Soon after his Settlement at Broad-Oak, he took a young Scholar into the House with him; partly to teach his ⟨p. 132⟩Son, and partly to be a Companion to himself to Converse with him, and to receive help and instruction from him; and for many Years, he was seldom without one or other such; who before their going to the University, or in the intervals of their attendance there, would be in his Family, sitting under his Shadow. One of the first he had with him, in the Year 1668. (and after) was Mr. William Turner, born in the Neighbourhood; afterwards of Edmund Hall in Oxford, now Vicar of Walberton in Sussex, to whom the World is beholden for that Elaborate History of all Religions, which he Published in the Year 1695. and from whom is earnestly expected the Performance of that Noble and useful Project, for the Record of Providences. Betwixt Mr. Henry and him there was a most entire and affectionate Friendship; and notwithstanding that distance of place, a constant and endearing Correspondence, kept up as long as Mr. Henry lived.
