For further particulars of Thomas Salthouse, the reader is referred to
Whiting’s _Memoirs_, p. 452-460. Whiting concludes his account by
saying, “He was a pleasant man in conversation, which rendered him
acceptable to many others as well as Friends, had a large capacity,
and an excellent gift in the ministry. He wrote some notable books,
and excellent epistles to Friends, though never collected as they
deserve. He died at his own house Cornwall in 1690, about sixty years
of age, in peace with the Lord; and is no doubt at rest with him from
all his labours and sufferings, and his works follow him.”

John Whitehead was a very eminent Minister amongst the early Friends,
valiant for the truth, and a great sufferer for it. His life and
writings have been published, to which the reader is referred. He
wrote a very beautiful and encouraging epistle to Friends, dated
Aylesbury prison, 12th month, 1660, which is inserted in _Letters,
&c., of Early Friends_, 382-387. William Penn, in his preface to
_Whitehead’s Works_, says, “He was among the most eminent for his
sound mind and capacity, great zeal and boldness, and as great
humility, patience, and labour in word, doctrine, and charity.”
Footnote 4:
Hugh Tickell was born in Cumberland, about the year 1610, being
convinced by George Fox when he first visited Cumberland in 1653, he
gave up his house for meetings, and entertained the Lord’s messengers.
He became a faithful and eminent minister, travelling up and down in
the service of the Gospel, suffering much for it, both in the spoiling
of his goods and in imprisonments. In 1664 he was cast into Carlisle
jail, with four other Friends, by priest Marshall of Crosthwaite, and
though he kept him in prison three years, yet he took tithe of his
land. But afterwards this priest fell down stairs and broke his skull,
upon which he died. Hugh Tickell was again imprisoned in Carlisle
jail, when about sixty-eight years old, by Richard Lowry, another
priest of Crosthwaite, because he could not pay him tithes, who kept
him prisoner about nine months, part of it in a cold winter, and in a
damp nasty place not fit for men to lie in. This priest Lowry was
suddenly stricken, and had the use of one side of his tongue, and his
understanding much taken from him, and so continued a long time—a
remarkable judgment.
Hugh Tickell patiently bore all his sufferings, and willingly endured
them for the testimony of Jesus and a good conscience. But in his last
imprisonment he contracted a distemper of body, which, increasing upon
him after he came home, he grew weak, but continued in great patience;
and being sensible his end drew nigh, set his house in order, and,
taking leave of friends and neighbours, he sweetly departed in great
peace in 1680, being above seventy years of age.
