Dean Whittingham was, by his 
 braining, and by his ten years' 1560 
 
 1500] residence on the Continent. 
 rather a Diplomat than b Scholar 
 and b Divine. It was Calvin himself 
 that forced him into the Ministry in 
 
 lf». r >9: in order that he alight take 
 charge of the English Church at 
 Geueva, when Knox returned to 
 Scotland. 
 
 Queen Elizabeth rewarded Whit- 
 iingham's splendid services at the 
 Siege of Havre in 1562, partly as 
 Chaplain to the English Forces there 
 and also as a private soldier, by 
 giving him the Deanery of Durham ; 
 without his having previously served 
 as the Incumbent of any parish. 
 
 This personal friend of Lord BUR- 
 LEGH was considered so skilful in 
 affairs and so good a linguist that he 
 was once thought of, to be made a 
 Secretary of State. 
 
 In the Rebellion of the North in 
 1569, his military experience enabled 
 him to secure Newcastle upon Tyne 
 from the Rebels. 
 
 This many sided man was also one 
 of the chief Editors of the Geneva 
 Version of the English ' Bibl< 
 
 Hearing, in France, that the Magis- 
 trates of Frankfort on the Main had 
 been so good as to make their City a 
 Kefuge and an Asylum for the flying 
 French and Flemish Protestants ; 
 Whittingham and other Englishmen 
 
 came there in June 1664, and founded 
 a Church : the Troubles of which 
 form the main story of this book. 
 
 This k Brief Discourse ' introduces 
 us to a famous company of Protestant 
 Divines; Calvin, Knox, and a perfect 
 galaxy of Archbishop Bishops. 
 
 Deans, and Writers, of the Church 
 of England. 
 
 It likewise contains Accounts, by 
 Eye Witnesses, of the English Protes 
 bant Exiles, in Queen Mahv's reign, at 
 Bash 1 , Duisburg, Eniden. Frankfort, 
 Geneva, Strasburg, Wesel, Worms, 
 and Zurich. 
 
 But, apart from this Historic Pic- 
 ture of the Exile, it also records the 
 \ ery beginning of the Rift between 
 
 t he English Conformists and Non- 
 conformists; or the Origin of English 
 Puritanism. 
 
 It liLew [se describes the formation, 
 
 the continuance, and the destruction, 
 of the first Nonconformist Church in 
 English Historv
