_(For the Mirror.)_ A table showing the various changes in his religion, which by the statute were required of Henry Jenkins, of Ellerton-upon-Swale, in the county of York, in compliance with the principle, that the English Constitution is essentially identified with the religion of the state, and making it his bounden duty (as that of every subject) to conform to it. Henry Jenkins was born in 1501, and died at the age of 169, in 1670. He consequently was required by law, to adopt the following changes in his religious creed and practice:-- Henry Jenkins The Constitution should have been Reigns of being essentially during 1st from Henry VII. and VIII. Catholic 33 years. 1501 to 1534 2nd from Henry VIII. {Between Catholic & } 13 1534 to 1547 {Church of England } 3rd from Edward VI Church of England 6 1547 to 1553 4th from Mary Catholic 5 1553 to 1558 5th from {Elizabeth, James I.} Church of England 91 1558 to 1649 {Charles I } 6th from Interregnum Fanatic 4 1649 to 1654 7th from Protectorate Presbyterian 7 1654 to 1660 8th from Charles II Church of England 10 1660 to 1670 169 years, the age of Henry Jenkins. Jenkins was buried at Bolton-upon-Swale. A handsome pyramid marks his grave, as the oldest Englishman upon record, and in the church is a monument to his memory, with the following inscription, written by Dr. Thomas Chapman:-- Blush not marble! To rescue from oblivion The memory of Henry Jenkins, A person obscure in birth, But of a life truly memorable, For He was enriched With the goods of nature If not of fortune; And happy In the duration If not variety Of his enjoyments, And tho' the partial world Despised and disregarded His low and humble state, The equal eye of Providence Beheld and blessed it With a Patriarch's health and length of days To teach mistaken man These blessings Were entailed on temperance, A life of labour, and a mind at ease. He lived to the amazing age of 169 years, Was interred here the 6th December, 1670, And had this justice done to his memory, 1743.
