As I write this, these Memoirs are passing through the press; and I am indebted to Mr Longstaffe for early proof-sheets of the notices of Gilpin contained in the Manuscript. No common service is being rendered by Mr L. and the Surtees Society, to Ecclesiastical History, in so lovingly and competently preparing these important memoirs, which shed light on innumerable events and names, from sixteenth to eighteenth centuries. An abstract of the more interesting passages was published in 1828 by Sir Charles Sharpe, 8vo, pp. vii. and 35. I have to thank J. Hodgson Hinde, Esq., of Stelling Hall, Stocksfield, for this scarce pamphlet.

Since this Memoir was published, I have discovered that Dr Airay was son of Bernard Gilpin’s sister Helen. See the Apostle’s ‘Will,’ in the Surtees’ volume of ‘Wills and Inventories, from the Registry at Durham,’ (1860,) Part II., pp. 83-94. So that the Gilpins and Airays were related. I have to thank William Jackson, Esq., Fleatham House, St Bees, for calling my attention to this. It explains obscurities in the life of Airay, and gives a key to Bernard Gilpin’s special interest in him.

[15] In a large quarto manuscript volume of ‘Memoirs’ of the Gilpins, drawn up by the Prebendary of Salisbury, (supra,) now before me by the kindness of its possessor, Charles Bernard Gilpin, Esq., Juniper Green, Edinburgh, I find the following concerning the above points: ‘He was the son of a younger brother, and being born to no estate, applied the first years of his life to the study of physic. But feeling a stronger inclination to divinity, he laid aside all thoughts of practising as a physician, and changing entirely the course of his studies, he took his degrees in divinity; but at what university, I find no account,’ (page 1.)
[16] See Appendix B. I have here gratefully to acknowledge the painstaking of Mr T. A. Eaglesim, M.A., of Worcester College, Oxford, by himself and the Bursar of Queen’s, in examining every likely source of information.
[17] See Appendix C, for some of these.

[21] The ‘Life’ of this singularly original and inventive Prelate is so scanty and unworthy of his fame, that we do not wonder at no notice of his Savoy ministry, or of Gilpin as his assistant. Calamy is rarely wrong in his facts.

[25] Ibid. In various authorities the ground of Moreland’s ejection is given as ‘ignorance and insufficiency’—whatever the latter may mean; but as Walker, who is usually referred to for it, makes no such statement, I have not adduced it. It is sufficient that the Commissioners were picked men for intellect and character; and that wherever data remain, their decisions are almost invariably warranted by the premises.

To which is added a Postscript concerning the Deceased, by another hand.’ London (reprinted) 1818, pp. 37, 38. The little ‘Chapel’ wherein this Sermon was preached still remains, and has now as its minister the Rev. David Y. Storrar, who occupies it as a mission-charge of the United Presbyterian Church (of Scotland). This congregation originated, it is believed, from those who could not remain in the Parish Church of Greystoke after Gilpin left and Moreland returned; and thus is of the oldest of the Presbyterian congregations in England. See above tractate, whence we learn that on Dr Gilpin’s ‘motion,’ the Nonconformists of Greystoke ‘called’ another to fill his place for them. Then the Narrative continues: ‘Mr Anthony Sleigh, a native of the same parish, and bred in the College of Durham, was obtained to become their minister, and so continued about forty years, though he had only slender [pecuniary] encouragements there. Their meeting was held mostly in the house of John Noble, and sometimes under covert of the night, as Christ’s disciples sometimes did,’ (page 44.)

[32] I suspect few know this rare and very valuable tractate. Its title-page runs, ‘A Model for the maintaining of Students of choice abilities at the University, and principally in order to the Ministry. Together with a Preface before it, and after it a Recommendation from the University, [this bears the signatures of Worthington, Arrowsmith, Tuckney, Whichcot, Ralph Cudworth, and William Dillingham;] and two serious Exhortations, recommended unto all the unfeigned lovers of Piety and Learning, and more particularly to those rich men who desire to honour the Lord with their substance.’ [1658-60.] There is a characteristic letter in it from Baxter.

[34] Here again I owe thanks to Mr Lees of Wreay, as before; also to Rev. David Y. Storrar, Penruddock, and the present curate of Greystoke, (Mr Raby), for result of searching through the ‘Registers,’ which have some curious entries.

[36] I have left unquoted the process by which Winder was (1.) seduced to, and (2.) recovered from Quakerism, though the reader will do well to consult it.
[37] The ‘Noble’ Postscript says, ‘Somewhat remarkable happened at his resuming the pulpit, which some living (1708) can tell, but I omit it.’ Moreover, Morland’s return was against the wishes of the parishioners: for the narrative continues, ‘After this some offered to put up one Mr Jackson in the pulpit: which the contrary party did so violently oppose with threats to crush them into the earth, that Mr Jackson went with them to the parsonage-house, and preached there,’ (p. 43.) M. died in about a year.
[38] As before, p. 6.
[39] ‘A good old aunt of mine—mother of the present Mr Fawcett of Scaleby Castle—took particular pride in shewing a certain very large room in her Castle. Her theory was that this was one of the great attractions of the place in Dr Gilpin’s view: for here he would have room enough to preach to as many people as were likely to attend, and liberty also: Scaleby, as she observed, being at just such a distance from Carlisle as to place him beyond the operation of the Conventicle Act.’—Charles Bernard Gilpin, Esq., Juniper Green, Edinburgh.
[40] Ibid., p. 9.
[41] That is James Fawcett, Esq. I do not know how sufficiently to acknowledge the courtesy and kindness of Mr and Mrs Fawcett in furthering my Gilpin inquiries. Besides early drawings and recent photographs of the Castle and grounds, I have had an ancient unpublished family-volume of rare interest confided to me. It is entitled ‘An Accompt of the most Considerable Estates and Families in the County of Cumberland, from the Conquest unto the beginning of the Reign of K. James the First.’ The original MS., an inscription informs us, is supposed to have been ‘writ by an ancestor of Mr Denton’s of Cardow during ye time of his imprisont. (as ‘tis said) in ye Tower upon a Contest yt happ’ned to be betwixt him and Dr Robinson, then Bp. of Carliell.’ This ‘copy’ seems to have been taken about 1687. I cull the following memoranda concerning Scaleby from this precious little volume: ‘Ye Castle ... took name first of ye buyldings there wch they call Scheales or Scales, more properly of ye Latin word Scalinga, a caban or cottage. When King Henry 1st had established Carliell [Carlisle] he gave yt lordship unto one Richard the Ryder, whose surname was Tylliolf, who first planted there habitations. From him it descended by one or two degrees unto Symon Tylliolf in ye later end of King Henry 2d’s tyme. His son, Piers Tylliolf or Peter, was ward to Geoffrey de Lucy by the king’s grant about ye tyme of K. John. This Geoffrey de Lucy did bear ye cap of maintenance before K. Richard 1st at his coronation. Sr. Peter de Tilliol, kt., son of Sr. Robt., dyed, A.D. 1434: 13 Henr. 6, having enjoyed his estate 67 years. He had issue one son who dyed without issue in 1435, when the estates were divided between two sisters and co-heirs, Isabella and Margaret. Isabella had married one John Colville, and his son Wm. succeeded and died 1479, leaving two daughters, Phillis and Margaret. The eldest was married to Wm. Musgrave. Margaret, the 2d daughter, married to Nicholas Musgrave, and transferred Scaleby, Haydon, and other Lands to his posterity. Sr. Edwd. Musgrave, Kt., son of Wm., married Katherine Penruddock: he built or repaired part of ye Castle at Scaleby A.D. 1606.... Sir Wm. Edwd. Musgrave, Bart., of Nova Scotia, who afterwards suffering great losses on ye account of his faithful service to K. Charles I and K. Charles ye 2d, he was forced to dismember a great part of his estate. He sold Kirklevington to Edmund Appelby, Houghton to Arthur Forster, Richardby to Cuthbert Studholm, and Scaleby to Richard Gilpin, who now [1687] enjoys ye same together wth Richardby, wch he also purchased of Michael Studholm, fil Cuthberti,’ [p. 432.] [On Scaleby, cf. pp. 429-435.] There are similar interesting notices of Greystoke, or Graystock, or Graistock, which is explained to mean ‘a badger,’ [cf. pp. 311-315,] going back with old lore to Syolf, and Phorne, and Ranulph in the days of the 1st Henry, on to the Dacres, and Norfolks, and Arundel. Scaleby Castle has been much enlarged, together with the Estates, and the visitor of the district will find it a delightful pilgrimage. The older trees are all the more venerable that one knows Dr Gilpin himself ‘planted’ them.
To shew the way Royalists suffered themselves to speak of even so ‘moderate’ and so inestimable a man as our Worthy, simply because he continued conscientiously a Nonconformist at enormous sacrifices, I add here a quotation from the ‘County’ History: N. and B.’s Westmoreland and Cumberland, as before, vol. ii. p. 459: ‘Scaleby: Mr Sandford—in the true spirit of those times—speaking of Scaleby, says, “It was sometime the estate of Sir Edward Musgrave of Hayton, baronet; but now sold to Mr Gilpin, a quondam preacher of the fanatical parliament, and his wife, Mr Brisco’s daughter, of Crofton, brethren of confusion in their brains; knew what they would not have, but knew not what they would have, if they might chuse.”’ This ‘reviling’ is High Church charity; and it is wondered at that Nonconformists retort sharply when occasion offers.
[42] As before, pp. 6, 7.
[43] ‘Life’ of Bernard Gilpin, as before, p. 128, seq. The coincidence is certainly striking of the double offer, at the distance of fully a century, of a bishopric, and the same bishopric, to two Gilpins, and a double declinature and actualisation of the ‘nolo episcopari.’ This and even more remarkable, because more intricate and manifold, repetitions, in the Lives of the elder and younger Edwards of America, [Cf. Memoir of the latter, prefixed to his Works, Vol. i. pp. xxxiii, xxxiv. Andover, U.S. 1842.] have been turned to excellent account in refuting the so-called objections of scepticism and rationalism to the repetition of the incidents and miracles and sayings of the Lord in the Gospels.
[44] Further on, and in his epitaph, we shall find allusions to the declined bishopric, as having greatly added to the influence of Dr Gilpin, as the acceptance of one by Reynolds neutralised even his worth, and stains his memory indelibly.

Besides authorities already named, I am under obligation to Dr Bruce (author of ‘The Roman Wall’) for Turner’s ‘Sketch’ of his Church in Newcastle; also to Mr James Clephan, Newcastle, for his valuable Paper, ‘Nonconformity in Newcastle Two Hundred Years Ago.’ A new edition of the latter will doubtless correct certain inadvertencies and misprints in an otherwise well-timed and vigorous tractate.
[53] I must cordially acknowledge my obligation to Sir James Y. Simpson, Bart., M.D., for putting me in communication with the Leyden Professor.
[54] Copies of this ‘Disputatio,’ which Gilpin must have neglected to deposit in Leyden, will be found in the Bodleian and in the British Museum ‘Libraries.’

[56] Raine’s ‘Depositions’ as before: foot-note by Mr Longstaffe, pp. 172, 173. Theologically, William Durant was unquestionably evangelically orthodox, and in no sense, save that the Church-property is held by the Unitarians, can he be called the ‘founder’ of their Church in Newcastle. By the same plea Matthew Henry of Chester, and scores of others, might be claimed as ‘Founders’ of Unitarian congregations. I state this simply as matter-of-fact, and not controversially. I may observe that Gilpin’s ‘Letter’ to Stratton (onwards) more probably indicates the commencement of the Unitarian ‘separation.’
[57] See Calamy, and authorities, as before.
[58] This Sermon, from some unexplained cause, is extremely rare and high-priced. I was indebted to Mr Wilson, Tunbridge Wells, for a copy.

[61] Turner, in giving the above extract, misled by 1699, imagines it must refer to some other Dr Gilpin. He forgot that the year did not begin then until March 25; so that, while under our reckoning it was 1700, under the old it was 1699; and hence the marking until the change of the going and coming year, e.g., 1699-1700.

[72] A Journal of the Life of Thomas Story: containing an Account of his remarkable Convincement of and Embracing of the Principles of Truth as held by the people called Quakers: and also of his Travels and Labours in the Service of the Gospel: with many other Occurrences and Observations. Newcastle-upon-Tyne, printed by Isaac Thompson and Company, at the New Printing Office on the Side. MDCCXLVII. Apart from the light under which everything is seen, this book is a perfect repertory of facts on the moral and religious condition of our country at the period. There are innumerable sketches of persons and places of mark all over North and South, given with a transparent naiveté and occasional raciness of wording that is very taking. Story continued to be received on the most friendly terms by the Gilpins, and by sons and daughters after Dr Gilpin himself was dead. Cf. pp. 470-473.
[73] It may be well to give in a foot-note Story’s account of another and later visit to Dr Gilpin:—‘The same evening I visited Dr Richard Gilpin, formerly mentioned, having still a great respect for him and all his family. He was an eminent physician and preacher among the Presbyterians at Newcastle; to which place he had removed from Cumberland after the Revolution. And with him also I had some discourse about matters of religion; in which he discovered more passion and prejudice than became his high profession or years, and could not bear any contradiction. But I advised him to beware of that spirit, for it wanted mortification: and this I did in a calm and respectful mind, which reached the better part in him, and brought it over the evil; and then I left him in a loving temper. For though he was naturally high, and the most eminent and celebrated preacher of that profession in the North, and from his very early days deeply prejudiced, and almost envious, against Friends, yet he heard me with more patience—though that was little—than he ever did any other.’—P. 100.
[74] By the favour of Mr Nichol I have had one hundred large-paper copies of this edition of ‘Dæmonologia Sacra’ thrown off—quarto: and prefixed is the portrait of Gilpin, and a fac-simile of a portion of this manuscript.
