* In a few of the early copies of the first volume, the authorship of this ninth sermon was erroneously attributed to the Rev. Christopher Nesse, principally (in the absence of more definite testimony) on account of some peculiarities perceptible in the style. But, soon afterwards, I discovered the author to be the Rev. Thomas Nest or Neast, of whom Anthony à Wood, in his Fasti Oxonienses, (col. 773, London, 1692,) gives the following account, under the enumeration of "Masters of Arts" admitted A. D. 1650:

"Jan. 14. Thomas Neast of New College. This person, who was originally of Jesus College in Cambridge, was lately made Fellow of New College by the Visitors, and afterwards by his Warden and Society presented to the rectory of Hardwick in Bucks Thence going to London, [he] lived, for some time after his Majesty's restoration, a Nonconformist, and preached in conventicles. Afterwards conforming, he became minister of St. Martin's church in Ironmonger-lane, and, a little before the grand conflagration, was presented to St. Stephen's church in Coleman-street, London. He hath extant Sermon on Eph. vi. 24, printed in the Morning Exercise at Cripplegate, &c., London, 1661, and perhaps other things."

I am inclined to think that this Thomas was a relation of Christopher Nesse, notwithstanding the slight discrepancy between the two names,-a variation not uncommon at that time even in members of the same family.-EDIT.
