ADDENDA. 517 author ofa work entitled, " An Exposition of the xiii. chap. of the Revelations of Jesus Christ," 1619. This came out after his death, in which the publisher observes, that it was the author's desire and purpose to have published a work upon the whole of Revelation, but was prevented through the malice of the prelates, who several times spoiled him of his goods, and kept him many years in prison. A minister of the same name was A. M. and rector of Babcary in Somersetshire, in the year 1587 ; but whether he was the same person it is difficult to say.. JOHN MORTON was one of Mr. John Smyth's disciples at Amsterdam,from whom he received baptism by immersion. He afterwards came to England, was a zealous preacher of the sentiments of the general baptists, and a sufferer in the cause of nonconformity. He was contemporary with Mr. Helwisse, and a popular preacher in the cityof London.t He is supposed to have been the author of a book entitled, " Truth's Champion," a work in high repute among those of his own persuasion.t MR. HUBBARD was a learned divine, and episcopally ordained, but afterwards he separated from the church of England. A congregation of separatists having been formed in Southwark, London, in the year 1621, he was chosen to the office of pastor. The pastor and members of this church resolving afterwards upon a removal, most probably on account of the oppressions of persecution, accom- panied him to Ireland, where he died. Having lost their pastor, they returned to their native country, and settled in the vicinity of London, choosing the famous Mr. John Canne for their pastor.¢ JOHN YATES, B. D. was fellow of Emanuel college) Cambridge, and afterwards minister of St. Andrew's in the city of Norwich.11 About the year 1625, Dr. Montague having published his Appello ad Gesarem, declaring himself in favour of arminianism, and making dangerous advances towards popery, Mr. Yates answered it in a work entitled, Wood's Atbenw, vol. i. p. 816. t Bailie's Anabaptism, p. 93. t Crosby's Baptists, vol. i. p. 276-278.
