Confessors

Th. Gataker, (a Branch of an ancient Family at Gataker-Hall, in this County, from the time of King Edward the Confessor,) was bred in the Tem∣ple, and afterwards present at the Examination of persecuted People in the Reign of Queen Mary. Their hard usage made him pity their persons, and admirable Patience to approve their Opinions. His Parents perceiving his inclination, used all possible means to divert the same by sending him beyond the Seas, and providing liberally for him; then (these proving ineffectual) by recalling his Person, and reducing his Allowance, all which would not do. He afterwards studied Divinity and became Pastor of St. Edmunds in Lumbard-street London where he died An.—leaving Th. his learned Son (of whom formerly among the Writers in London) heir to his Pains and Piety.
