Mr. John Machine was buried at Newcastle, Septemb. 8. 1664. a worthy instrument in Gospel Work: Laborious, Faithful, and Successful above his Fellows; taken away in the midst of his Days; the first Candle I have heard of put out by God, among the many hundreds put under a Bushel by Men.

Mr. Heath, late Minister of Julians Church in Salop, was buried May 28. 1666. He was of Christ's-College in Cambridge, where he was much valued for his great Learning, especially in the Oriental Tongues, in which he was one of the greatest Masters of his Age. He was employed to Correct the Syriac and Arabic of the Polyglot Bible, which was sent down to him in Sheets for that purpose, for which Bishop Walton gave him a Copy. He read the Liturgy till August 24. 1662. and then was Silenced, because he could not come up to the imposed Terms of Conformity. When the Five Mile Act Commenced, March 25. 1666. he removed to Wellington, and there within a few Weeks Dyed, and was Buried. When he lay upon his Death bed, Mr. Lawrence asked him what Reflections he had upon his Nonconformity; Truly (said he) I would not but have done as I did for a Thousand Worlds. He had great Confidence, that God would provide for his Widow and Children, according to Promise. [The Character Mr. Baxter gives of him is, that he was moderate, sedate, quiet and Religious.]
