Mr. Thomas Bridge, who had been Rector of the higher Rectory of Malpas about fifty seven Years, being aged about eighty two Years, was buried at Malpas, Octob. 7. 1682. In his last sickness, which was long, he had appointed Mr. Green, one of the Curates there, to preach his Funeral Sermon on 1 Tim. 1. 16. Howbeit, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first, Jesus Christ might show forth all long-suffering: And to say nothing in his Commendation, but to give a large Account of his Repentance upon his Death-bed, &c. He was a taking popular Preacher, preaching often, and almost to the last. When old, he could read the smallest Print without Spectacles.
