Mr. Ryland Sr., died July ‘24, 1792. Dr. Rippon preached his funeral
sermon, in which he says among the last things Mr. Ryland read,’ and with
which he was much pleased’ was his son’s circular letter to the
Northampton Association of that year. The subject of the letter was ‘Godly

blackened by an imputation so utterly out of keeping with the writings he
has left behind and with all family traditions of his sayings!’
