"Nov. 3, 1588, was baptized Renewed, the doughter of William Hopkinson, minister. "Feb. 28, 1591, was baptized Safe-on-Highe, the sonne of Will{m}. Hopkinson, minister of the Lord's Worde there.[31] "Oct. 29, 1596. Constant, filia Thomae Lorde, baptisata fuit. "March, 1621. Rejoyce, filia Thomae Lorde, baptisata fuit die 10, et sepulta die 23. "November, 1646. Bethshua, doughter of Mr. John Lorde, minister of Salehurst, bapt. 22 die." These entries are of the utmost importance; they begin at the very date when the new custom arose, and are patronized by three ministers in succession--possibly four, if Thomas Lorde was also a clergyman. Heley's case is yet more curious. He had been prescribing grace-names for his flock shortly before the birth of his first child. He thus practises upon his own offspring: "Nov. 7, 1585. Muche-merceye, the sonne of Thomas Hellye, minyster. "March 26, 1587. Increased, the dather of Thomas Helly, minister. "Maye 5, 1588. Sin-denie, the dather of Thomas Helly, minister. "Maye 25, 1589. Fear-not, the sonne of Thomas Helly, minister." Under rectorial pressure the villagers followed suit; and for half a century Warbleton was, in the names of its parishioners, a complete exegesis of justification by faith without the deeds of the law. _Sorry-for-sin_ Coupard was a peripatetic exhortation to repentance, and _No-merit_ Vynall was a standing denunciation of works. No register in England is better worth a pilgrimage to-day than Warbleton.[32] Still confining our attention to Sussex and Kent, we come to Berwick: "1594, Dec. 22. Baptized Continent, daughter of Hugh Walker, vicar. "1602, Dec. 12. Baptized Christophilus, son of Hugh Walker."--Berwick, Sussex. I think the father ought to be whipped most incontinently in the open market who would inflict such a name on an infant daughter. They did not think so then. The point, however, is that the father was incumbent of the parish. A more historic instance may be given. John Frewen, Puritan rector of Northiam, Sussex, from 1583 to 1628, and author of "Grounds and Principles of the Christian Religion," had two sons, at least, baptized in his church. The dates tally exactly with the new custom: "1588, May 26. Baptized Accepted, sonne of John Frewen. "1591, Sep. 5. Baptized Thankful, sonne of John Frewen."--Northiam, Sussex. _Accepted_[33] died Archbishop of York, being prebend designate of Canterbury so early as 1620: "1620, Sep. 8. Grant in reversion to Accepted Frewen of a prebend in Canterbury Cathedral."--"C. S. P. Dom." One more instance before we pass on. In two separate wills, dated 1602 and 1604 (folio 25, Montagu, "Prerog. Ct. of Cant.," and folio 25, Harte, ditto), will be found references to "More-fruite and Faint-not, children of Dudley Fenner, minister of the Word of God" at Marden, in Kent.
