He proceeded to his degrees of B.A. and M.A. He was ordained in holy orders; at a bound became a frequent and popular preacher, and many puns were made on his name.

With relation to Angel's suspension William Laud wrote in his ''Diary'': "In Lei ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
