 "The Fourth Classis comprised a group of eleven parishes at the northern end of London Bridge, with three additional parishes farther to the north.  With one or two exceptions, these were parishes of well-to-do tradesmen. Although few of them could boast of a large number of great merchants among their inhabitants, some of these parishes produced active and influential Oresbyterian civic leaders in Puritan London - such as james Bunce of St, Benet Gracechurch, John Bellamy of St. Michaell Cornhill, Edward Hooker of St. mary at Hill,  John Gase of St. Andrew Hubbard, Edward Bellamy of St. Magnus, Richard Hill and Thomas Manwaring of St. Dionis Backchurch, Tobias Lisle and John and Nehemiah Wallingham of St. Leonard eastcheap, and so forth."<ref>Dai Liu, ''Puritan London: a study of religion and society in the city parishes'' (London, 1986), p. 63</ref>
