Book excerpt: Excerpt from Or, a History of the English Church, Vol. 1 of 2: From the Conversion of the English Saxons Till the Death of King John Of the author of "Origines Anglicanae" there is no memoir published, or known to be extant, beyond the short account given by Anthony Wood in the Fasti Oxonienses and a note or two appended to that work by bishop White Kennett. But it has been ascertained, that he belonged to a family named Inette, of good position in Picardy, who, having embraced the doctrines of the Reformation, came over from France in the persecution of the Huguenots, and settled in Gloucestershire; that his grandfather, Richard, removed from that county into Worcestershire; and that his father, also named Richard, married a lady of the family of Hungerford of Down Ampney in Gloucestershire. This Mr. Richard Inett, the author's father, seems to have been a gentleman of independent though small fortune, but nothing more is known of him except the pains he took to give a good education to his two sons.
