Notes
B&C’s date of “circa 1803” is in error here with the only sampler listed as “after 1800.” https://archive.org/details/bim_early-english-books-1641-1700_a-manual-of-prayers-for-_ken-thomas-bp_1695/page/n1/mode/2up?q=grave These verses did not appear in earlier versions of Bishop Thomas Ken’s Manual of Prayers.
