C H Spurgeon
Those great preachers whose names we remember, were men who counted nothing their own. They were driven out from their benefices, because they could not conform to the Established Church, and they gave up all they had willingly to the Lord. They were hunted from place to place ... they wandered here and there to preach the gospel to a few poor sheep, being fully given up to their Lord. Those were foul times; but they promised they would walk the road fair or foul, and they did walk it knee-deep in mud; and they would have walked it if it had been knee-deep in blood too.
Dr Lloyd-Jones
We thank God for the memory of these men, who, having seen the position clearly, acted upon it at all costs. May God give us grace to follow in their train!
J C Ryle
A more impolitic and disgraceful deed never disfigured the annals of a Protestant Church ... an injury to the cause of true religion in England, which will probably never be repaired ... We ought to know something about the subject, because it serves to throw immense light on the history of our unhappy religious divisions in this country.

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.
