Acuiious style of naming individuals was exceedingly common in the time of the civil wars. It was said that the genealogy of our Saviour might be learned from the names in Cromwell's regiments. The muster-master used no other list than the first chapter of Matthew.

A Jury was returned in the county of Sussex of the following names:

Accepted Trevor, of Horsham.

Redeemed Compton, of Battle.

Faint-not Hewet, of Heathfield.

Make-peace Heaton, of Hare.

God-reward Smart, of Fivehurst.

Stand-fast-on-high Stringer, of Crowhurst

Earth Adams, of Warbleton.

Called Lower, of Warbleton.

Kill-sin Pimple, of With am.

Return Spelman, of Watling.

Be-faithful Joiner, of Britling.

Fly-debate Robert, of Britling.

Fight-the-good-fight-of-faith White, of Emer.

More-fruit Fowler, of East Hadley.

Hope-for Bending, of East Hadley

Graceful Harding, of Lewes.

Weep-not Billings, of Lewes.

Meek Brewer, of Okeham. A noted character in those days was a divine of the name of Praise-God Barebone. He is little known as a divine, but is celebrated for having been an active member in Cromwell's parliament, and indeed for giving a name to it which is yet preserved in history. Praise-God Barebone had two brothers, namely, Christ-came-into-the-world-to-save Barebone, and If-Christ-had-not-died-thou-hadst-been-damned Barebone: some are said to have omitted the former part of the latter name, and to have called him only "Damned Barebone."
