Great preachers' names, we here recall,
Who faced the harshest storm.
So willingly they gave up all,
Refusing to conform.
Hounded from home, these men of prayer
Were driv'n from place to place.
Shepherds, they wandered here and there
Eager to preach God's grace.
They gave themselves to God aware
They walked knee deep in mud.
To serve they'd promised, foul or fair,
They'd wade waist deep in blood.

Hi, Gary,
A most impressive site! I will have to spend a lot more time browsing your works!
However, 'grasping at straws' - do you have any knowledge/links etc on the works of Isaac Watts? In particular, I want to try and understand the use of church music and the transition from 'plainsong' into the much more popular tunes as now transcribed through years of Victorian editions. Quite simply, what were the tunes/harmonies that Watts or other congregations actually used. Do you know of any archive that might possibly have copies of original music scores?
In Him,
Ray T
I can't remember if I rsponded to this but I'm afraid I'm of no help on the issue you raise. Sorry.
The sermons seem to have vanished from that site (maybe they weren't conservative enough).
Well done for putting together this excellent resource on the Great Ejection. I knew a bit about but I now know more after reading some of your site.
