David Carnegie Andrew Agnew, Protestant Exiles from France… (1886)
“ Jacob Bourdillon (born 12th February 1704) is the connecting link between those children of the refugees whose recollections of “the noble army of martyrs” of France made them French in their sympathies, and those more remote descendants who had assumed the less modest assurance of a true-born Englishman. In 1731 he commenced a pastorate over a numerous flock of refugee birth, but his jubilee sermon was preached to a few people, and to empty pews. ”
