BERNIIERE was fellow in the university of Cam- bridge, where he received his education. He, like manyof his puritanical brethren, scrupled the episcopal ordination of the national church, and went abroad, when he was ordained in one of the foreign reformed churches. About the year 1590, his claim to his fellowship was disputed in the univer- sity, because he was not a minister according to the church of England ; but it does not appear whether he suffered deprivation. Upon his appearance before the governing ecclesiastics, Mr. Alvey very zealously defended his cause, and boldly maintained, that he was as good a minister as any there present.t GEORGE NEWTON was the puritan minister at Barnwell in Northamptonshire. He never wore the surplice, nor used the cross in baptism, nor allowed the use of the ring in marriage, nor would he permit the oldest of his parishioners to come to the Lord's supper till they had passedhis examina- tion. Mr. Newton having spoken in a public discotirse on the afflictions of the righteous, observed, that the proceedings of the bishops in the suspension of worthy ministers were tyrannical; for which he was accused to those in authority. When he appeared before his superiors, and was required to explain his meaning, he said that he meant this of antichristian bishops4 Jomv ALLISON was fellow in the universityof Cambridge, and afterwards minister at the place mentioned in the last article, but was suspended in 1583, for refusing subscription to Whitgift's articles. He afterwards served the cure of Horningsheath in Suffolk, where he was again suspended by Dr. Legg; and it is added, that, although he was in neither case absolved, he still continued to preach.§ Fuller's Hist. of Cam. p. 147. + Baker's MS.
