[484] In the Vernon Correspondence, vol. ii. 55, allusions occur to “one of the Prebends of Durham” a Nonjuror in heart, suspected of Jacobitism. “By what I have now heard,” says Vernon to the Duke of Shrewsbury, “there never was so true a pharisee; he was affectedly devout in outward show, using all the ceremonies both of the Greek and Western Churches; his practice was to pray and sing psalms while he and his friends were travelling in his coach.”

[488] Murch’s History of Churches in West of England, 139, 157, 89. “I have seen,” says Mr. Murch, “a curious account by a Mr. Butler, of the disbursements to every labourer, and for all the materials used in the erection of the meeting-house at Warminster.” The new chapel was opened in 1704; previously the Dissenters of Warminster worshipped in a barn. The Rev. H. Gunn, in his interesting History of Nonconformity in Warminster, gives full particulars derived from this account, and adds that William Penn once preached in the barn. He also notes that the ministers regularly officiating received 12s. 6d. for two services, equivalent to £1 17s. 6d. in the present day.
