Some Account of Mr , William Manning 9 an Ejected Minister and an Unitarian * ^ Communicated by the Rev . S . S . Toms . ] JFramlzngJiam , Jan . 10 , 1817 . Sir , PERUSING the Review of Wilson s Dissenting Churches , in your Number for December , ( XL
725 , ) last night , my attention was arrested by a paragraph respecting Mr . William Manning ; and fearhig it might be passed over in silence by others , I thought it incumbent on me to communicate to you what J could respecting him , having been long situated in the neighbourhood where he resided .
Had Mr- Wilson turned to the name of Manning in Palmer ' s Nonconformists 1 Memorial he would have seen that Peaseiihall , ( there spelt Pesnall ) wns in Suffolk , from whence Mr , John Maiming was ejected , a worthy man , well known in most of the j tils in the county for his uudeviating adherence to the dictates of his conscience—
that Mr . Samuel Manning was ejected from Walpole , and early joined himself to an Independent Church formed there in 1647 * which is about three miles from Pea sen hall on the road to Halesworth , and that William Manxiiug was ejected from Middleton , which is about the same distance

His works are said to have been , " Ca-. tholic Religion , and some Discourses upon Acts x . 35 , ' 86 , " but from the title of his book , now before me , in 12 rnO ., it appears to be one and the same work , viz . " Catholic Religion * or the Just Test or Character of every Person that in any Nation is accepted with God : discovered in an explication ofthe nature of the true fear of
God , and working of righteousness , with which the sfime is connected . lu some Discourses upon Acts x . 35 , 06 , wherein several important doctrinal truths , more immediately influential upon practice , are plainly
opened and vindicated from their too common misunderstanding . By William Manning . " ' * Happy is the man that feareth aJway " Crov . xxviii . 14 . JLondon : Printed for Dorrnan
Newman , at the King ' s Arms , in the Poultry , 1686 . " That the piece merits the title of Catholic appears from the following quotation , from p . 29 : —** Whether or no there be any now in the world , out ofthe church , that have not heard
of Christ , that are strangers to the covenant in its peculiar advantages now under the last edition of the gospel , that be true fearers of God , ( the candle of the Lord being so far extinct among them , Gal . ii . Q 8 , 9
