And especially in yonder Country of Lancashire, and those Northern Parts; where he shook the pillars of Popery more valiantly and successfully, than any these many years. Officers in those Parts observed, that in his two or three years, he convicted, confined, and conformed moe Papists than were in twenty years before. And that last charge he gave at Lancaster in his last Circuit but one, for I meddle not with the last of all, for law learning, earnestness and excellency against Popery, prophanenesse, non-residency, and other corruptions of the times, and for the extraordinary heartening and encouraging all good men and godly Ministers was such, that I am persuaded, it will be remembered with dearness and love, while any honest man that heard it or heard of it, is alive in those Parts.
