Note 999 — PART IV. From the Reformation to the present time. (continued 6)

Some of them are controversial, in answer to Dr. Owen, Dr. Kendal, Mr. Grantham, &c. Others are funeral sermons preached at different times, at Lynn and other parts of Norfolk: one is a narrative of the penitent behaviour of Rose Warne of Lynn, a condemned malefactor; another is a Farewell to his parishioners at the time of his ejection in 1662; another a Poem, entitled The Divine Wooer, at the end of which is a long Epitaph drawn up by him for his friend and parishioner, Thomas Lilly, Great Great Grandfather of our Sir Martin Browne Folkes. Most of the rest are pious practical discourses, all very creditable to his memory.—From the Farewell to his Parishioners, it appears that the income of his vicarage was 80l. a year, equal we suppose to 500l. of our money. That income he sacrificed for conscience’ sake.
