categorically: I find no record at the Diocesan Registry of his having
been ordained at Bangor at all; the following entry in the parish
register of Llanfair shows that he was not in holy orders in July, 1704:
"Gulielmus filius Elizaei Wynne generosi de Las ynys et uxoris suis
baptizatus fuit quindecimo die Julii, 1704.--W. Wynne Rr., O. Edwards,
Rector." His first living was Llandanwg, and not Llanfair, to which he
was collated on January 1st, 1705. Moreover, the above-named Owen
Edwards was the rector of Llanfair until his death which took place in
1711. {0d} From that date on to 1734, the entries in the register at
Llanfair church are all in Ellis Wynne's handwriting; these facts prove
conclusively that it was in 1711 he became rector of the latter parish.

In 1710 he edited a new and revised edition of the Book of Common Prayer,
at the request of his patron, the Bishop of Hereford (Dr. Humphreys) and
the four Welsh bishops,--a clear proof of the confidence reposed in him
by the dignitaries of his church as a man of learning and undoubted
piety. He himself published nothing more, but A Short Commentary on the
Catechism and a few hymns and carols were written by him and published
posthumously by his son, Edward, being included in a volume of his own,
entitled Prif Addysc y Cristion, issued in 1755.

The latter part of his life is as completely obscure as the earlier; he
lapsed again into the silence from which he had only just emerged with
such signal success, and confined his efforts as a Christian worker
within the narrow limits of his own native parts, exercising,
doubtlessly, an influence for good upon his immediate neighbourhood
through force of character and noble personality, as upon his fellow-
countrymen at large by means of his published works. His wife died in
1720, and his son, Ellis, in 1732; two years later he himself died and
was buried under the communion table in Llanfair church, on the 17th day
