Dr. Calamy, a very strong impulse on his mind of the approach of death; and took a formal leave of his friends at their own houses, a little before his departure: and the last night of his life, he sent his Discourse concerning Angels to the press. The next day he shut himself up in his parlour, where, to the great surprise and regret of all that saw him, he was found just expiring. Ob. 1663-4, Et. 72. Dr. Calamy says, that it is much to be lamented that there are no particular memoirs of his life.

EDWARD PEARSE, Æt. 40, 1673. R. White sc. 12mo. Before his "Last Legacy," which is the second edition of his " Beams of Divine Glory."

Edward Pearse, whom Dr. Calamy styles a most affectionate and useful preacher," was ejected from St. Margaret's, Westminster, when the Act of Uniformity took place. He was author of several practical treatises; the most noted of which is entitled, "The great Concern, or a serious Warning to a timely and thorough Preparation for Death," &c. which was frequently distributed at funerals. It has been reprinted above twenty times. He earnestly prayed, in his last illness, that something of his might be useful after his decease; "which prayer," says Dr. Calamy," was remarkably answered in the signal success of this little book." Ob. 1673, Et. 40.*

GULIELMUS SHERWIN, &c. W. Sherwin sc. We learn from the Latin inscription on this print, that the engraver was the eldest son of the person represented, and that he was made royal engraver by patent. The head is prefixed to his " prefixed to his "Clavis," &c. 4to. 1672.

There was another Edward Pearse, who was author of "The Conformist's Plea for the Nonconformists," who has been confounded with the person above mentioned. I take this to be the minister of Cottesbrook, in Northamptonshire, whom Wood, vol. ii. coll. 999, calls "a conforming nonconformist." That the author of the" Plea" really conformed is apparent from South's "Sermons," vol. vi. p. 33, from Kennet's "Register and Chronicle," p. 755, and from Ncale's "History of the Puritans," vol. iv. p. 508.

William Sherwin, minister of Wallington, in Hertfordshire, and lecturer of Baldock, in that county, applied himself to the study of the abstrusest parts of scripture, on which he has published several books. He particularly studied the obscure prophecies of Daniel, and St. John in the Apocalypse; and was much bigoted to his millennial notions.

WILLIAM DYER, Æt. 27; 12mo.

William Dyer was minister of Cholesbury, in Buckinghamshire, whence he was ejected, in 1662, for nonconformity. He was author of sermons on several subjects, printed in small volumes, and commonly sold among chapmen's books. His "Glimpse of Sion's Glory," which contains the substance of several sermons upon Rev. xiv. 4, is dedicated to the parishioners of Cholesbury. His "Christ's famous Titles, and a Believer's Golden Chain," are in another small volume. His "Christ's Voice to London," &c. contains two sermons preached in the time of the plague. He turned Quaker in the latter part of his life, and lies interred in the burying-ground in Southwark. Ob. April, 1696, Et. 60.

THOMAS COLE; cloak, short band, 4to. mezz. fol. V. Spriett sc.

THOMAS COLE; an etching.

Thomas Cole was author of several sermons, printed in the Supplement to the "Morning Exercise at Cripplegate," and in the "Casuistical Morning Exercise." See Letsome's "Preacher's Assistant."

NATHANAEL PARTRIDGE; mezz. 4to.

Nathaniel Partridge was minister at St. Alban's: Dr. Calamy supposes that he belonged to St. Michael's, and that he was ejected in 1662,

Mr. JOHN GOSNOLD, minister of the gospel,

His works, which are much in the style of Bunyan, were reprinted in 1761.

&c. "Of whom the world was not worthy." Van Hove sc. 12mo.

John Gosnold, who was an Anabaptist preacher in London of some note, was educated at Pembroke Hall, in Cambridge. He particularly exerted himself against Socinianism. He died, much regretted by his flock, 1678, in the fifty-third year of his age.*

HANSARD KNOLLIS, minister of the gospel, aged 67 years; small 8vo.

HANSARD KNOLLIS, Et. 93. J. H. v. Hove; prefixed to his "Life," 1692.

Hansard Knollis, who was several times convened before the committee for preaching Antinomianism and Antipædobaptism, having been prohibited from preaching in public churches, opened a separate congregation in Great S. Helen's, which was soon suppressed.+ It appears from his book on the 11th chapter of the Revelation, which he published in this reign, that he was strongly tinctured with Quakerism. He was author of "A Flaming Fire in Zion," in answer to Mr. Saltmarsh's book, entitled "The Smoke in the Temple." If the reader should have patience to peruse these two very singular pieces, he will most probably be of opinion, that there is much more smoke than fire in them both.

I take the two following persons to be dissenting ministers, but know nothing of their personal history. They may perhaps belong to a subsequent reign.

HUGH PETERS, Oct. 1660; Et. 61; 12mo.

"Lo here the dictates of a dying man!

Mark well his notę! who like the expiring swan,
Wisely presaging her approaching doom,
Sings in soft charms her epicedium.

Such, such, were his; who was a shining lamp,
Which, though extinguish'd by a fatal damp,
Yet his last breathings shall, like incense hurl'd
On sacred altars, so perfume the world,
That the next will admire, and out of doubt,
Revere that torch-light which this age put out."

Before his "Last Legacy to his Daughter." Two prints before different editions of the book.

Hugh Peters, together with his brethren the regicides, went to his execution with an air of triumph, rejoicing that he was to suffer in so good a cause. It appears from this instance, and many others, that the presumption of an enthusiast is much greater than that of a saint. The one is always humble, and works out his salvation with fear and trembling; the other is arrogant and assuming, and seems to demand it as his right. This portrait may be degraded to the twelfth Class.-See the INTERREGNUM.

ROBERT TRAILL, minister of Gray - Friars church, Edinburgh; from an original picture painted during his exile in Holland, and now in the possession of the Right Honourable the Earl of Buchan. R. Wilkinson; 8vo.

ROBERT TRAILL. E. Harding; 8vo.

Lord Clarendon observes, that the fanatics "discovered a wonderful malignity in their discourses, and vows of revenge for their innocent friends, (the regicides). They caused the speeches they made at their deaths to be printed, in which there was nothing of a repentance or sorrow for their wickedness; but a justification of what they had done for the cause of God." They had their meetings to consult about revenge, and hoped that the disbanded army would have espoused their See the Continuation of Lord Clarendon's Life," p. 134, 135.

cause.

Robert Traill was a rigid Calvinist, and one of the most eloquent and leading preachers among the covenanters. He was one of the ministers who attended the Marquis of Montrose to the scaffold, with a view rather to insult, than console that great man, on the unfortunate occasion. Soon after the restoration he was ejected from his situation of minister of the Gray-Friar's church, in Edinburgh; and sought personal safety by flight into Holland, in the year 1662.
