part in a public ordination. In the same year he withdrew (Nov.) from the Pinners' Hall lectureship, and in the following month his congregation removed to a new Meeting-house in Silver Street, Wood Street. To the Socinian contro- versy he contributed (1694-5) two tracts, orthodox, but cautious. To the bill (1702) against occasional conformity he was strongly opposed. Just before his death he expressed entire concurrence in the scheme of non-synodical Presbyterian- ism developed in Calamy's " Defence of Moderate Nonconformity " (1704). (C. D. F. P. T. W. Wc.)

He was a rich man and something of a poet. To frus- trate the field - preaching of Walter Cradock (d. 14 D. 1659) he started a football game, sprained his ankle, hstened to the sermon, and became Cradock's disciple. In Feb. 1654/5 he joined the Congregational church under Rees Powell at Lampeter, Card., and soon began to preach. Licensed, 28 (?)

A courtier told Charles, "Jenkyn has got his liberty." " Ay, who gave it him ? " "A greater than your Majesty, the King of kings."

These licences were all granted, 2 May 1672. • In 1688 he built a Meeting-house at Wymondhouses ; in 1689, the house at Sparth was certified for worship. He took up the case (1689) of Richard Dugdale, the supposed demoniac of Surey, near Chtheroe, which brought him no credit.

A new Meeting-house (the Upper Chapel) was built for him about 1700. Frankland had removed his Academy from Attercliffe to Rathmell in July 1689. In 1691 Jollie opened another Academy at AttercUffe Hall (his resid- ence) for training students for the ministry ; his curriculum excluded mathe- matical studies as tending to scepticism. Among his students (about 100), several of whom had bursaries from the Fund up to 1696, was a larger proportion of dis- tinguished men than in most Noncon- formist Academies : the list includes John Bowes, Lord Chancellor of Ireland, Thomas Seeker, archbishop of Canter- bury, and Nicholas Saunderson, LL.D., the blind mathematician and numis- matist. {D.

If he were "Att Congleton " it was for a short time between the ministry of Eliezer Birch [q.v.], ended in 1688, and that of Thomas Irlam [q-v.], begun before March i6gi. In 1691 Jones was a founder of the Cheshire Classis {see p. 157) and its scribe, being Minister of Chadkirk Chapel ; it is probable, as Chadkirk is not mentioned, that Congle- ton is a mistake for Chadkirk. ChadMrk Chapel was claimed by Episcopalians, and Jones removed his congregation (1706) to Hatherlow, where they built a chapel. He received, 1713-16, a yearly Fund grant of £^ at Bredbury, in Chadkirk parish. He was buried at Marple, 6 June 1717. His second son, John Jones, succeeded him at Hatherlow. (Ev. Fr. Ht. Nk. Uc.)

[2, 166] KENWYN (' Kenwin '). [19] KER, JOHN, M.D. (1639-+ 1723). ]p. Born in Ireland. Possibly son of James Ker, Presbyterian Minister of Bally- money, Co. Antrim (1646-60), who died in Scotland. Educated in Scotland, being probably the " Joannes Ker " who graduated at Edinburgh on 18 July 1664. He conducted an Academy in Dublin at which Ministers and laymen were edu- cated. Two of his pupils, living in 1703, were Ministers of repute. In a return of Presbyterian Ministers and Probationers in Ireland, about the middle of March 1689, John Ker appears as one of the Pro- bationers in and about Dublin. From Ireland he was driven, probably in that year, in consequence of the measures taken during the vice-royalty (1687-91) of Richard Talbot, earl of Tyrconnel. He became at once the chief instructor at the Academy in Bishop's Hall, Bethnal Green [q.v.], then under Thomas Brand iq.v.], on whose death (i Dec. 1691) he conducted the Academy alone, for a year, when he was succeeded by John Short [q.v.]. From 1690 to 1692 the names of 21 of his divinity students are recorded. Probably he next opened an Academy of his own. On 3 March 1694 he became a student at the University of Leiden as "Johannes Ker, Hybernus," his age being 45, and his subject "Mathesis," which included Natural Philosophy. On 5 March 1696/7 he graduated M.D. at Leiden. Returning to London he re- sumed his Academy ; the last grant to one of his students was in 1708. His forte was Latin : at prayers in his Academy he was more effective in Latin than in English. At this time he attended the ministry at Armourers' Hall, Coleman Street, of George Hamond, M.A. (1620-Oct. 1705) ; ejected (1662) from the united rectories of Trinity and St. Peter's, Dorchester. Nothing is said of his preaching anywhere. Of the conduct of his Academy and its studies a very full account (some of it reproduced by Jeremy) is given by Samuel Palmer {d. 1724), his pupil some time before 1698, who speaks of him as " the same Encourager of free and large thoughts in every part of our studies." He conducted his Academy at Highgate ; afterwards, it is said, at St. John's Square, Clerkenwell. Calamy speaks of him as " critically disposed " and " very par- ticular in his temper," yet ready to make ample amends for what he owned to be " a carping cavilling spirit." His publi- cations are the following ; if the latest is properly ascribed to him, he reached the age of 84. 1. " Disputatio de Secretionis Ani- malis efficiente Causa et Ordine," Lugd.

Application was made by ten dwellers within the hundred of Blackburn and eight within the hundred of Salford for licence to Key, and for licences for the houses of Francis Norbury, in Entwistle, John Wood, in Tottington, and John Harwood, in Hoddlesdon, as Meeting-places for him. Licence was given, 2 May 1672, to Key as " Congr. Teacher in the howse of Francis Norbury in the hundred of Salford," and at the same time the houses of Wood, Harwood, and Norbury were licensed as " Congr. Meeting Places." Entwistle and Walmsley are both in Bolton parish ; Hoddlesdon, in Over Darwen, is in Jolly's district, and suggests that Key was to take part in Jolly's labours. He was one of those who conducted services at Hogh- ton Tower. The Common Fund granted him (1690) £5 a year for Walton Chapel, reduced (1695) to £^, ending 25 D. 1703 ; but this was one of the cases of continued payment of grant to the place though the Minister was dead.

Calamy connects him with the sequestered vicarage of Little Hemp- ston, Devon, a living held during the whole time of sequestration by Thomas Friend, whom Palmer, following a mis- print in Walker, places at the non-existent Little Kempston ; while Calamy proposes (for Friend) the equally non - existent Little Yempston. It is possible that Knight acted as Friend's assistant at Little Hempston. The Episc. Returns, 1669, report him as one of the preachers at Cruwys-Morchard, Devon (see Saun- ders, Richard) ; also to "2 or 300 " at Crediton " On Sundayes & other dayes." Licensed, 11 Apr. 1672, being of Crediton, as "a Grail Pr. Teacher " ; his house " in the West Town of Crediton " was licensed, 22 Apr. 1672, as " a Pr. Meeting Place." John Pope (d. 9 July 1689), licensed at Crediton on the same day and same terms, was pastor (1687) of the Crediton Presbyterians. Knight received, 23 Feb. 1691, a Fund grant of ;^3 and was advised " to settle with some people " ; he was offered (18 May) £6 a year if he would fix at Bow, Devon ; and was granted (1691-1714) £6 a year for Abbots- Kerswell, Dev., reduced (1695) to ^4. His preaching was marred by an im- pediment in speech. The statement " Ancient and infirm not able to goe abroad to preach " must refer to James Burdwood [g.v.], though applied, in the first arrangement of material, to Knight. He appears to have been living in Exeter when he supplied Calamy with hints about Devon Ministers. (C. Em. M. P. T. Wc.) [31, 32] KNIGHTLEY, LUCIE, or LUCY. ©.

In 1697 Lobb was again on the original Fund, receiving £6 a year, from 1705, £i, and so continuing to 1 718 ; he had grants also from the Congregational Fund. [Bo. Cf. Ev. M. W.) [no] LOBB, STEPHEN (1647 ?-3 June 1699). C. Brother of Peter Lobb [?.«.]. Place of education unknown. His autograph signature is appended to an undated address to the Crown from Nonconforming Ministers in Cornwall, grateful for the 1672 Declaration of Indulgence ; if at that time a regular Minister, he could hardly be less than 25. Contemporane- ous is the following application in the handwriting of Francis Benson (chief clerk) : " Stephen Lobb prisbiterion de- sires to have the Benefit of his Maiustey Deci" to preach in Treworder house in Kenwyn [close to Truro] and fallmouth house in Mylor [near Falmouth] in the Countey of Cornewall the two houses being M^ Richard Lobbs." The licences asked for were issued on 16 Apr. 1672. Probably at one of the two houses above mentioned Stephen was born.. In 1678 he was in London. After the death (i Apr. 1681) of Thankful Owen, M.A., ejected from the Presidency of St. John's Coll., Oxford, he succeeded to the pastor- ate of a Congregational church, which met (1683) at " an ancient Meeting House near Swallow Street," and moved (1685) to the vacant Fetter Lane Meeting-house, now Moravian, and the oldest existing Nonconformist structure in London. His colleague in this ministry was Thomas Goodwin, secundus [q.v.]. In 1683 he was arrested in Essex by Capt. Henry Goring, on a charge of complicity with the Rye House Plot. In 1685, in conjunction with Francis Glascock [q.v.] and William Wickins [q.v.'], he privately read lectures to former pupils of Charles Morton [q.v.] ; ejected from the rectory of Blisland, Cornwall, and now gone to New England, in consequence of the prosecutions directed against his Academy in Newington Green. On the issue, 4 Apr. 1687, of James II. 's Declaration for Liberty of Conscience, Lobb took part in an Address of thanks to the King, and wrote in favour of the dispensing power. This. gave him influence at court ; he was denounced by Anglicans as " the Jacobite Independent," yet he simply repeated the action he had taken in regard to the previous Indulgence. As early as 1687 he was living at Hampstead, and after- noon preacher there. He joined the Happy Union in 1691, and afterwards wrote strongly on the Crispian side in the Crispian controversy. In May 1691 he is recorded by the Middlesex session as " preacher to a congregation of dissenting protestants at his house in Hampstead." On 10 May 1692, " the dwelling house of Isaack Honywood, Esquire, situated in Hampstead," was registered for the worship of Protestant Dissenters. It is possible that this was for a congregation in opposition to Lobb's ; more probably, he had left Hampstead after his wife's death (1691). Early in 1692/3 William Nokes, who had returned from study at Utrecht, received a grant from the Common Fund as "at present with M^ Stephen Lobb " {see also John Lewis). On the retirement (1694) of Vincent Alsop [q.v.] from the Merchants' Lecture, Lobb was chosen in his stead. He died suddenly of apoplexy at the house of George Griffith [q.v.]. He married a daughter of Theophilus Polwheele, M.A. {see Tiverton), whose wife was a daughter of William Benn, M.A. (see Dorchester). His son Stephen [q.v.] conformed. Another son, Theophilus, M.D., F.R.S. (17 Aug. 1678 — 19 May 1768), Minister at Guildford, 1702; Shaftesbury, 1706; Yeovil, 1713 ; Witham, Ess., 1722 ; Haberdashers' Hall, London, 1732 ; after leaving the Nonconformist ministry but remaining Congregational, became emin- ent as a London physician. Another son, Samuel, d. 1760, was rector of Farleigh Hungerford, Som. A daughter married John Greene, Cong. Min. at Great Bad- dow. Ess. (Bo. D. Do. Ev. I. J. Je. L. Od. Rv. Sh. W.)

Attempted to settle in New- castle-under-Lyme and in Birmingham, but prosecuted in both places. Removed to Ireland, returning 1689 ; Calamy says to Newcastle-under-Lyme, labouring there " till his intellects failed." Evidently he was not the regular Minister of Darling- ton in 1690 ; and though in the Manu- script he is also entered as of Coventry, he was not the regular Minister there. He received, 10 Nov. 1690, £^ from an anonymous donation of ;^5o through Matthew Rapier \_q.v.'\. He probably left for Newcastle-under-Lyme in 1692, and certainly ministered there from 1700 till Midsummer 1 705, as grants show. He then retired, the Fund granting him £^ a year to the end of his life. He died at Bristol. His son Nathaniel [d. 14 July 1706), educated for the ministry by his father, and at Frankland's Academy (entered 12 Apr. 1692) with bursaries from the Com- mon Fund, was Minister at Farnham, Surrey, removing thence to Wrexham, Denb., in I705.

Took Anglican orders, was curate at the Charterhouse, and later held a vicarage in Sussex. Within a year, resigned through disapprobation of the Anglican canons, and travelled in France. Returning, he became chaplain to Squire Hall, at Harding, near Henley-on-Thames. Some time after 1689 he ministered for a few years at Lee, near Eltham, Kent. In 1695 be was invited to a chair of theology at St. Andrews ; on his way there in 1696 he heard at Edinburgh of the plague at St. Andrews, and the closing of the University. He returned to London after taking part in the clerical outcry which brought about the execution of Thomas Aikenhead (8 Jan. 1696/7). In his " Two Discourses," 1713, Lorimer made a sufficiently lame defence of his action. From 1699 he for some years assisted Joshua Oldfield, D.D. {q.v.'], in his Academy. He is the first trustee named in the will of Daniel Williams, D.D. In the division at Salters' Hall (1719), Old- field, second' on the list of Dr. Williams' trustees, was Moderator of the Non- subscribers ; Lorimer was Moderator of the seceding Subscribers. He died un- married at Hoxton, and was buried at St. Margaret Pattens, London. In his will, among many charities, he founded a bursary at Marischal Coll., and left be- quests for the poor of the Scots churches at Founders' Hall and Swallow Street, London. His funeral sermon, " having been accidentally omitted," was preached 27 Oct. 1723, by James Anderson, M.A. (afterwards D.D.), Minister of Swallow Street, who gives a list of Lorimer's pub- lications and manuscripts.

Entered Emmanuel Coll., Cambridge, in 1633 ; matric. sizar, 1634 ; B.A., 1637/8 ; M.A., 1641. In Jan. 1651/2 he was perpetual curate of Walpole with Cookley, Suff. ; and at the same time pastor of the Congregational church at Walpole. In 1654 he became per- petual curate of Peasenhall, Suff., and pastor of the Congregational church there ; ejected, 1662. He was many times imprisoned. Licensed, 13 May 1672, as " Congr. Teacher in his howse in Peasenhall." The Common Fund voted him (9 Mar. 1690/1 and 4 Jan. 1691/2) gifts of £$ for Sibton. Sibton, where he was Uving in 1690, is close to Peasenhall. The Meeting-place of his flock was trans- ferred before his death to the parish of Sweiiiug, and in 1750 to that of Rendham , where it now is. Manning was joint- editor with Samuel Petto [q-v.} of " Six Treatises," 1656, by John Tillinghast, the Fifth Monarchy man. It is worthy of note that the Manu- script, while including John and Samuel Manning in its record, makes no reference to their brother Wilham Manning, M.A. (1631 ?-i3 F. 1710/11), of Christ's Coll., Cambridge, ejected from the perpetual curacy of Middleton, Suff., and licensed, 13 May 1672, as " Congr.

Among the Ejected he was one of two examples of this theological change, which affected no Presbyterian of their number. He continued to preach at Peasenhall (where he was buried) till deafness disabled him ; this may explain John Manning's removals, noted above. (B. C. Cp. D. M. P. T. V.)

He suffered six months' imprisonment, which so enfeebled him that he was obliged to sit while preaching ; the story ran that he had been bewitched, along with Thomas Spatchet (see Petto, Samuel).

Soon after he began at I Stoke Newington what ranked as the I chief Congregational Academy in London, j as that of Thomas Doohttle [q.v.'] was the j leading Presbyterian Academy. / John Dunton {q.v.} calls him " the very soul of philosophy." Defoe was one of Morton's Students. Samuel Wesley (father of the Evangelist), another Student, attacked the Nonconformist Academies in 1703, when a controversy followed with Samuel Palmer (d. 1724) which throws much light on the methods of the higher Nonconformist education, as well as the proclivities of Students in rival London Academies. Persecution drove Morton to New England ; he reached Charlestown, Mass., in July 1686, and held the pastorate of the Congrega- tional church there from 5 Nov. 1686 till death. His appointment as president of Harvard would have been obnoxious to the government, hence the office of vice- president was created for him. He died at Charlestown. (Ap. C. D. F. P. T. V.)

Went thence to Rotterdam, where he studied under Peter Bayle. Returning, he assisted Doohttle (1690 ?) at Monkwell Street ; later, he assisted John Goffe at Kingston-on-'Thames, gratuitously, being well off. From Kingston, in 1697, he moved to Queen Street, Ratchffe Cross, in succession to George Day, ejected from Wivelscomb, Devon. There also he would have ministered gratuitously but for " his prudent father-in-law." His stipend, and much more, went in charity ; he left for his Meeting-house an endow- ment of ;^500. His address was " in White-horse-street, Ratcliffe." (Cm. Ev. W. We. ; Fun. Serm. by Calamy, 1729.) [2] MYNYDDISLWYN. Ejected here was Henry Walter. (B. C. L. See Newport, Monm.)

In 1704 he removed to the Great Meeting, Coventry (at a smaller stipend), as co-pastor with John Warren (d. 1742). The Fund Minutes call him John Merrill ; Evans' List gives Joshua Merrell ; Redfern's Uttoxeter has John Merret ; the funeral sermon (3 July 1716) by John Warren gives Joshua Merrel. (Ev. M. Si.)

Curate at Dorking in 1659 to Samuel Cozens, B.D., the vicar, at whose death, 19 May 1661, his curacy ceased. Calamy (who calls him Samuel Nabbs) is niisin- formed ; he was not ejected from Dork- ing ; he was silenced in 1662, and may possibly have obtained some post after May 1661, and been ejected thence. The Book-keeper's entry probably means, not that he was ejected at Chester, but that he came thence to Binfield. The Com- mon Fund granted him (1690-93) £^ a year for Binfield. Calamy reports him as living and dying " about London," " very Old and feeble," some years before 1 713. (C. M. P. v.: Surrey Archaeological Collections, xxvii. 92.) [3, 7, 8] NAILSWORTH.

As he was leaving England in 1683 for study at Utrecht, he was arrested in Essex, on suspicion of complicity with the Rye House Plot. At Utrecht, where he occasionally preached in the English Church, he went by the name of White. Returning to London in 1689, he was Minister at Hare Court, Aldersgate Street, from 1 69 1 till death. His having pre- viously rendered ministerial assistance both to Williams and to Chauncy is interesting — the words (p. 3) referring to Chauncy are an addition to the original entry. As a Manager of the Common Fund he took part, till some time in 1692, in the Nonconformist survey, acting for Cumberland, Durham, Northumber- land, and Westmorland, and joined the Happy Union. In the Congregational Fund he was a correspondent (1696) for Bucks, Cheshire, Cumberland, Dor- set, Durham, Hunts, Northumberland, Sussex, and Yorkshire. He was elected a Pinners' HaU Lecturer in 1697, succeed- ing Nathanael Mather [q.v.'\.

Second son of Henry Owen, vicar of Stadhampton, Oxfordsh., and born there. His descent is traced to Llewelyn ap Gwrgan, prince of Glamorgan. His schooling was at Oxford, under Edward Sylvester. JMatric, 4 Nov. 1631, at Queen's Coll., Oxford, aged 16 ; B.A., 1632 ; M.A., 1635. Left Oxford (1637) through unwillingness to submit to Laud's new statutes. Chaplain to Sir Robert Dormer, Ascott, Oxfordsh. ; after- wards to John, Lord Lovelace, at Hurley, Berks. On outbreak of Civil War, removed to Charterhouse Yard, London. In 1644 he obtained the sequestered rectory of Fordham, Essex, which he had to vacate in 1646, but was instituted by the House of Lords to the vicarage of Coggeshall, Essex. He had held Presby- terian views, but now (1646) adopted Congregational principles and modelled his church at Coggeshall accordingly. In 1649 he attended Cromwell as his chaplain in Ireland, and was instrumental in pro- curing (1650) the re-endowment of Trinity Coll., Dubhn. On 8 March 1649/50 he was appointed preacher to the council of State. Having taken the engagement of allegiance to the government without king or house of lords, he was made (18 March 1650/1) dean of Christ Church, Oxford, preacher at St. Mary's, and (1652-8) vice-chancellor. As dean, he was most efficient, also tolerant, con- niving at the public use of the Anglican prayer-book in a house close to the college. In 1653 he was created D.D., and in 1654-55 he was M.P. for the univer- sity. He took a leading part in the con- ference (Sept.-Oct. 1658) at the Savoy for revising the Westminster Confession to suit Congregationals, and wrote the pre- face. At the fall of Richard Cromwell he was in London, active on the republi- can side. Ejected from Christ Church (13 March 1659/60) he retired to Stad- hampton. Clarendon, in 1664, offered him high preferment if he would conform. In 1664/5 he was indicted at Oxford for holding conventicles in his house. The Episc. Returns, 1669, report him as preaching in White's Alley, Moorfields, London. On 16 Apr. 1672 the London LeatherseUers granted the use of their hall to Owen along with John Loder {see Nye, Phihp), if they obtained hcence for it ; none is recorded. Op. the death (7 Feb. ibyz/-^) of Joseph Caryl, M.A., Owen was invited to succeed him in Leadenhall Street ; he joined his own flock with Caryl's (5 June 1673). Charles II. in 1674 gave him 1000 guineas for sufferers under the penal laws. As a theological writer, Owen had no superiors in his time ; but his objection (1659) to Walton's Polyglot, on the ground that it admitted various readings in the inspired text, was unfortunate. (C.

Here he gathered a congregation (lasting till 1753) in a Meeting-house in Middlesex court, Bar- tholomew Close, Smithfield, which really formed part of the structure of St. Bar- tholomew's the Great. He favoured James II. 's Declaration for Liberty of Conscience (1687). He was active in rehef of French Protestant refugees. On 22 Sept. 1690 he promised to help the Common Fund by "a more perfect account of Cornwall." His chief publica- tion is the " Synodicon in GalUa Re- formata," 1692, 2 vols, folio, containing the Acts and Canons of the French Reformed Church. His manuscript " Icones Sacrae," hves of 50 French and 20 Enghsh divines, fill three foUo volumes in Dr. Wilhams' Library. In his latter years he was greatly disabled by internal ailments. (C. D. F.

This great scholar's " Reduction of Episcopacie unto the form of Synodical Government received in the Ancient Church," played a great part in the discussions on church government both in 1641 and in 1660. After the issue of several surreptitious editions, it was pubUshed (1656) from Ussher's autograph, with his last corrections, by his chaplain, Nicholas Bernard, D.D. Ussher's plan differs from the Presbyterian ideal mainly in this cardinal point, that his synods were purely clerical, 'admitting no lay representation except in the meeting of parochial officers, which had no jurisdic- tion.

John Walker, born in England ; educated at Glasgow ; M.A,, 1647 ; was called to Rivington Chapel, Lane, in 1648, but the Second Lancashire Classis refused ordina- tion, as the Rivington parishioners would not adopt the Presbyterian church order. He was ordained to Newton Heath Chapel, Lane, 9 Jan. 1650, by First Lancashire Classis ; ejected, 1662 ; in the will (11 June 1672) of James Holland of Holme Hall in Newton, he is referred to as John Walker of Rivington, clerk ; licensed, 25 July 1672, as " Pr.

He appears to have preached INDEX 375 occasionally at Rivington, but Newton Heath was the place of his ministry. He died, 8 Feb. 1684/5, aged about 60. John Walker, secundus, son of the above, is the person to whom the Manu- script really refers. He succeeded in 1683, Samuel Newton, at Rivington [q.v.], preaching in the parochial chapel, from which Nonconformists were not yet dispossessed. His " plentiful estate " was at Heath Charnock, Lane.

Latterly he lived at Llangollen, Denb., and was there buried in the churchyard, but his body was exhumed by opponents, and ultimately interred in his own garden. His son, John Williams (1662 — 5 Oct. 1725) (C.), was educated at some Academy, as Evans' List calls him " scholar." The Common Fund granted INDEX 385 him (1690-93) £^ a year as Itinerant.

He was particularly cautious in the reception of candidates for church membership. His theology was Arminian, but his flock, divided in sentiment, was kept together by the appointment of James Davies, of Llanwrtyd, Brecon, an extreme Calvinist, as co-pastor. After the death of Williams, Richard Rees was chosen (1723) co-pastor with Davies ; in 1747 Rees, with a section of the flock, seceded to form a new congre- gation (now Unitarian) at Cefn-Coed-y- Cymmer, Brecon, two miles from Merthyr.

Preached first at Ousden, Suff. Succeeded John Salkeld [q.vP\ at Walsham in 1700. His uncle. Captain Roper, left him a small estate at Walsham ; hence the congregation raised no funds, and died with him. The Fund, however, supported a Lecture at INDEX 391 Walsham for many years. {B. Ev. M.) [13, 104, 107] WRIGHT, JAMES, M.A. (i6io-Dec. 1691). Ip. Younger son of an emigrant to New England. Matric. sizar, at Jesus Coll., Cambridge, 1635 ; B.A., 1638/9 ; M.A., 1642. Ejected from the vicarage of Wootton Wawen, Warw., in 1662 {Co. May 1916). Remained at Wootton after ejectment till the operation (i665) of the Five Mile Act, when John St. Nicholas [q.v.'] welcomed him to his house at Knowle, Warw. After a time, Wright .preached at his own house in Knowle parish (perhaps Blewlake, now Bluelake House) to "as many hearers as two rooms would hold." The Episc. Returns, 1669, report him as preaching to " 100 & more " persons at the house of Thomas Worrall of Bordesley in the parish of Aston- juxta-Birmingham, and also at his own house at Knowle. He taught school and kept boarders. In 1685 Wright was imprisoned, in the scare due to the Mon- mouth rebellion. In 1686 Mary Eades was indentured " to James Wright of Chesset Wood in the said Manner of Knoll gent . . . for & in Consideration of Seuerall goods in hand delivered unto the Said James Wright to about the value of twenty shillings to teach and Instruct or cause to be taught and instructed by Katherine his Wife the calling or art of huswifery." The Common Fund granted him (1690) £8 a year ; by the end of the year he was reported dead. Calamy, who calls Wootton Wawen ' Witton,' places his death in 1692, " aged eighty- one, or eighty- two." He was buried at Knowle, on 12 Dec. 1691 ; his wife, Catherine, was buried there on 17 Dec. 1702 ; his son James, on 8 Feb. 1722. In the Fund Minutes, Wright's Christian name is wrongly given as Abraham, probably from confusion with Abraham Wright, M.A., ejected (1660) from the sequestered rectory of Cheveley, Camb., buried at Wimbish, Ess., on 20 Aug. 1684 (parish register), " aged 80 or upwards." (C.) With John Wilkinson (ejected, 1660, from the sequestered vicarage of Ansley, Warw., but conform- ing later), who became vicar of Knowle (27 Sept. 1673), Wright and other Noncon- formists were on terms of communion. After Wilkinson's death (bur. 20 Sept. 1695) Lord's Day services by Noncon- formists were resumed at Blewlake, with help from the Fund.

The Com- mon Fund voted him (1690) £6 a year for Attercliffe ; but by June 1691 he had removed to East Retford, Notts, to which place, not to Wright personally, £10 a year was paid. His eldest son, Samuel Wright, D.D. (20 Jan. 1682)3 — 3 Apr. 1746), was Minister at Carter Lane, London. {D. F, M.) [130, 131] WRIGHT, JONATHAN (1659—25 June 1727). Bapt. 18 Dec. 1659.
