John Wilson (Puritan)

(

)

... that Puritan Reverend John Wilson implored Mary Dyer (pictured) to repent and not be "carried away by deceit of the devil" before her execution in Boston as a Quaker martyr?

Reviewed: I spent a couple of hours reviewing St Mary's Church, Gosforth, and when I got to the edit page to make my comments, someone else's comments were already there, though these comments did not appear on the DYK page. So...I will take a pass on QPQ, since I've only done three DYK's in the past.

Date OK, length easily exceeded, hook OK and confirmed by online citaiton, image out of copyright. An excellent, well-referenced article. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 14:16, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the review! I was fascinated by your article as well, and the mind-boggling antiquity of some of the things present in your every day lives over there "across the pond."Sarnold17 (talk) 22:39, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
