Between which two Extremes the Life of men and Lord Protectors has to pass itself in this world, as wisely as it can. Let us read them, and hasten over to the new Year Fifty-Seven, and last Depart- ment of our subject. LETTER CCXV Newcastle-upon-Tyne, or the Mimicipal Authorities there, as we may perceive, are rather of the Independent judgment and have a little dread of some encouragement his Highness has been giving to certain of the Presbyterian sect in those parts. This Letter ought to be sufficient reassurance. TO THE MAYOR OF NEWCASTLE : TO BE COMMUNICATED TO THE ALDERMEN AND OTHERS WHOM IT DOTH CONCERN Whitehall, 18th December 1656. Gentlemen, and my very good Friends,—My Lord Strick- land, who is one of our Council, did impart to us a Letter VOL. IV. A ; : 2 PART X. SECOND PARLIAMENT [18DEC. writtenJrom yourselves to him, according to your desire therein expressed ; which occasions this returnJrom us to you. As nothing that may reflect to the prejudice ofyour outward Good, either Personal or as you are a Civil Government, shall easily pass with us; so, mu^h less what shall tend to your discouragement, as you are Saints, to your Congregations, gathered in that way of fellowship commonly known hy the name of Independents, whether of one judgment or other — " this "" shall he far from being acttmlly discountenanced, or passively " left to " suffer damage, hy any applying themselves to me. I do, oncefor all, give you to understand, that I should thereby destroy and disappoint one of the m^in endsfor which God hath planted me in the station I am in. Wherefore I desire you in that mMter to rest secure. True it is that two Ministers, one Mr. Cole and one Mr. Pye, did present to me a Letter in the name of divers Ministers of Newcastle, the Bishoprick of Durham and Northumberland; of an honest and Christian purpose : the sum whereof I ex- tracted, and returned an Answer thereunto — a true Copy whereof I send you here enclosed. By which I think it will easily appear, that the consideration of my kindness is well " "^ deserved hy them ; provided they observe the condition there expressed; which in charity I am hound to believe they will; and without which their own consciences and the world will know how to judge of them. Having said this, I, or rather the Lord, require of you. That you walk in all peaceableness and gentleness, inoffensive- ness, truth and love towards them, as becomes the Servants and Churches of Christ. Knowing well that Jesus Christ, of whose diocese both they and you are, expects it. Who, when He comes to gather His People, and to make Himself * a name and praise amongst all the people of the earthy—He * will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out, and will get them praise and fame in every land, where they have been put to shame.'' ^ And such ^lame ones'' and ^ driven-out ones'' were * Zephaniah iii.

  • The Search for San Ffraid
    The Search for San Ffraid ‘A thesis submitted to the University of Wales Trinity Saint David in the fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts’ 2012 Jeanne Mehan 1 Abstract The Welsh traditions related to San Ffraid, called in Ireland and Scotland St Brigid (also called Bride, Ffraid, Bhríde, Bridget, and Birgitta) have not previously been documented. This Irish saint is said to have traveled to Wales, but the Welsh evidence comprises a single fifteenth-century Welsh poem by Iorwerth Fynglwyd; numerous geographical dedications, including nearly two dozen churches; and references in the arts, literature, and histories. This dissertation for the first time gathers together in one place the Welsh traditions related to San Ffraid, integrating the separate pieces to reveal a more focused image of a saint of obvious importance in Wales. As part of this discussion, the dissertation addresses questions about the relationship, if any, of San Ffraid, St Brigid of Kildare, and St Birgitta of Sweden; the likelihood of one San Ffraid in the south and another in the north; and the inclusion of the goddess Brigid in the portrait of San Ffraid. 2 Contents ABSTRACT ........................................................................................................................ 2 CONTENTS........................................................................................................................ 3 FIGURES ...........................................................................................................................

  • JOSEPH MATTHIAS of HAVERFORDWEST, PEMBROKESHIRE, 1771-1835) Luke Millar
    JOSEPH MATTHIAS OF HAVERFORDWEST, PEMBROKESHIRE, 1771-1835) Luke Millar Although furniture making was the defining activity of the cabinet maker, many regional firms in fact provided a wide range of services to their communities, varying according to the size and location of the firm and the enterprise and skills of its proprietor. It can be misleading to confine one’s investigations to furniture alone, because the relative quality, size and status of the firm is reflected by all its activities. The range of activities found among firms in South West Wales in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, who defined themselves primarily as cabinet makers, covers principally upholstery (including furnishings and room decorations), joinery, building, architecture to at least a minor extent, undertaking, valuing and auctioneering. Occasionally too we find wheelwright and carriage building, timber merchant, and combinations with other businesses such as inkeeper, ironmonger, or grocer. The object of this article is to study the activities of one such firm, comparing it where appropriate with others in the same district and period. Joseph Matthias is well suited for such a study because he had a high status in his community, covered a very wide range of activities including undertaking and carriage building, and worked in a town, Haverfordwest, which was wealthy and displayed high standards in its architecture and cabinet making. In addition, when he retired from cabinet making in 1830 and sold his business, he left an inventory of the whole stock of goods and materials on his premises. This is given in its entirety at the end of this article, and reference will be made to its contents as evidence of the varied nature of his work.

  • Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority
    Report No. 12/17 National Park Authority REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF DELIVERY AND DISCOVERY SUBJECT: ST DAVIDS CITY OF CULTURE 2021 Purpose of report To highlight work undertaken to date by Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority to support the St Davids City of Culture 2021 bid and to seek Member approval for further involvement and investment going forward. Background The UK City of Culture programme was born from the success of Liverpool as the European Capital of Culture in 2008. It is a UK Government scheme administered by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). Derry-Londonderry was the first UK City of Culture in 2013 and Hull is the current UK City of Culture 2017. The aim of the programme is to encourage the use of culture and creativity as a catalyst for economic and social regeneration, to promote the development of new partnerships, and to encourage ambition, innovation and inspiration in cultural and creative activity. It is intended to make a step change in the regeneration of an area and to create a lasting legacy. It is also an opportunity to showcase local culture to the world as the award brings with it significant media coverage on the national and international stage. The successful UK City of Culture will deliver a high-quality cultural programme over a full year, building and expanding on local strengths and assets, and reaching a wide variety of audiences. The programme will leave a lasting legacy both in terms of social regeneration and economic impact. It is expected to contribute to economic growth, regeneration, community cohesion and health and well-being.

I will endeavour to serve the local community during this unprecedented time to the best of my ability. I also take this opportunity to thank my predecessor, Cllr Mike Chant and Mayoress Sue Chant for all the valuable community work they did and contributed to over the last two years. For those who do not know me, my formal Sikh name is Balbir Singh Sehmi, but I am known as Bira Sehmi. I was born in Nairobi, Kenya (pioneering Sikh family in East Africa last century). I was educated in Nairobi and London. I have worked in various well-known international architects’ practices in London, Surrey, and Hampshire. My wife is a local born farmer’s daughter (the late Perkin and Enid Jones) and I have been coming to St Davids since mid 1960’s. We have been full time residents since 2010 and I was elected as a City Councillor in May 2017. I am a committee member of St Davids Community Forum, Memory Cafe, Friends of Oriel y Parc and St Davids Historical Society. My interests are cooking, cricket and spiritual healing. Well what a year it has turned out be. This pandemic has affected us all in one way or another.
