A man with a kind of cap on his face, and his feet crossed, and very pointed toes, and a sword by his side." "At Dacrefield?" cried Mr. Andrewes; "surely there isn't a Templar at Dacrefield?" "It were in the old church that came down," continued the churchwarden, "in the old Squire's time. There was a deal of ancient rubbish cleared out then, sir, I've heard, and laid in the stackyard at the Hall.
As I dreamed, it seemed a wonderful and beautiful vision, though all that I could ever remember of it in waking hours was the sheerest nonsense. And this was the beginning of my acquaintance with the Rev. Reginald Andrewes.
Bishop Lavington wrote a book to hold up to scorn the enthusiasm of Methodists and Papists; and what would have seemed reasonable and natural in matters of religion and worship in the age of Cranmer, in the age of Hooker, in the age of Andrewes, or in the age of Ken, seemed extravagant in the age which reflected the spirit of Tillotson and Secker, and even Porteus.
