but they have proved so bad that they are not worth naming ... they

one told me of the sad passage of Mr Clegge, preacher at Chapel Le
Brears, that he is a constant frequenter of the ale house close by
him, that a month ago, May 28th 1682, having done his service at
chapel in the forenoon, at noon some company fell a drinking, and he
was sadly drunk, yet he would needs go into the chapel and was helped
with much ado into the pulpit.
He spoke blasphemy, saying we have a merciless god.
Another time, being drunk, he fell in snow and had been lost but for
help.
The vicar saith not a word against this man, and it is vain to inform
against him
