FORD, Stephen,—continued.
liberty was granted, a meeting-place was erected for him
in Miles-lane, near Thames Street, where he was Pastor of
a Congregational Church. Here he held a catechetical
lecture for young men at 7 in the morning on Lord's days,
and afterwards changed it to the evening; which it is to be
hoped did much good. Dr. W. says, "It hath been re-
ported that this Mr. Ford had been a Servant to the head
of an house." Supposing that report true, he might yet be
a very worthy and useful man, and might afterwards have
gone thro' a course of study. WORKS.-A Discourse,
