Note 1. VIII. Henry Ainsworth.—This writer was one of the Non-conforming Clergy, who in 1604 left this country, and went to reside in Amsterdam. While there he wrote and published “The Booke of Psalmes: Englished both in prose and metre;” a copy of which is in the possession of the Editor. The version is accompanied with musical notes, and at the end there is a mass of learned annotations, which obtained the warm praise of Dr. Doddridge. Mr. Ainsworth died about 1623, leaving an “exemplary character for humility, sobriety, discretion, and unblameable virtue.” [back]
