THOMAS WOOLETON. 
Thomas Wooleton, B. D. fome time 
fellow of Sidney College, in Cambridge, 
was trie: and conviéted in March, 1729, 
in the Court of King’s Bench, for caufing 
to be prin.ed and publithed a blafphemous 
book, entitled, Di/courfes on the Miracles 
of our Saviour. The judgment againtt 
him was, that he fhould pay a fine of 
sool. fuffer a year’s imprifonment, and 
give {ceurity for his good behaviour dur- 
ine life, himfelf in a recognizance of 
2<ocl. two fecurities in 1o0ol. each, -or 
four in sool. each, 
To thefe difcourfes there were feveral 
an{wers. That written by Mr. Solomon 
Lowe, is a concile, clear, and matterly 
performance. The Trial of the'Wituefes 
of the Refurrection of Fefusy in anfwer to 
Mr. Wooleton’s Difcourte on the Refurrec- 
tion, is an entertaining and elegant piece, 
written with much fpirit, correcinels, 
energy, and. good fenfe, without the leait 
degree of that fcurrility which was for- 
merly fo common in religious difputes. 
The following paragraph was printed 
in feveral new!papers: ‘* On Saturday 
night, January 27, 1722.3, died Mr. 
Wooleton, author of the Difcourfes on 
our Saviour’s Miracles, in the 66th year 
of his age. About four or five minutes 
before he died, he uttered thefe words :-— 
‘ This isa ftruggle which cll men muf} go- 
through, and which I bear, not only with 
patience, but avillingnefs.. Upon which 
he clofed his eyes, and fhut his Jips, with 
feeming defign to compole his face with 
decency, without the help of a friend’s 
hand, and then he expired.”

remind thee off, that thou be infinitely 
to performe to God all thole 
holy promifes which I feppofe thou didft 
make in thy fickneffe, and remember what 
thoughts thou hadft then, and beare them 
along upon thy fpiritt all thy life time, 
for that which was true then is foe ftill, 
and the world is really as vaine a thing 
as thou didit then fuppofe it. I durf not 
tell thy mother of thy danger (though I 
heard of it) "till at the fame time I told 
her of thy recovery. Poore woman! fhe 
was troubled and pleafed at the fame time; 
but your letter did determine her. I take 
it kindly that thou halt writ to Bowman. 
If I had bene in condition, you fhou!d not 
have beene troubled with it; but as it is, 
thou and I mutt ke content. Thy mother 
fends her bleffing to her and her little 
Mary ; foe do I, and my prayers to God 
for you both. Your little cofens are your 
fervants ; and I am, ;
