Gonzal es, one of the founders of The State, to mention one of the early figures.

And Did My Saviour Bleed A preacher's visit lasts 36 years The Lord Mayor was there. Like other elite members of London’s Mark Lane Church, his honor rarely missed a sermon by-the renowned Dr. Watts. Isaac Watts was young for the pulpit at Mark Lane. Thirty-two he was now, but he had been at the big church ever since he was 26. He was small. a five feet—and his big head made his small look even smaller and his long hook nose made his homely face even uglier He was sickly, too. Hardly had he seen a well day since smallpox nearly killed him when he was 15. At Mark Lane he rarely preached two Sundays in succession, but the congregation wouldn't let him quit They hired an assistant and told Dr Watts to preach when he felt like it • A few years after his Illness Watts was sought out by a beautiful lady who fell in love with him ttirough his poetry. Her name was Elizabeth Singer and Watts fell hand over heels tn love with her. He proposed marriage, but Miss Singer shied away in disappointment and said she "admired the jewel but could never love the casket” Abandoning hope of marriage, the little man wrote ”How vain are all things here below . . . How false and yet how fair” Isaac Watts preached that Sunday tn 1712, but he didn't feel like it So the Lord Mayor and Lady Abney carried him out to their mansion in the country A week's rest they said, would do him good At the Abney home Watts fell in love again— with the three little daughters of hit hosts. He wrote verses for them about "the busy little bee* and dogs that "delight to bark and bite" and a cradle song that began. “Hush, my dear, lie still and slumber. Holy angels guard thy bed.” The Ab neys became so attached to their guest that they wouldn't let him leave. In 1720 Watts collected his Juvenile verse Into his classic “Divine and Moral Songs for Children.” The book sold 80.000 copies a year and six generations were raised on it Watts died, still a bachelor, at the Abney home In 1748— 36 years after going there for a week’s rest Perhaps the little man was thinking of his pock marked face and dwarf body when he wrote one of the greatest hymns that has ever been written ..
