Bourne, Immanuel
, the son of a clergyman, was
born in Northamptonshire, Dec. 27, 1590, and was educated at Christ church, Oxford, where he took his master’s
degree in 1616. About that time he preached under Dr.
Piers, rector of St. Christopher’s, Threadneedle-street,
London, and was much encouraged in his studies and profession by sir Samuel Tryon, knt. and inhabitant of that
parish. In 1622, he got the living of Ashover, in Derbyshire, which he retained many years. During the rebel- 1 lion, he sided with the predominant party, and removed to
London, where he became preacher of St. Sepulchre’s,
and was much followed. In- 1656, he became rector of
Waltham in Leicestershire, and having conformed at the
| restoration, was instituted to the rectory of Ailston in the
same county. Wood says he was well acquainted with
the fathers and schoolmen. He died Dec. 27, 1672, and
was buried in the chancel of the church of Ailston. Besides
some occasional sermons, he published, 1. “A Light from
Christ, &c.” or a preparatory to the Sacrament, London,
1645, 8vo. 2. “Defence of Scriptures,” ibid. 1656, 4to.

Gold Links of love to preserve firm love between husband
