John Lothrop in 1610. At least three of his children were involved in the Separdist movement from the Church of England. In 1632 his son-in-law, Rev. John Lothrop, was arrested and put in prison  (2) along with John Howes' children, Samuel Howse and Peninah Howse.  (3) John Howse died 1 Sep 1630. (4)

The Reverend John Howes matriculated at St. John’s College, Cambridge in 1590. He is listed in the Alumni Cantabrigienes as such with the further note that he was rector at Eastwell, Kent in 1610. In the Bishop’s Transcripts for Canterbury he is also given as Curate for Egerton, 1592-6. From his location at the time of the baptism of his children, he is likely to have also been Curate for Eastwell from 1603 to his death in 1630. He performed the marriage ceremony for his daughter Hannah, in her marriage to Rev. John Lothrop [also Lothropp] in Eastwell, 16 October, 1610. In his will, dated 1630, he is described as Minister, Eastwell. In his will, his wife’s name is given as Alice.

Rev. John Howse passed away September 1, 1630 in Eastwell, Ashford Borough, County Kent, England and was buried on September 8, 1630 at the Kent and Sussex Cemetery and Crematorium in Royal Tunbridge Wells, Tunbridge Wells Borough, County Kent, England. He served as rector of the parish at Eastwell from 1603, until his death in 1630.

(2) Samuel House was imprisoned, along with 41 others in 1632 in London, as a result of which he was interrogated at a Court of High Commission (Ecclesiactical Division) on May 8, 1632, during which he testified that "I have served the King both by sea & by land, and I had been at sea if this restraint had not been made upon me. My conversation I thank God none can tax."

Now, hear the voices of Archbishop Laud, of Rev. John Lothrop and of the Howes and their friends from the Proceedings of the Court of the High Commision:

 

“ 5 May, 1632. This day were brought to the court out of prison diverse persons whixh were taken on Sunday last at a conventicler met at the House of Barnet, a brewer’s clerk, dwelling in the precinct of Black Friars: By name, John Lothrop, their Minister, Humphrey Barnard, Henry Dod, Samuel Eaton, William Granger, Sara Jones, Sara Jacob, Peninah Howes, Sara Barbon, Susan Wilson and diverse others”---

 

Sara Barbon “ I dare not swear, I do not understand it. I will tell the truth without swearing”

 

Then they were then all taken to the New Prison.

 

“8 May, 1632. Laud to Sara Jones—“ This you are commanded to do of God who says you must obey your superiors."  Sara Jones "That which is of God is according to God's word and the Lord will not hold him guiltless that takes His name in vain."

 

‘Lothrop. I do not know that that I have done anything which might cause me justly to be brought before the judgement seat of man, and for this oath, I do not know the nature of it”

 

Laud  "You are accused of Schism"

 

To Samuel Howes ‘Will you take your oath?’ Howes I am a young man and do not know what this oath is."

 

Peninah Howes is then asked to take the oath, but she refused. Laud “Will you trust Mr Lothrop and v\believe him rather than the Church of England?"’
