FOOTNOTES:
[1] This Pedigree is given with the Hope that it will tend to interest
some Descendant to investigate the Subject, and to compose a Genealogy
worthy of it. The Compiler of this is not acquainted with any of
the Name, and has here thrown together such Facts as were among his
Memoranda, chiefly made many Years ago.
[2] Not much Confidence is felt that the Family given to this PETER is
the correct one.
[3] This _James_ may not be the one mentioned in _N. Eng. Hist. and
Gen. Reg._, xiv, 271; but is supposed to be he.

MEMOIR OF ROBERT CALEF.
WHEN any Man has moral Courage enough to speak plainly against any
Vices, Follies, or Superstitions surrounding him, he must not only be
a bold Man, but he does so regardless of the Cost; for all Experience
teaches that whoever undertakes a Reformation of the Kind must
experience a Fate not altogether unlike him who waged War with the
Philistines.
