Edmund Calamj the elder i"- (for his son and grandson bore the same name, and bore it with distinction, )* was the minister of a church in Aldermanbury. He was unruffled by the storms around him ; sedate and calm ; yet his gentle manner was full of interest to his hearers. For twenty years he held a week-day lecture, and had a crowded congregation. It is a curious fact, and illustrates the times, that on these occasions seldom fewer than sixty coaches were counted at the door. These twenty year...s extended over a space in which England saAv more changes, in civil and religious politics, than at any other time in centuries. Yet his popula- rity continued. In the base and shameful times of Charles II, , "a lady of the court" was impeded in her way through Newgate-street by a throng of carriages. She was curious to learn the cause of the delay. It was neither a pageant nor an exe- cution. Eut one Dr. Calamy lay in Newgate for preaching a sermon, in which he had said " that the ark of God was lost, and the glory was de- parted from Israel.
