The worthy Colonel Thomas Hunt dyed at his House in Shrewsbury, April 12. 1669. a true Nathaniel, an Israelite indeed, in whom was no Guile: One that like Caleb, followed the Lord fully in difficult trying times; ⟨p. 253⟩he was a Member of the long Parliament for Shrewsbury, and very active for God in his Generation, abounding in good Works, and his Memory is blessed. I was going to Shrewsbury upon an appointment of his, and by the way met the sad news of his Death, which was sudden, but not surprising, to one that was always ready. He was twice at public Ordinances the day before, being Lord's day, worshipped God with his Family in the Evening, went to bed well as at other times; but about two or three a Clock in the Morning waked very ill, and before five fell asleep in the Lord. Help, Lord, for the Godly Man ceaseth.

Mr. George Mainwaring, a Faithful Minister of Jesus Christ, and my worthy Friend, dyed in a good old Age, March 14. 1669/70. gathered as a shock of Corn in his Season. He was born in Wrenbury Parish in Cheshire, supported at the University by Mr. Cotton of Cumbermere, where he had the Reputation of a good Scholar; he was brought acquainted with the ways of Religion, by means of Mr. Buckly his Uncle, a strict Puritan. He was first Chaplain to Sir Henry Delves, afterwards Rector of Badly, and Chaplain to Sir Thomas Mainwaring. After the Wars he was removed to Malpas, whence he was ejected upon the King's coming in. His Conversation was exemplary, especially for plainness and integrity; he was eminent for expounding Scripture. While he was at Malpas, he constantly gave all the Milk which his Dairy yield ed on the Lord's day to the Poor.
