Robert Glen has identified the author of the Hymn printed on this plan as John Stamp, who appears as a local preacher on this plan. The same hymn can be found in The Christian’s Spiritual Song Book, 1845, pp. 26-7, under the title ‘Jubilee’ with Stamp as the author.
John Stamp later became a Primitive Methodist minister, and was expelled, before forming the short-lived Primitive Methodist New Connexion. He is a fascinating character and Robert Glen has just written a scholarly article about his life and published works. An article about his first wife, who appears on this plan as an exhorter ‘SS’ will be forthcoming in the Ranters Digest.
