recorded in the Historical Register during April 1737 is that of “James Barbon, Esq., Clerk of the Checque to his Majesty’s forty Messengers-in-Ordinary, aged near 100.”

Bassens.

In the Lord Mayor’s London List of Ministers, Strangers, in 1568, one of the comrades of the Hebrew Professor, Le Chevallier, might very probably have been one of the pasteurs of Caen, and may therefore be identified with one of the recipients of Mr. Robert Nowell’s bounty, whose surname is omitted in his account-book. The Lord Mayor calls him, “Vincent Bassens, Frenchman, minister of the gospel, and by that name put in exile by commandment of the French king.” The entry in the Spending of the Money is:—

To one vencentus, late minister of Cayne, the viij. of Martche Ao - 1573. . . . Xs.

Cisner.

The pasteur Christofle (i.e., Christopher) Cisner of the City of London French Church, was married in his own church in 1647 to Marie de Haze, by whom he had one daughter, Anna Maria. He married, secondly, on 13th April 1641, Hester (born 1620, died 1660), daughter of Pierre Du Quesne (son of Julien), by Ester de la Vincquière (daughter of Hubert), and by her had a daughter, Mary, born 1659. M. Cisner was pasteur during the Commonwealth along with Elie Delmé and Jean Baptiste Stouppe; he and Stouppe excommunicated Delmé in 1652 for differing from them regarding “holy days.” Delmé considered this deed invalid, and a controversy continued for many years; as to its merits and its termination I am not informed. Delmé died in the prime of life (date unknown); Stouppe became an officer in the French army. Cisner disappeared in 1660, when there was a clean sweep, and the commonwealth trio were replaced by Felles, Primerose, and Herault.
