    Rae , a work not now much koown but marked by information and inte . grity . ; " ' " ' ' ^ "We have it from several good hands , that upon this day ' s march , ( Nov . 12 , 1715 , ) Mr . ^ oad and Mr : fFalher two Dissenting Ministers in Lancashire , came to General Wills , yet few miles

    while he wi ^ s some from Preston , and told him they had a considerable party of men weU armed for his Majesty ' s service , and that they were ready to take any part his Excellency was pleased to assign them . As soon as he knew who they were , and had seen their men , he told them that after he was come to Preston he

    would assign thenya post . Accordingly , when he arrived there he made the necessary disposition for an attack , and sent back to tell them to keep the bridge of Ribhle , to prevent the Rebels escaping £ hat way , or their friends coming from that side to join them . This they did with so much

    courage and bravery , that the General regretted afterwards that he had not assigned them a better post . However , we are told that after the General went up to London , he was pleased to notify their good conduct on that occasion to Government , who generously settled upon them j £ 100 per 9

    ^^ «** «^ •« m ** ^ . W annum . It is well known that the Rebels were surrounded in Preston , and taken so effectually , that it put a speedy end to the insurrection . Thus the Protestant Dissenters , though not the * blind and indiscriminate admirers of

    all the measures of Government , have within them the seeds of genuine lovalty . This numerous andrespeetable body of religionists can , on a proper emergency , rush forth , and , buckling on their armour , aid the cause as well as swell the triumphs of civil and religious liberty . The patriotis m of these two Dissenting Ministers entitles them to a niche in the temple of

    fame ; their deeds should occupy » {> age in the annals of their country , ndeed , their well-directed ardpwr » so good a cause , when tltfmaafiaa of Catholics , and even Churchmen , stflW aloof , ought , with every due encomium , to descend to posterity .

    feeling grateful that the family of the Stuarts were never suffered to return ror the destruction of them . Neither the Rebellion of 1715 nor of 1745 succeeded . In the suppression of these memorable insurrections , our

    Dissenting forefathersr took an active part , and the Brunswick family were sensible of their merits on these occasions . Job Orion , in his Life bfDodtiridge , mentions this good man going about and enlisting young men out of

    his congregation , in the year 1745 . Bill the following- circumstance has recently come to my knowledge ; it is 9 , Hote 9 tonwd in the History of the
