Excerpt from Brief Memoirs of Nicholas Ferrar: Founder of a Protestant Religious Establishment at Little Huntingdonshire Dr. Francis Turner, formerly Bishop of Ely, the biographer of Mr. Nicholas Ferrar, was of opinion, that "his life was not only admirable but imitable - by the gentry especially - or by his fellow-citizens, who gain plentiful estates, and then retire into the country." He adds, in a preface intended to have been published with the Life of Ferrar: "If some things in this Life are rather to be admired than followed, I confess I had two ends in writing it: first, and especially, as an exemplary pattern of Christian economics, secondly, as an illustrious example of a more illuminate man in the Church of England than any, I believe, they can shew us in the Church of Rome, if they will tell us nothing but the honest truth, or any other sect whatever."
