Friti Renters Ut mine BRASIG, LINING AND MINING. BRAY 161 BREAKING A STICK ries Nicholas Nicklehj (1838). -C. Dickens, Nicho- Bray (Vicar of), supposed by some to beSimon Aleyn, who lived (says Fuller) inthe reigns of Henry VIII., Edward VI.,Mary, and Elizabeth. In the first tworeigns he was a protestant, in Marys reigna catholic, and in Elizabeths a, protestantagain. No matter who was king, SimonAleyn resolved to live and die the vicarof Bray (1540-1588). Others think the vicar was Simon Sym-onds, who (according to Ray) was an inde-pendent in the protectorate, a high church-man in the reign of Charles II., a papistunder James II., and a moderate churchmanin the reign of WiUiam III.
