Lords. It was only a selection of the Priests with the highestordination that had their seats in this shining Congregation.The picture is in Journal, vol. VI, page 47.There are some important pictures from JohnWesley´ s life that ought to be included in this work even ifthis is not a biographical work of John Wesley and hisfamily, so can it be of interest to include some notes thatmay be can lead to that one will seek further in theliterature after more knowledge in the subject.TRADITION FROM THE FATHERSLet us start with Dr. Samuel Annesley, father ofSusanna Wesley. She was her fathers 25 th child, and theyoungest and last of his children. It was said that Dr.Annesley had received his appointment in St. Giles´,Crippelgate, through Oliver Cromwell, while other sourcessay that it was through Richard Cromwell. Dr. Annesleywas nephew to the “The Earl of Anglesea”. He wasbaptized at Hesseley near Warwik. One believes that hewas also born there. He was educated in Puritanism.He was ordered to be silent for ten years throughthe law of Restoration. In the year 1672, however, hereceived the permission to open a meetinghouse in Little St.Hellen´ s where he had a very important pastoral work.Dr. Annesley married twice. His first wife diedearly. His second marriage was with the daughter to thefamous lawyer John White. He was a member of “TheLong Parliament of 1640”, where he represented the districtof Southwork. This famous lawyer, who took part in theChurch fights at that time, was father to Susanna´ s mother.104
It is interesting to know that contemporary withthe lawyer John White was the rev. John White, who wasknown as the Patriarch of Dorchester. The Priests daughterbecame the mother to Samuel Wesley. The Priest JohnWhite and the lawyer John White were both members of“The Westminster Assembly of Divines”. It is remarkablethat both the mother of Samuel Wesley and to SusannaWesley had the same name, one was a lawyer and the otherwas a Priest. Both men were famous in their differentspecialities; the one in the Gospel and the other in law.They both had leading positions in society; the one in theChurch and the other in the service of the State. They wereboth firm in their religious principles.Dr. Samuel Annesley was driven to become a FreeChurch Minister. In his Chapel in Little St. Helen´ s thefirst Free Church Service of ordination was held after theRestoration. At this service seven young men wereordained Ministers for the service in the Church. Dr.Annesley, the Editor Matthew Sylvester and founder ofLibraries Dr. Williams took part in the ordination. It wasDr. Williams who gave the speech at the burial of Dr.Annesley, who died 1696 at the age of 76 years.THE FREE CHURCHTRADITION CONTINUESDr. Calamy was one of the seven candidates whowas ordained in Little St. Helen´ s. It is interesting to knowthat Daniel Defoe´ s both parents attended the meetings inthe Chapel. The author to the book about Robinson Crusoewrote afterwards about the Minister in the Chapel:105
