*And seeing it hath pleased him to give me to see 30. years completed since these beginings; and that the great works of his providence are to be observed, I have thought it not unworthy my paines to take a view of the decreasings & increasings of these persons, and such changes as hath passed over them & theirs, in this thirty years.

His sone '''Wrastle''' dyed a younge man umaried; his sons Love lived till this year 1650. and dyed & left 4. children, now living.
