Pharaoh occurs, and went out to Virginia, where it has ever since remained. It is, as already shown, familiar enough in Yorkshire. Of New Testament names, whose associations are of evil repute, we may mention Ananias, Sapphira, and Antipas. Ananias had become so closely connected with Puritanism, that not only did Dryden poke fun at the relationship in the "Alchemist," but _Ananias Dulman_ became the cant term for a long-winded zealot preacher. So says Neal. "1603, Sep. 12. Buried Ananias, sonne of George Warren, 17 years."--St. Peter, Cornhill. "1621, Sep. Baptized Ananias, son of Ananias Jarratt, glassmaker."--Stepney. _Sapphira_ occurs in Bunhill Fields: "Here lyeth the body of Mrs. Sapphira Lightmaker, wife of Mr. Edward Lightmaker, of Broadhurst, in Sussex, gent. She died in the Lorde, Dec. 20, 1704, aged 81 years." She was therefore born in 1633. Her brother (they were brought up Presbyterians) was Robert Leighton, who died Archbishop of Glasgow. _Drusilla_, again, was objectionable, but perchance her character was less historically known then: "1622. Baptized Drusilla, d. of Thomas Davis."--Ludlow. _Antipas_, curiously enough, was almost popular, although a murderer and an adulterer: "1633, Feb. 28. Baptized Antipas, sonne of Robert Barnes, of Shadwell."--Stepney. "1662. Petition of Antipas Charrington."--"Cal. St. P. Dom." "1650. Antipas Swinnerton, Tedbury, wollman."--"Tokens of Seventeenth Century." Dr. Increase Mather, the eminent Puritan, in his work entitled "Remarkable Providences," published at Boston, U.S.A., in 1684, has a story of an interposition in behalf of his friend Antipas Newman. Of other instances, somewhat later, _Sehon_ Stace, who lived in Warding in 1707 ("Suss. Arch. Coll.," xii. 254), commemorates the King of the Amorites, _Milcom_ Groat ("Cal. St. P.," 1660) representing on English soil "the abomination of the children of Ammon." Dr. Pusey and Mr. Spurgeon might be excused a little astonishment at such a conversion by baptism. _Barrabas_ cannot be considered a happy choice: "Buried, 1713, Oct. 18, Barabas, sonne of Barabas Bowen."--All-Hallows, Barking. Mr. Maskell draws attention to the name in his history of that church. There is something so emphatic about "now Barrabas was a robber," that thoughts of theft seem proper to the very name. We should have locked up the spoons, we feel sure, had father or son called upon us. The father who called his son "Judas-not-Iscariot" scarcely cleared the name of its evil associations, nor would it quite meet the difficulty suggested by the remark in "Tristram Shandy:" "Your Billy, sir--would you for the world have called him Judas?... Would you, sir, if a Jew of a godfather had proposed the name of your child, and offered you his purse along with it--would you have consented to such a desecration of him?"
