are informed that the reason was, either that the particulars did not immediately fall in with the plan of this work, or that there was not room for the insertion of them, without extending the publication too far beyond the proposed limits; which are already exceeded above a hundred pages, though some care has been taken to compress many of the articles, and more is put into a page than in the former edition; as well as a smaller letter used for the Notes. Some of the principal communications which could not be here inserted have been printed, as others probably will be, in a periodical publication.

Notwithstanding all the corrections which have been made in this edition, some errors may probably remain, particularly in respect to names of persons and places, to dates and other figures, For these the editor must rely upon the candour of such readers as may discover them; it being next to impossible, in a work of this nature to be perfectly accurate. The same must be said with regard to Typographical errors, of which more now appear than had been apprehended. The most material of those which have been discovered (besides what were mentioned in the former volumes) are specified in the table here subjoined.

On the whole it is hoped that this edition, which has been a work of more labour than may be generally imagined, will be found to contain many considerable improvements throughout, as well as many valuable additions. A continuation of the History of the Dissenters to the present time, is a work much to be desired, which however the editor of this must recommend to some one who has more leisure than himself, and who is less advanced in years.

*Two valuable Letters of Mr. Maidwell, were inserted in the 2d vol. of the BIBLICAL MAGAZINE. In the THEOLOGICAL, Jan. 1803, will be found, a pleasing account, transmitted by Mr. James Jackson, of the successors of Mr. Taylor, and the present state of the society, in the chapel of Ellenthorpe, Yorkshire.

It appears that, in the county of Northumberland, there are three towns placed, which properly belong to the County of Durham: viz. Cornhill, Ancroft, and Tweedmouth: a mistake, however, not peculiar to this work. For this information, and a good geographical account of these places, the Editor is indebted to Mr. Andrew Burn, of Tweedmouth, whose ancestors lived at Ancroft, and suffered persecution for their Nonconformity. For several of the above the editor is obliged to a friend. He requests the reader, to cerrect others which may be discovered, as yet overlooked.

MINISTERS EJECTED OR SILENCED

NORFOLK.

LDY [Chap.] Mr. JOHN BANISTER. Probably the place intended is ALDBY, which is in Clavering Hundred, or Alby, near S. Reppis.

BARFORD [R.] Mr. ROBERT PURT. He lost two livings of considerable value, and suffered greatly by imprisoninent and loss of goods. He continued, after his ejectment, preaching at Windham to a good old age.

BARTON HULM. Mr. CHARLES SUMPTER.

BECONTHORP. Mr. JOHN LOUGHER. His father, Mr. Thomas Lougher, was minister of Lotheringefield near Holt in this county, in which living he was succeeded by this his son, who, after some time, had the living of Beconthorp near the same place, and from thence was ejected. He could not, however, have been long in it at the time of his ejectment, because he was ordained by Bp. Reynolds, who had but lately obtained a bishoprick. He afterwards became minister of a congregational church at South-Reppis and Alby. He was a man of great moderation, of a catholic spirit, and a diffusive charity; much beloved and respected by serious persons of all denominations. He, with many others, was imprisoned, about the time of Monmouth's landing, when he contracted an illness from which he never recovered. In other VOL, IIL-NO. XXI.

BUCKENHAM (New). Mr. CHRISTOPHER AMYRAUT. After his ejectinent he preached in several places in this county.

Mr. NICHOLAS PITT. He signed the Attestation as minister of the gospel at Bunwell.

BURNINGHAM [C.] Mr. THOMAS WORTS. Brother to Mr. Richard Worts of Foulsham. After his ejectment here, he was pastor of a congregation at Guestwick in this county. He died about 1697. [A correspondent has communicated the following anecdote of him. He was brought from Burningham into Norwich with a sort of brutal triumph, his legs being chained under the horse's belly. As he was conducted to the castle, a woman looking out of a chamber-window, near St. Austin's-gate, at which he was. brought in, called out, in contempt and derision, "Worts, where's now your God?" The good confessor in bonds, desired her to turn to Micah vii. 10. She did so, and was so struck, that she was a kind friend to him in his long confinement. The words are, • Then she that is mine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her which said unto me, "Where
