Worcestershire's Rev. Dr. Thomas Hill (D.D.) was born of godly parents, who – following the custom of their forefathers – most solemnly dedicated him to God in his childhood. He was one of the chief pillars of Presbyterianism. Among his many works, were: An Apology in Defence of the Geneva Notes on the Bible (highly approved by the archpuritan Archbishop James Ussher); his Christian Sabbath Maintained; and his Annotations on the Pentateuch.
Staffordshire's famous Rev. Dr. John Lightfoot (D.D.) was raised as the second of five sons by his godly parents Rev. & Mrs. Thomas Lightfoot. From his earliest years, John was trained by his dedicated father and mother – as well as by eminent and pious teachers.
