"But in those two books you showed yourself pragmatical only; but in this of _Martyrdom_ not a little impious, in your unworthy reflections upon almost all the honest people of England since the beginning of the reign of _Oliver_ the First, and some time before; not sparing many loyal worthies' memory who held up a good cause upon their sword points (as you express it) as long as they could; and when they could do so no longer, either dy'd for't, or deliver'd themselves up to the will of the conqueror, yet never (as you) abjur'd the cause. Our rulers you suppose are ill affected (otherwise your talk of Popery at your rate is like that of one that were desirous and in conspiracy to bring in Popery): and, undoubtedly, it had been in already, had not the prayers of Mr. C., and the fifty righteous _Non-Cons_ in every city, prevented it." Ἁλιέυς. Dublin. [_The Preparation for Martyrdom_ is not to be found either in the Bodleian or British Museum Catalogues. The author of the _Letter_ in reply to it, however, has afforded a clue to its authorship. Zachary Cawdrey, who appears to have been an admirer of the Vicar of Bray, was Rector of _Barthomley_ in Cheshire during the Commonwealth, and for fourteen years after the Restoration; this explains the hint in the _Letter_, of "setting their voices to the tune of _B--ley_." Cawdrey, moreover, was the author of _Discourse of Patronage; being a Modest Inquiry into the Original of it, and a further Prosecution of the History of it_: which is also noticed in the _Letter_. Zachary Cawdrey was born at Melton Mowbray about 1616; at the age of sixteen he entered St. John's College, Cambridge; and in 1649 became Rector of Barthomley, where he died Dec. 24, 1684. His brother David was one of the ejected, and the author of several works.] _Reference wanted._--I find, in Blackwood, No. XXXVI. p. 432., a reference to an article in the _Edinburgh Review_, by Sir D.
