Note 499 — Chapter VIII

[Dr. Punchard’s work was unfortunately left incomplete. See N. E. Hist. and Geneal. Reg., 1880, p. 325, and Mass. Hist. Soc. Proc., xviii. 3. The painstaking student will doubtless compare these works with Dr. Waddington’s Hidden Church and Cong. Hist., in which, however, Dr. Dexter seems to have little confidence. (Cf. his Congregationalism, pp. 70, 201, 211, 262, 322, and his article in the Cong. Quarterly, 1874.) The Hidden Church was published in 1864, with an Introduction by E. N. Kirk. (Cf. N. E. Hist. and Geneal. Reg., 1864, p. 219; and 1881, p. 195.)
