| | Memoirs of the Puritans: Laurence Chadderton |
 | | He was brought up in the popish religion; and his father, intending him for the law, sent him to the inns of court; but he soon renounced the religion of his father, became a protestant, forsook the study of the law, and entered at Christ college, Cambridge, 1564. |
 | | But his father, indignant at his religious choice, not only refused him any support, but also disinherited him of considerable estates; and, as a farther demonstration of the strength of his resentment, sent him a pock, with a groat in it, that he might go abegging. |
 | | Chadderton was a decided puritan, though a man of great moderation. |
