Ivimey, op. cit., III, 583-7. (Samuel's wife died on March 16, 1795 and they had been married for more than forty years [Rippon, op. cit., 1794-97, pp. 385f.].) back. 009 Ivimey, op. cit., IV, 351; 111, 590f. back. 010 Ibid., IV, 351; Samuel Stennett, Works, I, xff., Samuel wrote the letter from Bartholomew Close. back. 011 Ibid., I xii; Ivimey, op. cit., iv, 355. back. 012 The Journal of the Rev.

Wesly wrote about about the incident in a letter dated May 23, 1768. He does not specify whether it is Joseph Stennett II or Samuel Stennett. in The Letters., the editor mentions the "father of Dr. Joseph Stennett, jun." so I suppose he thought it was Joseph II who was involved in the incident. However, Because Wesly in 1768 had "never yet" seen Stennett, and Joseph II died in 1758, I am inclined to think it was Samuel who was involved in the incident. back. 013 Anthony Lincoln, Some Political and Social Ideas of English Dissent 1763-1800 (Cambridge: 1938), p. 23; Brendy, op.cit., p. 158. back. 014 A Sermon occasioned by the Death of His Most Sacred Majesty King George the Second (preached in Little Wild Street, Nov. 2, 1760) (London: 1760), p. 1.

Lincoln, op. cit., pp. 73f.: By the close of the eighteenth century, the giving of honorary ministerial degrees "had become so common as to be disreputable; when Robert Robertson was offered a Doctorate of Divinity from Edinburgh he considered that `so many egregious dunces have been made D.

The British Museum -- Catalog of Printed Books mentions two editions in 1766; Whitley, A Baptist Bibliography mentions there were three impressions in 1766. back. 041 Payne, Baptists of Berkshire, p. 90. The Pinners' Hall Record Book(p. 128) says of the Stennett Sabbath morning supply and of the several ministers who supplied in the afternoon: "This state of things continued during upwards of the twenty years, allowing for the short interim from the occupancies by the Rev. Thomas Whitewood's Ministry, who died a few weeks after he was chosen pastor." The Sabbath Recorder (Oct. 3, 1344) says, "the church gave itself to the pastoral care of Edmund Townsend, who continued until his death in 1765. Mr. Thomas Whitewood succeeded him, but only preached three times before he was removed by death. For nearly twenty years after the death of Mr. Whitewood, Dr. Samuel Stennett . . ." This account is in error in at least two ways: (1) Townsend died in 1763 according to the record book and (2) Stennett preached four years before Whitewood's ministry as well as the nearly twenty years afterwards. SDBs in EA says that Whitewood began his ministry in June and died in October (I, 54). back. 042 Payne, Baptist of Berkshire, p. 79. back. 043 Minutes of the General Assembly of the General Baptist Churches In England, II, 133. back. 044 SDBs in EA, I, 53; Wilson, op. cit., II, 581. back. 045 A Charge Delivered At The Ordination of the Rev.
