… and Presbyterianism under Cromwell and those of the Restitution. Are names such as Hall, Usher, Ward, Featley, Balcanqual and Love unfamiliar to him? Many ‘godly Puritans’ suffered under and documented both persecutions, the second of which was a sad reaction to the first. Twice persecuted Baxter’s severe criticism of both Cromwell and the Restitution Parliament are extant.

… persecute Baptists, Quakers and other Christian denominations? Why did Love, Adams, Featley, Hall, Ward, Balcanqual, Manton, Charnock etc., etc, protest and suffer? Why did Baxter call Cromwell “a vile and detestable creature” and state after Love’s murder, ordered by the Protector, that “most of the ministers and good people of the land, did look upon the new Commonwealth as tyranny”?

Contemporary unionists Richard Sibbes, John Davenport, Samuel Ward, Richard Holdsworth, Philip Nye, John White, Cornelius Burgess, John Durie, Thomas Edwards, Thomas Goodwin, Daniel Featley, Joseph Hall, William Laud, George Abbot, Joseph Mead, Robert Leighton, John Bergius and the bulk of British scientists, educators, poets and writers, besides a majority of German, Dutch, Swiss, Polish, Romanian, Hungarian and Swedish Reformers, all refute Wilson. …
… middle of the town with two acres of garden from the Governor’s nephew for £800. In no time, Ward had set up his press, sufficient paper was at hand and he began to print the Bengali Bible. Due to the generosity of the Danish King, the missionaries were able to add a school, a college, a hostel and private houses so that within a few years, the buildings alone of the mission station covered five acres. These were set in several acres of botanical gardens. Soon after settling in …
… In May of that year Carey received a letter, posted over seven months previously, from William Ward who had once met him briefly at Goat Yard Church, Southwark. Ward wrote that he wished to live and die with Carey and was setting out forthwith for India ‘ with the others’ ! Who the others were, he did not say. As the British government had banned missionaries from entering British India, Ward and the others, i.e. the Marshmans, the Grants and Brunsdon, had boarded an American ship …

… Landaff; Joseph Hall, Dean of Worcester: John Davenant, a Cambridge Margaret-Professor and Samuel Ward, Master of Sydney College, Cambridge. All these were men of outstanding Christian credentials and learning. Equal to them was the representative for the Church of Scotland, Gualter (Walter) Balcanqual, Fellow of Pembroke College.

His equally Reformed family, which included Edward Davenant and Church Historian Thomas Fuller, were either removed …
… had to tell him that he was ‘killing’ such as Fountain, an excellent missionary. So, too, Ward and Marshman were greatly grieved to find that Fuller was sabotaging their church planting. Fuller demanded Society-controlled British Baptist churches only and not indigenous churches with non-denominational names. Has Haykin forgotten or never read that Ryland, whom Haykin sees as holding the rope as long as Carey lived, was a chief rope-cutter? Carey had to tell Ryland that his enormous …

If the Serampore Trio had followed Fuller as he demanded, they would have isolated themselves from their Lutheran, Anglican and Independent brethren already in India and stopped the necessary British political support. Fuller was two-faced on this …
