JHe was the eldest son of Mr. Thomas Bridgeman of Greenway, otherwise called Spyre Park, near Exeter, in the county of Devon, and grandson of Mr. Edward Bridgeman, sheriff of the city and county of Exeter for the year 1562-3.1 John Bridgeman was born at Exeter, in Cookrow Street, and christened at the church of St. Petrok's in that city, in the paro- chial register of which is the following entry : " the seconde of November, A.D. 1597, John Bridgman, the son of Thomas Bridgman, was baptized." '1 Bishop John Bridgeman is rightly described by Sir Peter Leycester as the son of Mr. Thomas Bridgeman of Greenway, though Ormerod, in his History of Cheshire, who takes Leycester's Historical Antiquities as the groundwork for his History, erro- neously calls him the son of Edward Bridgeman, and Ormerod's mistake has been repeated by his later editor (Helsby's ed.

    JOHN WESLEV, M.A. Oit pat"niing Yf'ceutly acquired by the Rector of L£ucoln College, Oxford. PROCitEDINGS, ANOTHER PORTRAIT OF JOHN WESLEY AT LINCOLN COLLEGE, OXFORD· The Rector of Lincoln College has recently acquired a portrait of John Wesley of which he kindly sends us a photograph. At present the name of the painter appears to be unknown. For purposes of comparison we have sent to Oxford copies of the best known portraits of Wesley in his later years, including two of Romney's (1789), Hamilton's (1789), and Jackson's well known synthetic portrait, painted in 1827. · The Rector suggest! that in some respects the newly discovered portrait resembles Hamilton's. The writer of this note asks : is it a replica by Jackson, or a copy of his original painting at the 1 Book Room '? It is uncertain who possessed it before it came into the hands of 1 a dealer'. Can any member of the W. H. S. throw light upon it? We have not yet seen the oil painting itself. If some reader is able to do so, with the Rector's permission, he will want to compare it with other portraits. The critic will know something of technique, of composition, and colour. He will be able to discern what pigments were used by the painter. He will enquire if on the painting, or canvass, or frame, there is any trace of a name, or date. He may recall Ruskin's saying (in Modern Painter1), 1 there is not the face which the painter may not make ideal if he choose ; but that subtle feeling which shall find out all of good that there is in any given countenance is not, except by concern for other things than art, to be acquired.' He will agree with P.

ON the deprivation of bishop Bridgeman a nonconformist minister was put into possession of the church and parsonage of Wigan.

He was the son of John Bradshaw, of Darcy Lever, near Bolton-le-Moors, a gentleman of good family, by Alice, daughter of Robert Lever, of Darcy Lever, his first wife.' Mr. John Bradshaw, the father, died in 1662,2 and was succeeded at Darcy Lever Hall by his son James, the subject of this memoir.

    NORTH-WEST UNIVERSITY (POTCHEFSTROOM CAMPUS) in association with Greenwich School of Theology UK The resilience of the eighteenth century hymn in contemporary Church of Ireland (Anglican) worship – a liturgical study by David Baxter #22299068 Thesis submitted for the degree Doctor of Philosophy (Liturgics) at the Potchefstroom Campus of North-West University Promoter : Prof. Ben de Klerk Co-Promoter : Revd Prof. Roger Grainger November 2012 ABSTRACT The combination of observational, anecdotal and circumstantial evidence suggests that, in the present-day Christian church, older, traditional hymns are slowly but inexorably being replaced by modern, contemporary ones. Whilst it is a truism that hymnody, like every other aspect of civilisation, moves forward with the times, there still remains a large number of people, congregations and clergy for whom the early eighteenth century English hymn is a genre that remains ever-popular. This research focuses deliberately on the eighteenth century hymn for four main reasons. First, hymns from this period are widely used in most Christian denominations. Second, the eighteenth century was a particularly fertile period for hymnody. Third, this was the era of Watts and Wesley, arguably two of the greatest hymn writers of all time; their burgeoning popularity thrust the eighteenth century into a period of proclivity for hymn writing. Finally, the whole area of hymnody in the Church of Ireland appears to be under-researched. Thus, in seeking to determine why older, more traditional hymns continue to be published in Church of Ireland hymnals this research fills a very obvious gap. This study establishes that this resilience is real and not merely perceived.

The first is in relation to the wonderful architecture on our island site. The ongoing programme of refurbishing the original Butterfield buildings has continued and for Old Members who return to the College after a period of time I imagine that one of the most striking revelations is the area around the porter’s lodge, with the recently cleaned brickwork on Parks Road, the tunnel restored so that its creator’s intentions can be properly understood and the lodge itself made much more attractive to students and visitors alike. Such is the impact of the brickwork that at Encaenia the Orator, referring to a number of building projects across Oxford, mentioned Keble with the observation that, as in a number of other places, the scaffolding had come down, in Keble’s case to reveal “Keble - like the old London buses always redder than one had remembered”.

    Short Biographies for Contemporary Persons Appearing Recurrently in John Wesley’s Correspondence -prepared by Randy L. Maddox For the Wesley Works Editorial Project [updated: January 5, 2021] Note: Both maiden and married names are shown for women whenever known; their biography appears under the family name used earliest or most frequently in the correspondence. Abraham, Rev. John (fl. 1764–84) A native of the district of Fahan (just outside Londonderry), Abraham took his BA at Trinity College, Dublin in 1768, was ordained, and served as a curate in the Templemore parish of Londonderry and chaplain at the Chapel (of Ease) of the Immaculate Conception in Fahan. In 1776 he was converted under the influence of Rev. Edward Smyth, and joined Smyth for a while preaching in Dublin. In 1778, at JW’s request, Abraham left Ireland to assist at the new Chapel on City Road in London (see his only appearance in the Minutes that year, Works, 10:475). He proved physically and temperamentally unsuited to this role and returned to Ireland the following year. In 1782 he was again in London. The last JW knew of him, Abraham was confined in a hospital as ‘insane’. See J. B. Leslie, Derry Clergy and Parishes (Enniskillen: Ritchie, 1937), 291; Crookshank, Ireland, 1:276, 307, 397, 332; and JW to Alexander Knox, Dec. 20, 1778 & Feb. 7, 1784. Acourt, John (fl. 1740s) Acourt was an ardent Calvinist, whom JW believed was resolved to argue all the early Methodists into his Calvinist view, to set the societies in confusion by endless disputes, or to tell all the world that the Wesley brothers were ‘false prophets’.
