one side, and two from the Church of Llandyfriog on the other. Theophilus Evans, however, does not seem to have entrusted the publication of any of his books to Carter.
On August 14th, 1722, he was instituted to the Vicarage of Llandyfriog, near Newcastle-Emlyn, in the county of Cardigan, and the same year, another translation by him, in a book of 134 pages 12mo., was published in Shrewsbury by John Rhydderch. It is entitled :
"Prydferthwch Sancteiddrwydd yn y Weddi Gyffredin: mewn Pedair Pregeth o waith y Parchedig Tho. Bisse, D.D., a Chyfieithad Theophilus Evans."[1]
In 1728, he resigned the living of Llandyfriog, and on April 1st, 1728, was instituted to the living of Llanynys, in Brecknockshire. With this he held, in 1733, and presumably from 1728, the chapelry of Ty'r Abad, or Llanddulas, in the same county, for in the Diocese Book already referred to we find the following interesting entry under the head of Llangamarch : "Near to Llangamarch is an hamlet called Tyr Abbot, in which is a chapel consecrated Aug. 26, 1726, built at the expense of Sackville Gwynne, Esq., who upon the Receiving £200 of the Governors of the Q's Bounty bound himself and his heirs to pay yearly to the Curate [now 1733 Mr. Theophilus Evans] named by Mr. Gwynne and his heirs £20. Prayers and Sermon in this chapel every Sunday morning inter horas 9 and 10." As Ty'r Abad, or Llanddulas, was many miles from Llanynys by the only road that seemed then available—that through Llangamarch—and a service had to be held every Sunday morning
