General Notes (Husband)
The Character of an Old English Puritan, or Non-Confo r m i st
The Old English Puritan was such an one, that hono r e d G o d above all, and under God gave every one his du e . Hi s fi rs t care was to serve God, and therein he di d no t wha t wa s go od in his own, but in God's sight, mak ing t he wor d o f God t he rule of his worship. He highl y esteem ed orde r i n the Hou se of God: but would not und er colo r of tha t subm it to supe rstitious rites, which a re super fluous, a nd peri sh in thei r use. He reverence d Authorit y keeping w ithin it s sphere: b ut durst not un der pretenc e of subject ion to th e higher pow ers, worshi p God afte r the tradition s of men . He made consc ience o f all God' s ordinances, tho ugh som e he esteemed of m or e consequenc e. He was much i n prayer ; with it he began a n d closed th e day. It is he w as much e xercised in his c loset , famil y and public assemb ly. He est eemed that man ner of pr aye r best, whereby the g ift of God , expression s were vari e d according to presen t wants and o ccasions ; yet did h e no t account set forms u nlawful. There for e in that circ umstanc e of the church h e did not whol l y reject the litu rgy, but t he corruption o f it. He est eeme d reading of th e word an ord inance of Go d both in p rivat e and public bu t did not accoun t readin g to be pre aching . The word rea d he esteemed of mor e auth ority, bu t the wor d preached o f more efficiency. He a ccou nted pr eaching as n ecessary n ow as in the Primitive Chu rc h, Go d's pleasure be ing stil l by the foolishness of prea c hin g to save those th at bel ieve. He esteemed the preach i n g best wherein was mos t o f God, least of man, when va i n flo urishes of wit and wo r ds were declined, and the d emo nstrati on of God's Spiri t a nd power studied: yet cou ld h e distingu ish between st udie d plainness and neglige nt rud eness. He ac counted per spicui ty the best grace o f a preac her: And tha t method b est, whi ch was most help ful to th e understanding , affect ion, and m emory. To whi ch ordinari ly he esteemed no ne s o conducibl e as that b y doctrine, re ason and use. He es t eemed those s ermons b est that came cl osest to the conscie n ce: yet woul d he h ave men's conscien ces awakened, not t hei r persons di sgr aced. He was a man o f good spiritual a ppetit e, and cou l d not be contented wit h one meal a day . An after noon s ermo n did relish as wel l to him as one i n the mornin g . He wa s not satisfied wit h prayers withou t preaching : whic h if i t were wanting a t home, he woul d seek abroa d: yet wou ld h e not by absenc e discourage hi s minister , if faithful , tho ugh another mi ght have quick er gifts . A lecture he est eeme d, though no t necessary, y et a bl essing, and would rea d su ch an oppor tunity with s ome pa ins and loss. The Lord' s Da y he esteem ed a divin e ordin ance, and rest on it necess ary , so far a s it cond uced t o holiness. He was very conscie nt ious in o bservanc e o f that day as the mart day of the sou l . He wa s caref u l to remember it, to get house, and hear t i n orde r fo r i t and when it came, he was studious to imp rov e it . H e re deems the morning from superfluous sleep, an d wa tc h es th e whole day over his thoughts and words, not o n l y t o res train them from wickedness, but worldliness . A l l part s o f the day were like holy to him, and his c are w a s conti n ued in it in variety of holy duties: wha t he hea r d in p ubli c, he repeated in private, to whet i t upon him se lf a nd fami ly. Lawful recreations he though t this day u nse as onable, an d unlawful ones much more ab ominable: ye t h e k new the liber ty God gave him for need ful refreshin g , whic h he neither di d refuse nor abuse . The sacramen t o f baptis m he received i n infancy, whic h he looked bac k t o in age t o answer his eng agements, a nd claim his pri vile ges. The Lo rd's Supper he ac counte d part of his soul 's fo od: to whic h he labored to ke e p an appetite. He est eeme d it an ordina nce of neares t commu nion with Christ , and s o requiring mos t exact pr eparation . His first car e was i n the examinatio n of him self: yet a s an act of of fice o r charity, he had a n ey e on others.
He endeavored to have the scandalous cast out of commu n i o n : but he cast not out himself, because the scandalo u s w e r e suffered by the negligence of others. He condem ne d th a t s uperstition and vanity of Popish mock-fasts ; ye t negl ec te d not an occasion to humble his soul by r igh t fasting : H e a bhorred the popish doctrine of opus o pera tum in th e act ion . And in practice rested in no per forma nce, but w hat wa s do ne in spirit and truth. He tho ught G od had lef t a rul e in h is word for discipline, an d tha t aristocrati cal by e lders , not monarchical by bis hops , nor democratic al by th e peopl e. Right disciplin e he ju dged pertaining n ot to th e being , but to the wel l-bein g of a church. There fore he e steeme d those church es mos t pure where governmen t is by el ders, y et unchurc hed no t those where it was oth erwise. Per fectio n in chu rches h e thought a thing rathe r to be desire d, tha n hop ed for . And so he expected no t a church state w ithou t a ll defe cts. The corruptions tha t were in churche s he th o ught hi s duty to bewail, with en deavors of amendme nt : yet h e wo uld not separate, where h e might partake i n t he worshi p , and not in the corruption . He put not ho lines s in chu rche s, as in the temple of th e Jews; but c ounted t hem co nvenien t like their synagogues . He woul d have them k ep t decent, no t magnificent: knowin g tha t the gospel requ i res not outwar d pomp. His chief mu si c was singing of ps alm s wherein thoug h he neglected n o t the melody of the v oice , yet he chiefl y looked afte r th at of the heart. H e dislik ed such church m usic as m oved s ensual delight, a nd was a s hinderance to spi ritua l enlarg ements. He accou nted subje ction to the highe r p owers to b e part of pur e religion, a s well as to visi t t he fatherle ss and widow s: yet did he d istinguish bet ween au thority a nd lusts o f magistrates, t o that he sub mitted, bu t in the se he dur st not be a servan t of men , being bought w it h a price. J ust laws and command s h e willingly obeyed n o t only for f ear but for conscien c e also; but such as wer e u njust h e refused to observe , cho osing rather to obey G od th an m an; yet his refusa l was mod est and with submissi on to p e nalties, unless h e could proc ure indulgence fro m authorit y . He was caref ul in all relat ions to know, an d to duty , an d that wit h singleness of hea rt as unto Chri st. He a ccounte d reli gion an engagement t o duty, that th e best C hristian s sh ould be best husbands , best wives, be st pare nts, bes t c hildren, best masters, b est servants, b est ma gistrat es, bes t subjects, that the do ctrine of Go d migh t be ad orned, no t blasphemed. His famil y he endeavo rs t o mak e a church, bot h in regard of person s and exerci ses , ad mitting none into i t but such as feare d God; and l ab ori ng that those that wer e borne in it, migh t be born a g ai n unto God. He blessed hi s family morning an d eveni n g b y the word and prayer and too k care to perfor m thos e o r dinances in the best season. He b rought up his c hild r e n in the nurture and admonition of th e Lord and comm a n de d his servants to keep the way of the Lo rd. He s e t u p dis cipline in his family, as he desired it i n th e c hurch , no t only reproving but restraining vilenes s i n hi s. He w a s conscientious of equity as well as pie ty know i ng tha t u nrighteousness is abomination as wel l as ungodli n ess . He w as cautious in promising, but car eful in perfo rmin g , count ing his word no less engagemen t than his bon d. H e w as a ma n of tender heart, not onl y in regard of h is ow n sin , bu t others misery, not coun ting mercy arbitr ary, b ut a ne ces sary duty wherein as h e prayed for wisdo m to di rect him , s o he studied for ch eerfulness and boun ty to ac t. He wa s so ber in the use o f things of this lif e, rathe r beating d ow n the body, th an pampering it, ye t he denie d not himsel f t he use of G od's blessing, les t he should b e unthankful , bu t avoi d excess lest he shou ld be forgetfu l of the Donor . I n h is habit he avoided co stliness and va nity, neither ex c e eding his degree in civ ility, nor decli ning what suite d w i th Christianity, desi ring in all thing s to expres s gravit y . He own life he ac counted a warfare , wherei n Christ wa s hi s captain, his a rms, prayers, an d tears . The Cross hi s bann er, and his w ord, Vincit qui p atitu r.
He was immovable in all times, so that they who in t h e m i d st of many opinions have lost the view of true re li gio n , ma y return to him and find it.
Reader, seeing a passage in Mr. Tombes his book agai n s t p a edobaptism*; wherein he compares the Nonconformis t s i n En gl and to the Anabaptists in Germany in regar d o f thei r mis car riages and ill success in their endeav ors , till o f lat e yea rs; I was moved for the vindicatio n o f those fa ithfu l and r everend witnesses of Christ, t o pu blish thi s Charac ter; whe reof if any shall desire p roo f in matte r of fact , as in th e matter of right, th e Marg in contain s evidence , let him ei ther consult thei r writi ngs, or tho se who ar e fit witnesse s by reason o f age, fi delity and a cquaintanc e, having full y known th eir doctri ne, manner o f life, purp ose, faith, lon g-suff ering, love , patience, p ersecution an d affliction, et c . 2 Timothy 3 :10, 11. An d I doubt not bu t full testimon y w ill be give n that thei r aim and genera l course was a ccordin g to rul e: some extr avagance there b e in all pro fessions, b ut w e are to judg e of a professio n by the ru le they hold fo r th, and that c arriage of the pr ofessor s which is genera l a nd ordinary . FINIS.
* John Tombes was a prolific champion of Believer's Ba p t i s m during the third quarter of the 17th Century. O f a l l t h e men who have ever taken pen in hand to writ e on b ap tis m , Tombes has the largest number of publishe d pages . W riti n g as an Oxonian scholastical Puritan, To mbes bri ng s al l o f his scholarship to bear upon this on e issue : his toric ally , exegetically, and theologically . For tho se o f you fa milia r with the era, Henry Scudde r was Joh n Tombe s' father -in-la w.an settlers in the wil ds of Amer ica.
The facts given show the high standard he maintain e d i n h i s adopted home. With advantages of family and e du cati o n h e seems to have united a most liberal disrega r d of h i s ow n personal interests, to the advantage of t h e colon y , to wh ose service he devoted much of his lif e . The colo ni sts need ed just such men; and the many an d c onspicuou s tru sts place d in his hands show that he w as f aithful t o them.
He was a merchant nearly all his life, at times he m u s t h a ve been successful as numerous land transaction s a n d oth e r evidences indicate. But at his death, his e sta t e was ve r y small; he must have divided the most o f hi s pr operty am on g his children before his death, a s his c onvey ance to hi s s on Joseph would indicate. He d ied at t he hom e of his on ly d aughter. The only books me ntioned a mong hi s personal e ffect s, "a Bible in Qto" an d "Clark' s Martyro logie," ar e a comme ntary upon his lif e.
He lived in an age of wonderful changes, and his w a s a l o n g and eventful career. If it could be reviewe d b y us i n a l l its strong lights and shades, it would b e mo re inte rest in g than the most fascinating tale of fi ction.
He was the emigrant ancestor of all the Bartholome w s o f t h is family in the United States, and it is hope d t ha t know le dge of his force of character and sterlin g wor t h may enc our age some of his weaker descendants t o be mo r e worthy o f s o noble a sire.
Mrs. Anna is first mentioned in the records by tha t n a m e , in 1653, but was probably his only wife. She i s sup po s e d to have been the sister of Robert Lord,(*) a s th e lat te r , in a letter recorded, calls William Barth olome w, "br oth er ," and the relation could not have bee n throu gh Robe rt L ord 's wife, as the names and intermar riages o f her fa mil y ar e well known.
She may have also held that relation to Edward Bro w n o r h i s wife Faith, as Edward Brown in his will in 16 59 , al so m en tions his "brother Bartholomew."
William Bartholomew's house, in Ipswich, was between R o b e r t Lord's on the east and Edward Brown's on the west . b y th ei r descendants.

General Notes for Child Henry Scudder
Henry had a brother William Scudder, living in 159 4 w h e n h e made his will. It has been assumed that thi s wa s t h e Will iam, yeoman, of Darenth, Kent, whose wil l date d Ju l y 27, 16 07, proved November 4, 1607, was abs tracte d by W at ers. In i t, William named , wife Margery , daughte rs Parn ell , Margaret , Joan, and Mary, all evid ently unde r 21; de ceas ed brother s John and Henry; broth er Henry' s sons Henr y, Th omas, and J ohn, and brother Jo hn's son H enry. One pa rcel o f land, Pric les Mead, was t o revert t o his decease d brothe r John's so n Henry if al l four daug hters died wit hout lawf ul issue . A piece o f land of tha t same name wa s among th e bequest s made b y the Rev. Henr y Scudder in 16 52, but a s records su gges t that at leas t three of William 's daughte rs married a n d had children , it is not clear ho w Pricles M ead woul d hav e come to He nry had the terms o f William 's w ill b een prope rly obser ved. William of Dare nth in his wil l a sked to be bu ried i n the churchyard at D arenth "as ne a r as may be unto m y f ather's grave."
Henry and William were probably the sons of a John Sc u d d e r who was dead by October 18, 1584, when his wido w Ma rg ar e t deeded property at Sutton at Hone and Horto n Kirb y t o h e r son Henry Scudder, carpenter; William Sc udder s igne d t h e "final concord" with her on "eighth da y of St . Mart in " 2 8 Eli. [19 Nov. 1585|. No will or bur ial reco rd ha s bee n fo und for this John Scudder, and h e has no t yet be en cle arl y identified among all the pos sible me n of tha t name i n th e group of parishes in whic h Scudder s were li ving. H e may w ell be the father burie d at Daren th.
2. Henry must have been only in middle age at the t i m e o f h is death, for most of his children were stil l i n th ei r mino rity. Calling himself "Henry Skudder o f Hort on Ki rhb ie in t he county of Kent, yeoman," he req ueste d buria l i n the chur chyard at Horton and bequeathe d 40 s hilling s t o his poor ne ighbors of Horton to be di stribut ed at th e di scretion of th e minister and churc h wardens . In his w ill:
"unto my daughter Elizabeth one Angele to be delive r e d h e r presently after my decease... unto my daughte r Br id ge t fy ve pounds within two yeeres next after my decease... unt o A l i c e my daughter tenne pounds [at date of marriag e o r a t 2 0 ye ars of age]... unto Martha my daughter other tenne poun d e s t o b e paid unto her as to her sister Alice [margin a l no te ' whic h paid to her at her day of her marriage in hande'] ...unt o J a n e m y daughter [£ 10 on the same terms]. And yf y t so h ap pe n th at any of my said daughters Alice Jane and Martha shall depa r t e t h is liffe b[e]fore the tyme aforesaid wherein the y o ug h t t o receave their portions, then my will is that their said porti o n s s h all remayne to be equally devided amongst the m o r s o man y o f them which shalbe lyvinge then....yf yt so happen that a l l m y s a id daughters Jane Alice and Martha shall depar t e thi s lif f e before the tyme when their portions ought by this my will to b e p a i d t hem, then...their portions shall be equally dev ide d a mo ngs t my sonnes Henry, Thomas, and John...All residewe...unto El i z a b eth my wiffe, whom I do ordayne and make the sole E xe cu tr ix ..."
and it continues:
"to son Henry the mansion house wherein I nowe dwel l , w i t h all the tandem houses, and eddyfices whatsoeve r t here un to belonging, together with the house in the Chalkdale , a n d a l l theire appurtenances whatsoever excepting onl y o n e acr e a nd certain days worthe of land lying in my feeld calle d N o r t h Feeld which boundeth Joyce west. If Henry die d with o u t is sue the premises to go to son Thomas, and if Thomas died, to yo u n g e st son John; if all three sons died the daughter s t o di vi d e the property. To Thomas 'my other three tenementes' in Cha p p e l l Green in the parish of Horton including a hous e n o w i n th e tenure of Tymothy Skudder, another occupied by Michall Pickw e l l w i th an acre of land, lately bought of John Mayehe w e a n d a ho use in the occupation of Christopher Harris with one acr e o f l a n d adjoining the highway leading from Fawkham t o St . Ma r y Cr aye South, and the lands of Thomas Walter east, and the testator ' s l a n ds north and west. If Thomas died without heirs , Jo h n t o in herit, and if he also died, the property to go to the daughter s . T o s o n John a tenement and lands lately purchased o f F ranc is R ee ve, now in the tenure of Thomas Adames, together with an acr e i n h i s f ield called North Feeld. If John died, the pr oper t y t o go t o Thomas, and if he died, to son Henry, reverting to the daugh t e r s i f all the sons died without heirs. His wife Eliza be t h t o ha ve possession of all lands until the sons reached 18 on condition s h e b r i ng the children up or cause them to be 'decentl y an d or de rl y brought up according to law and consyence'. If his wife died bef o r e t h e sons reached 18, 'John Humfry, the elder, my br ot he r Wi ll iam Skudder, and Anthony [Comfot?] to have the use of th e l a n d s and children s portions for bringing them up."
Witnesses John Swarland, Vicar of Horton Kirbie, John F o s t e r, Christopher Hacock .
3. Henry's three sons may well be the same three who re c e i v ed Conditional bequests in the will of William Scud d e r o f D arenth in 1607, but their names, even in combin at io n we re t oo common to stand as conclusive proof of t h e rel ation ship.
