page 109It should be stated that Mr. Heywood's Register is arranged for three columns to a page, for baptisms, marriages, and burials or "ffunerals," as he sometimes heads it ; but he seems to have utilized vacant columns and spac s in the Register by transcribing from 'the little velum book with one clasp' the entries he refers to. This accounts for many of the columns being written in a slightly more modern hand. The whole of the entries to within a few days of his death are, however, in his own hand-writing. It is worthy of remark that two pages are left blank before Mr. Dickenson, his successor, resumes the entries, and not one word as to Mr. Heywood's death and burial occurs. He, who had been so particular in noting the deaths of his friends, and who was succeeded by a minister as particular as himself, has no line in his own book in which his death is recorded. Yet those two blank pages speak volumes. Even the Revs. Dr. Fawcett, Richard Slate, and Joseph Hunter, have not exhausted the lessons to be derived from the life and writings of good Oliver Heywood. Before proceeding to copy from Mr. Dickenson's portion of the Register, we will digress by supplying a large quantity of unpublished notes bearing on the ecclesiastical history of the West Riding of Yorkshire from 1672 to 1700. In 1672 Charles the Second issued his DECLARATION OF INDULGENCES. From the thousands of applications for licenses to preach, or for preaching places, (now preserved at, the Public record Office, London,) the following list for Yorkshire has been compiled by Mr. Marsh. The {Indulgence} lasted only till 1673, but the number of applicants shows that the severe laws from 1662 had not been effectual in securing conformity.
