An Account of the Sufferings and cruel Torments of CUTHBERT SYMSON, Deacon of the Christian Congregation in London.
An Account of the Sufferings and cruel Torments of CUTBERT SYMSON, Deacon of the Christian Congregation in London.
CUTHBERT SYMSON was a man of a faithful and zealous heart to Christ and his true flock, insomuch that he never ceased labouring, and studying most earnestly, not only how to preserve them without corruption of the popish religion, but also his care was very vigilant, how to keep them together without danger or peril of persecution. The pains, travail, zeal, patience, and fidelity of this man, in caring and providing for this congregation, as it is not easily to be expressed; so it is wonderful to behold the providence of the Lord by vision, concerning the troubles of this faithful minister and godly deacon, as in this here following may appear.
