The Manuscript 69 [He proved to be a bad man, & the money was returned to me.] And I have given 10 Guineas to one Pap a poor Hungarian who came to spend a Year at Oxford on a mistaken Imagination that he might be maintained there; & am to give him 10 more, if he finds Encouragemt to stay out the Year. I have also given 10 Guineas to Mr Finnman who came to beg money for building a Reformed Church in one of the Dutchies of Mecklenberg. The Queen had given 100 Guineas.
Notes to the Manuscript FOLIO 2 (1693) Thomas Seeker (d. 1700): of his three marriages only the third is clearly documented. He married Abigail Brough on 18 December. 1685, at Shelton [Parish Registers of Shelton, edited by T.M. Blagg (Worksop, 1900), pp. 16 & 50]. There is little other information available about the earlier Seeker generations. Alcock: nothing more is known of this man. William: William Seeker (d. 1681): his sermon was subtitled The Salve of Divinity on the Sore of Humanity laid open at a Wedding at Edmonton, by William Seeker, ''preacher of the Gospel," which was published in 1658 and again "for the benefit of the poor" in 1705. The Nonsuch Professor . . . the singular actions of sanctified Christians laid open in seven sermons at Allhallows Church in the Wall London (1660) almost became a spiritual classic, being published again with some amendments in 1795 and in 1915 by the Religious Tract Society; it was very biblical, and after the manner of the time almost too rich in antitheses and conceits. William Seeker became vicar of Allhallows the Less, January 1663. These sermons he dedicated to Sir Edward Barkham and his wife of Tottenham, Middlesex, to whom he was tied "in so many silken cords of y r constant favours, that I must live and die in those pleasant fetters." Barkham had been M.R for Boston 1625-26 and sheriff of Norfolk 1635-36, and was represented in the dedication as holding, and practising, that "fear God and honour the King" were two commands which God had joined together, and that no man should put asunder. Thomas Seeker (d. 1676), son of Thomas Seeker of Grantham, was admitted sizar at Christ's college, Cambridge in 1664, taking his B.A. in 1667 and his M. A. in 1671. He had a younger brother George, also sizar of Christ's, who was granted an M.B. in 1672 (Venn, Alumni Cantab.). Earl of Shrewsbury: Charles Talbot (1660-1718), fifth earl and godson of Charles II, who was of recusant origins but conformed to the Church of England in 1679. He was a signatory to the invitation to William of Orange and created duke in 1694. Although important in securing the Hanoverian succession in 1714, he did flirt with Jacobitism after 1715 (G. E. C., Complete Peerage).
