^{page 169 note *} The decree to which Dr. Teate did not assent was that against women sitting in the chancel. This decree in the above series it will be seen stands tenth and not ninth ; the fourth, being reserved, was not counted.

^{page 169 note †} The son of this Dr. Faithfull Teate or Tate was Nahum Tate, one of the authors of the metrical version of the Psalms.

^{page 169 note ‡} “You had better let him alone,” Archbishop Ussher warned Bedell's assailants in Dublin, “for fear, if he should be provoked, he should say much more for himself than any of his accusers can say against him.” (Harris's Ware's Works, i. 236.)
