Here's sixty pieces of his labours, and he was sixty years of age.
He was born at Elstow, high Bedford, about 1623. And about 1652 was, by irresistible grace, converted: and in 1660 he had preached five years, and then, for that, was thrown into Bedford (God); and in 1671 was called to the pastoral office at Bedford, being the 11th of his twelve years and an half's imprisonment; and died at London, Aug. 31, 1688.
