H. 'Briefes colected in our parish as folow.' The list of ' briefs ' and collections made in the parish is exceptionally long, and full of interest, especially the series for the relief of captives in the hands of the Algerine and Sallee pirates, who took many men out of western harbours in the reign of Charles I., and ravaged the coasts of Devon and Cornwall for several years during the earlier part of the 17th century. All the collections of a local character, with others of an exceptional nature, are cited. The book is signed in many instances by the recipients.
