TO THE

FOURTH VOLUME.

I CANNOT suffer this last portion of Anthony a Wood's laborious undertaking to
appear before the public, without offering, in my own person, as editor, a few words
of acknowledgment and apology : — of acknowledgment for the indulgent manner in
which the additional notes to the original work have been generally received ; and of
apology to the purchasers for the delay which has taken place in the publication of the
present volume.

Those persons who are conversant with literary undertakings, similar to this
Athene Oxonienses, will have no difficulty in ascribing the late appearance of this
volume to the laborious task of forming a general Index ; they will allow for the
length of time absolutely necessary to perfect so extensive, so troublesome, and yet
so indispensable a portion of the work ; and I may be permitted to hope, as I certainly
believe, that all who have occasion to refer to it, will find it at once so ample, and of
such important utility, as fully to compensate for any disappointment they may have
experienced from the delay.

An apparent incongruity will be discovered in the latter part of this fourth volume,
which requires some explanation. When I first came to the account given by Bishop
Tanner, from Wood's papers, of the writers living at the time of our author's death,
it was my intention to have added further particulars of their lives, with a continued
list of their publications ; and it will be seen that I proceeded upon this plan for
some few pages : it was then remarked to me, by a friend on whose judgment I place
implicit reliance, that, to preserve the unity of the work, the lives of those persons who
died after the year 1699, should be reserved for the new Athence, by which means the
original chronological arrangement would be fully and most properly adhered to.
To this proposition I at once acceded ; and the more readily, because I found, that
had I continued my additions, I must have extended the old work to Jive, instead
of four volumes, as originally proposed. The reader will therefore perceive that
tlie additional notices after col. 475 and 882, extend only to those persons whose

vi ADVERTISEMENT.

deaths occurred previously to I7OO : the others are reserved for the new portion of
the work, which will, by this arrangement, be uniform and continuous. In the mean
time the reader has a complete history of the Oxford writers for two centuries ; he
possesses every word contained in the two former editions of Wood's AtJiemv, with
some new lives, and a large number of additional notes and anecdotes ; together
with a reference (it is believed) to every name that occurs throughout the four
volumes.

I shall now naturally be expected to say something on the subject of the New
AtheruB; and it affords me the highest satisfaction to state, that by the liberal
conduct of the proprietors of the work, and their ready acquiescence in all my
wishes, I shall be enabled to prosecute this arduous undertaking without delay.
Although I have already made very considerable collections for this purpose, I am
not ignorant that a great deal remains to be done ; that it will require much time, and
no small labour, to render a work composed of such various materials, and derived
from such different sources, of general interest and utility. Nor is it so much with a
view to lighten my own labours, as to ensure accuracy, and increase the value of
what I shall offer to the public, that I again venture to solicit assistance, and request
communications, from such persons as are in possession of authentic documents
relative to our Oxford writers ; promising on my part, that I shall thankfully receive
their aid, and that I will use their information faithfully, and with all impartiality.

Nothing remains but that I should repeat my thanks for the valuable assistance I
have received from my literary friends throughout the progress of the work now
before the public. I am not conscious of having availed myself of any information
without acknowledging the obligation at the time ; but I cannot suffer this last volume
to appear without expressing how much I owe to Mr. Heber. I have to thank him
for the loan of two valuable copies of the old AtJmiw, with manuscript notes ; I have
to remind him of numerous acts of personal kindness and attention ; and although I
never can express what I feel for the repeated instances I have experienced of his
active friendship, yet it affords me some consolation, that I am enabled thus publicly
to assure him, I shall never forget them.

THE

HISTORY

OF THE

WRITERS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD,

FROM THE YEAR OF OUR LORD, 1500.

[681]

OHN DOBSON, a

minister's son, was
lx>rn in Warwick-
shire, became demy
of Magdalen college
about 1653, perpe-
tual fellow in 1662,
being then master of
arts and a most cele-
brated preacher; and
in the year after he
did repeat niemori-
ter, in Dominica in
Albis,thefourEaster
sermons to the wonder of the auditory, in the uni-
versity church of St. Mary's. In the month of
September the same year (1663) he was expelled
the university, for being author of a libel in vindi-
cation of doctor Thomas Pierce against doctor Henry
Yerbury ; st) that all the credit that he before had
gained by his preaching, was lost among some : but

being soon after restored, he continued in his college,
t(X)k the degree of bachelor of divinity, and after-
wards became rector of Cold Higham near to To-
ccster in Northamptonshire, and of Cors<-omb in
Dorsetshire, by the favour of sir William Farmorof
Easton Neston, sometime his pupil (if I mistake not)
in Magdalen college. He hath written,

Queries upon Queries : or Enauirics into Cer-
tain Queries upon Doctor Pierce'' s Sermon at White-
hall, February the first. Lond. 1663. in two sheets
in quarto.

Doctw Pierce his Preaching confuted by his
Practice. Sent in a Letter by N. G. to a Friend

in Ixjndon. This was printed in half a sheet in

quarto, [Bodl. 4to. Rawl. 128.] and was first pub-
lished in Oxon. the twenty eighth of August 1663.
It is written in prose and verse : the beginning of
the first is, ' Dear George, I send thee a copy of a
lampoon upon the president of Maudlin's,' &c. and
the bcginnmg of the other, which is the lampoon,
runs thus,

' Near to the ford, o'er which an ass
Or an ox at least did pass,'' &c.
About fight or ten days after was published in
Oxon, another libel entitled, Doctor Pierce his
Prcachinff exemplified in his Practice. Or, an Anti-
dote to tJie Poiion of a scurrilous Pamp/ijet sent Inj
N. G. to a Friend in iMmhn, &c. [Bodl. C. 13. 9.
Line] Which libel, though written by doctor
Pierce, yet Dobson t(X)k it upon liini, upon a close
inquisition after the author, to save tlie debtor:
wiicreujx)n the viccchaneellor by his Bannimiis
dated the tenth day of September 1663, stuck up in
public places in the university, did expel the said
[682] Dobson, and discupnmne for ever the Ixwkseller
calletl Edmund Thome living near the East-Gate
of Oxon, for selling the said lilx;! or libels. Our
author Dobson hath also publisli'd.

Sermon at the Funeral of the Lady Mary Far-
nior, Relict of Sir William Farmer Baronet, xvho
died at London tlie eighteenth of July 1670, and
was buried the Jifth of August Jbllmcing at Eastcm-
Neston in Northamptmmiire ; on 1 Thes. 4. 13.
London 1670. [Bodl. 4to. T. 43. Th.] He died
•681. in the beginning of the year sixteen hundred eighty
and one, out where he was buried, unless at Cors-
comb, I know not.

[Dobson died June 9, 1681, an. setatis suae xliii.
From his epitaph in MS. Loveday.]

TIMOTHY TAYLOR, son of Thomas Tay-
lor of Hempsted in Hertfordshire, was born in that
county, became a student in Queen's college 1626,
Wed seventeen years, took the degrees in arts, that
of master being compleated in 1634, (at which time
he was of St. Mary's nail) holy orders, and then be-
came vicar of Almeley in Herefordshire, where he
preached twice every Sunday ; but the chancellor of
the diocese commanding him to turn his afternoon's
sermon into a catechism lecture, he upon that occa-
sion settled himself to study the second command-
ment more elaborately and mdustriously than before
he had done, and so became dissatisfied concerning
episcopacy and the ceremonies of the church. After-
wards l)eing troubled in the bishops court for non-
conformity, he did by consent leave Almeley, and
Hved about three years in a small peculiar exempt
from episcopal jurisdiction called Longdon in Shrop-
shire ; where continuing till the rebellion began, he
sided witli the presbyterians, and afterwards with
the independents, anti became pastor to a congrega-
tional church at Duckenfield in Cheshire. Tnence
removing into Ireland about 1650, at which time he
took the engagement, he became minister of Carick-
fergus there, and much resorted to by presbyterians
and independents. After the restoration of his ma-
jesty king Charles the second, he was silenc'd, and
thel-eupon removJtig to his hired house called the
Grange near Carickfergus, carried on the trade of
preaching in private, whereby he gained a comfort-
able subsistence. In 1668 he removed to Dublin,

took charge of a church of dissenters there, as col-
league with Samuel Mather, and after his death
with Natiianiel Mather his brother, and eontinuefi
in that employment till his death. He hath written,

A Defence of sundry Positions and Scriptures
alledged, toju.st'ify the confrregatioual Way. Lon-
tlon 164.5. quarto. It contains about 130 pages.

Defence of sundry Positions and Sci-iptures Jbr
tlie congregational Way justified, the second Part.
London 1646. It contains about 46 pages. The "
running tide on the top of every leaf is Congrega-
tional Way justified. In the comjwsition of both
which books he had the joint help of Sam. Eaton of
Cheshire. Soon after was published by a presbyte-
rian minister called Richard HoHingworth of Man-
chester in Lancashire, a book entit. Certain Queries
propounded to such as affect the congregational
Way. and esjjecially to Mr. Samuel Eaton, and
Mr. Timothy Taylor, &c. Lond. 1646. quarto.
What other things our author Taylor hath pub-
lished, I know not, nor any thing else of him, only
that he died of a lethargy on the thirty first of May
in sixteen hundred eighty and one, and that he was
buried on tlie third of June following in the church
of St. Michan in Oxmantowne near to Dublin.

GEORGE NEWTON, a minister's son, was
born in Devonshire, entred a batler of Exeter col-
lege in Michaelmas term 1617, aged sixteen years
or thereabouts, took the degrees in arts, that of
master being compleated in 1624, entred into holy
orders, became minister of Hill-Bishops near Taun-
ton, and in April 1631 was made vicar of Taunton
St. Magdalen, by the presentation of sir William
Portman baronet, and Robert Hill gent. After his
settlement in that vicaridge, he behaved himself con-
formable for a time ; but upon the breaking out of
the rebellion, he sided witti the presbyterians, having
always been puritannically ed ucated, preached against
the king, and his followers, when Taunton was gar-
rison'd for the parliament, and became a mighty
man in that interest, and much followed and adored
by factious people. In 1654, he was by ordinance
appointed one of the assistants to the commissioners
for the ejecting of such whom the godly party called
scandalous, ignorant and insufficient ministers and
schoolmasters ; in which employment he sufficiently
gave an helping hand to the undoitig of many loyal
persons ; and afterwards by his ana the preaching
of other presbyterians and independents (who ridi-
culously make preaching only their religion) the
said town of Taunton became the most factious

I)laceinall the nation. In 1662, about St. Bartho-
onicw's day, he was deprived of his vicaridge for
nonconformity, and for the present that place was
supplied by Mr. Thomas James fellow of All-soules
college in Oxon, much frequented by the loyal
party there, and by the gentry adjoyning. After-
warcis our author Newton preaching in several con-
venticles very seditiously, he was seised on, im-

GEORGE WHARTON, descended from an
antient and genteel family living in Westmorland,
richly possessed with lands and inheritances therein,
■was born at Kirby-Kendal in that county the fourth
of April 1617, spent some time in the condition of a
sojourner in Oxon. 1633, and after, but his natural
[6841 S^'^y *•" astronomy and mathematics was so predo-
' minant, that little or nothing of logic and philosophy
could take place in him. Afterwards he retired to
his patrimony, prosecuted his genius (which was as-
sisted by William Milbourne curate at Bransepeth
near Durham) and by the name of George Naworth
(Wharton) of West-Awckland published almanacks:
•But being soon discontented at the then growing
rebellion, he turned all his inheritance into money,
espoused his majesty's cause and interest, and raised
a gallant tr(X)p of horse therewitli. After several

frenerous liazards of iiis person in battle, he was at
ast, " on or alwut March the twenty first 1645,"
totally routed by the rebellious party near Stow on
the Would in Glocestershire, wliere tlie noble and
valiant sir Jacob Astley was taken prisoner, and
himself received several scars of honour, which he
carried to his grave. Afterwards he retired to Oxon,
tiie then seat of his majesty, and had, in rccompencc

of liis losses, conferred upon him an employment
under sir John Heydim tnen lieutenant general of
the ordnance, which was to receive, ana pay off,
money for the service of the magazine an(^ artillery ;
at which time Edward Sherburne gentleman (after-
wards a knight) was commissary general of the .said
artillery. It was then, that at leisure hours, he fol-
lowed his studies, was esteemed a member of Queen's
college, being entretl among the students there, and
might, with other officers, have had the degree of
master of arts confer'd on him by the members of
the venerable convocation, but he neglected it.
After the surrender of the garrison of Oxon, at
wliich time the king's cause did dayly decline, our
author Wharton was put to his shifts, and lived as
opportunity served, went to the great city, lived as
privately as he could, and wrote several small things
tor a liveiyhood. But they giving offence to the
great men then in power,' he was several times seized
on, and imprison'a, as in the Gate-house at West-
minster, in Newgate, and at length in Windsor
Castle : At which time being threatned with greater
punishment, he found William Lilly, his anti^onist,
a friend. After his majesty's restoration he liecame
treasurer and pay-master to the office of his ma-
jesty's ordnance, repaid Lilly his curtesy, gained so
well by his employment, that purchasing an estate,
he was, in consideration of his former sufferings
under, and for, king Charles the first, and for par-
ticular services to king Charles the second, created
a baronet, by patent dated the thirty first of Decem-
ber 1677 ; which honour, his son sir Polycarpus
Wliarton now enjoys. Sir George was always es-
teemed the best astrologer that wrote the epheme-
rides of his time, and went beyond William LiUy,
and John Booker, the idols of the vulgar, was a
constant and thropac'd loyallist, a boon companion,
a witty droll and waggish poet. He hath written,
Hemeroscopions, or Almanacks from 1640 to

1666. Printed aU in octavo. The six first came

out under the name of George Naworth, and there-
fore by Lilly usually called Noworth. The rest
(that for 1646 being, as it seems, omitted) came
partly out under the name of captain George Whar-
ton, and partly under George Wharton esq;. ' In
that Almanack which he published in 1644, he
began to fill the blank leaves of the respective
months with chronological notes; which continuing
so (now and then interruptedly) till 1657, he then
put them at the end of every Almanack, under the

' [A" 1647, 25 Sept. Ordered, that it be referred to the
committee of the militia to examine and find out who were

manack (Sfc. by Captn. Geo. Wharton, Student in Astro-
nomy ; the other, Betlum Hibernicule, &c. and iliat they

taken from the first part of Tlie Histmy of Indepen-

was addinl a second century, by the same author
Wharton, printctl on one side of a sheet of paper,
the same year, and subscrilied M. El. i. e. Mercu-
rius Elencticus. The reader is to note, that in 1657,
and 58, came out Tivo Narratives of tlie late Par-

^c. with the Account of the Places of Projit, Sala-
ries and Advantages which they hold and receive

under the present Power, &c. Printed in quarto,

but by wliom they were written I know not.
Sure It is that the author 1x)rrows several things
from the said Histoiy of Independency, and the
sdd List, or Two Centuries ; and from them all

[)ut together, doth borrow the author of another
)ook entit. The Mystery of the good old Cause,
briefly unfolded in a Catalogue of such Members
of the late Long Parliament that held Offices both
Civil and Military, he. Lond. 1660. octavo. Who
the author of this Mystery was, I cannot yet tell :
Sure it is, if sir WiUiam Dugdale told me right,
that Clement Spelman,' who was cursitor baron,
published about the same time a Character of the
Oliverians, on one side of a sheet ; which Clement
(after he had written and published a large preface
to his father's (sir Henry Spelman) book, De non
temerandis Eccle,siis, and some other little things (as
I suppose) he concluded his last day in June (after [686]
Whitsontide) an. 1679: whereupon his body was
buried in St. Dunstan's church in Fleetstreet Lon-
don. George Wharton hath also written,

in which he became eminent.' Our author Whar-

' Accidentally I spoke with Mr. Gadbury, who is ex-
tremely incenst against you. He tells me what you haue
vrrote, and I am sorry for it, for he was civil to you, and is
'an ingeniose loyall person. He sayes that you have printed
lyes concerning him, and he wonders you should meddle
with him, having never been of the university.' Original
Letter from Aubrey to fVood, dated Aug. 20, iCgS, among
Tanner's collections in the Bodleian library. No. 45 I .

' I wonder at nothing more then y' Mr. Gadbury should
take it amiss of those things y' I say of him, for whereas y«
geoerality of scholars did formerly take him to have been
bred an academian because he was twice at Oxon. and so
consequently not to be much admir'd, now their eyes beinge
opened and knowing y' his eJication hath been mechanical,
they esteem him a prodigie of parts, and therefore are much
desirous y' his picture may hang in the public gallery at y«
schooles. Pray recommend me to him, and desire him, y' if
I speake any things y' are untrue, he may rectifie them : put
them intoy' hands and to be sent to me.

Samuel Frankland, l)ecame scholar of St. John's
college, an. 1655, afterwards fellow and bachelor of
arts ; but upon the restoration of king Charles the
second, being ejected, to make room for one who
had been expell'd by the visitors in 1648, he retired
to a market-town in Oxfordshire commonly called
Bister; where living a moderate nonconformist,
read academical learning to young men, and some-
times preached in private, whereby he got a com-
fortable subsistence. Upon the issuing out of his
majesty's declaration for the toleration of religion,
dated the fifteenth of March 1671 , this Mr. Trough-
ton was one of those four (Dr. Henry Langley, and rflQ«i
Thomas Gilbert, and Henry Cornish, bachelors of 1"°']
divinity, being the other three) who were appointed
by the principal heatls of the brethren to carry on
the work of preaching within the city of Oxon.
The place where they held their meetings was in
Thamestreet, without the north-gate, in an house
which had been built, a little before the civil war
began, by Thomas Pun, alias Thomas Aires;
where each person endeavouring to shew his parts,
this our author Troughton was by the auditory of
scholars (who came among them meerly out or no-
velty) held the best, and was by them most ap-
C lauded. The truth is, though the man had been
lind, occasion'd by the small pox, ever since he was
four years old, yet he was a good school divine and
metaphysician, and was much commended while he
was in the university for his disputations. He was
not of so busy, turbulent, and furious a spirit, as
those of his persuasion commonly are, but very mo-
derate : And although he often preached as occasions
offer'd themselves in prohibited assemblies, yet he
did not make it his business by employing all the
little tricks and artifices, too frequently practised by
other hot-headed zealots of his fraternity, viz. by
vilifying and railing at the established ordinances of
the church, libelling the conformable ministry, by
keeping their meetings at the very time when the
services and administrations of the church are regu-
larly performing, &c. He did not, I say, by these
and such hke most unwarrantable contrivances en-
deavour to withdraw weaker persons from the sacred
bosom of the church, in order to fix and herd them
in associated defying conventicles. He was respected
by, and maintained an amicable corresjwndence
with, some of the conformable clergy, because of his
great knowledge and moderation. He hath written
and pubhshed,

scholar, had good education, and would argue nota-

bly in defence of some tenets he held in op)X)sition
to certain ceremonies and disci})line in the episco|jacy.
The king usually after meals would walk lor near
an hour, and take many turns in the j)resence-cham-
ber; and when he found the chaplain there, he
would ploasurably enter into disputation with him,
and the chaplain would be very earnest in defence of
his opinion. The king never checked him for his
confiaence, but allowea him his liberty, and would
be very pleasant and merry with him. The king
being a goo<l logician, and well read in history and
matters of controversy, gained ground of his opjx)-
nent, and would please himself with one passage
which happened, and that was this. During their
discourse, the chaplain then standing at the end of
the presence-chamber, between a lieutenant of the
garrison (who had a sword in his hand, and was
earnestly listning to what the king said in the de-
bate) and a gentleman who was not known there,
the king in the heat of his discourse, suddenly dis-
armed the lieutenant by taking the sword out of his
hand, which made him look strangely, and the more
when his majesty drew it, for that put the chaplain
into a fright also, he not imagining the reason, until
the stranger (better understanding the king's mean-
ing) fell upon his knees, and the king laying the
naked sword upon his shoulder, confer^d upon him
the honour of knighthood, telling him withal, it was
to perform a promise to his relations. This stranger's
name was John Duncomb of Battlesdon in Bedford-
shire esq; who was afterwards a servant to king
Charles the second,"' sworn a member of his privy
council the twenty second of May 1667, being tlien,
or alx)ut that time, one of the commissioners of his
majesty's treasurj-, and at length, upon the resigna-
tion of sir Anthony Ashley Cooper, chancellor and
under-treasurer of the Exchequer, about the twen-
tieth of November 1672. As for the chaplain
Troughton, though Thomas Herbert, then one of
the grooms of his majesty's bedchamber (from whom
I had this story) could not tell me his Christian
name, yet I take it to be William, and to be the
same William Troughton, who afterwards was be-
neficed in Salisbury in the time of Oliver, silenc'd
for nonconformity after his majesty's restoration,
lived there several years after keeping his conventi-
cles, as he did afterwards at Bristol, and now, if
living, in or near London, where we shall leave him
for the present, till an opportunity may be had to
make farther mention of him.

Ralph Gibbes, was Iwrn at Hunnington in War-

and talcing tiie degree of" bach, of arts in the latter
end of 1622, was chosen probationer-fellow of Mer-
ton coll. two years after; where going thro' the
severe exercise then used, (since, especially after the
restoration of king Charles II. much decayed) he
l)ecame a noted disputant, orator and quaint preacher.
In Apr. 1638 he was presented by the warden and
fellows of his coll. to tne rectory of Gamlinghay in
Cambridgeshire, and thereupon leaving the house
he setled there, without hopes of being translated to
another place. At length being involved in great
troubles for his loyalty, he resigned that rectory in
1 647 to prevent sequestration, retired to Canterbury
and taught a private school there with good success.
After the blessed time of his majesty's restoration,
he was made parson of Stanford-Rivers in Essex,'
which he enjoyed 21 years, prebendary of West-
minster, which he kept 19 years, and doctor of div.
by creation of this university. He hath written and
published.

before they were finished, he paid his last debt to
nature; which hapning at Stanford-Rivers on the
16th of Sept. in sixteen hundred eighty and one,
was buried in the church there, leaving then behind
him the character of a loyal and religious person,
and of a charitable and a good neighbour.

RICHARD ALLEIN, son of Rich. All. rector
of Dicheat or Dichet in Somersetshire, was born
there, entred a commoner of S. Alb. hall in Mich.

of arts, went to New inn, being puritanically af-

termination, as a member thereof, but continued
there, in the study of the supreme faculty, till after
he was master of arts. At length taking holy orders,
he assisted his father, and became a frequent
preacher in his own country. In the middle of
March 1641, at which time he shew'd himself a
zealous jierson for the blessed cause then driving on,
he became rector of Batcomb in the same county, in
the place of Rich. Bernard deceased (who had held
that rectory from Novemb. 1613 to that time)
where, being setled, he became a preacher up of
sedition, a zealous covenantcer, (and therefore se-

THOMAS HERBERT son of Christop. Her-
bert, son of Thomas Herbert sometime alderman of
the city of York, descended (being a younger bro-
ther) from sir Rich. Herbert of Colebroke in Mon-
mouthshire, knight, was born in Yorkshire, jjarti-
cularly, as I conceive, within the city of York, ad-
mitted commoner of Jesus coll. in 1621, under the
tuition of Mr. Jenkin Lloyd his kinsman ; but be-
fore he took a degree, his uncle called Dr. Ambr.
Aikroyd fellow of Trin. coll. in Cambr. brother to
his mother Jane (dau. of Jo. Aikroyd of Folker-
thorpe in Yorkshire) invited him to that house,
where his continuance being short, he went thence
to London to wait upon that most noble count Wil-
liam earl of Pembroke, who owning him for his
kinsman and intending his advancement, he sent
him to travel in 1626, with allowance to defray his
charges. So that spending some years in travelling
into Africa and Asia the great, he did at his return
wtut on the said noble count ; who inviting him to
dinner the next day at Baynard's Castle in London,
died suddenly that night, whereby his expectation
of prefennent from him being frustrated, he left
England a second time and visited several parts of
Europe. After his return he married, and selling
in his native country, delighted himself more with
the converse of the muses, than in the rude and
brutish pleasures which most gentlemen follow. In

the time of the rebellion he adhered to the cause of
the parliament, and by the endeavours of Philip
earl of Pembroke, he "became not only one of the
commissioners of parliament to reside in the army of
sir Thomas Fairfax, but also a commissioner to
treat with those of the king's side for the surrender
of Oxford garrison. Afterwards he attended the
said count, espettially at that time (in Jan. 1646) [691]
when he with other commissioners were sent from
the parliament to the king at Newcastle to treat
about peace, and bring him nearer to London.
When his majesty came thence and was setled at
Holdenby in Northamptonshire, jealousies increased
which begat fears ; against which there was then no
fence. The commissioners, pursuant to instructions,
addressed themselves all together, on a certain time,
unto the king, and acquainted him therewith, and
humbly prayed his majesty to dismiss such of his
servants as were there, and had waited upon him at
Oxon. This their application was in no wise
pleasing to the king, he having had long experience
of the loyalty and good affection of those his ser-
vants, as it appeared by his countenance, and the
pause he made, e're he gave the commissioners any
answer. Howbeit, after some expostulation and
deliberation, he condescended to what they proposed,
they not opjK>sing the continuance of Mr. Jam.
Maxwell, and Mr. Patr. Maule their attendance
upon his royal person, as grooms of his majesty's
bedchamber, in which place they had several years
served the king. Next day his majesty's servants
came, as at other times, into the presence chamber,
where all dinner time they waited ; but after his
majesty rose from dinner, he acquainted them with
what had passed 'twixt him and the commissioners,
and thereupon they all knelt and kissed his ma-
jesty's hand, and with great expressions of grief for
their dismiss, they poured forth their prayers for
his majesty's freedom and preservation, and so left
Holdenby. All that afternoon the king withdrew
himself into his bedchamber, having given orders
that none should interrupt him in his privacy. Soon
after this, his majesty purposing to send a message
to the parliament ; he, after dinner, called Philip
earl of Pembroke to him and told him that he
would have Mr. Herbert come into liis chamber,
which the earl acquainting the commissioners with,
Mr. Tho. Herbert, our author, was brought into
the bedchamber by Mr. Maxwell, and ujxm his
knees desired to know the king's pleasure : He told
him he would send a message to the parliament, and
having none there that he usually employed, and
unwilling it should go under his own hand, called
him for that purpose. Mr. Herbert having writ as
his majesty dictated, was enjoyn'd secrecy, and not
to communicate it to any, until made public by both
houses, if by them held meet; which he carefully
observed. This errand was, as I conceive, Ht.i
Majesty's Message for Peace, dated from Holdenby
12 May 1647. About a week after, the king was

[692]

pleased to tell the commissioners, that seeing that
Mr. Jam. Levingston, Hen. Moray," John Ash-
burnhani, and Will. Legge were ior the present
dismist, he had taken notice of Mr. Jam. Harring-
ton and Mr. Tiio. Herbert, who had followed the
court from Newcastle, and having received satis-
faction concerning their sobriety and education, he
was willing to receive them as grooms of his bed-
chamber, to wait ujxm hi.s person with Mr. Maule
and Mr. Maxwell ; which the commissioners ap-
proving, they were that night admitted, and by his
majesty instructed as to the duty and service he ex-
pected from them. So as they thenceforth attended
Iiis royal jK^rson, agreeable to that great trust, with
due observance and loyalty, and were by Maule
and Maxwell affectionately treated. Bemg thus
setlcd in that honourable office and in good esteem
with his maj. Mr. Herb, continued with him, when
all the rest of the chamber were removed, till his
majesty was, to the horror of all the world, brought
to the block. It was then that Mr. Herbert was
fully satisfied that the king was not the man that
the presbyterians, independents, and other factious
people (who obtained their ends by lies and slanders)
made him to be. He clearly found that he was no
papist, no obstinate person, no cruel or bloody man,
no false dealer, &c. but purely a man of God, which
made him in an high manner lament his untimely
death. His majesty tho' he found him to be pres-
byterianly affected, yet withal he found him very
observant and loving, and therefore intrusted him
with many matters of moment, among which was
his sending by him from the isle of Wight his gra-
cious message to the parliament, which in the even-
ing he gave sealed up to him (directed to the speaker
of the lord^s house) with a letter to his daughter the
princess Elizabeth, who was then at St. James's with
her governess. The wind was then averse, and
much ado Mr. Herbert had to cross the sea. But
no delay was suffered in regard the king had com-
manded him to hasten away, that his letters might
be delivered next day before the lords rose. When
he was landed at S. Hampton, he took post, and it
may not be forgotten, that at one stage the post-
master (a malevolent person) understanding from
whom the paccjuet came, and that it required ex-
traordinary s]»ed, he mounted him upon an horse
that hatl neither good eyes or feet, so as usually he
stumbled much, wliich, with deep ways and dark
weather, would have abated his hast and endanger
the rider : Yet so it fell out by good providence,
that the horse, albeit at full gallop most of that 12
miles riding, neither stumbled nor fell, at which the
people at the next stage admired. The king's pac-
quet was within the time limited dehvered to Wil-

to know of him whether ever the said king spoke in
his hearing, where he would have his body bestowed
in burial ; to which sir Tho. returning a large an-

being much taken with it, as containing many things
which he never heard of before, did desire him by

the same time, the author of this book, having oc-
casion to write to sir Thomas for information of
certain persons then, or about that time, attending
the king, he thereupon sent him several letters in
answer to his queries, with divers other matters by
way of digression : which letters contain, as it seems,
the cliief contents of Thren. Car. and are several
times quoted in this work. He also assisted the said

Bpcak of tliat kniglit in the Fasti, an. 1(>4!£. At
length this worthy jierson sir Thorn. Herlx-rt, who
was a great observer of men and things in his time,
died in his house at York on the first day ol" March
* >■ (S. David's day) in sixteen hundred eighty and one,
[698] aged 76 years,* and was buried in the church there
commonly called S. Crux or S. Cross, situated in
the street called Fossegate.' Over his grave was a
monument soon after erectetl, by his widow Eliza-
beth, daughter of sir Gervas Cutler of Stainlwrough
in Yorksh. knight, with a large inscription thereon.
Wherein we are Instructed that he took to his first
wife, Lucia daughter of sir Walt. Alexander servant
to king Charles I. by whom he had issue Philip,
Henry heir to his father, Montgomery, Thomas,
William, &c. This sir Thomas a little before his
death gave several MSS. to the public library at
Oxon, and others to that belonging to the cathedral
at York ; and in the Ashmolean musa?um there ai-e
certain collections of his, which he made from the
registers of the arclibishops of York, given there-
unto by sir W. Dugdale Knight. I find one Tho.
Herbert to be author of a poem entit. An Elegy

not to be the same with our author sir Thomas, nor

With the said letters which the author of these
Athen.« Oxon. received from sir Tho. Herbert, he
received from him an account of the last days of
king Charles I. of ever-blessed memory, with an
earnest desire, that if he should have any occasion
to make mention of that most pious and good king,
that he would by no means omit him for these
reasons. (1) Because in the said account there are
many things that have not been yet divulg'd. (2)
That he was grown old, and not in such a capacity
as he could wish to publish it, and (3) that if he
should leave it to his relations to do it, they, out of
ignorance or partiahty, may spoil it. Upon his de-
sire, and these reasons given, he did then promise
him to find some place to receive it in a work that
he was then consulting, which is this of the Athen.k
OxoNiENSEs. And this place, under Tho. Herbert

the author of that account, being most proper, as I
conceive., it shall be here set down.

How therefore tlie said king was taken out of the
Scots hands at Newcastle and tlicnce carried to Hol-
denby in Northamptonshire, and thence hurried away
to the army and to Hampton Court, and thence
frighted or jugled into the isle of Wight, and thence
hurried to Hurst castle and afterwards to Wind-
sor, I shall tell you hereafter in the Fasti following,
in tlie history or characters of those men, that 1
shall there mention, who were actors in those mat-
ters. When his miijesty was conveyed from Hurst
castle to that of Windsor and tliere for a time
settled, just before Christmas day, an. 1648, he
seemed to take more delight than in any place he
had l»een since his leaving Hampton-Court: For
there he had the liberty to walk when and where he
pleased within the castle, and on the large tarras
without, which Itxjks towards the coll. of Eaton,
and hath a deliglitful view of the river Thames, of
many pleasant hills and valleys, villages and fair
houses far and near : so as no place in this kingdom
may compare with it, save the little castle or lodge
in Greenwich park, which has the sight of the great
and noble city of London, the Thames, and ships of
great burden daily under sail passing to and fro,
with other things enumerated by John Barclay in
his Argents. The greatest part of the forenoon the
king spent in prayer and other exercises of piety ;
and part of the afternoon he apjxjinted for health by
recreating himself in walking, usually on the tarras
before-mentioned, the governor of the said castle

the most part in his company (for want of others)
to discourse with. None of the nobihty, and but
few of the gentry, were suffered to come into the
castle to see tlie king, save only upon the Sundays
to sermons in S. George's chappel, where the chaj>
lain to the governor or garrison preached. Colonel
WhitchaJt behaved himself nevertheless very civilly
towards the king, and his observance was taken no-
tice of by his majesty : The soldiers also there gave
no offence, either in language or behaviour, towards
him or any that serv'd him. WhUst his majesty
continued at Windsor, little passed worth the taking
[694] notice of, only (1) That one night as the king was
preparing to go to bed, he wound up both his
watches as his custom was, one being gold, the other
silver, and missing his diamond seal, a table that
had the king's arms cut with great curiosity, and
fixy to the gold watch by a gold chain, he could
not imagine when, or where, he dropt it, yet thought
he had it the day before when he looked upon his
watch, as he walked on the long tarras. At length
after Mr. Herbert had made great search for it in
the walks that his majesty frequented, but in vain ;
his majesty the next night discern'd it sparkling at
one end of his chamber by the help of tne charcole
fire, and the wax lights then burning in the said
chamber. (2) That on another night his majesty
appointed Mr. Herbert to come into liis bedchamber
an hour sooner than usual the next morning, but so

it haj)netl he overslept his time, and awakened not
till the king's silver Dell hastned him in. ' HerViert
(said the king) you liavc not observed the command
I gave last mght ;' and thereupon he acknowledged
his fault. ' Well (said the king) I will order you
for the future, you shall have a gold alarum-watch,
which as there may be cause, shall awake you:
write to the earl of Pembroke to send me such an
one presently.' He wrot^, and the earl immediately
sent to Edw. East his watchmaker in Fleetstreet
about it, of M'hich more will be said at his majesty's
coming to S. James's. (3) That on a third night
an accident hapncd which might have proved of ill
consequence, if God in his mercy had not prevented
it. Mr. Heibert lodged in a Uttle back room near
his majesty's bedchamber towards Eaton coll. It
had a back stair, which was at that time ram'd up
with earth to prevent any passage that way. In this
room he had a pallet, which, for that the weather
was very sharp, he laid somewhat too near the
chimney, near which were two bsuskets fiU'd with
charcoal for the use of his maj. bedchamber. While
Mr. Herbert was asleep, a basket took fire, either
from some sparkle from the charcoal in the chimney,
or some other way he knew not of, but the room
was soon hot, and the fire got to the pallet-bed,
which quickly rouzed Mr. Herbert out of^his sleep;
who thereupon ran to the king's bedchamber door,
and in a frightful manner with that noise awakened
the king. Those without, being soldiers, hearing
the king's chamber was on fire, desired entrance that
they might help to quench it, but through the good-
ness of God, those within, without other assistance,
did suppress it by stifling it with clothes, and con-
fining it to the chimney which was spacious. Mr.
Herbert did hutnbly beg his majesty's pardon for
the disturbance he gave, not knowing how to help
it, the king said he did but his duty.

Soon after the governor acquainted his majesty
that he was in few days to be removed thence to
Whitehall. To which his majesty made little or no
reply, seeming nothing so dehgqted with this re-
move, as he was with the former, viz. from Hur^
to Windsor Castles, and turning himself alK)ut said,
God is every where alike in wisdom, power and
goodness. Some information he had received, how
preposterously things went in both houses of par-
liament, and how that the officers of the army were
hatching a thing called ' The agreement of the
people,' designing thereby an alteration of the go-
vernment, and trial of his person by some way that
was extraordinary and linpresidentcd. So that im-
mediately he retired into his bedchamber, and was a
good while private in his addresses to God, ever
having recourse to him by prayer and meditation,
in what condition soever he was, as being the surest
way to find comfort.

* Til a f t''e IQ'Ao/'/V&rwar^* 1648) his ma-
January. First j^'X '^'"'^ coach near the Keep in
edii. Windsor Castle, at which time was

a guard all along of musciiiets and
pikes; hotli officers and soldiers expressing civility
[695] as he passed hy. At the great gate a party of horse
commanded by major Tho. Hairison was drawn up
into the market-place and Pescod-street end in the
town of Windsor, who followetl the coach, which
passed through Brainford, Hammersmith, and the
direct way to his majesty's house at St. James's
within the lilwrty of Westminster. His lodgings
there were furnished by Mr. Clem. Kinnerslie his
majesty's servant in the wardrobe, strict guards were
place<l, and none suft'er'd to attend in his majesty's
bed-chamber, only Mr. Tho. Herbert before-men-
tioned. His usual diet was kept up, and the gen-
tlemen that formerly waited were permitted to
perform their respective services in the presence,
where a state was placed, and for a few days all
things were with decency and honour observed. Sir
Fulk Grevill was cup-bearer, and gave it upon his
knee : Mr. Anthony Mildmay was carver : Captain
Preston was sometimes sewer and kept the robes :
Mr. Anstey was gent, usher : Capt. Burroughs, Mr.
Firebrass, Mr. Muschamp had their places : Capt.
John Joyner or Jeoner was cook, Mr. Babington
barber, Mr. Reading page of the back-stairs, and
some others also waited. The king's dishes were
brought up cover'd, the say was given, and all
things were performed with satisfaction in that
point. But to return a little, it is very well worth
the observation, that so soon as the king came into
his bed-chaml>er, before he either eat or drank, or
■discours'd with any, he went to prayer or to reading
in the liiBi.E.

Whilst he was in this sorrowful condition, none
of his nobility, chaplains, or counsellors, nor any of
his old attendants, had the liberty to repair to him
to converse about any matters ; yet he had private
notice that the house of commons in a resolve had
declared that by the laws of England it was treason
in the king to levy war against the parliament and
kingdom : which resolve, as he had farther been in-
formed, they sent up unto the lords for their con-
currence, wlio, as soon as they had heard it read,
rejected it, and after some debate did pass two
votes, &c. He had also information from private
hands of the late proceedings in the house of com-
mons, and of their violent secluding and seizure of
several memliers by force, by some eminent army
officers, under a notion of purging the house, as
also of their votes passed concerning him. By which
he was very apprehensive of their ill intentions to-
wards him and his government, and did believe that

his enemies aimed at his deposing, and confinement
in the Tower, or some such like j)lace, and that
they would seat his son the prince of Wales in his
throne, if he would accept of it, but as to the taking
away his life by tryal in any court of justice or sub
dio, in the face of "the people, he coulci not believe,
there being no such precedent, or mention in any of
our histones. 'Tis true his grandmother Mary
queen of Scots suffered under queen Elizabeth, but
in England she was no sovereign, but a subject to
law. And indeed some kings of England had been
lamentably murdered by ruffians in a clandestine
way, as the chronicles inform us, but the facts were
neither owned, nor approved of by any king. These
were his majesty's imaginations till he came unto his
tryal in Westm. hall, when then he alter'd his mind.
Nevertheless his faith overcoming his fear, he con-
tinued his accustomed prudence and patience (so as
no outward perturbation could be cliscerned) with
Christian fortitude, submitting to the gootl pleasure
of the Almighty, sometimes sighing, but never
breaking out mto passion, or uttering a reproachful
or revengeful word against any that were his adver-
saries, only saying, God forgive their impiety.

For about a fortnight after his majesty's coming
to St. James's house, he constantly dined in the
presence-chamber, and at meals was served after the
usual state, the carver, sewer, cup-bearer, and gent,
usher attending and doing their offices respectively.
His cup was given upon the knee, as were his co-
vered dishes, the say was given, and other accus-
tomed ceremonies of state observed, notwithstanding
this his dolorous condition, and the king was well
pleased with the observance afforded him. But
soon after the case was alter'd, for the officers of the
army being predominant, they gave order at a
council of war, that thenceforth all state, ceremony,
or accustomed respect unto his majesty at meals
should be forborn, and his menial servants, tho' few
in number, should be lessened. And accordingly
the king's meat was brought up by soldiers, the
dishes uncovered, no say, no cup upon the knee, or
other accustomed court-state was then observed,
which was an uncouth sight to the king, he then
saying, that the respect and honour denied him, no
sovereign prince ever wanted, nor yet subjects of
high degree according to ancient practice, and add-
ing. Is there any thing more contemptible than a
despised prince ? So that seeing things were so or-
dered, the best expedient he had to reconcile them,
was to contract his diet to a few dishes out of the
bill of fare, and to eat in private. His eating was
usually agreeable to his exercise, and his abstinence
was in no wse displeasing. His temperance pre-
served his health, especially in the two last years of
his life and reign, without any indisjiosition or re-
course to physic : So as in all probability, had not
his thread of life been immaturely cut, he might
have surpassed the age of any of his royal ancestors.

On Friday the 19th of Jan. his majesty was re-

moved from S. James's to Whitehall and lodged in
his bcd-<;hambcr. After which a guard of mus-
queteers were placed, and centinels set at the door
of his chamber. Thenceforth Mr. Herbert (who
constantly lay in the next room to the king, ac-
cording to the duty of his place) was ordered to
bring his pallet into his majesty's bed-chamber, to
the end that he might be nearer to his royal jierson,
and so accordingly he did rest every night after,
during his majesty's life, in the said bed-chamber
near the royal bed.

The next day, Jan. 20. the king was removed in
a sedan or close chair from Whitehall to sir Thoni.
.Cotton's house near the west end of Westminster-
hall. Guards were placed on both sides of King-
street, in the palace-yard, and Westminster-hall.
As his majesty was carried through the garden door
belonging to Whitehall (which is between the two
gates leading to King-street) none but Mr. Herbert
went bare by him, because no other of his majesty's
servants were permitted by the soldiers. At Cotton-
house there was a guard of partizans, coUonel
Francis Hacker sometimes, and col. Hercules Hunks
at other times commanding them. His majesty
being summoned by Hacker to go to the court then
sitting in Westminster-hall, where scrjeant John
Bradshaw was president,' and seated in a chair, and
about 72 persons, members of the house of com-
mons, officers of the army, and citizens of London
sate ujxm benches some degrees above one another,
as judges; Hacker, I say, by order of the court
(which was erected in the same place where the
judges of the king's-bcnch use to hear causes)
brought his majesty to a velvet chair opposite to the
president, at whicii time John Cook the solicitor-
general was placed on the king's right hand. I
shall pretermit the judges names, the formality of
the court, and the proceedings there by way of
charge, as also his majesty's replies, in regard all
those particulars have been published at large by
several writers. Nor indeed was much to be olv
served, seeing his majesty having heard the allega-
tions against him, would sometimes smile, but not
acknowledge their jurisdiction, or that by any known
law they had any authority to proceed m that man-
ner against the king, it being without example also :
whereujwn the court made no farther proceedings on
that day. Afterwards his majesty was conveyed to
CJotton-house, where sir Tho. Cotton the master
thereof and Mr. Kinncrslie of the wardrobe did
make the best accommodation they could in so short
a time in the king's chamber. The soldiers that
were ujwn the guard were in the very next chamber
to that of the king; which his majesty perceiving,
he commanded Mr. Herbert to bring his pallet and
place it on one side of the king's bed, which he did,
and there slept.

■ [Oct. 31, 1659, Mr. Jo. Bradshaw judg of the shcrives
court in Guildhall, who pronounced scnience of death upon
his sovereign, died. Mr. Ric. Smith's Obituary. Baker.]

Sunday the Slst of Jan. Dr. Will. Juxon the
good bishop of London had (as his majesty desired)
the liberty to attend the king, which was much to
his comfort, and (as he said) ' no small refreshing
to his spirit, esj)ecially in that his uncomfortable
condition.' The most part of that day was spent in
prayer and preaching to the king.

Monday 22 Jan. col. Hacker brought his majesty
the second time before the court then sitting, as for-
merly, in Westminster-hall. Now the more noble
the person is, the more heavy is the spectacle, and
inclines generous hearts to a .sympathy in his suffer-
ings. Here it was otherwise, for as soon as his ma^
jesty came into the hall, some soldiers made a
hideous cry for justice, justice ! some of the officers
joining with them : at which noise the king seemetl
somewhat abashed, but overcame it with patience.
Sure, to persecute a distressed soul, and to vex him
that is already woiinded at the heart, is the very
pitch of wickedness, yea the uttnost extremity malice
can do, or affliction suffer, as the learned bishop of
Winchester (Bilson) saith in one of his sermons
preached before queen Elizabeth upon Good-Friday,
which was here very applicable. As his majesty re-
turned from the hall to Cotton-house, a soldier that
was upon the guard said aloud as the king passed
by, ' God bless you, sir !' The king thank'd him,
but an uncivil officer struck him with his cane upon
the head, which his majesty observing said, ' The

Eunishment exceeded the offence.' Being come to
is apartment in Cotton-house, he immediately fell
upon his knees and went to prayer ; which being
done, he asked Mr. Herbert it he heard the cry of
the soldiers in Westminster-hall for justice ^ He an-
swer'd he did, and marvell'd much at it. So did
not I (said the king) for I am well assur'd the sol-
diers bare no malice towards me, the cry was, no
doubt, given by their officers, for whom the soldiers
would do the like if there were occasion. His ma^
jesty likewise demanded of him, how many there
were that sate in the Court, and who they were ? He
replied there were upward of threescore, some of
them members of the house of commons, others
commanders in the army, and others citizens of
London, some of whom he knew, but not all. The
king then said, he viewed all of them, but knew not
the faces of above eight, and those he named. The
names, tho' Mr. Herbert told me not, yet they were
generally supposed to be Thomas lord Grey of
Grobie, William L. Monson, sir Henry Mildmay,«
sir John Danvers, Oliver Cromwell who liad shew'd

8 [It was that very Mildmay, who having been knighted
by king Charles the first, made master of his jewel-house,
and distinguished by other envied marks of his favour, was
not yet afraid to imljrue his sacrilegious hands in the blood of
that his most gracious and munificent master, by an instance
of ingratitude, as well as impiety, monstrous beyond all ex-
ample. When Dr. Barwick was examined sir Henry Mild-
may was the person who cried out loudest for putting him to
the torture. See Life of Barwick, page 183 J

Tuesday Hii Jan. The king was the tJiird time
sunnioned, and, as ibrnierly, guarded to tlie court :
where, as at other times, he persisted in liis judg-
ment, that they hat! no legal jurisdicUon or authority
to proceed against him. Ufwn which Cook the so-
licitor hegan to offer some things to the president of
tlie court, but was gently interrupted by tlie king,
laying his staff upon the solicitor s arm ; the liead
of which being silver, hapned to fall off, which Mr.
Herbert (who, as his majesty apjx)inted, waited near
his chair) stooped to take it up, but falling on the
contrary side, to which he could not reach, the king
took it up himself. This was by some looked upon
as a bad omen. But whereas Mr. Herbert puts
this passage under the 22d of Jan. is a mistake, for
it hapned on the first day of the tryal when the
charge was read against the king. The court sate
but a little time that day, the king not varying from
his principle. At his going back to Cotton-house
there were many men and women crouded into the
passage behind tlie soldiers, who, as his majesty
pass''u, .said aloud, God almighty preserve your ma-
jesty ! for which the king returned them thanks.

Saturday ^7 Jan. The pre.sident came into the
hall and seated himself in his scarlet gown : where-
upon the king having quick notice of it, he forthwith
went, seated himself in his chair, and observing the
president in his red gown, did imagine by that sign
that it would be the last day of their sitting, and
tha-efore he earnestly pressa the court, that altho'
he would not acknowledge their jurisdiction for those
rea-sons lie had given, yet nevertheless he desired
that he might have a conference in the painted
chamber with a committee of lords and commons
before the court proceeded any farther : whereupon
the president and court arose and withdrew. In
whicri interval the king likewise retired to Cotton-
house, where he and Dr. Juxon were private near
16981 *" hour, and then colonel Hunks gave notice that
the court was sate. The king therefore going away,
he seated himself in the chair : The president told
his majesty that his motion for a conference with a
committee of lords and commons had been taken
into consideration, but would not be granted by the
court in regard he would not own their jurisdiction,
nor acknowledge them for a lawful assembly.
Whereupon the king with vehemency insisted that
bis -reasonable request might be granted, that what
he had to offer to a committee of either house might
be considered before they pronounced sentence. His
majesty had the former day mov'd tlie president
that the grounds and reasons he liad put in writing
for his disavowing their authority miglit be publicly
read by the clerk, but neither would that desire be
granted. The president then gave judgment against
the king, who, at the president's pronouncing it,
was observed to smile and lift up his eyes to heaven,

as appealing to tlie divine majesty the most supreme
judge. The king at the rising of the court was
with a guard of halbertliers returned to ^Vhitehall
in a cl»)se chair through King-street : Both sides
whereof had a guard of foot soldiers, who were silent
as his majesty passed, but shopstalls and windows
were full of j)eople, many of whom shed tears, and
some of them with audible voices prayed for the
king till he was carried through the privy garden
door to his bed-chamber ; whence after two hours
space he was removed to S. James's. Nothing of the
fear of death, or indignities offer'd, seem'd a terror
or provok'd him to impatience, nor uttered he a re-
proachful word reflecting upon any of his judges,
albeit he well knew that some of them were, or liad
been, his domestic servants; nor against any mem-
ber of the house, or officer of the army, so wonderful
was his patience, tlio' his spirit was great, and
might otherwise have express'd his resentment upon
several occasions. It was a true Christian fortitude
to have the mastery of his passion, and submission
to the will of God under such temptations. The
same night, after which sentence was pronounced,
coll. Hacker, who then commanded the guards at
S. James's about the king, would have placed two
musqueteers in the king's bed-chamber ; with which
his majesty being acquainted, he made no reply,
only gave a sigh. Howbeit the good bishop Dr.
Juxon and Mr. Herbert apprehending the horror of
it, and disturbance it would give to the king in
his meditations and preparation for hisi departure
out of this uncomfortable world, they never left the
coll. till he had reversed his order by withdrawing
those men, representing it as the most barbarous
thing in nature.

The king now bidding a farewel to the world, his
whole business was a serious preparation for death,
which opens the door unto eternity. In order
thereunto he laid aside all other thoughts, and spent
the remainder of his time in prayer and other pious
ejaculations and exercises of devotion, and in con-
ference with that meek and learned bishop before-
mentioned, who, under God, was a great support
and comfort to him in that his afflicted condition.
And resolving to sequester himself, so as he might
have no disturbance to his mind, nor interruption
to his meditations, he ordered Mr. Herbert to excuse
it to any that might have the desire to visit him. I
know (said the king) my nephew the prince elector
will endeavour it and some other lords that love me,
which I would take in good part, but my time is
short and precious, and I am desirous to improve it
the best T may in preparation : I hope they will not
take it ill, that they or any have not access unto me,
only my children : The best office they can do now,
is to pray for me. AVhat he had said, fell out ac-

leave, came to the bed-c-hatnl)er iloor, where Mr.
Herbert, pursuant to the king's coinniand, ac-
quainted liis higliness and the said noblemen witii
what the king gave him in cliargc, and thereupon
they acquiesced, and presented their humble duty
to liis majesty with their prayers : which done, tliey
returned with hearts full of sorrow, as appearetl by
[C99] tlieir faces. The prince of Wales also, then in
Holland, did by the states ambassadors intercede to
the parliament, and used all possible means to pre-
vent, or at least to defer, his majesty's execution,
and applyed themselves likewise to tlie army.

At tliis time (Jan. 30. Mr. Herbert .should have
said) came to S. James's Edm. Calamy, Rich. Vines,
Jos. Caryl, Will. Dell, and some other London
ministers, who presented their duty to the king,.
with Uieir humble desires to pray with him, and
perform other offices of service if his majesty would
please to accept of them. The king returned them
thanks for their love to his soul, hoping they and
all other good subjects would in their addresses to
God be mindful of him, but in regard he had made
choice of Dr. Juxon, whom for many years he had
known to be a pious and learned divine, and able to
administer ghostly comfort to liis soul, suitable to
his present condition, he would have none other.
The ministers were no sooner gone, but John Good-
win minister in Coleman-street came likewise upon
the same account to tender his service, whom the
king also thanked and dismist with the like friendly
answer.

Mr. Herbert about this time going to the Cockpit
near Whitehall, where the lodgings of Philip earl
of Pembroke were, he then, as at sundry times,
enquired how his majesty did, and gave his humble
duty to him, and withal asked if his majesty had
the gold watch he sent for, and how he" liked it.
Mr. Herbert assured his lordship the king had not
yet received it. The earl fell presently into a
passion, marvelfd thereat, and was troubled least
his majesty should think him careless in observing
his commands, and told Mr. Herbert that at the
king's coming to S. James's, he, as he was sitting
under the great elm tree near sir Ben. Rudyerd's
lodge in the park, seeing a considerable military
officer of the army going towards S. James's, he
went to meet him, and demanding of him if he
knew his cousin Tom Herbert that waited on the
king, the officer said he did, and was going to S.
James's. The earl then delivered to him the gold
watch that had the larum, desiring him to give it to
Mr. Herbert to present it to the king. The officer
promised the earl he would immediately do it. ' My
lord (said Mr. Herbert) I have sundry times seen
and pass'd by that officer since, and do assure your
lordsliip he liath not delivered it to me according to
your order and his promise, nor said any thing con-
cerning it, nor has the king it, I am certain.' The .
earl was very angry, and gave the officer his due
character, and threatned to question him. But such

was the severity of the times, that it wa.s judged
dangefous to reflect upon such a person, so as no
notice was taken of it. Nevertheless Mr. Herlxirt,
at the earl's desire, did acquaint his majesty th»T6-
with, who gave the earl thanks, juuj rjud, ' had he
not told tlie officer it was for me, lie would probably
have delivered it : he well knew how short a time I
should enjoy it.' This relation is in prosecution of
what IS formerly mentioned concerning tlie clock or
larum-watch which his majesty would liave to lay
by Mr. Herbert's nallet to'awaken him at tlie hour
m tlic morning wliich his majesty should appoint
when he was at Windsor. The name of this officer
Mr. Herbert told me not, only tliat he was executed
after the restoration of king Charles II. and there-
fore I take him to be either major Harrison or col.
Hacker.

That evening Mr. Hen. Seymour, a gent, be-
longing to the lied-chamber of the prince of Wales,
came by col. Hacker's permission (who commanded
the guards at S. James's) to his majesty's chamber
door, desiring to sjxjak with the king from the said
prince: and being admitted he presented to the
king a letter from him, dated from the Hague S3
Jan. 1648, old stile. At Mr. Seymc^ur's entrance
he fell into a passion, having seen his majesty in ^

florious, and now in a dolorous state : and having
iss'd the king's hand, he cla.sp'd about his legs and
mourned in a most lamentable condition. Hacker
came in with this gentleman, and beholding these
things was very much abash'd. But so soon as his
maj. had read his sons sorrowing letter, and heard
what his servant had to say, and he imparted to him
what his niaj. thought iit to return, the prince's
servant took his leave, and was no sooner gone but
the king went to his devotion, Dr. Juxon praying [7001
with him, and reading some select chapters out of
the sacred scripture. The same evenmg also the
king took, a ring from his finger, having an emerald
set therein between two diamonds, and gave it to
Mr. Herbert, and commanded him, as late as 'twas,
to go with it from S. James's to a lady « living then
in Canon-row on the back-side of King-street in
Westminster, and to give it to her without saying
any thing. The night was exceeding dark, ana
guards were set in several places, (as at the houses,
in the gardens, park, at the gates near Whitehall,
in King-street and elsewhere) nevertheless getting
the word from col. Matth. Tomlinson ' (then there,
and in all places wheresoever he was about the king
so civil both towards his majesty and sucli as at-
tended him, as gained him the king's gtxxl opinion,
and as an evidence thereof gave him his gold pick-
tooth case as he was one time walking in the pre-

scnce-flianiber) Mr. Herbert pass\l currently, tho'
in all places where sentinels were, he was biu stand
iill the corporal had the word from him. Being
come to the lady's house he delivered her the ring :
' Sir (said she) "give me leave to shew you the way
into the parlour :' where being seated, she desired
him to stay till she returned : in a little time after
she came and put. into his hands a little cabinet
closed with 3 seals, two of which were the king's
arms, and the third was the figure of a Roman :
which done, she desired him to deliver it to the
same band that sent the ring ; which ring was left
with her: and afterwards Mr. Herbert taking liis
leave, the word served him in his return to the
king, at which time he found that Dr. Juxon was
newly gone to his lodging in sir Hen. Henn's house
near S. James's rate. Mr. Herbert gave the cabinet
into the hands of his majesty, who told him that he
should sec it opened next morning.

Morning bemg come, the bishop was early with
the king, and after prayers his majesty broke the
seals and shew'd them what was contained in the
cabinet. There were diamonds and jewels, most

Sart broken Georges and Garters. You see (said
e) all the wealth now in my power to give to my
children. That day the bishop preached before the
king on Rom. 2. 16. In the Day when God shall
judge, &c. inferring from thence, that ' Altho' God's
judgments be for some time deferred, he will never-
theless proceed to a strict examination of what is
both said and done by every man. Yea the most
hidden things and imaginations of men will most
certainly be made to appear at the day of judgment,
when tlie Lord Jesus Christ shall be uyjon his high
tribunal,' &c. It may not be forgotten that sir Hen.
Herbert master of the revells, and gent, in ord. of
his maj. privy chamber (one that cordially loved
and honour'd the king, and during the war had
sufTer'd considerably in his estate by sequestration
and otherwise) meeting Mr. Tho. Herbert his kins-
man in S. James's park, first enquired how his ma-
jesty did, and afterwards presenting his duty to
him, with assurance that himself with many others
of his majesty's servants did frequently pray for
him, desir'd that his maj. would be pleased to read
the second chapter of Ecclesiasticus, for he should
find comfort in it, aptly suiting his present con-
dition. Atcordingly Mr. Herbert acquainted the
king therewith, who thanked sir Harry, and com-
mended him for his excellent parts, being a good
scholar, soldier, and an accomplish'd courtier, and
for his many years faithful service much valued by
the king, who presently turned to tliat chapter, and
read it with much satisfaction.

Monday Jan. 29. the princess Elizabeth and the
duke of Glocester her brother, came to take their
last farewel of the king their father, and to ask his
blessing. The princess lieing the elder was the
most sensible of lier royal father's condition, as ap-
peared by her sorrowful look and excessive weep-

ing. Her little brother the duke seeing his sister
weep, he ttxjk the like impression, tho' by reason
of his tender age, he could not have the lite appre-
hension. The king raised them both from oflf' their
knees, he kiss'd them, gave them his blessing, and
setting them on his knees, admonish'd them concern-
ing their duty and loyal observance to the queen
their mother, the prince that was his successor, love ,
to the duke of York and his other relations. The L'^l]
king then gave them all his jewels save the George
he wore, which was cut in an onyx with great
curiosity, and set about with 21 fair diamonds, and
the reverse set with the like number ; and then
again kissing his children had such pretty and per-
tinent answers from them both, as drew tears of
joy and love from his eyes. And then praying God
Almighty to bless them, he turned alwut, express-
ing a tender and fatherly affection. Most sorrow-
ful was this parting, and the young prime shed-
ding tears ana crying most lamentable, moved others
to pity that formerly were hard-hearted : And at
the opening the chamber door the king returned
hastily from the window, kissed them, blessed them
and so parted. This demonstration of a pious
affection exceedingly comforted the king in this his
affliction, so that m a grateful return, he M'ent
immediately to prayer, the good bishop and Mr.
Herbert being only present. That day the king
eat and drank very sparingly, most of it l)eing sjjent
in prayer and meciitation. It was some hours after
night e'er Dr. Juxon took leave of the king, who
willed him to be early with him the next morning.
After Dr. Juxon was gone to his lodgings, the king
continued reading and praying more tlian two hours.
The king commanded Mr. Herbert to lye by his
bed-side upon a pallet, where he took small rest,
that being the last night his gracious sovereign and
master enjoyed. But nevertheless the king, for four
hours or thereabout, slept soundly, and awaking
about two hours bef()re aay, he opened his curtain
to call Mr. Herbert (there being a great cake of wax
set in a silver bason tliat then, as at all other times,
burnt all night) and perceiving him to be disturb'd
in his sleep, called again and bid him ri.se, for said
his majesty, ' I will get up, having a great work to
do this day,' and then asking Herbert what troubled
him, he told his majesty he was dreaming : I
would know your dream said the king, which being
told, his majesty said it was remarkable.*

as may be, for before night I hojie to be espoused
to my blessed Jesus. He then appointed what
cloaths he woukl wear, Let me have a shirt more

so sharp, as probably may make me shake, which

Sir,

After his late majesty's remove frotn Windsor to St.
James's, albeit accor'ling to the iliuy of my place, 1 lay in
the next room to the bed-chamber, the king then commanded
me to bring my pallate into his chamber, which I accord-
ingly did, the night before that sorrowful day. He ordered
ivhat cloaths he would wear, intending that day to be as neat
as could be, it being (as he called it) his wedding-day. And
having a great worl< to do (meaning his preparation to eter-
nity) said. He would be stirring much earlier than he used.

for some hours liis majesty slept very soundly : for my
part, I was so full of anguish and grief, that 1 looli little
rest. The king, some hours before dav, drew his bed-
curtain to awaken me, and could by the light of wax-lau.p
perceive me troubled in my sleep ; the king rose forthwith,
and as I was making him ready, Herbert (said the king) I
would know why you were disquieted in your sleep? I
replied. May it please your majesty, I was in a dream.
What was your dream, said the king, I would hear it? May
It please vour majesty, said 1, 1 dreamed, that as you were
making ready, one knock'd at the bed-chamber door, wliieh
your majesty took no notice of, nor was I willing to acquaint
you with it, apprehending it miglit be colonel Hacker. But
knocking the second time, your majesty ask'd me, if I heard
it not ? Isaid I did ; but did not use to go without his order.
Why then go, know who it is, and his business. Whereupon
I opened the door, and perceived iliat it was the lord archbp.
of Cant. Dr/ Lawd in his pontifical habit, as worn at court;
I knew him, having seen him often. The archbp. desired
he might enter, having something to say to the king. I
acquainted your majesty with his desire; so you bad me let
hitn in ; being in, he made his obeysance to your maje.*ty in
the middle of the room, doing the like also when he came
near your person, and falling on his knees, your majesty
gave him your hand to kiss, and took him aside to the window,
where some discourse pass'd between your majesty and hiin,
and 1 kept a becoming distance, not hearing any thing that
was said, yet could perceive your majesty pensive by your
looks, and that the archbishop gave a sigh; who aftt r a
short stay, again kissing your hand, returned, but with face
all the way towards your majesty, and making his usual
reverences, the third being so submiss, as he fell prostrate on
his face on the ground, and I immediately slept to him to help
him up, which I was then acting, when your majesty saw me
troubled in my sleep. The impression was so lively, that I
look'd about, verily thinking it was no dream.

The king said, my dream was retnarkable, but he is dead ;
yet ha<l we conferred together during life, 'tis very likely
(albeit I loved him well) I should have said something to
him, might have occasioned his sigh.

Soon after I had told my dream. Dr. Juxon, then bishop
of London, came to the king, as I relate in that narrative I
sent sir William Dngdale, which I have a transcript ofhere,
nor know whether it rests with his grace the archbishop of
Cairt. or sir William, or be disposed of in sir John Cotton's
library neer Westminster-hall ; but wish you had the peru-
sal of it, before you return to the North. And this being
not communicated to any but your self, you may shew it to
his grace and none else, as you promised.
Sir,
Your very afTectioned friend and servant,

some observers will imagine proceecls from fear : I
woidd have no such in)putation, I fear not death,
death is not terrible to me, I bless God I am pre-
pared. I)eath indeetl only sets men free from the
misery of this woritl and breaks asunder the chains
of bondage, &c. These, or words to the same effect,
his maj. spake to Mr. Herlnirt as he was making
ready. Soon after came Dr. Juxon bi.sh. of Lon-
don precisely at the time his maj. the night before
had ap})ointed him. Mr. Herbert then fidling upon
his knees, he humbly iKJg'd his majesty's pardon if
he had at any time been negligent in his duty while
he had the honour to serve nim. The king then
gave him his hand to kiss, having the day before
been graciously pleased under his royal hand to give
him a certificate, expressing that the said Mr. Her-
bert was not im|)osed upon him, but by his maj.
made choice of to attend him in his be(f-chan)ber,
and had served him with faithfulness aiid loyal
affection. At the same time his maj. delivered to
him his Bible, in the margin whereof he had, with
his own hand, wrote many annotations and quota-
tions, and charged him to give it to the prince of
Wales so soon as he returned, repeating what he
had enjoyned the princess Elizabeth his daughter,
and that ' He the prince would be dutiful and mdul-
gent to the queen his mother (to whom his maj.
wrote two days before by Mr. Seymour) affectionate
to his brothers and sisters, who also were to be
observant and dutiful to him, their sovereign : And
forasmuch as from his heart he had forgiven his
enemies, and in perfect charity with all men would
leave this world, he advised the prince his son to
exceed in mercy, not in rigour, &c. And as to
episcopacy it was still his opinion that it is of apos-
tolic institution, and in this kingdom exercised from
the primitive times, and therein, as in all other his
affairs, he prayed God to vouchsafe, both in reference
to the church and state, a pious and discerning
spirit, &c. and that it was his last and earnest request
that the prince would read the Biiile, which in all
the time of his affliction had been his best instructor
and delight, and to meditate ujion what he read, as
also such other b(X)ks as might improve his know-
ledge,'' &c. He likewise commantled Mr. Herbert
to give his son the duke of York his large ring-
sundial of silver, a jewel his maj. much valued ; it
was invented and made by Rich. Delamaine a very
able mathematician, who projected it, and in a little
printed book did shew its excellent use in resolving
many questions in arithmetic and other rare ojiera-
tions' to be wrought by it in the mathematics. To
the princess Elizabeth he gave the Sermons of Dr.
Lane. Andreios sometime bishop of Winchester and
prelate of the Gaiter, Archb. Laud's Conference
behvecn him and Joh. Fisher the Jesuit, which book
(the king said) would ground her against popery,
and Mr. Hmkers Ecclesiastical Polity. He also
gave him a paper to be delivered to the said prin-
cess Elizabeth to be printed, in which his majesty

assertwl Rcffal Government to fuive a Divine Right,
with prtxit's out of sundry authors, civil and sacred.
To the duke ofGlocester he gave A'. James's Works
and Dr. Hammomrs Practical Catechism. lie gave
also to Mountaguc earl of Eindsey lord iiigh cham-
berlain, Cassandra ; and his gold watch to Mary
dutchcss of Richmond : All which, as opportunity
ser\etl, ^Ir. Herbert delivered. His maj. then bid
him withdraw, which being done, his mai. with the
bishop were in private together about an hour; and
then Mr. Herbert being call'd in, the bishop went
to prayer, and reatling the 27th chap, of the gospel
of S. Matthew, which relates to the passion of our
blessed Saviour, the king after the service was done,
asked the bishop ' If he had made choice of that
chapter, being so applicable to his present condition T
the bishop answcrea, ' May it please your majesty
it is the proper lesson for the day, as appears by the
kalendar.' Whereupon his maj. was much affected
with it, as so aptly serving a seasonable preparation
for his death that day. His maj. abandoned all
thoughts of earthly concerns, continued in prayer
and meditation, and concluded with a chearful sub-
mission to the will and pleasure of the almighty,
saying he was ready to resign himself into the
hands of Christ Jesus, and with the kingly prophet,
as 'tis expressed in the 31st Psal. ver. v. Into thy
hands, &c. Col. Francis Hacker then kn(x;ked
easily at the king's door, but Mr. Herbert being
withm, would not stir to ask who it was that knock'd :
At length the col. knocking the second time a little
louder, the king bade him go to the door, he guess'd
the business: So Mr. Herbert demanding where-
fore he knock'd, the col. said he would speak with
the king. The king said. Let him come in : The
col. in a trembling manner came near and told his
majesty, ' Sir it is time to go to Whitehall where
you may have some further time to rest.' The king
bad him go forth, and told him, I will come pre-
sently. Some time his majesty was private, and
afterwards taking the good bishop by the hand,
looking upon liim with a chearful countenance, said
Come let us go; and bidding Mr. Herbert take
with him the silver clock that hung by his bed-
side, said Open the door. Hacker has given us a
second warmng.

The king passed thro' the garden into the Park,
where making a stand, asked Mr. Herbert the hour
of the day, and taking the clock in his hand, and
looking u{wn it, gave it to him and said ' Keep this
in memory of me,' which Mr. Herbert kept to his
dying day. The Park had several companies of
foot drawn up, who made a guard on each side as
the king passed, and a guard of halbertiers in com-
pany went, some before, and others followed, the
king. The drums beat and the noise was so great,
as one could hardly hear what another sjwke. Ujx)n
the king's right hand wont the bishop, and on the
left col. Matthew Tomlinson, with whom his maj.
had some discourse by the way ; Mr. Herbert was

next behind the king, and after him the guards. In
this manner went the king thro" the Park, and
coming to the stairs leading into Whitehall, he
passeii along thro' the galleries to his bed-chamber ;
where after a little repose, the bishop went to prayer :
which being done, his maj. bid Mr. Herbert bring
him some bread and wine ; whicli being brought
the king broke the manchct and eat a mcnithful of
it, and drank a small glass full of claret, and then
was sometime in private with the bishop, expecting
when Hacker would the third and last time give
warning. In the mean time his maj. told Mr. Her-
bert what sattin cap he would use; which being
provided, Mr. Herbert, after prayer, addrest him-
self to the bishop, and told him the king had
orderetl him to have a white sattin night-cap ready,
but he being not able to endure the sight of the
violence that they would offer to the knig on the
scaffold, he could not be there to give it to the king
when he should call for it. The gotnl bishop bid
him then give him the cap, and that he should wait
at the end of the Banquetting-house near to the
.scaflbld to take care of the king's body, for (said he)
that and his interment will be our last office.
Colonel Hacker came soon after to the bed-chamber
door, and gave his last signal : The bishoj) and Mr.
Herbert weeping, they both fell upon their knees :
The king thereujxjn gave them his hand to kiss,
and help'd the bishop up, for he was aged. Col.
Hacker attending still at the chamber door, the
king took notice of it, and said Open the door and
bid Hacker go, he would follow him.

A guard was made all along the galleries, and
the Banquetting-house, but behind tlie soldiers,
abundance of men and women crowded in, tho' with
some ])eril to their persons, to behold the saddest
sight that England ever saw : And as his maj. pass-
ed by with a chearful look he heard them pray for
him : The soldiers did not rebuke any of them, for
by their silence and dejected faces they seemed
rather afflicted than insulting. There was a pas-
sage broke thro' the wall of the Banquetting-house,
by which the king passed unto the scaffold ; where,
after his maj. had spoken and declared publicly that
he died a Christian according to the profession of
the church of England (the contents of which have
been several times printed) the fatal stroke was
given by a disguis'd pcrs(m. Mr. Herbert during
this time was at the door leading to the scaffold
mucli lamenting, and the bishop coming from the
scaffold with tlic royal coi-ps, which was imme-
diately cofliii'd and covered with a velvet pall, he
and Mr. Herbert went with it to the back-stairs to
have it embalm'd ; and Mr. Herbert, after the body
had been deposited, meeting with the lord Fairfax
the general, that person asked him How the king
did .-* whereujwn Herbert being something astonished
at that question, told him the king was beheaded,
at which he seemed much sunjriz'd : Sec more in

among the creations of doctors of civil law, landor
the year 1649. The royal corps being enihalnied
and well coffin'd, and all afterwards wrapt uj) in
lead and covered with a new velvet pall, it was
removed to S. James's where wa.s great pressing by
all sorts of people to see the king, a doleful spec-
tacle, but few had leave to enter or behold it.

Where to bury the king was the last duty
remaining. By some historians 'tis said the king
spoke something to the bishop concerning his burial.
Mr. Herbert, both before and after the king's death,
■was frequently in the company with the bishop,
and affirmed that he never mentioned any thing to
him of the king's naming any place where he would
be buried : Nor did Mr. Herbert (who constantly
attended his majesty, and after his coming to Hurst
castle was the only person in his bed-chamber)
hear him at any time declare his mind concerning it.
Nor was it in his life-time a pro})er question for
either of them to ask, notwithstanding they had
oftentimes the oppwrtunity, especially when his
majesty was bequeathing to his royal children and
friends, what is formerly related. Nor did the
bishop declare any thing concerning the place to
Mr. Herbert, which doubtless he would upon Mr.
Herbert's pious care about it; which being duly
considered, they thought no place more fit to interr
the corps than in the chappel of king Hen. 7, at the
end of the church of Westm. abbey ; out of whose
loyns king Charles I. was lineally extracted, &c.
Whereupon Mr. Herbert made his application to
such as were then in power for leave to bury the
king's body in the said chappel among his ancestors,
but his request was denied for this reason that his
burying there would attract infinite numbers of all
sorts thither, to see where the king was buried ;
which, as the times then were, was judged unsafe
and inconvenient. Mr. Herbert acquainting the
bishop with this, they then resolved to bury the
king's body in the royal chappel of S. George
within the castle of Wmdsor, both in regard that
liis maj. was sovereign of the most noble order of
the Garter, and that several kings had been there
interr'd, namely king Hen. VI. king Ed. IV. and
king Hen. VIII, &c. Upon which consideration
Mr. Herbert made his second address to the com-
mittee of parliament, who, after some deliberation,
gave him an order hearing date the 6th of February
1648, authorizing him and Mr. Anthony Mildniay
to bury the king's body there, which the governor
was to observe.

Accordingly the corps was carried thither from
St. James's Feb. 7, in a hearse covered with black
velvet, drawn by six horses covered with black
cloth, in which were about a dozen gentlemen, most
of them being such that had waited upon his maj. at
Carisbrook castle and other places since his majesty's
going from Newcastle. Mr. Herbert shew'd the
governor, colonel Witchcot, the committee's order
for permitting Mr. Herbert and Mr. Mildmay to

bury him the late king in any place within Wind-
sor castle that they should think fit and meet. In
tile first |)lace, in order thereunto they carried the
king's body into the dean's house, which wa.s hung
with black, and after to his usual bed-chamber
within the palace. After which they went to S.
George's chappel to take a view thereof, and of the
most fit and honourable place for the royal corjis to
rest in. Having taken a view, they at first thought
that the tomWiouse built by card. Wolsey wouhi
be a fit place for his interment, but that place tho'
adjoyning, yet being not within the royal chappel
they waved it: For if king Hen. VIII. was bunwl
there (albeit to that day tlie particular place of his
burial was unknown to any) yet in regard his maj.
king Charles I. (who was a real defender of tlu;
faith, and as far from censuring any, as might be)
would upon occasional discourse express some dis-
like in king Henry's pr(x;eedings in misemploying
those vast revenues the suppressed abbeys, monas-
teries and other religious houses were endowed with,
and by demolishing those many beautiful and
stately structures, which both express'd the great-
ness of their founders and preserved the splendor of
the kingdom, which might at the reformation have
in some measure been kept up and converted to
sundry pious uses.

Upon consideration thereof those gentlemen de-
clined it, and pitch'd upon the vault where king
Edw. IV. had been interr'd, being on the north side
of the choir, near the altar, that Icing being one his
late majesty would oftentimes make honourable men-
tion of, and from whom his maj. was lineally pro-
pagated. That therefore induced Mr. Herbert to
give order to N. Harrison and Hen. Jackson to
have that vault opened, partly covered with a fair
large stone of touch, raised within the arch adjoyn-
ing, having a range of iron bars gilt, curiously cut
according to church work, &c. But as they were
about this work, some noblemen came thither,
namely the duke of Richmond, the marq. of Hert-
ford, the carl of Lindsey, and with them Ur. Juxon
bishop of London, who had license from the parlia-
ment to attend the king's body to his grave. Those
gentlemen therefore Herbert and Mildmay thinking
fit to submit and leave the choice of the place of
burial to those great persons, they in hke manner
viewed the tomb-house and the choir, and one of
the lords beating gently upon the pavement with
his stafJ", perceived a hollow sound, and thereupon
ordering the stones and earth to be removed, they
di.scovered a descent into a vault where two coffins
were laid near one another, the one very large of an
antique form, and the other little. These they sup-
posed to be the bodies of king Hen. VIII, and
queen Jane Seymour his third wife, as indeeil they
were. The velvet palls that covered their coffins
seemed fresh, tho' tney had lain there above 100
years.

of the choir, over agiiinst the eleventh stall ii|K)ii
the sovereign's side, they gave order to have the
king's name and year he died cut in lead ; which,
whust the work-men were alxiut, the lords went out
and gave Puddifant the sexton order to lock the
chappel door, and not suffer any to stay therein till
fartner notice. The sexton did his best to clear the
chappel, nevertheless Isaac the sexton's man siud
that a foot sokUer had hid himself, so as he was not
di.scenrd ; and being greedy of prey, crept into the
vault, and cut so nuich of the velvet pall that covered
the great botly, as he judged woultl hardly lie miss-
ed, and wimbled also a hole thro' the said coffin
that was largest, probably fancying that there was
something well worth his atlventure. The sexton at
his opening the door espied the sacrilegious person,
who being searched, a Iwne was found about him,
with which he said he would haft a knife. The

fovemour being therefore informed of, he gave him
is reward ; and the lords and others present were
convinc'd that a real body was in the said great
coffin, which some before had scrupled. The girdle
or circumscription of capital letters of lead put about
the king'scoffinhad only tliesc words Kikg Charles,

The king's body was then brought from his bed-
chamber down into S. George's hail ; whence, after
a little stay, it was with a slow and solemn pace
(much sorrow in most faces being then discernable)
carried by gentlemen of quality in mourning. The
noblemen in mourning also held up the pall, and
the governor with several gentlemen, officers and
attendants came after. It was then observed that
at such time as the king's body was brought out
from S. George's hall, the sky was serene and clear,
but presently it began to snow, and the snow fell so
fast, that by that time the corps came to the west
end of the royal chappel, tlie black velvet pall was
all white (the colour of innocency) being thick
covered over with snow. The body being by the
bearers set down near the place of burial, the bishop
of London stood ready with the service-book in his
hands to have performed his last duty to the king
his master, according to the order and form of
burial of the dead set forth in the Book of Common
Prayer; which the lords likewise desired, but it

would not Ik.' suff'er'd by col. Whitchcot the governor

April, MDCCCXIII. By Sir Henry Halford. Bart. F. H. S.

• It is stated by lord Clarendon, in his History of the
Tiebcliwn, that the body of king Charles I. though known to
be inleired in St. (jeoree's chapel at Windsor, could not be
found, « hen searched for there sonic years afierwanls. It
seems by the historian's acconnl, to have been the wish and
the intention of king Charles II. aficr his restoration, to take
up his father's corj.se, and to re-inier it in Westminster
abbey, with those royal honours which had been denied it
under the government of the regicides. The most careful
search was inade for the body bv several people, amongst
whom were some of those noble persons whose faithful
allachmeni had led them lo pay their last tribute of respect
to their unfortunate master, hyaltendinE; him to the grave.
Vet such had been the injury done to the chapel, such were
the mutilations it had undergone, during the period of the
usurpation, that no marks wer- left, by which the exact
place of burial of the king could be ascertained.

' There is some difficulty in reconciling this accotint with
the information vvhich has rciched us, since the death of lord
Clarendon, particularly with that of Mr. Ashmolc, and more
especially with that most iuttrosling narrative of Mr. Her-
bert given in the Alhence O.xonienscs. — The fact is, king
Charles I. was buried in the vault of king Henry VIII.
situated precisely where Mr. Herbert has described it; and
an accident has served to elucidate a point in history, which
the great authority of lord Clarendon had left in some
obscurity.

'On cmnpleating the mausoleum which his present majesty
had built in the lomb-house, as it is called, it was necessary
to form a passage to it from under the choir of St. George's
chapel. In constructing this passage, an aperture was made
accidentally in one of ilie walls of the vault of king Henry
VIII. through which the workmen were enabled to see, not
only the two coffins, which were supposed to contain the
bodies of king Henry Vlll, and (jncen Jane Seymour, but a
third also, covered with a black velvet pall, which, from
Mr. Herbert's narrative, niiglit fairly be presumed to hold
the remains of king Charles I.

'Op representing thccircumstanccio the Prince Regent, his
royal highness perceived at once, that a doubtful ijoint in
history might be cleared up by opening this vault; and
accordingly his rojal highness ordered an examination to be
made on the first convenient opportunity. This was done on
the 1 'of April last, in the presence of his royal highness
himself, accompanied by his royal highness the duke of Cum-
berland, count .Munster, the (lean of Windsor (Dr. Legge,
now bishop ofOxford,)Benjamin Charles Stevenson, esquire,
and sir Henry Halford.

' The vault is covered by an arch, half a brick in thickness,
is seven feet two inches in vvidtli, nine feet six inches in
length, and four feet ten inches in height, and is situated in
the centre of the choir, opposite the eleventh knight's stall,
on the sovereign's side.

tills narrative with the king''s own excellent expres-

Crowns and kingdoms are
not so valiifihle as my honour and reputation. Those

appearance of ever having been inclosed in wood, and bearing
an inscri|)ti()ii KING CHARLES, l6i8, in large legible
characters on a scroll ot' lead encircling il, immediately pre-
sented iiself to the view. A square opening was then made
in the upi er pan of the lid, of such dimensions as to admit
a clear insight into its contents. These were, an internal
wooden cofliii, very much decayed, and the body, carefully
wrapped up in cere cloth, into the folds of which a quantity
of unctuous or greasy matter, mixed with resin, os il seemed,
had been melted, so as to exclude, as eH'ectuully as possible,
the external air. The coffin was complelely full ; and from
the tenacity of the cere-cloth, great difficulty was experienced
in detaching it successfully from the parts which it enve-
loped. Wherever the uncdioii? matter had insinuated itself,
the separation of the cere cloth was easy ; and when it came
off, a correct impression of the features to which it had been
applied was ol)served in the unctuous substance. At length,
the whole face was disengaged from its covering. The com-
plexion of the skin of it was dark and discoloured. The
forehead and temples had lost little or nothing of their iinis-
cular substance ; the cartilage of the no^e w.is gone ; but the
left eye, in the first moment of exposure, was open and full,
though it vanished almost immediately : and the pointed
beard, so characteristic of the period of the reign of king
Charles, was perfect. The sliape of the face was a long
oval ; many of the lecth remained ; and the left ear, in con-
sequence of tlie interposition of ihc unctuous matter between
it and the cere-cloth, was found entire.

' It was difficult, at this moment, to withhold a declara-
tion, that notwithstanding its disfigurement, the countenance
did bear a strong resemblance to ihe coins, the busts, and
especially to the pictures of king Charles I. by Vandyke, by
which it had been made familiar to us. It is true, that the
mindsof the spectators of this interesting sight were well pre-
pared to receive this impression ; but it is also certain, that
such a facility of belief had been occasioned by the simpli-
city and truth of Mr. Herbert's n.irrative, every part of which
had been confirmed by the investigation, so far as it had
advanced : and it will not be denied that the shape of the
face, the forehead, an eye and the beard, are the most im-
portant features by which resemblance is determined.

' When the head had been entirely disengaged from the
attachments which confined it, it was I'ound to be loose, and,
without any difficulty, was taken up and held to view. It
was quite wet, and gave a greenish red tinge to paper and to
linncn, which touched it. The bark part of the scalp was
entirely perfect, and had a remarkably fresh appearance ; the
pores of the skin being more distinct, as they usually are
when soaked ill moisture; and the tendons and ligaments of
the neck were of considerable substance and firmness. The
hair was thick at the back part of the head, and, in ap-
pearance, nearly black. A portion of it, which has since
been cleaned and dried, is of a beautiful dark brown colour.
TJKit of the beard was a redder brown On the back part of
the head, it was not more than an inch in lengih, and had pro-
bably been cut so short for the convenience of the executioner,
or perhaps by the pietv of friends soon after death, in order
to furnish memorials of the nnliappy king.

' On holding up the head, to examine the place of separa-
tion from the body, the mnsdes of the neck had evidently
retracted themselves considerably; and ihe fourth cervical
vertebra was found to be cut through its substance, trans-
versely, leaving the surfaces of the divided portions perfectly
smooth and even, an appearance whicli could have been pro-
duced only by a heavy blow, iiiflicted with a very sharp instru-
ment, and which furnished the last proof wanting to identify
king Charles the first.

' After this examination of the head, which served every
purpose in view, and without examining the body below the

must have a perioti with my lite, but these survive
to a glorious kind of immortality when I am dead
and gone; a giKxl name being the embalming of
princes and a sweet consecrating of them to an eter-
nity of love and gratitude amongst posterity.

MARTIN LLEWELLIN, Lluellyn or

seventh son, without anv daughter between, of
Mart. Lluellyn, was born m London on the 12th of
DecemK 1616, and on the 22d of the said month
was baptized in the church of Little S. Bartholomew
near Smithfield. In 1636 he was elected a student
of Ch. Ch. from Westm. school, tcx)k the degrees in
arts, that of master being compleatcd in l643, at
which time he bore arms for his majesty, and was
at length a captain. In 1648 he was ejected by the
visitors appointed by parliament ; so that afterward
going to the great city, he prosecuted then his
genius as much to physic, as before he had to
poetry. In 1653 he obtained the favour of the men
in power, then in the university, to be admitted
doctor of physic, and so consequently took the oaths
that were then required, and afterwards became fel-
low of the coll. of physicians. In 1660 lie was
sworn physician to his majesty, at that time newly
return'd to his kingdoms, and in the same year he
was not only made principal of the hall of S. Mary
the Virgin, but one of the commissioners apix>intea
by the king for regulating the university of Oxon,
in which office he shew'd nimself active enough. In
1664 he left the university, and setling with his

neck, il was immediately restored to its situation, the coffin
was soldered up again, and the vault closed.']

Enough for spring, but for a winter more.
In peace he did direct his thoughts on warres.
And learn't in silence how to combat jarres.
And though the times look't smooth, and would allow
No Iracke of frowne or wrincle in their brow.
Yet his quicke sight perceiv'd the aae would lowr.

THOMAS CASE, son of George Case .vicar of
Boxley in Kent, was Ixirn in that county, became
student of Ch. Cli. upon the recommendations of
Tob. Matthew archb. of York, in the year 1616,
aged 17 years or thereabout, took the degrees in
arts, holy orders, preaclied for some time ni these
[707] parts, and afterwards in Kent, at, or near, the place
of his nativity.' At the turn of the times in 1641,
he closed with them, and being schismatically ad-
dicted, he became an enemy to the bishops and
Uturgy, a great boutifieu and firebrand m the
church, a leader and abettor of the pretended re-
formation, and what not, to vent his spleen, to be-
come popular in the city of London, and so conse-
quently to get preferment and wealth, which before
he wanted, and therefore discontented. About the
same time he was minister * of S. Mary Magd. Ch.
in Milk-street in London, upon the sequestration
thence of a loyalist, where it was usual with him at
his invitation of the people to the Lord's table for
the receiving of the sacrament to say ' ' You that
have freely and liberally contributed to the parlia-
ment for the defence of God's cause and the gospel,
draw near,' instead of ' You that do truly and
earnestly repent,'' &c. To the rest he threatned
damnation, as coming unwillingly to the holy sacra-
ment. In 164'3, he, as a grand lover of the cause,
was made by ordinance of parliament one of the
assembly of divines, being then, as before and after,
a frefiuent preacher before the members of the said

f)arliamcnt, and about that time the Thursday's
ecturer at S. Martin's in the Fields. He was so
zealous a covenanteer also, that he published a ser-
mon about the solemn league and covenant, advised
all to take it, and was angry with those that did
not, tho' they understood it not. He was, during
the war (as most of the bretliren were) a common
preacher of rebellion. At length he, and they,
being cozened of their king, and the designs they
had upon him, by the independents, he became
a bitter enemy to that party, plotted with Love,
Jenkins, &c. and with the Scots, to bring in his son
king Charles II. an. 1651, Case being about that
time minister of S. Giles's in the Fields near Lon-
don ; but their plot being discovered, and Love the

Corypheus suffering for the rest, our author Case,
with his brethren that were in the conspiracy, made '
a petition to Oliver by way of acknowledgment and
submission for what they had done. In the year

Ohver, but was rejected; yet when the presbyte-

after laid aside, he himself, upon the coming out of

their |X)wer and accepting of, by way of creation,
the degree of bach, of the civ. law. Whether he
afterwards took orders from a bishop, I know not :
sure I am, that he being a well gifted brother for
praying and preaching, he was some years after
mafle minister of Margaret Moses in Friday-street
within the city of London, where continuing till
after his majesty's restoration, was ejected for non-
conformity, an. 1662. He hath written,

HENRY MUNDAY, " son of Henry Mun-
day," was born in a market town called Henley in
Oxfordshire, became one of the portionists of Mer-
ton coll. in the beginning of the rebellion, took one
degree in arts, in 1647, and kept pace with the in-
terrupted times to enjoy some petit employment. In
1656, May 20, he was elected master of the free

grammar school at Henley before-mention'd, which
eing well endowed and replenish'd with scholars,
was very beneficial to him. At length following
the practice of physic, it feO to decay, and had not
death prevented justice, he would have been ejected.
He hath written and published,

a fall from his horse, in his return to Henley from
the house of John lord Lovelace at Hurley, on the
28th of June in sixteen hundred eighty and two,
aged about 58 years; and the next day his Ixidy
was buried in the north chancel of the church at
Henley. In the said school succeeded Dan. Ashford
M. A. and vice-pr. of Hart hall (sometime of Wadh.

flourish.

PHILIP HUNTON, son of Ph. Hunton of
Andover in Hampshire, was born in that county,
became either batler or servitour of Wadham coll.
in Lent term 1622, of which house he was after-

entring into the sacred function, he became succes-

sively schoolmaster of Aburie in Wilts, minister of
Devises, afterwards of Hatchbury, and in fine of
Westbury in the said county; and as minister of
the last place, he was appointed an assistant to the
commissioners of Wilts, for the ejecting of such
whom the presbyterians, independents and other
factious people called scandalous, ignorant and in-
sufficient ministers and sch<x}lmasters, an. 1654. In
the beginning of the year 1657 he was appointed the
first provost of the new college at Durham * erected
by Oliver the protector ; which, with the academy
there, being soon after dissolved, he retired to West-
bury, and continued at that place till 1662, at
which time being ejected for nonconformity, held
notwithstanding afterwards conventicles in the plates
where he lived. He hath written,

was, as I conceive, educated in Trin. coll. in Cam-

factious party endeavoured to carry on their de-

England is in the three estates, viz. king, lords and

having some years before married a widow with a
good joynturc, which maintained him, and kept up

THOMAS JONES, son of John Williams, was
born, and brought up in juvenile learning, at Os-
westrie in Shropshire, entred into Jesus coll. in the
beginning of the grand rebellion, left it soon after,
returned when Oxford garrison was surrendred for
the u.se of the pari. an. 164^, became fellow of Univ.
coll. by the authority of the visitors appointed by
the said parliament, m 1648, to whom he then sub-
mitted and acknowlede'd die use of tlie covenant,
and in the year foUowmg he took a degree in arts,
being at that time and after a zealous person for
carrying on the righteous cause. In lo52, being
then master of his faculty, he wrote Vita Edxeardi
Sinuoni S. T. D. ex ipsiuJi Autograplw excerpta,
which is set before the said Simson's Chronkoii Ca-
tfiolkum, printed at Oxon 1652. fol. [Bodl. A. 1.8.
Med. Scld.] and in 1654 he took holy orders, as "'tis
said, from a bishop. About that time he became
[711] rector of Castle in Montgomeryshire in the dioc. of
S. Asaph, and learned the Welsh tongue, purposely
to serve those parts, when the orthodox clergy were
miserably consumed by an act of propagation. From
that place being ejected, upon one Wynn's discovery
of a dormant title, he removed to the service of the
lord president and council of Wales at Ludlow
castle, an. 1661, and thence to be domestic and
naval chaplain to James duke of York, in 1663 : In
whose service continuing till 1666, or after, was
then by the means of Dr. Morley bishop of Win-
chester (for some words spoken against him dero-
gatory to his person and function) dismissed thence.
So that soon after retiring to his rectory of Lan-
durnog in the dioc. of Bangor (which he some time
before had obtained) found there but little quiet
also from Dr. Morgan his diocesan, being (as our
author • saith) set on by the bishop of Winchester.
In 1670 Winchester call'd him to an account for an
action of slander at the Kings-bench, for saying that
he was a promoter of pojx!ry and a subverter of the
church of England, attestetl upon oath by Bangor

Which fine AN'iuchester ofFer'tl to remit wholly, if
he would confess he had spoken those words against
him and ask forgiveness : But when he woukl not,
the se(|uestration continued, and 20A of it was sent
to our author, and some given for the repairing of
the cathedral of Bangor, and the rest for otner pious
uses. About the same time he was condenin'a and
censur'd ab officio & iK-neficio by his dif)cesan, occa*
sioncil by some controversy that hapned between
them about a reading pew in the church at Landur.

book was written and published in spleen against
the bishop of ^Vinchester, grounded upon a passage
in The History of Calvinism, written by monsieur
Lewes Maimburgh ' a French Jesuit, wherein he
resolves the dutchess of York's declaration for
popery, into the seeming encouragement of two of
the most learned bishops in England. One of these
our author dotli endeavour to make the reader to
understand (tlw' he nameth him not) to be Win-
chester. Notice of this book therefore coining to
the said bishop of Wine, he would have prosecuted
the matter so far in his own vindication, as to have
the said Elyrnas the Sorcerer to be publicly burnt,
and the author to be further punished : But before
he could compeiss his design, the author died. How-
ever V^'inchester, that he might not sit silent, pub-
lished his own vindication, as to M. Maimburgh's
words, in his preface to certain treatises that he
published in 1683. Rich. WaXson also D. D. of this

HENRY BLOUNT third son of sir The. Pope
Blount of Tittenhangcr in Hertfordshire knight, son
of Will. Blount of Bloimts-hill in Staffordshire, was
bom at Tittenhanger before-mention'd, which is in
the parish of Ridge, on the loth of December 1602,
educated in the free-school at S. Alban's, where, by
the help of his pregnant parts, he made such large
Steps in learning that before he was 1 4 years of age ■•
he was transplanted to Trinity coll. of which he be-
came a gent, commoner, and there, not so much
upon his relation to sir Tho. Pope the founder
thereof, as upon account of his own mtrinsick worth,
end the facetiousness of wit so peculiar to him, he
had in a particular manner the deference and respect
of the said coll. After he had taken one degree in
arts, he retired to Greys inn, studied the municipal
law, and at length, u]X)n his retreat thence, sold his
chamber to Tho. Bonham of Essex the ])oet. In
1634, May 7, [after having viewed Italy, France,
and some little of Spain '] he embarked at Venice for
Constantinople in order to his voyage into the Le-
vant, returned about two years after, became one of
the gentlemen pensioners to king Charles I. and by
him knighted 21 Mar. 1639. Afterwards he at-

for his adherence to his majesty : But he remon-
strating to them that he did no more than what hi»
place re<]uired, that is, his duty to wait, he was ac-
quitted. So that closing with that {>arty, he waa
appointed one of the committee of 21 persons in
Jan. 1651 to consult about the reformation of the
law, to consider of the inconveniences in it, and
mischiefs which frequently arose from the delays,
and other irregularities in the administration thereof,
and about that time he shewed himself active against
the payment of tythes, and endeavoured that every
minister should not have above 100/. per an. for hiu

Cains in administering the gospel. In 1654, Jul. 5.

bench in Westm. hall for the trial of Pontalion Sa
brother to the Portugues ambassador, three more
Portugueses and an English boy, for a murther and
a riot committed by them in the New Exchange, and
on the 1st of Nov. 1655 he was apjxrinted one of
the committee to take into consideration the trade
and navigation of the commonwealth, &c. He wa«
esteemed by those that knew him a gentleman of a
very clear judgment, great experience, much con-
templation (tho' not of much reading) and of great
foresight into government. He was also a person
of admirable conversation, and in his younger years
was a great banterer, which in his eloer he disused.

THOMAS BROWNE eldest son of Th. Br.

the 19tli of October an. 1605, educated in grammar
learning in Wykeliam's schixil near Winchester,
entred a commoner of Broadgate's hall (soon after
known by the name of Pembroke coll.) in the be-
ginning of the year 1623, took the degrees in arts,
as a member of the said coll. entred on the physic
line, and practised that faculty for some time in
these parts. Afterwards he travelled beyond the
seas, was made doctor of physic at Leyden, and
after his return he was incorporated in this univer-
sity, an. 1637. Alwut which time he, by the jier-
suasions of Tho. Lushington his sometime tutor,
retired to the city of Norwich, where being setled
he was much resorted to by patients for his atl-
mirable skill in physic, which he practised there
with good success for many years, was made socius
honorarius of the coll. of physicians at London, and
at length, in the latter end of September 1671, had
the honour of knighthood conferr'd upon him by
his majesty Charles II. then at, and near, the city
of Norwich. He hath written,

her sister, a lady of great beauty and accomplishments : she
was not insensible to his attachment, but was scrupulous
about the legality of marrying her sister's late husband. On
his application to the most learned civilians, and the arch-
bishop of Canterbury, he was informed, that such a match
could not take place. On this, the lady positively refused her
consent, and Mr. Blount in a fit of despair shot himself
through the head. The wound not immediately proving
mortal, he lived five days : during which time, he receivea

THOMAS TANNER, son of a wealtliy citizen
of London, was born in the parish of S. Mattliew in
Friday-street within that city, an. 1630, educated
in Paul's school, and thence sent to Pembroke hall
in Cambridge, where he took the degi-ee of bach, of
arts. Afterwards going to Oxon when the visitors
appointed by pari, sate there, he was incorporated
in the said degree in Feb. 1650, and about that
time was made one of the fellows of New coll. by
the said visitors. In less than two years after he

Sroceeded in arts, having some time before had the

being Uikcn with the forwardness, prettiness and

» [The preface. If any one, after he has read Religio Me-
dici and the ensuing discourses, ran make doubt whether the
same person was author of them both, he may be assured
by the testimony of Mrs. Littleton, sir 'ITiomas Browne's
daughter, who hved with her father when it was composed
by him ; and who, at the time, read it written by his own
hand: and also by the testimony of others (of whom I was
one) who read the MS. of the author, immediately after his
death, and who have since read the same; from which it
hath been faithfully and exactly transcribed for the press.
The reason why it was not printed sooner is, because it was
unhappily lost, by being mislay'd among other MSS. for
whicn search was lately made in the presence of the lord
arch-bishop of Canterbury, of which his grace, by letter, in-
formed Mrs. Littleton, when he sent the MS. to her. There
is nothing printed iu the discourse, or in the short notes, but
what is found in the original MS. of the author, except only
where an oversight had made the addition or transposition of
lioinc words ncccss-iry.

by tile king's commissioners, to make room for that
person, whose bread he had eaten for 10 years, he
removed to Hart hall, where he continued till his

Eroctorship was terniinatetl : by which office he and
is brother proctor were great gainers by the many
creations in several degrees that year made. After-
wards he retired to Greys inn, of which he was.
alxjut that time a barrister, and having consumed a
considerable part of the estate left him by his rela-
tions, travelled beyond the seas, was at Rome, and
in Flanders he served in the wars as a volunteer for
one summer. After his return, having by that time
but httlc left, he took holy orders, threw himself
upon the church (a usual thing ■with bankrupts)
became minister t)f Colleton in Devon, and of anor
ther cliurch in Somersetshire : Both which he kept
for some years, but having an unsetled head, he got
himself to be made chaplain to Dr. Morley bishop of
Winchester, who giving to him ' the rectory of
Brixton or Brightstone in the isle of Wight, he
setled there for a time : But the air agreeing not
with his constitution, Mr. James Rudyerd presented
him to Winchfield in Hampshire: so that being
thereby incapacitated to hold Brixton with it, he
changed Brixton for North Waltham" near to
Ba.singstoke in the .same county, both which he
kept together for alx)ut three years and then finished
his course, oecasion'd sooner, than otherwise it
might have been, by ttximuch drudging at his study
to carry on the duties required of him. He hatli
written and published.

younger brother, settled at Ramsey in Huntingdonshire, at
which place his uncle, John Lawrence, usually stiled from a
neighboring town, John de VVardeboys, was abbot since
1508. This prelate, accordinc to Dngdale, was at the disso-
lution 1539, not only very forward in procuring his own
abbey to be surrenderd to the king's use, but influenced
others to submit, for which wicked service he obtained a
large pension of 266/. 13s. M. Hedied 1542, having survived
John Lawrence his nephew, who h;id died l.')3j, and was
buried in the abbey, ana had left a son William. 'JThis Wil-
liam, who was slierif of Huntingdonshire at the death of
queen Mary, settled at Saint Ives, where he was buried
1572, leaving Henry his son and heir. This Henry was
buried at Saint Ives, 158? leaving an only son John. This
John was knighted at Windsor 1 603 by James I. and was
buried at Saint Ives, lOFeb. 1()04, leaving by his wife Eliza-
beth, sole heir of Ralph Waller of Clerkcnwell, fourth son
of Robert Waller of Beaconsfield, two sons, Henry Lawrence
the president, and John, who died 167O, ancestor to the pre-
sent sir Soulden Lawrence, a judge of the Common-pleas.

Henry Lawrence was not of Oxford ; he was educated at
Emanuel College, Cambridge, where he was admitted l6'22,
bachelor of arts, 1 623, M. A. 1627. He was nearly allied 10
the leading republicans; Cromwell, the protector, was first
cousin to Hampden, the patriot, who was first cousin to
Waller, the poet, who was second cousin to Lawrence, the
president, who was cousin to sir Gill)ert Pickermg, the
chamberlain, who was brother-in-law to Montague (.ifter-
ward earl of Sandwich) the admiral. Nor was the president's
father-in-law, sir Edward Peyton, author of the Divine
Catastrophe of the kingly Family of the Stuarts, less hostile
to a court against which he had drawn his sword as well as
his |)en. The president was a man of learning : Mihon
speaking of him ami of lord Kimbohon, stiles them Monta-
cutum Laurentiiiinque summo ingenio opliniis(|ue arlibus
expositos. Diirifig his stay in Holland he published at Am-
sterdam, 1646, a treatise On our Warre and Commuuian
with Angels, which he dedicated to his most dear and most
honoured mother, the lady Lawrence ; for though remarried
to Robert Bathurst, esq. father to sir Edward Bathurst, she
still retained her liile as a knight's widow. And there is
also a work of his in Emanuel library, ' Of Baplisme,'
printed 1646, without name, but to which some hand has
written below, • by Henry Lawrence, esq. afterw^irds lord
president of the council to Oliver ye protector.' The name
of the place is not added, but this book was probably printed
on the continent also. Mr. Todd in his notes to the twen-
tieth sonnet of Milton, • Lawrence of virtuous father, vir-

" When he was young he was puritaiiicslly educated,
" and therefore when at man''s estate he went into
" Holland to avoid the severity, as he pretended, of
" the bishojjs and their courts. At the change of
" the times in 1641 he returned to England, was
" chosen a recruiter for the long parliament to serve
" for Westmorland, but when he saw that theinde-
" pendents and other factious people would cut off
" the king's head, he left it, which made Ol. Crom-
" well then lieut. gen. of the army say, that ' a
" neutral spirit was more to be abhorr'd than a cava-
" lier spirit,' and that ' stich men as he were not fit
" to be used in such a day as that, when God was
" cutting down kingship, root and branch.' After
" this, notwithstanding, he came into play, upon
" some design, as 'twas supposed, was a member for
" Hertfordshire to serve in the little parliament?
" which began in 1653, was contributing much to
" the dissolution of it, as also of .setting up the pro-
" tector Oliver, and in settling the instrument of
" government and a single person, affirming that
" another foundation no man could lay. For wliich
" his worthy services, as they were then accounted,

tuous son,' attributes the work On our ffarre with Angels,
to' the son of the president, and not to the president himself.
This, however, is an error, for the Harl. MS. 374, contains
a letter dictated by the president, but in the hand-writing of
his eldest son, to the learned antiquary, sir Simonds d'Ewes,
baronet, and dated Altena;, Jan. 21, I646, and which runs
thus: — Filius mens natii maximus, iredecim annorum puer,
quo nunc etiam amanuensi utor, se tibi commendalissimum
esse desiderat ! and no boy of thirteen could write a work of
this abstruse nature. The niotlo which the president assumed
at that revoluiionaiy period, marks the solidilv of his cha-
racter, Nil admirari. He was not only the ally, but the
landlord, of Cromwell, to whom he let a farm and sheepwalk
from 1631 to l63i; and from the protector's having resided
at the mansion at Saint 1 ves, it is still called Cromwell House.
He was member for Hertfordshire in 1653 and |654 ; and in
1656, being elected both for the town of Colchester and
county of Carnarvon, he chose to represent the latter. In
1634 he was made president of the council, and was gazetted
as a lord of the other house, in December 1637. His por-
trait is inserted into lord Clarendon's History, in the king's
library at Buckingham House. At the death of his son
Edward, he inherited an estate at St. Margaret's, alias Thele,
in Hertfordshire, at which place he lies buried, with the fol-
lowing inscription :

Here lieth interred the body of Henry Lawrence, esquire;
sometime of this place; who married Amy Peyton, daughter
of sir Edward Peyton, of Iselham, in the county of Cam-
bridge, knight and baronet. He had issue bj her, seven sons
and six daughters. He departed this life, August the eighth,
1664, in the 64"' year of his age, &c. See Chauncey's His-
tory of Hertfordshire.

Of his sons, Edward, buried l(i57, at St. Margarets, was
member for Pembrokeshire, in 1656. Henry, son and heir
at his father's death, died 1 679, leaving sir Edward Lawrence,
created a baronet 1749, and deceased, without i«sue, in the
same year, aged circa 90 ; and John went to Jamaica, in
company with one of the Bradshaws, either natural son or
nephew of Judge Bradshaw ; he landed in Jamaica in 1676,
and died 1C9O, and was great-graiid-father of the present
Richard James Lawrence, enquire, of Fairfud in Jamaica,
who in 1762, entered as gentleman cominoner at Saint
Mary's hall, Oxford, and James Lawrence, knight of Malta,
Xto whom I am indebted for this account) is his eldest son.]

HENEAGE FINCH the eldest son of sir He-
neage Finch of Kensington in Midi. kt. Serjeant at
law and recorder of London, by Frances liis wife,
dau. of sir Edni. Bell of Beaupre in Norfolk, knight,
was born 9 in Kent, particularly, I presume, at
Eastwell, on the 23d of Dec. 1621, educated in
Westminster school, became a gent, commoner of
Ch. Ch. in Lent term 1(J35, continued there two or
three years, went to the Inner Temple, where by
his sedulity and good parts he became a noted pro-
ficient in the municipal laws, was successively bar-
rester, bencher, treasurer, reader, &c. In 1660 on
the 6th of June he was made solicitor general to
hi.s majesty, and on the day after, Ixiing then a
knight, he was advanced to thedignity of a baronet,
by the name of sir Heneage Finc^ of Raunston in
Buckinghamshire. The next year he was autumn
or summer reader of the Inner Temple, chusing
then to read upon the statute of 39 Elizab. concern-
ing ' The payment and recovery of the debts of the
crown ;' which statute (tho' ever seasonable and then
most necessary) was never before read upon (as
'twa.s then reported) by any but himself. The
reading and entertainment la,sted from the 4th to the
17th of Aug. The former, wa,s with great strength
of reason, depth of law, and admirable sense, and
the other, with as great variety as could be imagined,
carried on. The first day's entertainment was of
divers peers of the realm and privy counsellors, with
many others of his noble friends. The second of
the lord mayor, aldermen and chief citizens of Lon-
don. The third (which was two days after the
former) of the whole college of physicians, who all
came in their caps and gowns. The fourth was of
another long robe for all the judges and advocates
(doctors of the civil law) and all the society of
Doctors Commons. The fifth was of the arch-
bishops, bishops and chief of the clergy ; and the
last which was on the 15th of Aug. was of the
king, duke of York, lord chancellor, most of the
peers and great officers of court, the lords commis-
sioners of Scotland and Ireland, &c. In April the
same year (1661) he was chosen parliament-man for
this university, but did us no good, when we wanted
his assistance, for the taking off the tribute belong-
ing to hearths. In 1665, af'ter the parliament then
sitting at Oxon had been prorogued, he was created,
in a full convocation, (kx-tor of the civil law, being
then one of the four members of parliament, th&t had
communicated the thanks of the nonourable house of
commons, lately sitting in thesaid convocation house,
to the members of the university for their Reason.t

concerning tlie solemn League and Covenant, nega-
tive Oath, &c. made 1647^ Which creation being
concludetl, in the presence of several parliament-
men (besides the said four) the vicechancellor stood
up and spoke to the pubhc orator to do his office.
VV hereupon he making a most admirable harangue,
said among other things to this effect, that ' the
university wished they had more colleges to enter-
tain the parUament-men, and more chambers, but by
no means no more chimneys,' &e. at which sir He-
neage changed Ins countenance, and drew a little
back. In 1670 he was constituted the king's at-
torney general, and upon the removal ofShaftsbury
from being lord chancellor, he was made lord keeper
of the great seal, 9 Nov. 1673. Shortly after which
he was advanced to the degree of a baron of this
realm by the title of lord Finch of Daventry in
Northainntonshire, and upon his surrender of the
great seal to liis majesty on the 19th of Decem.
1675, he received it immediately back again with
the title of lord high chancellor of England. In the
most boisterous and ticklish times, when the swoln
waves beat highest (occasioned by the popish plot)
he behaved himself with so regular, exactly pois'd
and with such even steadiness, whilst others, whose
actions not being so justly ballanced, either were
discharged from their offices, or else they themselves
by an ungenerous cowardice voluntarily resigned
them up, as unwilling manfully to encounter ap-

Croaching difficulties, of which they pretended to
ave prospects ; that he still stood firm in the good
opinion of his prince, and which is more to be
admired, at that time, when many worthy ministers
of state, were by the malice of designing men,
branded with the old infamous character of evil
counsellors, in order to have them to be run down
and worried by the violent outrages of the unthink-
ing, fflddy andi head-strong multitude. During all
which time and clamour against persons (which con-
tinued from Oct. 1678, to the beginning of the year
1681, after the Oxford pari, was dissolved) he was
neither bandied against, or censur'd in the more
private seditious cabals, nor was his master publicly
addressed to for his removal. In 1681 May 14, or
thereabouts, he was created earl of Nottingham, as
a mark of the great satisfaction his majesty had in
the many faithful services which his lordship had
rendred the crown, being a person of so eloquent and
fluent speech, and of so great sapience, that he was
usually stiled the English Roscius and the English
Cicero. A noted ' author tells us that his ' great

' Dr. Gilb. Burnet in his pref. to the sec. vol. of the Hisl.
of the Rrfurmationof the Church of England.

fThe same nulhor in another worli, speaks thus of him :
• He was a man of probity, and well versed in the laws. He
Was long much admired for his eloquence : but it was laboured
and afTected : and he saw It as much despised before he died.
He had no sort of knowledge in foreign affairs; and yet he
loved to talk of them perpetually ; by which he exposed him-
self to those who understood them. He thouaht he was
bound to justify the court in all debates in the house of loids,

parts and greater virtues are so con.spicuous, that it
were a high presumption in him to say any thing in
his coniiiicnciation, being in nothing more eminent
than in his zeal for, and care of, this church of
England.' See his character most excellently de-

body was buried on the 28th of the same month in
the church of Raunston before mentioned, near
Oulney in Bucks. On the 20th of the said month
his majesty was pleased to commit the custody of
the great seal to the right honourable sir Francis
North, lord chief justice of the Common-pleas, with
the title of lord keeper of the great seal of England,
and on the 22d he was sworn at the council-board,
and took his place as lord-keeper. This noble earl
of Nottingham left behind him several sons, the

his honours, having been before a parliament-man,

een several times elected burgess by the imiversity

[The earl of Nottingham was justly esteemed the
great oracle of the law in his time, and so perfect a
master in the art of speaking, that he passed for the
£nglish Cicero; yet his great understanding, his
eloquent tongue, and his titles of honour, did not
give his name so lasting a lustre, as that piety and
virtue, wherewith he adorned his high station which
is but too often starved in so rich a soil, and thriveth
best in a private life. Among the many very com-
mendable qualities of this great man, his zeal for the
welfare of the church of England, was not the
least conspicuous ; which particularly shewed it self,
in the care he took in disposing of those ecclesi-
astical preferments which were in the gift of tlie
seal. He judged rightly, in looking upon that
privilege as a trust for the good of the church
of God, of whicli he was to give a strict account,

ANTHONY ASHLEY COOPER baronet,
son of sir John Cooper of Rockboume in Hamp-
shire, knight and hart, by Anne his wife daughter
and sole heir of sir Anth. Ashley of Wimbourne S.
Giles in Dorsetshire, was born at Wimbourne ou
the 22d of July 1621, (19 Jac. 1.) became a fellow
commoner of Exeter coll. in Lent term 1636, under
the tuition of Dr. Prideaux the rector there<jf, and
continued there about two years. Afterwards he
went to Lincoln's inn to study the municipal law,
and in the latter end of 1639 he was elected one of
the burgesses fijr Tewksbury in Glocestershire to
serve in that parliament that began at Wcstminst.
13 April 1640. In 1642 he sided with his majesty,
being then, as 'tis said, high sheriff of Dorsetshire,
became governor of Weymouth, and raised some
forces for his use. But the mind of this person
being mutable, he left the royal cause, went into
the parhament and served them, was made colonel
of a regiment of horse and took the covenant. But
when the presbyterians thought themselves sure of
him, ' whip, he was gone (as one * saith) and in a
trice commenced a brother independent : which was
a wise part, and no trick of a changling, to shift
principles like shirts, and quit an unlucky side, in a
fright, at the noise of a new prevailing party, with
whom he staid till he gij;w up to the size of a great
commonwealths-man, and made hay in the sun-snine,
until the commonwealth and Cromwell were brought
to bed of a strange new kind of monarchy in the
house of commons ; a three or four-hundred headed
monarchy called the fifth monarchy ; and in those
days it was also called Cromwell's little parliament :
in which his little lordship became one of the princes
among a drove of changhngs,' &c. In 1645 he was
elected sheriff of Norfolk, and the next year sheriff

of Wilts, both approvwl of, and consented to, by
the members of parliament. In Jan. 1(551, liuving
liofore taken the engan^nient, he was one of those
21 persons who were appointed by j)arliamcnt to sit
as a committee, to consider of the inconveniences
which were in the law, &c. and soon after lie was
chose one of tlie council of state to Oliver: in which
high office he continued till that person was pro-
tector. In June 1653 he was constituted knight
for Wilts, to serv-e in the said little parliament that
began at Westm. on the 4th of July the same
year ; but therein having spied out Oliver's purpose
of matching to another sort of monarchy of his own,
sir Anthony then resolved, like a constant steady
man to his own main point, to trejjan his fellow
members and strike in with him, and lent him
thereupon a helping hand towards the confounding
of fifth monart-liy, to make way for a new one
under the name of protector; in which scene of
afiiurs he was made a protectorian privy-counsellor.
In Aufi'. 1654 he was apj)ointed by ordinance one of
the commissioners for Wilts, Dorsetshire and Pool
for the ejection of such whom the godly party then
called scandalous, ignorant and insufficient ministers
and schoolmasters, and about the same time he was
elected a burgess for Pool bcfore-niention''d, and for
Tewk.sbury in Glocestershire, to serve in that pari,
(called by Oliver, then protector) that began at
Westm. 3d of Septemb. the same yeai-. At which
time he aspiring to become the protector's son-in-
law, Cromwell (who well enough under.-^tood him)
either disdaining, or not daring to take him so near
into his bosom, took occasion also to (juit him out of
his council. So that being out of such public
employs, he was at leisure to make court to all pri-
vate malecontents against the protector ; and where-
soever he found a sore, there he rubVl hardest till
the end of the reign of Richard. In 1656 he was
elected a parliament-man for Wilts to serve in that
convention that met at Westm. 17th of Septemb.
tlie same year, and in 1658 he was elected again lor
that which began at the same place 27th of Jan.
In both which the friends and favourites of sir
Anthony say that he endeavoured to cross the
designs of Oliver and Richard. But the last being
soon after laid aside, sir Anthony thought it high
time of necessity, to turn back to the old honest
point of the compass, and get in again, to be thought
a new man of his majesty's party. To this end,
notwithstanding he had been nomniated one of the
council of state after the deposing of Richard (May
15, 1659) he joyned partly with the presbyterians,
and privately engagetl with sir George Booth, was
of the cabal, kept intelligence with hnn, and had a
party in Dorsetshire, which should be ready to
assist him, if little success should crown his begin-

gust 16.59 in the county of Chester, where he first
appeared, the rump beagles did trace the scent of
the al)ettors of that rising so closely, that sir Anthony

being shrewdly susjiected to have a most considerable
hand in it, and to have kept intelligence with the
king then in exile, was jniblicly accused of it in the
rump parliament then sitting. So that being called
to the bar of tlic house, he made answer so dex-
terously to their objections, that he stopt the mouths
of his accusers; and most of the members, having a
great opinion of his fidelity, did then dismiss him.
After this, perceiving full well that in short time
monarchy would be restored, he studied all the ways
imaginable (especially when it could not be hindred)
to promote it. He corresjxjnded with Monk, then
in Scotland, when he took discontent that the rump
parliament (wjiich was invited to sit again by the
army on the 6tli of May 1659) was thrust out of
doors on the 13th of Octob. following. So that
being very forward in that affair, he was on the 2d
of Jan. folio-wing (the rumj) having been a little
befoi-e readmitted to sit) nominated one of the coun-
cil of state, and alwut 9 days after had the regi-
ment of horse, then very lately belonging to Charles
Fleetwood (connnonly called the lord Fleetwood)
given to him to be colonel thereof Soon after
Monk's coming to Westminster, he became very
great with him, and was, for his sake, not only
made governor of the isle of \Vight, but one of the
council of state, by the rumj), and secluded mem-
bers then newly added to them, on the 16th of
March 1659 ; on which day they dissolved them-
selves. In the beginning of 16(30 he was chosen
one of the knights of Wilts, to serve in that parlia-
ment called the healing parliament, began at Westm.
25th of April the same year, at which time the au-
thority of the council of state ceased. In the latter
end of May following he went with general George
Monk to Dover to meet the king then about to take
possession of his kingdoms, after 12 years absence
thence. The next day, being May 26, he was
sworn a jjrivy counsellor to his majesty, being at
that time at Canterbury, in his way to London, to
be received by his subjects there ; at which time sir
Anthony took one or more oaths. In the beginning
of Oct. following, when his majesty was pleased to
issue out the grand commission of oyer and termhicr
for the tryal of the regicides, directed to several
noble persons, choice was made of sir Anthony to Ijc
one : So that he sitting upon the bench first at
liicks's-hall, and afterwards at the Okl Baily, with
others diat had been deeply engaged in the then
late grand rebellion, caused Adrian Scrope esq; one
of the regicides that then was tried, to say ° of him-
self and them thus, his words being directed to sir
Orl. Bridgman lord chief baron of the Exchequer,

the chief judge then in that affair ' But my

could say (but I think it cloth not become tne to say
so) that I see a great many faces at this time, that

insist upon,' &c. As for the faces which he meant,
that then sate as judges on him, were taken at that
time to be those of sir Anth. Ashley Cooper,
Edward ear! of Manchester, Will. vise. Say and
Seal, John lord Roberts, Denzil Hollis, esq; after-
wards lord Hollis, Arthur Annesley esq; afterwards
earl of Anglesey, ike. But to return : sir Anth.
Ashley Cooper being put into the road to gain
honour and riches, he was in the year following, on
the SOtli of April (three days before his majesty's
coronation) advanced to the degree and dignity of a
baron of this realm, by the title of lord Ashley of
Wimbournc S. Giles. Ai'terwards he was made
chancellor and under-treasurer of the Exchequer
(in which jilaces he was succeeded by sir John Dun-
combe,' about the 20th of Nov. 1672) and upon the
death of Thomas earl of Southampton lord trea-
surer, he was made one of the five commissioners by
• his majesty, for the executing the said office, on the
first of June, an. 16G7. About that time he was
lieutenant of Dorsetshire, and a person in great
favour with the king and court. In Dec. 1671 he,
with sir Thomas Clifford, were the principal advisers
of his majesty to shut up the exchequer (which was
[7^J accordingly effected on the first of January follow-
ing) and in granting injunctions in the case of
bankers. In the beginning of March following, he,
with the sjiid sir Tlumias, were great promoters of
the indulgence for lil)erty of conscience; effected
also by the king's jjroclamation for that purpose,
dated the loth of the same month, 1671 ; which
was the source of all misfortiuies that followed even
to the popish plot, an. 1678. But that indulgence
or toleration was h.i])pily annuU'd by the parliament
which did begin to resit, 4 Feb. 1672. On the
27th of April 1672 he was, by letters patent then
bearing date, created lord Cooper of Paulet and carl
of Shaftsbury, and at that time tugging hard for the
lord treasurer's place, his majesty was pleased to
advance him higher, that is to be lord chancellor of
England, 17 Nov. the same year, and on the 28th
of the same month he gave the office of lord treasurer
to the said sir Thomas, then lord Clifford. 'Tis
reported by a^ nameless author, but of no great
credit, that when his majesty (upon an occasional
hearing of this lord's (Shaftsbmy) pul)l)C sagacity
in discussing publickjy some profound points) did
as in a rapture of admiration say, that ' his chancel-
lor was well able to vye (if not out-vye) all the
bishops in point of divinity, and all his judges in
point of law ; and as for a statesman, the whole
world in foreign nations, will be an evident witness,'
&c. Before I go any farther it must be known

that altho' his majesty did publish his declaration of
war against Holland, with a manifesto of its causes,
on the 17th of March 1671, seconded by the French
king's declaration of war by sea and land sigainst the
States, dat. 27 of the s;une month, in pursuance of
which die English and French had a Avarp engage-
ment with the Dutch, f>8 May 1672, off of South-
would-bay (the duke of Yorl< bein" then admiral)
yet this war was not comrautiieated to the ])arlia-
ment till they did resit 4 Feb. 1672: In the oj-)en-
ing of which session, I say that ShaftslHu-v did, in a
speech the next day, promote and much forward
tlie said war, and enforced it moreover with a rhe-
torical flourish Delenda eat Carthago, that a Dutch
commonwealth was tcxi near a neighbour to an
English monarch, &c. By which advice the triple-
league, which had been made between us, the Dutch
and the Sweed, in the latter end of the year 1667
(at which time William Albert count of Dona embas-
sador from Sweedland was here in England) was
broken, and thereujion an alliance was made with
France : In which act we are to thank Henry
Coventry secretary of state, for his pains, if his own
affirmation may be credited, when he went into
Sweedland, 1671. In the same session of parliament,
Shaftsbury had a principal hand in jiromoting and
establishing the Test, to render papists uncapable
of jiublic employments : And this lie did (as 'tis
thought) because he perceiving the court to be sick
of him, provided himself, by having a hand therein,
with a retreat to the favour and applause of the
populacy. " Sir Will. Temple in his Memoirs of,
" &c. Lond. 1692. oct. p. 71, saith that this ' earl
" of Shaftsbury applied in his sjieech Delenda est
" Carthaffo to our interest in the destruction of
" Holland; yet when he saw the parUament and
" nation sullen upon it, and that the king could not
" pursue it with so much ill humour in both, he
" turn'd short upon the court and the rest of the
" cabal, fell in with the popular humour in the city
" as well as parliament, descried the present designs
" and conduct, tho' with the loss of his chancellor's
" place, and was believ'd to manage a practice in
" Holland for some insurrection here.' " On the
9th of Nov. 1673 (he being then president of his
majesty's council for trade and plantations) the great
seal was taken from him by the endeavours of James
duke of York, who found him untractable, and not
fit, according to moderation, for that high place (or
as another tells ' us for his zeal and activity in pro-
moting the bill for the aforesaid test) and thereupon
he grew much discontented, and endeavoured several
times to make a disturbance. On the 16th of Feb.
1676, he, with George duke of Buckingham,' James

earl of Salisbury and Philip lord Wliarton were
"sentenced by the house of lords to be committed
prisoners to the Tower, under the notion of contempt,
for that they refuse<l a recantation for what tlic day
before was s))oken by them, viz. that Buckingham
(just after the king had ended his sjjeecli to both
houses at their then meeting) endeavouring to
argue from law and reason that the long prorogation
was nuird and that the parliament was consequently
dissolved, was seconded by SaUsbury, Shausbury
and Wharton. For which reason, I say, and for
endeavouring to raise sedition, they were sent to the
Tower. Buckingham, Salisbury and Wharton were,
by petition to his majesty, freed thence in the begin-
nmg of May following, but Shaftsbury remained
there till the bc^nning of Dec. next ensuing, not-
withstanding he before (June 22, an. 1677) had
moved for a habeas corpus to the King's Bench,
which was granted, yet the judges declared they
could not release him. In Sept. 1678, upon the
breaking out of the popish plot, he became head of
the factious party, who niakmg it more terrible than
'twas, endeavoured all ways imaginable to promote
their interest thereby. To stop Shaftsbury 's mouth
therefore, and so consequently please his party, his
majesty vouchsafed to constitute him lord president
of his privy councU (consisting then but of 30) 21
Apr. 1679, but he shewing himself too busy and
forward, and little, or not at all, to keep pace with
the king's moderate humour, he was laid aside on
the 5th of Oct. following, and was succeeded in that
honourable office by John lord Roberts, who be-
having himself much like a gentleman, was soon
after created earl of Radnor. After this Shaftsbury

Rutland, was born at Walliiigford house, near Whitehall,
Jan. 30, lfi27 : his brother Francis was born after his father's
Heath. He was bre(i_up by liing Charles with his own chil-
dren, sent to Trin. coll. in Canib. from whence he and his
brother went to the king at Oxford. Under the care of the
earl of Norlhnmberland they were sent to travel in France
and Italy in an cqnipage becoming their quality. At their
return into England, they engaged with my lord Holland to
rescue the king out of captivity in the isle of Wight, but they
were defeated at Kingston, where my lord Francis, a youth of
twenty years, was slain. The duke hardly escaped with his
life to St. Neots, and thence lo the prince who was then in
the fleet. He went a volunteer into the French army, and
tignalized himself at Arras and Valencienns. He some
times wailed on hisniaiesty, but never was a burden to him.
He attended him into Scotland, thence to Worcester, where
his esca|)e was almost as miracnlons as that of the royal oak.
He fled again into France, and thence lo Flanders. He came
back and married Mary the daughter and heir of Thomas
lord Fairfax, at Nun-Appleton ; in Sept. l65g. After the
death of king Charles he went into the country to Helmslcy
in Yorkshire to his innocent but chargeable companions his
horses and hounds, where after a warm chase in hunting,
sitting on the cold ground, he got an ague and feaver, and
dyed in three days. In his sickness he desired the prayers of
the church of England, and devoutly receiv'd the sacrament ;
refusing the ofl'cr of a Romish priest; saying and repeating,
he would have noihing to do with them. He dyed Apr. l6,
lC88, and was buried at Westminster abbey, in his father's
vault in the 60th year of his age. Kennbt.]

plays his old game by recurring to the people,
remov'd into the city, and, to vent his spleen,
became the most bitter enemy in the house of lords
jigainst the duke of York, especially at that time
(15th of Nov. 1680) when Williaili lord Russel,
eldest son of William earl of Bedford, did, in the
heafl of more than 200 of the house of commons,
carry up a bill to the house of lords for the disin-
heriting the said duke of the imperial crown of
Britain. Then and tliere, I say, he was so heated
with passion (being excellently well opposed in what
he then said by George carl of Halifax) that he
talked almost all the time, being ten of the clock at
night before they gave over. But all that he then
and afterwards said effecting nothing, he WTote, or
caused to be written, abusive pamphlets, and endea-
voured, with others by an association, to depose the
king in case he, and his parliament held at Oxon in
March 168; should disagree, which he fully expected.
But his traiterous designs being discovered, he was
seized on in his house in London by one of his
majesty's sergeants at arms, on the 2d of July 1681,
examined by the council, (the king being present)
and forthwith was committed close prisoner to the
Tower for high trea.son, ' in compassing and ima-
gining the death of the king, and endeavouring to
depo.se him from his crown and dignity, ana to
raise arms to that purpose.' On the 24th of Nov.
following there was a bill of indictment of high
treason against him, read before his majesty's com-
missioners of oyer and terminer in the sessions-house
in the Old-Baily, London, and afterwards * proved
by several sufficient witnesses ; but the fanatical jury
pack'd on purpose by the then fanatical sheriffs Tho.
Pilkington and Sam. Shute, they returned the bill
ignoramus, and so forthwith Shaftsbury was set
at liberty. Ujion which deliverance, the seditious
party made Ironefircs, and caused a medal to be cast,'
of which medal Dryden the poet laureat made a
witty poem. In Octob. 1682, when Dudley North
and Pet. Rich the loyal sheriffs of London were
sworn, a warrant was issued out against, to appre-
hend, him : Whereupon he sculk'd for a time till
an opportunity wafted him over the seas to Holland,
where he remained to the time of his death. He

on the first of March 1669, and so I presume they
were soon after printed.

testant Plot, &c. Lond. 1682 in 4 sh. and an lialf
in qu. great part of which is concerning the duty
and jx)wer of grand juries, with reference still to the

part in qu. contaniing alxjut 20 sheets (written as
Hwas vulgarly said by Rob. Ferguson a Scot by the
ap{X)intment and consent of Shaftshury) which
mostly reflects on tJie printed * proceedings against
Shaftshury, when the indictment of high treason
was chai'ged against him. It endeavours also at
large to lessen the credit, and invahdate the testi-
mony of those several witnesses, which appeared
agiunst the said earl, when the before-mention'd in-
dictment was charged against him, by representing
them singly in tlie blackest and most malicious cha-
racters tiiat can be. It doth more than ordinarily
reflect ' upon Edmund Warcup a justice of peace in

most of the evidences against the said count. He is

I shall now for brevity ''s sake omit, and only tell you

chief ministers of state, not sparing the government
it self He also made the little ' short speech entit.
The Earl of Essex's Speech at the Delivery of the
Petition to the King 25. of Jan. 1680 ; which pe-
tition was, that the king would change his mind for
the sitting of the pari, at Oxon, to be at Westmin-
ster : Answer'd in a letter sent to him by Anon, in
half a sh. in fol. as big as the speech and petition.
He was also deeply supposed to have written A Vin-
dicatiofi of the Association, which was seized on in
the hands of his servant (Stringer) as he was going
to the press with it in the beginning of Decern. 1682 ;
who being examined about it confessed that it was
written by Rob. Ferguson a nonconformi.st minister,
author of, as he added, The second Part if the
Growth of Popery. Whereupon soon after a mes-
senger was sent to Brill in Holland to demand the
body of him the said Ferguson and of Shaftshury,
but the States refused to deliver them, as the com-
mon letters dat. 13 January following told us.
Much about the same time I was informed by letters
also that since the said carl's retirement to Amster-
dam, he printed and published a hook there, in
which he endeavoured to free himself from all cause
of jealousy, and aspersions cast on him ; upon which
a back friend of his immediately dispers'd a satyrical
reply in opposition thereunto. Which coming early
to his lordship's hands, he printed a second book,
justifying the validity of the first, but he did so
much confound himself therein, that the States had
then a jealousy, that he came among them for some
other intent, than barely his majesty's displeasure
with him.

THOMAS HUNT, son of Hen. Hunt, was
born in tlie city of Worcester, an. 1611, became a
student in Pembroke coll. 1628, master of arts in
1636, but whether ever bach, of that faculty it ap-
pears not ; and therefore Hen. instead of Tho. Hunt
m the Fasti 1630, among the bachelors, is to be
taken away. Afterwards he went into the country
and taught a private school " in Salisbury,'" then to
London and taught in the church of S. Dunstan in
the Ea.st, and at length being preferred to the mas-
tership of the free-school of S. Saviour's in South-
wark, did much good among the youth there, as
elsewhere he had done, by his admirable way (ac-
companied with much industry) in teaching. For
the use of whom he wrote,

things he hath written, I know not, nor any thing
else of him, only that lie died 23 January, in mx-
teen hundred eighty and two, and wa.s buned in the
church of S. Saviour in Southwark, close to the wall
in the corner, on the left hand of that door that
leads from the IJull church-yard or IJuU-hcad
church-yard into the said church. The reader may
be pleased now to know, that besides this, hath liecn
another, Tho. Hunt, who, tho' no Oxford man by
education, yet having been famous in his generation
among certain schismatical persons for several things
that he hath written and publisjied, I shall therefore
give you these brief memoirs of him, viz. That he
was born in London, in the Augustine Fryars, as I
conceive, near the Old Exchange, was first scholar,
then fellow, and master of arts of Queen's coll. in
Cambridge, where he was esteemed a person of
quick parts, and of a ready fluence in discourse, but
withal too pert and forward. Thence he went to
Greys inn, where before he had been entred a stu-
dent, and making proficiency in the municipal laws,
was made barrister, was had in repute for Iiis prac-
tice, and acknowledged by most persons to oe a
good lawyer. In 1659 he became clerk of the as-
sizes of Oxford circuit, but ejected from that office
at his majesty's restoration (to his great loss) to
make room for the ti-ue owner. Afterwards he lived
and followed his profession at Banbury in Oxford-
shire, was steward for a time to part of the duke of
Buckingham's estate, and afterwards to the duke of
Norfolk, &c. He hath written and published (1)

expected no less than to be made lord chief baron of

honourable office, which he too ambitiously catch'd
at, and considering the loss of another place which
he unjustly possessed, he soon after appeared one of
the worst, and most inveterate enemies, both to
church and state, that was in his time, and the most
malicious, and withal tlie most ignorant scribler of

years, or thereabouts, and made fellow thereof in
1627, he being then bach, of arts. Afterwards he
proceeded in that faculty, took holy orders, and in
1635 he was presented by the university of Oxon to
the vicaridge of Eltham in Kent, by virtue of an
act of parliament began at Westm. 5 Nov. 3 Jac.
disinabling recusants to present to livings. In 1638
he resigned his fellowslnp, and the same year took
the degree of bach, of divinity, being about that
time also rector of S. Swithin's, London-stone.** In [730]
the beginning of the civil wars he adhered to his
majesty, and was thereupon thrown out of his livings,
that of S. Swithins being lost in 1643, or there-
abouts, and suffered much, for about 17 years time,
for the royal cause. After the return of king Charles
II. he was restored to what he had lost, became

esteem for his holy life and conversation, for his

chancel of the church at Eltham before-mention'd,
having had some dignity in the church in those
parts.

[Rich. Owen was the son of Cadwalader Owen
A. M. vicar of Llanbrynmair, and rector of Llan-
fechar, com. Montgomery, by his wife Blanch, the
daughter and coheir of John Roberts esq. younger
brotlier to Lewis Anwyl of Park in com. Meriomth
esq. This Cadwalader Owen, who, as I think, was
of Oriel coll. was in his time reputed a great dis-
putant, and generally called by the name of Sic
doceo. He was instituted to the sine cura of Llan-
brynmair Febr. 10, 1610, being vicar before of the
same place. He was also rector of Llanfechan, and
(as Lewis Dwn in his herald's visitation sayth) was
a justice of the peace in com. Montgomery. He
dyed in 1617. I have heard he was a writer, but
what he writ, I know not. For his son Richard
Owen, he was fellow of Oriel coll. and rector of
London Stone and Eltham. He is sayd to have
put Dr. Bates's Elenchus Motuum Nuperorum into
Latin, and published a Latin sermon called Paulus
Multiformis, on 1. Cor. 9. 22. and perhaps others.
He had some lands of inheritance from his ancestors
in the parish of Tracefynydd, com. Merionith,
which he sold to sir Thomas Middleton of Chirk.
Humphreys.]

RICHARD TOWGOOD or Toogood, was
bom near Brewton in Somersetshire ; became a ser-
vitor or poor scholar of Oriel coll. an. 1610, took
the degrees in arts, holy orders, and preached for
some time in these parts. Afterwards he retired to
the city of Bristol, was made ma.ster of the school in
the College Green there, and thence he was removed
to the pastorship of All-saints ciiurch. Afterwards
he took the degree of bach, of div. and was made
one of the chaplains to king Charles I. to whose
cause adhering m the time of the rebellion, he suf-
fered much for it, being then vicar of S. Nicholas
church in Bristol : but at the return of his son he
was restored, was made, as I conceive, prebendary

of Bristol ; and u|X)n the promotion of Dr. Glenham
to the see of S. Asaph, had tJie deanery thereof
given to him by his majesty, in requital of his suf-
ferings, which lie kept to his dying day. He hath
published.

cause. After his niajesty's restoration in 1660, lie
was actually creatc-<l D. of D. by virtue of the king's
letters for that purpose, was about that time made
a dignitary, ana in 1671 dean of Lichfield in the
place of Dr. Tho. Wood promoted to the see thereof.

Several sermons, as one upon Gen. 5. 24. another

Market Bosworth in Leicestershire on the 26th of
Apr. in sixteen hundred eighty and three, being
tlien there to attend the funeral of sir Wolstan
Dixey, and was some days after buried in the oath,
church of Lichfield. In his deanery succeeded Dr.
Lancelot Addison ' of Qu. coll. in Oxon.

JOHN DUREL, son of Joh. Durel of S. Hil-
lary in the isle of Jersey, was Iwrn there, entred a
student in Merton coll. m the latter end of the year
1640, aged 15 years, having then a chamber in S.
Alban's hall; but before he had spent two years
there (which was under Mr. Tho. Jones) he left
that ancient house, Oxford being then garrison'd for
his majesty,. and the scholars in arms for him, and
forthwith retired to France ; where, at Caen in Nor-
mandy, he took the degree of master of arts in the
Sylvanian coll. 8th of July 1644. About which
time he studied divinity, carried it on for at least
two years at Saumur under the famous divine and
writer Moses Amyraldus divinity reader in that uni-
versity. iVfterwards he retired to his own country,
continued there for a time among his relations, but
at length being expuls'd thence with monsieur Le
Couteur and Dan. Brevint, lioth bom in Jersey, our
author Durel, who was the first that left that place,
took his journey to Paris, and there received epis-
copal ortlination in the chappel of the honourable
and truly noble sir Rich. Browne, knight, his ma-
jesty's then resident in France, from the hands
of Thomas bish. of Galloway (after the king's re-
storation of Orkney) about 1651. So that being a
native of Jer.scy, ordained in France, and by a Scotch
bishop, doth make a certain ' writer doubt wliether
he was ecclesia; Anglicanae presbyter, as our author
stiles himself in his books. Soon after he resided at
S. Maloes, and acquainting his friends with the con-
dition he was then in, he was thereupon kindly in-
vited by the reformed church at Caen, by an express
on pur[)ose, to come there and become one of their
ministers in the absence of monsieur Sam. Bochart
the famous orientalian, philologist and critic, (author
of Geographia sacra, &c. and of that Latm letter
to Dr. George Morley at the end of that book) who
was then going into Sweden. Not long after the
landgrave of Hessen having written to the ministers

of Paris to send him a minister to preach in French
at his highness's court, he was by them recom-
mended to that prince : from whom likewise he re-
ceived a very kind invitation by letters, which he
kept by him to the time of his death. But the pro-
viaence of God not permitting him to go to either
of those places, he became at length chaplain to the
duke de la Force, father to the princess of Turein,
monsieur Le Couteur being invited likewise at the
same time to the rcform'd church of Caen, and Bre-
vint to another church in Normandy, where he was
preferr'd to be chaplain to the prince of Turein. [7321
Before I go any farther, I must tell you that about
1642 the duke of Soubize living near to the court
at Whitehall, and finding it troublesome, and some-
times impossible by reason of his infirmities, to go
to the Wall(X)n's church in the city of London, had
commonly a French sermon preached before him in
his own house every Sunday. This being found
very commodious to the P'rench living near there-
unto, it was thought convenient upon the death of
the said duke, to set up a French churcl) about the
Strand: and it being in a manner settled, that in
the city did so highly resent it, that ever after the
members thereof did endeavour by all means pos-
sible to pull it down. U[X)n the King's restoration
the French church in the city addressed his majesty
to have the French congregation at Westminster
broken, and forbidden to assemble, because it was
not established by lawful authority. That at West-
minster did jjresent an humble suit to his majesty
that he would be pleas'd to continue it. His mai.
upon consideration of the matter, granted both their
requests by breaking the congregation at Westmin-
ster, and by setting up a new church under the im-
mechate jurisdiction of the bishop of London, wherein
divine service should be performed in French ac-
cording to the book of common prayer by law esta-
blished, his majesty providing for one minister, and
they themselves allowed to add to him as many as
by them should be thought convenient, provided
that the said ministers be presented to the bishop of
London, and by him instituted. By virtue of the
said grant tlie litui'gy of the church of England was
first read in French in the Fr. ch. at Westm. as-
sembled by the king's special favour in the chappel
of the Savoy in the Strand, on Sunday 14 July
1661, and the same diiy in the morning our author
Durel (who had the chief hand in setting up this
church according to this new model) did preach, and
in the afternoon Le Couteur, then dean of Jersey :
from which time, he Avith others were constant
preachers for several years ibllo wing, and much re-
sorted to and admired by all. In the beginning of
Apr. 1663 he (Durel) was made preb. of North
Aulton in the church of Salisbury (being then chapl.
in ord. to his maj.) and in Feb. following he suc-
ceeded Dr. A. Hawles in his prebendsliip of Wind-
sor, and about that time was made prebendary of
Durham, and had a rich donative confen-'d on Iiim.

III the latter end of 1CR9 lie was actually created
doct. of divinity, as a member of Merton coll. by
virtue of the chancellor's letters read in a full con-
vocation, held on the ISth of Octob. going before,
whereby we are informed that ' his fame was so well
known to them (the acadeniians) especially for the
great pains he had taken in the church, that lie
could hardly propose any thing to them in his
behalf, in which they wouM not be willing to prevent
him.' The most noble chancellor further adds,
that ' of his parts and learning they were better
judges than himself, but had not so much experience
of his loyalty, fidelity and service to his majesty as
himself,' &c. In July 1877 he became dean of
Windsor in the place of Dr. Br. Rvves deceased,
and so consequently dean of Wolverhampton ; and
had he lived some years longer, there is no doubt
but he would have been promoted to a bislioprick.
He was a person of unbyassed and fixed principles,
untainted and steady loyalty, as constantly adhering
to the sinking cause and interest of his sovereign in
the worst of times; who dar'd with an unshaken
and undaunted resolution to stiind up and maintain
the honour and dignity of the English church, when
she was in her lowest and deplorable condition. He
was very well vers'd also in all the controversies on
foot between the church and the disciplinarian jjarty;
the justness and reasonableness of the established
constitutions of the former, no one of late years
hath more plainly manifested, or with greater learn-
ing more successfully defended against its most
zealous modern oppugners than he hath done, as by
his works following is manifest. Several of his pro-
fessed adversaries do give him great commendations,
particularly Lewis du Moulin, who saith ^ that he is
[733] ' Jfi familiari progressu vir civilis ingenio, ore probo,
pectore niveo, oratione profluente & lenocinante,'
&c. And one of another persuasion named father
Simon, priest of the congregation of the oratory
calls ^ him a learned English protestant. But now
let's proceed to the works of learning by him pub-
lished, which are these,

An Apology for Engli.ih Fvritans : The writer of
which neither mentions Dr. Durcl, or any botly else
in the title ; and tho' an independent, yet he pleads
the cause of the presbyterians. The other answer,
which is an Apology also, is said by a certain * per-
son to have been written by Hen. Hickman, bearing
this title. Apologia pro Minislris in Anglia (vulgo)
Noncoitformists, An. 1662, Aug. 24 JJie Bartho-
lomcco dicto, cjectls, &c. And tho' this and others
are stiled Apologies, yet our author Durel saith *
they are satyrs, and no other but ' famosi adversus
ecclesiam Anglicanam libelli.' Dr. Lew. du Mou-
lin designed once to translate the said View of tlie
Government, &c. (which is often quoted by many
eminent writers, and highly commended) into Latin
for the sake and use of foreigners; but Will.
Jenkyns the noted presbyterian minister deter'dhim
from his pur}X)se, threatning him with no less punish-
ment than that of eternal damnation, if so pernicious
a book (as he was pleased to call it) in which the
concord of the church of England, with all the
reformed churches as to church government and
divine worship, should be by his means communi-
cated to foreigners. The doctor himself hath told
us this, saying that for this reason he let fall the
work after he had began it, having proceeded no
fartlier in it than the translation of the preface,
which Dr. Durel had by him, as wrote with Mou-
lin's own hand. This, and more, concerning the
whole matter, may be seen in our author's Responsio
ad Apologisfa; Prcrfationem, going next before his
Vindicice, &c. As for Jenkyns beforc-mention'd,
a most rigid presbyterian, he had been pastor of the
Black-fryers, and afterwards of Ch. Ch. in London,
had been engaged with the presbyterian ministers
in their plot to bring in king Charles II. from Scot-
land 1651, (for which he had like to have gone to
the pot wdth his dear brother Love) was ejected
from Ch. Ch. for nonconformity, an. 1662, and car-
rying on afterwards the trade of conventicling, was
several times imprison'd and otherwise troubled.

January 1684, (at which time were 80 dissenters or
more then and there remaining) and on the 24th of
the same month his corps, being attended by at least
150 coaches, was interr'd in the burying place called
by some the Fanatical, and by others Tyndal's
Burying place, joyning on the north side to the New
Artillery Garden or Yard near London.' Soon
after was printed and pubhshed, An Elegy on that
reverend and learned Minister of the Gospel Mr.

A comment on which, with many things concerning
Mr. Jenkyns himself, you may see in the 2d vol. of

that ' possession and strength give a right to govern,

aforesaid two Apologies a btxik entit.

the author doth only by the by sometimes take
notice of the former or first ajwlogist, as thinking
him unworthy of any larger confutation, but the
other (Hickman) he answers more fully and de-
signedly in his citations following his second edition.
As for the character given of the said Vindicice,

upon them by Mr. Durel and Mr. Scrivner. Lond.
1679. oct. Of which edition and notorious falsities
expressed in the title, I shall give you an account
when I come to H. Hickman. Dr. L. Du Moulin
published also another book against it, without his

3. Prodromus. 4. Defensor. And 5. Patronus,

[735] you to the said Patronus bonw Fidei, the writer
thereof (Moulin) is characterized as doctissimus,
clariss. and eruditiss. jwssibly, as we may justly
conceive, tor liis performance in that woriv. Nay 'tis
not only quoted as a very authentick ])icce by tlie
said Jenkyns, but is cited by Dr. Tho. Godden
[alias Tilden '] tlie great and eminent Rom. Cath.
writer against the churcii of England in his Dialo-
gues wrote in defence of Catholics no Idolaters,
against Dr. StiUingfleet, as a treatise to be credited
in its account of some practices and usages in tlie
church of England, but chiefly of bowing towards
the altar. To which citation from Du Moulin, Dr.
StiUingfleet replies in his book * entit. Several Con-
ferences betzoeen a Romish Priest, a Fanatic Cluip-
lain, and a Divine of the Ch. of England, being a
full Answer to tlie late Dialogues of T. G. In the
pages here quoted in the margin you'll find an
account of the great knight-service which L. dvi Mou-
lin did for the papists, and what wonderful good use
they made of hnn, besides the sharp character given
of his performance in Patroniis bona; Fidei, which,
I presume, could not be over pleasing to that proud
and haughty French-man. A farther account of
him and iiis writings is in Dr. Rob. Grove his
Defensio ' swr Responsionis ad nuperum Libellum
qui inscribiturCeleusma,^c.adversus Reputationem
ab Authore Celeusmatis editum : but more particu-
larly from the said Grove's former piece called ^ Re-
sponsio ad Celcusma, &c. In tlie ISth page of this
last mention'd book, you have this close and smart
character of some of this French doctor's most con-
siderable performances thus, ' Erat aliquando tem-
pus, cum tu excusatius jieccares, cum esses olim
Irenaeus Philadelphus, an. 1641, qui a te laesi erant,

Altho' these Vindicias of Dr. Durel are well known
to be written in good Latin, yet Dr. Du Moulin
makes '■' such a boasting fulsome comparison between
the goodness of Dr. Durel's stile in this book, and
that of his own in his Pair. bon. Fidei, &c. In' a
.strange kind of mo<lesty, giving himself the pre-
eminence in sucli unbecoming extravagant language,

joyning to the choir of the chap, or ch. of S. George
within the castle at Windsor, in a small vault of
brick built for that purpose, and intended for his
wife also after her decease. Soon after was a flat
black marble stone laid, with a little inscription
thereon containing his name, title, and obit, as also
his age when he died, which was 58. In his
deanery succeeded Dr. Franc. Turner, and in his
prebendship of Durham Dr. Jo. Montague master
of Trin. coll. in Cambridge, brother to the present

WILLIAM BELL was born in the parish of
S. Dunstan in the West in London, on tlie 4th of
Feb. 1625, educated in Merch. Taylors school,
elected scholar of St. John's coll. in 1643, afterwards
fellow, but in 1648 ejected thence by the visitors
appointed by parliament, he being "then bach, of
arts, and well sTcill'd in the practical part of music.
Afterwards he lived in several places as opjxirtunity
served, was in France an, 1649, and about 1655 he
had a small benefice in Norfolk conferr'd on him,
but could not pass the triers. When his majesty
was restored in 1660, he becatne chaplain in the
Tower of Lond. to sir Joh. Robinson lieutenant
thereof, and in the year after was actually created
bach, of divinity. In 1662 he was presented by the
president and society of S. John's coll. to the vica-
ridge of S. Sepulchre in London,' void by the non- -
conformity of Tho. Gouge sometime of King's coll.
in Cambridge (who died 29 Oct. 1681, aged 77
years) and in ^5 he was made prebendary of S.

JOHN BARNARD or Bernard the son of a
father of both his names gent, was born in a market
town in Lincolnshire, called Castor, educated in the
grammar school there, whence going to Cambridge,
he became a pensioner of Queen's coll. and thence
journying to Oxon to obtain preferment from the
visitors there, appointed by parUament, in the latter [737]
end of 1647, was actually created bach, of arts in the
Pembrokian creation, 15 Apr. 1648, and on the
29th of Sept. following, he was by order of the said
visitors then bearing date, made fellow ofl^inc. coll.
In 1651 he proceetled in arts, and about that time
became a preacher in, and near, Oxon. At length
wedding the dau. of Dr. Pet. Heylin then living at
Abingdon, became rector of a rich church in his
own country called AVaddington near Lincoln, the

Eerpetual advowson of which he purchased, and
eld for some time with it the sinecure ofGetlney in
the same county- After his majesty's restoration he
conformed, and not only kept his reactor}-, but was
made preb. of Asgarby in the church of Lincoln.
In 1669 he took the degrees in divinity, being then
in some repute in his country for his learning and
orthodox principles. He hath written,

have not yet seen, and tlierefore cannot tell yon
when or where 'twas printed. This Dr. Barnard
died at Newarke in his journey to the Spaw, on the

three, and was buried in the cliancel of his churcli
at WadtUngton bcfore-mention'd, as I have been
informed bv his son of both his names, lately fellow
of Brasen-n. coll. who also told me that he left
behind him a manuscript chiefly against Socinianism,
which is not yet printed.

JOHN OWEN son of Hen. Owen sometime a
pettv schoolmaster at Stokenchurch, afterwards vicar
of Stadham near Watlington, in Oxfordshire, was
born in the said town of Stadham, bred in grammar
learning, mostly under Edw. Silvester, who taught
school for many years in Allsaints parish in Oxon,
entred a student in Queen''s coll in 1628, instructed
in logic and philoso))hy by Tho. Barlow fellow
thereof, and took the degrees in arts, that of master
being taken and compleated in 1635 ; ' at which
time, as the custom and statute is, he swore alle-
giance and fidelitv to the king, his heirs, and lawful
successors. Which oath is taken by all who take
but one degree : [so that if they swerve from their
lawful prince, as presbyterians, independents, &c.
have done, and adhere to another authority, they
are per)ur''d.^J And this for once is to be noted
of all such whom I have, and shall mention in this
work. About the same time he entred into holy
orders, and when made priest swore canonical obe-
dience to the bishop his diocesan. Afterwards he
became chaplain to sir Rob. Dormer of Ascot in the
-parish ol' Great Milton near the place of his nati-
■vitv, where he served and did all things requisite to
his" office according to the church of England, and
'taught also the eldest son of the said knight. AlK)ut
that time he became chaplain to John lord Love-
lace of Hurley in Berkshire, where continuing till ,
the turn of the times, he sided then with the rebel-
lious rout, preached against bishops and their courts,
common pniyer b(X)k, ceremonies, &,c. Afterwards
he was made minister of Fordham in Essex, took
the covenant, became pastor of that nest of fai'tion
caird Coggeshall in tlie same county, where lately
that noted presbyterian Ob. Sedgwick had held
forth. But then he perfectly beholding that the
[7381 independents grew prevalent, he changed his mind,
adhered to them, and endeavoured to ruin the jires-
byterians. He violated all oaths, as of canonical
obetlience, solemn league and covenant, &c. and
being a man of parts was more enabled to do greater
mischief by them, especially in preaching up secta-
.rism, as he did ever and anon wheresoever he came.
By the doing of these things he became endeared to

01. Cromwell, who had liim ever after in great
res})ect, and in some things relieil on his council.
In the latter end of 1648, when king Charles I. wa«
beheaded, he in his discourses and sermons ap-
plauded^ the regicides and declared the death of
tiiat most admirable king to be just and righteous,
preached against king Ciiarles II. and against .ill
the loyal party. In 1649, June 7, was a thanks-
giving by tiie parliament officers of the army, lord
mayor and citizens at Ch. Ch. in London for Crom-
welfs victory over the levellers, at which time Tho.
Goodwin and this our author Owen (who had al)out
that time taken the engagement) preached to them
out of the politics; and on the day after a com-
mittee was a])pointed to consider how to prefer those
two preachers to be heads of colleges in this univer-
.sity, as a reward for asserting the late proceedings
of parliament and Cromwell, ujwn the aforesaid
thanksgiving day. It was not then thought fit that
such men should serve God for nothing : In the
times of S. Peter and S. Paul, godliness was great
gain, but in the days of the late saints, gain was
great godliness. On the 17th of Sept. 1650, it was
ordered by the parliament, according to the desire
of 01. Cromwell then general of the forces, that he
and Joseph Caryl shoidd go into Scotland, and on
the 18th of March following, it was ordered by them
that he should be dean of Ch. Ch. in Oxon. In
which place being soon after setlcd, he with Tho.
Goodwin president of Magd. coll. (the two Atlasses
and patriarchs of independency) did, with some
others who were their atlmirers, endeavour to settle
independency in the university according to Crom-
wclfs mind, but in their designs they found much
opposition from the presbyterians, with whom they
had several clashes concerning the promoting of
their doctrine. In the year 1652 he was made vice-
chancellor,'' in which office, he being then also one
of the visitors (for by that time several independents
had been added to them) he endeavoured to put
down habits, formalities and all ceremony, notwith-
standing he before had taken an oath to observe the
statutes and maintain the privileges of the univer-
sity, but was opposed in this also by the presbyte-
rians. While he did undergo the said office, he,
instead of being a grave example to the university,
scorned all formality, undervalued his office by going
in quirpo like a young scholar, with powdred hair,
snakebone bandstrings (or bandstrings with very
large tassels) lawn band, a large set of ribbonds
pointed, at his knees, and Spanish leather boots,
with large lawn tops, and his liat mostly cock'd.

On the 10th of Dec. 1653 he the said Owen, Tho.
Goodwin, R. Fairclough the elder, Nicli. Lcx-kycr,
Joh. Caryl, S:c. were presented to the parliament to
be sent commissioners, by three in a circuit, for
ejecting and setling ministers according to the rules
then prest'rib''d, but that project taking not effect,
there were commissioners appointed bv Oliver for
approbation of public preachers, whereof John Owen
was one of the chiefest ; and in the year following
commissioners from tlie laity, and assistants to them
fix)m the clergy in every county, for the ejecting of
such whom they then calleil scandalous, ignorant
and insufficient ministers and schoolmasters, that is
loyal and orthodox divines. At which time John
Owen, and Tho. Goodwin were appointed for the
county of Oxon, together with Thankful Owen pres.
of S. Jo. coll. Sam. Wells minister of Banbury, Joh.
Taylor min. of Broughton, Christoph. Rogers, Amb.
Upton, Pet. French, Hen. Wilkinson, Ralph Bat-
ton, Hen. Cornish canons of Ch. Ch. Edm. Stanton
pres. of Corpus, Rob. Harris pres. of Trin. coll.
Franc. Howell of Ex. coll. Mr. Brice of Henly, &c.
In 1654 Owen stood to be elected burgess for the
[739] university of Oxon, to sit in the parliament then
called, and rather than he would be put aside, be-
cause he was a theologist, he renounced his orders,
and pleaded that he was a meer layman, notwith-
standing he had been actually created D. of D. in
the year before : But his election being questioned
by tne committee of elections, he sate only for a
little time in the said parliament. While he was
vicechanc. he preached frequently, blasphemed God
with bold and sensless effusions, and in his sermons
and prayers he did oflen confound the royal family.
He hail a wonderful ' knack of entitling all the pro-
ceedings of his own party, however villainous and
inhuman, nay any the least revolutions or tuni of
affairs, which hapned to be in favour of his own
cause, to an especial providence, to the peculiar
and pliunly legible conduct of heaven ; which he
zealously preached up, as sufficient to unty the
strictest bonds of faith, allegiance and all other oaths
to overturn all the obligations of conscience and reli-
gion. He could easily make the transactions of th6
three kingdoms to be the fulfilling of many old pro-
phetical predictions, and to be a clear edifying com-
ment on the Revelations, still teaching (as most of
the brethren did) that to pursue a success in villany
and rebellion, was to follow the guidance of provi-
dential dispensations. He was also then, while he
'was vicechancellor, so great an enemy to the Lord's
Prayer, that when some preachers concluded their
own with it, which was very seldom done by any,
especially the presbyterians and independents, (be-
cause it was looked upon, forsooth, as formal and
prelatical so to do) he would with great snearing
and scorn, turn aside or sit down and put on his hat.

* Sam. Porker, in his Defence and Cunlinuaiion ofEccles.
Policy, &c. after p. 5i88.

Which act of his being looked ujwn as diabolical,
especially by the royal party, it gave occasion to
Dr. Mor. Casaubon to write and publish A Vitidl-
cat'ion of the Lord's Prayer, &c. as I have told yoii
elsewhere. In 1657, when Rich. Cromwell (son of
Oliver) was elected chancellor of this university, our
author Owen was removed from his viccchancellor-
ship, and the year after, when he was made prw-
tector, he was, by the endeavours of the presbyte-
rians, removed also from his favour, and St. Mary's
pulpit cleansed of him and G(X)dwin. All whirfi
our author taking in great scorn, he, out of spite,
set up a lecture at another church, using these*
words, ' I have built seats at Mary's, but let the
doctors find auditors, for I will preach at Peter's in
the East ;' and so he did for a time and many flocked
to him. In the latter end of 1659 he was outed of
his deanery of Ch. Ch. and then retired to Stadham
(the place of his birth) where a little before he had
bought land and a fair dwelling house. There he
lived for some time, called together some of his
party to preach, and many of his disciples went from
Oxon to hear him and receive comfort from his
doctrine ; but they being several times silenc'd by
soldiers of the militia troop bckmging to the county
of Oxon, and sorely threatned, that congregation was
broken. After all this (when our author for his
rebellious actions, bla,sphemies, preachings, lyings,
revilings, perjuries, &c. was not excepted from the
act of obUvion, which was much wondered at and
desired) sir E. Hyde then lord chancellor treated'
him with all kindness and respect, and designed
him, if he could not conform, to employ his timfe
and abilities in writing against the papists, and not
to violate public laws and endanger public peace by
keeping conventicles. Whereupon Owen gave his
word that he would be obedient to his commands,
but being not long after found preaching to about
30 or 40 of the godly party, in his house at Stad-
ham, by an officer of the militia troop, he was com-
plained of to the lord chancellor. Soon after Owen
na\ing received intelligence that that great person
was very angry, upon information of the matter
made to him while he was at Cornbury in Oxford-
shire, he wrote to Dr. Tho. Barlow (whom he had
obliged with the like kindness in the reign of Oliver) [740]
and desired him to mediate on his behalf to the said
person. Whereupon Barlow went from Oxon to
Cornbury, where the lord chanc. hearing his errand,
he * told him then that Dr. Owen was a perfidious
person, in that he had violated his engagements,
and therefore he would have nothing to do with
him, but leave him to the penalty of those laws he
had transgressed, &,c. Upon this our author resolved
to go to New England, but since that time the wind
was never in a right point for a voyage. After this

he settled in London, set up a church, preaclictl
and prayed, having been encouraged thereunto (as 'tis
said) by tlie pajiists ; and at length burying his
wife, married (after 60 years of age) the young
widow of Thorn. D'oyley his neighbour (younger
brother of sir Joh. D'oyley of Ciiesilhampton near
Stadham baronet) and took all occasions to enjoy
the comfortable importances of this life." A certain
nonconformist (J. 11.) doth characterize ' our author
thus. ' He is a reverend man, a doct. of div. of
much gravity and of long standing, (excellent in learn-
ing and all sorts of it for his profession, of dignity in
his time as much as any have been capable of, a
person of noted constant piety and a studious life,
of universal affability, ready presence and discourse,
liberal, graceful and courteous demeanor, that speak
him certainly (whatsoever he be else) one that is more
a gentleman than most in the clergy, and that he is
accordingly favoured sometimes with the princes
converse, and the general veneration of the people,'
&c. Thus the author here quoted, whom I take to
be Joh. Humphrey ; but another,* (a great loyalist)
several times before quoted, saith that this our au-
thor Dr. Owen ' was the prince, the oracle, the
metrapolitan of independency, the Achitophel of

Oliver Cromwell Or which is more than all,

a servant of Jesus Christ in tlie work of the Gospel,
and that in the same sense as the innocent, meek
and devout Christian is the servant of the Devil in
the work and vassalage of sin.' He also often stiles
him 'a blasphemer and perjur'd person, a libeller of
authority after the restoration of king Charles II.
that he praised Gotl for shedding the blood of
Christian kings and their loyal sid)jects, that he was

Suilty of reiterated perjuries against that Gotl whom
e confidently affirmed to be insnirer of all prayers ;
and therefore (as he further adds) he ought in con-
science, before he departs this life, to give satis-
faction to the English church and nation, for those
mLschiefs which his counsels, preachings, prayers
and writings drew not only upon the royal family
and church, but upon the lives, Uberties and for-
tunes of so many loyal gentlemen, who were either
murthered in cold blood and imprisoned and ba-
nished,' &c. Another highflown ' loyalist tells us of
Dr. Owen, that there is scarce a principle of blas-
phemy or rebellion in the Alcoran that that wretch
hath not vouched upon divine authority. ' He is a
person of such a rank complexion that he would

Ijuage the said author here quoted hatli in his ♦ pre-
face to bishop Bramhall's treatise, which lie pulv-
lished, but shall be now omitted. Here you .see the
characters given by persons of several persuasions
according as their affections led them ; but what I
my self knew of him, which may, I hope, be racn-
tion'd without offence, envy or flattery, is (let ra.sh
and giddy heads say what they please) that he was
a person well skill'd in the tongues, rabinical learn-
ing, Jewish rites and customs ; that he had a great
command of his English pen, and was <me of the
most genteel and fairest writers, who have appeared
against the church of England, as handling his ad-
versaries with far more civil, decent and temperate
language than many of his fiery brethren, and by
confining himself wholly to the cause without the
unbecoming mixture of personal slanders and re-
flection. Dr. Edw. Stillingfleet saith that this our
author Owen treated him with civility and decent
language, for which he thank'd him ; and Mr. Hen.
Dodwell, that he is of a better temper than most of
his brethren, as abstaining from personal slanders in
confining himself wholly to the cause. His per-
sonage was proper and comely, and he had a very
graceful behaviour in the pulpit, an eloquent elo-
cution, a winning and insinuating deportment, and
could by the persuasion of his oratory, in conjunc-
tion with some other outward advantages, move and
wind the affections of his atlmiring auditory almost
as he pleased. The things that he hath written are
these.

following words : ' He (Poole) also wrote a volume of En-
glish Annotations on the Holi/ Scripture; intending to have
gone thro' it if God hiid spar'd his life : but he went no far-
ther than the 50th chapter of Isaiah. Others undertook to
compleat his work, but the Oxford collectour hath mistaken
their names, for he mentions Dr. Bates, Dr. Jacomb, Mr.
Clarksou, and Mr. Alsop, as persons concerii'd in it, without
any ground in the world. He says, he did notdoubl but Dr.
Owen also had his share in the work. But they who are 10

his doubts, are in a fair danger of being bewilder'd. In op-

of his time in continual agitation to carry on the

applause of people, he did very unwillingly ' lay

HENRY BOLD, fourth son of Will. Bold of
Newstead in the parish of Buriton in Hampshire,
sometime capt. of a fcwt company, descended from
the .ancient and genteel family of the Bolds of Bold-
hall in Lancashire, was born in Hampshire, elected
probationer fellow of New coll. from Winchester
school 1645, or iherealwuts, ejected thence by the
parliamentarian visitors in 1648, and afterwards
going to the great city, became a member of the
examiner's office in chancery, and excellent at trans-
lating the most difficult and crabbed English into
Latm verse. He hath written,

Chancery-lane near Lincolns-inn on the 23d of Oct.
(being the first day of the term) in sixteen hundred
eighty and three, aged 56 or thereabouts, and was
buried in the church at Twyford (West Twyford)
near Acton in the county of Middlesex. I shall make
mention of another H. Bold in the Fasti an. 1664.

WILLIAM SCROGGS, son of Will. Scroggs,
was born in a market town in Oxfordshire called
Dedington, became a commoner of Oriel coll. in the
beginning of the year 1639, aged 16 years, but soon
after was translated to that called Pembroke, where
being put under the tuition of a noted tutor, be-
vame master of a good Latin stile, and a consi-
derable disputant. Soon after, tho' the civil war
broke forth, and the university emptied thereupon
of the greatest part of its scholar.s, yet he continued

there, bore arms for his majesty, and liad so nnich
time allowed him, that he proceeded master of arts
in 1643. About that time he being designed for a
divine, his father jMocured for him the reversion of
a good parsonage ; but so it was that he being en-
gaged in that honourable, tho' unfortunate, expe-
dition of Kent, Essex, and Colchester, an. 164'8, [T^^]
wherein, as I have been credibly informed, he was
a captain of a foot company, he was thereby disin-
gaged from enjoying it. So that entring himself
mto Greys-inn, studied the municipal law, went
diro' the usuiil degrees belonging to it, was made
Serjeant at law 25 June 1669 and knighted ; and
tlie same year on the 2d of Nov. he was sworn his
majesty's .serjeant. In 1678, May 31, he was made
lord chief justice of the king's bench, upon the re-
signation of sir Richard Rainsford ; but not long
after his advancement, the jwjii.sh conspiracy was
di.scovered : so that his place obliging hnn to have
the chiefest hand in bringing sonte of the principal
conspirators conccrn'd therein to public jti slice, he,
in several tryals of them, behaved himself with so
undaunted a courage and greatness of spirit, giving
such ample testimony of his true zeal for the pro-
testant cause, that he gained thereby for a while an
universal applause throughout the whole nation,
being generally esteemed as a main patriot and sup-
}X)rt of his country, whose all scem'd then (especially
to the fanatical party) to lye at stake, and to he
threatned with apparently impendent ruin. But at
length the implacable and giddy-headed rabljle be-
ing possess'd with an opinion, that he had not dealt
uprightly in the tryals of some of the conspirators
(he mitigating his zeal when he saw the popish plot
to be made a shooing-horn to draw on others) which
caused articles of impeachment to be drawn up
against him (read in the house of commons and in-
grossed,' and on the ITth of Jan. 1680 sent up to
the house of lords) he *as removed from his high
office about the eleventh of April 1681, meerly to
stop their mouths, and so obtain quietness. "Where-
upon sir Francis Pemberton, knight,*" was sworn to
the said office on the next day,' as it seems, and the
day following that he paid liis duty to his majesty.
Soon after sir William retired to his estate at Weald-
hall near Burntwood in Essex, where he enjoyed
himself for a time in a sedate repose. He was a
person of very excellent and nimble parts, a good
orator and a nuent speaker, but his utterance being

called Weald,' &c. But the reader must know,
that the said jx;rson (sir VV. D.) never speaking well
of him after he had refused to pay the fees of his
knighthood to the coll. of arms, of which he was to
have had a considerable share, he is therefore desir'd

him the said sir W. Scroggs till farther proof may
be made to the contrary.'

JOHN OLDHAM, son of Joh. Oldham a non-
conformist minister, and he the son of Joh. Oldliani
sometime rector of Nun-eaton near Tetbury in
Glocestersh. was born at Shipton (of which his father
was then minister **) near the said town of Tetbury,
and in the same county, on the ninth day of Aug.
1653, bred in grammar learning under his father tUl
he was nigh fit for the university, afterwards sent to
the school at Tetbury, where he spent about two

! rears under the tuition of Henry Heaven, occasioned
)y the desire of one Yeat an alderman of Bristol,

' [Burnet, if he maybe believed, corroborates sir William
Dugdalc's account as to Scroggs's character. ' He was, (says
the bishop) more valued for a good readiness in speaking
well, than either for learning in his profession, or for any
moral virtue. His life had been indecently scandalous, and
his fortunes were very low. He was raised by the earl of
Daiiby's favour, first to be a judge, and then to be the chief
justice. And it was a melancholly thing to see so bad, so
ignorant and so poor a man raised up to that great post.'

who had a son then there under the said master,
whom Oldham accomjianied purposelv to advance
him in his learning. This occasioned liis longer stay
at school than else he needed, but conduced much to
his after advantage. In the beginning of June 1670
he became a batler of S. Edmund's hall under the
tuition of Will. Stephens bach, ofdiv. where he was
observed to be a good I>atinist, and chiefly to addict
himself to poetry, and other studies tending that
way, to which the bent of his genius led him more
naturally than to any other. Four years after he
took the degree of bach, of arts, but went away and
did not compleat it by determination. So that living
for some time after with his father, much against his
humour and inclinations, got to be usher of Croyden
free-school in Surrey, where he continui'd for about
three years : In which time he became acquainted
with that noted poet for obscenity, and blasphemy,
John earl of Ilochcster, who seemed much delighted
in the mad, ranting, and debauched specimens of
poetry of this author Oldham. Afterwards he was
tutor to the grandsons of sir Edw. Thurland (a late
judge) living near Reigate in Surrey, with whom he
continued till 1681, and then being out of all busi-
ness and emj)loy, he retired to the great city, set up
for a wit, and soon after became tutor to a son of sir
Will. Hicks near London : where, at his leisure
hours., by the advice and encouragement of Dr. Rich.
Lower, he ajiplyed him.self to the study of physic.
At length being made known to that most generous
and truly noble William earl of Kingston, he was
taken into his patronage, lived with him in great
resjject atHolme-PierpontinNottinghamshire, where
he made his last exit, as I shall tell you anon.
This noted poet hath written,

ROBERT CROSSE, son of Will. Crosse of
Dunster in Somersetshire, was born there, or at
least in that county, became either batler or com-
moner of Line. coll. in Mich, term 1621, aged 16
years, where employing his studies in philosophy
and disputation, took the degree of bach, of arts.
On the 14th of Decemb. 1627 he was elected fellow
of the said coll. so that taking the degree of master
the next year, he entred into holy orders, became a
great tutor and Aristotelian, and much noted in the
university for a learned man. In 1637 he was ad-
mitted to the reading of the sentences, and being
puritanically inclined, sided with the presbyterians
m the beginning of the civil wai's. In 1643 he was [7531
nominated one of the assembly of divines, took the
covenant, and sometimes sate among them, and in
1648 submitting to the parliamentarian visitors, he
was named and appointed by the committee for the
reformation of the university to .succeed Dr. Sander-
son in the king's professorship of divinity of this
university ; but he refusing to accept it, had soon
after the rich vicaridge of Great Chew near Pensford
in Somersetshire conferred on him. So that resign-
ing his fellowship in 1653, he settled at Chew, and
in the next year was constituted an assistant to the
commissioners appointed by parliament for the eject-
ing of ignorant and .scandalous ministers and scnool-
masters (as they were then called by the faction) in
Somersetshire. In 1660, at the restoration of king
Charles II. he conformed, and because there was no
lx)dy to claim his living, he continued there to the
time of his death. While he remained in the univer-
sity he was accounted a noted philosopher and
divine, an able preacher, and well vers'd in the
fathers and schoolmen ; but when he lived in the
country, he had (if you'll believe his conceited anta-

eoniet ' Glanvill) ' a reputation for learning among
his neighlx)urs, and was accounted a philosopher in

the Perijxitetic way, and by eniploynig his

younger years in the philosophy of disputation, had
gaine<i ' to himself the reputation of a great scholar,
and a disputant among nis country admirers,' &c.
But these and other his foolish commendations of
him that follow, as that he is a < person that under-
stands the quiddities and haeccieties, the praxissiones
fonnales and the objectivse, the homogeneities, and
hetrogeneities, the categorematice's and the syncate-
goreniatice''s, the simpliciters and the secundum
quids, &c. meerly to undervalue his learning, be-
cause of his undervaluing him (Glanvill) the Royal
Society and experimental philosophy, I shall now
jMiss by as needless to insert, and tell you that he
wrote,

Exercitatio Theologica de Insipientia Rationis
hiMnante, Gratia Christi destitute, in Rebus Fidei ;
1 Cor. %. 14. Oxon. 16-55. qu. [Bodl. B. 16. 6.
Line] I desire the reader now to know, that after
Mr. Joseph Glanvill had setled himself in the city
of Bath, and had written certain things against
Aristotle, and the academical way of education,
'twas the desire of some neighlx)uring scholars that
our author Crosse a noted philosopher after the an-
cient way, should be brought acquainted with him.
In the year therefore 1667 Glanvill was conducted
to his house at Great Chew, where after the usual
civihties were passed, Crosse did in a sufficient man-
ner vindicate Aristotle ; and knowing Glanvill to be
one of the Royal Society, and an undervaluer of
academical learning as to Aristotle and his philo-
sophy, he did plentifully then declaim against the
Proceedings of that society. Glanvill thereupon
eing surprized, he did not then much oppose hira,
but afterwards by lettei's and common discourses he
did to the purpose, especially against this hypothesis
of Crosse, that ' Aristotle had more advantages for
knowledge than the Royal Society, or all tlie present
age had, or could have, and for this strong reason,
because he did totam peragrare Asiam,' &c. Where-
upon fell out a great difference between them ; and
Mr. Hen. Stubbe then a summer-practitioner of
physic at Bath, bearing no good will to the con-
ceited proceedings of Glanvill, took Crosse's part
and encouraged him to write against the virtuoso.
Soon after our author Crosse provided a book,
which Glanvill * call'd a fardel, tho' Stubbe not, but
a good and seasonable book, yet rejected by the
licensers (as Glanvill adds) both at Oxford and
London, for its incomparable railing and imper-
tinence. However Glanvill obtaining the contents
of it, sent it in a private letter to Dr. Nath. Ingelo

fellow of Eaton coll. near Windsor, who .sending it
also to a friend in London he caused it to be printed,
and entitled The Clicw Gazette, and dispersed the
copies (an 100 only, for no more were printed) into
private hands, to the end (as Glanvill ^ says) that
' his shame might not be made public,' 8ec. that ' a
specimen also of the learning he shews in school-
scraps and httle ends of verse, and children's phrases
(which are all his reading) might be discovered.'
After the letter was abroad, Crosse wrote ballads
against him, and made him and his society ridi-
culous ; while other wags at Oxon, who seemed to be
pleased with the controversies, made a dogrel ballad
on them and their proceedings ; the beginning of
which is,

' Two Gospel knights
Both learned wights

And Somerset's renown a,
The one in village of the shire
But vicaridge too great I fear.

The other lives in town a, &c.

Mr. Glanvill tells ' us also, that our author Crosse
hath written a book called Blographia, which gives
rules, how lives are to be written, &c. to correct Dr.
Fell for his way of writing the life of Dr. Hammond,
because he denied a license to print his book. At
length Mr. Crosse having lived to a fair age,
departed this mortal life alwut 4 of the clock in the
morning of the 12th of Decemb. in sixteen hundred
eighty and three, and was buried in his church of
Chew magna before-mention'd, leaving then behind
him the character amon^ grave, and sober persons of
an able theologist and philosopher.

GEORGE RITSCHEL, the eldest son of
George Ritschel a Bohemian, by Gertrude his wife,
was born at Deutschkana in the borders of Bohemia,
on the 13th of Feb. styl. nov. an. 1616, sent by his
relations when 17 years (»f age to the university of
Strasburg, where he continued about 7 years. At
length his father dying, and FerdinandoII. driving
the protestants out of his dominions, he, rather than
he would conform to the ch. of Rome, agreed with
his younger brother, that he should have the estate
to which he was heir, contlitionally that he would
furnish him with money to travel into foreign parts.
Which being agreed to, our author G. Ritschel
went into England, and setling for a time in Oxford,
was there, on the 3d of Decemb. 1641, entred into
the publ. or Bodleian hbrary under this form,
' Georgius Ritschel Deutchkanan. Bosellus;' but
the rebellion breaking openly out in the year follow-
ing, he went to the Hague, Leyden, and Amster-
dam. In 1643 he travelled into Denmark, where
he spent above an year at Copenhagen and Sora,
and m 1644 he visited Poland, and from Dantzick

lie went into England, where continuing for some
time in London, journied thence to Oxon, took up
his quarters in Kettle hall (a member of Trin. coll.)
became a severe and constant student in the Hodleian
library, and wrote and ])ublished a Iwok during his
stay in the university, as I sliall anon tell you ; but
whether he took a degree therein, it ap{)ears not.
After he had left the university, he became chief
master of the free-school at Newcastle ujjon Tyne ;
whence, after he had continued there several years,
he was removed to the vicaridge of Hexham in
Northumberland, where he continued minister al-
most 28 years. He hath written,

temberg his Ethica Christiana, in 2 vol. qu. with
another Latin quarto called Exercitaticmes sacriv,
which Hesenthalerus desired, and promised to take
care of the printing them, and engaged his son to
take the like care, if he should die before they were

MSS. ready for the press, one De Fide Catholica,
and the other Against the English Quakers both in
qu. and in Latin. This learned author, who for a
time had been tutor in his travels to the sons of the
prince of Transylvania, died on the 28th of Decem-
ber in sixteen hundred eighty and three, and was
buried in the chancel of the church of Hexham liefore

FRANCIS BAMPFIELD, third son of John
Bampfield * of Portimon in Devons. est], was born in
that county, became a commoner of Wadliam coll.
in 1631, aged 16 years, took the degrees in arts,
that of master being compleated in 16JJ8, and after-
wards holy orders from a bishop. " He was pre-
" sented to a living in Dorsetshire, and in the begin-
" nine of the unhappy rebellion (1641) was a
" zealous man for loyalty and the king's party. So
" that he doubted whether he might salva conscienti^
" pay any tax impos'd by the parliament, and con-
" suited Dr. Ironside (afterwards bishop of Bristol)
" al)out that question. He publicly read the Com-
" mon Prayer longer than any minister in Dorset-
" shire. Afterwards Mr. Baxter turn'd him to the
" parliament party," and" he was at length, on the
death of William Lyford, minister of Shirebourne
in Dorsetshire, having before taken the engagementj
an. 1653, where he continued, carrying on the trade
among the factious people, not without great dis-
turbance from quakering witches, as he pretended,
till the act of uniformity cast him out, an. 1662.
Afterwards he lived in the said town for some time,
kept conventicles, wasimprison'd ' for so doing several
times, and forced to remove histpiarters. At length
retiring to London, the common refuge of such
people, he preached in conventicles there, was several
times committed upon that account, and continued a
prisoner for about the ten last years of his life, at
several times. He was always a person so strangely
fickle and unsteady in his judgment, that he was
first a church-man, then a jiresbyterian, afterwards
an independent, or at least a sider with them, an
anabaptist, and at length, almost a compleat Jew,
and what not. He was also so enthusiastical and

The design of which fantastical and imintelligible
book is for the advancement and augment of useful
arts, and of prolitable sciences in a scripture way,
and that all pliilosophy be taught out of the scrip-
ture, and not from licathen autliors. The author
shews himself dissatisfied with his academical edu-
cation, and is clearly against that way ; and would,
if he could, have his own idea take place: and
vainly endeavours to represent the many pretended
inconvenicncies of those methods, which nave been
so long estabUshed in our universities, saying* that
' enthusiastic phantasms, lumiane magistralities, self-
weaved ratiocinations, forc'd extractions, indulged
sensuations, and unsetliiig .scepticisms have laid,
some of the most, claim to the liighest advance of

he hatii written and jiublishcd I cannot tell, nor any

convicted, and committed for preaching at Pin-
makers-liall in London, was brought on the 24th of
Feb. 1682 to the sessions held at the Old Baily,
where being tendred the oaths, he said tliat tiie king
of kings Ibrbad him to take them, and thereupon
was re-committed to Newgate prison. (2) That he
was brought thither again about the 18th of April
1683, and refusing them, was sent to Newgate,
from wiience he came. (3) That he and one Grif-
fith, Reynolds, and AVarner, who had lain a long
time in Newgate for refusing the oaths of allegiance
and supremacy, were on the 18th of January 1683
indicted for the same, and found guilty at the Old
Baily, and lastly that our author Banipfield dying
in the said jirison of Newgate, on Saturday the six-
teenth day of February, in sixteen hundred eighty

days after followed with a very great company of
factious and schismatical people to his grave, in the

" 1608, educated in Ixith the universities ; especially
" in that of Cambridge, and therein in Tnn. coll.

" was sometime doubtful whether I should put him

" therefore allot him a place among the Oxonians.
" After he had left the university he went to the inns

THOMAS GAWEN, son of a minister of the
city of Bristol of both his names, was born in a
market town in Glocestershire called Marsfield, edu-
cated in Wykeham's school near Winchester, made
perpetual fellow of New coll. an. 1632, aged 22
years, took the degrees in arts, holy orders, tra-
velled, was at Rome, and accidentally sometimes
fell into the company of John Milton the antinio-
narchist. After his return, he became chaplain to
Dr. Curl bishop of Winchester, who gave him a
prebendship in that church, and the rectory, as I
conceive, of Exton in Hampshire he being then
much valued for his learning, Greek and Latin
poetry. About the latter end of 1642, having the
year before left his fellowship, he was appointed by
the said bishop to he tutor to his son, then a com-
moner of Magd. coll. where being esteemed a person
of admirable breeding, his company was much de-
sired and courted by reason of his travels and dis-
course, which savoured at that time nothing of
popery, but rather an aversion from it ; of miich
great notice was taken among those with whom he
communed. Afterwards upon the delivery up of
his charge, and a foresight of the ruin of the church
of England, he travelled again to Rome with the
heir of the Dorcestrian Pierponts, spent some time
there and in other parts of Italy, and returning
thro' France, met with an intimate friend of his

(then lately of Miigd. coll.) at Paris, with whom
having several conferences, that person found his
discourse changed, and some tincture tlierein of tlie
Romish dye. Whereupon he acquainting Dr.
Steph. Goffe of the person, he desired his company,
but could not by any means persuade him to come
within the verge of the court of the queen mother
of I'^ngland then there, and the reason of it was, as
they conceived, because he would keep his opinion
undiscovered, to the end that he might afterwards
gain some profit from the church of England. After
his majesty s return, he was restored to what he had
lost, became rector of Bishops-stoke in Hampshire
and of Fawley, but the last he never enjoyed, be-
cause not inducted thereunto. About that time
being discovered to be what he was, a Roman ca-
tholic, he willingly left all he had, and to prevent
danger that might ensue from his clerical bretliren,
he procured himself, by the endeavours of Dr. Goffe
and lord abbat Mountague, to be sworn a servant
to Henrietta Maria the qu. mother before-mentioned.
Afterwards he went a third time to Rome, married
an ItaUan woman well bom, and had a child by her ;
but because he had nothing with her, left her and
the child, and returned to his native country, his
wealth being kept for the children of his brother,
who was then P. of the P. P. at London. About
that time he took up his quarters in the city of
Westminster, was in some trouble alwut the plot,
1679, lived a retired hfe, a perpetual student in re-
ligionary controversies, and wrote many things, of
which some are extant, as,

Oct.

Certaifi Reflections upon the Apostles'" Creed
touching tlie Sacrament.

Divers Meditations and Prayers, both before, and

after tlie Communion. These two last, go and

are bound with the Brkf Explanation, &c. Other
things also which he left behind him, that are not as
yet, I suppose, extant, are (1) A-Treatise of mental
Prayer. (2) How to gain a Jubilee or Indulgence.
(3) Of the Name of God Jehovah. (4) Meditations
belonging to spiritual Exercise. (5) Treatise
touching tlie Reading of Sainfs Lives, &c. And
among the translations mto Latin which he made,
was Joh. Cleaveland's poem calPd The Rebel Scot ;
and among those from Spanish into English, The
Life of S. Vincent of Caraffa the General of the
Society of Jesus. He died m his house situated in
the Pail-Mall within the liberty of the city of West-
minster, on the 8th day of March in sixteen hundred
eighty and three, and was buried in the church of
S. Martin in the Fields, within the said city, leav-
ing then behind him the character among men,
especially those of his persuasion, of a learned and
religious i)erson.

THOMAS GORE was Iwrn of an ancient and
genteel family living at Aldriiigton alias Alderton
in AVilts. an. 1631, at which place his ancestors,
who originally came from AVhitlegh near Melkesham
in the said county, have lived alwut 300 years. In
the time of the rebellion he was educated in gram-
mar learning at Tetbury in Glocestershire under
Mr. Tho. Tully, where being rip'ned for the uni-
versity, became a commoner of IMagd. coll. in the
month of May 1647, under the tuition first of Joh.
King fellow of that house, and afterwards, with
leave from the president, under the said Mr. Tully
fellow of Queen's coll. After he had continued in
Magd. coll. more than three years, and had per-
fornrd his exercise for the degree of bach, of arts,
he retir'd to Lincoln's inn, whence after he had
spent some time in the municipal laws, he receded
to his patrimony at Alderton, where prosecuting his
natural genius which he had to heraldry and anti-
quities, wrote and pubhshed these things following.

WILLIAM CLARKE, son of George Clarke,
by his wife the sister of Will. Prynne esq; was born
at Swainswyke near Bath in Somersetshire, became
a commoner of Oriel coll. an. 1657, aged 17 years
or thereabouts, took one degree in arts 1661, and on
the 80th of Mar. 1663 was made fellow of his house.
About that time applying his mind solely to the
study of physic, left his fellowship three years after,
retired to his native country, and practised it in the
city of Bath, where I saw him in 1678, and his book
entituled.

1684. Apr. in sixteen hundred eighty and four, was
buried in the church there on the 27th of the same
month. He was usually called there Dr. Clark;
but whether he ever took that degree elsewhere, I
cannot tell. I am sure he was only bach, of arts of
this university.

[760] DANIEL WHISTLER, son of Will. Whistler

of Elvington in the parish of Goring in the dioc. of
Oxford, was born at Walthamstow in Essex, edu-
cated in grammar learning in the free-school at
Thame, admitted prob. fellow of Merton coll. in
Jan. 1639, aged 20 years or thereabouts; where
going thro' the severe exercise then kept up, pro-
ceeded in arts four years after. About that time
obtaining leave of his society to travel, he crossed
the seas to Holland, took the degree of doctor of

f)hys. at Leyden, an. 164-5, and returning the year
bllowing to his coll. was incorporated doctor of his
faculty in this university 1647. Afterwards he
submitted to tlie power of the visitors appointed by
parliament, kept his fellowship (tho' absent) became
superior reader of Lynacre's lecture, but read not,
because he was practising his faculty in London ;
and in 1653 he went as chief physician to the em-
bassy made by Bulstrode Whitlock into Sweedland.

After his return he was made fellow of tlie coll. of
physicians, fellow of the royal s<x;iety when first in-
stituted, and at lengtli iijwn the removal of Dr.
Tho. Cox for being whiggishly inclined, he was
made i)resident of the said college, about S. Luke's
day 1683. He hath written and published,

Lond. 1645 and 1683 qu. Tins noted doctor, tho'
he had married a rich widow, and did obtain about
1000^. per an. by his practice, many years before
his deatn, yet he died in the coll. of physicians very
much in debt, and worse than nothing, on Sunday
the 11th day of May in sixteen hundred eighty and
four: whereupon his body was buried but a little
better than in private, towards the upper end of the
north isle or alley joyning to the church called
Christ-church in London, which is near the said
coll. of physicians.

[Being well skilled in the mathematics, he was
chosen professor of geometry in Gresham college, in
1648, being the fourth professor in that faculty,
who had been successively elected from Merton col-
lege. He continued to hold his fellowship at Ox-
ford together with his professorship. Upon his
marriage in 1657 he resigned his professorship. His
book of the Rickets was published five years before
Dr. Glisson's book came out upon the same subject

learned and faithful tutor Mr. George Ashwell in

the year following, took one degree in arts by the
name of Tho. Leigh (by which name also he had
been matriculated) went afterwards to Cambridge,'
when Oxford was garrison'd for his majesty, took
the degree of master of arts there in July 1647,
being then or lately master of the school at Bury S.
Edm. in Suffolk, returned afterwards to Oxon for
preferment, was made chaplain of Wadh. coll. and
inconx)rated master of this uni\'ersity by the name
of Tho. Lye, in the month of May 1649. Soon
after he was made minister of Chard before-men-
tioned, and on the 24th of Aug. 1651 he preached
a farewell sermon, as being under the sentence of
banishment, because he would not swear against the
beloved covenant. In 1654 he was appointed one of
the assistants to the commissioners of Somersetshire
for the ejection of such whom the saints then called
scandalous, ignorant and insufficient ministers and

church of Clapham in Surrey ; in which town he
had usually held forth in conventicles with Dr. Hen.

JOSHUA SPRIGGE, son of Will. Sprigge
sometime servant to Will, lord Say, afterwards
steward of New coll. was bom at Banbury in Ox-
fordshire, became a commoner of New inn in Mid-
summer term an. 1634, aged 16 years, left it without
a degree, journied into Scotland, and became master
of arts at Edinburgh, and a preacher. A little be-
fore the rebellion began he retired to London, was
a preacher at S. Mary Alderin. afterwards took the
covenant, was made minister of S. Pancras church
in So]x;rlane, and at length a retainer to sir Thii.
Fairfax general of the parliament army. In 1648
he was constituted one of the fellows of Alls. coll.
by the committee and visitors appointed by parlia-
ment to reform the university, and in the year fol-
lowing was incorporated M. of A. as he had stood
at Etlinburgh. While he continued in Alls. coll.
he was of civil conversation, but far gone in en-
thusiasm ; and blamed much by some of the fellows
then there, for his zeal of having the history of our
Saviour''s ascension curiously carved from stone over
that coll. gate, to be defaced, after it had remained
there since the foundation of that hou.se. About
that time he was esteemed also a noted independent,
and afterwards very well known to be a great fa-
vourer of factious and blasphemous persons, parti-
cularly that grand impostor James Naylor quaker,
in whose behalf, he did, in the head of an hundred
men, deliver a petition in favour of him to Oliver
lord protector. After the king's return, he retired
to an estate which he had purchased at Crayford in
Kent, lived privately there, and frequented con-
venticles. At length upon the death of James lord
Say, which was in the latter end of 1673, he mar-
ried his widow named Frances, daughter of Edward
viscount Wimbledon, with whom he had great fa-
miliarity, to the jealousy of her husband, during the
time of her first husband. But she being a holy
sister, and kept, or caused to be kept, conventicles
in her house, they, upon trouble ensuing, removed
to Highgate near London, where our author Sprigge
died, as I shall tell you anon. He hath extant these
things following, viz.

Several sermons, viz. (1) God a Christianas All;

PETER GUNNLNG, son of Peter Gunning
minister of How in Kent, by Eleanor Trest his
wife (a Kentish woman of a good family) was bom
at How on the eleventh, and baptized on the 16th
of January 1613, bred up in the free-school at Can-
terbury, where being found remarkably ripe for the
university, he was at 15 years of age sent to Clare
liall in Cambridge, of which house he was soon after
made fellow ; having been, from his first admittance,
very much in the eye of all that university, as having
been never wanting in any kind of exercise either
grave or jocose, as also noted for one whose ex-
traordinary parts and indefatigable industry and
study promised great things. After he was master
of arts he took upon him the cure of Little S.
Mary's church in Cambridge, chosen to it by the
master and fellows of Peter house, all colleges being
ambitious some way or other to make him theirs.
When the grand rebellion began, or at least about
to begin, he was very zealous in opposing the at-
tempts of the then spreading schism and troubles,
and did not forbear to protest jjublicly against the
faction when it was most formidable. In a sermon
also at S. Mary's in Cambridge, he vehemently and
convincingly urged the university to publish a
formal protestation against the rebellious league:
And being occasionally about that time in Kent
(upon a short visit to his mother lately then a
widow) he was hunted about and forced to lye in
woods, and at length was iraprison'd for having as-'
sisted some forces, belonging to the king at Tun-
bridge, with the chai-ity he had moved a neigh-
bouring congregation to by two sermons. Thence
he was forced to his college to take the covenant,
which he resolutely denying to do, was thrown out
of his fellowship *. But before he , . , ^

left Cambridge, he with Mr. Bar- „„, joM\.'!^..n*
row, afterwards bishop of S.Asaph, whu took it was
Mr. Ward afterwards bishop of 1'"^ therein. First
Sahsbury, and Mr. John Barwick, '^''"•
with two or three others, did write a resolute and
well penn'd treatise against the covenant, which was
afterwards published.* In the beginning of the
year 1644, if not before, he with the said Mr. Bar-
row, his great companion and fellow-sufferer,
journied to Oxon, then his majesty's head-quarter,
and being forthwith made known to that most worthy
patron of learning Dr. Rob. Pink warden of New
coll. he entred them chaplains of that house, where
they had lodging and diet. In July the same year,
Mr. Gunning was incorporated master of arts of this
university, but whether Mr. Barrow was, or took
any other degree, it appears not in the public re-
gister. About the same time Mr. Gunning became

curate for Mr. Jasp. Mp.yne at Cassington, four
miles north-west tlistant from Oxon, in which .service
contiiuiing about two years, he endured several af-
fronts and abuses by the parliamentarian soldiers
from Abingdon and elsewhere, either by interrupting
him with base language, or by pulling him out of
the church. Ijcsides the constant duty at New coll.
and his reading prayers and preaching every Sun-
day at Cassington, he sometniies preached either
before the king, or parliament sitting at Oxon. In
consideration of which he wa.s one of those many
that had the degree of bach, of divinity conferrVl
upon him, and accordingly was admitted on the day
before the garrison of Oxon was surrendred for the
use of the ])arliamcnt : So that he having been in-
corporated, and afterwards admitted to a superior
degree with us, is the reason why I now put him
among the Oxford writers, tho'' indeed Cambridge
is more properly his mother. After the surrender
of Oxon, he undertcx)k the charge and tuition of
Christoplicr, afterwards, lord Ilatton and sir Franc.
Compton, in both whom, he instilfd most excellent
principles of loyalty. Afterwards he was chaplain
to sir Rob. Shirley father of Rob. (which last was
made lord Ferrers of Chartley) who setled on him
about 100/. per an. for his life, being more particu-
larly moved thereunto for his great abilities, and
the learning which he shew'd in the silencing a
popish priest, with whom he held two or three set
disputations for the satisfaction of his patron and
others that engaged him in them. Not long after
sir Rob. Shirley dyed in the Tower, having been
committed to that place for his loyalty; so that
thereupon Mr. Gunning betaking himself to the
holding a constant congregation in the chappel
at Exeter-house in the Strand, did, by his reading
the English liturgy, preaching, and administring,
assert tne cause of the church of England with
great pains and courage, when the parhament was
most predominant : and his sermons and prayers
being performed very regularly according to the an-
cient usage of the church, great numbers of well-
affected and honest people flocked to them, as others
did to other loyal preachers in several parts in, and
near, the city of London, whereby thousands being
confirmed in the communion of the church of Eng-
land, as in other parts of the nation, was thereby
frustrated and taken away the groundless reproach
cast upon the true protestants by the romanists that
their church was lost. Besides these his labours,
for which he was often sent for and reprov'd by the
usurper Oliver, he would on the week days look out
all sorts of sectaries and dispute with them openly
in their own congregations : Nor was there any con-
siderable sect, whether presbyterian, independent,
anabaptist, quaker, brownist, socinian, &c. but that
he held with them, some time or other, a set public
disputation in defence of the church of England.
About the time of the king's restoration he was
|x)ssess'd of the rectories of Cotesmore in the county

of Rutland " and of Stoke- Brewen in Northampton-
shire,' which he long l)efore had title to, but kept
out for his loyalty. The vicaridge of S. Martin's
in the Fields in Westminster was first design'd him,
and a prebendship of Canterbury : ' tlie last he had,
but the other not, as being thought more for the
service of the public to fix him for a while in tlie
university of Cambridge, where being first made D.
of D. and master of Corp. Ch. coll. and soon after
of S. John's, he was for a little while Margaret pro-
fessor ; ' and as soon as Dr. Ant. Tuckney was re-
moved, he was made reg. professor of divinity as the
fittest man for that chair that could be then chosen,
to settle the university right in their principles
again, after many corruptions had crept in there by
means of the rebellion. I say that he did not only
succeed the said Tuckney in the divinity chair,' but
also in the mastership of S. John's coll. who having
been lawfully ejected from both, as having had no
right title to either, yet such was the goodness of
Dr. Gunning that he allowed him a very considerable
annuity during his life. Which act of his, being
excellent and singular, is here remembred to his
everlasting fame, and the rather for this reason, that
no presbyterian or independent was ever known to
allow any loyalist, whose places they had occupied
for several years, the least farthing, but rather re-
jected and avoided them, vilified, scorn'd and ex-
posed them to the plebeians, as empty, formal, and
starch'd nothings. These things I have known, and
do remember tnem as done in this university, and
the like without all doubt was used at Cambridge :

and yet so it is, that some of the dregs of these men
that yet remain among us,* have not been content
with the king's clemency to keep their places to this
day, but take all occasions, upon the least interrup-
tion in the nation, to breed faction among us,
jealousies in die people of the violent coming in of
popery, make continual clamours after ])referment,
as if tney had deserv'd it as well as sufferers, and I
know not what. But now to return to the worthy
person whom we are further to mention : Be it re-
membred therefore that upon the death of Dr. Hen.
King he was promoted to the see of Chichester ; to
which being consecrated on the sixth day of March
(the third Sunday in Lent) an. 1669, sate there till
the death of Dr. Benj. Laney bishop of Ely, whicli
hapning towards the latter end oi 1674, he was
translated to that see, on the fourth day of March
the same year, with a particular acknowledgment
from his majesty of his steadiness to tlie church,
having kept up the face thereof in the worst of
times. In all the several preferments that he went
thro' from the first to the last, he was first thought
of by his prince or patron, before he himself made
any application whatsoever. While he continuetl in
Cambridge he was a constant preacher, and looked
upon as so unblameable in his life and practice, that
his schismatical and factious adversaries were st)iTy
that they could not possibly fasten the least spot on
him. He was admired by great scholars, as well
abroad, as at home, for his profound divinity, was
[766] noted much also in England for his diffusive cha-
rity ; * for what he had not spent in his life-time by
supplying scholars at Cambridge, by his large en-
dowments and bountiful benefactions in that place,
by his great sums laid out on his sees, as well as
formerly on his livings, by his daily relieving at his
door from his table all sorts of indigent and dis-
tressed persons, and by privately supplying others
with a plentiful hand, he disposed the remainder by
his last will and test, to be laid out for the augmenta-
tion of poor vicariges. Under his name go these
things following,

WILLIAM DURHAM, son of Joh. Durh. of
Willerslcy near (Jam|xlen in Glocostershire, wan
l)om there, educatet! in grammar learning under
one Mr. Sturby who kept a private school at Broad-
way in the same comity, became a student of New
iiui in 1626, aged 15 years, ttxik the degrees in arts,
holy orders, and when alwiit an years .stjinding in
the degree of master, he wa.s made curate to Dr.
Thom. Bunbury rector of S. Mary's church in
Reading. In the beginning of the civil war he left
that place, retired to London, and there, after .some
short stay, was chosen preacher of the rolls in Chan-
cery lane, at which time he t(x>k the covenant.
From thence, by a j)resentation, he went into Berks,
and became rector of Burfield, being about that time
bach, of divinity, and thence was translated to the
rich rectory ofTredington in Worcestershire, which
before, I cannot say immediately, had been enjoyed
by Dr. Will. Smith sometime warden of Wadham
coll. After his majesty's restoration he was ejected
thence to make room for Dr. Jos. Crowther of S.
John's coll. who before had obtained a presentation
thereunto : whereujxjii our author Durham retiring
to London, liveil there for some time without a cure.
At length upon his conformity to the church of
England, sir Nich. Crisj)e presented him to the
rectory of S. Mildred's in Bread-street ' within the
city of London (to which parish, that of S. Mar-
garet iVIoses was joyned after the dreadful fire in
the said city) where he finished his course. He

debts. At 14 years of age, or thereabouts, he was
elected one of the king's scholars of the coll. at
Westm. and in the beginning of the year 1615 he
became student of Ch. C'h. " under tlie tuition of
" Mr. John Wall," where with very great industry
running thro' all the cla.sses of logic and philo.sophy,
he took the degrees in arts. After he had continued
in that royal foundation seven years in the degree
of master, he was invited by Robert earl of Caer-
narvon and his lady to be chaplain in their house,
where he lived till he was 43 years of age, without
having, or seeking, any preferment in the church.
After this, he was nrefer'd to the rectory of Hait-
field in Sussex, wnich, being a sinecure, he ex-
changed with Dr. Rich. Steuart, then clerk of the
closet to his majesty, for the parsonage of Milden-
hall near Marlborough in Wiltshire. But before
he had that charge, he had a prebendship of Ch.
Ch. bestowed on him by the king (to whom he was
chaplain in ord.) an. 1641, which was the only pre-
ferment he ever desired, and of which he gave the
first year's profit to the king, towards the charge of
his wars, which were then commenc'd against him
by a prevalent party of presbyterians in the long
parliament : At the beginning of which he preached
one of the first solemn sermons before the commons,
but so little to their gust and liking, that they com-
manded all the rest of the sermons, but not his, to
be printed. Yet after this, being then doctor of
divinity, he was nominated one of the a.sscmbly of
divines by both houses, as Dr. Prideaux B. of Wor-
cester, Dr. H. Hammond, Sic. were, but neither he,
or either of them, appeared among them. As for
his part, he always remained with his majesty, did
him what service he could, as long as the war con-
tinued. After which he was employed by his ma-
jesty, then a prisoner at Hampton Court, to engage
the university of Oxon not to submit to the illegal
visitation, that had been began, but for the present
intermitted, because of the violent proceedings of the
army. Which affair he managed with such suc-
cess, that the convocation did presently pass an act
for that pui-pose, but with one dissenting voice only,
tlio' they were then under the power of the enemy,
that is, the parliament forces. After this, he was
chosen by the members of the university, with some
other as.sistants named by himself, to negotiate the
making good of their articles which were framed at
the surrender of the garrison of Oxon, to the said
forces : which he did to tliat degree, as to gain time
for the getting in of their rents, and to dispose of
themselves, I mean as many of them as were resolved
not to submit to their new masters. Soon after, he
was one of the first that was deprived of all that he
had in Oxon, or elsewhere, for not submitting to
them, tho' he was offer'd by one of the grandees of
the house of commons, to keep all that he had, with-
out being put to say or do, or subscribe any thing

that was sent for by the king to assist at the treaty
in the isle of Wight ; which proving ineffectual, he
resolved (having first assisted the gallant Arthur
lord Capell, as Ins confessor, before liis execution, in
the beginning of Mar. 1648) to quit his country and
find out the young king, and never to return till he
and the crown and the church were restoreil. With
this resolution he left England in the 51st year of
his age, and found him at the Hague, where he was
graciously received by him. From thence he went
first with liim into France, and from thence with
him to the Scotch treaty at Breda, and there preach'd
the last sermon that the king heard before he went
into Scotland : whitiier being not suffer'd to carry
any of liis own divines with him, he the said Dr.
Morley went thereupon to the Hague, and after
some short stay there, he went with his dearest
friend Dr. Jo. Earle to live at Antweip, where they
continued together in the house of sir Charles Co-
terel master of the ceremonies, for the space of one

?'ear or thereabouts. At which time sir Charles
»eing called thence to be steward to the queen of
Bohemia, and Dr. Earle to attend on his highness
James duke of York then in France, Dr. Morley
continued still in Antwerp with the lady Frances
Hyde (her husband sir Edw. Hyde being then am-
bassador for the king in Spain) and all the time he
was there, which was about three or four years, he
read the service of the church of England twice
every day, catechiz^l once a week, and administred
the commiuiion once a month to all the English in
the town, who would come to it, as he did afterwards
at Breda for 4 years together in the same family.
But betwixt his going from Antwerp and his coming
to Breda, he was invited by the queen of Bohemia
to the Hague to be iier chaplain : And he thereupon
knowing her condition to be ncx;essitous, thought
himself so much therather oblig'd both in con.science
towards God, and in duty to tiie royal family (for
she was sister to king Charles I.) to wait on her,
and accordingly he did, and readily officiated Iwth
in her family, and ui the English church there,
about two years and an half, without expecting or
receiving any salary or gratuity at all for so doing.
There, as in all other places, where he lived, espe-
cially at Breda, he was blest with a retirement full
of satisfaction to himself, and with many opportuni-
ties of doing much good to others also. For besides

'' [As specious as lliis was, he rejected it, detesting even

the constant reading of the prayers of the church,
his catechizing of young persons, his iidministring
the holy sacraments, and his devoutest supplications
for the king and the church in private, he visited
the sick and buried the dead, and relieved many,
whom their lovalty had impoverished. His learned
acquaintance abroad were Andr. Rivet, Dan. Hein-
sius and Claud. Salmasius, whom he often visited ;
to the last of which, then abiding at Leyden, the
king sent our author Morley to give him thanks in
his name for the apology he had published for his
martyr'd father, but not with a purse of gold as Joh.
Milton the impudent Iyer reported. But his ac-
quaintance was more intimate with the famous Sam.
BoL-hart, to whom he wrote a Latin letter from Paris,
declaring his reasons of not coming to the French
congregation : To which Mr. Bochart printed an
answer in Latin the year following. (Samuelis Bo-
charti Epistola,(pia respondetur ad tres Qu t.st'icmes:
De Presbyteratu S^ Epkcoputu, &c. Par. 1650. tw.
was written to Dr. George Morley.) And as he
was zealous for the church, so he was also for his
royal master, witness the large epistle he wrote in
Latin to Triglandius to vindicate his master from
the false aspersion of popery. For his friends at
home (of whom he never lost any but by death
only) were eminent both for parts and (juality : the
chietest of which were I^ucius lord Falkland, and sir
Francis Wenman of Oxfordshire, btith long since
dead, and Edward earl of Clarendon, who died long
after them. Among the clergy were Dr. Rob.
Payne, Dr. H. Hammond and Dr. Rob. Sanderson
(late bish. of Line.) who were all canons of Ch. Ch.
at the same time with him. To these may be added
many more, as Mr. W. Chilliugworth, Dr. Gilb.
Sheldon archb. of Cant. Dr. Earle of SaUsbury, &c.
with the two last of which he kept a constant friend-
ship for above 40 years, and enjoyed the company
of Dr. Earle very often abroad, which made his
banishment less tedious to him. After his majesty's
return, this most worthy person Dr. Morley was
first made dean of Ch. Ch. (being then chapl. to the
dutchess of York) whence, after he had restored
those that had been illegally ejc>cted in 1648, &c.
and had filled up the vacant places, he was called to
be bishop of Worcester, to which see he was con-
secrate ,1 in the abbey church at Westm. on the 28th
of Octob. 1660, and in the beginning of the next
year had the honour to preach the king's coronation
sermon, anil soon after was made dean of the chap-
})el royal in the place of Dr. Sheldon. In 1662 he
was upon the death ofDr. Dujijja translateu ^o the
see of Winchester (confirmed therein 14 May the
same year) where he hath truly verified the saying
that the king gave when he bestowed the said bishop-
rick on him, that he would never be the richer for it.
For besides his expences in building and repairing
his palace at Winchester, he hath laid out much
more than the supplies the parliament gave him in
the act, which impowered him to lease out Waltham [771]

Winchester House in Southwark. He spent StKKW.
in repairing the.castle at Famham, l)etl)re tlie year
1C72, and afterwards spent more, and above 4000/.
in purcliasing Winchester House at Clu^isca to annex
it to the see, wiiieh when he came to, he found not
an house to dwell in, yet afterwards left two fair
ones to his successors. At that time also he had
not purchased one foot of land or lease, as if he had
taken more care to enrich the pof)r than his rela-
tions, and wliat his binclactioii was to the coll. that
gave him education, you may see in //«<. <^- Ant'iq.
Univ. Oxmi. lib. 2. p. 285. a. In the first j'car of
his translation he visited his diocese in pers(m, and
went into the isle of Wi<;ht, where had not been a
bishop before, in the memory of man. In July
1664 he came to Oxon and visited in person those
colleges which of right belonged to him as bishop of
Winchester, was received, and entertained with great
solenmity in all, only in Ch. Ch. coll. finding stub-
borness he bound some to their gcM)d behaviour.
Daniel Agas one of the fellows, who had been edu-
cated there under the presbyterians, accused the
bishop of injustice belVire his face, for granting and
sending letters to the coU. in behalf of Tho. Turner
(son of Dr. Th. Turner) to come in scholar, for
which his impudence he was put out of commons
for three weeks. This most worthy doctor, who
was most famous for his great charity and benefac-
tion while he sate at Winchester, was a person of
approved and throughly tried loyalty, not of the
number of those lukewarm irreligious temponzers,
who had learned politicly to shift and quit their prin-
ciples to make them suit to the times, and so pliably
to tack about, as still to be ready to receive what-
ever revolution and turn of affairs should hapjien,
and by an easy submission to that government which
was uppermo.'it, always to stand fair for promotion
under a succession of contiinied usin-pations, tho' of
a quite different nature and complexion. He was
so firmly settled in, and fixed to, the ch. of England,
that he constantly bore up against, and became im-
pregnable either by the attempting allurements of a
splendid papacy, or the reproachful and ignominious
treatment of the ruder disciplinai-ian party. He
had coui'age enough to own a persecuted church,
and an exiPd prince, and as he vindicated on all
occasions the honour and dignity of the former,
both against the open assaults and batteries of her
professed adversaries, and the more sly and under-
mining insinuations of her jjretended friends ; so did
he act with no less vigour, by leaving no projects
unattempted, which carried in them any reasonable
probability of success, wliereby he might effect his
majesty's restoration to his crown ami just rights:
which altlio' managed with his utmost skill, industry
and best interest, yet fell short of his design. And
as he was a constant adherer to his master in his suf-
ferings, who reposed so great confidence in his ex-
perienced fidehty, as to admit him to the honourable

privacy of his most important and weighty concerns,
so he was upon, and sinei-, the restoration, rewardctl
by him, as I have before told you, for his many
eminent and good services done by himself, anJ,
ujTon his engagement, by others, for the royal cause
and family. He was a great Calvinist, and esteemed
one of the main patrons of those of that persua>ion.
He was a good and picms prelate, who by temf)erance
and a regular exercise did arrive to a good old age,
having enjoyed ea.«e and quiet for many years, since
that time he was forced to eat his bread in foreign
countries. In the 74th year of his age, and after,
he was without any remarkable tlecay, cither in his
limbs or senses. His usual course then was to rise
about 5 of the clock in the morning, winter and
summer, and to go to bed about eleven at night,
and in the coldest mornings never to have a fire, or
warm his bed at night. He eat but once in 24
hours, and had never either gout, stone, stangurj',
or head-ach, but enjoyed almost a constant health
from his infancy, having never kept his bed for
any sickness, but twice only. Afterwards his
grinders began to cease, and those that looketl out
of the windows began t<) be darkned, and other
infirmities followetl to conduct him to his long home,
where, that he might .safely arrive, and that it
might be to him a place of everlasting rest and hap-
piness, he did humbly in his last days beg all good
men's prayers. As for his works of learning, they
are these.

of Magd. ball he was admitted to the same degree
an. 16-t8, being about that time a minister in Salis-
bury. Afterwards settling at Newbury in Berks,
where he was much resorteid to by tliose of tlie jires-
bvtcriiui jx;rsuasion, he was constituted one of the
assistants to tlie conmiissioners of that comity, for
the ejection of such, whom that party and the inde-
[7751 pendents then (165t) called scandalous, ignorant
and insufficient ministers and schoohnasters. After
tlie restoration of his majesty iving Charles II. he
became one of his chai)lains, and a canonry of Wind-
sor was ofFer'd to him, but lie bogling long with
himself, whether he sliould take that dignity or not,
it was at length bestowed on a son of the ch. of
England. Soon after being silenc'd by virtue of
the act of conformity (for he seemed then to hate a
surplice' and the common prayer) he preached in
private to the brethren, but l)eing often disturbed,
and iniprison'd once or twice, he, at length, by the
persuasion of some of his friends, took holy orders
from the hands of Dr. Earle bishoj} of Salislmry, in
the church of S. Peter in the East in Oxon, in
Octob. 1665, with a resolution to be conformable to
the church of England. But finding not prefer-
ment, suitable to his desire, to be conferred u))on
him, and a grand neglect and scorn of the brethren,
he returird to his former opinion (which some then
caird his rags) and preached several times in con-
venticles to the great disturbance of the government,
the peace of Newbury and the neighbourhood.
When the proclamation for toleration or indulgence
of religion was issued out 15 of March 1671, he
became so audacious, that he did not only ])reach

people in their going to chr.rch. Upon the break-
ing out of the popish jilot an. 1678, when then the
fanatics took all advantages to promote their re-
spective interests, he did then appear more jjublic
again to the disturbance of the peace, preached
every Sunday in a conventicle at Ilighcieere in
Hampshire, and generally once in a week at New-
bury before-meiitioird, which is not far off that
Elace. At length upon the breaking out of the pres-
yterian plot in June 1683, he sculk'd and retired
to Ingleficld in Berks, wlicre, as I have been in-
formed, lie constantly, if his licalth permitted him,
frequented the public service of the church of Eng-

of his death. He liath w ritten,

the same subject that Warren had done before.

or thereabouts, where continuing till he was bach,
of arts, was elected into a Yorkshire fellowship of
Magd. coll. In 1648 he submitted to the authority
of the visitors apixiinted by parliament, and in the
year after he became bach, of divinity, and kept
pace with the men then and afterwards in power,
that is, with presbyterians and independents. Alx)ut
the time of his majesty's restoration he was pre-
sented by the president and fellows of his coll. to
the rectory of Stanlake in Oxfordshire, and soon
after, upon an exchange for another in Yorkshire,
was inducted into the rectory of Longworth in

for simony. He hath written and published.

ejecting and settling of ministers according to the
rules then prescribed, but that project taking not
effect, he was appointed one of the commissioners
by Oliver in the latter end of the said year, for the
approbation of public preachers. In June 1654, he
being then fellow of Eaton coll. in great favour with
Oliver (to whom he was chaplain) and entrusted in
several commissions, the then delegates of the uni-
versity ordered that ' he the said Mr. Lockyer some-
time of New inn, and master of arts of 12 years
standing, might have the degree of bach, of divinity
confer'd on him,' but whether he was admitted to
tliat degree, or was ever master of arts of this uni-
versity, it appears not, as it is told you before. In
the latter entl of 1658,' he became provost of Eaton
coll. in the place of Franc. Rouse deceased, was de-
prived of it at his majesty's restoration ; and two
J ears after, when the act of conformity was pub-
shed, he lost an ecclesiastical benefice : so that car-
rying on the trade of ctmventicling and plotting, he
was shrewdly suspected, with Ph. Nye, to have had
a hand in that stupendious tragedy intended to be
acted by the fanatical saints on the king, royal fa^
mily, court and loyal party, in Nov. 1662, for which
George Phillips, Tho. Tongue, &c. suffered death.

ROBERT WOOD was born in the parish of
Pepper-harrow near Grodalming in Surrey, educated
in grammar learning in the sch(X)l at Eaton near
Windsor, was made one of the Eaton }X)stmasters
of Merton coll. in 1642, took the degree of master
of arts seven years after, having a little before sul)-
mitted to the authority of the parliamentarian vi-
sitors, elected fellow of Line. coll. by their order,
dated 19 Sept. 1650, in the place of Thankful
Owen made president of S. John's coll. went after-
wards with the leave of his society into Ireland, and
became a retainer to Henry Cromwell lord lieute-
nant of that kingdom, who sent him as a spy into
Scotland to give him an account how affairs stood
there. Afterwards he returned into England, be-
came one of the first fellows of the coll. at Durham,
founded by Oliver protector an. 1657, a great com-
monwealth's man, and a frequenter of the Rota-
club of Jam. Harrington. After his majesty's re-
storation, he was turn'd out of his fellowship of
Ejnc. coll. by the king's commissioners, and there-
upon going mto Ireland again, he, for lucre sake
(for he was a covetous person) expressed his loyalty
90 much, that he became doctor of phys. there (and
of the law as I have heard) and chancellor of two
diocesses, whereof Meath was one. So that pur-
chasing an estate in that country, which he after-
wards sold to buy one at Sherwill in Essex, he
setded for a time in England, and became teacher
of the blue-coated-children in Ch. Ch. hospital in
London in the art of mathematics and navigation.
At length giving up that place, he went again into

Ireland, and was made one of the commisaoners of
his majesty's revenue, and at length accomptant-
gencral to the commi.ssioners of the sjiid revenue
there, which he held at tlie time of his death, being
then one of the royal society in England. AVUl.

things in mathematics, not yet published ; one piece
whereof he was pleased, out of great friendship, and
for long acquaintance sake, to dedicate to Mr.
George Toilet, a teacher of gentlemen in London
the faculty of mathematics. This Dr. Wood died
at Dublin in Ireland on the ninth day of April in
sixteen hundred eighty and five, aged 63, or there-
abouts, and was buried in St. Michael's church
there, notwithstanding he had desired his friends,
some days before his death, tliat he might be buried
in the church-yard of the parish church where he
should happen to dye, thinking that churches were
the less wholsome for coi-ps being buried in them.

THOMAS OTWAY, son of Humph. Otway
rector of Wolbeding in Sussex, was born at Trottin
in that county, on the 3d of March 1651, educated
in Wykeham's school near Winchester, became a
commoner of Ch. Ch. in the beginning of 1669, lef%

his muse to poetry, but sometimes acted in plays,"

the ingenious, and a comfortable subsistence to him-
self, besides the favour and countenance of Charles
Fitz-Charles commonly called Don Carlos earl of
Plymouth, one of the natural sons of king Charles
II. In 1677 he went in the quality of a cornet,
with the new rais'd English forces designed for
Flanders ; but getting httle or nothing by that em-
ployment, returned with the loss of time to London,
where he continued to the day of his death, by
writing irf plays and little poetical essays. He was
a man of good parts, but yet sometimes fell ' into
plagiary, as well as his contemporaries, and made
use of Shakespear, to the advantage of his purse, at
least, if not his reputation. After his return from
Flanders, which was in a poor condition, Rochester
the biting satyrist brought him into his Session < of
Poets thus :

in Leicestershire, educated there in grammar learn-
ing under Francis Foe vicar of that town, entrcd a
batlcr in Line. coll. in Mich, term, an. 1640, aged
19 years, and on the 31st of July in the year fol-
lowing he was elected one of Rob. Trapp's scholars
in that house : much about which time he being a
constant auditor of tiie sermons of the most learned
and religious primate of Ireland Dr. Usher, de-
livered in AllhaUowes church joyning to his coll. his
affections were so exceedingly wrought ujx>n, that
he was always resolv'd from thenceforth to make
him the pattern of all the rehgious and learned
actions of his life, and therefore ever after he could
not endure those that should in their common dis-
course and writings reflect in the least on that sacred
prelate. Soon after Oxford being garrison'd upon
the breaking out of the rebellion, he bore arms
therein for liis majesty, in the regiment of Henry
earl of Dover, at his own proper cost and charges,
and therefore in 1645, when he was a candidate for
the degree of bach, of arts, he was admitted there-
unto without paying fees. But upon the approach
of the parliamentary visitation he left the university,
went beyond the seas, and became preacher to the
company of English merchants at Roterdam and
Dort, in the place of Henry Tozer deceased. In
1661 lie was admitted bach, of div. and four years
after publishing Observations on the Evanffelists,
did thereby revive his memory so much in his col-
lege, that the society chose him fellow thereof with-
out his knowledge or seeking,* 17 Dec. 1668. In
the year following he proceeded in his faculty, was
elected rector of his college an. 1672, upon the pro-
motion of Dr. Crew to the see of Oxon, and after-
wards was made chaplain in ordinary to his majesty.
In the month of May, an. 1680, he became rector
of Bladon near Wootlstock in Oxfordshire, and
upon the promotion of Dr. Frarapton to the see of
Grloucester, he was nominated dean of that church
in Jan. 1680; in which deanery being installed on
the 30th of Apr. 1681, he gave up Bladon in Feb.
1682. He was a person very well vers'd in books,
was a noted critic, especially in the Gothic and En-
glish Saxon tongue-s, a painful preacher, a good man
and govemour, and one every way wortny of his
station in the church. He hath written,

born in tlie parish of S. Bartholomew in London,
23 August 1602, educated in the coll. school at
Westminster under Dr. John Wilson, became a
commoner of S. John's coll. under the tuition of
Mr. Tho. Walker (afterwards master of Univ. coll.)
in the beginning of the year 1619, took the degrees
in arts, that of master being compleated in 1625, in
which year he went into France and wintered at
Paris. In the two following years he visited most
parts of that nation, and of Italy, and some of Ger-
many, and then returned to London. In 1629 he
went thro' Holland and Gelderlandht to the siege
of Baldoc or Balduck, and thence, by Flushing, to
Bologne and Paris to attend sir Tlio. Edmonds,
embassador extraordinary, to swear the peace at
Fountaine Bleau. During his abode in London he
studied the municipal laws in the Middle Temple,
and in 1631 he was sworn one of the six clerks in
chancery. In the beginning of the civil war he left
London, followed his majesty and the great seal to
Oxon, and thereupon was sequestred of his said
place by the members of pari, sitting at Westminster,
plundred, and lost to an incredible value. After
the surrender of the garrison of Oxon and the de-
clining of the king's cause, he returned to London
and compounded among several hundred of royalists
for his real estate : At which time he l)etook him-
self wholly to his stucUes and lived in a retired con-
dition. In the beginning of the year 1660 he
served as a burgess for the city of Rochester in that
happy parliament that recalled the king, and took
away the court of Wards ; about which time being
restored to his place in chancery, he had the honour
of knighthcxid eonferr'd upon him on the first of
July 1660, being then of Whornplace " in the
" parish of Cuckstone" in Kent, and three years
after was created a baronet. He was a person well
accomplish'd, exact in histories whether civil or pro-
phane, in chronology and in the tongues. Pere
Simon calls him in a preface to a work of his ' le
grand Marsham dc Angleterre,' and monsieur Cor-
caoy the king of France his libr. keeper, and all the
great and learned men of Europe his contempo-
raries, acknowledge him to be one of the greatest
antiquaries and most accurate and learned writer of
his time, as appears by their testimonies under their
hands and seals in their letters to him, which would
make a vol. in fol. He hath written,

Diatriha Chroiwlog'ica. Lond. 1649. quarto.
[Bodl. 4to. M. 61. Art. Seld.] Most of which was
afterwards remitted into the book that follows ;

Chronicus Canon JEgyptmcus, Ebratcus, Grmcus

Art.] This was reprinted in Lower Germany in
qu. with a new index, and preface, wherein are
given to the author very great encomiums by a
foreigner unknown to him. There are many things
worthy to be inserted thence, which, for brevity's
0ake, I shall now pass by. He aJso wrote the

preface set before the first vol. of Monasticon An-
glicanum. Lond. 1655. which he cntit.

nPOriTAAION Johnmih Marshami. Printed in
seven sheets and an half in fol. but much disliked
and disrelish'd by some of the Rom. cath. party, but
why, I cannot tell. He also left behind him at his
death unfinish'd, (1) Canonis Chrimki Liber quin-
tus : sive Imperium Persicum. (2) De Proviiu-iis
Sf Legionibug Romanis. (3) De He nummaria, &c.
At length departing this mortal hfe (at Bushy-hall
in Hertfordshire) on the 25th day of May, in six-
teen hundred eighty and five, his \xx\y was thereupon
conveyed to Cuckstone near Rochester beforemen-
tion'd (where he had an estate) and buried in the
church there.* He left issue behind him, begotten
on the body of Elizabeth daugh. of sir Will. Ham-
mond of S. Albans in East Kent, two sons, viz. sir
John Marsham now of Cuckstone baronet, who is
writing The History of England, much more exact,
as 'tis said, than any yet extant, and sir Robert of
Bushy-hall knight, wlio succeeded his father in the
place of six clerk. In the possessitm of the first of
these two issir John's library, which tho' diminished
by the fire that hapned in London 1(566, yet it is
considerable and highly to be valued for the exqui-
site remarks in the margin of most of the Ixkjks ;
and in the possession of the other is his cabinet of
Greek medals, as curious as any private collection
whatsoever.

ANDREW ALLAM, the son of a sufficient
plebeian of both his names, by Bridget Derling his
wife, was bom at Garsingdon near to, and in the
county of, Oxon, in April 1655, and baptized there
on the 23d of the same month, educated in grammar
learning in a private school at Denton in the parish
of Cudesdon near to his native place, under a noted
master named Will. Wildgoose mast, of arts of
Brasen-n. coll. (much fani'd for his dexterity in pe-
dagogy) became a batler of S. Edmund's hall in
Easter term 1671 ; where had it not been his mis-
fortune to fall under the tuition of a careless and
crazed person, he might have prov'd a protligy in
several sorts of learning. After he had taken the
degrees in arts, he became a tutor, moderator, a
lecturer in the chappel, and at length vice-principal
of his house. In all which offices he behaved him-
self much to tlie credit, honour and flourishing
thereof In 1680, at Whitsontide, he entretl into
holy orders, and in 83 he was one of the masters of
the schools, which last place he executed with very
great judgment and prudence. He was a person of
eminent virtues, was sober, temperate, mwlerate and
modest even to example. He understood the con-
troversial writings between conformists and noncon-
formists, protestants and papists, far beyond his
years, which was advanc'd by a great and happy

[785] memory > And I am persuaded had he not been
taken off" liy the said offices, he would have gone
beyond all of his time and age in those matters, and
might have proved an useful and signal n)einl)er to
tile church of England, for which he had a most
zealous resjiect. lie understood the world of men
well, authors better, and nothing but years and
experience were wanting, to make him a compleat
walking library. His works that are extant are
(1) The learned preface, or epistle to the reader,
with a detlicatory epistle in the printer s name, set
before The Ep'istle Congratulatory of Lysimaihus
is'icanor, &c. to the Covenanters of Scotland, &c.

writing and composure, containing corrections in,
and adcht. to, a book entitled — Anglice Notil'ta ;
or, the present State of England, Sec. written by
one ' who had been also of S. Edm. hall. They
were made by Mr. Allam in the edit, of that book,
printed at Lond. 1684. and were all, as I presume,
inserted in that edition which came out at tliat place
in 1687, but without any acknowledgement (with
shame be it spoken) from the author of that Noiit'ia,
who neither returned those thanks that he ought,
out of common civility, to have done, or granted
him his company or acquaintance, when he went to
Lond. to desire it, purjxjsely to communicate such
things by word of mouth, which he could not, with-
out great trouble, by his pen, concerning various
matters in that book. (5) He also Ix-gan, and
made divers additions to Helvicus his Historical
and Chronological Tlwatre, as occasion required,
and would have quite finished the Supplement at
the end, from 1660 to 1685, had he not been cut
off" by cruel death. These things were printed
with that author at Lond. 1687. fol. But the reader
is to understand, that whereas there was a column
in that book of the said edition 1687, made to con-
tain the names of the famous Jesuits, from the first
foundation of their order, to the year 1685, which
was not in any of the Latin editions, 'twas not done
by Allam, but by a busy body, nor that passage
under the year lo78 which runs thus. Titus Oates
discovers a pretended Popish Plot. (6) He had
laid the foundation of a Notitla Ecclesice Angli-
cancE ; wherein he would have spoken of the found-
ation of all catliedrals, with a touch of their statutes

and customs.* Which done, to set down the names
of the present bishop, dean, aichdeacon, canons and
officers of each cathedral, but death also prevented
the finishing this. He also many times lent his
assisting hand to the author of this present work,
especially as to the Notitia of certain modern writers
or our nation, while the said author was day and
night drudging after those more ancient. For tlie
truth is (which hath been a wonder to him since
his death) he understood well what he wanted and
what would be fit for him to be brought into this
work, which none else in the university could (as he
and the author knew full well to their great re-
luctancy) or would give any assistance or encourage-
ment. Further it must not be forgotten that he
translated into English, The Life of Iphicrates,
written in Latin by Corn. Nepos, and remitted into
the book of Uves of that author, translated by several

Oxford hands, Oxon. 1684. oct. p. 99, &c. At

length after a great deal of fear of, and avoidance
from, the disease called the small-pox, he was in
unseasonable weather overtaken by it : so that being
not able to overcome its encounters, he did surrender
up his spotless soul (being too worthy for this world
and the people he lived with) and was wedded to his
saviour Jesus Christ, on the 17th of June (about
noon) in sixteen hundred eighty and five : where-
upon his lx)dy was buried the same day, late at
night, at the west end of the church of S. Peter in
the East in Oxon, under the south wall, joyning
on the south side of the tomb-stone of SUv. AVood.

ROBERT WHITEHALL, son of Richard
Whitehall sometime bach, of div. of Ch. Ch. after-
ward rector of Agmundcsham commonly called
Amersham and of Addington in Bucks, was born at
Amersham, educated mostly in Westminster school
under Mr. Richard Busby, became student of
Christ Church in 1644, or thereabouts, ejected thence
by the parliamentarian visitors in 1648 for giving
tliis answer to, when required of, them, whether he
would submit to their authority.

If I submit, the king shall know it.

But he cringing afterwards to his country-men
and neighbours, the Ingoldsbies, especially to Rich.

the part of a mimic and buffoon purposely to make
him merry) he was, upon submission made to the
committee for regulating the univ. of Oxon, put in

on the physic Hne, and by virtue of the letters of
Rich. Cromwell chancellor of this univ. ofOxon, he
was actually created bach, of physic in 1657. " In
" August that year he had leave from the society of
" Merton coll. to go into Ireland at the desire of
" Henry Cromwell (to teach a school.)" Since which
time he made divers sallies into the practice of
physic, but thereby obtained but httle reputation,
and lesser by his poetry, to which he much pre-
tended, having been esteemed no better than a meer
jwetaster and time-serving poet, as these things fol-
lowing partly shew.

being then, as since, generally reported to be his ;
and he would never positively deny it. The occa-
sion of the writing of it was this, viz. That an act
having not been solemnized for several years before,
it became such a novelty to the then students of the
university (most of which had been put into places
by the visitors) that there was great rudeness com-
mitted by them and the concourse of people in get-
ting into places and thrusting out strangers, durmg
all the time of that solemnity, in S. Mary's church.
Whereupon the vice-chancellor Dr. Greenwood of
Brasen-n. a severe and choleric governor, was forced
to get several guards of musquetiers out of the pari,
garrison then in Oxon, to keep all the doors and
avenues, and to let no body in, only such whom the
vicech. or his deputies appointed. There was then
great quarrelling between the scholars and soldiers,
and thereupon blows and bloody noses followed.

things would terminate, he withdrew and acted
little or notliing during the times of usurpation.
After his majesty's restoration, he retired to the
court, and in 1662 was made lord privy seal in the
place of William lord Say deceased ; but giving
not that content which was expectetl, he was sent
into Ireland to be lord lieutenant there, in Sept.
1669, and his government being disliked, he was
recalled in May following. In Octob. 1679 he was
made lord president of his majesty's council u}X)n

soon after he was made earl of Radnor. He hath
written,

gromided on Eccles. 1. 2. Lond. 1673. oct. and
one, or more books, as I have been inform'd, fit for
the press. He died at Chelsea near London on the
17th day of July in sixteen hundred eighty and five ;
whereupon, about eight days after, his body was
conveyed to Lanhedriock near Bodmin in Cornwall,
and buried in the church there.

ARTHUR ANNESLEY, son of sir Francis
Annesley baronet, lord Movmt-Norris and viscount
Valentia in Ireland, was born in Fish-shamble street
in S. John's parish within the city of Dublin, on the
tenth day of July, an. 1614, became a fellow com-
moner ot Magd. coll. in 1630, or thereabouts, con-
tinued there under the tuition of a careful tutor three
} rears or more, and having laid a sure foundation in
iterature, to advance his knowledge in greater mat-
ters, he returned to his native country for a time.
In 1640 he was elected ° knight for Radnorshire to
serve in that parUament which began at Westm. 3
Nov. 1640, but his election being questioned, Charles
Price esq; then elected also, was voted by the com-
mittee of elections to stand as more lawfully elected,
yet soon after he left that parliament and followed
the king to Oxon, where he sate in that called by his
majesty. In the time of the rebellion our author
Annesley was entrusted by both houses of parlia-
ment, or appointed by them one of the commissioners
for the orclering and governing the affairs in Ireland,
iin. 1645 or thereabouts, and became ' instrumental

England, complied wth the j)arliament, OI. Crom-
well and his party, took the oath called the engage-
ment,^ as before he had the covenant : But when he
saw that king Charles II. would be restoretl to his
kingdoms, he then, when he perceived that it could
not be hindred, struck in ana liecame instrumental
for the recalling of him home, as many of his per-
suasion did, and thereupon they sixjthed themselves
up and gave it out publicly, that they were as in-
strumental in that matter, as the best of the royal
n, nay they stuck not to say, tliat if it was not
_, leir endeavours his majesty would not have
been restored. At that time ^ he was made a privy
counsellor, and, to shew his zeal for his majesty s
cause, he procured himself to be put in among the
number of those justices or judges to sit first at
HicksVHall and afterwards at the Old Baily on tho
regicides, where one of them, named Adrian Scrope,
did reflect upon him, as 'twas by all there present
supposed, and of others too, as having before been
misled as well as himself, as I have told you in An-
thony earl of Shaftsbury, under the year 1682. In
the year following (1661) a little before his majesty's
coronation, he was by letters patent bearing date on
the 20th of April created a baron of this Kingdom
by the title of lord Annesley of Newport-paynel in
Bucks (of which town one Thorn. Annesley great
uncle to sir Franc. Annesley before-mention'd had
been high constable) as also a count by the title of
earl of Anglesey, as coming more near to his name,
than another place, or town. Afterwards he enjoy-
ing certain offices of trust, was, at length, made lord
privy seal about the middle of Apr. 1673, and kept
it till August 1682, at which time he was deprived
of it (some have thought unjustly) for several rea-
sons, as I shall anon tell you : whereupon retiring
to his estate at Blechingdon in Oxfordshire, which
he, some years before, had purchased, vindicated
himself by writing an account of the whole proceed-
ing of that affair, as I shall tell you by and by.
He was a person very subtil, cunning and rcserv d
in the managery and transacting his affairs, of more
than ordinary parts, and one who had the command
of a very smooth, sharp and keen pen. He was
also much conversant in Ixxjks, ana a great Cal-
vinist, but his known countenance and encourage-
ment given to persons of very different persuasions
in matters of religion, hath left it somewhat diffi-
cult, at least in some men's judgments, peremptorily
to determine among what sort of men, as to point

of religion, he himself ought in truth to have been
ranked. Yet it is to lie observed that lie did not
dispense his favours with an equal hand to all these,
the dissenting party having still received the far
largest share of them, who did all along generally
esteem him and his interest securely their own,
especially after the popish conspiracy broke out,
when then, out of policy, he avoided and shook off
his numerous acquaintanceof papists, as it was noto-
riously observed by them, and of other pretenders
to pofitics, meerly to save themselves, and to avoid
the imputation of being popishly affected. As for
his published writings they arc these,

on the 17th of June following: which being read
openly before the council then sitting at Hampton-
Court, his ma"), declared that he would hear the
matter thereof in council ; and did order that a
copy of the said representation should be deli-
vered to Anglesey, and that he appear and make
answer thereunto, at a council to be holden at
Whitehall, on the 23d of the said month. In
obedience to this, Anglesey, tho' much troubled with
the gout, appeared, made a short speech to his ma-
jesty in vindication of himself, bandied the matter
with Ormond, and then put in his answer to Ormond's
representation or complaint against him. These
things being done, another council was held 13 July,
at wliich time Orinond delivering a paper to the
Ijoard containing' several charges against him, it was
tlien ordered that a copy of it should be sent to
Anglesey, and that he return an answer thereunto
on the 20th of the said month, at Hampton-Court.
But no council being then held (notwithstanding
Anglesey had made answer to Ormond's particular
charges against him the next day) the matter was
deferred till the 27th of the same month. Another
council being therefore there held on that day, the
charges and answers were debated. Which done,
and the lords concerned being withdrawn, this reso-
lution passed by the council on Anglesey's Letter to
the Earl of Castlehnvcn, viz. That ' it was a scan-
dalous libel against his late majesty, against his now
majesty, and against the government.' When the

tiarties, or lords concern'd, were call'd in again, the
ord chancellor only told Anglesey that the king [791]
conceived him faulty in the clause, pag. 32. of the
said letter to the earl of Castlehaven, wherein the
committees of tlie parliament of Ireland were men-
tion'd as having been in the intrigues of the popish
faction at court. After which a farther hearing was
appointed to be on the 3d of August following, but
Anglesey continuing extream ill of the gout, and
finding himself prejudg'd by the lords of the council
on the 27th of July, he wrote a letter on the 2d of
Aug. to his majesty ; which being openly read in
council the next day, he did in some manner (as 'twas
said) resent it for some passages therein, yet nothing
appear'd entred to be done thereupon. Afterwards
the earl of Castlehaven (James Toucliet) was called
in several times and question'd about his Memoires ;
which he acknowledging to be his, the said liook in
conclusion was by his majesty and council judged to
be a scandalous libel against the government. Oh
the 9th of the said month of Aug. 1682, the privy
seal, by command from his majesty, was taken away
from Anglesey by sir Leolin Jenkins principal
secretary of state, without any farther hearing, arid
was given to George marquess of Halifax. Besides
the aforesaid Letter of the Earl of Anglesey writ-
ten to the Earl of Castleliaven, cmitaining Obser-
vations, &c. was another book published entit. Brief

" suasion of a parliament captain, who had a farm
" in Cleeve, return to his old cure at Cleeve, where
I find him in 1660, deluding himself then with
the hopes of being rector thereof after the death
of the ancient incumbent then u|X)n the place.
But the rector and those hojies being deaa and
vanished, he continued his ministry there in the
vacation of that living till the memorable Bartho-

" with expectation of an idle dispensation for his

JOHN DOLBEN, son of Will. Dolben D. D.
was Iwrn at Stanwick in Northamptonshire, of which
his father was rector, elected a student of Ch. Ch.
from VVestm. school, an. 1640, aged 15 years, bore
arms for a time in Oxon, when made a garrison for
his majesty; and having made proof of his courage
in that service, he was appointed an ensign, and at
length a major in one of the armies belonging to his
majesty; but after the surrender of Oxford, the
declining of the king's cause, and his army dis-
banded, he returned to Christ Church again, and
took the degree of master of arts in 1647, and the
next year was ejected from his student's place by
the visitors appointed by parliament. Soon after,
he took to wife Catherine daughter of Ralph Shel-
don (elder brother to Dr. Gilb. Sheldon then lately
warden of Alls, coll.) with whom he lived during
the time of usurpation in S. Aldate's parish in Oxon,
and assisted Mr. Job. Fell in keeping up the orders
and ceremonies of the church of England in a pri-
vate house opposite to Merton coU. cburch. After
the king's restoration he was installed canon of Ch.
Ch. 27 Jul. 1660, in the place of John Pointer then
ejected, and soon after was created doctor of divi-
nity : At which time the uncle of his wife being
bishop of London and in great favour with the king,
he was upon his recommendation, deservedly made
not only archdeacon of London in the place of Dr.
Tho. Paske deceased, but afterwards clerk of the
closet and dean of Westminster, upon the promo-
tion of Dr. Earle to the see of Worcester ; in which
last dignity he was installed 5 Dec. 1662. In 1666
he was made bishop of Rochester in the place of Dr.
Warner deceased, to which see being consecrated in
the archb. chappel at Lambeth on the 25th of Nov.
the same year, he had then liberty allowed him by
his majesty to keep his deanery in commendam.
Afterwards he became almoner to his majesty,
and at that time and before, that place was manag'd
to the benefit of the poor with great justice and inte-
gi'ity. At length upon the death of Dr. Sterne
archb. of York, he was, by virtue of the king's conge
d'eslire, elected to that see 28 July 1683, and soon
after, viz. Aug. 16, being translated thereunto in
the archb. chappel at Lambeth, was on the 23d of
the same month enthronized. He was a man of a
free, generous, and noble disposition, and withal of
a natural bold and happy eloquence. As he imi-

tated his uncle bishop Williams in the greatness of
his parts and abilities, so he by a certain hereditary
right succeodecl him in iiis honours, lx)th in his
deanery of Westminster, and his archbishoprick of

Francis Turner succeeded him in Rochester, and
Dr. Tho. Sprat in the deanery of Westminster:

WILLIAM COVENTRIE, fourth son of Tho.
lord Coventrie, sometime keeper of the great seal of
England, by Elizabeth his wife, daughter of John
Alderley of London, was born either in the city or
suburb of London, became a gent. com. of Queen's
coU. in the beginning of the year J 642, aged 14
years ; but leaving that house without a degree, he
travelled beyond the .seas, and at his return seemed
to adhere to the cause of king Charles II. After
his restoration he wjls electetl a burgess for the town
of Great Yarmouth in Norfolk, to .serve in that par-
Uament which began at Westm. 8 May 1661, and
two years after was actually created doctor of the
civil law of this university, being about that time
secretary to his royal highness James duke of York.
In 1665, Jun. 26, he received the honour of knight-
hood from his majesty, and was afterwards sworn
one of his majesty's most honourable privy council,
being then esteemed, upon all accounts, qualified for
noble employments ; for at that time, it I mistake

estate in money, which ever after kept up his port
according to Ins quality. But at length behaving
liimself displeasing to the said duke, when there was
need of hmi, he was removed from his service :
whereupon settling at Minster Lovel near Whitney
in Oxfordshire, became much respected by the neigh-
bouring gentry ; for whose sake, he was the first
that found out a way for the ease of him, or them,
that should bear the office of shrievelty : For whereas
before, it was usual for the high-sheriff to expend
four or five hundred pounds ere he could be quit of
his office, he then (in Octob. 1675) by certain arti-

Vol. IV.

In 1648 he was tum'd out of liis place by the par-
liamentarian visitors, being then in holy orders ;
from which year, to the king's restoration, ho sjx-nt
his time in Oxon in a retired and .studious wmdition,
partly in the lo<lgings of his brother-in-law Mr. Tho.
Willis in Canterbury quadrangle pertaining to Ch.
Church, and afterwaras partly in liis house situate
and being over-against Merton coll. church ; wherein
he and others kept up the devotions and orders of
the churcli of England, administrcd the sacrament
and other duties to the afflicted royalists then re-
maining in Oxon. After tlic king's restoration he
was installed canon of Ch. Ch. in the place of Ralph
Button ejected, on the 27th of July 1660, and dean
of the said church on the 30th of Nov. following,
being then one of his majesty's chaplmns in ordi-
nary, and doctor gf divinity by actual creation.
By his constant residence in Oxon in the time of
usurpation, he could not otherwise but behold with
grief^ to what a miserable condition the whole uni-
versity, and in particular those of his quondam coll.
were reduced to as to principles in religion, and he
knew that things could not be reformed suddenly,
but by degrees. His predecessor Dr. Morley, iii
that short time that he governed the coll. restored
the members thereof then living, that had been
ejected in 1648, and such that remained factious
Dr. Fell either removed or fixed in loyal principles ;
yet when the organ and surplice were- restored,
there were not wanting those that to tlie great con-
cern and resentment of the dean, Dr. Dolbcn, Dr.
Allestree, and others, us'd both of them with con-
tempt and indignity. As by his unwearied diligence
he endeavour'd to improve his coll. with learning
and true religion, so also to adorn it with buildings ;
for no sooner he was setled, but he took upon him a
resolution to finish Wolsey's great quadrangle. The
north side of it which was left void and open in Wol-
sey's time, was began to be supplied with buildings
suitable to the rest of the quaai'angle, by his father
Dr. S. Fell, and was by him tlie coll. and benefactors,
carried on to the top, and had all the frame of timber
belonging thereunto laid ; but before the inside
could be finished and the top covered with lead, the
civil war began. In that condition it continued ex-
}X)s'd to weather till the reformers took place, who
minding their own concerns, and not at all the public,
took the timber away and employed it for their riyQ/»i

Crivate use. This imperfect biiildiing, I say, was, L'**"]
y the benefaction of Dr. Job. Fell, the then present
canons, and others of the house, as also by the bene-
faction " of certain generous persons that had been
formerly members thereof and of others, quite
finished for the use of two canons, together with that
part between the imperfect building on the north
side of the great gate, and the N. W. corner of the
said quadrangle. The next fabrick that he under-
took was that in the chaplain's quadrangle, and the

long range of bulldinfj jovuing thereunto on the east
side. For \vherea.s Phihp King auditor of Cli. Cli.
had built very fair lodgings of poiish'd free-stone
ilbout 1638, in, or very near that place, whereon the
said long range was afterwards erected, they were by
carelesness burnt on the 19th of Nov. 1669, and
with them the south ekst corner of the said qua-
drangle, liesides part of the lo<lgings belonging to
the canon of the sec. stall, which was blown up with
gun-jx)wder to prevent the spreading of the hre to-
wards the library, treasury and church. These
buildings being IJurnt and blown up, were by the
care of Dr. Fell rebuilt, viz. the east side of the chap-
lain's quadrangle, with a straight jiassage under it,
leading from the cloister into the field, whicii was
finished in 1672, and the long range before-nien-
tion'd, in 1677 and 78. The third fabrick, which
by his care was also erected, were the lodgings be-
longing to the canon of the third stall, situate and
being in the passage leading from Wolsey's qua-
drangle, to that of Peckwater, which were finishing
in 1671'. And lastly the stately tower over the great
and principal gate next to Fishstreet, began on the
old foundation (laid by Wolsey) in June 1681, and
finished in November 1682, mostly with the moneys
of benefactors, whose arms are with great curiosity
ingraven in stone on the roof that parts the gate-
house and the belfry. To this tower was translated
from the campanile of the church, the bell called
Great Tom of Christ Church, after it had been
several times cast, an. 1683, and on the great festival
of the 29th of May 1684, it first rang out, between
8 and 9 at night ; from which time to this, a servant
toles it every night at 9, as a signal to all scholars
to repair to their respective colleges and halls, as he
did, while 'twas in the campanile. In 1666, 67, 68,
and part of 69, Dr. Fell was invested with the office
of vicechancellor, in which being settled, his first
care was to make all degrees go in caps, and in public
assemblies to appear in hoods. He also reduced
the caps and gowns worn by all degrees, to their
former size or make, and ordered all cap-makers and
taylors to make them so ; which for several years
afier were duly observed, but now, especially as to
gowns, an equal strictness is not observed. His
next care was to look narrowly towards the per-
formance of public exercise in the schools, and to
reform several abuses in them ; and because coursing
in the time of Lent, that is the endeavours of one
party to run down and confute another in disputa-
tion, did commonly end in blows, and domestic
quarrels (the refuge of the vanquish'd side) he did
by his authority annul that custom. Since that
time as those public disturbances, which were the
Bcandal of the university, did cease ; so likewise that
vehemence and eagerness in disputations which was
increas'd by those intestine broils having lost the in-
centives of^malice, feuds and contentions did in great
measure abate, and at length fall. However Dr.
Fell, that he might as much as possibly support the

exercises of the university, did frequent examinations
for degrees, hold the examiners up to it, and if they
would, or could, not do their duty, he would do it
himself to the pulling down of many. He did also
sometimes repair to the ordinaries (commonly called
wall lectures from the paucity of auditors) and was
frequently jjresent at tnose exercises called disputa-
tions in Austins, where he would make the disputants
begin precisely at one, and continue disputing till 3
of the clock in the afternoon ; so that upm his ap-
pearance more auditors were then present, than since
nave usually appeared at those exercises. It was his
endeavour before, and while, he was vicechancellor,
as also the endeavours of some of his friends and
fellow-sufferers, to reduce the luiiversity to that
manner and form, as to preaching, disputing, disci-
pline, opinion, &c. as 'twas while Dr. Laud was
chancellor thereof; but because of the twenty years
interval, wherein a most strange liberty, l(x»sness in
manners and religion had taken place, they could
not do it; and I remember that many made it a
ridicuk)us thing, that he and they should in the
least think of such a matter, which a whole age
could not do, nor that also, unless a succession of
gootl kings came, that should be of the same mind
and opinion with Charles I. of ever blessed me-
mory. He was a most excellent disciplinarian, kept
up the exercise of his house severely, was admirable
in training up youth of noble extraction, had a fa-
culty in it pecuhar to him, and was much delighted
in it. He would constantly on several mornings in
the week take his rounds in his coll. go to the cham-
bers of noblemen and gent, commoners, and examine
and see what progress they made in their studies.
He constantly frequented divine service in public
four times in a day, and had, besides, prayers twice
every day in his own family. He . ^^^^ ^ „,„^,
was * the most zealous man of hts zealous favourer
time Jbr the church of England, of the ch. of Eng-
and none, that I yet know of, did '«'"/• First edit.
go beyond him, in the performance of the rules be-
longing tliereunto. He was a great encourager and
promoter of learning in the university, and of all
public works belonging thereunto, witness not only
the edifices before-mentioned, but his solicitation for
the building of the public theatre, to the end that
the house of God might be kept free for its own
use: He likewise advanced the learned press, and
improv'd the manufacture of printing in Oxford in
such manner as it hatl been designed before by that

fiublic-spirited person Dr. Laud archb. of Canter-
)ury ; and certainly it would have been by him ef-
fected, as other matters of greater concern relating
to religion and learning, had not the iniquity of the
restless presbyterians prevented him. He was also
a person of a most generous spirit, undervalued
money, and disburs'd it so freely upon learned,

f)ious and charitable uses, that he left sometimes for
limself and his private use little or nothing. He
was an eager defender and maintainer of the univer-

sity and its privileges (especially while he executed
the office of vicechancellor) against the oppugners
of them, and always endeavour'd to advance its li-
berties ; for which he often gained the ill opinions of
the citizens. He was a bold and resolute man, and
did not value what the generality said or thought
of him so that he could accomplish his just and
generous designs : which being too many to effect,
was the chief reason of shortning his days. His
charity was so great that he was a husband to the
afflicted widow, a father to the orphan, and a tender
parent to poor children. He constantly allowed an
yearly pension to a poor man of S. Thomas's parish
in the suburbs of Oxon, purposely that he snould
teach gratis 20 or 24 poor children of that parish
to read; some of which he afterwards bound ap-
prentices or made scholars. He was a person of
f^r ,, • great morals and virtues, spent his

time in celibacy, * " and was never
" known to be an admirer of
" women, unless it were for their
" virtues." On the 8th' of Jan. 1675 he was elected
bishop of Oxon by the chapter of Ch. Ch. by virtue
of a conge d'e-slire sent to them from his majesty,
and on the sixth of Febr. following, being then
Shrove Sunday, he was consecrated in the chappel
of the bishoj) of Winchester at Chelsea near Lon-
don ; at which time liberty was given to him to keep
his deanery in commendam,' purposely to keep him
in his coll. that he might do farther gowd therein,
and in the university. No sooner was he setled
in his see, but he betook himself to the rebuilding
the palace belonging thereunto, at Cudesden near
Oxon ; whereupon examining what had been done
in order to it by any of his predecessors, which was
no considerable matter, he undertook and finished
it, as I have told you in the second vol. col. 895^ yet
enjoyed but a little time in it. As for his works
pertaining to learning, they are these,

Pr. 1682. fol. in the printing house joyning on the
east side of the theatre, erected at the charge of the
university of Oxon on the motion of Dr. Fell, an.

He also translated into English Of the Unity of the
Church. Printed also in the same hou.se 1681. qu.
Written originally by S. Cyprian. See more of his
works in Pat. Young in the Fasti vol. i, col. 308.
and in Ger. Langbame vol. iii. col. 447. and Tho.
Willis vol. iii. col. 1048. Dr. Fell also pubhshed or
reprinted every year while he was dean of Ch. Ch,
viz. from 1661 to the time of his death, a book, com-
monly a classical author, against new-years tide' to
distribute among the students of his house. To
which books he either put an epistle, or running
notes, or corrections. These I have endeavoured
to recover, that the titles might be known and here
set down, but in vain. The first piece which he
published of the incomparable author of The whole
Duty of Man, was The Ladies Calling; before
which he put an epistle to the reader, giving an ac-
count after what a private manner the copy thereof,
accompanied with a letter, was conveyed to his
hands. This epistle is left out in the folio edit,
of that author's works, as also Dr. Hammond's
epistle before The whole Duty of Man, and that of
Dr. Humph. Henchman beifore The Gentleman^s
Calling, which two books had been published by
the said doctors. Dr. Fell also published in the
year 1675 two other pieces written by the same au-
thor, viz. The Government of the Tongue, and The
Art of Contentment, and last of all TTie lively
Oracles given to us, &c. which was first printed at
Oxon. 1678. oct. In 1684 all the works of the said
excellent author were printed together in a pretty
large folio, and fair character, at Oxon and London.

after it) make the first jMirt, which is printed at
London, and the four pieces above-named make the
second part, printed at Oxon. Before the wliole
volume IS placed a general preface of Dr. Fell's com-
position ; wherein among other things he points at
no less than five spurious pieces, which Iiave ex-
presly, or by a designed implication boldly usurp'd
on the name and authority of this unknown cele-
brated author. In this edition of his works com-
f)leat, Dr. Fell hath inserted in the margin of the
bur last pieces, which make the second part of the
said vol. (if not too, of Tfie Gent. Calling, and The
Decay of Christian Piety) the heads and contents
of each .section, with useful marginal abbreviations,
which were till then wanting in all the parts, except
only in The whole Duty of Man. He caused also
at his own proper charge the Hist, and Antiq. of
the Univ. of Oxon, to be translated into Latin, and
kept two men ' in pay for doing it, besides what he
did himself, which was considerable, and the author,
which was less : And being so done he caused it, at
his own charge also, to be printed with a good cha^
racter on good paper ; but he taking to himself li-
berty of putting in and out several things according
to his own judgment, and those that he emplcnfd
being not careful enough to carry the whole design
in their head as the autltor would have done ; it is
desired that the autJurr may not he accountable Jbr
any thing which was inserted by him ; or be cen-
sur''d for any useless repetitions or omissions of his
agents under him. At length this most godly,
learned and zealous person, having brought his
Ixxly to an ill habit and having wasted his spirits by
too much zeal for the public,' he surrendred up his
pious soul to God, to tne great loss of learning, and
of the whole university, about three of the clock in
the morning of the tenth of July (being then Satur-
day) in sixteen hundred eighty and six, leaving then
behind him the general character of a learned and
pious divine, and of an excellent Grecian, Latinist
and philologist, of a great assertor of the church of
England, of another founder of his own college, and
of a patron of the whole university. He was buried
on the 13th day of the same month in the divinity
chap, which is the isle most northward from the
choir of the cathedral of Ch. Ch. in a little vault
built of brick, under the dean's seat on the right
hand, and under the seats adjoyning eastward : His

' [He was a man of great strictness in the course of his
life, and of much devotion. He was a little too much heated
in the matter of our disputes with the dissenters, but as he
was among the first of our clergy that apprehended the design
of bringing in popery, so he was one of the most zealous
against it. He had much zeal for reforming abuses, and
managed it perhaps with too much heat, and in too peremp-
tory a way. Burnet's Hist, of his own Timc.'^

monument long since promised by his executors, is
yet to be expected.

in the next year was elected student thereof. Af-
terwards he took tlie degrees in arts, was music- [800]

WILLIAM GOULD was born of genteel pa^

Wiltshire, entred a com. of Oriel coll. 19th of Alay
1658, where being extravagant in his life and con-
versation, was forc'd thence, but taking up in time,
and making a thorough reformation in himself, ob-
tained the chancellor's letters for accumulating the
degrees in arts, an. 1666, wherein I find this cha-
racter of him, that ' he is a man of very good parts
and learning and well qualified to do service in the
church,' &c. But whether he was admitted bach,
or master of arts, it appears not. About that time
being in holy orders, he became rector of Kenn near
Exeter, a most loyal and orthcxlox person and a
good preacher. He hath published,

THOMAS JACOMBE son of Joli. Jae. was
born at Burton Lazars near to Melton Mowbray in
Leicestershire, became cither a batler or a com-
moner of Magd. hall in Easter term, an. 1640, aged
1 8 years, left it ujwn the eruption of the civil wars,
went to Cambridge, and, taknig the covenant, be-
came fellow of Trin. coll. there,^ in the pL-ice of a
loyalist ejected ; and having the degree of master of
arts in that university conferred on him, became a
person of high repute, (as one* of his jiersua-sion
tells us) for his good life, good learning and excel-
lent gravity, greatly beloved of the then master,
who lov'd an honest man and a good scholar with
all his heart. About that time taking orders ac-
[8011 cording to the prcsbyterian way, he retired t<j Lon-
don, and much alwut the same time that he became
minister of S. Martin's church joyning to Ludgate,
he liecamc one of the assistants to the conmiissioners
of London for the ejecting of such whom the faction
then called scandalous, ignorant and insufficient mi-
nisters and schoolmasters. From that time to his

one of those zealots, who, by act of parliament, were
appointed approvers of ministers according to the
prcsbyterian way, before they were to be settled in
church livings ; but that being soon after laid aside
upon his majesty's restoration, he himself was ejected
from S. Martin's and laid aside also for noncon-
formity at Bartholomew tide in 1662, he being
about that time doct. of divinity. Afterwards he
followed the trade of conventicling, for which he was
brought several times into trouble, and at length
became chaplain to the countess of Exeter, in whose
service he died. He hath extant.

" lowing, u|x>n the murder of his father, he became
" duke, marq. and earl of Bucks, &c. After he had
" been carefully trained u]) under several tutors, he
" was sent to Cambridge tor a time, and afterwards
" travelletl with his brother the lord Francis under
" the conduct of Will. Aylesbury esq; son of sir
" Tho. Aylesbury, bait. After liis return, which
" was after the time that the grand rebellion broke

" then there, entred into Ch. Ch. and had a tutor
" allotted to him, being then 15 years of age, but
" whether he wore the gown of a nobleman I can-
" not say, because most of the junior scholars hatl
" thrown off their gowns to serve his majesty within

withdrew and absconded : Whereupon on the 8th
of March the same year his majesty issued out a
proclamation for his discovery and apprehension,
but for the present in vain. At length yielding
lumself, and making an humble submission to his
majesty, his majesty did on the 13th of Sept-
1667, receive him into his favour and restored
him to his place in the council and in the bed-
chamber. In the beginning of June 1671 he was
installed chancellor of the university of Cam-
bridge, and in the same year was sent ambassador
to the French king (he lacing then accounted the
most vain and fantastical jwrson of any nobleman
' in the nation to please that great prince) who
' takiiv a liking to his person and errand, enter-
' tained him very nobly for several days together,
' and in conclusion gave him his sword and belt set

■ with pearls and diamonds to the value of 40000
' pistoles,' as the account of his entertainment,

■ which I have seen in MS, attests. About the
' same time our king seeing that whilst he got no-
' thing but blows by sea, the French got all by
' land, he sent the said duke of Bucks, Hen. lord

• Arlington and George lord Halifax to the French

■ king, keeping his court at Utrecht, 15 June

• 1672, but with instructions as secret and dark as

• those of making the war, and about the 21st ot"

• July 1672 they return'd into England, having

• effected nothing as to the states of Holland. At
' that time being one of the cabal at W hitehall, did
' at the re-sitting of the parliament in the begin-
' ning of Feb. following, endeavour in a speech to
' throw oft' the odium of the war with the Dutch
' from himself upon the lord Arlington another of
' the cabal, and in June or Jul. 1674 he resigned
' his chancellorship of Cambridge ; whereupon
' James duke of Monmouth did succeed him. At
' that time Buckingham being a great favourer of
' fanatics, he did in the beginning of Nov. 1675
' put up a bill in favour of them, which was as-
' sen ted to. Upon the 16th of Feb. 1676 he
' (Buckingham) James earl of Salisbury, Anth.
' earl of Shaftsbury and Philip lord Wharton were
' sentenced by the house of lords to be committed
' prisoners to the Tower, under the notion of con-
' tempt, for that they refused a recantation for
' what die day before was spoken by them, viz.
' that Buckingham (just alter the king haxl ended
' his speech to both houses at their then meeting)
' endeavouring to argue from law and reason that
' the long prorogation was nulTil, and thiit the par-
' liament was consequently dissoly'd, was secontled
' by Salisbury, Shaftsbury and Wharton. For
' which reason I say, and for endeavouring to raise
' sedition, they were sent to the Tower. See more

Some of their chiefs were princes of the land,

In the first rank of these did Zimri stand :

A man so various, that he seem'd to be

Not one, but all mankind's epitome.

Stiff in opinions, always in the wrong ;

Was every thing by starts, and nothing long :

But in the course of one revolving mtxjn.

Was chymist, fidler, statesman and buffoon.

Then all for women, painting, rhiming, drinking;

Besides ten thousand freaks that dy'd in thinking.

Blest madman, who could every hour employ,

With something new to wish, or to enjoy !

Railing and praising were his usual theames ;

And both (to shew his judgment) in extreams ;

So over violent, or over civil,

That every man, with him, was God or devil.

In squandering wealth was his pecuhar art.

Nothing went unrewardetl but desert.

Beggar'd by fools, whom still he found too late.

He had his jest, and they had his estate.

He laught himself from court, then sought relief

By forming parties, but cou'd ne'er be chief:

For, spight of him, the weight of business fell

On Absalom and wise Achitophel.

Thus, %vicked but in will, of means bereft ;

He left not faction, but of that was left.

" were made on Ludovisa dutchess of Portsmouth

{'esty king Charles I. took the covenant, and at
ength became a captain among them. When the
king's cause declined and the war ceased, he retired
to his coll. was made fellow thereof, and in 1649 he
took the degree of master of arts; much about
which time he expressed liimself an enemy to Oliver
for his diabolical proceedings, and was thereupon
committed to custody, as I sliall tell you anon.
About that time he became, tho' a Calvinist, a con-
ceited and affected j)reacher several years in these
parts, kept pace with the leading men during the
mterval, complemented with the times at his ma-
jesty's restoration, and endeavoured to express his
loyalty, yet could not endure to be called captain.
Afterwards he became minister of a market town
in Oxfordsh. named Chipping-Norton, where being
much frequented by the neighlwurhood, obtained
the character, from some, of a fantastical, and from
others, of an edifying, preacher. About the latter
end of 1680, the rectory of Great Risington near
North Leech in Gloucestershire falling void, it was
conferred upon him by sir Edm. Bray, knight, and
soon after he took to him, in his elderly years, a fair
and comely wife. His sermons preached before the
university of Oxon, had in them many odd, light
and whimsical passages, altogether unbecoming the
gravity of the pulpit : and his gestures being very
antic and mimical, did usually excite somewhat of
laughter in the more youthful" part of the auditory.
His works are these,

WILLIAM PETTY, son of Anthony Petty a
clothier, was bom in a httle haven town in Hamp-
shire called Rumsey, on the 26th of May 1623, and
while a boy he took very great delight m spending
his time among artificers there, as smiths, carpen-
ters, joyners, &c. whose trades, in some respects, he
understood so well in short time at twelve years of
age, that he could work at them. At that time he
went to the grammar school there, had some smat-
tering in the Latin, and at about 15 years of age he
entred into the Greek tongue. Soon after he went
to Caen in Normandy, and with a little stock of
merchantdizing that he then improved, maintained
himself there, learned the French tongue, and at 18
years of age the arts and mathematics. Afterwards
he retired to Paris, studied anatomy, and read Vesa-
lius with Hobbes of Malmsbury, who lov'd his
company exceeding well, and was not wanting on
all occasions to forward his pregnant geny. So that
in short time being accomplished with such parts rf
learning that began then to be in great esteem in
England, he returned (after he had visited the Ne-
therlands) into England, and on the 6th of March
1647, a patent was ordered for him, by the mem-
bers of parliament, to endure for 17 years, to teach
his art of double writing. At that time, being a
man of fortune, he sid&a with the people then in

authority, went to Oxou when tlie groat rout of
loyal scholars was made by the parliamentarian vi-
sitors, setled there for some time, followed the fa-
culty of physic, exercised anatomy and chymistry
much among young scholars, to his and their great
benefit, and became deputy professor of anatomy
for Dr. Thom. Clayton, who being possessed with a
timorous and effemmate humour, could never endure
the sight of a mangled or bloody body. On the 7th of
March 1649 he, by the commcnclatory letters of
certain persons then in authority, written to the de-
legates of the university, was actually created doctor
of physic, he being in tlie next year made fellow of
Brasen-n. coll. in the place of Nath. Hoyle bach, of
divinity, and in Dec. 1650 his name was wonderfully
cried up for being the chief person in the recovery
to life of one Anne Green, who was hang'd in Ox-
ford castle on the 14th of the same month, for
making away her bastard child ; at which time, in-
stead of recovering her, he intended to have her
made an anatomy. In the beginning of January
following, he was unanimously elected anatomy pro-
fessor of the university, upon Clayton's renouncing
his interest therein, purposely to serve him, and
shortly after, he was not only made one of the coll.
of ph3'sicians at London, but music professor of
Gresham coll. which last place he obtamed by the
[808] interest of his dear friend capt. Joh. Graunt. In
1652, being recommended to the parliament to be
one of the surveyors of Ireland, he procured a pa^
tent for that purpose, and in Aug. the same year he
took a voyage thither, practised his faculty in Dub-
lin among the chief of that city, got to be clerk of
the council there, and secretary to the lord lieute-
nant. In Dec. 1654 he began to survey (for which
he received 365^. per an.) which was done in ten
months time or thereabouts, with that exactness,
that there was no estate to the value of 60Z. per an.
but he did exactly shew it to its true value, and
made maps of all that he had done. Those that he
employed for the geometrical part, were ordinary
persons, that circumambulated with their box and
needle, not knowing what they did, but our author
Petty knew right well how to make use of their la-
lx)urs. 'Tis said that by this employment he ob-
tained an estate in Ireland worth about 10000^. per
an. but a great part of it being refunded, because
their ibrmer owners were declared innocent, as to
the then late rebellion, he had left him about 5 or
6000A yearly, and could from Mount-Mangorton in
Kerry oehold 50000 acres of his own land. But
this survey was but a single proof of the great ele-
vation of his understandmg genius, which like a
meteor moved above the sphere of other mortals.
In Jan. 1658 he was elected one of the burgesses of
Westlow in Cornwall to serve in Richard's parlia-
ment, which began at Westm. on the 27th of the
same month, wherein he was a considerable actor, as
I have heard ; but that parliament being so<jn after
dissolved, and Richard laid aside, he went into Ire-

land, whence returning after his majesty's restora-
tion, and introduced into his presence, his majesty
was much pleased with his ingenious discourses, and
seemed to be delighted in him. About that time
the royal society being instituted, he was appointed
one of its first members, and afterwards one of the
council belonging thereunto, being then esteemed
the prime person to advance experimental philo-
sophy and mechanics. On the 11th of Apr. 1661
he received the honour of knighthood from his ma-
jesty, and did afterwards (as some say) design to be
earl of Kilmore in Ireland, but that project, which
he knew the effect would cause great envy, came to
nothing. In the beginning of the year 1663 he be-
came famous in Ireland by the success of his new
invention of the double-bottom'd ship, against the
judgment and resolution of almost all mankind; for
in July the same year, when first the ship adven-
tur'd from Dublin to Holyhead, she stayed there
manydays before her return, and 'twas pleasant to
consider how her adversaries insulted, and having
first established the conclusion, that she was cast
away, did afterwards discourse the several neces-
sities why it should be .so. Some said it was im-
possible her mast could be sufficiently planted against
a strong gale, others said she was gone to land at
O. Brasile, &c. But her return in triumph with
those visible advantages above other vessels, did
check the derision of some, and becalm'd the violence
of others, tlie first point having been clearly gain'd
that she could bear the seas. She then turned in
against wind and tide into that narrow harljour
(Holyhead) amongst tiie rocks and ships with such
dexterity, as many ancient seamen did then confess
they had never seen the like. About the same time
Thomas earl of Ossory and other persons of lionour
were embarked in her, and drove to and again
within the bar near Dublin. It then blew very
hard, insomuch that a small Holland vessel (famous
for a good sailer) which set sail with her, was in ap-
pearance after looked upon to be over-set, whilst
she inclined not above hailf a foot more to one side
than another, so that it was truly then called ' The
Pad of the Sea.' It appeared very much to excel
all other forms of ships, in sailing, in carriage, in
security and many other such benefits, but at length
in its return home from a certain voyage, it was de-
stroyed by a common fate, and by such a dreadful
tempest, as overwiielmed a great fleet the same
night: So that the ancient fabric of ships had no
reason to triumph over that new model, when of 70
sail that were in the same storm, there was not one
escaped to bring the news. In a word, tho' this
invention succeeded not, while it was only supported [809]
by private purses, it will (as one '" observes) un-
doubtedly produce great effects, if ever it shall be
retrieved upon the pubhc stock of the nation, &c.

A Brief of Proceedings betioeen Sir Hiei-om
Zanchy and him, with the State of the Controversy
between them. Lond. 1659. in 2 or 3 sli. in fol. The
articles then put up against him relating to his
actions in Ireland, were (1.) That he the said doctor
Petty had received great bribes. (2.) That he had
made a trade of buying debentures in vast numbers
against the statute. (3.) That he had gotten vast
sums of money, and scopes of land by fraud. (4.)
That he had used many foul jiractices, as surveyor
and commissioner, for setting out lands. (5.) That
he and his fellow-commissioners had placed some
debentures in better places than they could claim,
denying right to others. (6.) That he and his fel-
low comniissionei's had totally disposed of the army's
security ; the debt still remaining chargeable on the
state. All which were, according to the said Brief
of Proceedings, cleared by Petty : what the event
of the matter was I cannot have.

This learned virtuoso sir Will. Petty died in his
house in Piccadilly-street, almost opfwsite to 9^.
James's church, within the liberty of Westminster,
of a gangreen in his foot, occasioned by the swelhng
i687. of the gout, on the sixteenth day of Decemb. in six-
[8111 *®^^ hundred eighty and seven : whereupon his body
was carried to Rumsey, the place of his nativity, and
buried in the church there near the bodies of his
father and mother. By his wife Elizabeth daughter
of sir Hardress Waller, knight, and relict of sir
Maurice Fenton, he had issue two sons, viz. Charles,
created baron of Shelborne in Ireland soon after his
father's death, and Henry, and a daughter named

Anne. He had also a natural daughter more like
to him than any other of his children, who was an
actress in the duke's playhouse an. 1680, and after.
Could I have seen sir Will. Petty 's life, written by
himself, which is in MS. in the hands of his brother
in law Waller, I might have spoken more fully and
punctually of him, but the owner of it living remote
from the author of this book, and altogether un-
known to him, he could never gain a sight of it.

in Aubrey's Lives, publ. at the end of Letters from
the Bodleian Library, 1813; as well as his most
singular will in Chalmers's Biographical Dictionary.
Many of his manuscripts are in the British Museum.
I have never seen any engraving of him that de-
serves to be recorded.]

THOMAS PITTIS, son of a father of both his
names, a captain sometimes of the trained bands in
the isle of Wight, was born at Knighton there, be-
came a commoner of Trin. coll. in the latter end of
1652, took one degree in arts, and then translated
hmiself to Line. coll. where he was esteemed by his
contemporaries a tolerable disputant. Afterwards
he took the degree of master, and was made one of
the terrae filii, but his speech being much dishked
by the godly party of those times, he was expel'd
the university an. 1658. Afterwards he was pre-
ferr'd to the rectory of Gatcombe in the isle of
Wight, took the degree of bach, of div. 1665, be-
came vicar of the parish of Holy Rood in South-
ampton by the favour of Dr. Morley bish. of Win-
chester, made lecturer of Christ Church in London,
(being about that time one of his mai. chapl. in ord.)
proceeded in div. in 1670, and had the rectory of
Lutterworth in Leicestersh. bestowed on him by the
king, which he exchanged with the successor of Mr.
Rob. Clarke (sometime of Line, coll.) for the rectory
of S. Botolph without Bishopsgate, London.' So

CLEMENT BARKSDALE, son of Joh. Barks,
was born at VVinchcombe in Gloucestershire on S.
Clement's day, 23 Nov. 1609, educated in grammar
learning in the free-school at Abingdon in Berks,
entred a servitour in Mert. coll. in the beginning of
Lent term 1625, but making little stay there, he
translated himself to Glouc. hall under the tuition
[812] and patronage of Deg. Whear the principal, where
continuing a severe student several years, he took
the degrees in arts, entred into the sacred function,
and in 1637 he supplyed the place of chaplain of
Lincoln coll. at the church of Allsaints, commonly
called Alhallowes in the city of Oxon. But being
called thence the same year, he was made master of
the free-school at Hereford, vicar choral there, and
in short time after vicar of Alhallowes in that city.
In 1646 in the garrison of Hereford which had been
a little before surprized by the parliam. forces, he
was rescued out of the danger of that time, and
placed at Sudeley Castle near the place of his na-
tivity, where he exercised his ministry, and sub-
mitted to the men in power : And after that he shel-
tred at Hawling in Cotswold, where he taught a
private school with good success. After the king's
restoration, he was, by his majesty's gift, settled in
the parsonage of Naunton near Hawlmg and Stow
on the Wold in Gloucestershire, which he kept to
the time of his death. He was a good disputant, a
great admirer of Hugh. Grotius, a frequent preacher,
but very conceited and vain, a great pretender to
poetry, and a writer and translator of several little
tracts, most of which are meer scribbles : the titles
follow,

my study entit. — Annalia Dulrrensia. Upon the
yearly Celebration of Mr. Rob. Dover''s Olympic
Games upon Cotswold Hills, &c. Lond. 1636. qu.
[Bodl. Gough, Gloucester, 7.] This book, which
hath the running title on every page, of Cotswold
Games, consists of verses made by several hands on
the said Annalia Dubren.sia, but nothing of the
Cotswold Muse of Barksdale relates to them, which
some, that have only seen the title of it, think to be
the same. The said games were begun, and con-
tinued at a certain time in the year for 40 years by
one Rob. Dover an attorney of Barton on the Heath
in Warwickshire, son df Jon. Dover of Norfolk, who
being fuU of activity, and of a generous, free, and

I)ubhc spirit, did, with leave from king Jam. I. se-
ect a place on Cotswold Hills in Gloucestershire,
whereon those games should be acted. Endimion
Porter, esq; a native of that county, and a servant
to that king, a person also of a most generous spirit,
did, to encourage Dover, give him some of the
king's old cloaths, with a hat and feather and ruff,
purposely to grace him and consequently the so-
lemnity. Dover was constantly there in person well
mounted and accoutred, and was the chief director
and manager of those games frequented by the no-
bility and gentry (some of whom came 60 miles to
see them) even till the rascally rebellion was began
by the presbyterians, which gave a stop to their
proceedings, and spoiled all that was generous or
ingenious elsewhere. The verses in the said book
called Annalia Dubrensia were composed by several
poets, some of which were then the chiefest of the
nation, as Mich. Drayton, esq; Tho. Randolph of
Cambridge, Ben. Johnson, Owen Feltham, gent,
capt. Joh. Mennes, Shakerley Marmion, gent. Tho.
Heywood, gent. &.c. Others of lesser note were
Joh. Trussel, gent, who continued Sam. Daniel's
History of England, Joh. Monson, esq; Feryman
Rutter of Oriel coll. Will. Basse of Moreton near
Thame in Oxfordshire, sometime a retainer to the
lord Wenman of Thame Parke,' Will. Denny, esq;

&,c. Before the said book of Jnnalia Dubrensia
is a cut representing the games and sports, as men
playing at cudgels, wrestling, leaping, pitching the
liar, throwing Uie iron hammer, liandling the pyke,
leaping over the heads of men kneeling, standing
ujxin tlieir hands, &c. Also the dancing of women,
men hunting and coursing the hare with hounds
and giey-hounds, &c. with a castle built of boards
on a hillock, with guns therein firing, and the picture
of the great director capt. Dover on horseback,

by the by, let us proceed with the remaining titles

character of a frecjuent and edifying preacher, and

SAMUEL PARKER, an eminent writer of his
time, was bom in the ancient borough of North-
ampton in the month of Sept. 1640. His father
was John Parker, who having been bred towards
the law, he betook ' himself, as his best practice, to
be a sul>committee man, or as the stile ran, one of
the assistant-committee in Northamptonshire in the
time of the rebellion. Afterwards scraping up wealth,

sent, &c. and by virtue of a return dated 21 June
1655, he, by the name of Joli. Parker of tlie Tem-
ple, one of the commissioners for the removing ob-
structions at Worcester House in the Strand near
London, was the next day sworn Serjeant at law,
Oiiver being then lord protector. On tlie 18th of
Jan. or therealx)uts, an. 1659, he was appointetl by
the parliament one of the barons of tlie court of
Exchequer, but being soon after removed thence,
before, or at, the restoration of king Charles II. we
heard no more of him afterwards, " only that he was
" again regularly made serjeant at law by the en-
" deavours of lord chancellor Hyde, at the first call
" after the restoration of king Charles II." As for
Samuel whom we are farther to mention, he was by
the care of his parents, severe puritans and schis-
matics, puritannically educated in grammar learning
at Northampton, and being made full ripe for the
university, he was by them sent to Wadham aJl. in
midsummer or act term 1656, and being by them
committed to the tuition of a presbyterian tutor, he
did, according to his former breeding, lead a strict
and religious life, fasted, prayed with other students
weekly together, and for their refection feeding on
thin broth, made of oatmeal and water only, they
were commonly caWed grewellers. He and they did
also usually go every week, or oftncr, to an house
in the parish of Haly well near their college, posses,sed
by Bess Hampton an old and crooked maid that
drove the trade of laundrey ; who being from her
youth very much given to the presbytenan religion
had frequent meetings for the godly party, espe-
cially for those that were her customers. To this
house I say (which is commonly called the ninth
hmisehclonemg toMert. coll.) they did often resort,
and our autiior Parker was so zealous and constant
a hearer of the prayers and sermons there held forth,
a receiver of the sacraments and guch like, that lie
was esteemed one of the preciousest young men in
the university. Upon the king's return in 1660,
being then bach, of arts, he was for some time at a
stand what to do, yet notwithstanding he did pray,
cabal and discourse to obstruct episcopal govern-
ment, revenues and authority ; but being cnscoun-
tenanc'd in his doings by the then warden of his
college, Dr. Blandford, who, as 'tis said, did ' expel
him, but false, he went to Trinity college, and by
the prevaihng advice of Dr. Ralph Bathurst a senior
fellow thereof he was * rescued from the chains and
fetters of an unhappy education, which he afterwards
publicly avouched ) n print. So that ever after being
a zealous anti-puritan and strong assertor of the
church of England, did cause an abusive and foid-
mouth'd ^ autnor to say that he was worse than his

contemporary Foulis (meaning Henry Foulis of
Lincoln collefje) the original ot' whose name tho'
stinking and foul, as he suth, and in nature ibul,
yet lie was always the same person in principles,
"that is, a bitter enemy against the presbytcnans.
In 1663 our author Parker proceeded master of
arts as a grand compounder and a member of Trin.
coll. and afterwards entring into holy orders he was
frequently in London, and Ix'came, as 'tis said,
chaplain to a nobleman and a great droller on the
puntans, &c. In 1665 he published liis Tenta-
mina, and dedicating them to Dr. Sheldon archb. of
Canterbury made himself thereupon known to that
great person. About that time he became fellow of
the royal society, and in 1667, just after Easter,
leaving Oxford for altogether, he was summonetl to
Lambeth the Michaelmas after, and being made one
of the chaplains to the said archbishop, was thereby
put into the road of preferment. In June 1670 he
was installed archdeacon of Canterbury, in the place,
as it seems, of Dr. W. Saneroft, and on the 26th of
Nov. following he had the degree of doct. of div.
conferred on him at Cambridge, at which time Wil-
liam prince of Aurange or Orange was entertained
there. On the 18th of Nov. 1673 he was installed
prebendary of Canterbury as he himself hath told
me, and about that time had the rectories of Ickham
and Chartham in Kent bestowed on him. In the
beginning of 1685 he resigned his prebendship, pur-
posely to please his friend Dr. John Bradford, but
that person dying about 6 weeks after his instalment.
Dr. Joh. Younger of Magd. coll. in Oxon did suc-
ceed him by the favour of Josepha Maria the royal
consort of King James II. to whom he had spoken
an Italian oration in the said coll. when she was
entertain\l at Oxon, 1683. On the 17th of October
1686 he was consecrated bishop of Oxon at Lamlieth
in the place of Dr. Fell deceased, and had liberty
then allow'd him to keep his archdeaconry in tom-
mendam with it. Before I go any further with this
person, the reader is to understand, these brief things
following, viz. that after the death of Dr. Hen. Clark
president of Magd. coll. a citation was stuck up to
warn the fellows to an election of a new governour,
but before the time was come to do it, came a man-
damus from king James II. to the society, to elect
to that office a junior master of arts named Anth.
Farmer formerly of Cambridge, then *A. M. of the
said coll. but the society taking little
demy. First ^j. jj^, notice of it, they elected accord-
18I6] ■ ing to their statutes one of their so-

ciety named Joh. Hough bach, of div. on the 15th
of April 1687; whereupon his majesty resenting
the matter, it was tried and discussed before his
ecclesiastical commissioners newly erected by him :
Before whom there were then attested such vile
things relating to the hfe and conversation of Far-
mer, that he was thereupon laid aside. On the 22d
of June followingthe said ecclesiastical commissioners
removed Mr. Hough from his place, which was no-

tified by a paper stuck up on the west door of the
cha))j)el, on the 2il of August following, subscribed
by the said connnissioners ; whereu{X)n his majesty
sent his mandate of the 14th of the said mimth to
elect Dr. Sam. Parker bishog of Oxon, to be their

|)resident; but they Jjeing not in capacity to elect
»im because of their oaths and statutes, his majesty
sent to Oxon three commissioners to examine matters
and put his mandate in execution. So that after
they had sate in the coll. two days, examined affairs
and had commanded Dr. Hough thrice to deliver
up the keys of the president's Icxlgings, which he
refused ; thev thereupon installed in the chappel
the proxy of Dr. Parker, (Will. Wij^ens, clerk)
president, with the usual oaths : which being done
they conducted him to the president's lodgings,
broke open the doors, after thrice knocking, and
gave him possession, 25 Octob. 1687. On the 2d
of November following Dr. Parker took possession
of them in his own person, being then in a sickly
condition, where he contiimcd to the time of his
death which was shortly after, as I shall tell you
anon. So that whereas he was first a presbyterian
and afterwards a true son of the church of England,
he was then esteemed by the generality, especially
when his Reasons /or abrogating the Test were
published, very popishly enclinedy It was about
that time said'' that ' he seemed very much to favour

the cath. cause that he ijroposed in council,

whether it was not expedient that at least one col-
lege in Oxford should be allowed Catholics, that they
might not l>e forced to be at such charges, by going

beyond the seas to study The same bishop

inviting two noblemen (R. Cath.) to a banquet,
drank the king's health, to an lieretical baron there,
wishing a happy success to all his affairs ; and he
added, that the faith of the protestants in England
seemed to him but to be little better than that of
Buda was before it was taken ; and that tliey were
for the most part meer atheists .that defended it,'
&c. Thus a certain Jesuit of Liege to another at
Friburg, in a letter ' dat. 2 Feb. 1687. And father
Edm. Petre another Jesuit one of the privy council to
king Jam. II. tells " us in the same month that ' the
bishop of Oxon has not yet declared himself openly :
the great obstacle is his wife, whom he cannot nd
himself of, his design being to continue bishop, and
only change communion, as it is not doubted but
the king will permit, and our holy father confirm :
tho' I do not see how he can be further useful to us
in the religion in which he is, because he is sus-
pected, and. of no esteem among the heretics of the
English church : nor do I see that the example of
his conversion is hke to draw many others after him,
because he declared himself so suddenly. If he had

some longer time, he would have done better, but it
is his temper, or rather zeal, that hurried him on,'
&c. But to let pass these and other matters which
are related of him by that party, the Roman Ca-
tholics, I shall proceed to give you an account of his
published writings, which are these.

Marvell himself had led the way. Besides Mar-

find another small piece wrote against it, partly

Before I go any farther, the reader is to note that
this pen-combat exercised between our author and
Marvell was briskly managed with as much smart,
cutting and satyrical wit on both sides, as any other
perhaps of late hath been, they endeavouring by all
the methods imaginable, and the utmost forces they
could by any means rally up, to blacken each others
cause, and to set each other out in the most ugly
dress ; (their pieces in the mean while, wherein was
represented a perfect trial of each others skill and
parts in a jerkmg, flirting way of writing, entertain-
mg the reader with a great variety of sport and
mirth, in seeing two such right cocks of the game
so keenly engaging with sharp and dangerous wea-
pons) And it was generally thought, nay even by
m.any of those who were otherwise favourers of
Parker's cause, that he (Parker) thro' a too loose
and unwary handling of the debate (tho' in a brave,
flourishing and lofty stile) laid himself too open to
the severe strokes of his snearing adversary, and that
the odds and victory lay on Marvell's side : How-
soever it was, it wrought this good effect upon our
author, that for ever after it took down somewhat of
his high spirit, insomuch that tho' Marvell in a
.second part replied upon our author's reproof, yet
he judged it more prudent rather to lay down the
cudgels, than to enter the lists again with an un-
towardly combatant so hugely well vers'd and expe-
rienc'd in the then, but newly, refin'd art (tno'
much in mode and fashion almost ever since) of
sportive and jeering buffoonry. And moreover it
put him upon a more serious, sober and moderate
way of writing in other good treatises, which he
since did set forth, and which have proved very
useful and beneficial to the public. The reader
may be pleased now to know by the way, for here I
think it very proper to be brought in and no where
else, that the said Andrew Marvell * was son of

' [Andr. Marvel admissiis in nialriculam acad. Cant. coll.
Trill. Dec. )4, 1(533. Rr^. Acad.

Andrew Marvell the facetious, yet Calvinistical,
minister of Kingston upon Hull in Vt)rksliire, that
being very well educated in grammar learning was
sent to C'ambridge, particularly, as I conceive, to
Trin. coll. where obtaining the mastership of tlie
Latin tongue became assistant to Joh. Milton when
he was Latin secretary to Oliver, and very intimate
and conversant with that person. A little before
his majesty's restoration the burghers of his native
place of Kingston before inention'd did choose him
their representa'lve to sit in that parliament that
began at Westminster the 25th of April 1660, and
again after his majesty's restoration for that which
began at the same place, 8 May 1661, and they
loved him so well that they gave him an honourable
])ension to maintain him. From which time to his
death, he was esteemed (tho' in his conversation
very modest and of few words) a very celebrated wit
among the fanatics, and the only one truly so, for
many years after. He hath written, besides the
two parts of The Rehearsal transpos''d, (1) A book
entit. Mr. Smirk, or the Divine in mode, being
certain Annotations upon the Animadversions on
naked Truth; togetlier icith a short historical Essay
concerning general Cotincils, Creeds and Imposi^
tions in Matters of Religion. Lond. 1676. qu.
Which Historical Essay, was afterwards printed [8191
by it self in fol. The person whom he calls Mr.
Smirk, nuihor o{ A>iimadvcrsicms on Naked Truth,
was Dr. Franc. Turner head or master of S. John's
coll. in Cambridge, conceiv'd and taken by Marvel
to be a neat, starcht, formal and forward divine.

1677 to 1682, was penn'd by Rob. Ferguson before

supposed to liave written other things, as I have
told you in Joh. Denham, vol. iii, col. 827. died on
the 18th of August 1678, and was buried under the
pews in the south side of the church of S. Giles in

acquired improvements this way, have in any mea-

In the beginning of the year 1661 he was chose a

ment which began at AVestrainster the 8th of May
the same year, was made fellow of the Royal Society [821 ]
soon after, antl in the latter end of 1663 a knight.
About that time he became a commissioner of the
Court of Claims in Ireland, and had afterwards a
clerkship of the Green Cloth conferr'd upon him,
from which being removed in tljc latter end of 1678,
was soon after restored to it again. This person, tho'
accounted a worthy gent, in many respects, a great
royalist, and a sincere lover of Ins majesty and the
church of England, yet a nameless and satyrical '
author tells us that he was a ijensioner in the afore-

The aforementioned passage of raising of money,
being much resented by several members of pari,
then sitting, the leaf of the remaining copies wherein
it was, was reprinted without that passage, pur-
posely to please and give content. This worthy
gent, sir Winst. Churchill died on the 26th of
March in sixteen hundred eighty and eight, being 1688.
then eldest clerk-comptroller of the Greencloth, and
•was buried three days after in the ch. of S. Martin
in the Fields within the city of Westminster. He
had a son commonly called colonel John Churchill,
who had been much favoured by James duke of
York, and by him and his endeavours first pro-

Tower of I^ondon, Iwron of Wyinondley in Eng-
land. After the decease of king Charles II. the
said lord Churchill was much favoured by the said
duke, then king by the name of James II, and by
him promoted to several places of trust and honour ;
but when his help was by him required, he deserted
him in the beginning of Nov. 1688, and adhered to
the prince of Orange then amved in the west parts
of England. In the month of Feb. following, the
said prince being then king of England by the
name of Wiiliam III. he was by him appointed to
lie one of his privy council among divers honourable
persons tlien named and a])pointed also, and in the
beginning of April 1689 he was created earl of
Marlborough ; at which time were also created and
advanced to great honours these persons following,
v\7,. (1) prince George of Denmark and Norway, to
be barou of Okingham, earl of Kendal and duke of
Cumberland, (2) Charles marquess of Winchester,
to be duke of Bolton, (3) William Bentick esq. (a
Dutch-man) groom of the stole to his maj. to be

(9) Hugh vise. Cholmondley of Kellis in Ireland,
to be baron Cholmondley of Namptwich in Cheshire.
Afterwards John earl of IVIarlborough went into
Ireland, was a lieut. gen. there, and did his maj.
good service in the wars had against the army of
king James II. in that country, and afterwards re-
turned full fraught with honour and glory, and con-
tinued in the g(X)d opinion of many for some time.
At length upon some distaste taken against him, the
reason why let the statesmen and politicians tell
you, he was deprived of all his places and employ-
ments by his maj. king William III. about the
middle of January 1691, viz. of his place of lieut.
general, his command of capt. of the third troop of
guards, of his regiment of fusileers, and of his place
of gentleman of the bed-chamber.

GEORGE STRADLING, fourth son of sir
John StradUng of S. Donats Castle in Glamorgan-
shire knt. was born there, became a com. of Jesus
coll. in Lent term 1636, aged 15 years, took one
degree in arts, was elected junior collector of the
bachelors in Lent 164°, chosen fellow of Alls. coll.
two years after, proceeded in arts, and kept his fel-
lowship during the times of trouble and usurpation,
being then accounted a rare lutinist, and much
valued by Dr. Wilson the music professor. After
the king's restoration he was made chaplain to Dr.

Sheldon bish. of London, and wa.s actually created

&e. Lond. 1688. in 5 sli. in qu. Published under
the name of Charles Taylour gent, and by him de-
dicated to king Jam. II. by an epistle set liefore it,

[fiiiii] wherein the author tells us that his father had served
in the quality of a cornet of hoi-se in sir W. Court-
ney's regiment in all the wars against his enemies :
And in ttie Ixxjk it self, p. 5, he tells us that he had
belonged to the quire of Westminster 18 years. He
tlic said H. Kecpe hath also made some collections
of antiauities relating to York, as some booksellers
have told me, but such I have not yet seen. He
died in Carter-lane near S. Paul's cath. in London,
about the latter end of the month of May in sixteen

1688. hundred eighty and eight, and was buried in the
church of S. Gregory joyning to the said cathedral.
This person had changetl his name with his religion
for that of Rome, in the reign of king James II.
his lodgings also several times, and died, as I have
heard, but in a mean condition.

JOHN BARBON, son of Euseb. Barlwn of
Holcott in Northamptonshire, was born there, ad-
mitted a poor scholar of Exeter coll. 7 Sept. 1640,
aged 16 years, and took the degrees in arts, that of
master being conferr'd on him in Feb. 1647. The
next year he was expell'd bv the visitors, and living
afterwai'ds in a mean condition, became much about
the time of his majesty's restoration vicar of Dal-
lington, and at length rector of Pitchford commonly
called Pisford, in Northamptonshire, where he ended
his days. He hath written.

The Liturgy a most divine Service ; in Answer

Defence of Episcopacy. This is printed with

the former, and was wrote in way of answer to the
said author's 12 arguments against the bishops.
This writer, Mr. Barbon, who was well read in xa^
rious authors, died on the 23d of June in sixteen
1688. hundred eighty and eight, and was buried in the
church at Pisford beforemention'd. He had some
time before wrote the life of his wife, but because
there were some trifling stories in it, it was not
printed.

WILLIAM FULMAN, the son of a sufficient
carpenter, was Iwrn in a town fsmious for the birth,
or at lea.st habitation, of sir Phil. Sidney, called
Penshurst in Kent, in llie month of Nov. l'682, and
being a youth of pregnant parts while the most

learned Dr. Hammond was parson of that place, he
took him into his protection, carried him with him
to Oxon in the time of the troubles, jjriK-ur'd him a
chorister's place in Magd. coll. and caused him to
be carefully educatetl in gi-ammar learning in the
school joyning to that house, under the tuition of
Mr. William White the vigilant master thereof:
And being there well grounded in school leai'ning,
that worthy doctor put him u)X)n standing for a
scholar's place in Corp. Ch. ct)ll. where shewing
himself an exact proficient in classical learning, was
forthwith elected m 1 647 ; and iiut under the tuition
of an excellent tutor but zealous puritan, named
Zach. Bogan. The next year he was ejected, among
other young men, by the parliamentarian visitors,
to the great loss of his learning ; and tho' his patron
Dr. Hammond was involved in the same fate, yet
he took him closer to him, and made him his ama-
nuensis, in which office he found him very service-
able and useful. After he had arrived to the state
of man, he became, by that doctor's endeavours,
tutor to the son and heir of the ancient and genteel
family of Peto of Chesterton in Warwickshire, where
he found a comfortable harbour during the time of
the cliurch of England's disconsolate condition. At
length, upon his majesty's return, he was restored
to his scholarship, was actually created master of
arts, and made fellow of his house; where conti-
nuing several years a severe student in various sorts
of learning, was, upon the death of Mr. Rich. Sam-
wais, presented by the president and fellows of his
coll. to the rectory of Me3'sey-Hampton near Fair-
ford in Glocestershire, where he finished his course.
He was a most zealous son of the church of Eng-
land, and a grand enemy to popery and fanaticism;
He was a most excellent theologist, admirably well
vers'd in ecclesiastical and profane history and chrcv [8241
nology, and had a great insight in English history
and antiquities ; but being totally averse from
making himself known, and that choice worth trea^
sured up in, his great learning did in a manner dye
with, him. Had his indulgent patron lived some
years longer, or he himself had taken those ad-
vantages as others did for their promotion in the
church upon account of their sufferings for the royal
cause, he might without doubt have been a dean ;
but such was the high value that he set upon him-
self and his sufferings, that he expected preferment
should court him and not he it. Besides also he
had not in him a complaisant humour, unless sooth'd
up, flattered or admired, neither any application,
whether to advantage himself in learning, expe-
rience, or for his own commodity, and therefore not
known, and so consequently, as his merits deserved,
not so much admired, as otherwise he would have
been. He wrote much, and was a great collector,
but published little, as

was abler to judge more critically of such a matter
than other persons. He also reviewed the whole
copy of the sec. vol. of the said Histoj-y irf the Rc-

judgment did con-ect such errors that he* found in
It. He also with great ])ains sought after, and found
out, the Works of King Charles I. of ever blessed
memorv, and collected them into one large vol. with
intentions to write the life of that most religious
prince, and to set it before them ; but he being un-
expectedly taken with the small jjox, the Ixiokseller
R. Royston employed Rich. Perinchief D. D.' to
draw up a history of it. Which being so done, not
without tlie notes of Fulman, it was jirinted before
the said collection, with the name of Perinchief to
it, an. 1662. fol. and so consequently the whole work
was looked upon and esteemed as due to him, wliicli
otherwise was to have been due to Fulman. Our
author also did take a great deal of pains in writing
the life of the famous Joii. Hales of Eaton, and hail
obtained many materials towards it,'' but for want of

London and Westminster, to which I did often ad-
vi.se him, and tell him where matter might l)e liad,
that work was also left imperfect : And what he did
as to the ])iil)licalion of the works of Dr. Hammond,
I have already told you in the life and character of
that jKison. At length this our learned author
being overtaken with a malignant fever, in a very
unseasonable time, which he did not, nor would take
care to prevent the danger that might ensue, died
of it at Meysey-Hampton early in the morning of
the 28th of June in sixteen hundred eighty and
eight, leaving then behind him a great heap of col-
lections, neatly written with his own hand, but no-
thing of them perfect. All which being afterwards
conveyed to C. C. coll. to be, according to his de-
sire, put into the archives of the library of that
house, what had it been for those that had the care,
to have permitted the autlK)r of this work the
perusal, of them, when they could not otherwise
but know that they would have been serviceable to
him in the promotion of this work, then almost
ready for the press.? But such is the humour of
the men of this age, that rather than they'll act a
part for the public good and honour of learning,
they'll suffer choice things to be buried in oblivion.
Mr. Fulman, who died to the reluctancy of many
learned men, was buried in the church-yard, at the
east end of the chancel of the cli. at Meysey-Hamp-
ton befoi'e-mentioned, near to the body of his then
late wife, named Hester, grandaughter, by the fa-
ther,* of Dr. Rog. Manwaring sometime bishop of
S. David's.

[Fulman published the first volume of the Hist.

curacy than Gale's two volumes. Lovedav.

ners Hist, of the Refbrmation, published in 1693,

The observation of Wood as to the difficulty of
access to the MS. papers of Fulman is by no means
applicable to the fellows of Corpus in the present
day ; since the editor of the new edit, of the
Athev.b has been permitted to have a very ample
perusal of this accurate and judicious antiquary's
collections. This will plainly appear in many parts
of this work and its continuation. In the mean time
the following general catalogue of I'ulman's Adver-

Afterwards he became rector of Portlemouth near

of London, educated in grammar learning in Wyke-
ham's school near Winchester, elected fellow of New

to the Inner Temple, of which he became a bar-

it did the generality, was printed in the last edition

it containing the pictures of giant Desborough with
a great club in his right hand and of Lambert, both

the giant Husonio before it, and printed with the

day of Decemb. in sixteen hundred eighty and eight,
and was three days after buried in the church of S.
Bride alias Bridget, near to the rails of the commu-
nion-table, under a grave-stone with inscription and
verses thereon, which he had sometime before caused
to be laid on his son, there buried. This person
(whose father, a clerk in the chancery, was then
living in the 80th year of his age or more) was in
his younger days much against marriage, to the dis-
like of his said father, and made a song describing
the cumbranccs of it, beginning thus :

A Thought of Death.

When on my sick bed I languish,
Full of sorrow, full of anguish.
Fainting, gasping, trembling, crying.
Panting, groaning, speechless, dying.
My soul, just now about to take her flight
Into the regions of eternal night, —

Oh tell me you,
That have l)een long below,

What shall I do.'
What shall I think, when cruel death apjiears,

That may extenuate my fears .''
Methinks I hear some gentle spirit say.

Be not fearful, come away !
Think with thy self that now thou shalt be free,
And find thy long expected liberty !
Better thou mayest, but worse thou canst not, be
Than in this vale of tears and misery.
Like Caesar, with a.ssurance then come on.
And unamaz'd attempt the laurel crown
That lyes on t'other side death's rubicon.]

and on tlie 15th of Apr. 1617 was baptized there.
His father wa.s an attorney of wxxl repute ' anion<j;
his neighbours, who perceiving nis son very forward
to learn, lie taught him common arithmetic, and
cau.s'd him to be carefully educated in gramniai-
learning. When he was fitted for the university he
was sent to Sidney coll. in Cambridge, where he
became servitor to Dr. Sam. Waril ' master of that
house, who being much taken with his ingenuity
and industry, as also with the suavity of his nature,
did soon after make him scholar of the said house :
And because he was of the same sirname, many
supposed that he was of kin, occasion'd by the doc-
tor's great kindness to him: But there was no re-
lation at all between them,- only the consimility of
their dispositions, which made a greater tye of
friendship than blood perhaps coidd do. His geny
was then much inclining to the mathematics, which
being, as 'twere, natural to him, he quickly and
easily obtained them. Mr. Cha. Scarborough, then
an ingenious young student and fellow of Caius
coll. in the same university, was his great acquaint-
ance, and both being equally students in that faculty
[827] and desirous to perfect themselves, they took a

{'ourney to Mr. Will. Oughtred^ living then at Al-
)ury ill Surrey, to be informetl of many things in
his Clavis Mathematica, whicli seemed at that time
very obscure to them. Mr. OuglUred treated them
with great humanity, being very much pleased to
see such ingenious young men apply themselves to
those studies, and in short time he sent them away
well satisfitKl in their desires. When they returned
to Cambridge, they afterwards read the Clav. Math.
to their pupils, which was the first time that that
book was read in the .said university. Mr. Laur.
Rook a disciple of Oughtred, I think, and Mr.
Ward's friend, did admirably well read in Gresham
coll. on the sixth chapt. of the said book, which
obtained him great repute from some, and greater
frdm Mr. Ward, who ever after* had an especial
favour for him. In 1643 he with the master and
several of his coll. were, for the king's cause, im-
prison'd in S. John's colt, in Cambridge, and ejected
from their several places; much about which time
he and Mr. P. Gunning, Mr. Is. Barrow, Mr. Jo.
Barwick, &c. did write a well pen'd treatise against
the covenant, which was made public. After his
release, he was civilly and kindly received by his

friend and neighlwur Ralpli Freeman of Aspden in
Hertfordshire, es(|; and upon the ceasing of the civil
war, he was entertained in the cjuality of a chaplain
to Thomas lord \\ ennian of 'riumie Park in Ox-
fordshire. In lG-19, his mind being then changed
as to orthodf)X principles, he, by friends made to the
conniiitlee for the reformation of the university of
Oxon, became astronomy professor thereof, in the
place of Mr. Joh. Greaves then ejected (wlio, upon
an infallible foresight that he should be turn'd out,
put Ward upon it, to gain it, because he would be
sure, as far as his power lay, to get an able suc-
ce.s.sor) and about that time he entred himself' a
gentleman commoner in Wadham coll. for the sake
of Wilkins then warden of that house. In Oct. the
same year he was incorporated master of arts, and
admitted to his professorship, aiul soon after took
the independent oatli called the engagement,* the
effect of which was to be faithful to the common-
wealth of England, as it was then established with-
out a king or house oi' lords. In 1654 he proceeded
D. of D." in wliich year Mr. Joh. Wallis ' the other
Savilian professor proceeding also, fell out a contro-
versy between them ((xrcasion'd by Wallis) who
should have seniority : which being decided by the
viceclianc. on Ward's behalf, Wallis went out grand
compounder, and .so got superiority, as I shall
largely tell you in the Fasti of that year. In 1656
or thereabouts he obtained of Dr. Brownrigg, the
silenc'd bishop of Exeter, the chantorshij) of that
church dien void, and in the year following gaining
an interest among the fellows of Jesus coll. he was
elected by thein to be their principal, upon the re-
signation of Dr. Mich. Roberts, but Franc. Howell
of Exeter coll. an independent got it from him by
his interest used to Oliver the protector. In 1659
he was elected president of Trin. coll. by a majority
of fellows, made by the interest of Dr. Ralph
Bathurst, but being soon after forced to leave that
place to make room for the right owner Dr. Han.
Potter,** who had in a most woful manner endured
great hardship, from the time of his ejection in
1648, the politician retired to the great city, where
he became minister of S. Laurence in the Jewry,
upon the promotion of Reynolds to Norwich, and m
the same year (1660) he was installed in his place
of chantor of Exeter. At that time it was his en-
deavours to make his loyalty known by being im-
prison'd at Cambridge, by his ejection, his writing
against the covenant, and I know not what. About
that time he became a member of the royal society
and soon after dean of Exeter, where being setded,
he wound himself in a short time, by his smooth

25, he was made chancellor of the most noble order
of the garter, by the restitution of king Charles II.
after* that place had been (x;cupied by lay-persons
about 154 years. He was a benefactor to the royal
society, gave a pendulum clcK-k thereunto which
goes for a week together, to jK-rpetnate the memory
of his dear and learned friend Laur. Rcxjk." Also,
about 1672 he gave a coiisiilerable sum of money
towards the making of the river at Salisbury na-
vigable to Christ Cluircii in Hampshire, and in
1679 he Iwstowed 1000/. on Sidney coll. in Cam-
bridge.' In 168'} he built an hospital or college at
Salisbury for the entertainment of ten poor widows

giving and hestowing of the dignities in tlie church
of Siuisburv, and not the bishop. AVhicli contro-
versy being laid bclore his majesty's commissioners
for ecclesiastical * protnotions, they
• Affairs. First ordered Dr. Tierce to write a nar-

"■ rative of that matter ; which being

done, Dr. Ward answered it, but 'twas not printed :
whereupon Pierce wrote A Vindkatinn of the King's
Sovereign Rights, &c. which was printed at Lond.
1683 in 12 sh. in fol. Afterwards die controvei-sy
being carried on by the black and dismal malice
of Pierce,^ it did so much disct)m|wse the bishop,
especially by the several journies to London in un-
seasonable titne and weather, that by degrees his
spirits were exhausted, his memory gone, and to-
tally unfit for business. About a month before he
died, he took very little sustenance, and lived only
on the stock, and died a skeleton ; which hapning
in his house at Knightsbridge near London on Sun-
day morn, the sixth of Januar}-, being the day of
iCe;. Epiphany, in sixteen hundred eighty and eight, his
body was afterwards conveyed to SaUsbury and
buried in the cathedral tliere. What epitaph he

He tells us there that he was the first in Cambr. that
expounded his Clav. Math, and that he had taken
a large journey to see him in his hidden and retired
condition, at which time, by his importunate desire,
he did correct, add many things to, and republish
his said book of Clav. Math. There had been for-
merly several learned lettei-s passed between him,
and Ballialdus and Hevelius, which are yet kept
private.

This is a very strangely written, yet in many re-
spects a curious and entertaining, volume. The
author contrives to give a good deal of information
in quaint language, and digresses pleasantly enough
to talk of all the bishop's friends as well as his own.
He has been very severe on Anthony a Wood, and
very unjustly so, as will be shewn in the proper
part of this work. For this crime Pope was
abundantly chastised in An Appendix to the Life of

THOMAS CARTWRIGHT, son of Tho.
Cartwright sometime schoolmaster of Brentwood in
Essex, was bom in the antient borough of North-
ampton on the first of Sept. 1634, educated in the
school there, and being puritanically educated under
presbyterian parents, was sent to Magd. hall, where
spending two terms in the study of logic, was forcibly
put into Queen's coll. by the visitors appointed by
parliament, an. 1649, and at that time was put
under the tuition of Mr. Tho. Tully. Afterwards
he was made * chapl. of the coll.
for a time, when he left the 'Tabwdrr and chap-

house, (having belore been or-
dained priest by Dr. Robert Skinner bish. of Oxon)
he became vicar of Walthamstow in Essex, and a
very forward and confident preacher for the cause
then in being. In 1659 I find him chaplain to Joh.
Robinson esq; alderman and then sheriff of London
and a preacher at S. Mary Magd. in Milkstreet, but
whether he did then enjoy the vicaridge of Barking
in Essex, which he did after his majesty's restora-
tion, I cannot tell.^ After the king's return he
shew'd himself very forward to express his loyalty,
was made domestic chaplain to Henry duke of G4o-

pi'ebcnd ot" Durham, struck in on the death of Dr.
TuUy his quondam tutor, and was made dean of
Ripjjon in the latter end of 1675. Afterwards
puttmg in with great boldness, before his seniors,
for 3 bishoprick, particularly for that of S. David,
but put aside bj' Dr. L. Womack, was at length
made bishop of Chester on the death of the most
learned and religious Dr. John Pearson : to which
see being consecrated, with Dr. Lloyd to S. David,
[830] and Dr. Parker to Oxon, at Lambeth, on the 17th
of Octob. 1686, had liberty then allowed to him to
keep the vicaridge of Barking and the rectory of
Wigan in Lane, which he before had obtained, in
commendam with his bishoprick. In the next year,
he being then in favour with king James II. and
ready upon all occasions to run with his Inmiour,
purjwsely to obtain a translation to a better bishop-
rick, he was by him not only added to the number
of ecclesiastical commissioners, but also appointed
one of the three delegates or comnussioners (sir
Rob. Wright ch. just, of the Kings-bench, and sir
Thomas Jenner one of the banms of the exchequer,
being the other two) to go to Oxon, to examine and
determine « the affairs relating to Magd. coll. and

fellows thereof, a book entit. An impartial Relation

At that time this bishop making it his sole endea-
vours to be gracious with the then great and leading
men, and to shew himself in all public assemblies,
particularly in those wherein the Rom. oath, bishops
were consecrated, he gained the ill-will so much of
the sons of the church of England, that when the

Krince of Orange made his expedition into England,
e, out of fear of suffering for what he had acted,
and of the insults of the rabble (then committing
great disorders in London and most parts of the
nation) did withdraw himself in private, sculk, and
in a disguise fled into France ; where repairing to
his royal master king James II. then lately come
thither, to avoid imminent danger in England, had
by him, upon the news of Dr. Ward's death, the
bishoprick of Salisbury conferred on him : and
while he abode at S. Germains he did usually read
the liturgy of the church of England in his lodgings
to such protestants that came thither to him. Af-
terwards he went with his said master towards Ire-
land, landed there on Tuesday the 12th of Mar.
1688, and on Sunday following being at Cork, he
received the sacrament from the hands of the bishop
of that place. On Palm Sunday, Mar. 24, he went
to Dublin with the king, and on Easterday, and the

called the flux or dysentery, he finished his course

himself to be a member of the communion of the
church of England, in which he had always lived,
had taken the blessed sacrament and the churches
absolution, he surrendred up his soul to God at
Dublin on Monday morning 15 of April in sixteen
hundred eighty and nine. On the day before in i69g.
the afternoon, while the ven. minister that usually
attended him was at church, the titular bishop of
Clogher and dean of Ch. Ch. made his lordship a
visit; and after the first civilities were past, one of [8311
them in Latin desired him to be mindful of eternity,
and to prepare for death. His servant ^ being pre-
sent, answer'd them that ' his lordship had prepared
himself already.' They afterwards told him in
Latin ' there was but one God, one faith, one
church.' To which the bishop replyed, ' I believe
so, and hope that I have made my peace with God.'
They again repeated, ' There is but one God, one
church,' intending, as was supposed, to enlarge upon
that subject : whereupon the bishop answer'd some-
what short, ' I know all this as well as you, but I
am not able to answer you for the failing of my
spirits ; and therefore I desire you to forbear talking

Hereupm tluv seeing they could not effect any
tiling witli liiin, nor engage him in a discourse, took
their leaves, anil tliey themselves gave out, that the
bishop of Chester was dying, and that he would dye
a protestant. As soon as he was dead, the said
bisnop's servant acquainted Will, earl of Powis and
Dr. Anth. Dopping bishop of Meath with his death,
who, with the earl of Longford, took care for his •
funeral after this manner. On Tuesday Apr. 16,
the Ixxly was carried early in the morning from the
house where he died, to'that of the \S. of Meath,
which was near, where several rooms were hung
with black ; and that where the body lay was fur-
nishetl with many lights in sconces, and eight large
tapers on .st;nids about the body, whicli was covered
with a fair velvet jiall. In the aftern<xin all the no-
bility, clergy, judges and gentry, of botli religions,
that were in town, among whom were tlic earl of
Powis and the lord chancellor, came thither : and
about six in the evening his Ixxly was carried in a
velvet herse drawn with six horses cloathcd in black,
and attended by the king at arms, the aforesaid
company in near 30 coaches, and a multitude of
common iK'opJe, to Christ Church in Dublin, where
the siilMlean and choir met the body at the church
door, and sung it into the choir, which was very
much crowded. The service was solenmly )ier-
formed with several andiems, and the iKxly after-
wards interred in the north-east end of the choir, by
the bishop of Meath in his episcopal habit. It was
then commonly reported that king Jam. II. did no-
minate Dr. Jam. Ardernc ' dean of Chester to suc-
ceed Dr. Cartwright in his hislioprick ; but how
true, I cannot tell. Sure it is, that king Will. III.
being then in the throne, he nominated to that see
Dr. Nich. Stratford dean of S. Asaph,^ who ihere-

Cartwright was a man of good capacity, and had
made some j)rogress in learnmg. He was ambitious
and servile, cruel and boisterous : And, by the great
liberties he allowed himself, he fell under nnich
scandal of the worst sort. He had set himself long
to raise the king's authority above law, which he
said was only a method of government to which
kings might submit as they pleased ; but their au-
thority was from God, ab.solute and superior to laws,
which they might exert, as oft as they found it ne-
cessary for the ends of government. So he was
looked on as a man that would more effectually ad-
vance the design of pojiery, than if he should turn
over to it. Burnet, Hist, of his oztyn Time, vol. i,

to keep it during tlie sad affliction of the church of

parson of Air, the heatl-burgh royal of the shire of
Air in the dioc. of Glasgow in Scotland, was bom in
the said burgh an. 1633, and being 5 years of age
was conveyed by his father with his family into
England, in the time of the great reMlion and
presbyterian tyranny an. 1638, tliey being forced to
make their escape thither on account of their loyalty
to their prince and their adherence to the cpi.scopal
government then e.stablislied by law in that king-
dom. He was descended of the Annands of Auch-
terellon, an ancient family in the shire of Aberdeen
and parish of Ellon, but now their estate there is out
of their hands. In 1651 our author W. Annand
became a scholar of -Univ. coll. and tho' then put
under a presbyterian tutor and discipline, yet he
took all occasions to frequent sermons preached by
loyal persons in, and near, Oxon. In 1656, he being
then bach, of arts he took holy orders according to
the church of England from the hands of Dr.
Thomas Fulwar bishop of Ardfert or Kirry in Ire-
land, in the beginning of Aug. and the same year
we find him preacher of God's word at Weston on
the Green near Bister in Oxfordshire, where he
found great encouragement from sir Fr. Norris lord
of that town. After he had proceeded in arts, he
became vicar of Leighton Budezard in Bedfordshire,
where continuing in good repute for his ready and
edifying way of preaching till 1662, he then went,
in the quality of a chaplain, with liis grace John [833]
earl of Midclfeton lord high commissioner of Scot-
land, when he left the court at Whitehall to go to
that kingdom. In the latter end of 1663 he was
instituted to the Tolbooth church at Edenburgh,
where continuing several years, was transplanted to
the Trone church of that city, which is also a pre-
bend.ship. In Apr. 1676 he was by the presenta- '
tion of his majesty, under his royal hand, with the
privy seal of his kingdom of Scotland appended
thereto, made dean of Edenburgh, and on Oct. 1,
an. 1685, he commenced doctor of div. in the
university of S. Andrew. His works, as to learning,
are these.

conveyed in the evening of that day, to the vestry of
that part of S. Giles's church which is called the
High Church of Edenburgh, (in which church, as
dean, he did ordinarily preach) at the very same
time that duke Gordon surrendred up the castle
there to the convention. On the 15th of the said
month he was honourably interT'd in the Grey-friers
church, but without a funeral sermon, because not
permitted by the presbyterians, in whose hands the
magistracy then was. As his life was pious and
devout, so was his sickness and death to the great
comfort of those then present with him. He re-
ceived his viaticum from the hands of Dr. Alex.
Monro principal of king James's coll. of Edenburgh ;
and his colleague in S. Giles's church named Dr.
John Strachan professor of div. at Edenb. did assist
after the manner of the church of England. They
and several other ministers and laics communicating
then with him, he regretted with tears the over-
throwing of their church, saying, ' he never thought
to have outlived the church of Scotland, yet hoped
others should live to see it restored,' &c. His father
Will. Annand before-mentioned, lived very obscurely
divers years after he came into England < but at
length obtaining the vicaridge of Throwley in Kent
1649, and after wai'ds the rectory of Leveland in the
same county, the usurper then ruling, he caused
his son to be educated m learning in a good condi-
tion.

RICHARD SHERLOCK was bom [Nov. 11,
1612 '] at Oxton [in-Werrall] in Cheshire, and origi-
nally (as 'tis said) a student in Magd. hall, where ne
obtained a part of acad. learning.* Thence he was
translated to Trin. coll. near Dubhn, where he pro-
ceeded master of arts in 1633, entred into the sacred
function, and soon after became minister of several
small parishes in Ireland, united together, and yield-

ing no more than 80Z. per an. At length upon the
breaking out of the reljellion in that country, he
journied into England and became chaplain to a
regiment of his majesty's forces at Namptwich in
Cheshire : But that place being taken by the parlia-
ment forces in Jan. 1643, he retired toOxon, where
he became chaplain to the governor of the garrison
there, and at length, by tlie favour of Dr. Pink
warden of New college, he was made one of the
chaplains of that house, much about the time that
P. Gunning and Is. Barrow were made chapleuns
also. In 1646 he had the degree of bach, of div.
conierr'd on him, in consideration of several sermons
that he preached either at court, or before the par-
liament in Oxon ; but in the year 1648, or there-
abouts, being thrown out of his chaplain's place by
the visitors, he became curate for Dr. Jasp. Mayne
in an obscure village called Cassington near Wood-
stock in Oxfordshire, who allowing him \6l. per an.
for his pains (for the vicaridge there is esteemed to
be worth but 50/. yearly) he gave a good part
thereof away to the poor of that place. At length
leaving that cure, upon the ejection of the doctor,
about 1652, he went into Lancashire, became chap-
lain to sir Rob. Bindlosse of Borwick-hall in the
parish of Warton, baronet ; where, as long as he
continued, he was very much troubled with the
people called quakers, against whom he wrote several
things, as I shall tell you anon. After the restora-
tion of king Charles II. an. 1660, he was made
doctor of div. of the univ. of Dublin, and alwut that
lime * by the favour of his honourable patron Charles
earl of Derby (whose chaplain he was) rector of
Winwick in Lancashire, ' a place ' among other fat
benefices of England of greatest name.' He was a
person of a most pious life, exemplary conversation,
of great charity, hospitality, and so zealous a man
for the church of England, that he was accounted
by precise persons popish ly affected, and a papist in
masquerade. He hath written and published.

(of which he was made fellow when bach, of arts)
proceeded in that faculty, took holy orders, and
before the civil war began, he became vicar of
Penbryn in Cardiganshire. Afterwards Ix-ing se-
questred for his loyalty, he taught school at Laug-
hern in Caermarthenshire, where, after a while, he
read the common-prayer and preached, yet not
without some disturbance occasioned by Oliver's
itinerant preachers. After his majesty's restoration
in 1660, he became chauntor of the cathedral church
of St. David, in the place of Dr. GrifF. Higges
deceased, was actually created doct. of divinity,
made chaplain to James duke of York, and about
that time had the living of Llanbedder in the valley,
in Pembrokeshire, conferr'd upon him. In 1665,
Nov. 25, he was installed dean of Worcester in the
place of Dr. Tho. Warmestry deceased, and about
that time he gave up Llanbedder for the rectory of
Hampton Lovet, six miles distant from Worcester.
On the 27th of January 1677 he was consecrated
(with Dr. Sancroft to the see of Cant.) bishop of S.
David, at which time hberty was given him to keep

OBADIAH GREW was born at Atherston in
the parish of Manceter in Warwickshire, in No-
vember 1607, partly educated in grammaticals under
Mr. Joh. Demson his uncle, admitted a student in

Bal. college under the tuition of Mr. Rich. Trimnell,
an. 1624, took the degrees in arts, holy orders at 28
years of age from the hands of Dr. Soliert Wright
bishop of Coventry and Lichfield, and had some
cure I presume bestowed on him in his own country.
In the beginning of tiie civil war, he sided with the
presbyterians, took the covenant, and about that
time became, upon the desire of the mayor, aldermen
and principal citizens of t^ovcntry, minister of the
great parisli of S. Michael in that city : In which
place the soundness of his doctrine (as those of his
jx?rsuasion have told me) the sanctity and prudence
of his conversation, the vigilancy and tcnaemcss of
his care, were of that constant tenor ; that he seemed
to do all that, which S. Gregory wrote a -whole
book (De Cura Pastorali) to tell us it should be
done. By whicli means he ever obtained the love
and respects of the city of Coventry, and his ends
for their good, amongst the citizens thereof. Of his
integrity and courage also, they farther add this
instance, viz. ' In the year 1648, when Oliver
Cromwell, then lieut. general of the forces in Eng-
land, was at Coventry, upon his march towards
London, the said Ob. Grew took his opportunity to
represent to him the wickedness of the design tnen
more visibly on foot, for taking off the king, and
the sad consequences thereof, should it take effect ;
earnestly pressmg him, to use his endeavours to pre-
vent it ; and had his promise for it : And afterwards
when the design was too apparent, he wrote a letter
to him to the same purpose, and to mind him of his
promise. Which letter was conveyed by an honest
gent, (since mayor and alderman of Coventry, now,
or lately, living) t<i a messenger then waiting at
Whitehall, and by him delivered into Cromwell's
own hand,' &,c. In 1651 he accumulated the de-
grees in divinity, and in the next year he compleated
that of doctor by standing in the Act ; much about
which time he preached the Concio ad Clerum with
applause. In 1654 he was apjwinted one of the
assistants to the commissioners of V\ arwickshire for
the ejection of such whom they then called scandal-
ous. Ignorant and insufficient ministers and school-
masters, and continued after, till his majesty's re-
storation, in good repute among the precisians. He
hath written,

A Sinner''s Justification by Christ : or, the Lord
Jesus Christ our Righteousness. Delivered in se-
veral Sermons on Jer. 23. 6. Lond. 1670. oct.

Chapter of S. Luke''s Gospel. Lond. 1678. quarto.
Both written and published at the request, and for
the common benefit, of some of his quondam pa-
rishioners of S. Michael in Coventry. AVhat other
things he hath written, that are fit for the press, I
know not, nor any thing else of him, only that he
died on the 2.2d of Octob. in sixteen hundred eighty
and nine, and that his body was buried in the chancel
of the said church of S. Michael. This divine was

JOHN GOAD, son of Joh. Goad of Bishops-

parish there, 15 February 1615, educated in Mer-
chant-Taylors school, elected scholar of S. John's
college, and admitted in his due course and order
by the just favour of Dr. Juxon the then president,
an. 1632. Afterwards he became fellow, master of
arts, priest, and in 1643 vicar of S. Giles's church in
the north suburb of Oxon by the favour of the pres.
and fellows of his coll. where continuing his duty
very constant, during the time that the garrison was
besieged by the parliament forces, did undergo great
dangers by canon bullets that were shot from their
camp adjoyning, in the time of divine service. On
the 23d of June 1646 he was presented to the vica-
ridge of Yarnton near Oxon, by the chancellor and
masters of this university, by virtue of an act of
parliament begun at Westmmster 5 November, 3
Jac. I. disinabling recusants from presenting to
church livings, and in the year following he was, in
consideration of his sermons preached either before
the king, or parliament, at Oxon, or both, actually
created bach, of divinity. In 1648 he was solicited
by Dr. Franc. Cheynelf one of the visitors appointed
to visit the universUy of Oxon, to return to his col-
lege and fellowship, he having heard of, and partly
known the great worth and merit of him ; but, be-

keeping Yarnton till the king's restoration, did then,
contrary to his friends expectation, take the offer of
Tonbridge school in Kent : But being scarce setled
there, he was in July 1661 made chief master of
Merchant-Taylors school in London. In which place
continuing with good success and great applause till
April 1681, at which time the great and factious city
was possess'd, by the restless presbyterian ministers,
of the sudden introduction to popery among them,
he was summoned to appear before the chief heads
of the .society of Merchant Taylors. In obedience

was made by Joshua Barnes bach, of div. of Cam-
bridge, which begins thus,

Can then a father of our Israel die

The other was made by his great admirer James
Wright of the Middle Temple esq; the beginnihg
of which also is this. ^ ^

THOMAS SYDENHAM, son of William Sy-
denham of Winford Eagle in Dorsetshire, esq; was
bom there, became a commoner of Magd. hall in
Midsummer term, an. 1642, aged 18 years or there- [840]
alK)uts, left Oxon while it was a garrison for his ma-
jesty's use, and did not bear arms for him as other
scholars then and there did, went to London, fell
accidentally into the company of a noted physician
called Dr. Tho. Cox, who finding him to he a per-
son of more than ordinary parts, encourag'd and
put him into a method to study phvsic at his return
to the university. After the said garrison was
delivered to the parliament forces he retired again to
Magd. hall, entred on the physic line, was actually
created bachelor of that faculty in the Pembrockian
creation, in April 1648, having not before taken any
degree in arts ; and about that time subscribing and
submitting to the authority of the visitors appointed
by parhament, he was, thro' the endeavours of a
near relation, made by them fellow of Alls. coll. in
the place of one of those many then ejected for their
loyalty. After he had continued for some years
there in the zealous prosecution of that faculty, he
left the university witnout the taking of any other
degree there ; and at length setled in Westminster,
became doctor of his faculty at Cambridge," an
exact observer of diseases and their symptoms, fa-
mous for his practice, the chief physician from 1 660
to 1670, and in his last days licentiat or permissus of
the college of physicians. He was a person of a
florid stile, of a generous and public spirit, very
charitable, and was more famous, especially beyond
the seas, for his published books, than before he had
been for his practice, which was much lessened after
the year 1670, when then he was laid up with the
terrible disease of the gout. He was famous for his
cool regimen in the small-pox, which his greatest
adversaries have been since forc'd to take up and
follow. He was also famous for his method of giving
the bark after the paroxysm in agues, and for his
laudanum. He hath written,

HENRY HURST, a latenotetl preacher of the
nonconformist's party, son of Henry Hurst sometime
vicar of Mickfcton in (ik)cestershire, was lx)rn there,
entred a batler of Magd. hall after the surrender of
the garrison of Oxon to the parliament forces ; and
being puritannically educated from his childhood,
he submitted to the power of ihe visitors when they
came to reform, or rather deform, the university, an.
[842J 1648. In the latter end of the next year he was
made by them jjrobationer-fellow of Mert. coll.
where, as in the public schools, he shewed him.self a
quick, dexterous and smart disputant. After he
had taken the degrees in arts, he became a frequent

Ereacher in these parts (without any orders from a
ishop) especially in the church or chappel of S.
Cross atHalywell in the suburbs of Oxon, where he
was much frequented by those of his persuasion, and
sometimes by others too, for his edifying way of
preaching. Much about the time of his majesty''s
restoration he left the college and preached in Lon-
don with the good approbation of those of his party.
So that upon the vacancy of the church of S. Mat-
thew in Friday-street in London, he was, by the
majority of the parishioners votes, elected the rector
thereof' In 1662 he was ejected at Biu-tholomew-
tide for nonconformity ; whereujion taking all op-
portunities, he preached in conventicles, for which
he was sometimes brought into trouble. In the lat-
ter end of the year 1671, when then an indulgence
of liberty was granted to nonconformists, he preached
openly in London and sometimes at his native place,
where those of his party would usually say that the
gospel was then come among them : But that indul-
gence being soon after annulPd ujx)n the petition of
the parliament made to his majesty, he returned to
his customary preaching in private, and about 1675
his preaching being much admired by Eliz. countess
of Anglesey, he was taken into the service of her
family, and made chaplain to her lord ; with whom
he continued several years. Upon the breaking out
of the popish plot in September 1678 he shewed
himself very active in aggravating the concerns
thereof, in his preachments and common discourses :
and it was usual with him to vent his mind in con-
venticles (not without some passion) many things
savouring cf treason. But when the fanatical, which
was generally calfd the j)resbyterian, plot broke out
in June 1683 he sculk'd, being closely sought after,
and was several times in danger of being brought
into trouble. When king James II. came to the

ABRAHAM WRIGHT, son of Rich. Wright
citizen and silk dyer of London, son of Jeff. Wright
of Longborough in Leicestershire, was born in Black-
swan-allev in Thames-street in the parish of S. James
Garlicklutli, in London, on the 28d of Decemb.
1611, educated in grammar learning partly in Mer-
cers-Chappel school in Cheapsidc, but mostly in
Merchant-Taylor's school under Dr. Nich. Grey,
elected scholar of S. John's coll. an. 1629 by the en-
deavours of Dr. Juxon president there, who finding
him to be a goo<l orator, especially in proper and
due pronunciation (which in his elderly years he
retained in his sermons and public offices) favoured
him then and afterwards in his studies. Ii^ 1632 he
was elected fellow, and having then a genie which
encUned him to poetry and rhetoric, did, while bach,
of arts, make his collection of Delitiw Poetarum,
being then esteemed also an exact master of the
Latin tongue, even to the nicest criticism. On the
SOth of Aug. 1636, at which time Dr. Laud archb. of
Canterbury entertained the king and queen at S.
John's coll. he spoke an English speech before them
when they entred into the library to see, and be
entertained in, it at a dinner ; and after dinner he
was one of the principal persons that acted in the
comedy called Love's Hospital, or The Hospital of
Lovers, presented before their majesty's in the
pubUc refectory of that house. The chief actor was
the author Mr. George WUde, and the others, who
were all of that house, were John Goad, Humphry
Brook (now one of the coll. of physicians) Edmond
Gay ton, John Hyfield, &c. On the 24th of Septem-
ber 1637, our author Wright took holy orders from
Dr. Francis White bishop of Ely in the chappel at
Ely-House in Holboum near London, and on the
22d of December 1639 he was ordained priest by
Dr. Bancroft bishop of Oxon in Ch. Cli. cathedral ;
at which time he preached the sermon, which was
afterwards printed with 4 more ; And it being then
well approved, and thereupon hcaccountedan elegant
preacher, was the reason why he did frequently ap-
peal- in S. Mary's pulpit in Oxon, before the city of
London at S. Paul's, and before king Charles I.
when he resided in Oxon, in the time of the grand
rebellion. In 1643 he took to him a ■Nvifc from
Yamton near Oxon, and in Aug. 1645 he became
vicar of Okohain in Rutlandshire, by the favour of
Dr. Juxon bishop of London, and thereupon re-
ceived institution from Dr. Towers bi.shop of Peter-

liorough ; but as lor induction he altogether refused,
because lie was tlien to have taken the covenant ; so
one Benjamin King a parliamenteer was put into
that vicaridge. Afterwaids Mr. Wright went to
London and resided there in a retired condition till
after the decollation of king Charles I. About that
time sir George Grime or Graliam of Peckham near
Canibcrwcll in Surrey gave him entertainment in his
house : and because he would not lie idle, he in.
structetl sir George's son in Latin and Greek learn-
ing, read the common-prayer on all sundays and
holydays, and on prii;cipal feasts he preached and
administred the sacraments. About 1655 he was [844J
prevailed with to leave Peckham and to live in
London, where he was chosen by the parishioners
of S. Olave in Silver-street to be their minister and
to receive the profits of that little parish, of which he
was in effect the rector, tlio' formally to take actual
ptissession of the living he would not, (as his nearest
relation hath told me) because he would avoid oaths
and obligations. This employment he kept four
years, and preached constantly twice every Sunday,
once there, and once in some other church, baptized
and buried according to the common-prayer (as the
relator adds) and gave the sacrament according to
the liturgy of the church of England : whereupon
being esteemed one of the cavalier ministers of Lon-
don, as Dr. J. Hewit, Dr. J. Pearson, &c. were, had
his share in troubles and was once or more examined
for keeping intelligence with the loyal party. About
our Lady-day in 1659 he left S. Olavc's church, to
prevent new impositions and engagements then of-
fer'd to such as were in any pubhc ministry, and
applyed liimself to his private studies. After his
majesty's restoration, Benj. King before-mention'd
did by his hand and seal, 2 Aug. 1660, resign up
all his title and pretensions to Okeham, whereupon
he returned in Oct. following and had peaceable
possession delivered to him of the church there. A
little before he had left London to go to Okeham, he
was offer'd to be chaplain to the queen of Bohemia
only sister to king Charles II. but he waved that
honour and went to Okeham. He was a person of
open and profess'd affections for conformity and no
favourer of sectaries and their conventicles, and
therefore not belov'd by the dissenters of his parish,
which was always full of them. His hfe and con-
versation was sober and reserv'd, was a man very
charitable to widows and fatherless children, and
gave money to them and others, amounting to the
twentieth part of tlie true value of his hving. His
works as to learning, are these,

of preachers, and to let tlic people know that any
one that hath been bred a scholar is able to preach
any way to the capacity and content of an auditory.
And secondly that none can do this, but they
only that have had such education : yet notwith-
standing, ordinary capacities are more taken with

his mother Jane, entred in 1666 (without being

near Wormes in the Palatinate, on tlie day of S.
James S. V. an. 1605, educated in grammar, and
in tile reforin''d religion in those parts, travelled into
England in 1625, retired to Oxon about the be-
ginning of Aug. the same year, while the two houses
of parliament were sitting there, continued half an
year in obtaining academical learning, and after-
wards at Cambridge as much. Thence he went
and visited several cities and recesses of the muses
beyond the seas, retumetl in 1629, liecame a com-
moner of Glocester hall, continued there near three
years, but took no degree, and s<x)n after was made
a deacon by Dr. Jos. Hall bishop of Exeter. In
the time of the German wars he was appointed one
of the procurators to receive the benevolence money
which was raised in several dioccsses in England to
be transmitted to Germany, which he usually said
was a ileacon's work, and when the w.ars broke out
in this nation he seemed to favour the interest of
parliament, having lx;en always calvinistically edu-
cated. The prince elector did afterwards liindly
invite him to be his secretary, but he, loving soh-
tude, declined that employment, as he did the resi-
dentship at London for the city of Hamburgh, and
for Fred. III. king of Denmark, &c. The reader
may be pleased now to understand that when the
synod of Dort was celebrated in 1618, care was then
taken that the most learned and pious divines of the
United Provinces should make a new and accurate
translation of the Bible, and annotations to be put
thereunto: In which work they were assisted by
many eminent and able divines from most of the re-
formed churches, and particularly from England by
Dr. Geo. Carleton bishop of Chichester, Dr. Jo.
Davenant B. of Sarum, Dr. Hall B. of Exon. Dr.
Sam. Ward of Cambr. &c. by whose great and as-
siduous lalwurs, jointly for many years together,
the said annotations were compleated, and came
forth in print first, an. 1637. These annotations,
I say, commonly called the Dutch annotations, being
thought very fit, and of great use, by the assembly
of divines sitting at Westm. to be translated into
[846] Engli.sh by the hand of Th. Haak, it was ordered
and ordained by the lords and commons assembled
in pari. 30 of March 1648, for the encouragement
of the said undertaker Theod. Haak, that he, or
whom he should assign, should have the privilege
of printing and vending the said annotations for the
space of 14 years: which term should begin from
the time of the first impression. So tliat none else,
under what pretence soever, should be permitted to
intermeddle in printing the whole, or any part
thereof, upon the pain of forfeiting a thousand
pounds to the said Theod. Haak, &c. Afterwards
the work going forward, and the whole Englished
by Haak, it came out with this title The Dutch An-
notations njmn the whole Bible, together tvifh their

of Dort, 1618. LoncL 1657. in two vol. infol. Be-

and the said translation. Besides the translation of
this great work, Mr. Haak hath translated into
High Dutch several I'-nglish books of practical di-
vinity, as (1) Of the Dcceitfiihuss of Mans Heart,
written by Dan. Dyke. (2) The Christian\s daily
Walk, &c'. written by Hen. Scudder. (3) Tlie old Pil-
gi'im, heivg the Hist, of the Bible, written by Anon,
but not yet printed, as other translations, which he
had made, are not. He also translated into High
Dutch in blank verse, half the poem calletl Paradise
Ijost, written by Joh. Milton; which coming into
the hands of J. Seobald. Fabricius the famous di-
vine at Heidelberg, he was so much taken with it,
that in a letter sent to the translator he tells him

' incredibile est quantum nos omnes afficerit

gravitis stili & copia lectissimorum verborum,'' &c.
He also matle rcaciy for the press before his death
alx)ut 3000 })rovei:bs out of the Germ, into the En-
glish tongue, and as many into the Germ, from the
language of the Spaniard, who are famous for wise
sayings and had most part of them from the Ara-
bians. This Mr. Haak, who was several years fel-
low of the royal society, hath observations and
letters in the Philosophical Collections, which were

tiublished in the beginning of May 1682, and per-
laps in the Transucticms, Qua.>re. At length this
virtuous and learned person departing this mortal
life in the house of his kinsman Fred. Slare or Slear .
M. D. situate and being in an alley joyning to
Fetter-lane, on Sunday the ninth day of May. in
sixteen hundred and ninety, was buried three days
after in a vault under the chancel of S. Andrew's
church in Holbourn near London: At which time
Dr. Anth. Horneck, a German, preached his funeral
sermon, wherein were delivered several remarks of
Mr. Haak's life ; but that sermon being not yet ex-
tant, I cannot therefore refer you to it. Among
the many great and learned acquaintance which Mr.
Haak had, were prince Rupert, Dr. Usher primate
of Ireland, Dr. Williams arclib. of York, Joh. Sel-
den, Dr. Hall bishop of Exeter, Dr. Prideaux B.
of Wore. Dr. Walton B. of Chester, Dr. Wilkins
B. of the same place, Briggs and Pell mathema-
ticians. Dr. W. Alabastei- the poet (whose manu-
script caDed EUsceis he had by him, and kept it as
a choice relique of his deceased friend to the time
of his death) sir Will. Boswell ambassador at the
Hague, who encourage<l him to keep and continue
his correspondence with the learned Merseanus,' and
others of later time.

JOHN RUSHWORTH was born of genteel
parents in the county of Northumberland, educated
for a time in this university in the latter end of the
reign of king Jam. I. but left it soon after without

more to state affairs tlian tlie common law, lie l»cgaii
early to take in characters speeches and passages at
conferences in parliament and from the king's own
mouth what he spake tolx)th houses, and was ufxm
the stage continually an eye and an ear witness of
the greatest transactions. He did also personally
attend and observe all occurrences of moment during
the eleven years interval of parliament, in the star-
chamt)er, court of honour and exchetuicr chamber,
when all the judges of England met tliere ujxni ex-
[847] traordinary cases; and at the council table when
great causes were tried before the king and council.
Afterwards when matters were agitated at a great
distance, he was there also, and went on purjwse,
out of curiosity, to see and observe the passages at
the camp at Berwick, at the fight at Newlwrne upon
Tyne, with the Scots at the treaty at Ripiwn and
at the great council at York, an. 1640. Soon after,
when that parliament called the long parliament
fjegan, which was on the 3d of Nov. the same year,
he was chosen an assistant to Hen. Elsing clerk of
the commons house, by which means he was privy
afterwards to all circumstances in their proceednigs :
And lioth houses having confidence in, they sent their
addresses by, him to the king then at York, being
forced thither by their violent proceedings : And it
•so fell out that he rode several times with that ex-
pedition between I^ondon and that city, which is
150 miles, that he performed the journey in 24
hours. In 1643 he took the covenant, and was a
great man among the presbyterians ; and l)eing near
of kin to sir Thomas Fairfax (for his father and
mother were natives of Yorkshire of antient extract)
he became secretary to him when he w.is made ge-
neralissimo of the parliament f(>rces ; in which office
he obtained, or at least might have so done, what
■wealth he pleased, which might, had he husbanded
it well, have supj)orted his necessities in his last
days. In 1646, when the garrison of Oxon was be-
sieged by the said generalissimo, his help was some-
times required, and when the treaty for the delivery
of it up for the use of the parliament was in agita-
tion, he was often posting to London upon inter-
messages and fatigues, till it was concluded. In
1649 he attended his master (then lord Fairfax)
with several great officers of note to the university
of Oxon, where being all splendidly entertained by
the then chief members thereof of the presliyterian
and independent persuasion, he was actually created
master of arts, and at the same time, he, as a mem-
ber of Queen's coll. was made one of the delegates
to take into consideration the affairs then depending
between the citizens of Oxon, and members of the
said university. After his lord had laid down his
commission as general, he took up his quarters for
some time in Line, inn, and being in great esteem
by the men of those times, he was in January 1651
constituted one of the committee to consult about
the reformation of the conmion law. In 1658 he
was chosen a burgess for Berwick upon Tweed,
(near to which place he had received his first breath)

to serve in that parliament called Richard's pari.
which began at Westm. 27 Jan. the same year, and
again for the same jilace for that which conimencM
25th of Apr. 1660, but for that which began in
May 1661 he was net. In Sept. 1667, at which
time sir Orl. Bridgman was made lord keeper of
the great seal, he was by him made his secretary,
and continuing in that office so kmg as his lord kept
his, he was then again in a capacity of enriching
himself, or at least to lay up something for a wet
day. Afterwards when the popish plot broke out
and the presbyterians and other discontented }>ec>ple
began to be dominant, he was elected burgess for
the same place to serve in that jmrl. which l)egan 6
Mar. 1678, as he was afterwards for that which
commenc'd 17 Oct. 1679, and for the Oxford pari.
that followed ; he being then, as always before, es-
teemed no great friend to the church of England
and prelacy. After the dissolution of Oxford par-
liament, he lived very retiredly and obscurely within
the city of Westminster ; but at length being com-
mitted prisoner for debt to the Kmgs-bench, he
finished his course there, as I shall anon tell you.

priest; was born there, an. 1616, instructed mostly
in grammar learning in Edw. Silvester's school in

tutor in, and moderator or dean of, his house. At
length upon the eruption of the civil war in 1642,
he left the university, adhcr'd to the parliament
party, took the covenant and became a forward and
frequent preacher among them. After the garrison
of Oxon was surrendred to tbe parliament forces, he
returned to the university, and by the authority of
the then dominant party he was created bach, of

Carfax, S. Pet. in the East, &c. bein^^ tlien doct. of
divinity, and took all the ways imaginable to make
his house flourish with young students. At length
the act of conformity being published in 1662, he,
rather than conform, left his principality (tho'' per-
suaded to the contrary by some of the heads of the
university, purptjsely to keep him there, because he
was a good disciplinarian) and lived for some time
in these parts. Afterwards, u{)on the receipt of a
call, he lived by the help of the brethren at Buck-
minster in Leicestershire, where he exercised his
gifts in conventicles, as he did afterwards at Gosfield
in Essex, and in 167^ and after, at Sybill-Henning-
ham near to that place, and at length at Great Con-
nard near Sudbury in Suffolk ; at which last place
he finished this mortal life, as I shall tell you by
and by, having before suffered by imprisonments,
mulcts and loss of his goods and l)ooks for preaching
in conventicles against the act. He was a zealous

Eerson in the way be professed, but oversway'd more
y the principles of education than reason. He was
very courteous in speech and carriage, communica-

the poor ; and so public spirited (a rare thing in a
presbyterian) that he always minded the common
good, more than his own concerns. His works as
to learning are these,

EZEKIEL HOPKINS, son of the curate of

coll. 1649, aged 16 years or thereabouts, usher of
the school adjoyning when bach, of arts, chaplain
of the said coll. when master, and would have been
elected fellow, had his county been eligible, in all
which time he lived and was educated under pres-
byterian and independent discipline. About the
time of his majesty's restoration he became assistant
to Dr. Will. Spurstow minister of Hackney near
London, with whom he continued till the act of
conformity was published ; at which time being
noted for his fluent and ready preaching, some of
the parishioners of S. Matthew Friday-street in
Lonaon would have chosen him to be their rector,
but Mr. Henr. Hurst another candidate carried that
place away from him by a majority.* Afterwards
the parishioners of Allhallows, or else of S. Edmund,
in Lombard-street did elect him to be their preacher,
but the bishop of London would not admit him,
because he was a popular preacher among the fa-
natics. Afterwards he went to the city of Exeter,
where he became minister of S. Mary's church there,
and much approved and applauded for his elegant
and dexterous preaching by Seth bishoj) of that
city. At length John lord Roberts hearing him
accidentally preach to his very great delight, he did
afterwards freely oft'er to him the place of chaplain
when he went m the quality of lord lieutenant of
Ireland, an. 1669. Wiiich office he very freely ac-
cepting, went accordingly with him, and in the latter
end ol that year, or in the beginning of the next, he

was by that lord made dean ol" Rajihoe. S<x)n after
the said lord being recalled into Englaiul, he re-
commended his chaplain to his succes.sor, who also
taking esjxjcial notice of, confcrr'd on, him the
bishoprick of Raphoc, an. 1671, so that by virtue
of letters pat. dat. the 27th of Octob. the same year,
he was consecrated thereunto the 29tli of the same
month. In the latter end of Octob. 16S1 he was
translated to London Derry in the place of Dr.
Mich. Ward deceased; where continuing till the
forces in Ireland under the earl of Tirconnel stood
up in the defence of king James II. against king
William III. he retired into England in 1688, and
in Sept. 1689 he was by the parishioners of S. Mary
Aldermanbury in London elected to be their mi-
nister, upon the removal of Dr. Stratford to the see
of Chester. He hath written.

THOMAS FRANKLAND, a I.ancasliirc man
born, was entred a student in Rrasennoso coll. on
the first of May, an. 1(549, aged 16 years, took a
degree in arts, and in 1G54 was made fellow tliereoi".
Afterwards proceeding in his faculty, he became a
preacher (tho' not in episcopal orders) in those
parts. In 16(52 he was admitted one of the proctors
of the university, and in the year after, being then
in holy orders, lie was with much adoo (his grace
being denied three times, as 1 shall tell you else-
where) admitted to the reading of the sentences.
Afterwards he applied his studies to the faculty of
physic, settled in London, and pretended to be a
doctor of that faculty of O.Kon, when he was in the
company of Cambridge men, and to be doctor of
Cambridge, when in the company of Oxford men.
At length being a candidate to be fellow of the coll.
of physicians, which he could not be without being
doctor, he produced a forged certificate or diploma
to attest that he was doctor of that faculty, and
thereupon he was at length admitted fellow of the
said coll. and afterwards was censor thereof. But
he being of an haiighty, turbulent and huffing spirit,
and therefore much dislik'd by the society, especially
the junioi's, some of them, whom he had much dis-
pleased, were resolved to take him shorter and
humble him. Whereuj)on, they having received a
hint that he was no doctor, they sent privately to
Dr. Jam. Hyde the king's professor of physic and
Mr. Hen. Cooper the public registrary of the univ.
of Oxon, that they would search the registers
thereof, and certify them whether he the said Tho.
Frankland ever took the degree of doctor of phys.
among them : whereupon they, upon their search,
finding no such matter, did accordingly certify them
of it. Afterwards they sent a Latin letter to the
vicechancellor, doctors, proctors and masters of tiie
university to acquaint them with the forgery of the
said Thom. Frankland, desiring them withall that
they would certify the president and community of
the coll. of physicians that he was no dcx-tor of phys.
of their university, which they accordingly did, in
Nov. 1677. However this being a just reason for
his ejection, yet notwithstanding, by the connivance
of the seniors of the said college he did continue af-
terwards among them, but lost much of his credit,
and practice Ux), as I have heard. This person,
who was esteemed a good scholar while he continued
in Oxon, hath written and published.

« RICHARD PEERS, son of a father of both
his names of the city of Down in Ireland, was
educated in giammar learning for a time in that
country, but his father being not in a capacity, as
to wealth, to make him a scholar, he bound him
to his own trade, with intentions to make him a
tanner, as he was ; but the son being weary of
that employment, gave his father the slip, ran
away, and obtaining a prosperous gale, arrived
at, or near to, Bristol, where seeking out a near
relation, was by him entertained for the present.
At length, upon examination of his proficiency in
learning, being found capable of being a scholar,
he was by his said riilation sent to school (to Dr.
Jer. Taylor, as 'tis said, then living in Caermar-
thenshire, sed Quaere) to be instructed in grammar
learning, and afterwards by the intercession of the
said doctor and other friends he was sped a king's
scholar in the college school at Westminster, and
became favour'd by the master thereof Dr. R.
Busby of great renown. In the year 1665, our
author Peers being then above 20 years of age,
and over ripe for the university, he was elected
student of Ch. Ch. where making a hard shift to
rub out (for 'twas usual with him to make the
exercise of idle scholars, either for money or
something worth it from the buttery book) he
took the degrees in arts, and afterwards being
elected superior beadle of that faculty, and of
physic in the place of Franc. White deceased, on
the 21st of Sept. 1675, he, instead of prosecuting
his studies, took to him a wife, and enjoyed the
comforts of the world. In the latter end of the
reign of king James II. he applied his mind to
the study of physic, having been secretly informed
that his beneficial place was to be bestowed on a
person more agreeable with those times ; but
fearing his bulk and fatness, which he had ob-
tained by eating, drinking and sleeping, would
hinder his practice, he quitted that project (tho'
he was licensed to practise physic,) ana was re-
solved, when turn'a out, to withdraw into the
country, and teach a private school. This person
hath written and published, >

county, to serve in that parliament that began at
Westm. 13 Apr. and again for the same place, to
serve in that parliament that began there 3 Nov.

and readiness in pleading, he was appointed one of

the committee to draw up evidence against the most
noble Tliomas earl of Strafford, wlionj afterwards
he baited to some purpose in the name of the com-
mons of England. Afterwards he managed the
evidence against Dr. Laud archb. of Cant, took the
covenant, was one of the lay-men nominated in the
ordinance of the lords and connnons to sit with the
ass. of divines, got then much by his practice, and
became a considerable gainer in a circuit that was
appointed by order of parliament, an. 1647.' In
1653 (1 Ohv. protect.) he was by writ dated 4 Feb.
called to the degree of serjcant at law, having be-
[855] fore taken the engagement, and on the first of May
following he was oy patent made the protector's Ser-
jeant, and pleaded in his and the then cause's behalf
against several royalists that were tried in the pre-
tended high court of justice, wherein several ge-
nerous cavaliers and noble hearts received the dismal
sentence of death. Afterwards he continued in great
repute under that usurper, was setled in his place of
the protector's serjeant by let. pat. under the great
seal of England, continued so in Richard's reign,
and obtained wealth as he pleased, " and was made
" one of the council of state 1659." After his maj.
restor. in 1660, he wheeled al)out, struck in with
his party, took those oaths that he had done before
to king Ch. I. and by writ dated in the beginning
of June he was called again to the degree of Ser-
jeant, was made the king's serjeant by the corrupt
dealing of a great man of the law on the 9th of No-
vember, and knighted on the 16th of the same
month, an. 1660 ; at which time he was appointed
one of the judges, but by several excuses he got
clear oft" from that employment. In the beginning
of 1661 he was elected burgess of Beralston in De-
vonshire to sit in that parliament that began at
Westm. 8 of May in the same year, wherein for
some time he shewed himself a loyal person : But
when he saw to what end the several affairs and in-
terests of men tended, the increase of pensioners
therein, and popery in the nation, he stood up for
the good of his country, and thereupon was es-
teemed by some a patriot. After that parliament
was dissolv'd, he was elected a burgess in his own
country to serve in the next three parliaments that
were called by king Charles II. and in that which
began on the 17th of Oct. 1679 (which, because of
several prorogations, did not sit till 21 of Oct. 1680.)
he was one of the committee app)inted to manage
the evidence against "William viscount Stafford, im-
peached of high-treason relating to the popish plot,
but being then an aged man, he was not so eager in
that employment, as he was before against Strafford.

chosen burgess for Beralston again, to sit in that

when the prince of Orange l)ecame king by the
name of Will. III. he, with Anth. Kecke of the
Inner Temple, escj; and Will. Rawlinson serjeant at
law, were on the 2d of March or thereabouts, an.
1688, constituted lords commissitmers of the great
seal of England. In the year following he was
chosen burgess for Plymouth to sit in that pari, that
began at Westm. 20 March 1689, but being then
grown very infirm by his great age, he gave up his
place of commissioner soon after : whereupon their
majesties did in the beginning of June lo90 con-
stitute sir Joh. Trevor, knight, speaker of the house
of commons, the said W. Rawlinson, then a knight,
and sir Geo. Hutchins, commissioners of the said
great seal, and on the third of the said month, being
all three sworn, their majesties were pleased to de-
liver to them the seal, witli their commissions. This
sir Joh. Maynard was a person, who, by his great
reatling and knowledge in the more profound and
perplexed parts of the law, did long since procure
the known repute of being one of the chief dictators
of the long rooe, and by his great practice for many
years together did purchase to himself no small es-
tate. And however obnoxious he hath rendred him-
self on other accounts, yet I judge my self, out of
the sense of public gratitude, obliged to speak here
thus much in his just vindication, viz. that he did
always vigorously espouse the interest and cause of
his mother the university of Oxon (contrary to what
others of his profession, on whom she hath laid
equal engagements, have too commonly done) by
always refusing to be entertained by any against
her : and when ever persons delegated by her au-
thority, for the management of her public litigious
concerns, have applyed themselves to him for his
advice and assistance, he did most readily yield both,
by acting his best on her behalf.' This sir Jo.
Maynara hath these things following extant under
his name.

" logue will partly tell ye, but whether this Rob.
" Lovel was arj Oxford man by education, I cannot
" yet justly tell you."

RICHARD LOWER, the late eminent phy-
sician, was lx)rn of a genteel family at Tremcre near
Blisslaiul and IJodmin in Cornwal, elected from the
college school at Westminster a student of Ch. Ch.
an. 1649, aged 18 years or thereabouts, took the
degrees in arts, that of master being comjileated in
1655, entred upon the physic line, and practised
that faculty under Dr. Tho. Willis, whom he helped,
or rather instructed, in some parts of anatomy, espe-
cially when he was meditating his lxK)k Dc Cere-
hro, as I have elsewhere told you. In Apr. 1664
he, in his travels with the said doctor to visit patients,
made a discovery of the medicinal water at East
Throp commonly Astrop near Kings-Sutton in
Northamptonshire, the doctor being then, as usually,
asleep or in a sleepy condition on horseback. Af-
terwards, our author Lower imparting his discovery
to the doctor, they in their return, or when they
went that way again, made experiments of it, and
thereupon understanding the virtue thereof, the
doctor commended the drinking of it to his patients.
Soon after the water was contracted into a well, and
upon the said commendations, 'twas yearly, as to
this time it is, frequented by all sorts of people. In
1665 our author Lower took the degrees in physic,
practised the transfusion of blood from one animal
mto another, and, as if he had been the first dis-
coverer, took the invention of it to himself in his
book De Corde, but mistaken, as I have told you
elsewhere. See my discourse of Franc. Potter, un-
der the year 1678. vol. iii, col. 1156. However the
members of the royal society took the hint from his
practice, and made experiments of it in the year
following. In 1666 he followed Dr. Willis to the
great city, and settling at first in Hatton-Garden,
practised under him and became fellow of the said
society. Afterwards, growing famous, he removed
to Salisbury-court near Fleetstreet, and thence to
Bow-street, and afterwards to King-street near Co-
vent-Garden ; where being much resorted to for his
successful practice, especially after the death of Dr.
WiUis, an. 1675, he was esteemed the most noted
physician in Westminster and London, and no
man's name was more cried up at court than his, he
being then also fellow of the coll. of physicians. At
length upon the breaking out of the popish plot in
1678 (about which time he left the royal society,
and thereupon their experiments did in some man-
ner decay) he closed with the whiggs, supposing
that party would carry all before them : But being
mistaken, he thereby lost much of his practice at
and near the court, and so consequently his credit.
At that time a certain physician named Tho. Short «

a R. C. struck in, and carried all before Iiim tlicre,
and got riches as lie pleased ; but he dying in the
latter end' of Sept. 1685, most of his practice de-
volved on Dr. Job. Radcliffe." The works of Dr.
Lower are these,

He was by education a Rom. cath. hut yet such a libertine
in that religion, that he wrote two discourses, one against the
pope's infallibility, and the other against transubstantiation,
which went about in MS. and for which the priests and Je-
suits not only suspected, but liaied, liim very much. He was
very familiar and friendly wiih Rr. Tenison, minister of his
parish, avoiding all disputes iti matters of religion, and often
staying to join in the office of the visitation of the sick. He
was one of the physitians admitted to inspect the body of king
Charles II. and upon the s]>ot made such shrugs and intima-
tions of his being apparently poison'd, that king James did
never rightly countenance him. And in his following con-
versation was so free and open upon that matter, that he was
himself poison'd by one who fetcht him to a patient below
the Tower, and gave him a cordial to bear his passage the
better on the water ; which he found to operate when he got
back thro' the bridge, and sent for physicians the next uiorn-
ing, and told his case. Ken N F.T.J

used to shew that humour in every visit he made.
He went very often to Nell GwynnCj and would
pick out of her all the intrigues of the court of king

" THOMAS PIERCE, son of Joh. Pierce, was
born in a market town in Wilt, called Devises,

been mayor) educated mostly in grammar learning
under William White in the free-school joyning
to Magd, coll. great gate, was first one of the
choiristcrs for several years, then demy of the said
coll. an. 1639, aged 17 years, and after he was
bach, of arts he became fellow. In 1644 he pro-
ceeded master of that faculty, being then esteemed
a gootl {x)et, and well skilPd in the theory and

f»ractice of music, and in 1648 he was ejected
rom his fellowship by the committee for tlie re-
formation of the university of Oxon, upon in-
formation and suspicion that he wrote a sharp
libel against the parliam. visitors then sitting in
the said university. Afterwards he became rector
of Brington in Northamptonsh.' which he kept
during the reigns of Oliver and Rich. Cromwell,
and was much followed and admired for his
smooth and edifying way of preaching. At

length, after the restoration of king Charles II.
(to whom he was chapl. in ord.) he became canon
of Canterbury, was actually created D. of D. by
virtue of the king's letters, in the beginning of
Aug. 1660; installed preb. of Langf'ord manor
in the church of Lincoln on the 2.5th of Sept. fol-
lowing, and in the year after he became president
of Magd. coll. on the decea.se of Dr. Joh. Oliver.'
But the true government of that house being
much interrupted and disturb'd, while he sate at
the stem there (he being more fit for the pulpit
than to be a governor) he did, upon the promise
of some other preferment, resign that office,* and

that most learned and reverend D'. John Oliver, dean of Wor-
cester and president of Magdalen college in Oxford, was bu-
ried in that college chapel wiih great solemnity, the whole
university attending his corps, wiih large expressions of uni-
versal sorrow for so unvulnable a loss ; whose memory is pre-
cious to all that knew him, either in his academical exercises
and offices, or when domestic chaplain to that renowned
martyr William lord archbishop of Canterbury, or since all
along these bst worst times. He was strangely desirous to
leave this world, though few alive had such temptations to
slay in it : for he lived to sec himself head and governor of
the college he was bred in, and his own scholar lord high
chancellor of England, as well as of the university, Edward
earl of Clarendon, to whom he gave a legacy as a grateful me-
morial, seal'd up in a paper, besides which and two or three
legacies to his nephews, niece, and servants : all that God
had sent hini since his majesty's restauraiion (for till then he
was sttipp'd of all) he gave wholly to pious uses, either to the
poor, or reparation of churches, viz of St. Paul's, Winchester,
Worcester, and to the college — ^Tliis most learned, meek
and pious person was a Kentish man born, and originally of
Merton college, was afterward successively demy and fellow
of that of Magdalene, where his eminence in learning and
orlho<lox principles in religion being conspicuous, he was
taken into the service of Dr. Laud, archbishop of Canter-
bury, and by him made his domestick chaplain, and pro-
moted in the church ; but losing all in the titiie of the rebel-
lion, he was elected president of his college in April l644,
upon the advancement of Dr. Frewen to the see of Litchfield.
In the latter enil of lfi47 he was turned out of his president-
ship by the committee of lords and commons for the re-
formation of the university of Oxon, and in the beginning of
the next year, by the visitors themselves in their own proper
persons, so that afterwards living obscurely and in great
hardship, he wanted the charities which he before bestowed
on the poor and the publick, being in a manner the object
of charity himself. On the 18th of May 1660, he was by
authority of parliament restored to his presidentship, and on
the 22nd of the same month he look possession thereof, being
the first of all loyul head? that was restored to what they had
lost in this university. .Soon after he was by his majesty's
favour (upon the motion of the earl of Clarendon formerly
his pupil) nominated dean of Worcester in the place of Dr.
Richard Holdsworth who died 1649, in which dignity he was
installed September 12th 1660, and kept it to the lime of his
death, which happening Octob. 27th 166I, was buried in
Magdalen college chapel. — A good benefactor to his college,
to which his two immediate predecessors Wilkinson and
Goodwin, who were thrust in by the parliament and Oliver
for their saintship and zeal to the blessed cause, gave not a
farthing, but rak'd and scrap'd np all that they could get
thence, as the rest of the saints then <lid in the university. —

" upon the promotion of Dr. Ralph Brideoake to

" Salisbury 4 May 1675, which dignity he kept to
" his dying day. He was a person well read in
" authors, whether civil or prophane, of a florid
" stile, a zealous son of the ch. of England, tho'
" originally a Calvinist, but above all a most excel-
" lent preacher, whether in the English or the Lat.
" tongue. The quicker pregnancy of his parts, the
" ingenious keenness of his pen, and the compleat
" excellency of his learning, many of his greatest
" adversaries did often confess and acknowledge,
" but oftner found experiment in those most no-
" torious overthrows and palpable foils which he
[859] " gave them. He was a resolute maintainer of the
" antient establishment of the English church, and
" a stout asscrtor of her due rights, especially in
" such a time, when it was accounted matter of the
" deepest guilt to have so much courage, as either
" to own the one, or publicly to appear in defence
" of the other. He, Hammond and Heylyn (all
" formerly of Magd. coll.) were the chiefest cham-
" pions among the old, regidar and conformable
" clergy, who victoriously engaged many of the
" most specious and plausible jjamphleteers, whose
" scurrilous and violent libels, the rank liberty of
" the boundless press midwivM into the miserably
" torn and distracted nation. He was a person very
"well read and ' exercis'd in the quinquarticular
" controversies ; the warmer and too passionate de-
" bate of which between some eminent divines, as
" not being managed with a sufficient allay of cha-
" rity, moderation and temper, hath now for about

an. 1603, his mother named Mary (daughter and
co-heir of Anthony Bourne of Holt-Castle in Wor-
cestershire esq;) being then in her journey towards
London ; educated in grammar learning in Here-
fordshire, and afterwards sent to the ■• university
of Oson, about 1616, but to what house of learn-
ing therein, unless Christ Church, I cannot tell,
for I do not find him then matriculated. Soon
after his father sent for him to Doway in Flanders,
where he then was, as I have told you in the second
vol. of these Athen.k, col. 318 : and soon after sent
him to the Enghsh coll. of Jesuits at St. Omers,
where by the authority of his father, and espe-
cially by the persuasions of fath. Joh. Floyde a
Jesuit (the same who wrote himself Daniel e Jesu
and fell * fouly upon Will. Chillingworth for his
apostacy, (as he calls it) that is for his returning to

" Jesuit : yet notwithstanding some of the society
" found out a way to draw him unto them (as an
" author' of little or no note tells us) ' which was a
" subtle and crafty one indeed, viz. to entice him to
" take the spiritual exercise, which he refused not,
" being a matter of honour amongst the catholics to
" enter into,' &c. After he had ran thro' the several
" classes of logic and philosophy, his father sent him
" into England to do for him some business relating
" to his estate, but before he returned, his father
" died ; whereu[X)n he travelled into several coun-
" tries, promotc>a his studies in the sacred faculty,
" and became many ways accomphshed, whether
" you took him as a gentleman, or as a scholar.
" At length returning into England to look after
" his concerns, he was by the prevailing advice and
" arguments of Dr. Tho. Morton bishop of Durham
" reconciled to the church of England. Soon after
" upon the desire of Dr. Laud he went to Oxon,
" was admitted into Ch. Ch. and as a member
" thereof matriculated in the university. On the
" 21st of Nov. 1635, he, by his dean, did suppli-
" cate, as a student in div. in a convocation then
" held, that ' it might be graciously dispensed with
" him that the ten years time which he had spent
" in die study of divinity in foreign nations might
" be reckoned to him as if he had studied in this
" university, and that after he had performed his
" exercise, requisite by the statutes, for the degree
" of bach, of div. he might (tho' he had not taken
" the degree of master, or entred into holy orders in
" due time) have his grace proposed in congregation
" to be admitted to the reading of the Epistles of S.

" Paul, or of the sentences. This being granted,

" he did perform his exercise very accurately and
" learnedly, as Dr. Tho. Washbourne, sometime
" preb. of Gloucester, who was one of his oppo-
" nents, did usually report. In 1636 he was adinit-
" ted to the reading of the sentences, that is, to the
" degree of bach, of div. became about that time
" minister of a church in Gloucestershire, and rector
" of Harding in Oxfordshire. In the beginning of
" the year 1639 he was appointed chaplain to the
" earl of Northumberland m the Scotch expedition,
" and on the first of Aug. the same year he was col-
" lated (on the resignation of Will. Townson) to the
" prebendship of Minor pars Altaris in the church
" of Salisbury. In the beginning of the year 1640
" he was admitted doctor of div. being about that
" time chaplain to his mai. king Charles I. who was
" so well satisfied with his integrity and loyalty,
" that he afterwards intrusted him with his secret
" commands to several of the great officers in his
" army, to the hazard of his life, and in the same
" year he became the eighth prebend, of the seventh
" stall in the church of Worcester on the death of

Dr. Joh. Pocklington then lately deprived of all
his spiritualities oy order of parliament, and in
the latter end of 1644 he became dean of Here-
ford in the place of Dr. Jonathan Browne de-
ceased, as I have told you in the Fasti under the
year 1630. In the tune of the most barbteius
and unnatural rebellion he was divested of all his
spiritualities, and was constrained to a very narrow
fortune.' In which condition remaning till his
majesty's return to his kingdoms, an. 1660, he was
then restored to his deanery and other spirituali-
ties which before he had left. On the 27th of
Dec. 1661 he was nominated by his maj. bishop
of Hereford in the place of Dr. Nich. Monke
deceased ; to which see being consecrated on the
9th of Feb. following (Shrove-Sunday) in the
archbishop''s chappel at Lambeth (Dr. Jasper
Mayne of Ch. Ch. preaching then the consecra-
tion sermon) he became afterwards much vene-
rated by the gentry and commonalty of that dio-
cese for his learning, doctrine, conversation and
good hospitality ; which rcndred him a person in
their esteem fitted and set apart by God for his
honourable and sacred function. Which prefer-
ment lieing in his time scarce worth 800/. per an.
yet it being the country of his ancestors, and of
very many of his relations, he was so well satisfied
with it that he refused the offer of greater prefer-
ment by king Charles II. as it was well known by
most of his contemporaries at court, where he
served as dean of his majesty's chappel royal from
the 8th of Feb. 1667 to the beginning of March
1669 ; when being then weary of a court life or
(in truth) finding but little good effect of his pious
endeavours there,' he retired to his episcopal see,
where by his strict rules in admission to holy
orders, especially that of priesthood, and in con-
ferring the dignities of the church, he dissatisfied
many more of the clergy, than he obhged, for no

' [Soon after the takine of Hereford, this excellent doctor
preaching ai the' cathedral there, inveighed boldly and sharply
against sacrilege ; at which, some of the officers then present
(jo little doth a guilty conscience need an accuser) began to
mutter amongst themselves ; and a guard of musqueteers in
the church, were preparing their pieces, and asked whether
they should fire at him ; but colonel Birch the governour
prevented them. The confusions, al that time, were such,
that he received lillle or no profit from his deanery, betwixt
the nomination, and the dissolution of the cathedrals ; and
afterwards must have been constrained to live upon charity,
had not the fair estate of the family devolved upon him by the
death of his brother sir William Croft. During great part (at
least) of the usurpation, he resided with sir Roland Berkley,
at Cotheridge, in Worcestershire; having been divested of all
his preferment. Walker, Sufferings ojf the Clergy, part ii,

in the room of Morley. Crofts was a warm devout man, but
of no discretion in his conduct : so he lost ground quickly.

" solicitations could prevail with him to admit any to
" be prebendaries of that church but such that lived
" witliin his diocese, that the duty of tiie church
" miglu not be neglected, and the small livings aug-
" raented. He would often please himself with the
" effecting this pious design of having all the digni-
" taries and prebendaries to live within his own
" diocese, (which he hved to accomplish) hoping
" that this example would influence his successors to
" take the same course. He made but little public
" shew of his charity, as many that are truly prudent
" and pious do not, but they that were privy to
" his concerns know it was very ample, in aug-
" menting small livings, and relieving many in dis-
" tress, besides a weekly dole to 60 poor people at
" his palace gate in Hereford, whether resident there
" or not ; for his country-house being situated in the
" center of his diocese, he spent much time there,
" where he was no less charitable in relieving the
" poor and visiting the sick in the neighbouring pa-
" rishes, as 'tis very well known. He was very
" friendly and loving to his clergy, a tender father,
" and the best of husbands : And as for his leam-
" ing, which was not common, the Ixwks that he
" wrote (the titles of which follow) do shew that he

" f»arts of learning.

' [And now I am upon the subject of latitude, I will beg
leave of the reader to tell him a story of toleration, or com-
prehension, (for the difference sometimes is not great be-
tween them) which in the end will touch a little on our
preacher ; of whom I must observe once for all, that it is his
opinion that an historian who favours his own side is to be
forgiven, though he puts a little too much life in his colours,
when he sets out the best side of his party, and the worst of
those from whom he differs; and if he but slightly touches
the failures of his friends, and severely aggravates those of the
other side, though in this he departs from the laws of an

catalogue of those books written by him, put at
the end of another by a bookseller, to shew that
such books were sold by him. Tlius far for the
answers of the said book called The Naked Truth.,
which, as I understand by a letter written by a
knowing gent, a neighbour of Inshop Croft in He-
refordshire, dat. 13 June 1676, was then lately
(as he was credibly inform'd) translated into French
by the Hugonets, who are at great variance about
it, some hking it, others not, &c. The reader
may be now pleasetl to know, that besides the
aforesaid pamphlet entit. The Naked Truth, have
been other parts .since published bearing the said
title, but not written dv the same autiior ; and
such are these, (1) The Naked Truth; the.secomd
Part. In several Enquiries concerning the Can-
nons and Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction, &c. Lond.
1681. in 17 sh. in fol. which book, with A Vindi-
cation of the Naked Truth, tfie second Part ;
against the trivial Objections of one ^ Fulwood in
a libelling Pamphlet called Leges Angliw, &c.
were written by Ecbnund Hickeringhill rector of

exact historian, yet this biass is so natural, that if it lessens
the credit of the writer, yet it doth not blacken him. Re-
^flections on the History of Varillas, p. 7i 8. This shews how
apt he is to favour his own friends, and his own party, beyond
what is just and true : and being a known latitudinarian, by
his own rule we can never safely trust him when he com-
mends or defends any of his friends of thai side; and it was
upon the score of latitudinarism, and mystical devotion, that
he loved to extol Dr. l^yton, though by some canons he
hath cited in his history of the right of princes he was an
usurper of the see of Glasgow, as Dr. Tillotson was esteemed
to be in a more offensive decree of the sec of Canterbury.
But lo return to his admired Dr. Layton, he was so great a
libertine in comprehension, that he freely offered to receive
the ejected presbyterian ministers without episcopal ordina-
tion, if they would come in, and to transact all things in the
government of the church with his presbyters by plurality of
suffrages, strictly speaking as if he were no more ttian a pres-
byter among them. Archoishop Burnet, into whose chair he
intruded, told Dr. Gunning bishop of Ely this story cf his in-
truder, and he wondering that any bishop should give up that
power without which he could not act as bishop, asked Dr.
Burnet of the truth of it, which he positively denied. This
denial of his obliged the good archbishop for his vindication
to refer bishop Gunning to a book which he had left with a
friend, for the truth of what he had told him of the compre-
hensive latitude of Dr. Layton. I saw the book and remem-
ber it was printed at Glasgow, and it so fully satisfied the
bishop that he took it home with him ; but before he went
made some reflections on the want of ingenuity in Dr. Burnet
and concluded his animadversions upon him with a trick he
shew'd himself. It relates to a book called Naked Truth ; which
the bishop intended to answer. Dr. Burnet, among others,
hearing of it, come to wait upon him ; and when that dis-
course arose between them he asked the bishop upon what
volume he intended to make his answer, he who was one of
the most frank and communicative men in the world, told
him how he would answer it from part to part : which the
doctor observing with design, carried every thing away, and
being a swift and ready writer, printed his answer to it, be-
fore the other had finished his. Hickes, Discourses upon

of the said bisnop Croft I find these words : ' And
I do in all humble manner most heartily thank
God, that he hath been most graciously pleased by
the light of his most holy gospel to recall me from
the darkness of popish errors and gross supersti-
tions, into which I was seduced in my younger
days, and to settle me again in the true ancient
catholic and apostolic faith professed by our church
of England, m which I was born and baptized,
and in which I joyfully die with full assurance by
the merits of my most blessed Saviour Jesus to
enjoy eternal happiness,' &c. By his said will he
setled 1200^. and the product thereof, for ever for
several charitable uses, as therein are directed, of
which 1 4/. per an. he appointed for an augmenta-

^ [The bishop married Anne, daughter of Dr. Jonathan
Browne dean of Hereford (his predecessor) and left behind
him one son, Herbert. The following character of this pre-
late is given by Mr. Browne Willis. He was a man, says this
author, of exemplary charity, and had so strict a regard to his
cathedral, that no sollicitations could ever prevail on him tn
admit any person whatever to be prebendary thereof, but
what live<l within his diocese; which having accomplished
and compleated himself, by introducing a set of prebenda-
ries, all of his diocese, he hoped his successors would follow
his exam[ile ; which certainly, had they done, would have
been of extraordinary benefit, and beyond any thing, kept up
the dignity of the mother church, by spreading the interest
of its members, to influence the gentry, &c. to support the
fabrick, as well as encouraged the clergy to live hospitably,
and exemplary in their cures, to recommend themselves to
their bishops to prefer them — He died at Hereford, May 18"''
1691, and was buried May 28th following, in his own cathe-
dral, with this inscription on his grave-stone, within the com-

going. He had three brothers named William,
James and Robert, who all lived to serve their
king and country in the wars during the reign of
king Charles I. under whom they all served as
colonels, and for their stout and faithful service,
the two eldest were* knighted by h'un. The
first (sir William) was kill^ at Stoke Castle near
Ludlow in Shropshire on the 9th of June 1645,
and the second sir James lived to the year 1659,
after he had suffer'd much for his loyalty to his
king. The said bishop Croft left behind him a
son of both his names, educated iii the condition
of a commoner in Magd. coll. in this university,
afterwards created a baronet by his maj. king
Charles II. on the 18th of Nov. 1671, being then
a gentleman of good parts and judgment, a zealous
protestant according to the church of England,
and of good esteem in his own country, as appears
by his being twice elected knight of Herefordshire
to serve in parliament, viz. for that which began
at Westm. 20 Mar. 1689.

'** the death of Dr. Joh. Morris he became Hebrew
" professor, and so consequently canon of Cli. Ch.

" of the king then a prisoner in the isle of Wight,
" and afterwards of the committee of parliament for
" the reformation of the university of Oxon, in which
" committee the learned Seldcn being one, shewed
" himself then a real friend to our author Pocock,
" who, tho' he then submitted to the visitors ap-
" pointed by the parliament to reform, or rather
" deform, the university, yet about the latter end of
" 1650, or in t"he beginning of 1651, he was ejected
" from his canonry and Hebrew professorship for re-
" fusing the independent oath called the engage-
" ment. Afterward he retired to Childrey, and
" came over to Oxford in the Lent and long vacation
" (during which times he lived as a fellow commoner
" in Baliol coll.) to read his Arabic lecture, which he
" was suffered to keep, because there was then no
" person in the university fit to perform the same.
" However he was not long after m danger of losing
" that rectory for want of sufficiency, which was
" alledged against him by some of the ignorant com-
" missioners and their assistants of Berkshire ap-
" pointed by Oliver the protector to eject such whom
" the said saints then (1654) called scandalous, ig-
" norant andinsufficient ministers and schoolmasters;
" but by the endeavours of Dr. Joh. Owen dean of
" Ch. Ch. and other doctors of the university, who
" knew the great merits of the person, he was, by
" their intercession, and satisfaction given to the
" commissioners by them of his great learning, suf-
" fcred to continue in his said rectory. After the
" king's return in 1660 he was restored to his ca-
" nonry, actually created doctor of divinity, and
" became famous and much admired at home and
" beyond the seas for his great knowledge in the
" Oriental tongues, and for the books by him pub-
" hshed. He is honourably mentioned by Jo. Ger-
" hardus on Peter, and other outlandish men, who

" ^eat abilities : And it was then hoped by all cu-
" rious men (when this last was published) that as

' [Notwithstanding the length of the following extracts I
cannot refrain from giving the reader a character of Pocock
as drawn by the celebrated John Locke, In a letier dated
July '23, 1703, addressed to Mr. Smith of Dartmouth.

' So extraordinary an example, in so degenerate an age,
deserves for the rarity, as I was s^i'ig to say, for the incre-
dibility of it, the atlCitaiiou of all that knew him, and con-
sidered his worth. The Christian world is a witness of his
great learning, that, the works he published would not suffer
to be conceafcd ; nor could his devotion and piety be hid,
and be unobserved in a college, where his constant and regu-
lar assisting at the cathedral service, never interrupted by
sharpness of weather, and scarce restrain'd by downright want
of liealth, shewed the temper and disposition of his mind r
but his other virtues and excellent qualities had so strong and
close a covering of modesty and unaffected humility, that,
though they shone the brighter to those who had the oppor-
tunities to be more intimately acquainted wiih him, and
eyes to (liscern and distinguish solidity from shew, and esteem
virtue, thatsought not reputation, yet they were the less taken
notice of, and talked of by the generality of those, to whom
he was not wholly unknown ; not that he was at all close
and re-ierved, but on the contrary, the readiest to communi-
cate to any one that consulied him. Indeed he was not for-
ward to talk, nor ever would be the leading man in the dis-
course, though it were on a subject that he understood better
than any of the company, and would often content himself lo
sit still and hear others debate in matters which he himself
was more a master of. He had often the silence of a learner
where he had the knowledge of a master, and that not with
a design, as is often, that the ignorance any one betrayed,
might give him the opportunity to display his own knowledge
with the more lustre and advantage, to their shame, or cen-
sure them, when they were gone ; but these arts of triumph
and ostentation, frequently practised by men of skill and abi-
lity, were utterly unknown to him : it was very seldom that
he contradicted any one, or if it were necessary at any time lo
inform any one better, who was in a mistake, it was in so
soft and gentle a manner, that it had nothing of the air of
dispute or correction, and seemed to have little of opposition
Id it. I never heard him say any thing that put any one
that was present the least out of countenance ; nor ever cen-
sure, or so much as speak diminishingly of any one that was
absent. He was a man of no irregular appetites : — though he
was a man of the greatest temperance in himself, and the
farihest from ostentation and vanity in his way of living, yet
lie was of a liberal mind and given to hospitality, which con-
sidering the smallness of his preferments, and the numerous
family of children he had to provide for, might be thought to
have out-done those who made more noise and shew. His
name, which was in great esteem beyond sea, and that
deservedly, drew on him visits from all foreigners of learning,
who came to Oxford to see that university : they never failed
to be highly satisfied with his great knowledge anil civility,
which was not always without expence. Though at the
restoration of king Charles, his merits were so overlooked or
forgotten, that he was barely restored to what was his before,
without receiving any new preferment then or at any time
after ; yet I never heard him take any the least notice of it,
or make any the least complaint, in a case that would have
sorely grated on some men's patience, and have filled their
mouths with murmuring and their lives with discontent.
But he was always unaffectedlvchearful, no marks of any thing
that lay heavy at his heart, for being neglected, ever broke
from him ; he was so far from having any displeasure lie con-
cealed there, that whenever any expressions of dissatisfaction
for what they thought hard usage broke from others in his pre-
sence, he always diverted the discourse, and if it were any
body with whom he might take that liberty, he silenced it

. « JOHN FLAVEL, son of Rich. Flavel somc-
" time minister of llasellor in Warwicksliire, and
" afterwards of Willersey near Camdun in Gloccs-
" tershire wa-s born in Glocestershire, became a ser-
" vitor or batler after the rendition of the ojarrison
" o( Oxon for the use of the parliament, in Univer-
" sity college, where continuinsi; about two years,
" he, by virtue of a call, set up for a preacher, with-
" out any orders from a bishop, at Dipford in De-
" vonshire, and there obtained the character among
" factious people of a precious young man. Then
" he removed to a sea-port town in that county
" called Dartmouth, where, for a few years before
" the act of conformity, he was assistant to the vicar
" in the church of Tounstall, and one of the then
" lecturers in the chappel of S. Saviour annext.
" After S. Bartholomew's day, an. 1662, which the
" nonconformists called The black day, his ordinary
" residence was at Dartmouth, where he became
" famous in his conventicle, for a popular kind of
" canting rhetoric kept up, and with his utmost
" industry increased the separation, grew rich by
" marrying wives, and his continual complaining of
" persecution.'" [ — a great dissembler. He obtained
not only more disciples than ever John Owen the
independent, or Rich. Baxter the presbyterian did,
but more wives than both (four at least in number
according to the custome of the saints) by which he
obtained a very considerable estate. He was an
unparalefd impudent plagiary ; did not stick to rob
(if I may so speak) in the face of the sun, as any

with visible niarlis of dislike. Though he was not a forward,
much less an assuming talker, yet he was the farthest in the
world from sullen and morose ; he would talk very freely and
very well of all parts of learning, besides that wherein he was
known to excel ; but this was not all : he could discourse
very well of oiher things. He was not unacquainted with the
worUI, though he made no shew of it. His backwardness to
meddle in other people's matters, or to enter into debates
where names and persons were brought upon the stage, and
judgements and censures were hardly avoided, concealed his
abilities in matters of business and conduct from most people.
But yet I can truly say, that 1 knew not anyone in that uni-
versity, whom I would more willingly consult in any affair
that required consideration, nor whose opinion I thought
better worth the hearing than his, if he could be drawn to
enter inio it, and give his advice. Though in company he
never used himself, nor willingly heard from others, any per-
sonal reflections on other men, though set ofl' with a sharp-
ness that usually tickles, and by most men is mistaken for
the best, if not ihe only, seasoning of pleasant conversation,
yet he would often bear his part in innocent mirth, and by
some apposite and diverting story, continue and heighten the
good humour. 1 do not remember that in all my conversa-
tion with him, I ever saw him once angry, or to be so far
provoked, as to change colour, or countenance, or tone of
voice; displeasing accidents and actions would sometimes oc-
cur: there is no help for that: but nothing of that kind
moved him, that I saw, to any passionate words, much less
to chiding for clamour. His life appeared to me one con-
stant calm. To conclude, 1 can say of him, what few men
can say of any friend of theirs, nor I of any other of my ac-
quaintatice, that 1 do not remember I ever saw in him any
one action that I did, or could in my own mind, blame, or
thought amiss in him.' Life, by Twells, page 24.]

curious reader may discern from those books which
he hath published : The titles of most of which I
shall anon set downe (and in the meane time tell
you, that a few dayes before he died, he being at a
general meeting of the dissenting ministers of Devon-
shire, met at Topsham, was chosen moderator of that
assembly : whicli office he the more readily accepted,
because that he might have the better opjwrtunity
to carry on the blessed unitin<j work, as he called it.
After the election he wrote a letter the same morn-
ing that he died at night, to an eminent dissenting
minister living in London, to give him an account
of the proceedings of that meeting. What I have
further to note of this person, before I speak of his
works is (1) That before the restoration of K. Ch. 2.
he took all occasions to preach against him, his cause
and every little thing that he could meet with that
made against him, he usually published it to his
disciples either in the pulpit or m liis common dis-
course. (2) That it was his usual course to raile
against episcopacy, bishops, the church of England,
its orthodox sons, royalists and what not to promote
his wicked, and run down their just, cause. (3) That
after his majesty's restauration and S. Bartholomew's
day, in 1662, he preach'd sedition several times in
his private conventicle, and when an indulgence for
dissenters was granted, in the latter end of 1671, he
spoke his mind more openly, what before it had
conceived. (4) That when his Popish, which some
called Oates's plot broke out, it was usual with him
to vent matters savouring of treason in his weekly
sermons or cants, which he and his factious brethren
ridiculously make their only religion; and lastly,
that after K. Will, came to the crown, and another
indulgence then granted, he plied his talent so much
tliat he left not one stone unmoved whereby he might
increase tlie separation : But behold whilst he was
in the height of these his diabolical inachinations he
was suddenly, and as I may say justly, cut off from
the face of the living and >vas no more seen. His
works that are published are mostly these :^'\ " Here
" follow most of the works which he hath pub-
« lish'd,

" Remains These consist of two sermons, and

were published with an epistle before them to
the reader after the author s death, by a fanatic
preacher in Totness called Job. Galpine sometime
a student in Exeter coll. among presbytcrians and
independents, during the reign of Oliver, after-
wards in New inn, where he took the degree of
bach, of arts, 1658, but left that house and the
university without complcating that degree by
determination, which was to be d(me in Ix-nttime
that year. In the 127th ])age of the said Remains,
the author Flavel steals a piece of wit from the
learned Job. Hales of Eaton. The sense of which
is set forth by an emblem in the frontispiece in
the second edit, of the said Mr. Hales his Golden
Remains; over the sculpture are these words.
Like Spirits in the Minerals, with all their Labour
nothing is done.* Tlie said Job. Flavel died at
Exeter in the month of June in sixteen himdred
ninety and one, aged 61, and was buried in the
church at Dartmouth on the 29th day of tlic same
month, being accompanied to his grave by very
many dissenters. In the epistle before his Remains
aforesaid I find these words. As for the manner
' of his (Flavefs) death, it was very sudilen and
' surpiizing, he being as well that day, in the even-
' ing of which he died, as he had been for divers
' years before. Towards the end of supper he com-
' plained of a deadness in his hand, so that he could
' not lift it to bis head ; at which his wife and
' friends about him were struck with some astonish-
' ment, using what means they could to recover it
' to its former strength, but instead thereof, to their
' terror and amazement, he was seiz'd in his tJiigh
' and all one side of his body, Sec' Uy which it
' appears, that he died suddenly of an ajxjplexy or
' a dead palsey, being then about to go to Taunton
' to preach at an assembly of nonconformist mi-

■ nisters, and to carry on according to his usual

• and violent course the matter of separation and

■ dissention.

" of Jesus coll. in the beginning of the year 1 664,
" aged 16, l)einff then put under the tuition of 'I'ho.
" Ellis bach, of uiv. and fellow of that house. After
" he had taken the degree of bach, of arts he was
" elected fellow, at which time he was much taken
" notice of for his early parts and extraordinai-y
" learning; andafterhehad proceeded in that fiicult y,
" he was by his principal and society appointed cu-
" rate of their church at Cheltenham ni Glocester-
" shire, (still retaining his fellowship) where being
" provoked by some male})ert Socinians armed with
" arguments by secret hands of the greatest ability
" of that party, he managed a controversy with them
" in writing so successfully, that he gained to hin)-
" self great reputation, and was admiretl even by his
" adversaries, whosentafter him to Jesuscoll. frequent
" letters full of great respect and commendations.
" After he had held his curacy about two yeai's, he
" retired to his private studies in his college, where
" growing eminent for virtue and learning, he was
" desired by his great friend and patron sir Leolin
" Jenkyns to attend him in his embassy to Neoniagin
" (whither he was sent plenipotentiary, an. 1675)
" in the quality of chaplain, with whom remain-
" ing about three years beyond the seas, he improved
" himself much in the conversation of eminent per-
" sons, in viewing the Netherlands, the lower parts
" of Gennany, and in the knowledge of several mo-
" dern languages. After his return into England,
" he lived for some time in the family of sir Leolin
" at Doctors Commons and sometimes in Jesus coll.
" untill the year 1680, at which time he was by the
" most reverend father in God William lord archb.
' ' of Canterbury made his domestic chaplain, in which
" office he continued till the said archb. removed
*' from Lambeth [lalace (for refusing the oaths to
" king Will. III. and qu. Mary) to the Palsgravc-
" head-court near Temple Bar, within the liberty of
" Westminster, 23 June 1691. By the said archb.
" he was in such a particular manner esteemed for
" his great learning and faithful service, that he
" bestowed on him the rectory of Chevening in Kent,
" afterwards the sine-cure rectory of Llanderillo in
" the diocess of S. Asaph, next the treasurership of
'* Chichester (in which ne was installed 7 Jan. 1681)
" and last of all the rectory of Newington near Dor-
" Chester in Oxfordshire on the death of Dr. Will.
" Brabourne, (instituted therein about the beginning
" of Apr. 168.5) and thereupon he gave up Cheven-
" ing, being then doctor of divinity. In Octob.
'' 1689 he was by the clergy of the dioc. of Oxon
" elected their representative in the convocation to
" be held at Westm. in the month following, in
" which convocation he was eminently active, as all
" who knew the transactions of it, may remember.
" On the 18th of July 1691 he was elected Margaret
" professor of the university of Oxon, upon the pro-
" motion of Dr. Joh. Hall to the see of Bristol, and
" in right of that place he was installed prebendary
" of Worcester within few days after. He was a

pei*son of incomparable learning, and imblemish'd
virtue. His vivacity and quickness of parts,
joined with a solid judgment, was admirable : to
which was added an extraordinary memory, and
a clear and ready wit. In preaching few have
exceeded him in eloquence and strengtl) of reason,
altho' he scarce ever employed above two hours
meditation in composing a sermon, nor ever com-
mitted any thing to writing, except that sermon
preached before the king, and some short notes of
a sermon preached to the university of Oxon not
many days before his death. But aljovc all, his
memory ought to be esteemed for his eminent
zeal and affection towards the established doctrine
and discipline of the church of England, and his
invincible courage in defending and supporting it
whensoever occasion offered : to which may be
added, that those who had the happiness to enjoy
his particular friendship, knew him to be the best
of friends. His works that are extant are these,
" A Vindication of the Primitive Church, and

ters Church History of' Bishops and their Coun-

" upon earth a better enjoyment than heaven's
" triumph ; who look ufx)n all government as anti-
" christian, and think it their duty to despise do-
" minion, that they may set up themselves and
" Christ together. A very intimate friend to Dr.
" Hen. Maurice was the learned Mr. Henry Whar-
" ton, who was descended from an ancient and gen-
" teel family, son of Mr. Edm. Wharton, was bom '
" at Worstead in Norfolk (where his father was
" sometime vicar) educated in (Jonvill and Caius
" coll. in Cambridge, took the degrees in arts, pre-
" sented or commended for a rarity to archb. San-
" croft, who conferring sacred orders on him when
" he was 22 years of age, the said archb. took him
" into his service at the age of 23, and made him
" one of his chaplains. Afterwards, for his en-
" couragement, he gave to him the rectory of Char-
" tham in Kent, and the vicaridgeof Minster in the
" isle of Thanct, where he kept curates, while he
" busied himself about the public concerns of leam-
" ing. During the time that he continued chaplain
" to that archbishop, there was an inseparable
" friendshi}! and intimacy contracted Ijetween him
" and the aforesaid Dr. Henry Maurice. They
" studied together, and communicjited to each other
" their thoudits, on those works which they pub-
" hshed to their great honour ; and in Mr. Wnar-
" ton's Defence of Pluralities some of Dr. Maurice's
" neat and florid dashes with his pen are discemable
" in it, especially to those of Jesus coll. in Oxon
" that knew the way of writing of that person ;
" who also stick not to say, that he had a hand in
" composing the first part of it. This Mr. Wharton
" was a man of admirable gifts, great modesty and
" affability, and gave such early indications of his
" parts in the university of Cambridge, and after-
" wards in London, that the learned looked on him
" as a person born for the advancement of learning.
" He was a zealous lover of the church of England,
" its doctrine and discipline, and a learned vindi-
" cator of it against popery, as it appears by several
" discourses set out by him in the reign of king
" James II. His Discourse of the Celibacy of the
" Clergy was written by him when he was very
" young ; wherein with nervous reasons and variety
" of reading is made manifest, that it was one of the
" most admirablest vindications of the marriage of
" the clergy, that ever was set out. This Mr.
" Wharton hath written,

" its Rise and Progress are historically con.sidered.

hath several times told me that he was extracted
from the ancient house of Barlow in Lancashire.
In 1624 he was sent from the free-school at Ap-
pleby in his own country, then taught by Will.
Pickring, to Queen's coll. being put under the
tuition of Mr. Tiio. Lough, he afterwards became
successively a poor servmg child, tabarder, then
M. of A. and fellow an. 1633. Two years after
he was nictaphysic reader of the university, whose
lectures being much approved, were auerwards
published for the beneht of scholars. When the
garrison of Oxon was surrendred for the use of
the pari. an. 1646, he sided with the men then in
power, and by the favour of col. Tho. Kelsey dcp.
governor of the said garrison (to whom he made
application) he kept his fellowship during the
parliamentarian visitation an. 1648. as in hke
manner did Joh. Houghton of Brasen-n. coll. Tim.
Baldwin of AUs. who with Barlow had presented
to the wife of the said Kelsey certain gifts. In
1652 he was elected head keeper of Bodley's li-
brary in the place of John Rouse deceased, and
about that time was made lecturer of Church-hill
near Burford in Oxfordshire. In 1657 he was
admitted to the reading of the sentences, and in
the latter end of the same year was elected provost
of his coll. upon the death of the learned Dr.
Langbaine. After the restoration of king Charles
II. he procured himself to be one of the commis-
sioners appointed first by the marquiss of Hertford
chanc. of the university (afterwards by his ma-
jesty) for the restoring those members unjustly
ejected an. 1648. In Aug. the same year (1660)
he was not only actually created D. of D. among
the royalists, but designed Margaret professor
upon the ejection of Hen. Wilkinson senior, to
which he was elected in the next month in 1662.
He was made archdeacon of Oxon in the place of
Dr. Bart. Holyday deceased, there having before
been (as afterwards was) a controversy about the
dignity between him and Dr. Tho. Lamplugh,
which was decided for Barlow by the itinerant
justices in their assizes at Oxon on the first day
of March 1663. So that he being installed in
that dignity on the 13th of June 1664, thought
thereupon that he was put into the road to gain
higher preferment, and after long expectation he
procured the bishoprick of Lincoln, tho' (as was
then said) not by the consent of archbishop Shel-
don, but thro' the intreaties of certain temporal
lords attending his majesty, and by the endea-
vours of both the secretaries of state, Hen. Co-
ventry, esq; and sir Jos. Williamson, both" some-
times of his coll. and the first his pupil before he
was elected fellow of All-souls, so that on the 22d
of Apr. an. 1675, being the very day that Dr.

" Fuller bishop of Line, died (after several dis-
" courses tliat passed between his majesty and cer-
" tain persons of honour then present, concerning
" the person to be preferred) Dr. Barlow was in-
" troduced into the presence of his majesty, and had
" the grant of that see, and forthwith kissed his
" majesty's hand for the same. On the 27th of
" June following he was consecrated to the said see,
" not in Lambeth chap|)el, but in that belonging to
" Ely house in Holbourn near London ; but all the
" while he was a bishop, he never was at Lincoln,
" or visited any part or his diocese in his own per-
" son ; the reason of the former was (as he saith)
" because he had no house there, and that Bugden
" is in the center of his diocese, yet that Lincoln
" might not think him unkind, or that he neglected
" them, he sent them 100/. of which 501. was to go
[8T7] " to the church, and the other 50/. to the city, since
" which time he gave the city 20/. towards their ex-
" pence in renewing their charter. When the plot
" called by some Oates's plot, and by others the
" popish plot, broke out in Sept. 1678, he the said
" uisnop Barlow, who had before been a seeming
" friena to the papists, became then a bitter enemy
" to tliem, and to tlie duke of York. But when
" the duke was proclaini'd king after the decease of
" king Charles II. he took all opportunities to ex-
" press his affection towards him, among others
" writ, as was said, reasons for reading his majesty's
" declaration for liberty of conscience. After that
" king withdrew himself into France to avoid im-
" raincnt danger in Dec. 1688, he was one of those
" bishops that very readily voted that he abdicated
" his kingdoms, took the oaths to king William and
" queen Mary, and no bishop was more ready than
" he to put in and supply the places of those of the
" clergy of the diocese that refused the oaths, just
** after the time was terminated for them to take
" the same, which was the 2d of I'eb. 1689' He
" was esteemed by those that knew him well, to
" have been a thorough paced Calvinist, tho' some of
" his writings shew him to have been a great scholar,
" profoundly learned both in divinity and the civil
" and canon law. Arthur earl of Anglesey in his
" Memoirs, p. 20. saith, ' I never think of this
" bishop and of his incomparable knowledge, both
" in theology and church history, and in the eccle-
" siastical law, without applying to him in my
" thoughts, the character that Cicero gave Crassus,

by which he excused his adhering to the church of Rome:
and he maintained, that with these he could continue in the
communion of that church without sin : and he said that he
was sure he did some good slaying still on that side, but that
he could do none at all if he should come over. He thought,
no man ought to forsake that religion in which he was born
and bred, unless he was clearly convinced, that he must cer-
tainly be damned if he continued in it. He was an honest
and able man, much practised in intrigues, and knew well

Next for my chaplain, I can easily distinguish his pen from
that of his amanuensis, and I must needs say, I find him ex-
ceedingly either courteous or timorous. Wherever he finds
impiety or tyratmy, or blasphemy, charged on o' adversaries,
he mollifies them into fainter expressions, tho' y« crimes are
so legible in y' foreheads of those men that all y' water in y"

yo' S'"" reason of o' separation, p. ()0''' and so on, is taken
wholly from their idolatries. In all which there is not, that
I can find, one stroke of his pen, or one drop of his ink. So
that as I conjecture, y" true reason, why he halh demurred

" RICHARD PARR, a younger son of Richard
" Parr a Devonian born, who being sent into Ire-
" land by king James I. to be a minister there after
" Tyrone's rebellion, fixed himself in the town of
" Fermoy in the county of Cork, where Rich. Parr,
" whom we are further to mention, was born, an.
" 1617, his moUier being then 55 years of age.
" Afterwards the father removed to Castle-Lyons
" in the same county, and caused this his son to be
" educated in grammar learning by an Irish priest,
" who and others of the same profession, were the
" only schoolmasters at that time for the Latin
" tongue in Ireland. In 1635 our author Rich.
" Parr was sent into England, and in Mich, term
" the same year he was entred a poor scholar or
" servitor of Exeter coll. at which time being re-
" commended to the care of Dr. Prideaux the rector,
" for his forwardness and great ingenuity, was, by
" his endeavours, chosen, while bacli. of arts, chap-
" Iain-fellow of that college, an. 1641. In 1643
" the Icarnetl Dr. Usher primate of Ireland was a
" lodger in the same house, being driven to take
" sanctuary at Oxon by the civil wars ; who taking
" notice of Mr. Parr then a junior master and a
" frequent preacher in Oxon, he matle him his
" chaplain, and tcwk him with him in the latter end
" of that year to Cardiff and S. Donate in Glamor-
" ganshire. At which places continuing in tlie ser-

vice of that learned and pious prelate till the said
wars were terminated, he attended him then to
I^ondon, and s<x)n after became vicar of Ryegate
in Surrey by the presentation of one Rog. James
gent, whose sister he married, Iwing a widow of a
plentiful fortune. In 1647 I find Tiim to be one
of the ministers of Surrey that tubscribed to the
lawfulness of the covenant, in a pamphlet that
then was printed, containing the contents of the
said covenant and the names of the ministers of
Surrey that set their hands to it ; yet the friends
and intimate acquaintance of the said Mr. Parr
have averrxl that he never took the said covenant,
tho' nuich pressed so to do by the committee sitting
in Goldsnnth's hall in London. In 1649 he re-
signed his fellowship of Exeter coll. and continued
chaplain to the said Dr. Usher till that learned
person died. Afterwards he became vicar of Ca-
merwell in the said county of Sun-ey, rector of S.
Mary Magd. in Southwaik for a time, and after
his majesty's restoration he was actually created
doctor of clivinity. About which time the deanery
of Armagh was offered to him, and soon after a
bishonrick in Ireland, but refusing both, he con-
tentea himself only with a canonry of Armagh.
He was so constant and ready a preacher at Ca-
merwell, that his preaching being generally ap-
proved, he broke two conventicles thereby m his
neighbourh(xxl, that is to say that by his out-
vying the presbyterians, and mdependents in his
extemporanian preaching, their auditors would
leave them and nock to Mr. Parr. In this course
of constant preaching at Camerwell he continued
near 38 years, in all which time he was esteemed,
a person of great piety and of so regular and un-
blemish'd conversation, that even the noncon-
formist party could not pick up any thing to ob-
ject against him on that account, they having
generjilly esteemed him a moderate person, chiefly,
as I conceive, because he was a Calvinist. This
person hath publislicd

Higgons, sometime rector of Westburgh in Shrop-

wife daugh. of Rich. Barker of Hamond in the
said county, sister and coheir to Andr. Barker)
was born in Shropshire, became a commoner of S.
Albans hall in the beginning of the year 1638,
aged 14 years, at which time he was put under
the tuition of Mr. Edw. Corbet fel. of Mert. coll.
and lodged in the chamber under him in that
house. Afterwards he left the university without
a degree, retired to his native country,' and whe-
ther he bore arms either for the king or parlia-
ment I cannot tell. Sure I am that after the
death of Robert the last earl of Essex, and cap-
tain general of the parliament forces, he married
his widow named Eliz. the daugh. of sir Will.
Pawlet of Edington in Wilts, kt. one of the na-
tural sons of William the third marquess of Win-
chester of that family, and that in the latter end
of the year 1658 (he living then at Grewel in
Hampshire) was elected a burgess for Malmsbury
in Wilts, to serve in that pari, called by Richard
the protector, that met at Westni. on the 27th of
Jan. the same year. After his majesty's restora-
tion he was elected burgess for New Windsor in
Bucks, to serve in that pari, that began at Westm.
on the 8th of May 1661. in which being observed
to be one of the court party, had, as a certain '

' fin his funeral oration on the countess of Essex, iie says,
that within a year or two, after the taking of Oxford, being
then newly relurn'd out of Italy, he married the countess.

[882] " earl of Batli, besides several children " that he had

" SAMUEL LEE, the only son of Samuel Lee
** of Fislistreet-hill in London a halierdasher of
" small wares, was born there in 1625, but de-
" scendcd, as I conceive, from the ancient and gen-
*' teel family of Lee in Cheshire, was entrcd a coni-
" moner of Magd. hall (he having received some
" academical education elsewhere °) about the latter
" end of 1 647, in expectation of a fellowship from
" the parliamentarian visitors, then about to sit in
" Oxon, under pretence of reforming the university.
" On the 14th of Apr. 1648 he was actually created
" master of arts in the Pembrochian creation then
" made ; about which time he was recommended
" by the committee (sitting in Westminster for the
*' reformation of the said university) to the said
" visitors for a fellowship of Alls. coll. but the fel-
lowships of that coll. having been supplied by
them, they settled him in a fellowship of Wadham
coll. on the 3d of Octob. the same year. In the
latter end of the year 1650 he was elected by his
society one of the proctors of the university for
" the ensuing year, but he being not of sufficient
" standing in the degree of master for that office,
" the said visitors dispensed with it by their order,
" and forthwith when the day came, whereon he
" was to be installed, he, according to their order,
" was admitted on the 9th of April 1651. About
" that time he became a frequent preacher in and
" near Oxon, without any orders from a bishop, was
" preferred by Oliver to the ministry of S. Botolph's
" church near Bishopsgate in London, but ejected
" afterwards thence by the rump parliament, who

" placed in his room one Sympson an ana-

" baptist. Afterwards our author Lee was made
" lecturer of Groat S. Helens church in London,
" being then rather an independent than presbyte-
" rian, yet professed neither. After the restoration
" of king Charles II. he was not silenc'd for non-
" conformity, because he had no preferment to lose,
" but lived on an estate of inheritance in Bisseter
" Kings-end in the parish of a market town called
" Bisseter in Oxfordshire, wliere he sometimes kept
" conventicles. In 1678, or thereabouts, he re-
" moved to Newington Green near London, where
" he carried on his profession for some years, and in
" June 1686 he went with his family to New Eng-
" land, where dwelhng for the most peut in New
" Bristol carried on his profession without trouble
" or controul. But at length upon the receipt of a

He was a considerable general scholar, understood
the learned languages well, spoke Latin fluently and
elegantly, was well vers'd in all the liberal arts and
sciences, was a great master in physick and alchymy,
and no stranger to any part of polite and useful
learning. He had an open hand of charity to re-
lieve the necessities of the poor, and was highly
bountiful to the Hungarian ministers when they

were in England some years before he left it. For
the times proving dangerous, and he being but of a
timorous temper, left a go<xl estate behind him
about the year 1686, for the sake of peace, and a
quiet mind, and sailed to New England, where he
was receiv'd w ith resiject, and chosen ])astor of a.
congregation at Bristol. lie did not continue there
much above three years : for liearing of the glorious
revolution in 1688, he was willing to taste the fruits
of it in his native coimtry, and soon determined to
return back thither, nay lie grew so inijiatient of
any longer stay in America, that he with great
hazard travell'd to Boston to take ship with his wife
and family, and in the midst of winter set sail for
old England. There happen'd an occurrence upon
this occasion that deserves a remark. A few nights
before his going on board the ship he was to sail in,
he told his wife he had view'd a star, which accord-
ing to the rules of astrology presag'd captivity ;
wishing a few days might pass before the sailing of
the ship, for which he prevail'd with the captain,
though without acquainting him with the reasons of
his renuest. He had studied the astrological art,
and when he became acquainted with it durst not
approve it, and burnt near an hundred books, the
design of which was to give an insight into it, and
he would freely inveigh against it, therein treading
in the steps of his wise and pious tutor the bishop,
who in some of his works reflects pretty severely on
such speculations. Mr. Lee at length, notwith-
standing the presage, pursued his voyage, and in his
passage met with such opjxisition from the winds,
that the captain observ'd and declared he had never
known the like before for thirty years together. The
ship was driven upon the coast of Ireland, where
being met and attack'd by a French privateer, they
fought for some hours. Their ship was set on fire
several times, and in no small danger of sinking,
and at length intirely disabled, and so they were
forced to surrender themselves prisoners. They were
continued cruising for some weeks after, expos'd to
all extremities of wind and weather, and about
Christmas the ship was carried as a prize into St.
Maloe's in France, and he and his wife and daugh-
ter and two servants were kept there for some time :
but the rest of them, unknown to him, were shipp'd
off" for England, while he by the king's order was
kept behind. Hereupon, through grief to ha^e his
wife and child taken from him, and to be left alone
in a country where he ■Was a perfect stranger, he
presently fell into a fever, of which he died in a
f'ew days, in the possession of those very enemies
wliom he all his days had the most dreaded, but in
tile arms of the compassionate Jesus, in the sixty-
fourth year of his age.*]

" to posterity the memoirs of great personages in

" moirs of the Lives, &c. without quotation and
" authority ; whereby he hath obtained among

cannot remember, but to supply this defect, I will tell you 2
story's relating to the maUer. He was twice in troubles, for
something he had writicn, one time a certain countess being
reflected on in the title page of his book, her friends called
him in question for it and he came off by proving that tho'
he wrote the book, the bookseller put to it a title page of his
own invention, which be thought would make the book sell
the better. And another time some in great place were
highly offended at some passages in a book he had written
wnicn reflected on the prsevalence of popery at court, for
which when he was called to account, he had no way left
but to make out ihe matter of fact and (besides other proofs)
he quoted for it a book of .Mr. Prynn's, to whom he referred
himself to make it appear. The parliament was then sitting

' [Wood must be wrong here : The countess of Bridgwater
was Elizabeth, second daughter to William marquis of New-
castle. In Gaddesden church, Hertfordshire, is the following
inscription to her memory.

D. D.

To the sacred memory of the late transcendently virtuous
Lady, now glorious saint, the right Honourable Elizabeth,
Countess of Bridgwater. She was second daughter to the
right Honourable William, Marquis of Newcastle, and wife
to the right Honourable John, Earl of Bridgwater, and whose
family she hath enriched with a hopeful issue, six sons, viz
John Viscount Brackley, her eldest ; Sir William Egerton,
second son, both Knights of the honourable order of the Bath,
Mr. Thomas Egerton a third ; Mr. Charles Egerton, her
fourth, Mr. Henry Egerton her fifth, Mr. Steward Egerton
her sixth son ; and three daughters, viz. .Mrs. Frances Eger-
ton, her eldest, the Lady Elizabeth her second : and the
Lady Catherine Egerton her third daughter, of all which
children three : viz. Mr. Henry Egerton her fifth son, Mrs.
Frances Egerton her eldest, and the Lady Catherine Egerton
her third daughter lye here interred, dyinc; in their infancy ;
the rest are still the living pictures of their deceased mother
and the only remaining comforts of their disconsolate father.
.She was a Lady in whom all the accomplishments both of
body and mind, did concur to make her the glory of the pre-
sent, and example of future ages: her beauty was so un-
parallel'd, that it is as much beyond the art of the most ele-
gant pen, as it surpasselh the skill of several the most exquisite
pensils (that attempted it) to describe and not to disparage
it : she had a winning and an attractive behaviour, a charm-
ing discourse, a most obliging conversation : she was so
courteous and affable to all persons, that she gained their
love, yet not so familiar to expose herself to contempt : she
was of a noble and generous soul, yet of so meek and humble
a disposition, that never any woman of her quality was greater
in the world's opinion and less in her own ; ihe rich at her
table daily tasted her hospitality; the poor at her gate her
charity : ner devotion most exemplary, if not inimitable,
witness (besides .several other occasional meditations and
prayers full of the holy transports and raptures of a sanctified
soul) her divine meditations upon every particular chapter in

ton the astrologer, he was made one of the five

Sentlemen of the ordnance in the garrison there,
ad the command of the East-Lyne and Dover-
Piere in that garrison assigned to him, and in the
middle of Dec. 1645 he was made one of the
commissioners of the excise of the city of Wor-
cester. About the 12th of March following he
was made a captain in the regiment of foot of
Jacob lord Astley at ^Vorcester, and in June 1646
he was constituted comptroller of the ordnance in
that city. But the said city being surrendred for
the use of the parhament on the 23d of July fol-
lowing he retired to his former place in Cheshire,
absconded there till Octob. following, and then
going privately to London, was there, by Mr.

and soon after with Joh. Booker, both noted astro-
logers, by whose company he improved himself
much in astronomy and astrology, was by them
introduced to the astrologer's yearly feast, and
esteemed among them as one of the fraternity. In
1647 he retired to Englefield in Berks, where for
a time he lived very studiously, and in 1648 he
entred upon the study of plants, and in few months
became an eminent botanist. About that time
having some estate setled upon him by a lady of
that county, whom he afterwards married, was
sequestred of it because of his loyalty, but soon
after the sequestration was taken off, and became
a great friend to his old acquaintance capt. George
Wharton, who being then a prisoner in the Gate-
house at Westm. for writing satyrical matters"
against the usurpers, for which Serjeant John
Bradshaw intended to hang him, he was by the
endeavours of Will. Lilly (put upon it by Ash-
mole) made to Bulstr. Whitlock, released : For
which great courtesy done by Lilly, Wharton
made a genteel return of thanks in his epistle
before his Hemeroscopion for the year 1651, and
in another that followed stiled Ashmole his ' Oaken
Friend,' not only because he was instrumental for
his release, but also that he had supplyed him
with monies, and lent him and his wife gratis the
use of his house at Bradfield in Berks. Afterward
our author Ashmole lived for a time in the Black-
Fryars in London, and in 1651 he began to learn

in that faculty, which ever after caused Ashmole
to call him father. In Feb. 1651 he learned He-
brew of Rabbi Solomon Frank, and on the 10th
of March 1652 his father Backhouse opened him-
self very freely to him the secret. On the 13th
of May 1653 his said fatlier lying sick in Fleet-
street over-against S. Dunstan's ch. in London,
and not knowing whether he should live or dye,
did about 11 of the clock in the morning tell Ash-

mole in syllables : which he lx?queathed to him as
a legacy. Afterwards Backhouse recovering, told
him his mind more openly, and lived at Swallow-
field several years after. On the 25th of July
1653 he became acquainted with Great Selden,
who, finding him a man of parts, encouraged him
in his studies, and was very civil to him to the
last. In 1655 he entred upon the study of En-
glish antiquities ; on the lltn of Novemb. 1657 he
was admitted a member of the Middle Temple,
and in the beginning of the year following he
began to collect materials from the records or the
Tower of London for the composing of his ad-
mirable book of the Garter. In Sept. 1658 he
joumied to Oxon, and on the 10th of that month
he began to make a description of the coines given
to the public library there, by that most public
spirited man Dr. Laud archb. of Canterbury and
others ; which description being reduc'd into se-
veral books, I shall hereafter mention them among
his writings. On the 18th of June 1660, his maj.
king Charles II. being then restor'd, he had the
grant of Windsor herald made to him by his
majesty, who having a great kindness for him did
commit to his custody and care his ancient coyns
and medals to be catalogu'd, describ'd and ex-
plain'd, and at that time it was ordered by his
maj. that he should take his diet at the waiter's
table. On the 3d of Sept. 1660 he became comp-
troller of his majesty's excise, and on the 2d of
Nov. following he was called to the barr in the
Middle Temple, was admitted within few days
after, but never pleaded or practised his profes-
sion. On the 15th of January the same year he
was admitted fellow of the Royal Society, and on
the 9th of Feb. following a warrant was signed by
the king for his being secretary of Surynham.
In June 1664, the White office being opened, he
was made comptroller thereof, and in the begin-
ning of June 1668 the lords commissioners of the
treasury did appoint him to execute the office of
accomptant-general in the excise, and country
accomptant. On the 1 9th of Aug. 1 669 (he having
then newly left Oxon where he had been to see the
solemnity of the opening of the Theatre) his
grace passed the ven. convocation of doctors and
masters of the university, to be doctor of physic,
and on the 2d of Nov. following being diplomated,
his diploma was conveyed to him at London by
Dr. Tho. Yate principal of Brasen-n. coll. In
1672 his most excellent book entit. Tfte Institution,
Laws and Ceremonies of' the most noble Order of
the Garter, being finished, he presented a copy
thereof richly bound to his majesty king Charles
II. on the 8th of May the same year, who very
graciously receiving it, he gave him as a reward
for his labours 400^. out of the custom of paper.
Afterwards presenting it to the several compamons
of the said most noble order, as well to those be-
yond as within the seas, it found a fair reception [888]

" from, and the author was very nobly rewarded by,
" some of them, as I shall tell you hereafter, and
" afterwards was visited and complimented in liis
" lod£;ings in the Middle Temj)le and in his house
" at South Lambeth in Surrey by the ambassadors
" and envoys of such kings and princes beyond the
" seas, to whom he had sent his said book, and after-
" wards by many noble persons for his extraordinary
" worth and parts, and for the most admirable and
" invaluable treasure of rarities lying by him. In
" July 1675 he resigned his place of Windsor he-
" raid, and in the latter end of the next year he
" might have been Garter principal king at arms in
" the place of sir Edw. Walker deceased, had he
" stirr'd in it, for his maj. was very willing that lie
" should have that office conferred on him. About
" the latter end of Octob. 1677 he made a motion
" to several heads of this university, that he would
" bestow on it all his rarities that he had obtained
" of a famous gardener called Joh. Tradescant a
" Dutchman and his wife, all his coynes and med-
" dais and all his MSS, conditionally that they
" would build a fabric to receive them : which
" motion being well accepted and applauded, they
" promised him so to do. On the 26tn of Jan. 1678
" a fire breaking out in the chamber next to his
" lodgings in the Middle Temple, his said lodgings
" were utterly consumed, and thereby he suffered an
" irreparable and invaluable loss, which indeed was
" ours, as the sequel will tell you. By letters from
" sir Will. Dugdale garter kmg at arms, dated 13
" May, 1679, I was informed that ' his losses were
" exceeding great, all his library of printed books,
" which was very large, was consumed, and many
" other things of value ; but all his chief manuscripts
" escaped, he having them at S. Lambeth : So
" likewise his gold coyns and gold medals, but those
" of sUver were all melted and have cost him as
" much as the worth of them in weight, in digging
" among the ruins, sifting the rubbish and hiring
" the silver-smiths to wash the dust. The copper
" coins are found, but miserably defaced, &c.' By
" Mr. Ashmole's letter also, which I received by the
" hands of Dr. Rob. Plot in the latter end of Dec.
'^ 1683, I was informed that ' his chambers in the
" Middle Temple were burnt in the great fire there
" in Jan. 1678, wherein was a library of books, the
" collection of 33 years, mostly from abroad ; a
" collection of near 9000 coins and medals ancient
" and modem, being the gathering of 32 years.
'•' Also a large collection of ancient evidences and
" seals of the English nobility and gentry. All
" the great seals of England from the conquest
" hitherto, with many of the religious houses both
" in England and Scotland ; those of England hang-
" ing at their several instruments. That he lost
" also there his observations upon history, coins,
" medals, heraldry and some other subjects, being
" the effects of his studies for about 30 years, which
" lay there in his said chambers for improvement

" as he had leisure : And also divers valuable pieces
" of antiquity, and sundry curiosities Ixith of art
" and nature,' &c. In the said library, which I have
" several times viewed and partly jxjrused, I have
" seen a large thick paper book, which you may
" call a double folio (near a yard long) containing
" on every side of the leaf two, three or more pic-
" tures or faces of eminent persons of England and,
" elsewhere, printed from copper cuts pasted on
" them, which Mr. Ashmole had with great cu-
" riosity collected : and I remember he has told
" me that his mind was so eager to obtain all faces,
" that when he could not get a face by it self he
" would buy a book wherein a face was set before
" it, meerly for the face's sake : which being done
" he would tear out the face or picture, paste it in
" the said book, and write under it from whence it
" was taken. This book was also consumed by the
" said fire. I have also seen another folio as large
" as the former, containing the pictures of proces-
" sions at coronations, marriages, interviews, fune-
" rals, &c. printed from copper cuts and pasted
" or fastned therein ; and another large folio con-
" taining, as I remember, the prospects of cities,
" towns, houses, &c. Both which were also lost,
" as also many subterranean antiquities, as rare [889J
" stones, such as Dr. Plot describes in his Natural
" History of Oxfordsh. and Staffbrdshire, besides
" a most admirahlc piece of antiquity made in the
" British times, viz. a chizel or ax framed from a
" flint stone, before the framing or working of iron
" was invented : the picture of which you may see
" in TJie Antiquities of Warwickshire illustrated,
" by Will. Dugdale, in his discourse of the town
" called Oldbury in that county. But now let's
" proceed : on the fifteenth day of May (Thursday)
" 1679, the first stone of that stately fabric, afler-
" wards called Ashmole's MusfBum, was laid on the
" west side of the theatre, and being finished by the
" beginning of March 1682, were put therein, on
" the 20th of the same month, about 12 cart loads
'^' of rarities sent to Oxon by Mr. Ashmole : Which
" being fi.^ed in their proper places by Rob. Plot
" LL. D. who before had been intrusted with the
" custody of the said musiEum, were first of all
" publicly viewed on the 21st of May following by
" his royal highness James duke of York, his royal
" consort Josepha Maria, princess Anne, and their
" attendants, and on the 24th of the same month by
" the doctors and masters of the university. In a
" convocation held on the 4th of June following
" (1683) were letters openly read whereby Mr.
" Ashmole gave for ever to the univ. of Oxon. all
" the said rarities, notwithstanding he had been
" courted by others to bestow them elsewhere, and
" that others had ofi't-r'd great sums for them :
" Whereupon a Lat. letter of thanks pcn'd by him, "*
" who was then dep. orator, being publicly read,
" was forthwith sent to Mr. Ashmole at S. I^ambeth,
" who, in the beginning of March following, did

" was electeti one of the governors thereof. In the

" breast, and in his bosom the great God did abun-

" and Knowledge. Much of his time, when he was
" in the prime of his years, was spent in chymistry ;
" in which faculty being accounted famous, did
" worthily deserve the title of Mercuriophilus An-
" fflicus. And being eminent for botany several
" books of that subject were dedicated to him, as
" pthers of astrology, &ec. were. Mr. Ashm. hath

" to Bliss, in three Books. Lond. 1658. qu. [Bodl.
" 4to. R. 13. Th.] pen'd by an unknown author
" living in the reign of qu. Elizabeth. He had
" received the copy from his father W^ill. Backhouse
" who was the owner of it, purposely to do right to
" the author thereof, because they both had met
" with a pretended copy of the said Way to Bliss,
" ready fitted for the press : which, upon perusal,
" Mr. Ashmole found mutilated with many iniper-

" fections, much injured by several incongruous ad-
" ditions made up of some scatter'd snreds and
" fragments collecte<l from the whole work : and
" besides intended that the world should take it for
" the child of one Eugcnius Theodidactus (that is,
" Joh. Heydon who had then lately married the
" widow of Nich. Cuhx'pcr the a.strologer) being
" (by rebaptization) calletl The Wiseman's Crown,
" or Rosy-crucian Physick: under which title, no-
'• tice was given of its coming abroad by another
" book, I mean Jo. Gadbury's almanack for the year
" 1658. All which considered, together with the
" zeal that Mr. Ashmole had for the noble science
" of chymistry, and regret to see so able a champion
" thereof, viz. the unknown author of the said Way
" to Bli.is, thus totally, thus nefariously rob'd and
" dispoiled of his honour, he therefore did publisli
" the perfect copy. Which matter and reason being
" divulg'd to the world by Mr. Ashmole in his
" epistle to the reader set before the said Wa/y to
" Bliss ; Joh. Heydon thereupon did put out a
" book (being then about 30 years of age) entit.

pected, and indeed as some say, promised, from the
accurate pen of a prelate who makes no inconsiderable
figure in the church of England, and owes bus pre-
sent grandeur and future hopes, to the generosity of
Mr. Ashmole, who assisted and encouraged him by
a liberal education at school, and in the university,
by which he was fitted for the mitre, he now de-
servedly wears.' This was Dr. George Smalridge,
bishop of Bristol, who thus addresses his patron :

Reverendissimo et doctissimo Eliae Ashmoul armi-
gero et Maecenati suo plurimum colendo.

PupiUis Deus ipse pater : Tu proximus illi,

Quo, patre defuncto, Uberiore fruor.

Non mihi concessum est, te grates solvere dignas ;

A Patre coelesti prasmia digna feras.

" then do I take him to be the same with Edw. Cook
" a colonel sometimes in the long parliament army,
" who lived mostly at Highnam or Iligham near the
" city of Glocester, and the same col. Cook, who
" when he saw to what ends the said army aimed at,
" viz. to take away the life of king Charles I. to
" extirpate his family and set up themselves, he
" became a convert of integrity, highly valued that
" blessed prince, and did all that lay in his power
'' to save his life. He did usually attend the said
" king at Newport in the isle of Wight during the
" treaty there between him and his parliament,

" ment and horror of all rovalists, hun-ied thence to
" Hurst Castle in the latter end of Nov. 1648, at
" which time his maj. laid his commands on the said

for N. C and are lo be s Id by Sam. Holford, at the Crown
in the P.ill Mall. |688. As the copies now in circulation
are usnalK lium 1 with"iieoflhe-e titles, there must have been
many sold before the auilior altered the same to A new Ca-
talogue, &c. which might he suspected as a bookseller's device
to nive ao impetus to liie remainder of the impression. The
author sought lo eniorce a diflerenl belief by the following
spirited ■ Advertisemenl : The itch of writing, which nnhap-
pily had infected me, is now unexpectedly turn'd to a tetter;
which is likely lo destroy my repniatmn, if not taken in time :
but I hope a little ink (the common remedy) will both pre-
vent its spreading, and abs(duiely cure it. This brat, of which
1 am now asham'd to own myself the author, is published to
the world under the heathenish nameof A/omuj Triumphans.
I wish I knew my obliging gossips who iiam'd it, that 1
might thank them, as theydeserv'd, for their signal kindness.
I have endeavour'd lo be inform'd, who these friends were,
from my bookseller, but he pleads ignoramus; and ask him
the reasons of this liile, he answers me like sir John Falstafl',
Though reason were as plenty as blackberries, he would give
no man a reason on compulsion. Thus not being able to
trace it furtiier, and which is worse, five hundred copies
being got into huckster's hands, past my recovery, 1 am forc'd
to sit down with patience, and must depend upon this
apology, that my ffriends may not think me lonatick (as they
might with reason were this title my own) and my enemies
ha»e occasion to say, this just revenge was inflicted on me by
Apollo, for abusing his sons, the poets. But whoever the
author was, I dare swear, he thought, he had infinitely
obliged me, in dubbing me a squire : a title, no more my due
than that of doctor is to a mountebank ; and which I receive
with the same kindness as a crooked man would that of my
lord. 'Tis happy for the printer that I am a patient man, and
no poet ; for otherwise he might expect as severe dealings
from me (for not printing the genuine title page, and for those
gross errours which Tiave all along escaped the press) as Ly-

" This Catalogue, wherein great reading is expreas-
" ed in the margin of every page, is the boss or

cambas from Archilochus; or one of his own trade from tht
famous Oldham. But to shew my self in charily with him,
1 forgive him, as freely, as I would be forgiven by my
readers : upon condition that he (in part of satisfaction) print
the following errata for the preface, which makes it, as it is
unintelligible, to use a mollifying term for nonsense. G.
Langbaine.'

This labour of Langbaine had been preceded by An exact
and perfect Catalogue of all the Playes, with the Author'i
Aames, and what are Comedies, Tragedies, Histories, Pat-
lorulls. Masks, Interludes, more exactly printed titan ever
before, appended to the first edition of the comedy called the
Old Law, by Massinger, Middleton and Rowley ; and an
alphabetical catalouue in same year was published with
Goffe's tragi-comedy of the Careless Shepherdess. Another
list compiled by Francis Kirkman, the bookseller, wa*
printed about l6Gl, who continued and reprinted it with the
tragi-comedy of Nicomede in 167 1 . The number of dramatic
pieces therein enumerated was SO6 ; and Kirkman, in hit
advertisement, says — ' I really believe there are no more, for
1 have been these twenty years a collector of them, and have
conversed with and entiuired of those that have been collect-
ins: these fifty years.' Langbaine, in the preface to Momus
Triumphans, remarks, that ' about nine years after, the pub-
lisher of this catalogue reprinted Kirkman's, with emenda-
tions, but in the same form.' This article of Langbaine's I
have never seen. In addition to other improvements of clas-
sification, &c. Langbaine gave, in notes lo each title, a
reference, in most instances, to where the plot was borrowed
from, which he enlarged copiously in compiling the Account
of the English Dramatic Poets, log I.

In 1688 LanEbaine had been master of above nine hun-
dred and fourscore English plays and masques, besides droUk
and interludes ; and having read most of them, was become
a competent critic of the coincidence of scenes and characters,
and apparent plagiarisms. These he attempted to point out
largely in the Unglish Dramatic Poets, but he has not escaped
himself without censure. Mr. Scott characterises this research
as ' malignant assiduity.' (Dryden's IVorks, vol. ii. p. SQS.)
And Mr. D'lsraeli observes, he ' read poeiry only to detect
plagiarism.' {Calamities of Authors, \o\.'\\. \>. ^^4.) How-
ever, it is to be remembered, that Warton, whose judgment
must not be hastily impeached on any occasion, pronounced
this book ' a good ground-work for a new publicaiion on the
same subject and plan, and which has merit as being the
first attempt of the kind.' {Hist, of Eng. Poetry, vol. ii.
Emendations, sig. h 2.) Oldys made a copy of that work
the common-place repository for all his copious emendations
to the lives of the various authors, which were transcribed
into interleaved copies, by bishop Percy ; Geo. Sleevens, now
in possession of sir E. Brydges; Isaac Reed, in Mr. Heber's
library ; and Mr. M alone, with Mr. Boswell. Another copy
with Winstanley, Gildon, Jacob, &c. with similar notes, is
in my possession.

What occasioned the injudicious attack in the English
Dramatick Poets, upon Dryden, is scarcely known, ror a
knowledge of this literary secret wc are indebted to an ano-
nymous critic that flourished contemporary with our author,
who believed something like a justification of the great bard
necessary. ' When (says the critic) you first publish'd your
little inventory of plays, it seems some wag or other about the
town, was pleaded to cap your design with the title of Momus
Triumphans: and being conscious to yourself of disingenuity
and porlerly- language to Mr. Dtyden in your preface, you
pitcht upon him as the likeliest godfather to your book, and
accordingly, right or wrong, ran full tilt at him in your next
edition, in the dialect of a northern harg, just. Vou were,
sir, before-hand assured of the silence ofyour adversary (know-
ing he must descend so far below himself to cope with you)

rudeness, and so unlilie a gentleman, that you seem, fur want
of other ammunition, to liave discharged your excrements at
hini.' Whether this censure, conveyed in the vulgar idiom
of that period, might have been successfully replied to by
our author, is uncertain : it was published as a letter, or long
review of the Account of the Dramatick Poels, in No. 3 of a
new weekly paper called the Moderator, on Thursday, June
23, 1692, the same day, as appears abo\e, when Langbaine,
careless of censure or of praise, gave his ear alone to the sum-
mons for another and a better world.

In Pearson's Catalogue, 1788, there is notice of a work by
Langbaine, that escaped the research of Wood :

cuts, 1688.

Langbaine, with the portraits of Langbaine and Rich. Head.

that intended. Haslewood.]

there dedicated to S. Peter and S. Paul, leaving
then behind him the character of a learned man,
but confident and forward without measure : and
that by his excesses and too much agitation in
obtaining spiritualities he brought himself into an
ill disposition of body, which, contrary to his ex-

to his grave.

in his Apologia pro Ministris, &c. brands him
with that infamous name of apostate, barely for

dependcnt principles upon his return into the

larger explication (if it should seem convenient)

momentous jwints, and at such a time also, when
there was not the least probability or prospect of
the happy restoration; and so not made public
only for his own greater lucre and profit, which
some nonconformists Iiave falsely and uncharitably
objected against him as the true reason of his
change. What he obliged himself here to perform,
was soon after very faithiully made good much to
his own credit and reputation in the Retractions
that followed. He died very aged, and was buried
at Waddesdon about the beginning of Nov. 1681,

" JOHN MARCH, a late faithful son of the ch.
" of England, and a zealous assertor of its doctrine
" and discipline, was born in Newcastle upon Tyne,
" educated in grammatical learning there under Mr.
" George Ritschel, became a commoner of Qu. coll.
" under the tuition of Mr. Thom. Tully an. 1658,
[897J " aged 17 years or thereabouts, removed with him
" in the latter end of the same year to S. Edm.
" hall, he the said Mr. Tully being then principal
" thereof, took the degrees in arts, became a noted
" tutor, and for several years vice-principal of the
" said hall. In the month of June 1672 he was
" presented by the warden and fellows of Merton
'• coll. to the vicaridgc of Emildon in the county of
" Northumberland, void by the death of Will. Cox,
" M. A. and in the latter end of the year following,
" he vras admitted to the reading of the sentences.
" Afterwards he became lecturer of S. Nicholas
" church in Newcastle, chaplain to Dr. Crew bishop
" of Durham, and on the death of Mr. Joh. Nay-
" lour (sometime of S. Alb. hall) he was made vicar
" of the said church, an. 1679; about which time
" he was constituted proctor for the diocese of Dur-
*' ham in a convocation of the clergy. He was a
" very dihgent pastor of the flock committed to his
" charge (as a learned * author tells us) and that
" not only in the course of his public ministry, from
" which witliout some necessary occasion he very
" rarely absented himself, but also in his private
" converses : for besides that every Lord's day in
*' the evening he generally spent a considerable
" portion of time in instructing the youth of his
" parish, (from which pious and charitable exercise,

" Payne Fisher, one of the capUiins of the life-guard
" belonging to king Charles I. while he was in Oxon,
" by Mary his wife the eldest daughter of sir Tho.
" Neale, was born at Warnford in Dorsetshire, in
" the house of the said sir Tho. Neale, became a
" commoner of Hart-hall in act or midsunnner
" term an. 1634, aged 18, continued there three or
" more years, under the severe tuition of two tutors,
" and then going to Magd. coll. in Cambridge, took
" one degree in arts, at which time his great in-
" clinations to poetry were discerned by his conteni-
" ixjraries. But this person having a rambling head,
" he threw off his gown, went into Brabant, and
" traird a pike in the garrison of Bolduc : but his
, " continuance there being very short, he return''d

" and became an ensign in the army raised by king
" Charles I. against the Scots, an. 1639, in which
" expedition he became acquainted with Rich. Love-
" lace tho poet. Uixin the disbanding of that army
" he went into Ireland, and was made successively
" an ensign, lieutenant, and captain-lieutenant under
" sir Joh. Clotworthy, afterwards viscount Masa-
" rene. Thence he returned into England, and
" landing in Cumberland, he was, by letters recom-
" mendatory wliich he brought with him from Ire-
" land from the lord Chichester, made major in the
" regiment of foot belonging to sir Patrick Curwen,
" bart. one of the deputy lieutenants of the said
" county of Cumberland. Soon after, by command
" of prince Rupert, he conducted 300 men out of
" that regiment for the relief of the then besieged
" city of York in the beginning of Jul. 1644, and
" immediately after began that terrible battel on
" Marston-moore, wherein he was partly engaged.
" At that time the Scotch army spreading them-
" selves like locusts all over Westmorland and Cum-
" berland, he was forced to leave his command, and
" thereu|X)n being destitute of means and money,
" he retired in private to London, lived there by his
" wits, favoured by his pen the successful rebellion,
" and, as a true time-server, (incident to most poets)
" ingratiated liiniself so much with the great men
" then in power, that he did homage to, and be-
" came at length poe^ laureat (or as he himself used
" to say, scribbler) to Oliver the protector of Eng-
" land, a pretended lover of musicians and poets,
" but the niggardliness and incompetency of his re-
" ward, shewed that he was a personated act of

greatness, and that private Cromwell did govern
" prince Oliver. After his majesty's restoration he
turned alwut, endeavoured to express the great
^'' sufferings that he had endured for his loyalty, but
" his palpable flatteries of the great men in the in-
" terval l)eing notoriou.Kly known, he could obtain
" nothing but what his wits procured, lived always
" poor, as not knowing the true value of money,
" and void of a prudential foresight, and running
" himself much in debt endured several years im-
" prisonnlent in the Fleet, and became the object of
'• charity. He had a very good command Of his
" Latin pen, it l>eing as 'twere natural to him, and

was esteemed by many judicious persons an ex-
" cellent Latin }X)et, as many things of that faculty,
" which he wrote purixjsely to flatter great p<!rson8
" to obtain rewards, shew. His usual way when he
" had written and printed a book, was to write
" many dedication papers to be put before them as
" occasion served, or his necessities required relief.

" this the reader may be pleased to know, that as
" he loved to flatter great i)ers<jns, so he himself
" lov'd to be flattered by his equals, or such that
" had atlmiration for him ; yet take him out from
" that learning he had, he was guilty of many
" weaknesses, extravagancies, and infirmities. The
" things that he hath written are many, but he
" never cared to have several of them known, as

" city of Gloucester on the 22d of June 1642, Ix--
" came lame on his left .side when he was a quarter
" old, occasion'd by a palsy ; wliich lameness being
" incurable he was by liis parents bred up to learn-
" ing. He was educated m the scIkxiI of S. Mary
" de Cript in Gltx;estcr, where he spent four years,
" and afterwards was removed by his parents to the
" school Ix'longing to the cath. ch. under Mr. Will.
" Russel, where being made full ripe for the univer-
" sity at 1 6 years of age, yet he did not go thither
" because of the several revolutions of the govem-
" ment. In Lent term 1661 he became a servitor
" of Trin. coll. and soon after was made one of the
" lord Job. Craven's exhibitioners, and taking one
" degree in arts he was made usher of the school
" joyning to Magd. coll. great gate. In 1667 he
" was gained to the church of Rome, and in disUke
" of that of England he took the sacrament accord-
" ing to the Rom. cath. way, in the house of George
" Napier esq; joyning to the church of Halywell m
" the north suburb of Oxon. In 1668 he proceeded
" in arts, and ujxjn the election of Joh. Curl to be
" probat. fellow of Magd. coll. in 1670 he became
" chief master of the said school, and much fre-
" quented by the youth of these parts : which place
" he keeping till S. Tho. day 1673, did, with leave
" from the president of Magd. coll. then resign it.
" In the month of Aug. 1674, he left his country
" and relations and went to Doway, where being
" friendly received into the priory of the English
" Benedictines, lived there privately as a convictor
" one year or more. In 1675 he became a monk of
" the order of S. Benedict, and from that time to
" 1685 he did instruct EngUsh youtlis in the said
" priory in humanity, poetry, rhetoric and Greek.
" In the said year (168.5) he left Doway and went
" into France, and there spent two years or more in
" a little monastery called La Cell, twelve leagues
" distant from Paris and situated in the county of
" Le Brie in the diocese of Meaux. From thence,
" by the command of his superior, he was called
" into England, an. 1687, to oe by the king's au-
" thority re-established in his former place of school-
" master of Magd. coll. But he having no inclina-
" tion to be engaged in such an unsettled state at
" that time, he was by a royal mandate sent to
" settle in his native citv of Glocester in the master-
" ship of the blue-founaed-hosj)ital of sir Tho. Rich,
" with an augmentation of 100/. per an. salary from

" ner bishop of Oxon in Trin. coll. chap, on the
" 21st of Dec. an. 1G45, and two clays after he was
" instituted vicar of Comjjton Chaniberlayne in
" Wilts by the presentation thereunto of sir Joh.
" Penruddock, who gave him also the lecturer's
" place in the church there. Afterwards being
" setled, as much as the then times could permit,
" he continued there in good repute, till he was,
" among other religious and conscientious divines,
" ejected for refusing the presbyterian covenant.
" Being thus depriv'd by unrea-sonable men, he
" rented a little fanii at Tysbury, lived as a grazier
" in the times of usurpation, was knowing and con-
" senting to the generous, yet unfortunate, insur-
" rection of the cavaliers at Salisbury in the latter
[907] " end of 1634, at which time they were headed by
" the most loyal and valiant colonel Joh. Penrud-
" dock son and heir of the aforesaid sir Joh. Pen-
" ruddock ; for which he the said Mr. Martin
" sufFer'd for a time by a close imprisonment, and
" had without doubt gone to pot, could the rebels
" have found sufficient witnesses that he had been
" engaged in the said plot or insurrection. How-
" ever being made one of the trustees for the estate
" of the said colonel, he, by his prudence, preserved
" it from sequestration, was in a condition to cherish
" his distressed family and take his children under
" his roof. He was a person of great modesty, well
" skiird in the Latin, Greek and Hebrew languages,
" and versM in all such learning as was neces-
" sary to make him a compleat divine, and thcre-
" fore after the restoration of his majesty king
" Charles H. when ancient learning begun to be in
" repute again, he became much esteemed by the
" mmisters and loyal gentry of his neighbourhood,
" was restored to what he had lost, and by the
" favour of Tho. Freek esq; was made rector of
" Melconib Horsey in Dorsetshire in January an.
" 1660. When Dr. Earl was translated from Wor-
" cester to Salisbury, he made choice of our author
" Martin to preach his primary visitation sermon,
" and intended his farther promotion in the church,
" but being untimely taken away, his design failed.

" after, upon a vacancy, the dean and canons would
" have elected him canon resident, but his modesty
" would not permit him to give them any encourage-

" in the beginning of Oct. 1677 he was collated
" by the said bishop Ward (who had a singular
" respect for him and his learning) to the prebend-

" and lecture (little enough for such a modest

and learned person, and so great a sufferer for
his loyalty as Mr. Martin was) he kept for some

HARRINGTON.

:39!2

sometime rector of Ubley in Somersetshire, was
born there, iKvaiiie scholar of Peter house in Cam-
bridge by tlie covenanting party, about \6iS,
took one degree in arts there, went to Oxon in
1651, was made fellow the sjime year (if I niistake
not) of S. John's col. and lx;ing then four years
standing bachelor was incorjX)rated in the same
degri-e m the month of Aug. and in Dec. follow-
ing he took tlie degree of master of arts. In 1660
he was put out of his fellowship by the king's
commissioners, to make nxtm for a certain jx?rstm
who had been ejectetl from the said coll. in 1648,
and s<H>n after he was by the favour of Dr. Jo.
Fell made chaplain or petty-canon of Ch. Ch. and
at length, on the death of Rich. Washlx)urnc B. D.
an. 1672, chantor of the said church. About that
time he was vicar of S. 'I'honias's parish, and
afterwards curate of Haly well, Inrth in the suburbs
of Oxon ; in which places he was much frequented
for his edifying way of preaching. In 1681 he
became vicar of Chard in his native county, and
soon after preb. of Compton Episcopi in the church
of Wells by the favour of Dr. Pet. Mew bishop of
that place; and therefore he is to be numbred
among those who have corpses and jurisdictions
peculiar, as being ordinary of the place. He was
a person constant and lalxirious in the work of the
mmistry, much conversant with, and known in,
books, as well ancient as modern, a stout and
hearty asserter of the established constitutions of
the ch. of England, (whatever tliose opinions were
which he entertained before the restoration of
king Charles II) against both the open assaults,
and the more subtle and sly insinuations of all
sorts of adversaries. He was well read in the dis-
ciplinarian and Arminian controversies, a stiff
opposer of the severe and rigid doctrines of Jo.
CaJvin, so far as they relate to the five points, the
hot and intemperate discussing of which in some
neighbouring countries, have not long since so far
influenced state-affairs, as to give rise to civil com-
motions, and those too of very dangerous conse-
Quences, and unhappy differences at home about
these matters. And being managed by ill design-
ing and turbulent incendiaries, did contribute at
least in some measure towards our own late unna-
tural broils. But yet that which adds a lustre to,
and crowns all other accomplishments how great
soever, was the unblameableness of our author's
deportment and strictness and regularity of his
life. After king Will. III. came to the crown he
became one of those conscientious divines who
denied the oaths of allegiance and supremacy to
him and his queen ; ana in that opinion of non-
obedience to them he continued to his last day.
He hath published,

3 [Prince, Worlhies of Devon, page 224, says that the
first place Conant exercised his faculty of preaching in was
Lymington, that considerahle incorporate town in Hampshire.
On this and the rest of Prince's relation, Mr. Samuel Conant
has written the following note in his own copy of the
lyorlhies now in Exeter college library.

' This author was misinformed in some few things con-
cerning Dr. Conant. For whereas he writes that the first
settled place he exercised his talent in, was Lymington, that
considerable market towne (as I take it) in Hampshire, some
time before the year 1 643, and that then he being batchelor
of divinity, was constituted one of the assembly of divines

" his fellowship, he living then at Ilarfield (in Gloc.)
" with my lord Chandois, to whom he was chaplain.
" III June 1649 he was elected rector of Exeter
" coll. on the death of Dr. Hakewill, where keeping
" lip a severe discipline, it flounshed during his
" time more than aiiy coll. in Oxon. In 1 654 he
" proceeded in divinity, and in the latter end oi'
" the same year he became the king's professor of
" that faculty in the place of Dr. Hoyle deceased.
" In 1657, and two years after, he executed the
" office of viccchancellor, with due commendation,
" and after his majesty's restoration in 1660 lie
" was discharg'd of his professorship to make room
" for the right owner Dr. R. Sanderson. In 1662
" he was ejected from his rectory of Exeter coll.
" because he rel'used to conform to the ceremonies
" and discipline of the church of England ; but
" afterwards, upon better thoughts, conforming, he
" became vicar of AUsaints in the ancient borough
" of Northampton in the place of Dr. Sim. Ford,
" an. 1670 or thereabouts ; where he continued to
" the time of his death. On the 8th of June 1676
" he was installed archdeacon of Norwich (in the
" place of Mr. Job. Reynolds deceased) which dig-
" nity was conferr'd upon him by Dr. Edw. Rey-
" nolds bishop thereof, whose daugh. he formerly had
" married ; and on the 3d of Dec. 1681 he was
" install'd preb. of Worcester, in the place of Nath.
" Tomkins deceased. He the said Dr. Conant was
" a learned, pious and meek divine, an excellent
" preacher, as his weekly lectures preached in Alls.
" church in Oxon. for about 7 years before the
" restoration of king Charles II. did shew, a good

appointed by an ordinance of the lords and commons in par-
liament to meet at Westminster S:c. The truth is, that not
he, but his uncle Mr. John Conant batchelor of divinity and
rector of Lymington, not a market town in Hampshire, but
a countrey parish near Ucliester, a market towne in Somer-
set, was constituted by the ordinance aforesaid one of the
said assembly for that county, and that his nephew Mr. John
Conant at a time when most of the scholars left Oxford,
coming to his uncle's house, stayed and officiated there some-
time after his uncle's departure to London, whither also, on
his said uncle's resigning or leaving the rectory of Lymington
aforesaid, he betook himself, and after sometime was chap,
laine in a nobleman's family (the family of Brydges, then
barons of Chandos, and since dukes) near Uxbridge in the
county of Middlesex, pre;u'hing a lecture weekly in the said
towne, having a liberal sjlary allowed him by the pious and
religious lady of that family, till about the time that he was
chosen rector of Exeter coUedge in Oxford, as the author
writes.

• And whereas the author writes that the Dr. leaving his
rectorship and the university together on August the 24th
1662, retired to the house of his kinsman Mr. Samuel Co-
nant in the countrey ; this was not so, for he stayed in the
city of Oxford som'e time, and afterwards went to North-
ampton or elsewhere, till after some yeares having satisfied
his mind about conformity, he was chosen vicar of the great
church at Nortliampion.

' And whereas the author writes that the Dr. was made
archdeacon of Norwich, in the place of his brother in law
Mr. John Reynolds deceased, it should have been in the
place of Mr. John Reynolds his wive's uncle deceased.']

" his author (classical authors mostly) but the very
" page of, if" occasion required, it. He was made a
'' deacon by Dr. W. Thomas bishop of Worcester
" in May 1684, and in the same month 1689 he
" was ordained priest at Oxon by Dr. Bapt. Levinz
" bishop of the isle of Man. On the 4th of Jul.
" following, he was inducted to the small rectory of
" Slapton near Towcester in Northamptonshire, (a
*' preferment that rather sought him, than he it,) of
*' which he died possest. As his memory was great,
" so he likewise shewed himself no less a master of
" wliat he wrote, preaching usually in considerable
" auditories without his notes, and yet never trusted
" to an immediate invention. His stile was florid
" and stately and bespoke him a master in the ele-
" gancies of the English tongue, which he had con-
" traded by a designed intimacy with such authors
" as were most likely to lead him into it. To add
" to this, I must let the reader know it as an un-
" questionable truth, that he was strictly firm to the
" interest of monarchy, and a true son of the church
" of England, as by law estabhshed, in opposition
" to all extreams. He had also a warm indignation
" at those who were for removing the ancient land-
" mark of property and prerogative, and for be-
" coming patriots by making incursions and inroads
" upon the rights of their prince, as likewise at those
" who called themselves protestants, and yet were
" always grudging at, and undermining the church
" of England, which is the bulwark of the protest-
" ant faith. His works, of which the four first are
" poetry, are these,

" tJie Coronation of K. William and Qu. Mary,

" by some friends, who, upon reading of The Pro-

" testant Bridle, had observed in him a warm and

" of a reader, when 'tis known they come from a

" have rewarded the world, for bearing with his

"juvenilia. At length after he had spent some

" weeks in London, partly upon the invitation of

" some dear relations, and partly to give himself the

" benefit of study and good conversation, he fell

" sick of the small pox, and after 8 or 9 days strug

livmg at Winchington before-mention''d, and when
a toleration or indidgence was granted to dis-
sentei-s in the latter end of 1671, he, tho' a pro-
fessed independent, did join with three noncon-
formist presbyterians, called Dr. Hen. Langley,
Mr. Hen. Coniish, and Mr. Job. Troughton to
carry on a course of constant preaching (tho' in
the face of the university) in a conventicle held
by them in Thame-street in the suburb of Oxon,
■where our author Gilbert was esteemed by the
scholars that frequented the said conventicle out
of novelty, the worse preacher of the four. See
in John Troughton, an. 1681, col. 10. But that
toleration being called in after it had endured
about an year, he carried on the trade notwith-
standing elsewhere, and was not wanting (as be-
fore) to give intelligence to the brethren, by
writing of all transactions (mostly those that
seemed bad) that had passed in the university of
Oxon. At length being reduced to extremity in
his last days, notwithstanding he had had many
advantages for laying up for a wet day, he was
forced to desire the charity of several heads of
colleges, and of private persons in Oxon, which
being allowed and given, he made a shift to rub
out to the last. While he was of S. Edm. hall,
he was esteemed a good philosopher, disputant
and philologist, and afterwards when in orders
and bach, of div. a good school-divine.* He hath

« ZACHARY MAYNE waslwrnin the parish
" of S. Petrock commonly called S. Petherick's
" within the city of Exeter, was entred first into
" Christ Church, and afterwards by the favour of
" the visitors appointed by parliament, became demy
" of Magd. coll. but being desirous to obtain the
" degree of bachelor of arts before he was full stand-
" ing for it, he procured letters from Ol. Cromwell
" chancellor of the university, to be directed to the
" vice-chancellor and convocation, that they dispense
" with the said Mayne for tlie want of two or three
" terms, as being a person eminently godly and of
" able parts, &c. which being done accordingly, and
'^ he aamittcd in the month of May 1652, he be-
" came the senior collector of the determining
" bachelors in the Lent following, and soon after
" fellow of his house, M. A. and a godly preacher
" in and near Oxon, and sometimes in the inde-
" pendent meeting, weekly kept in the loflgings of
" Dr. Tho. Goodwin president of Magd. coll. yet
" always a Socinian. What relates farther to this
" person and his opinion, I shall here set down as I
" find it in a letter by him written from Exeter to
" a worthy and orthodox minister of that diocese,

" which partly runs thus — ' I remember you desired
" me sometime since, that I would write you some
" passages that I had observed in Dr. T. Goodwin,

" Dr. Jo. Owen, and Ol. Cromwell. As for the

" sword man, I tiiink he was no atheist, but a
" mighty enthusiast : one while very zealous, and

" another while very boon 1 had his company

" with only one more for an hour or more, in which
" time he talked with us, but especially with my
" self as a private gentleman, without taking any

" great state upon him He commended Dr.

" Groodwin to us as a pers<in that had been greatly
■" instrumental in spreading the gospel, and a great

" luminary in the church At the same time I

" had a letter of recommendation to him from the
" said Dr. Goodwin, tho' the doctor knew that I
" could not answer the tryers by reason of Socinian

" doubts Dr. Goodwin was indeed a very great

" friend, and as a father to me. I lived in the same
" college with him seven years, and was of the

" number of those that joined with him as an inde-
" pendent congregation, and accordingly was pitched
" upon by him to be a lecturer in Shrewsbury in
" Shropshire, and to promote the congregational
" way. But, as I told you, I left it in the same
" place, and gave no disturbance to the town, but I
" bless God I had a fair reception and acceptation
" there with all. There I got acquaintance with
" Mr. Will. Jones (afterwards a judge) who '>vould
" have brought me acquainted with Dr. H. Ham-
" mond then living about 12 miles from Shrewsbury,
" and would have procured for me an ordination
" by the bishop of Bangor (Dr. W. Roberts) upon
" such terms as I should be satisfied in. But tnen
" soon upon these thoughts Oliver died, and I re-
" turned thither no more. All the seven years that
" I was in the college with Dr. Goodwin, I was (by
" the grace of God) working my self out of enthu-
" siasm, which I had deeply imbib'd from my in-
" fancy : and I frequently threw in objections in
" our meetings (which were once a week under Dr.
" Goodwin's superintendency) where we discoursed

" ex tempore upon a divinity question At last

" I made it a solemn proposal to Dr. Goodwin to
" be dismissed from their society, or rather declared
" to him that 1 judged not my self as obliged to
" them more than others by any relation I had en-
" tred into as a member of their society : and I re-
" member his answer was, he could not dismiss me
" into the world,' &c. Thus he ; who declared also
" to the said orthodox minister, that ' when he was
ndependent preacher, his conscience would

" craments, being sensible that he had no authority
" so to do,' &c. After the restoration of king Charles
" II. he was turn'd out of his fellowship of Magd.
" coll. to make room for a royalist who had been
" ejected in 1648, at which time our author being

took orders from a bishop I cannot tell, or whether
he was a prcaclier or lecturer of any church. Sure
I am, that about 1G71 he began to teach sch(X)l
at Dalwood in Dorsetshire, where he continued to
teach (some little interruption excepted) till he
came to Exeter, where by the favour of the mayor

sired of him in a pressing letter that he would
publish it for tlie common good. To whom he
replyed, that if he would print it, he would give
him the copy, with his permission to pubhsh it, if
he thought it might be of any use ; whereupon it
was made public by Edm. Elys a nonjuring mi-

" loss in him, for his kindness, and humanity, and
" amicable disposition, and affability, and pleasant-
" ness of temper, and condescention and sincerity,
" and readiness to do all good offices for any that
" had recourse to him. He exhausted much of his
" time in helping otliers, and laying out for their
" advantage tne authority which he bad gained ; as
" also in giving counsel and directions, and in ce-
" menting amity and peace. He delighted as much
" in doing any friendly turn, as if the profit had
" redounded to himself He was a common father
" to the persecuted and afflicted, a true, stedfast,
" and a faithful friend. His eloquent, solid and

" JOHN KETTLEWELL, son of Joh. Ket.
" of Northallerton in Yorkshu-e, became a student
" of S. Edm. hall in Mich, term 1670, aged 16
" years, at which time he became sen-itour to Dr.
*' Tully the principal and pupil to Mr. Joh. March
" vice-principal thereof. On the 28th of July 1675
*' he was elected fellow of Line. coll. and two years
" after jjroceeded in arts.' Afterwards entring into
" holy orders, he became chaplain to William lord
" Russel (the same who was beheaded for being a
" principal conspirator in tlie presbyterian plot 21
" July 1683) and in July 1682 he was made vicar
" of Coleshill in Warwickshire by the free gift of
" Simon lord Digby baron of Geashill, and lord of
" that manor ; where continuing till after the coming
" to the crown of Will, prince of Orange, was then
" deprived of that vicaricige for the refusing to take
" tlie oaths to him when king by the name of Will.
" 3. and to his queen. His books shew him to be
" a very pious, as well as a learned, person, and will
" out-last any monument his friends can bestow
" upon him : He was, as far as I could perceive
" (having had some acquaintance with him) of a
" sweet and courteous disposition, and very com-
" municative. I will not venture to say any more
" of him, least I should wrong his memory by giving
" too mean a character of him ; which I am sure I
" must do if I should attempt it. His works are
" these, viz.

" Defects are consistent with it, for tlie Promotion

suggestion, dedicated to Dr. Complon, then bishop of Lon-

tlewell gave orders to have the dedication cancelled from all
the unsold copies, and to be omitted in the future editions,
saying that there should be nothing in the (lortal to it, which
should contradict that which was within, or the known cha-

[Kettlewell's works were collected in 1718, and
printed at London in two volumes folio, with a life
of the author by Dr. Hickes, who was his friend
and adviser, and through whose means he was
elected a fellow of Lincoln college, at the resigna-
tion of Dr. llatcliffe. The circumstance of Ket-
tlewell's success in opposition to the interest of Dr.
Ratcliffe, who wished to secure the situation for a
friend, is supposed by Dr. Hickes to have occasioned
some alteration in the will of the former in prejudice
to the college, to whom, as well as to Dr. Marshall
the rector, he could never afterward be heartily re-
conciled.

Besides the pieces already noticed by Wood, tlie
collection contains (1.) Five Discovr.ses on so many
very important Pcnnts of practical Religion, with

'Die foUowng character was written by liis friend
Mr. Nelson, whose intimate knowledge of his man-
ners and opinions makes his testimony peculiarly
valuable. He was learned without pride, wise and
judicious without cunning; he ser\'ed at the altar
without either covetousness or ambition ; he was
devout without affectation ; sincerely religious with-
out moroseness; courteous and affable without flat-
tery or mean compliances; just without rigour,
charitable without vanity ; and heartily zealous for
the interest of religion without faction. Dr. Hickes
says, ' his great piety, useful learning, and sohd
judgment rendered him a public blessing, and a pe-
culiar ornament of the church and age wherein he
lived.']

aged 17 years : where spending two years or more
in logicals under a noted tutor, was taken thence
and designed by his father for the obtaining of
some knowledge in the municipal laws at London.
But soon after the civil war beginning, to the
horror of all good men, he was sent for home, fol-
lowed the pleasant paths of ix)etry and philology,
became noted for his ingenuity, and pubhshetl se-
veral spcK'imens thereof, of wliich his Olor Lscamts

proud and humorous. He liath written,

" DUDLEY LOFTUS, sonof sir Adam Loftus
" sometime vice-treasurer of Ireland, and one of the
" lords of his majesty's council in that kingdom, was
" born in the castle of Refernam or Raff'arnham
" [Ilathfarnam] near Dublin (built by his great
" grandfather Dr. Ad. Loftus archb. of that place)
" admitted fellow commoner of Trin. college there
" an. 1635, took one degree in arts, at which time
" Dr. Usher primate of Ireland observing that he
" had made that proficiency in the study of the
" eastern and western languages, that before he was
" 20 years of age he was able to translate near as
" many languages into his mother tongue, he ear-
" nestly advised his father to send him to the uni-
" versity of Oxon, and there to encourage his ad-
" vance in that study, affirming that there was a
" great use and a great want in the protestant
" church of able men, well vers'd and acquainted
" with the histories and languages of the oriental
" churches, and that by his acquaintance and cor-
" respondence with some eminent persons of those
" parts, he , had discovered that more primitive
" purity of Christian reli^on might be got from the
" eastern than the western books, because the former
" had not been so corrupted by the heathens, as
" the western had been by the degenerated Chris-
" tians. On these motions our author Dudl. Loftus
" was sent by his father to Oxon, and being entred
" into Univ. coll. he was incorporated bach, of arts
"in Nov. 1639, at which time entring on the law
" line with intentions of taking the degree of bacli.
" of that faculty, he was persuaded by the society
" of the said coll. to take the degree of master, to
" the end that he might bear some public office un-
" der the proctor of that house, to be elected in the
" beginning of the year 1641 ; in which year his
" magisterial degree was to be compleated after the
" Act time. Afterwards being admitted ad regen-
" dum, he returned to Ireland with a resolution to
" take leave of his friends, and to improve his study
" by travelling into foreign parts, but was prevented
" by the horrid rebellion that broke out in that
" kmgdom on the 23d of Octob. the same year
" (1641.) His father, sir Adam beforc-mention'd,
" being then vice-treasurer, and of the king's coun-
" cil, was necessitated to continue in Dublin, and
" employing his eldest son sir Arthur Loftus in the
" English army, garrison'd his castle of Raff arnham,
" and got the charge thereof to be committed by
" the then government on his other, son Dudl.
" Loftus, of whom we are to make farther mention.
" This castle by its situation being a frontier to the
" city of Dublin against the barbarous mountaineers
" of the county of" Wickloe, not only preserved the
" city from the incursions of that barbarous people,
" but also the English plantations of those pfirts.
" And it gave our author Loftus frequent opportu-
" nities of doing considerable execution on the com-
" mon enemy, and continued so to do, and in the
" vigorous defence thereof till the Irish besieged

or thereabouts, took a degree in arts, was elected
fellow of his coll. in 16-3.5, and proceeding in his
faculty, he entred into holy orders and became a
noted tutor. After he had continued in his coll.
during the war, he was ejected from his fellow-
ship by the visitors appointed liy parliament, an.
1648 ; whereupon givmg a farewell to his country
for a time, he travelled beyond the seas, and spent
a considerable time in Rome, whereby he advan-
taged himself much as to the knowledge of tiie

world, men and languages. After his majesty's
restoration, being put into his fellowship by the
commissioners then appointed to visit the univer-
sity, he travelled again with certain young gentle-
men, spent more time in Rome, and, after his
return, might have been elected master of his coll.
on the death of Dr. Tho. Walker, an. 1665, but
he refused it, and chose rather to live an obscure
and retired life, than take that trouble upon him ;
yet after the death of Dr. Rich. Clayton (who
had succeeded Dr. Walker in the mastership) he
accepted of that office, rather tiian a stranger
should come in (as 'twas designed) an. 1676. In
the latter end of Octob. 1678, the popish plot
being then discovered, and the generality of [KHjple
much exasperated (especially upon the murder of
sir Edmundbury Godfrey) there was a complaint
matle in the parliament-house against him for
giving his assistmg-hand (as Abr. Woodhead then
lately deceased did) towards the training up of
youths at Hogsdon alias Hoxton near London, in
the Rom. Catholic principles, and that he had
expressed himself very popishly affected in his

" published (as I shall tell you anon) and therefore
*' ne was esteemed not fit to govern a coll. hut that
" matter, by others of greater imjwrtance, soon after
" came to notliing. In April 1679 sir Harbottle
" Grimstbn spoke a speech m the parliament-house,
" and therein took occasion to mention the printing
" of certain books at the Theater in Oxon, as the
" notes on K. Alfred's Life before-niention''d, wherein
" were several matters (as he said) that savoured of
" popery, and Hist. ^ Antiq. Univ. Oxon, wherein
" also were certain things written that were agmnst
" the reformation made of the church of England
" (which matter was put into his head by Dr. Gilb.
" Burnet ') besides a Blhle wherein were many foul
" faults : But this I speak by the by. On the 5th
" of Jan. 1685, king Jam. II. having been scarce a
" year in the throne, Mr. Walker repaired on a
" sudden to London, purposely, as ''twas supposed
" at Oxon, to be persuaded by the cabal at Somerset
" house (who had sent for him) to declare openly
" what he had been in mind many years before ;
" and returning to his coll. about the latter end of
" the said month, he kept up close in his lodgings,
" and did not frequent the coll. cliappel as formerly
" he did. About the beginning of March following,
" when he understood that the report was current
*' that he was a Bora. Cath. and that it was put in
" the French Gazette, he declared to many of his
" friends and acquaintance that resorted to him that
" he was really so ; and thereupon the report flying
[934] " thro' the nation that ' a head of a coU. in Oxon
" had declared himself a papist,'' the presbyterians
" and other malicious people aid aggravate thematter
" so much that they gave out that ' all the univer-
" sity were papists ;'' which giving great scandal to
" many, caused some young divines in Oxon to
" preach more against popery than formerly, par-

'* ticularly Mr. Edwards one of the chaplains

" of Ch. Ch. when he preached at S. Mary''s on
•i' Palm-Sunday the 28th of March 1686. After-
" wards Mr. Walker became a by-word among the
" protestants in Oxon and elsewhere, was abused to
" his face when met with in the public streets and
" lanes, and had songs made of him (Obadiah Ave
" Maria) by the connivance of the magistrate. After
" Mr. Walker had declared, he had private mass in
" his lodgings, till such time as he could make and
" furnish a chappel within the limits of his coll. :
" which being done according to his mind, by con-
" verting two lower rcxjms on the east side of the
" quadrangle for that purpose, he opened it for a
" pubhc use on Sunday the 15th of Aug. 1686, to
" which resorted some scholars, some inhabitants
" of Oxon, and many troopers that then quartered
" therein : But the junior scholars and the mobile

» [Burnet in his noles on Woo.J's letter, see Hist, of
Reform, iii, 391, append, says on this: • 1 do profess I do
tiot remember that I ever mentioned your book to him : and
sir Harbottle himself, when I asked him the question, said,
he ncVcr heard mc speak of it.']

looking upon it as a foppery, divers affronts were
given to the priest and auditory. In Octob. fol-
lowing Mr. Walker obtained a license from his
maj. to print certain books lying by him, because
he knew they would not pass thro'' the licenser's
hands, and m Jan. following that, he published
Tzoo Discnurse.i concerning the Adoration of our
Blessed Saviour in the Eucharist, &c. penn''d by
his quondam tutor Abr. Woodhead. But Mr.
Walker finding himself betrayed by the printeV,
by permitting the said book to go away to another
hand sheet by sheet as soon as they were wrought
off, if not before, especially when an answer to the
said Discourses came out a month after they were
published, he set up cases of letters and a press in
the back-part of his lodgings, belonging to him as
master of^Univ. coll. where he printed other works
of the same author, and would nave- printed many
more (all or most against the ch. of England) had
king James II. continued longer on the throne.
On the 7th of July 1687, the assizes being then
begun in Oxon, he the said Mr. Walker and Mr.
Job. Masscy dean of Ch. Ch. were nominated
justices of peace for the county of Oxon, and sate
as justices m the sessions and assizes that followed
so long as the said king continued in I ngland :
And on the 9th of Nov. 1688, the prince of
Orange l)eing then arrived in the West, Mr.
Walker left Oxon for Lond. to prevent the insults
of the rabble, which might follow (as they did) if
the said prince succeeded in his expedition ; and
about a fortnight after his new printing-house and
chappel were cleared of all goods, stuff, and utensils
in tnem. On the 11th of Decemb. 1688, he with
Andr. Pulton the Jesuit and late schoolmaster at
the Savoy and others, who were riding in a coach
towards the sea-side in order to be transported ta
France, but forced to return towards London,
because they heard that the rabble were up in
Kent purposely to seize on all the papists that
were flying beyond seas, were overtaken by
them, seized on, carried to Feversham, and com-
mitted prisoners to the town-house or hall, and
soon after to the jayle, where they continued
till they were transmitted to London : and being
conveyed thither under guard, Mr. Walker was rnqei
committed prisoner to the Tower. Qn the 4th L-^'*'']
of Feb. following Mr. Walker was declared non-
master of Univ. coll. for being a papist, by the
vicechancellor and doctors of the university of
Oxon, they then sitting in the common refectory
of that house : which being done, they declared
the fellowships of Nath. Boys and Tho. Deane
masters of arts (two of Mr. Walker's disciples and
converts) void : and that being done also, they
declared void the revenues of a fellowship held by
Joseph Edwards alias Wakeman a Jesuit, chap-
lain to Mr. Walker's chappel. And on the 15th
of the said month Edw. Ferrer M. A. and senior
fellow of the said coll. was elected master thereof

" in the room of Mr. Walker. On the 25th of Oct.
" or thereabouts, an. 1689, the said Mr. Walker
" witii sir Edw. Hales late constaiile of the f5aid
" Tower (who had been taken in Kent in his flight
" with king James II. towartls France, on the eleventh
" of Dec. 1G88) and Charles his brother, &c. were
" brought from the Tower by an habeas corpm to
" Westniiuster-Hall and sued for bail, but instead
" of obtaining it they were sent for to the house of
*' connnons, where standing at the bar, Mr. Walker
" was charged by the said house (1) For changing
" his religion. (2) For seducing others to it, ami
" {?)) For keeynng a inass-housc in the university of

" Oxon. To which he made these answers.

" ' I cannot say that I ever alter'd my religion, or
" that my principles do now wholly agree with those
" of the church of Rome. Mr. Anderson was my
" governor and director, and from him in my youth
" I learned those principles which I have since
" avowed. If tjiey were popish, I have not changed
" my religion : And they will not be found to be
" wholly agreeable with the doctrine of the Rom.
" Cath. church. (2) I never seduced others to the
" Romish religion. All my books and precepts tend
" only to make men gocnl moralists and gocxl Chris-
" tians: nor did I ever interest my self in per-
" suading any body to this or that party. This
" will be plain to every btnly that reads my books
" of The Life of Christ, my book Of Education,

" my book Of Benefits, &c. Parliam. Those

" very books are not without exceptions ; many
" Popish doctrines are in them — — Walker. I suj)-
" pose not, gentlemen ; my Life of Christ was
" licensed by the vicechancellor of Oxon, was revised
" by Dr. J. Fell who owned me for his friend, and
" who is sufficiently known to have been no papist,
" and it was perused by the present professor Dr.

" Jane Pari. But there are alterations in it from

" the copy revised, allowed and licensed. Walk.

" None, sirs ; I apjical to all that reviewed it : there
" is no alteration in that book, no passages therein
" inserted that were expunged : and the like satis-
" faction shall be given in the rest of my treatises.
" (3) As to the chappel, it was not more my gift
" than the fellows of Univ. coll. King James re-
" quested it of us, and we gave a part of it of the
" coll. to his use. The employment of it was accord-
" ing to his conmiand, and I am only concerned, as
" being one that obeyed him in it,' &c. Afterwards
" sir Hen. Goodrick a parliament man for Borough-

" brigg in Yorkshire spoke thus ' I had the

" happiness to be bred up under Mr. Anderson,
" and the misfortiuie to be educated with Mr.
" Walker, and I affirm that he was not a man of
" those principles that Mr. Walker charges him
" with.' Afterwards Mr. Walker was sent back
" again to the Tower for treason, as having changed
" his religion and seduced others so to do. At the
" same time sir Edw. Hales was remitted to the
" Tower also, but as for his brotlier Charles Hales

" IX. bac. sometime a gent. com. of Univ. coll. I
" think he was not. On the Slst of Jan. 1689, he
" with sir Edw. Hales w ere by habeas ecrrjm.s bnnight
" from the Tower again to the King's Bench bar,
" and there, ujx)n ^ooA st>curity given by each, they
" were bailed, and forthwith set at lil)erty, but both
" were afterwards excepted out of the act of pardon
" of^king Will. III. and c|ueen Mary, dated the 23d
" of May following. This !\Ir. Walker was a jicr-
" son, esteemed by those that knew him, and who
" were themselves known to be gcxjd judges, to be
" well <|ualified for the advancement and direction
" of collegiate and academical studies, having been
" one, who in his travels abroad, had (Ixisides the
" great stock of various erudition and science amassed
" together in himself) by observation of foreign dis-
" cipline, laws and customs of divers communities,
" and by conversation with their most eminent
" directors and professors, gained more experience
" in order to such an end, than can ever be possibly
" acquired by any meer home-bred education and
" industry, especially being made, as I may say, for
" such an employ by reason of his great prudence
" and discretion, his philosophical and unpassionate
" temper, and lastly his great love of a private and
" sedate life, joyned with a great hatred of idleness
" both in himself and others. This love of active
" solitude in him, was much improv'd and heightened
" by his afflictions (occasion'd by declaring himself
" a papist,) which did only give him the means and
" advantage of pursuing what he loves best, with a
" less distraction, verifying and experiencing in him-
" self, what old S. Hierom did in his grot of Beth-
" lehem after the like laborious age spent in learning
" and travels, that' ' senectus eorum, qui adolescen-

" remaineil in that coll. which was five years (but
" took no degree) he made an excursion for about
" 9 months to the famous matlieniatician called
" Will. Oughtred )iarson of Aldbury in Surrey, by
" whom he was initiated in the study of mathe-
" matics, and afterwards retiring to his a)ll. for a
" time, he at length went to London, was cntred a
" student in the Middle Temple ; but when the
" unhappy difference between the king and jKirlia-
" ment grew to that distance, that Ixjth parties were
" in arms, his youthful zeal carried him, with his
" mother s brother, to the king then at York, where
" he stayed some time ; but being not sufficiently
" provided with money and arms he went privately
" to London to recruit himself, yet, it seems, he
" carried his business not so privately, but a mes-
" sengcr tixjk him into his custody the next morn-
" ing, and cfmveyed away not only him and his
" horses, l)iit his mother's coach-horses, jewels and
" plate and what else he could find. At that time
" he being connnitted to custody, he could not
" recover his liberty, till he had given very good
" security, by the intercession of Algernon earl of
" Northumberland and Henry carl of Holland, never
" to go to the king's army again ; which being
" effected he procured their pass to travel out of
" England, a»id tliereuixin went into Holland and
" made one campaign m the army of the prince of
" Orange. Afterwards he passed into France, and
" thence into Spain, where he went from one end of
" it to the other twice. Thence he went into Italy,
" where he spent most of his time at Rome, Padua,
" and Venice, till a little before the murther of king
" Charles I. and then he got leave to come for
" England. Afterwards he rcturnetl again to the
" Middle Temple, was called to the bar, but his
" long absence and the sowre complexion of the
" tiines quite discouraged him from the practice of
" the common law. Upon the return of king Charles
" II. he was made secretary of the French tongue
" and gentleman of the privy chamber in ordinary
" (being then also fellow of the Royal S<x;iety) and
" so continued during the reign of king James II.
" and part of that of king William III. But in
" 1691 or thereabouts, being then arrived beyond
" the age of man, he gave himself up to a retired
" and studious life in his house in Kensington near
" London, where now (Jan. 1693) he lives. In the
" l)eginning of the year 1672, the king sending a
" splendid embassy to the court of Denmark, was
" pleased to make choice of Mr. Henshaw to send
" him as his secretary of the embassy, and an assistant
" to Charles duke of Richmond, his embassador
" extraordinary, but the said duke unhappily dying

buried of the college several years together, all which
time he made it a considerable part of his business to

tually, that he was often mentioned, with great ve-
neration, among the society, in I learnc''s day.

He died July 21, 1699, and was buried at Newent,
Gloucest.' He gave to the IJodleian library, all his
coins and medals, whether of gold, silver or copper,
in thankful remembrance of tlie obligations he had
to that famous university. The coins amounted in

" examining it, told the vicechancellor he had
" preached false doctrine and must recant, Nichol-

" upon his name was sent to the bishops to stop his
" future preferment. After king James II. came
" to the crown he declared himself a Rom. Catholic,

is very erroneously recorded as 108 years of age. By the Re-

appears that he entered at Univ. college October ig, 1 669, then
18 years old. He subscribed to the articles and took the oath

Hough afterwards bishop of Worcester) when he was pro-

It clearly follows therefore, that he was eigbty-four years
old at the time of his decease.

The above account also corrects the person who tran-
scribed Wood's paper, and madeDeane 15 when he entered at
University. I ascribe the error to the transcriber rather than
to Wood, because I have invariably found the latter correct,
whenever I have had occasion to make enquiry into his
statements. I cannot give the same credit to tne person em-
ployed by bishop Tanner to transcribe my author's original

" couraged Lichfield to print Erasmus's Dialogus

Of this fourth volume it may be rcmarlied, that, excepting
the dissertation by Dodwell, the title, dedication and preface,
it is nothing more than an edition of Dionysius printed at
Oxon in I71O. Hudson, conceiving this book a fit supple-
ment to the 0 vol. already published, procured the remaining
copies and, adding the title, dissert, dedic. and preface, sent it
forth to the world as the concluding portion of his Geogra-
phers.

It may also be staled, that an edit, of Dionysius with notes
and the commentaries of Eustathius, together with Pcrieniesis
Prisciani, had been previously published at Oxford in i()97.
This is frequently substituted for the genuine fourth volume,
which however is now so exactly described, that it is pre-
eumed no mistake can occur.]

• [Dr. Hudson told Hearne that lie had burnt the third and fourth
vol. of his Geographers, because they would not sell, though he had
printed off a supernumerary quantity of Dionysius's Periegesis, and
that they paid for the impression. MS. Collections, Ixxxiii, \6i.]

f [Tlie dedication of tlic fourth volume was design'd by the editor
toTho. Itawliiison esq. and his coat of arms engraveti by ]\Ir, Michael
Purghers, for that end, of which there are more than one proof, but
this was dropt by the avaritious editor, who liopcH a larger gratifica-
tion from Mr. Cherry of Shotesbroke. Rawlinson, MS. Kotes to

fact seems to be, that Hudson took much notice of
Hearne, when he first began to Ix? a student in the
Hodleian, and treated him for a long time with
marketl kindness and liberality: — this friendship
continued till Hudson, somewhat changed in his
jxJitical principles, became angi-y at the inflexible
.lacobitism of Hearne, and Itearnc, on his side,
detested the Dr. for having openly deserted a
cause which he had always supjxjsed him to favour
secretly. Party spirit, at all times either the firm
cement or the sure destruction of private friend-
ship, at that moment ran particularly high, and it is
probable that Hudson found it necessary to desert
Hearne in order to render his own sincerity to the
government unsuspected, and he did accordingly
desert him till within a short period of his death,
when to Hearne's great surprise he was sent for
to St. Mary hall and received in a very friendly
manner by his old friend and master, who com-
mended his Ixxik then printing (Gul. Neuhrigims'it
Chron.) and gave him some communications for it.
From this time Hearne says little in his poCket
books about him, but he docs not retract his former
opinions, nor soften down the character before given.
I have said thus much to prove that Hearne''s ac-
count of Hudson would not have been a fair one,
composed, as it was, under circumstances of peculiar
irritation and dislike, and as my object is to speak
the truth and not to gratify private spleen or in-
dulge ill-natured curiosity, I thmk it will be allowed,
that I am not to blame in rejecting the testimony of
one who, though he knew much concerning Hudson,
was decidedly biassed, from personal motives, in his
disfavour.

The case of Hudson, when he was canditlate for
a fellowship of University, affords another instance
of an attempt to set aside the statutes of a college,
and one as I believe not before recorded. Tne
master Dr. Obadiali Walker fancied that Hudson
was not of a statutable county, and to remove the
difficulty procured the following royal mandate * —
To our trusty and well-beloved the master and fel-
lows of University college in our university of Oxon.

year of our reign. By his majesty's command,

It should be addetl, that Hudson refused to avail
himself of this numdato, declaring that he woidd
' rather live hy his wits, than come into a college,
without the consent of the fellows.'

Hudson proceeded to the degree of bach, of div.
and D. D. June 5, 1701, havmg on the 11th of
April preceding been elected keeper of Hodley's
librarv, vacant by the resignation of Dr. Tho. Hyde.
His opi)onent was John Wallis of Magdalen col-
lege : the numbers polled were Hudson 194, Wallis
173.8

Hearne says, and no doubt from the information
of Dr. Hudson himself, that the Dr. would cer-
tainly have succeeded Dr. Levins as professor of
Greek, had not bishop Burnet used this argument
for Dr. Humph, llody, to king William ; That he
had writ for the government, whereas Hudson was
rather suspected to be no friend to it.'

In 1711 he was offered the place of principal of
Gloucester hall, which he declined,- but soon after
he was made, thro' the interest of Dr. Ratcliffc,
principal of St. Mary hall, where he was admitted
and installed Jan. 16, 1712-13. on the death of
Will. Wyatt.'

Dr. Hudson resigned his fellowship June 14,
1711, having married April 2, 1710, Margaret, only
daughter of sir Robert Harrison knt. an alderman
and mercer of Oxford."* This lady was the widow
of Mr. Knapp, a barrister, and commoner of Uni-
versity college, by whom she had no issue. By Dr.
Hudson she had one daughter Margaret, born July
24, bapt. Aug. 2, 1711,* married July 29, 1731,
to the rev. John Boyce (son of sir John Boyce al-
derman of Oxford) commoner of Ch. C'h. rector of
Sajntbury Gloucestershire.''

'' [See a curious dispute on the subject of a contract of
marriage supposed to have been entered into between Miss
Hudson and a Mr. John Goole, vicar of Eynsham, Oxon. in
Gentleman's Magazine iv, S53. Hearne mentions it fre-
quently in hisMS. Collections vol. cxxxix, p. 143; cxlii, p.
122, 140. He says, she was a very pretty young woman, of
a very good fortune, and her husband of nearly the same age
(cxxx, III) whereas he owns Goole to have been about 44.

Mrs. Hudson, after her second husband's death, married his
friend Dr. A nth. Hall of Queen's college; she died in the
latter end of Sept. 1731 and was buried in the chancel of St.
Mary's church Sept. ib, near the body of Dr. Hudson.}

don, Surrey, where is the following inscri|)tion on a
flat sUme ; Here lieth the Body of the most reverend
John Potter D. D. Archbishop of Canterbury, who
died Oct. 10th 1747. In the 74t]i year of Ins age.«

Dr. Potter married soon after he obtained the
divinity profes.sorship, I believe to a Miss Venner,
grand-daughter of Thomas Venner the fifUi mo-
narchy-man,^ by whom he lia<l a large faniily : of
these four daughters and two sons only survived
him.

Archbishop Potter's eldest son, John, was born
in 1713, matriculated of Christ church, Dec. 1,
1727, and soon after appointed a canon student.
He pr(x:eeded B. A. June 18, 1731 ; M. A. June
12,1734; B.D.November 7, 1741; D.D.October
14, 1745. He was successively vicar of Black-
burne, Lancashire, and of Eline cum Emneth in
the isle of Ely, archdeacon of Oxford, vicar of Lyd,
rector of Chidingstone, prebendary of Cantcrbiuy,
and rector of Wrotham in Kent ; and finally dean
of the cath. church of Cant. Pearly in life he mar-
ried imprudently, on which account the archbishop
left the bulk of his fortune to his second son. Dean
Potter died at Wrotham September 20, 1770 aged
57, and was buried at Canterbury, as was his widow
Martha, who survived him five years.

The archbishop's second son, Thomas Potter, was
bred to the law, and appointed by his father to the
registracy of the province of Canterbury. He was
also recorder of Bath, joint-vice-treasurcr of Ireland
and in parliament for Oakhampton, in Devonshire :

" JOHN EVELYN of Says-Court in Kent son
" of Rich. Evelyn of Wotton in Surrey, esq; was
" born at Wotton on the 21st of Oct. 1620, edu-
" cated in the free-school at Lewes in Sussex, became
" a gent. com. of Baliol coll. in the beginning of the
" year 1637, where he continued about 3 years in
" the studies of logic and philosophy. Thence he
" went to the Middle Temple, where he continued
" till the rebellion broke out to the great teiTor of
" the nation. In 1644, he, by the express leave of
" his maj. king Charles I. under his own hand dated
" at Oxon, travelled above seven years into the
" politer countries of Europe, and in his return
" thro' France he married the sole daughter and
" heir of sir Rich. Browne knight and baronet, then
" resident for his majesty king Charles II. with the
" French king. After his majesty's restoration he
" was elected fellow of the Royal Society, was made
" one of the commissioners (together with sir Thorn.
" Clifford, afterwards lord treasurer of England,
" and other honourable persons) for the taking care
" of the sick and wounded sea-men and prisoners of
" war during all our conflicts with the Dutch and
" the French ; and afterwards (amongst divers of
" the prime nobility) was made one of the coimcU
" for foreign plantations, &c. In the year 1667,
" he, by his mterest, obtained of the lord Hen.
" Howard that his antient marbles called Marmora
" Arundeliana standing in the garden belonging to
" Arundel house without Temple Bar within the
" liberty of Westminster should be given to the
" university of Oxford, which being effected to his
" mind, he had the solemn thanks of the university
" of Oxon, sent to him by the delegates thereof, and

Tlic same prelate in another letter dated Mar. 3, says,
' The controversy about church power seems now to be got
into good hands, who I hope will do the subject justice, in
writing upon it, 1 am sorry the good bishop of Oxford has
been treated so unworthily, but his tliaractcr is too well

' Let us therefore rather celebrate public employment and
an active life, which renders us so nearly alUed to virtue,
defines and maintains our king, supports societies, preserves
kingdoms in peace, protects them in war, has discovered new
world?, planted the gospel, increases knowledge, cultivates
arts, relieves the afflicted ; and, in sum, without which, the
whole universe itself had been still but a rude and indigested
chaos. Or, if you had rather see it represented in picture,
behold here a sovereign sitting in his august assembly of par-
liament, enacting wholesome laws ; next him, my lord chan-
cellor and the rest of the reverend judges and magistrates,
dispensing them for the good of the people! Figure to your-
self a secretary of state, making his dispatches and receiving
intelligence ; a statesman countermining some pernicious
plot against the commonwealth : here a general bravely em-
battling his forces and vanquishing his enemy ; there a co-
lony planting an island, and a barbarous and solitary nation
reduced to civility; cities, houses, forts, ships, building for
society, shelter, defence and commerce! In another table,
the poor relieved and set at work, the naked clad, the
oppressed delivered, the malefactor punished, the labourer
busied, and the whole world employed for the benefit of
mankind. In a word, behold bini, in the nearest resem-
blance to his almighty Maker, always in action and always
doing Kood.' See a good paper by Brydges, on this little
tract of Evelyn's, in Censura Literaria, 1. I.]

of February 170j, being the 86 Year
of his Age, in full hope of a glorious
Resurrection, thro' Faitli in Jesus Christ.

but in reall Piety.

Daughter and Heiress of Sir Rich. Browne of Sayes

Susanna, married to William Draper Esq. of Ads-

dying in the Flower of their Age, and all the Sons
very young, except one named John, who deceased

"in one or more sheets in the middle of the said
" book ; and thereupon several copies so altered

' were exposed to sale. Yet in the month of May
' following, the remaining copies of the impression
' not altcr'd, were dispers'd abroad. On the 26th
' of July next ensuing, Jonathan bishop of Exeter,
' visitor of Exeter coll. did for the jiublication of

' ills rectory of that coll. and thereby laying open a
' way for other miseries to follow on the learned
' author, certain masters of the universities, like

' fall the greater, by subscribing to several petitions
' by them drawn up to be given to the vice-chan-

■ cellor for further execution t<j be done, for the

■ a congregation, the masters promoted it therein ;

■ but he being unwilling to proceed against the

■ author or book barely upon that |)etition, another

■ subscribed by about 60 masters was delivered in

■ the said aiwdf. by Mr. Jo. Beacham of Trin. coll.
to the said vice clian. he being then about to enter
the house of convocation. So that upon these

■ their eager resolutions, there was a meeting of the
heads ol the houses on the 18th of the said month
of Aug. who coming to a result what to do in the
matter, there was assembled a full convocation the
next day, wherein the doctors and masters passing
their judgment and decree, that in the said book
called T/ie Naked Gospel were certain impious
and heretical propositions repugnant to the chief
mysteries of faith in the cath. church, especially
in that of England ; it was, after the dissolution of
that convocation, publickly burnt in the school-

in Lent term 1638, aged 17 years, took the de-
gree of bach, of arts in 1642 : At which time the
city of Oxon being garrison'd for the use of his
majesty king Charles L he left the university, re-
tired to his own country, and became vicar of St.
Laurence Clist near Exeter. After the restoration
of king Charles 1 1, he was by virtue of his letters
actually created bach, of div. and soon after was
made preb. of Exeter. He was a person well read
in the fathers, Jewish and other antient writings,
and much conversant with the works of the more
modern authors, as having been well skill'd in the
writings of the several sorts of Enghsh separatists,
especially of the presbyterians ; the great danger
and destructiveness of their rebellious principles
and practices (reducing them into faithful histori-
cal narratives from their first origin and source
quite down to these times) few, if any, have fully
and truly represented in their proper colours,
fairly examined or more clearly refuted and set
out. He hath also undergone that very toilsome
drudgery of reading many or most of Mr. Rich-
ard Baxter's books, and hath published reflections
and animadversions on several of them. He was
always a great loyalist (if not a sufferer too for
that cause,^) and in the following pieces set out
by him, hath mostly appeared in defence of the
church of England against some of her inveterate
adversaries of the Geneva stamp and brood. He
hath wrote

" without a degree, took the covenant, and became
" minister of S. Phiiip^s church in IJristol, lived
" upon it till about 1650, left his ministry and
" turned merchant, being blamed for so doing, and
" all peoj^le took him to be a man of no religion,
" therefore turned quaker, and is a great patron of
" them, worth 40000/. lives well, eats and drinks

" RICHARD IZACKE, son of Samuel Izacke
" of the city of Exeter, gent, was born there, ad-

[954] " aged 17 years, left it because of the eruption of
" the civil war, in the latter end of the next year,
" without the taking of any degree. Afterwards
" settling in his native country, he became cham-
" berlain of the city of Exeter 1653, and town-clerk
" in 1682, or thereabouts. He hath written,

" Antiquttica (or Memorials) of the City of
" Exeter. Lond. 1677, in a large oct. and prnited
" in a close small character. As he hath retrieved
" many things relating to that ancient and famous
" city, which would have been otherwise lost, so
" hath he committed many foul errors therein,
" which a curious and critical reader may easily
" discern.'

" PETER WYCHE, the eldest son of sir Pet.
" Wyche, kniglit, comptroller of the houshold to
" king CJharles I. was born in London, admitted
" fellow-commoner of Exeter coll. on the 29th of
" Apr. 1643, aged 15 years, left the said house in
" Octob. 1644, went to Trin. hall in Cambridge,
" and there took the degree of M. of A. and after-
" wards travelled. About the time of the restora-
" tion of king Charles II. he received the honour
" of knighthood, was incorporated M. of A. of this
" university in 1663 (being then of the royal so-
'' ciety) and afterwards was employed in several
" embassies by his majesty, particularly as envoy
" to the court of Muscovy, 1669, resident at Ham-

" MS. at the desire of the royal society. The said
" sir Pet. Wyche the father, was son of Rich, and
" he the son of another Rich, descended from the
" Wyches of Davenham in Cheshire, was originally
" a merchant, and for twelve years time I find him
" ambassador for his majesty of England at Con-
" stantino])le. Afterwards he was made coniptroler
" of his majesty's houshold, and of his privy council
" in the time of the rebellion. And dying at Oxon
" in the beginning of Dec. was buried on the 7th of
" the same month 1643, in the S. isle joyning to the
" choir of the cath. of Christ Church there, leaving
" then behind him Jane a daughter married to sir
" Job. Greenvill earl of Bath, and Peter and Cyril,
" afterwards knights.

" GEORGE BULL, son of a father of both his
" names by Elizabeth Perkyns his wife, was born
" within the city of Wells in Somersetsliiie on the
" 25th of March 1634, became a sojourner of
" Exeter coll. on the 10th of Jul. 1648, continued
" there till January ] 649, and then left the univer-
" sity without the honour of a degree. At whieli
" time sojourning in the house of Mr. Hen. Jeanes
" rector of Chedzoy in the same county, did, under
" him, improve his knowledge much in academical
" learning. Afterwards entring into holy orders,
" he was by the favour of Dr. Nicolson bishop of
" Gloucester made rector of both the Siddingtons
" near to Cirencester in Gloucestershire, and in
" 1678 one of the preb. of Gloucester by the en-
" deavours of Dr. Job. Tillotson. In 1686 he was
" made archdeacon of IJandaft" in the ])lace of one
" E. Gamage, as it seems, deceased ; and the same
" year had the degree of D. of D. conferred on him.
" His stay, as you see, in this university was so
" short, that one would think that it had been in-
" sufficient to have laid a competent foundation, on
" which to have raised so noble a superstructure of
" solid learning, which he hath since abundantly
" discovered. But the excellency of his riper and
" more pregnant parts, secondetl by severe indu.stry,
" and unwearied diligence, hath compensated in
" some measure that loss which lie sustained, thro'
" his removal hence so soon. He made quick ad-
" vanccs, and an early proficiency in some of the
" more abstruse and untrodden paths of theology
" (the first and ruder draught of his Harmonia,
" &c. being framed when he was but 27 years of
" age) and took not up in his studies, as many have
" done, and do still, with systematical divinity,
" whose authors being mostly foreigners of a late
" date, and commonly no great friends to the doc-
*' trine, much less to the discipline, of our church,

" ddinitions, ana dogmatical conclusions, set out
" in a more plausible dress, cunningly to scatter
" throughout the whole their darling notions, by
" this means the better to win upon the unwai'v

" temns in his writings, as setting out at the wrong
" end, lie himself still desiring to drink of the un-
" tainted and uncorrupt fountains of pure primitive
" antiquity. 1 shall not inteqx)se my judgment so
" far as |x>sitively to determine whether preference
" be to Ix; given to Dr. Th. Tully, or this our au-
" thor Dr. Bull, as to the greater strength and va-
" lidity of the argumentative part of each others
" pieces. Yet this I conceive without the least fear
" of the charge of presumption may be affirmed, that
" our author's book is wrote in a far more terse,
" poHte, and easy stile, than the others, which is
" rough, harsh, and seems to have been compos'd
" with much labour and pains. Our author vindi-
" cates himself, and all others of his ix;rsuasion,
" very ' clearly from the doctor's unjust imputation
" of their being inclined in some points towards
" popery and Socinianism ; and a learned English
" treatise of his, shortly expected from tiie press
" (which was highly commended by Dr. V\ ill. Jane
" the king's professor of di v. in his public act-lecture
" an. 1682, chiefly directed against some heterodox
" and Platonical notions concerning the trinity main-
" tained by Dr. Ralph Cudworth master of Christ's
" coll. in Cambridge,' and Hebrew professor of that
" university, in some part of his book entit. The
" Intellecttial System of' the World, &c. in opposition
" to the whole interrupted current of antiquity) will
" manifestly evidence to the world that he is very
" far from being a favourer of the Socinian doctrines.

" Truman. And as to Mr. Tombes's Animadver-
" simis on this Harmonia, he seems by giving the
" following account, to take no other notice of it
" tb.an by contempt, saying, ' in quo authoris con-
" fidentia cum inscitia, ita ccrtjire videtur, ut utra
" superior sit difficile dictu, non est quod author

" of it, and saith that the author thereof, tho' he
" professes himself a priest of the church of Eng-
" land, yet he is more addicted to the jxinlificians,
" remonstrants and Socinians, than to the orthodox
" party. The said Harmonia was wrote by its
" author when he was but 27 years old, as 1 liave
" before told you, but he did not publish it till
" some years after, within which time he often ex-
" amined it very strictly. The book he dedicated
" to Dr. Nicolson bishop of Gloucester, and in the
" epistle he saith, that ' whilst it was but in writing,
" it was submitted to his perusal, and that he upon
" his delilierate reading each part approved and
" commended it.' W hich saying ot our author
" being question'd, as to its truth, by Mr. Truman
" before-niention'd, in the very close of his aforesaid
" book against him, our author in the 118th page
" of his Apologia checks his rashness severely for
" entertaining so unjust and uncharitable suspicion
" of him as to this, and then not to stick to make so
*' public declaration of it concerning a person lying
" under no ill report or fame. Our author Dr. ]3ull
" hath also written,

"GIDEON HARVEY, bom in Surrey, at-
tained to tile Latin and Greek tongues in the Low
Countries, became a commoner of Exeter coll. tlie
23d of May 1655, where he studied philosophy
for some time under the tuition of a noted tutor.
Afterwards he went tcj Leyden in Holland, and
there had one collegium theoreticum and two col-
legia practica under professor Vander Linden,
two collegia anatomica under professor Van Home,
and one collegium botanicum under professor
Vorstius. He was also instructed there in the
chymical art by a Gei-man, and learned there also
the practical part of surgery and the trade of an
apotliecary. After this he passed into France to
improve himself by visiting the sick of the cha-
rity hospital every day for some months together.
Thence he made the petit tour, and in his way he
took the degrees in physic, and pa-ssed also a
course of chymistry with monsieur Bartlet. From
France he returned to Holland, where he was
admitted fellow of the coll. of physicians at the
Hague, as it appears by their diispensatory in
print, being then physician in ord. to King Charles
II. in his exile. After some months he returned
to London, whence he was sent in the latter end
of July 1659 with a commission to Flanders to
be physician (or doctor-general as they commonly
phrase it) to the English army there, where he
continued till he was tired of that employment,
and then took his course for Italy thro' Germany,
passed away some time at Padua, Bolonia and
Rome: and having seen the other chief cities,
came back thro' Switzerland and so down the Rhine
to Colen. Thence into Holland and soon after
into England, where he continued with success in
his practice, became physician in ord. to his maj.
and took all occasions to carp at the coll. of phy-
sicians, endeavouring by all means possible to ex-
jx)se the practice of several of the most eminent
physicians thereof. After king Will. III. came
to the crown he was made physician of the Tower.
He liv'd in S, Dunstan's-court in Fleet-street in
1670, and in Hatton-garden in 1675. He hath
written,
" Psycheologia : or, a Book of Souls In-

' tended by the author to be put in the second part

" GEORGE TREBY was born at or near
" Plyinpton in Devonshire, admitted a com. of
" Exeter coU. the 8th of June 1660, aged 16 or
" thercaljouts, and in the latter end of Aug. follow-
" ing he tran.slated himself to the fellow's table, that
" is to the table of fellow or superior-commoner,
" being then, as before, pupil to Mr. Will. Paynter
" alias Cambourne. But before he had taken a dc-
" gree he retired to the Middle Temple, became
" barrester, and resorted to by clients for his emi-
" nent knowledge in the common laws of England.
" In the year 1679, he being chose burgess for
" Plympton in Devonshire, to serve in that parlia-
" ment which began at Westminster on the 17th of
" Octob. (as he had been before, I suppose, for that
" which began on the 6th of Mar. 1678) he was ap-
" pointed chsurman for the committee of secrecy
" relating to the farther discovery of the popish
" plot, and in the year following (1680) in the latter
" end of Nov. he was appointed one of the ma-
" nagers of the evidence against VVilHam viscount
" Stafford, who, a little liefore, had been impeached
" of high treason by the house of commons, for be-
" ing ingaged in tlie said plot. In Dec. following,
" when sir Geo. Jeffreys was put out of liis re-
" cordership of London, for having before been a
" stickler against petitions to the king for the sitting
*' of the parliament, he was by the majority of the
" citizens elected into his place, and about the £Oth
" of Jan. following his raaj. was pleased to confer
" the honour of knighthood upon him. In Feb.
" following that, he was chose burgess for Plympton
" beforemention''d to sit in that parliament which
" began at Oxon, the 21st of Mar. 1680, and in the
" beginning of Oct. 1683, when then the scales
" were turu'd by the eruption of the presbyterian
" or fanatical plot, he was discharg'a of his re-
" cordership. In Dec. or Jan. 1688, the prince of
"'Orange being then declared king, he was restored
" to his recordership, and about the same time was
" elected burgess tor Plympton to serve in that
" parliament which was summoned by the said
" prince to meet at Westm. on the 22d of Jan. the
" same year. In the beginning of March following
" (1688) he was made solicitor-general, Hen. Pol-
" lexfen esq; being at the same time made attomey-
" general; and in the beginning of May 1689, at
" which time the said Pollexfen (then a knight) was
" advanced to the lord chief justiceship of the com-
" mon pleas, he was made attorney -general ; and in
" his place of solicitor-general was at the same time
" put Job. Somers, esq. sometime a gent. com. of
" Trin. coll. In April 1692, he with others being

" called to the degree of scrjeant at law, were sworn
" at the chancery-bar on the 27th of the said
" month, and on the 2d of May following he was
*• sworn before the commis.sioners of the great seal
" lord ch. just, of the common-pleas ; about which
" time he resigned his recordership of the city of
" London. At the same time also sir Job. Somers
" was sworn attorney-general, and Tho. Trevor esq;

"WILLIAM TROUGHTON, who writes
" himself of Westmorejand, as having been born in
" that county, was bred a scholar in Oxon as he
" used frequently to say, but in what house there,
" I cannot tell. True it is, that one Will. Trough-
" ton a Cumberland man born, son of a father of
" both his names of Wayberthwait in the said
" county, priest, was matriculated in the university

" as a member of Qu. coll. in Mich, term 1634,
" aged 20 years, but this person I cannot affirm to
" lie the same with the former, In^cause their coun-
" ties differ. After AVill. 'IVoughton had left tlie
" university without a degree, at which time he was'
" schismatically inclined, he became chaplain to
" colonel Rob. Hammond governor of the isle of
" Wight, iin. 1647, and having occasion to be in
" the presence-chamber while his majesty king
" Charles I. was a prisoner in Carisbrook Castle,
" the king would enter into disputation with him,
" and he also with great confidence would answer
" his majesty, as I have elsewhere ' told you. In
" 1651, I find Will. Troughton to be minister of
" Onlipp alias Wanlipp in 1 Leicestershire, and soon
" after minister of S. Martin's church in the city of
" Salisbury, where the tradition is among the an-
" tients, that he had been by trade a glover, and by
" profession a notorious independent ; and that
" oeing a zealous brother for the cause, he shew'a
" himself very forward in suppressing tlie insurrec-
" tion of the generous cavaliers, when they rose to
" deliver their enslaved country from bondage under
" the conduct of the truly valiant and noble colonel
" sir Joseph Wagstaff, col. Joh. Penruddock, Mr.
" Hugh Grove, col. Rich. Bowie, maj. Henry
" Clark, &c. on the 11th of March 1654; and at
" that time, and after, became a bitter enemy in his
" canting prayers, preachings and discourses against
" the exifd king's ro3'al cause, malignants, as he,
" call'd them, and every thing that made for loyalty,
" or the church of England. After the restoration
" of his maj. king Charles II. he was silenced and
" put to trouble by some of the generous royalists
" of Salisbury (of which matter is a pitiful and silly
" story in the first vol. of Annus Mirabilis, which
" was published in the beginning of Aug. 1661. p.

" SAMUEL ANELEY, or as lie lately wrote
" himself An NESLEY, son of Joh. Aneluy of Hase-
" ley ill Warwickshire, was born (as the niatric*
" book of the university tells us) in that county,
" admitted a student in Qu. coll. in Mich, term
" 1635, aged 15 years or thereabouts. At which
" time being put under the tuition of Mr. Tho.
" Lough, lie seldom or never drank any beer,
" only water, and with much ado (being naturally
" dull, yet industrious) got to be bach, of arts, not-
" withstanding he that presented him to that degree
" (who did swear that he knew him to be aptus,
" habilis & idoneus) did take a hard oath for him.
£9671 " Afterwards he left the university without com-
" pleating that degree by determination, an. 16'J9,
" took holy orders from a bishop," fell in with tiie
" rebellious times, preached long and loud, and at
" length getting the rich living of Cliffe in Kent
" (which belonged to an honest man, Dr. GrifF.
" Higges, ejected thence ') worth 3001. per an. was
" actually created doctor of tiie civil law, in one of
" the Pembrochian creations, an. 1648. and the
" reason why he had that degree confer d on him,
" was because the aforesaid living is a peculiar, and
" hath a great jurisdiction belonging to the incum-
" bent, who is to keep a court there several times in
" an year relating to testaments, marriages, &c.
" When he was created doctor, his contemporaries
" in Qu. coll. looked upon that act as the most
" scandalous thing in nature, because they knew
" very well that he knew nothing of the law. Nay,
" some of the gravest fellows there (particularly Dr.
" Barlow) have said it divers times in my hearing,
" when I was composing Hist. 4" Antiq. Univ.
" Oxon. that if the said Sam. Aneley could then
" have told the meaning or definition of Pandectw,
" he should have freely had their votes to go out
" doctor of law. But so it was, that for his money,
" and favour of those in authority, he had that de-
" gree confer'd on him, as others then had degrees
" in other faculties that knew little or nothing of
" learning, to the great disgrace of the university.
" On the 26th of Jul. in the same year (1648) he
" preached a sermon before the house of com. in S.

' [Calamy says that Aniiesley's predecessor was one
' who>e life and conversation was notoriously scandalous,'
»ipon which Dr. Walker remarks that if Dr. Griffith Hiags
be the person, the assertion is a vile and detestable calumny.
Calamy took his account from Dr. Williams' sermon at An-
nesley's funeral, and is willing to suppose that the person
whom AiMie>Iey succeeded was not Higgs, but some other
incumbent, and that Williams's censure may be just. It is
however certain that Griffith Higgs was the ejected person,
and that Annesley came to Clifl" upon his ejection, so that
the calumnj rests with Dr. Williams.^

upon it was ordered by the same house that

preacher of the wortl in the cliurcli of S. John

approbation and admission of ministers of the
gospel after the presbvterian mode ; but that act
soon after vanished when his majesty king Charles
II. was restored. After the act of conformity
was published in 1662, he refused to conform and
thereupon lost his spiritualities, turned a j)reacher
in conventicles, and carried on that trade to almost
the time of his death. He published

• [In bishop Tanner's copy of the Athens is ihe follow-
ing account ofTillotson in Wood's own hand-wriiing, and
composed in his very worst hmnour. It is sullicienily cu-
rious to preserve in this place ; nor at this time, when 1 illot-
ion's character is so well established, can there be any suf-
ficient reason for its suppression.

Dr. Joh. Tillotson, of whome, by ihe way I desire that
the reader know these things following. He was borne at
Wakefield in Yorkshire, an. l62g, and educated in grammar-
learning in those parts. In 1645 he became a student in
Clare hall in Cambridge, being then or soon after, put under
the tuition of a noted presbyterian called David Clarkson,
who after his majesties' resioraiion became a zealous non-
conformist, and was living in Lancashire in 1082. During
the time he was undergraduat he had his education moslly
and conver^alion under, and with, presbytcrians and inde-
pendents, look the covenant, and was esteemed a prelioiis
young man, and of great hopes of doing good and honour for
and to the blessed cause. When he had spent near 4 yeares
there, he took the degree of bach, of aris at midsomer to
qualifie him for a fellowship, which he obtained liy a mon-
(talc from the rump parliament, il being the same fellowship,
as I have been informed, from whence the most loyal Dr.
Pet. Gunning had been ejected fir not taking the covenant.
While he was hach. of arts he was very magisterial in the
government of the house over his equalls and undergraduats,
and was looked upon as the chief of that party, which by
distinction were called ' new fellowes." One instance of his
spite against the old fellowes, was that he lam] cred with the
' sizers to put iheir hands to some articles dravvne up by him-

self against some of the loyallists among them, in order to
eject them from their fellowships, particularly against one
Mr. Pe;ile &c. 1 have been informed by one of his contem-
poraries * of that hall, that upon the thanks-civing day for
Cromwell's victory at Worcester, an. iGsi, Tillotson then
being bach., Clare fellow, and a great leading and forward
man, among the zealots for the blessed cause in that house,
to take great care in ordering that lo the hall-grace, which
related to the giving of thanks for benefactors, should be
added a clause to this cfl'cci ; ' that thanks be given for the
late victory obtained by his excellency Oliver Ciomwell ge-
neralissimo of the parliament forces against Charles Steunrt
at Worcester fight.' About that time he took the enuage-
ment, and when master of arts, he was perpetual bursar,
and took upon him the government of the house with great
conceit, and was the occasion of keeping alwaies one or more
fellowships void, pretending to pay the debts of the said
house, but ran it farther in. Afterwards being esteemed
abroad a beloved brother for the cause, he was pitched upon
by Edm. Prideaux attorney general under prince Oliver to be
tutor or guid to his son, who was in the yeare l()82 a fnclions
gentleman living neare TautitonDeanc in Sonierfetshirc.
During his attendance on Pri.lcaux, or soon after. Dr. John
Hewitt preacher at S. Gregnries church neare S. Paules
caihed. in London was beheaded for conspiring against the
then power and authority, in the beginning of June l658;
whereupon this person Mr. Tillotson who was esteemed by
the godly party as a fit man to succeed him was cried np by
that party, and who should be the most forward of then to
do il but Sam. Gellibrand, a bookseller living in S. P.ml's
church.yard, a most notorious schismalick of that time.
But so it was, that the matter being ill resented by the loyal
drapers living in the said )'ard, Mr. Tillotson, after one or

" considerable preferments. Our author Ant'lev
" hath collected also and published The Supph-

Iwo month's attendance, thought it fit in prudence lo gi\e
up the place. At that time he was a preacher here and there
in London, and in May ifisg I find hini otie of the godly
ministers who held forth in the mornins; exercise at S. Giles
in ihe fields, neare London, as one of his sermons made ex-
tant shew. See in the fourth volume of Athkn* Oxok.
col. 13A in Tho. Lye. About that lime he was a curat in
an obscure village in Hertfordshire, as my informer tells nic,
but after the restoration of king Charles 2 he retired to Lon-
don, and was one of the godly ministers who held forth at
Crippleg.ite in the morning exercise there, and one of his
sermons which he then preached on Mailh. 7. 12, was pub-
lished among other sermons ptcaihed ibere, by Dr. Sani.
Aneley, all which bcare this title The Morning Kxercise at
Cripplegate or several Cans oj Conscience praclicnltij resolved
hij sundry Ministers, printed at Lond. 100 1, in 4to. In
lti62 tiie act of uniformity came out, and therefore he being
silenced, he continued a nonconformist for some lime, and
preached frequently in conventicles. In one of his fermons,
which was very se.cre aaainst conformity, he had this pas-
sage (as Mr. George Gifi'ord minister of S. Dunstaiis in the
East usually reported) viz. ' that conformists wore white
surplices but had black soules' itc. About that time he was
about to quilt the ministry, and betake hiinself to a lay em-
ployment, but so it fell out, that he and several other godly
divines called the saints, holding a consultation in order for
conforming. Dr. Seih Ward was piiched upon as the only fit
man to satisfie them in iheir scruples of conscience relating
thereunto : who, after some pause on the mailer, did it with
this evasion, ' that they might lawfully do it, because the
sense of the act of conformily extended no farther than to a
personal eoinplyance without their being any wayes obliged
to press conformity on others' ftc. Upon ihis Mr. Tillotson
tacked about, expressed himself a conformist, took the oathes
as a loyal minister, whereby the former oathes that he had
taken became as almanacks out of dale. Much about that
time Mr. Sam. Fairclough somiimes of Queens coll. in Cam-
bridge a great and noted nonconformist was removed from
the rectory of Ketton in Suffolk worth 200/. per an. for
nonconformity. Mr. Fairclough desired his parishioners,
who were greatly desirous of his continuance with them,
being now about to leave them, lo joyne wiih their patron
(Sir Sam. Barnardiston a great separatist) and himself, in
setlling some lime apart to seek God, that he would send
another pastor, one after his own heart, which they did, and
Mr. Fairclough did also in private give himself earnestly lo
beg of God that he might have such a successor as that he
himself might not be wanted. Indeed upon Ihe removal of
so eminent a person, it could he no easie ihing for the patron
to provide a man who might beare any proportion to him
who had left them. An universall search in both the uni-
versities, and in the city and country was made for a man
that might rise in his place, and might tread in his steps.
At length this rev. and learned Mr. Tillotson was recom-
mended to the patron, as a person of great worth and abili-
ties, a man of a moderate and candid and of a large and ge-
nerous temper : To him therefore was the presentation given,
whereby much of the loss was repaired ; it being also no
small ease to the heart of their former minister thai a man of
that worth did succeed him. What coniiiniance Mr. Tillot-
son made there I know not, sure I am that he was lecturer
of S. Laurence church in the Jewry, while Dr. VVilkins was

minister there, whose wife's daughter named French,

dan. of Dr. Pet. French by Robina his wife, sister to Oliver
Cromwell, sometimes lord protector, he took lo wife, and
had several children by her. Afterwards wee find Mr. Til-
lotson preacher to the societie of Lincoln's inne, in which
employment he continued several yeares, became doctor of
Hiv. and one of the chaplavnes in ord. to king Charles 2.
While he continued preacher there, he wa? one of Dr. Joh.

" ment to the Morning Exercise at Cripplegate,
" with an epist. of his writing before it. The first

Wilkins's club for a comprehension and limited indulgence
for dissenters in religion, schismatically managed against the
canons of the church, as being done without their diocesan
or metropolitan. This club l)eing generally knowne among
the clergie of London, the diocesan and melrapolitan did
admonish Wilkins and Tillolson of it : notwithstanding
which, after Wilkins's death, Tillotson and others, namely
Dr. Will. Bates, Mr. Rich. Baxter and other non-con-
furmists did renew the same designe, and their place of
meeting was in the chamber of that great trimmer and lati-
tudinarian Dr. Hezekiah Burton in Essex house, without
Temple barr, being then the habitation of sir Orl. Bridg-
man, to whonie Burton was chaplayne then, and while he
was lord keeper. This modell of comprehension which was
by them drawn up is mention'd in one of the pamphlets
which Mr. Baxter afterwards published. On the 14 of Nov.
1672 this Dr. Tillolson who had wound himself into great
favour at the court, by his florid behaviour and pretended
moderation, was installed deane of Canterbury (in the place
of Dr. Tho. Turner deceased) on the 14 of Nov. 1672, while
antient and true hearted loyallists, who had lost all they had
for his majestie's cause, and sometimes blood also and libertie,
were contented with scraps or very meane preferment : and
about that time became fellow of the royal society. In 1677
he was made canon resident of .S. Pauls cathedral, in the
room of Dr. Edw. Stillingfleet, made deane thereof, and in
the next yeare the popish plot breaking out, he did in the
heat thereof take upon him on his owne private account 10
pull down the Glory and Jesus motto over the altar in the
choire at Canterbury, which had been set up after the re-
storation of king Charles 2 by Dr. Tho. Pierce, Dr. P. Gun-
ning and other of the loyal canons ; and this he did to ingra-
tial himself with the vulgar, who thereupon cried him up for
a great reformer of scandal and superstition. The chapter
had made a vote that the whole sept should be taken downe
and a richer set up in the room ; upon which this deane Til-
lotson look it for an advantage and pretended to lake downe
the glory and inscription without any other alteration. There
is a statute belonging to the church of Canterbury which does
oblige by oath the dean and every canon at their admission to
bow low and reverently at their comming in and going out
of the choire ; but when the said plot broke out and the fac-
tions partly thereupon endeavoured to turne the scales of go-
vernment in the prosecution and aggrcvation thereof. Dr.
Tillolson to jilease the faction, and so consequently keep his
place, if the times had turned, did not at all bow at his com-
ming in and going out, but rather bend backwards, as in
contempt, meerly as the then canons and others of the choire
supposed to oblige the phauaticks, whom he alwaies favoured
on every opportuniiy. In Sept. 1689 ('he prince of Aurange
being then in the throne) he became deane of S. Panics ca-
thedral upon the promotion of Dr. Slillingfleel to the see of
Worcester, afterwards clerk of the king's closet, and at length
archbishop of Canterbury, (to which see be was consecrated
in the church of S. Marie- le-Bow on the 31 of May 1691)
upon the deprivation of the most conscientious and religious
archprelate Will. Bancroft D. D. who afterwards lived two
or more yeares in a most retired and devout condition, being
then esteemed by the non-jurors and others too a most holy
confessor. Dr. Tillotson died at Lambeth of the dead p.ilsey
at about 3 of the clock in the afternoon of the 22 of Nov.
1694, and was buried on the 30 of the same month in the
chancel of the church of S. Lawrence in the Jewry in Lon-
don, at which time preached his funeral sermon Gilbert lord
bishop of Salisbury, which being made public you may see
much at the latter end thereof of the great worth of him the
said Dr. Tillotson, who havin^ in his life time published
many books and sermons, I snould here set downe their
lilies, but being too many for this place, I shal now pass
them by.]

[Dr. Annesley died in the 77th year of his age,
December 31, 1696. His funeral sermon was
preached by Dr. Daniel Williams, who printed it,
with some account of his life and character. De Foe
also wrote a character of him which is printed in
the collection of that author's works. It should
be recorded to his credit, that of all gifts, sa-
laries and incomes whatever, Annesley always laid
aside the tenths for charity, before any part was
spent.

Dr. Annesley had a very large family ; Dr. Man-
ton baptizing one of his children, enquired how
many he had, to which he replied, that he believed
it was two dozen, or a quarter of a hundred. Dun-
ton, the bookseller, married one of his daughters,
Elizabeth, who died in 1697.]

" HENRY COMPTON, a younger son of
" Spencer earl of Northampton, descended from an
" antient and noble family living at Compton Vineat,
" commonly called Compton in the hole near Brailes
" in Warwickshire, was, as I have been informed,
" born there, became a nobleman of Queen's coll.
" an. 1649 or thereabouts, where continuing about
" 3 years, retired and liv'd with his mother at Gryn-
" don in Northamptonshire. Afterwards he tra-
" veiled beyond the seas, and at his return, which
" was after the restoration of king Charles II. he
" became a comet in the royal regiment under the
" command of Aubrey earl of Oxford. At length
" being persuaded to take holy orders, which was
" the readiest way to preferment for the younger
" sons of noblemen, he went to Cambridge, where
" he was actually created master of arts. After-
" wards entring into orders, and obtaining a grant
" of the next canonry of Ch. Ch. in Oxon, he re-
" tired again to this university in the beginning of
" the year 1666, and entring himself a canon-com-
'' moner of the said house, by the advice of Dr.
" Joh. Fell the dean thereof, -was in Apr. the same
" year incorporated in this university m the same
" degree, and in the year following he was upon
" the death of Dr. Will. Lewis made master of the
" ho.spital of S. Cross near Winchester. On the
" 24tn of May 1669 he was installed canon of Ch.
" Ch. in the place of Dr. Rich. Heylin deceased,

" Crew to Durham, and on the 6th of Decemb. fol-

" the same month.' This translation was much
" promoted by some of the politic clergy, because
" they knew liim to be a bold man, an enemy to
" the papists, and one tliat would act and speak
'' what they would put him upon, which they thera-
" selves would not be seen in, as many prime papists
" used to say. On the 22d of Januar. following
" (1675) he was sworn one of the lords of his ma-
" iesty's priv\'-council, and continued in good repute
" in that office till the death of king Charles II.
" But when king James II. came to the crown he
" was dismist, for having before and then, Iwhaved
" himself cross to him, as also from the deanery of
" the royal chappel, on the 16th of Decemb. 1G85.
" On the 6th of^Sept. 1686 he was suspended ab
" officio episcopi by the ecclesiastical commissioners
" lately app<Vmted by his majesty, because he did
" not, when commanded, suspend Dr. Joh. Sharji
" minister of S. Giles's in the fields near London,
" for preaching against his majesty's declaration,
" and soon after were three bishops, viz. Durham,
" Rochester, and Peterborough, commissioned to
'' officiate in the spirituahties of the diocese of Lon-
" don. On the 23d of Sept. 1688, the prince of
" Orange being about to make his expedition into
" England, he was released from his suspension, and
" when he was landed, he threw off his episcopalia
" and shew'd himself very active in the habit of a
" commander, till that prmce came to Whitehall to
" take possession of the throne. On the 14th of
" Feb. or thereabouts, 1688, he was made privy
" councellor to the said prince, then king, by the
" name of William III. and in the beginning of
" Sept. 1689 he was impowred to act as archb. of
" Canterbury, because the then archb. refused to
" take the oath of allegiance to the said king. About
" the 21st of Nov. following he was elected prolo-
" cutor for the upper house of convocation of the
" clergy, to take into their consideration the altcra-
" tion of common prayer in favour of the dissenters,
" and expressed himself forward enougli in that

" Add. a minister of Gotl's word, was born at Maul-

" in the county of Westmorland, received his last
" preparations for tiie university in the grammar
" school at Appleby in the same county, sent by his
" relations to Qu. coll. in 1660, where he became a
" poor child, then tabarder, and when master of
/' arts was made choice of to be one of the terrae
" filii for the act that was celebrated in 1658, but

his speech reflecting much on the then saints in
the university, he was brought upon his knees
and made his submission and recantation for what
he had said. Soon after he left the university
and lived near Petworth in Sussex, where he con-
tinued till the restoration of his maj. king Charles
II. Dr. Hen. King, who was at that time bishop
of Chichester, Ixsing made sensible by the gentry
of Sussex, how serviceable he had l)een among
them (by a constant inculcation of loyal prin-
ciples, when there was no small danger to own
them^ took him into his care, and would have
certamly conferred upon him preferment, had he
' not been invited from him to go in the quality of
a chaplain to Dunkirk, an employment he ac-
cepted of contrary to the sentiments of that worthy
prelate. He stayed at Dunkirk till it was given
up to the French by the English, an. 16o2, or
thereabouts, and from thence coming into Eng-
land he was presently solicited to go for Tangier,
and accordingly gomg, he staid there several

f rears, being unwilling to leave that place till he
lad perfectly settled the affairs of the church, and
provided for the security of the protestant reli-
gion, and put the management thereof in snch an
easy and safe method, as any might be able to
mamtain, what he had so well established. About
the beginning of the year 1670 he came for Eng-
land, with full purpose to return again to Tan-
gier ; but things were so contrived at home, that
another being put into his place, he r\as disap-
pointed of returning, and had beeri thereby wholly
frustrated of a livelihood, had not a worthy knight,
acquainted with his circumstances, bestowed upon
him the small rectory of Mileston near to Ames-
bury in Wiltshire ; whither he presently retired,
and betook himself to a studious life. After-
wards he became preb. of Minor pars Altaris in
the church of Sahsbury in ^le place of Marma-
duke Good deceased, chaplain in ord. tci his ma-
jesty, and in 1675 he took both the degrees in
divinity. In 1683, he being then, a.* I cortfeive,
archdeacon of Coventry, the commissioners ap-
pointed for ecclesiastical affairs, did upori the
death of Dr. M. Smalwood grant the tieanery of
Lichfield to him, in consideration of his fbrttier

whether there can be made out from the natural
or revealed law of God any succession to crowns
by divine right ? The third is, whether resistance
of the supream jwwers by a whole nation, or
people, in cases of the last extremity can be justi-
fied by the law of nature, or rules of the gospel .''
The fourth is, whether absolute non-resistance of
the supream powers be enjoyned by the doctrine
of the gospel, and was the ancient practice of the
primitive church, and the constant doctrine of
our reformed church of England .-' The fifth is,
whether the king be the sole supream legislative

of the government, or else proceeded from the
favour and concession of former kings .■* The

discourse concerning the antiquity of the commons
in parliament, wherein the best authorities for it
are proposed and examined, with an entrance

(1) whether by the antient laws of this kingdom,
as well as by the statutes of the 13th and 14th of
king Charles II. all the resistance of the king, or
of those commissioned by him are expresly forbid,
upon any pretence whatsoever? (2) Whether
all those wno assisted his present majesty king
William III. either before or after his coming
over into England, are guilty of the breach of
this law.-* The tenth, which came out in 1693, is
on these questions, (1) Whether a king of Eng-
land can ever fall from, or forfeit his royal dignity
for any breach of an original contract, or wilful
violation of the fundamental laws of the king-
dom.? (2) Whether king Wilham (commonly
stUed the conqueror) did by the conquest acquire
such an absolute unconditioned right to the crown
of this realm, for himself and his heirs, as can
never be lawfully resisted; or forfeited by any
male-administration or tyranny whatsoever ? The
eleventh dialogue, which was published in 1694,
is on these three questions, (I) In what sense all
civil power is derived from God, and in what

" sense may be also from the people ? (2) Whe-
" ther his present majesty king William, when
" prince of Orange, had a just cause of war against
" king James \\.? (.3) Whether the proceedings
" of his present majesty, before he wa.s king, as also
" of the late convention, in respect of the said king
" James, is justifiable by the law of nations, and
" the constitution of government ? The twelfth dia-
" Wue, which came out about the beginning of
" 1d94, is on these following questions, (1) Whe-
" ther the vote of the late convention, wherein they
" declared the throne to be vacant, can be justified
" from the ancient constitution and customs of this
" kingdom ? (2) Whether the said convention de-
" clanng king William and queen Mary to be law-
" ful and rightful king and queen of England, may
" be justified by the said constitution ? (3) Whe-
" ther the act passed in the said convention after it
" became a parliament, whereby Roman catholic
" princes are debarred from succeeding to the crown,
" was according to law It The thirteenth and last
" dialogue, which came out also about the begin-
" ning of 1694, is on these following questions, (1)
" Whether an oath of allegiance may he taken to a
" king or queen, de facto, or for the time being .'
" (2) What is the obligation of such an oath, whe-
" ther to an actual defence of their title against all
" persons whatsoever, or else to a bare submission
" to their power. (3) Whether the bishops who
" refused to take the oath of allegiance to their pre-
" sent majesties, cxjuld be lawfully deprived of their

HYDE.

[974]

in Cheshire, was born at Bilhiigsley (of which his
father was then minister) four miles distant from
Bridgnorth in Shropshire, on the 29th of June
1636, who, from his youth, having had a natural
inchnation to the E:istern languages, did begin to
study them under his father, and afterwanls in
the year 1652 being admitted a student in King's
coll. in Cambridge he there met with tiie famous
Abra. Wheelock, who being a most admired lin-
guist did encourage and promote him in his
Orientalian studies. After he had continued a
little more than a year in that college, Mr. Whee-
lock conveyed him to London, made him one of
the correctors of the Polyglot Bible, then about
to be published by the learned Dr. Brian Walton
afterwards bishop of Chester, he being the sole
cause and contriver of setting forth that excellent
work. Besides Mr. Hyde's attendance in the
correction of it, he set forth the Persian Penta-
teuch, as I shall tell you anon, and was helping
in correcting the Arabic, Syriac, and Samaritan
languages therein, and in collating various exem-
plars, as it is mention'd in the preface of the said
work. In 1658 Mr. Hyde went to Oxon, and
was admitted a student in Qu. coll. where he was
soon after made Hebrew reader, which he yet
(1694) keeps. In the beginning of Apr. 1659
die chancellor of the university (Rich. Cromwell)
sent his letters to the members thereof in his be-
half, which say that he is of full standing since his
admission into the university of Cambridge, for
the degree of roaster of arts, that he hath given
public testimony of his more than ordinary abili-
ties and learning in the Oriental languages, &c.
Whereupon the delegates of the said university
ordered on the 12th of the same montli that he
should accumulate the degree of master of arts by
reading only a lecture in some of those languages,
and that he have such fees remitted to him as be-
long to the university, &c. which order being con-
lirnrd by the convocation on the same day, he
was admitted master the next, and soon after was
made second keeper of the Bodleian library in the
place of Hen. Stubbe ejected. In Dec. 1665 he
was by the suffrages of the d(x;tors and masters
elected head keeper of the said library on the re-
signation of Dr. Tho. Lockey, and in Oct. the
next year was collated to the prebend of Yatmin-
ster secunda in the church of Salisbury on the
death of Dr. Joh. Wall. On the 14th of Dec.
1678, he had the archdeaconry of Glocester (void
by the death of John Gregory) confer'd on him
by Prichett bishop of that place (whose wife was
nearly related to the first wife of Hyde) and on
the 3d of Apr. 1682 he was admitted Dr. of div.
On the 22d of Dec. 1691 he was elected Arabic
professor on the death of Dr. Edw. Pocock. The
first of his lalxiurs that were published in print,
was the part which he bore in the Polyglot Bible,
printed at Lond. 1657: wherein he transcribed

" the Persian Pctitateuch out of the Hebrew cha-
" racters, in which it was first printed at Constan-
" tinople, into the proper Persian characters ; which
" by archb. Usher was then judged impossible to
" have been done by a native Persian, because
" oftentimes one Hebrew letter answer'd to divers
" Persian letters, which were hard to know. The
" same he afterwards translated into Latin, which
" was very well applauded by many. What he

« EDMUND HALLEY, son of Edm. Halley
" a soap-boyler and wealthy citizen of London, was
" born in a place called Haggerston on the back-
" side of Hogsden alias Hoxton in the parish of St.
" Leonard Shoreditch in Middlesex, on the 29th of
" Octob. 16.56, educated in grammar learning in St.
" Paul's sch<x)l under Dr. Tho. Gale, where he
" perfectly learned the use of the celestial globe.
" In act or Midsunnner term 1673 he became a
" commoner of Qu. coll. having then not only good
" skill in the Lat. Gr. and Heb. tongues, but so
" much knowledge in geometry as to make a com-
" pleat dial. At 19 years of age he solved this
" useful problem in astronomy, never done before,
" viz. From three Distances given from the Sun, [982]
" and Angles betrceen, to find the Orbe. This is
" in a tract which I shall anon mention entit. Me-
" ilwdus directa 4* Geometrica, &c. for which his
" name will be ever famous. After he had spent
" some years in Qu. coll. he retired to the house of
" his father, of whom gaining leave, he took a
" journey to the island of Sancta Helena, purely
" upon the account of advancement of astronomy,
" to make the globe of the southern hemisphere
" right, which before was very erroneous, as having
" lieen done only by the observations of ignorant
" seamen. At his return thence, where he had
" staid some months, he presented his planisphere,
" with a short description, to his majesty king
" Charles II. who was very well pleased with it,
" but received nothing but praise for his reward.
" In 1678 he added a spectacle-glass to the shadow-
" vane of the lesser arch of the sea-quadrant (or
" back-staff) which is of great use, because that sjxjt
" of light will be manifest when you cannot see any
" shadow : And in Nov. the same year, having pro-
" cured letters from his majesty, to be directed to
" the vice-chancellor and masters of Oxon (wherein
" are several things said to his honour and praise,
" as I have partly elsewhere told you) he was, in
" the beginnmg of Dec. following, actually created
" master of arts. On the first of Decern b. 1680 he
" took a journey to Paris, being at that time one of
" the royal society, and in 1686 became secretary
" thereof. He hath published

" school there in the cloister, turird out by the
" visitors before he took a tlegree, lived afterwards
" at Wolverhampton in Staffordshire, taught there,

« WILLIAM HUGHES was born at Farmin-
" ton near North-Leach in Gloucestershire, his

" father Hughes being then rector of that

" place, became a batler or servitor of Line. coll.
" about 1641, and bred there under a puritanical
" tutor and discipline ; but before he took a degree,
*' he sided with the puritans or presbyterians, and
" when they broke out into an open rebellion against
" the king, he left the university, became a chaplain
" in the mrliament army, a preacher up of sedition
" and rebellion, a villiner of his majesty and his
" cause, styling him and his followers downright
" papists, bloody men, blood-suckers, &c. and was
" not wanting on all occasions and in all times to
" carry on the blessed cause. When the war was
*' terminated, he retired to Oxon for a time, was
" actually created master of arts, as a menil)€r of
" Line, college in the Pembrochian creation, an.
" 1648, and soon after was made one of the chap-
*' lains of New coll. or, as he and his son iis'd to
" say, fellow, by the power of the visitors ; which,
"I presume, is false. After he had continued there
" an year or more, he obtained for the great service
" he had done for the said cause, the rich rectory
" of Hinton near Faringdon in JJerkshire, u}X)n the
" ejection of one Hill tor his loyalty, took the en-
" gagement, (as before he had took the covenant)
" flattered Oliver the general of the parliament
" army, in his writings, (1652) and told '^ the world,
" that he had been for Christ's interest and com-
" mon-wealth under his command, justified the
" murder of king Charles I. of ever-blessed memory,
" and applauded the happiness of those times, when
" the change, as he said, was for the better, and
" that those eminent promises did hasten for ac-
*' complishment for binding kings with chains, and
" nobles with links of iron, &c. In 1654 he was,
" by ordinance of the usurping power, appointed
" one of the assistants to the connnissioncrs of Berk-
*' shire, for the ejection of those that were by the
" godly party called scandalous, ignorant, and in-
*' sufficient ministers and schoolmasters ; in which
" office he shcw'd himself sufficiently severe, if not

" carried on the presl)yterian and independent cause
" till a foresight of the happy restoration of king
" Charles II. which being effected, he was forced to
" leave his living at Hmton for the right owner.
' Afterwards he retired for a time to the factious
•' town of Abingdon in Berkshire, and did what lay
■' in his power to animate the people theret)f in their
' seditious j)rinciples. Thence he removed to Woo-
■' burne or Uburne near Great Wycomb in liuck-
■' inghamshire, where he was patronized by Philip
' lord Wharton, (who has a seat there) and lived
■' as a nonconformist, preaching in conventicles :
■' and thence, if I mistake not, to Clapham in Sur-
■' rey, which he made our English Israel ; and there
' I find him in 1670, teaching sch(K>l without
' licence : of which matter hear what a ' noted

' author saith ' There was one Tho. Hughes,

' several years since, that had a licence to teach a
' school at Clapham in Surrey, in a school-house
' that was erected by the parisli. He staid there a
' while, and then went liis M-ay: and then Mr.
' William Hughes took upon him to officiate there
' in the place of Thomas Hughes, under colour of
' his license : and so continued till Michaelmas
' term, an. 1683, appeared at visitations, as the
' schoolmaster of Clapham ; and at one visitation
' exhibited the said Thomas Hughes's license : but
' in conclusion it was made appear, that our Wil-
' liam-ap-Thomas had no license at all, and he

' himself confessed as much.' And in another*

' place the said noted author saith thus : ' Will.

' Hughes, I tell you, did personate ThomasHughes.
' He entred upon the school without a license, un-
' der that pretext before his ordination ; and he
' continued it after : And if you will not believe
' me, go to Doctors ConuT)ons, and you shall have
' his word for it,' &c. In 1677 I find him preacher
' to St. Thomas's hospital in Southwark, and after
' the year 1680 he conformed to the church of
' England, was, as it seems, re-ordain'd, or, as the
' said ^ author tells us, entred upon episcopal or-
' ders, seemed so great a convert (tho' really he
' was not so in his heart) that, as he adds, ' ■* In
' Michaelmas term 1683 he, the said Will. Hughes,
' prosecuted his namesake Tanner of Clapham for
' not coming to church, and receiving tne sacra-
' ment according to law ; and prosecutetl also Mr.
' George St. Cleer for teaching a private school in
' the said Tanner's house, without license, having
' had, it seems, the late earl of Shaftsbury to his
' friend,' &c. After his conforming he, the said
' Mr. Hughes, became hospitallier of St. Thomas's
' hospital in Southwark, where he preached like a
' trimmer several times, and therefore once in
• danger to be turn'd out thence, and afterwards

in Hart hall in 1656, and in the year after he was
admitted prob. i'ellow of New coll. where his to-
wardliness towards good letters and virtue were
observed by the seniors. Afterwards he took the
degrees in arts, holy orders, and became chaplain
to William lord Maynard comptroller of his ma-
jesty's houshold. At about three years standing
master, he was elected fellow of the coll. near

Winchester, and soon after was made cbaplain to
George bishop of that city, who preferred him to
the rectory of Brixton in the isle of Wight, af-
terwards to a prebendship in the church of Win-
chester (installed therein the 1st of June 1669)
and at length to another parsonage in Hampshire
worth alxjut two or three hundred jwunds per
an. But this last, after he had held a little while,
he resigned it into his lordship's liands, under

" many of his former auditors, su|'posing that by
" that journey he had been ting'd w ith }X)}iery, but
" altogether mistaken. In 1679 he pr<Keede<l in
" divinity, being about that time chaplain in ord.
" to his maj. went into Holland i<)r a tnne and was
" chaplain to Mary ])rince,ss of Orange, and in the
" begmning of 1684 he accompanied in the quality
" of a chaplain George lord Dartmouth to Tangier,
" being at that time conmiission'd by his majesty
" to demolish that garrison. After his return he
" was nominated by his maj. bishop of Bath and

" thereunto at Lambeth by the archbishop of Cant.
" and his assistants, on the 25th of Jan. (being the

" his homage to his majesty the next day. On the

« WALTER HARRIS, son of Walter Harris,

" within the city of Gloucester, educated in gram-
" mar learning in Wykeham's school near Win-
" Chester, admitted pei-petual fellow of New coll.
" without serving a year or years of probation, be-
" cause he was of kin to the founder thereof, an.
" 1666, aged 19 years or more, and four years after
" he took one degree in arts. But this person
" whom I always t<K)k to have an unsettled head,
" or, as we usually say, a worm in his pate, began
" to have thoughts ot changing his religion upon
" these pretended motives, (1) The lively memorials
" of popery in statues and pictures on the gates and
" in the chapel of New college. (2) His reading a
" book called A Guide in Controversies, especially
" the fifth part thereof, being a vindication of the

" council of Trent. These being his chief mo-

■" lives (tho' the first is a very poor one) he, about
" the same time that he read the Guide before-
" mention'd, received much encouragement to leave

' his college for the sake of the Roman catholic re-
' ligion that he was then bent on, from the dls-
' courses and example of Mr. Rich. Reeve, master
' of the granmiar school joining to Magd. coll.
' (whom he could never afterwards name, but with
' a particular respect, because he knew he hoA no
' manner of temporal motive to quit his all for ro-
' ligion's sake, besides the preservation of a good
' conscience) whereupon resigning his fellowship in
' Aug. 1673, went aiterwanls to Uoway and Paris,
' at the last of which places he took, as I supjKJse,
' the degree of dtKtor of physie. In 1676 lie re-
' turned into England, settled in London, and
' practised his faculty among the Roman catholic>.
' x\t length the Popish plot, calPd by some Gates
' his plot, breaking out in Sept. an. 1678, and
' thereupon all the Rom. catholics being .soon after
' banishVl London, he turned about to secure hini-
' self, took the oaths, and, as 'twas then said, the
' sacrament. Soon after, in token of this his rc-
' conciliation to the church of England, he wrote
' in January the same year

" A Farewell to Popery ; in a Letter to Dr.
' Nicholas, Vice-chancellor erf Oxford, and Warden
' of Ncxi) Coll. shexcing the true Motives that wifh-

" WILLIAM SPRIGGE, son of a father of
both his names, and younger brother to Joshua
Sprigge, mentioned in the fourth volume, col,
136, was born in or near Banbury in Oxfordshire,
made fellow of Line, college by the reconnnenda-
tions of 01. Cromwell, chancellor of the university,
on the 11th of Dec. 1652, he being then bach, of
arts. In 1655 he proceeded in that faculty, and
in 1657 Ijecame one of the first fellows of tlie col-
lege at Durham, Ibunded by the said Oliver:
But that college being annuird in 1659, he re-
tir'd to Line. coll. and being ejected thence in the
year following by the king's commissioners, he
settled for a time in Grey's inn (of which he was
then barrister) and had some reliance, relating to
his profession on James duke of York. But
soon after, being invited into Ireland, he settled
in Dublin, follow'd his profession, married, and
liv'd there till his brother Joshua died, an. 1684,
much about which time he settled at Crayford in
Kent, where, I think, he now Uves. He hath
written

licious jiersons there were, particularly Henry
Stubbe of Christ Church, that reported, that
William Sprigge was not the author of them, but
Franc. Osbournc, who died in Feb. 1658; some
of whose papers coming after his death into the
hands of the said Sprigge, his intimate acquaint-
ance, he published them therefore as his. Yet
all that knew Sprigge well, knew him to be an
ingenious man, and able to write such a book, as

" HENRY ROSE was born at Pyrton, near to
" Watlington in Oxfordshire ; became a servitor or
" poor scholar of Line. coll. in the latter end of
" 1656, took a degree in arts, and then was elected
" into the number of fellows of that house about
" 1662. Afterwards proceeding in his facidty, he
" entred into holy orders, and was made minister of
" All Saints church in Oxon. But running much
*' into debt, and marrying beneath himself, left his
" fellowship and church (being then bach, of div.)
" about 1674, retired to Lond. where he liv'd ob-
*' seurely for a time, and at length to Ireland, where
" he was living in 16 — . While he continued in
" the university he was esteem'd a gootl preacher,
" and an ingenious man, and one that much de-
" seiVd the title of virtuoso, and therefore the
" more pitied by those that knew his worth, for the
" calamity that bcfel him. He hath written

" breath, viz. in flie parish of Kirby-Wiske, in the
" north-riding of Yorkshire, in the month of June
" an. 16't2, educated in the granmiar school at
" North Allcrton in the same county, admitted a
" servitor of S. John's coll. in Apr. 1659, and soon
" after was translated to that of Magdalen, where
" continuing in the same capacity till he was bach.
" of arts., he went toMagd. hall, and, as a member
" of tliat house, he did conipleat tliat degree by de-
" termination. On the g.'Jd of May 1664 he was
" elected fellow of Line. coll. and in Dec. the year
" following he was admitted master of arts. In
" Oct. 1673 lie began a voyage beyond the seas, in
" the quality of a tutor to a young gentleman,
" whereby he much improved himself, as to the
" understanding of places, men, and manners. He
" spent 18 months in travelling to and fro in France
" and Switzerland, and was at Geneva. At Paris
" he became acquainted with Hen. Justell, who
" sent by liim, when he was aliout to return to his
*' country, the original MSS. in Greek ^ of the Ca~
" nones Ecclesite Universalis (then lately ])ut forth
" by his father Christopher) to the university of
" Oxon, as a present for the Bodleian Vatican, where

" tor of the civil law." In the month of May 1675,

' [See in the Fasti, the second voluruc, under the year
1^5, among the creations.]

our author Hickes was admitted l)achelor of div.
being alx)iit that time rector of St. Eblxj's cliurcli
in Oxon, in the place of Will. Pindar, and in
Sept. in the year following, he l)ecamc domestic
chaplain tt) John duke of Lauderdale, tiirough
the recommendation of Henry bishop of London,
and with him continued till Sept. 1680. In
June 1677, he attended the said duke into Scot-
land, during his commis.sion in that kingdom;
and while he remained there, hapned the tryal of
Mr. James Mitchel, for having attempted to mur-
der the archbishop of S. Andrews; whereupon
he wrote and publish'd a book called Rav'ulac
rcdivivus, v/Ynch occasion'd him (by some menaces
given out) to disguise himself under a feigned
name and character, to secure himself from the
murderous Scottish whiggs. During his attend-
ance there, the archbishop of S. Andrews (Dr.
Jam. Sliarpe) and other bishops, did, in comple-
ment to him, but more especially to his patron,
offer him the degree of doctor of divinity at S.
Andrews ; which his grace the duke approved so
well, that he was obliged to accept it, and accord-
ingly he sent his son-in-law and servants with him
thither, where he was dignified with that honour
in a full convocation of the doctors, professors,
and masters. About that time also, the said
archb. of S. And. did, in his own name, and in
tlie name of the church of Scotland, present to
him (as an acknowledgment of the services he did
that church) the councils in 18 volumes in fol. set
forth by Philii) Labbeus and Gabr. Cossartius at
Paris, anno 1679. In Dec. 1679 he was actually
created doct. of div. of the university of Oxon,
and on the eleventh of June 16S0 was installed
prebendary of Worcester, in the place of Mr.
Will. Thomborough deceased, bestowed upon
him by his majesty, ' for the .services he had done
the public, during the duke of Lauderdale's com-
mission in Scotland.' Soon after in the same year
he was made vicar of Allhallows Barkin, near the'
Tower of I^ondon, upon the death of Dr. Edw.'
Layfield, archdeacon of Essex, late vicar of that
place, and in Dec. (the same year also) he gave
up all right that he liad to his fellowship in Line,
coll. he being about that time made cliaplain in
ordinary to his majesty. In Aug. 1683 he wa^
made dean of Worcester in the place of Dr. W.
Thomas, bishop of S. Davids, who kept that dig-
nity in commendam with his bishopnck, till he
was translated to Worcester, and on the 13th of
Oct. following he was installed. In the latter end
of 1690, or beginning of 91, he was deprived of
his deanery, for refusing to take the oatlis of al-
legiance and supremacy to king William III. and
queen Mary, so that retiring to London, he liv'd
privately there, and near it. He is a person much
conversant in the fathers, councils and other an-

ness dilicently searched and ransacked, if not all,
yet at least the chiefcst and most considerable
lx)th old and modern authors of the sectarian
party, in order throughly to inform himself of the
true design, genuine Dent and tendency, of their
more generally received principles : the result of
which accurate enquiry was, that he plainly dis-
covered some of them to clash and interfere with
the main branches of Christianity, and others di-
rectly to strike at the very foundation and root of
all peace, order and well-settled establishments:
Ana in the several representations of these, his
dealings with his adversaries have been so fair
and just, that I think they themselves cannot
complain of them, because he never chargeth upon
them any positions witliout referring the reader
to the particular places of those many treatises,
in which they are evidently avowed and abetted,
unless it should be esteemed a fault (as I know it
commonly is by some of them) openly to shew
their tenents naked and bare-fac'n, stript of all
that specious varnish and paint, with which their
authors usually gild and dress them up ; so that
by an easy glibness they might be swallowed down
the more eagerly : or unless it should be deemed
a crime, by timely cautions against, to endeavour
to prevent those dangerous consequences, the na-
tural issues and products of many of their doc-
trines, which are no less than to mvolve in con-
fusion and blood the most flourishing kingdoms,
and to lay waste with desolation and ruin the best
tempered constitution in the world. Perhaps the
maintainers of these destructive persuasions vainly
expected to have had their trayterous schemes and
projects worded in soft, gentle and tender ex-
pressions, and that they should have been com-
plimented, hug'd and caressed, for their many
rude attempts upon the government, and bar-
barous assaults made on the pubHc administra-
tions. Our author's calling faction, schism and
rebellion by their right names, incens'd Samuel
Johnson, the late author of the so much cele-
brated piece of The Life of Julian the Apostate,
&c. that he thought fit to single out, and en-
counter him above all others. But the doctor
hath, with an unquestionable clearness, laid open
his folly, ignorance, weakness, and pernitious
drifts of his traiterous scribble, in the learned
reply to it which I shall anon mention. Altho'
these are the only eminent ornaments which can
be possibly discovered, whereby to recommend it,
yet for all this its pretended worth and excellence
hath been with a vaunting noise industriously
proclaimed in defiance of all opposition, almost
throughout the whole nation, as a main prop and
impregnable bulwark of their cause, which plainly
shews what great encouragement some misguided
persons give all such good works, as the resist-
ance of lawiul authority, and lilnjlling in ridicule
and buffponry the most primitive and Christian

" practice of passive obe<lience are accounted by
" them, where or by whomsoever they are counte-
" nanc'd and pleaded for. He the said Dr. Hickes

during the times of usurpation, and had liberty
alloweil him by the delegates of the university in
Apr. 1653, to projK)se a dispensation in the ven.
convocation for the taking ot the degree of doctor
of physic (not that of law) by accumulation, con-

Iiad possessed himself with such an amiable view of Chris-
tianity, separated from either sujierstitious practices OT the
sourness of parties, that as he was fully pcrswaded of the
truth of it, he rejoiced in every dircovcty which nature fur-
nished him with to illustrate it, or in take off the objections
against any part of it. He always considered it as a .system
oT truths, which ought to purify the hearts, and govern the
lives of those, who profess it. He loved no practice which
seemed to lessen that, nor any nicety, which occasioned di-
visions amongst Cliristiaiis. He thought, that pure and dis-
interested Christianity was so bright and glorioits a system,
that he was much troubled at the disputes and divisions,
which had risen about some lesser matters, while the great
and the most important, as well as most universally acknow-
ledged truths were by all sides almost as generally neglected,
as they were confessed. He loved no narrow thoughts, no
low or superstitious opinions in religion; and therefore as
he did not shut himself within a parly, so neither did he
shut any party out from him. His zeal was lively and effec-
tual in the greatest and truest concerns of religion ; but he
avoided to enter far into the unhappy breaches, which had
long weakened as well as distracted Christianity, any other-
wise, than to have a great aversion to all those opinions and
practices, which seemed to him to destroy morality and
charity. He had a most particular zeal against all severities
and persecution upon the account of religion ; and I have
seldom, says bishop Burnet {Funeral Sermon page 27) ob-
served him to speak with more heat and indignation, than
when that came in his way. He did thoroughly agree with
the doctrines of our church, and conform to our worship;
aud he approved of the main of our constitution ; but he
much lamented some abuses, that he thought remained still
among u?. And Dr. Thomas Dent, prebendary of West-
minster, who was a particular friend of his, observes, (^Letter
lu Dr. William fFollon) that he always heard him express
his judgment and inclination to the church of England ; but
he was ."or moderation to those, who dissented from us, and
not to force tender consciences, for which he seemed to ex-
press great averseness. He had frequent conferences on this
subject with the present archbishop (Tenison), bishop of
Sarum (Burnet), but particularly the late bishop of Wor-
cester, the learned Dr. Stillingfleet, for whose depth of learn-
ing and solid judgment he had always the greatest value and
esteem. Sir Peter Pctt likewise affirms that he was pecu-
liarly warm in his expressions against persecution on account
of religion; and relates, that soon after the restoration Mr.
Boyle and he discoursing of the severities practised by the
bishops towards the puritans in the reign of king Charles I.
and of those, which were returned upon the episcopal di-
vines, during the following usurpations; and being appre-
hensive, that the restored clergy might be tempted by their
late sufl'erings to such a vindictive retaliation as would be
contrary to the true measures of Christianity and politics, they
came at list to an agreement, that it woulil tend to the public
good, to have something written and published in defence of
liberty of conscience. Mr. Boyle undertook to engage Dr.
Thomas Barlow, whose judgment in that |)oint he very Well
knew, to treat of the theological part of the question ; and
desired sir Peter to write of the political part; which the
latter consented to, on condition that Mr. Boyle would
let him read his manuscript to him before it was committed
to the press, and give him his opinion about the whole. Mr.
Boyle frankly promised this, and was willing to state the fact
of the allowance of liberty of conscience in foreign parts.

But afterwards considering that Mr. John Dury, who had
spent many years in his travels, especially in the northern
parts of Europe, when he was engaged in his scheme for re-
conciling the Lutherans and Calvinists, was capable of writ-
ing on that subject with more extent and exactness, than
himself, he prevailed upon Mr. Dury to write upon it, and
rewarded him for it, and delivered the treatise drawn by him
to sir Peter, who published it at the end of his own in l66o
(though the booksellers, according to their custom, ante-
dated in the title-page l6Cl) and inscribed both those trea-
tises with the last letters only of the writer's names. But he
did not print Dr. Barlow's discourse upon the same subject,
because as, on the one hand, it would not, how strong soever
its reasonings were, be sufficient to restrain the rigorous
measures resolved upon against the nonconformists, so, on the
other, it might expose the doctor to the resentment of his
brethren, whom he had offended by writing, just before the
restoration, a letter to Mr. John Tombes, the famous ana-
baptist, in which he had expressed some prejudice against
the practice of infant baptism, and by refusing, even after
the restoration, to retract that letter, notwithstanding he was
in danger of losing, by that refusal, his station in the un'rver-
sity of Oxford, and all his hopes of future preferment. How-

the utter ruin of the church of England by the

"* [Calamy, Ejected Minulers, i'u 124.]

presbyterians in the time of their rebellion, h6
changed his religion for that of Rome, renounced
his fellowshij) in 1644, and being taken into the
service of the most noble Edward earl of Gla-
morgan, eldest son of Henry marquess of Wor-
cester, he went Avith him into Ireland, and con-
tinued there till the royal cause declined in that
country. Afterwards he accompanied that count
in his travels into France and Germany, whereby
he improved himself much as to the knowledge
of men and various parts of learning. At length
being commended to the service of the honoural)lc
Walt. Mountague,' lord abbot of S. Martin near
Pontois, continued in his family several years in
tlie quality of a domestic steward, and was by
that person much esteemed for his learning, sin-
cere religion, and great fidelity. Afterwards re-
turning to his native country, spent several years
in Lond. in a most retired and studious condition ;
but upon the breaking out of the p)pish plot in
1678, being driven tlience by the Anolent current
of that time, he retired to Horspath before-men-
tion'd, and continued there for some time, tUl by
Joh. Nicholas * ti)e then vicechancellor of Oxon
he was seized on for a Jesuit, or at least a priest,
and by him bound to appear at the next quarterly
sessions to be held in the Guildhall in Oxon in
January 1678. But being then found to be a
meer laical papist, he was freed from his troubles,
and thereujxjn for his better quiet and security of
his person, he retired to an obscure village in
Buckinghamshire called Ickford, near to Thame
in Oxfordshire, where he lived many years in a
most obscure, retired, and devout condition. In
1687 he was restored to his fellowship of Magd.
coll. by his maj. king James II. but outed thence
after an year's enjoyment, and retired to his former
recess, where his apparel, which was formerly
gay, was then very rustical, little better than that
of a day-labourer, and his diet and lodging were
very suitable to it. In one of his letters sent to
me dated 12 Apr. 1692, he told me that ' the

E resent place of his residence is a poor thatch'd
ouse, where the roof is of the same stuff' in the
chamber where he lotlged, which he assur'd me
was never guilty of paying chimney tax. How-
ever he hop'd that all this will not make a person
neglected and despicable, who has formerly slept
in the royal palaces of France under a nxif fretted
and embossed with gold, whereas this here (at
Ickford) is doubly and trebly interweav'd only
with venerable cobwebs, which can plead nothing

" the leading men of those times for his frequent

" the act of conformity ejected him. Afterwards
" he lived in several places beyond and within the

" tinues in great respect among the chief heads of
" the presbyterians. He is a person of neat and
" polite parts, and not of that sour and unpleasant
" converse as most of his persuasion are : so mode-
" rate also and calm in those smaller matters under
" debate between the church and his party, (which
" have been fiercely discussed by some very pas-
" sionate among them) that he hath not so much as
" once in writing (Jls I know of) interested himself
" in any fruitless and too busy quarrels of this kind,
" but hath applyed himself wholly to more bcne-
" ficial and useful discourses on practical subjects,
'' iii which undertaking he hath acquitted himself
" so well (his books bemg penn'd in a fine, smooth,
" and natiu'al stile) that they are much commended
" and read by very many conformists, who generally
" have him in good esteem. But what is more re-
" markable in one of his sentiments of presbytery is,
" tliat he is a great antl strict Arminian, and hath
" been opposed in that jx)int by some of his own
" way, as to other things. He hath written

Corj). Ch. coll. by the visitors appointed by parlia-
ment in 1648, took one degree in arts in the latter
end of the year following, and then became fellow
of Magd. coll. by the same autiiority. Afterwards
being admitted to the degree of master by virtue
of a dispensation by the then delegates of the
university to quit him from certain exercises,
which by reason of some indisposition he could not
perform, he became a zealous preacher, preached
or a time at Berwick upon Tweed, and afterwards
" was made minister of one of the churches at Sand-
" wich in Kent, where he continued till 1660, at
" which time he was ejected, tho' he came in upon
" a vacancy by the death of the former incumbent.
" The reason of his ejection was, because he was
" presented to the said church by Oliver the pro-
" lector an illegal patron, which Mr. Danson could
" not help, for he having usurped the power of
" chief magistrate, he presented to that place which
" had no patron, and that was his case, the patron
" being the dean of Canterbury, who was dead, or
" at least silenced, when he came in, and there was
" no other that succeeded him till the return of king
" Charles II. Soon after his ejection he was settled
" in a town called Sibton in Suffolk, but refusing
" afterwards to conform, he was ejected thence at
" S. Bartholomew's day 1662 for nonconformity.
" Afterwards he retired to London, preached there
" for a time, and then at Abingdon in Berkshire
" after the death of Dr. Henry Langlcy (who ad-
" ministred to the brethren at and near that place
" to the time of his death an. 1679.) and especially
" for this cause, that he had married the daughter
" of Dr. Tob. Garbrand a dissenting physician of
" that town : where continuing preaching and ad--
" ministring in private houses and sometimes in the
" town-hall (not without disturbance sometimes,
" especially when the fanatical plot broke out in
" 1d83, when then he absconded) till about the
" beginning of Dec. 1692, was dismiss'd by the bre-

born in tlie parish of AUhalbws Barkin near to
the Tower ot J»ndon, admitted batler of Queen's
coll. in 1657 and soon after clerk, took the degrees
in arts as a member of tiiat house, that of master
being conferr d upon him in 1663, and in the same
year he was made master of the free-school joyn-
mg to Magd. coll. In 1666 he was made per-
)X'tual fellow of that college ; at which time iK'ing
much noted for his great skill in the oriental
tongues, he was therefore commonly called, and
the rather to distinguish him from others of his
name there. Rabbi Smith, and by some Tograi
Smith. In June 1668 he went as chaplain to sir
Dan. Harvey ambassador for Constantinople, and
in Dec. 1671 lie returned thence. In 1676 he
travelled into France, whence, after some short
stay there, returning, he became chaplain to sir
Joseph Williamson one of the secretaries of state ;
with whom living several years, and performing
a great deal of drudgery for him, was at length
by him dismiss'd without any reward. In 1619
he was designed to collate and publish the Alex-
andrian copy in S. James's library, and to have'
for his reward (as his maj. king Charles II. had
promised) a canonry of Windsor or of Westmin-
ster, but that good work came to nothing. In
1683 he proceeded in divinitj', and on the 20th
of Dec. 1684 was elected rector of Stanlakc in
the dioc. of Oxon, by the president and society of
Magd. coll. and about that time he was presented
thereunto by them, but upon a dislike of that
living he gave up all his interest therein in the
next month following. In January 1687 he had
a prebendship in the church of Heyghtbury in
Wilts confer'd on him by Dr. Tho. Pierce dfean
of Salisbury, but afterwards lost it ; and in Aug.
1688 he was depriv'd of his fellowship by Dr.
GifTord the then new popish president of Magd.
coll. because he refused to live among the new
popish fellows of that house, he l)eing then the
senior bursar thereof. In Octob. following he
was restored, but then again denying the oaths of
supremacy and allegiance to king Wilham III.

for his just dealing and loyalty had a singular
respect for him. But he being taken, with the
most noble and generous sir Rich. Graliam vise.
Pi-eston, and Edm. Elliot gent, as they were
going in a yatcht to France, in order to adhere to
the cause of king James II. in the beginning of
January 1690, they were all committed to cus-
tody. Afterwards l)eing brought to their tryal at
the sesisions-house in the Old-Bayly, Ashton was
condemn''d to dye, and accordingly he sufFer'd
death at Tyburn on the 28th day of the said
montli of January 1690, at which time he de-
livered the paper before-mention'd to the sheriff,
written by him in his own vindication. He was
buried the next day late at night, in St. Faith's
church under St. Paul's cathedral in London, and
obtained the character from many persons then
called Jacobites of a loyal martyr. The said
paper, which contains his last speech which he in-
tended to speak at Tyburn, was printed by stealth
in half a sheet in fol. in the beginning of March,
and soon after scattered about London streets in
the night-time, wherein he vindicates the virtue,
goodness, and innocency of the queen his mistress,
and the genuin birth of the prince of Wales.
About the 20th of the said month of March was

Cublished the answer to it, reported to be written
y our author Fowler, as I have before told you,

it was I know not. Qu. About the 6th or 8th of
April following was printed The second Part of
Mr. Ashtoris Speech, with a farther Vindication
of the Prince of Wales: which being esteemed
very scandalous by the men then in power, the

press to make diligent search after it. Dr. Fow-

two years after going the college-progress became
crazed by an unseasonable journey (late at night)
through certain marshes in Kent, and so continued
to his dying day, with an allowance from the col-

« NATHANIEL VINCENT, younger brother

" this vol. was born in Hcrtfi)rdshire, applied his
" muse to academical learning in Ch. Ch. in the
" beginning of 1651, where, l)efore he was master
" of arts, he gave himself up to all manner of dis-
" soluteness and extravagancies. After he had
^' taken that degree in 1657 he became one of the
" chaplains of Corj). Ch. coll. at which time some
" appearance of sobriety and religion was seen in
" him, and became exemplary in his conversation.
" Soon after he was nominated and appointed by

" college founded by him at Durham, but that
" foundation being soon after annuU'd, he returned
" to his coll. where continuing till the restoration of

" came chaplain to sir Hen. Blount of Tittenhanger
" in Hertfordshire, (his lady being then fanatically
" inclined) where continuing more than 3 years, he
" retired to London, preached in private, and at
" length had a meeting-house built for him in the
" parish of St. Mary Magd. in Southwarke, about
" 1666. In which place lie held forth and executed
" his function for several years after, unless at such
" times, when the due execution of the laws hath
" disturbed his assembly and imprisoned him, par-
" ticularly in January 1682. In the year following,
" when the presbyterian or crop-ear'a plot was dis-
" covered in June, he absconded, but at length was
" taken and imprison'd, and in 1685 being engag'd
" in Monmouth's rebellion, he concealVl himself se-
" veral months in the west, but at length being
" taken, he was conveyed thence to London in the

" youngest son of sir Robert Killigrew, knt. cham-
" berlam to the queen, was born at the manour of
" Hanworth, near Hampton-court in Middlesex,
" on the eleventh day of Feb. 1612, educated in
" grammar learning under IMr. Tho. Famab}', in
" the parish of St. Giles's Cripplegate in London,
" became a commoner of Ch. Ch. in the year 1628,

' and soon after student, and when bach, of arts,
' one of the quadragesimal collectors. In July
' 1638 he was actually create<l M. of A. being then
' alwut to travel in transmarine pafts, and entring
' afterwards into the sacred function, became a
' chaplain in the king's army, wlien his parliament
' haa raised another against him. In the beginning
' of November 1642 he was actually created doct.

• of div. and soon after, in the same year, became
' chaplain to James duke of York, and prebendary
' of the twelfth stall in the church of Westminster,

■ on the promotion of Dr. George Eglionby to the
' deanery of Canterbury. Afterwards he suffered

' for many years, as others of the orthodox and ^ "

' loyal clergy did : in requital of which he was

' made, in the firs? year of the restoration of king

' Charles II. almoner to the said duke of York,

' superintendent to the affairs of his chapel, rector

' of Wheathamsted in Hertfordshire, and in the

' year following master of the Savoy hospital within

' the liberty of Westminster. He wrote in the

' 17th year of his age, while he was a com. of Ch.

" The Conspiracy, Trag. Lond. 1638. qu. It
' was designed for an entertainment of the king
' and queen at York house, at the nuptials of the
' lady Mary Villiers, daughter of George duke of
' Buckingham, and the lord Charles Herbert, son
' of Philip earl of Pembroke : and being afterwards
' acted at the Blackfryars in London, found the
' approbation of the most excellent persons which
' were in that time. Ben. Johnson was then alive,
' who gave a testimony to this piece, even to be
' envied ; and I-ucius viscount Falkland did much
' applaud it, considering the age of the author, who
' was then, when he made it, but 17 years old, as
' before 'tis said. This impression was printed
' without the author's consent, from a false and
' imperfect transcript, the original copy being with
' the author in Italy ; so that it might rather be
' called the first design or foul draught, than a true
' copy. This occasion'd a new edition, and the
' publisher imposed ' on it a new title, that it might

■ shew as little affinity as possible, to (what he calls)
' its antitype ; styling it

1689. qu. Sec. This worthy Dr. Killigrew had a
daughter named Anne, a Grace for beauty, and a
Muse for wit, born in St. Martin's lane in Lond.
in the latter end of the times of usurpation, a
little before the restoration of king Charles II.
and christned in a private chamber, when the
offices in the common-prayer were not publicly
allowed. Afterwards Deing tenderly euucatedi,
she became most admirable in the arts of poetry
and painting. She was one of the maids of honour
to the dutchess of York ; but dyed of the small-
pox, to the unspeakable reluctancy of her rela-
tions, and all others who were acquainted with
her great virtues, in her father's lodgings within
the cloister of Westminster-abbey, on the 16th
day of June 1685, aged 25 or thereabouts, and
was buried in the chancel of St. John Baptist's
chapel in the Savoy hospital before-mention'd.
Soon after were publish'd of her composition a
book entit. Poems by Mrs. Anne Killiffrew. Ix)nd.
1686, in a large thin qu. wherein is nothing spoken
of her, which (allowing only for the poetical
dress) she was not equal to, if not superior : and
if there had not been more true history in her
praises, than compliment, her father would never
nave suffered them to pass the press. Before
them is an ode made to her pious memory and
accomplishments, by John Dryden poet laureat,
and alter it follows her epitapn engraven on her
marble tomb, which is put over her grave, be-
ginning thus : Heu ! jacet, fato victa, qua; stabat
ubique victrix foiina, ingenio, reh^one, &c.

« SILAS TITUS, son of a father of both his
names, of Bushy in Hertfordshire, gent, descended
from a family called Tito in Italy, became a com-
moner of Ch. Ch. in Lent term 1637, aged 15,
left that place after he had continued there about
3 years, and went, as I conceive, to one of the
inns of court. In the time of the grand rebellion,
when the parUament raised an army against their
king, he became a captain, and a forward man,
and when his majesty's cause declined, and he saw
wliich way the independents took, he adhered
closely to him, went with the commissioners ap-
pointed by parhament to his majesty at New
Castle, and thence to Holdenby in Northampton-
shire, where being much respected by the said
commissioners, they sent him with an express to
the parliament, in the beginning of June 1647, to
acquaint them that his majesty was seized on there

■ by cornet Joyce and his party, and carried thence

■ away : For which his service, wliich was done
' with great celerity, the parliament gave him 50
' pounds to buy him a horse. In December 1647
' he was taken into favour for a time by 01. Crom-
' well and the army, to persuade the king, then in

the isle of Wight, to consent to the 4 votes of de-
thronizing him; and after, or about that time
that the Iking was beheaded, he left the nation,
sought out the young king, and became one of
the gromes of his bed-chamber. Afterwards he
followed him into Scotland, being the only person
of the Englisii nation, except col. Rick Greaves,
another presbyterian that attended him there, (as
a certain author reports) and afterwards being at
Worcester fight, fletl with the rest after that fatal
battel, and escajied the fury of the fanatical army.
In 1657 a new light sprang up, entit. KUliiig no
Murder, &c. written by our autlior Titus, whereby
the courage of Cromwell was somewhat quell'd,
as I shall tell you anon ; and after his majesty's

' restoration, being then one of the gromes of his
bed-chamber, and a colonel, he was elected a re^
cruiting burgess for Lestwithel in Cornwall, to
serve in the parliament that begun at Westminster
8 May 1661 ; but was no pensioner in it, as
others were. In 1678, when Gates his plot broke

' out, he shew'd himself zealous in the concerns

' thereof, sided with the rout, became an enemy to
the prerogative, and in the year following did,
with the consent of his majesty, resign his grome-
ship, upon a foresight perhaps of the turn of the

' times, intended by the presbyterians and fanatics,
being then very dominant. In 1679 he was

' elected knight lor Huntingdonshire to serve in
that parliament that was to begin at Westminster
17 Oct. the same year, which did not sit till 21

■ Oct. 1680, wherein he was an enemy to the duke
' of York, and again for the same county to serve

in the parliament that began at Oxon 21 March

■ following. In the beginning of Nov. 1687 he

■ was introduced by Wiiham Penn the quaker into

• the presence of his majesty king James II. and

■ kiss'd his hand, in order to give his assistance to-
' wards the taking away of the test and penal laws,

• and in the middle of May 1688 all the rejwrt was,
' that he had finish'd a booK fit for the press, wherein
' he made it appear, that the taking away the test

• and penal laws is the greatest happiness that can
' befal the nation, and a bulwark against popery.
' On the 4th of July following he, with sir John
' Trevor master of the rolls, and Christopher Vane,
' esq; were sworn members of his majesty's ho-
' nourable privy-council, and upon the withclrawing
' of the said king in December following, he with-
' drew also. Afterwards he was chosen a burgess
' for Ludlow in Shropshire, which being questioned,
' his election was ratified, as it seems, by the com-
' mittee of elections in Jan. 1690. qu. He hath
' written

" Killing no Mwrder, &c. printed by stealth at
' London 1657. in qu. under the name of Will.

" and that most evidently, that it was not only
" lawful, but honourable to slay that tyrant. It
" was ^ esteemed a very ingenious and learned piece,
" and frighted Oliver exceedingly, who searched for
" it, as Herod did in another case, but it could not
" be discovered : and whosoever the author was,
" (which was not known till king Charles II. his
" restoration) the then royalists, and others look'd
" upon tlie book as excellent, and the author to de-
*' serve everlasting memory. It offers Oliver many
" convincing and satisfying reasons, why he should
" kill himself, and very fairly gives him his choice
" of hanging, drowning, or pistolling himself ; shews
" him the absolute necessity of it, the honour he
" would gain by it, and, in a word, uses such argu-
" ments as might have prevailed upon any body but
" a hardned rebel. At its first coming out it was
" sold for 5*. whereas if it had been licensed, and
" treated of another subject, it would have been
" sold but for 6d. Cat. 1. p. 27. and because it was

" Savile, and others. After Eleanor Quin or Guinn

" had a natural son by king Charles II. he became

« ROBERT HOOKE, son of John Hooke,
sometime curate of Freshwater in the isle of
Wight, was born there in July, and baptiz'd the
19th of the same month, an. 1635, and being
from his childhood ingeniously given, was sent to
the college school at Westminster, where, in one
week's time, he made himself master of the first
six books of Euclid, to the admiration of Mr.
Busby his master, in whose house he lodged and
dieted. He also did there, of his own accord,
learn to play 20 ■ lessons on the organ, and in-
vented thirty several ways of flying, as he and
Dr. Wilkins of Wadham coll. have reported.
About the year 1650 he was entred into Ch. Ch.
and having not been a king's scholar at West^
minster, was made one of the choristers of that
house, whose duty then in the choir was silenc'd.
While he remained there, he assisted Mr. Tho.
Willis the physician in his chymistry ; who after-
wards recommending him to Robert Boyle, esq;
then living in Oxon, he became useful to liim in
his chymical operations, read to him Euclid's
Elements, and made him to understand Des-

" cartels Philosophy. After the royal society was
" founded, he was not only made fellow, but, by
" the recommendation of the said Mr. Boyle, curator
" of the experiments of that society, which he per-
" formed with admiration. In 1663 he was, by
" the favour of the chanceUor of this university,
" nominated . (among others) to have the degree of
[1040] " master of arts to be con (err d on him, but wliether
" he was admitted or diplomated it appears not in
" the register. Afterwards he became geometry-
" professor of Gresham coll. and the first that per-
" lornied the mechanical lecture, after it had been
" founded by sir John Cutler in the said coll. Some
" time after the conflagration of London, which
" hapned in 1666, he was chosen one of the two
" surveyors, (John Oliver the glass-painter being
" the other) for the ordering and contriving the
" rebuilding it, by which he obtained a good estate.
" He contrived the building of the new Bedlam
" near London, Mountague house in the paiish of
" St. Giles's in the field, the college of physicians,
" and the theatre annexed, tlie pillar on Fish-street
" hill in Lond. and was often used in designing
" other buildings, &c. As he is a person of a pro-
" digious inventive head, so of great virtue and
" goodness : and as exceedingly well-vers'd in all
" mathematical and mechanical, so particularly in
" astronomical knowledge. But those things which
" he is to be commended for, relating to his inven-
" tion, are the pendulum watch, much more useful
" than others, and the engine for the speedy work-
" ing of division, &c. or for the speedy anci imme-
" diate finding out the divisor. In the month of

" ROBERT SOUTH was born at Hackney in

" the county of Middlesex, educated in Westmin-

" ster-sch(x)l under Mr. Busby, where he obtained

" a considerable stock of grammar and philological

" learning, but more of impudence and sauciness. [1042]

" From thence he was elected student of Ch. Ch.

" in the year 1651, and before or alwjut the time

" that he took the degree of bach, of arts, he was

" apjxiinted to do some exercise in the public and

" spacious refectory of that house, viz. to speak a

" speech upon some great and signal occasion.

" When he had prepared it and made it propor-

" tionable to the transcendency of his parts and

" abilities, he gave out to several of his acquaint-

" ance, that he intended in that speech severely to

" lash the sectaries of his house and of the univer-

" sity. This being known abroad, and the day

" wherein he was to perform what he had prepared

" being come, it occasioned a great concourse in the

" said refectory of the younger students, who were

" the gi-eatest wits, but esteemed by the sectaries

" to be of the most profligate principles, both in

" that hou.se and other houses in the university.

" To satisfy all their expectations, our author South

" came forth and address'd himself with a sufficient

" measure of confidence (whereof there was no want

" in him) to speak to this ingenious auditory : And

" indeed, the whol,e scope of his oration was (if

" you'll believe a ' rank fanatic) ' little other than

" a most blasphemous invective against godliness,

" and the most serious and conscientious professors

" of it.' But before he had proceeded far in it,

" my author tells me that ' the hand of the Lord

" was stretched out against him, and he wa-s sud-

" denly surprized with such a qualm, as did disturb

" him afterwards at Whitehall,' as I shall tell you

" anon. Whereupon being constrained abruptly

" to break off, it was so great a discomfort to him,

" that he was scarce able to bear it, because first

" that he esteemed himself a person of great fame

" in the university, and secondly that it would be

" a great disparagement to him among the wits of

" his acquaintance. However this influence it had

" upon him, as it was observed by some persons

" then living in the university, that * ' from that

" time he lay under some convictions of the evil of

" abusing those good parts which God had given

" him, in defaming those persons and things which

" the Lord doth testify his greatest approbation

" of:' and so from thenceforward he seemed to be

" much more serious than before, and by degrees

" insinuated himself into the good opinion of the

" then present dean of his house, Dr. Owen, as also

" with those of the presbyterian and independent

" party thereof. In 1657 he proceeded in arts, be-

" came a chief and eminent member of that society.

" preached fVcquentlv (I think without any orders)
" and as he had opportunity lie tiisplayed his parts
" to the utmost, ni defence l)oth of the doctrinal
" and practical part of religion, and tliat too ac-
" cording to tiie strictest notion of lM)th of them.
" In iiis public sermons at S. Mary's (the university
" church) he still a])jx'arctl the great champion for
" Calvinism .against Socinianism and Arminianism :
" and his carriage was such, and his jiarts so cx-
" ceeding useful and serviceable, that the heads of
" that party were consulting how to give encou-
" ragenient to, and accunnilate projx)rtionable pre-
" ferments upon, so hopeful a convert. But behold !
*' while these things were in consulting Oliver the
" protector dic>d, and the presbyterians then over-
" topping the independents, he sideil so much with
" tliem, tiiat he contemned and in a manner defied
" Dr. Owen his dean, then accounted the head of
" that party : whereupon the doctor plainly told
" him that he was (me that sate in the seat of the
" scornful, &c. On the 24th. of July 1659, the
*' presbyterians then lifting »y> their heads, upon
" some foresight had of the success of sir George
" Booth in Cheshire, then about to rise and appear
" openly to rescue his country from slavery, our
" author South preached the assize-sermon at S.
" Mary's, wherein he took occasion to speak of the
" great disincouragcment of learning, the oppression
" of the ministry, ruin of the laws, &c. He also
" spoke against the hypix^rites and dissimulation of
" those times, and did reflect upon Unton Croke a
" colonel of a regiment of horse imder the usurpers,
" thenquarteringatOxon, who with hisfactious party
" kept a fast after dinner in his house in Grandpoole

" in the south suburb of Oxon ' It is an easy

" matter (said Mr. South) to commend patience
" when there is no danger of any trial, or extol
" humility in the midst of honours, to begin a fast
" after dinner,' &c. Afterwards he told the large
" auditory, ' Let Christ and truth say what they
" will, if interest will have it, gain must be godh-
" ness : If enthusiasm is in request, learning must
" be inconsistent with grace. If pay grows short,
" the university maintenance must be too great,' &c.
" So much bitterness was then expressed against
" the independents, that his sermon was attacked
" by certain severe reprehenders, who, according to
" the then canting way of discourse, charged it as
" full of much wrath and darkness. The presby-
" terians were much pleased with the sermon, and
" Dr. Reynolds who had been some years before
" dean of Ch. Ch. being then in Oxon, and acci-
" dentally at the sermon, he did in his going out of
" the church salute the preacher very kinaly, em-
" braced him and told him that what lay in his
" power he would do it for him, or words to that
" effect. In the latter end of the same year, when
" it was visible that monarchy would return, upon
" the success of Gen. Geo. Monk, he was something
" at a stand, yet still was accounted a member of

" the fanatic ordinary ; but when his majesty's re-
" storation could not be withstood, then did he from
" the pulpit exercise his gifts against the preshyte-
" rians, as a little before ho hiul done against the
" independents, telling his auditory of their wr}-
" faces, ill looks, puling tones, &c. All which was
" to obtain the applause (and its consequences) of
" tlie prelatical aiul loyal party, but as it fell out he
" miss'd his ends, for ny his t(K> much concernment
" and eagerness to trample u|)on them, the graver
" sort of the said party would |)ut their hats before
" their eyes, or turn aside, as being much ashamed
" at what the young man did utter. Not content
" with this, he inform 'd the leading men of the
" royalists (who were soon after ri>stored to tlieir
" places in the university) of the behaviours and
" manners of those that had been the prime men in
" the interval, and of such that had kept and (x;cu-
" pietl the places of those royalists, and left nothing
" undone to ingratiate himself with them. In this
" office Mr. South had more of his house that were
" as zealous as he, namely Charles Pickering, Hen.
" Bold, and Hen. Thurman masters of arts ; who
" tho' bibbing persons, yet did they comply so much
" wth the presbyterians and independents, that
" they Jcept their places, tho' they deserved ejection
" over anu over ; and on the change, at the restora-
" tion, they wheel'd about and acted like Protei.
" The last of these made it no conscience to utter
" matter (esteemed then by some blasphemous) in
" his sermon or sermons at S. Mary's; and in one
" at Magd. parish church, on the 21st of Octob.
" 1660, he said to this effect, that ' tho' Christ did
" and could pardon scarlet sins, yet he would not,
" nor could not pardon sins of so deep a grain as
" killing a king,' &c. And in the conclusion he
" said that ' he knew many of the auditory were
" not offended at what he had said in his sermon,
" and for those that were, he did not care so long
" as ropes and sledges held good,' &c. There were
" other persons of other colleges also, that strove,
" as I may say, to outstrip the law, such I mean
" that had been bred up among presbyterians and
" independents, purposely to shew themselves loyal,
" that thereby they might not only keep their places,
" but be in after times, as they were, promoted to
" considerable stations in the church. But these
" persons being now beyond my purpose, I shall
" proceed with my author Mr. South, who on the
" 10th of Aug. 1660 being elected the public orator
" of tlie university, he tugged hard, such was the
" high conceit of his worth, to be canon of Ch. Ch.
" as belonging to that office ; but was kept back by
" the endeavours of the dean. This was a great
" disccmtent to him, and being not able to tx)nceal
" it, he clamoured at it, and shewing much passion
" in his sermons till he could get preferment, they
" were therefore frequented by the generality, tho'

royal cause, yet so great was his conceit, or so
blinded he was with ambition, tliat he thought he
could never be enough loaded with preferment,
while otliers that had suft'ered mucli, and had
been retluced to a bit of bread for his majesty's
cause, could get nothing. Among these, who
were many in the university after the said restora-
tion, must not be forgotten Ralph Rawson bach,
of divinity, tum'd out of his fellowship of Brasen-n.
coll. bv the visitors appointed by parliament an.
1648, who did afterwards, from that time till
1660, suffer great hardship, and narrowly escaped
the halter, for being in sir George Booth's plot,
and animating his party liy his preaching to go
on coura^ously and hold fast in their designs, &c.
I say that this person could get nothing after his
majesty's restoration but his fellowship, which
made him so passionate, that lie never appeared
in S. Mary's pulpit without many complaints, in-
somuch that ne was at last called the querulous
divine.^ But now let's proceed : our author South
lieing noted for his excellent oratory ^^•as taken
into the service of Edward earl of Clarendon lord
chancellor of England, and by him made his d(v
mestic chaplain, who being much delighted with
a sermon that he had ])rcach\l before him, he
made way for him to preach the same sermon
again before his majesty : and having first passed
the scrutiny of so wise and learned a man, and so
great and famous a counsellor, every one''s expecta-
tion was heightened, and happy was he or she
amongst the greatest wits in the town, that could
accommodate their humour in getting convenient
room in the chappel at Whitehall, to hang upon
the lips of this so great an oracle. The day aj;-
poiuted being come, which was the 13th of Apr.
1662, for the acting this scene over again, our
author a.scends the pulpit, and the eyes of all were
immediately fastned ujxm him. After he had
performed his obeisance to his majesty, he named
nis text, which was Eccl. 7. 10. Say not then,
what is the cause that the former days were better
than these .-* For thou doost not enquire wisely
concerning this. Then, after a witty preamble,
he proceeded to the division of the words ; and
' having performed that with great dexterity, he

' [Rawson was a native of Cheshire : he is entered in the
matriculation register, PP. fol. I4(), b. ns follows :

' Novemb. 28. |634, Radolpli. Rowson, Cestrensis, fil.

Rawson repaired at his ejection from Oxford to Cam-
bridge, where he became tutor to the celebrated Charles
Cotton, who has gratefully celebrated his Ivindness in a trans-
lation of an ode of Johannes Secundus. Afier narrowly
escaping punishment for his conduct at the risingof sir George
Booth, he retired into Lancashire, where he went by the
iianicof Filz-Ralph, and was entertained by Thomas Preston
esq. at whose house he kept a private meeting for the royalists,
read the church service and administered her sacraments.
He never received other reward at the restoration than a re-
admission to his fellowship, and died distracted in lUSl.]

" lays by the text for the present, and, according to
" the ancient and laudable maimer, .addressed liim-
" self to the bid-prayer; which being ended, he
" resumed his text, and attempted to handle the
" several parts of it. The prohibition in the text
" he laboured to enforce by an induction of parti-
" culars. The first was, that the pagan times were
" not better than these ; then, the popish times were
" not, &c. But the last insisted on, was, the times
" of the late rebellion : and while he was endeavour-
" ing to evince that, which was indeed the main
" thing that he intended to handle, it pleased God,
" as the fanatic'' obsen'ed, that he was suddenly
" taken with a (jualm, drops of sweat standing in
" his face as big as pease, <ind immediately he lost
" the use of his speech, only he uttered some few
" words to this effect, Oh Lord ! we are all in thy
" hands, be merciful unto us ; and then came down.
" The expectations of all being thus sadly disap-
" pointed, they were contented with the divcrtise-
" ment of an anthem, and so the solemnity of the
" service for that day was ended. In the mean
" time great care was taken of Mr. South, and by
" the use of cordials, and other means proper for
" him in that condition, he quickly recovered his
" spirits, and was every way as well again as before.

" To all which the fanatic ^ adds this ' And

" we should be glad to hear he were more sensible
" of the hand of God uix)n him at that time,
" wherein it is to be feared, he sought his own ho-
" nour more than Christ's, and therefore met with
" this rebuke from the Lord, which indeed we
" should hope in charity had some great influence
" upon him ; for the next Lords-day after, he ap-
" peared again before the same splendid auditory,
" and, as we were informed, he did, before hand,
" free his sermon from many of those luxuriances
" which before it was attended with, and brings it
" forth in a less whorish attire, than he had clothed
" it with the day before ; and so, according to our
" best information, he went on and finished his dis-
" course without the least disturbance or interrup-
" tion,' &c. On the first day of Oct. 1663 there
" was a convocation of the university celebrated,
" and therein were the letters of his patron Edw.
" earl of Clarendon, chancellor of the said univer-
" sity, read in behalf of his chaplain Mr. South, to
" be created doctor of divinity ; which being done,
" the bachelors of divinity and masters of arts were
" so amazed at such a matter, as first that the said
" person should venture upon such a degree being
" but six years standing in that of master, secondly
" that he should be so Impudent to overtop a hun-
" dred of his seniors at least, and thirdly that he
" had not at all suffered for his majesty's cause, but
" rather that he had preached against it when he
" closed with the independents, they all stifly denied

" tlie passing of those letters, and were so resolute
" against tlicir taking effect, that the house being
" in a tumult thereu[X)n, the doctors of divinity
" who were generally consenting to the creation
" (for they were not to he overtop'd) did arise from
" their seats, and went down and mixed themselves
" among the masters to persuade them to yield their
" consents : hut all being done in vain, they went
" to scrutiny. Which being done, the senior proc-
" tor according to his usual perfidy (which he fre-
" quently used in his office, for he was born and
" bred a presbyterian) did pronounce him, the said
" Mr. South, virtu te juramenti sui |)assed by the
" major part of the house. Whereupon by the
" double presentation of Dr. Job. Wallis, he was
" first admitted bachelor, then doctor of divinity.
*' The chief persons concerned in this resolute action
" of denial, were Ralph llawson of Brasen-n. coll.
" before-mentiou'd and Rob. Hawkins of that of
" Baliol, the first of wiiich, if not Iwth, did aftcr-
*' wards reflect upon the said undue proceedings in
" their public sermons. Afterwarus our author
*' South had a sinecure in Wales bestowed on him,
" and when the old earl of Clarendon (his patron)
" flew beyond sea to avoid an answer to divers ar-
*' tides of treason and misdemeanour drawn against
" him by the parliament an. 1667, he was made
" chaplam to James duke of York. In the latter
" end of Dec. 1670 he was installed canon of Ch.
" Ch. in the room of Dr. Rich. Gardiner deceas''d,
" and soon after was made preb. of Westm. In
" the summer time of 1676 he went in the quality
*' of chaplain to Laurence Hyde esq; to Poland, at
" what time that gentleman was sent thither to
" christen the child of the king of that country,
" and to condole with the elnperor upon the late
" empress's death : The first of which compliments
" he performed for his majesty, but upon his coming
" from thence to Vienna he found the emperor niar-
" rie<l, and so passed on j)rivately towards England.
" In 1678 Dr. South became rector of Islip in the
" diocese of Oxon, upon the death of Dr. Edw.
" Hinton, and in 1680 he rebuilt the chancel of the
" church belonging to that place, and exercis''d
"■ much his charity there ; which rectory, sinecure,
" and two prebendships he keeps to this day, (Apr.
" 1. an. loO't) lives upon neither, as he has not
" done for alx)ut 20 years (unless residence for some
" time requires it) but upon his temporal estate at

" (as many people in Oxon think) or else respect
" and adoration which he gapes after. He hath

" vester of Burford in Oxfordshire, gent.) son of
" Rich. WoodrofFe a minister of Wiltsliire, but de-
" scendeti from tliose of his name (that are antient)
" in Yorkshire, was born in a street called Canditcli
" in S. Mary Magd. parish in the north suburb of
" Oxon (in an house tliere, opposite to tlie place
" where the theatre was afterwards built) in the
" month of Apr. 1638, educated in the college
" school at Westminster, and made student of Ch.
" Ch. an. 1656. After he had taken the degree of
" master of arts, he became a noted tutor in the
" college, and in 1669 was made chaplain to his
" royal highness James duke of York, then high
" admiral of England, and alwut the same time leU
" low of the royal society. In 1672 he was chap-
" lain in the great ship called the royal prince,
" being then the ship which was commanded by the
" said admiral : in which year May 28 was the terri-
" ble fight oft" of Southwald-Bay betwixt the English
" and Dutch, wherein the said admiral behaved
[1048] " himself with undaunted courage. In the latter
" end of Novemb. the same year he was made lec-
" turer of the Temple, and on the 17th of Dec.
" following was installed canon of Ch. Ch. in the
" place ot Dr. Jasp. Mayne deceased : which ca^
" nonry was obtained for him of his majesty by his
" most generous patron James duke of York, with
" whom he was present in the same ship, in the ter-
" rible fight before-mention'd. Soon after by the
" favour of Theophilus earl of Huntingdon (who
" was his pupil in the earl's house) he became vicar
" of Piddletowne in Dorsetshire ; which, after about
" two years enjoyment, he gave up to his curate the
" honourable John Fielding of the noble family of
" the earl of Denbigh. Afterwards he became vicar
" of Shrineham in Berkshire, by the favour of
" Heneage earl of Nottingham, (to whose three
" eldest sons, Daniel, Heneage, and William, he
" had been tutor in Ch. Ch.) and about the same
" time he became chaplain in ord. to his majesty.
" In 1677 he was made prebendary of Lichfield,
" and much about the same time rector of S. Bar-
" tholomew's near to the Royal Exchange within
" the city of London. About the beginning of
" Dec. 1688 he was nominated dean of Ch. Ch.
" by king James II. upon the withdrawing thence
" of Mr. Joh. Massey, and on the 15th of Aug.
" 1692 he was admitted principal of Glocester-hall,
" after the resignation of Dr. Byrom Eaton. It
" must be now known, that the said antient recep-
" tacle of learning having lain void of students se-
" veral years, and ruined more, the said Dr. Eaton
" resolv'd to resign all his interest therein, so that
" he could get a man that would endeavour to make
" it flourish. Whereupon Dr. Woodroffe, a person
" of a generous and public spirit, being minded to
" recover it from ruin, he took upon him the prin-
" cipality, bestowed several hundreds of pounds in

« WILLIAM PENN, esq; son and heir of sir
" Will. Penn, knt, sometime high admiral of the
" English navy before the restoration of king Ch.
" II. and after his restor. admiral under James duke
" of York agfiinst the DuU-h fleet, an. 166.5, by
" Margaret his wife dau. of John Jasper of Roter-
" dam in Holland merchant : which sir Will, was
" born at Mynety in Wiltsh. where his father,
" grandfather, &c. lived in a wealthy condition. As
" for our William, whom we are farther to men-
" tion, he was born on Tower-hill near London, on
" the 14th of Octob. 1644, educated in puerile
" learning at Chigwell in Essex, where, at eleven

* " years of age, being retired in a chamber alone, he

" was so suddenly surprized with an inward comfort
" and (as he thought) an external glory in the
" room, that he has many times said, that ' from
" that time he had the seal of divinity and immor-
" tality, that there was also a God, and that the
" soul of man was capable of enjoying his divine
" communications.'' Afterwards he went to a pri-
" vate school on Tower-hill, and had, besides, the
" benefit of a tutor which his father kept in his
" house. In 1660 he was entred a gent. com. of
" Ch. Ch. and in the beginning of Mich, term (in
" Octob.) he was matriculated as a member of the
" univ. and a knight's son. After two years stay
" there, where he delighted much in manly sjwrts
" at times of recreation, he travelled into France,
" spent there two years more, and at his return was
" entred into Lincolns-inn to obtain some know-
" ledge in the municipal law, where continuing till
" the plague began to rage in London, an. 1665,
" his father employed him in a journey to the duke
" of Ormond''s court in Ireland ; but the diversions
" there being not able to suppress the strong mo-
" tions of his soul to a more religious and retired
" life, he went to the city of Cork, where, whether
" purposely, or by accident, I know not, hearing
" one Tho. Low sometimes a laiick of Oxon (but
" then a most noted quaker) preach, an. 1667, he
" was so thoroughly convinced of the simplicity and
" self-denial of the way of the people called quakers,
" that from thenceforth he heartily espoused that
" judgment and belief. This is the reason of his
" conversion as he used to tell his friends, but if
" you'll believe a satyrical pamphlet entit. Ulmorum
" Achei-ons : or, the Histm-y of Will. PenrCs Con-
" version from a Gent, to a Quaker, &c. printed at
" Lond. in one sh. in qu. 1682, you'll find that the
" reason of his turning quaker was the loss of his
" mistress, a delicate yoimg lady, that then lived in
" Dublin, &c. or, as others say, because he refused
" to fight a duel. Howsoever it is, sure I am, that

[10511 " since the time of his being a quaker, he hath
" passed a life with great variety of circumstances,
" as well with respect to good as evil rejwrt, in con-
" troversies oral and written, in several imprison-
" ments, once in Ireland, once in the Tower, three
" times in Newgate in London, &c. which hath

made him known and esteemed to be the pride
and Coripheus of the quakers. In Sept. 1670,
his father, who had done many signal services for
the king, died at Wansted in Ilssex, aged 49
years or more, and left this his son William an
estate of about 1500/. jier ann. in England and
Ireland. In 1671 our author William Penn be-
ing released from a tedious imprisonment after
his tryal, which I shall mention anon, he tra-
velled into Germany, and there again in 1677,
where several persons were affected with his way :
And notwithstanding the many odd adventures of
his life, he hath several times found favour from
his majesty king Charles II. divers of the nobility
and many men of quality and learning. Now it
must be known that the said king having been
indebted to our author for services done to him
by his father in the sum of lOOOOZ. besides the
interest of it for several years, he did in consi-
deration thereof, grant to him the said Will. Penn,
esq; his heirs and assigns for ever, by his let. pat.
bearing date on the fourth day of March 1^0,
all that tract of land in America, with all islands
thereunto belonging, that is to say, from the be-
ginning of the fortieth degree of north latitude
unto the forty third degree of north latitude,
whose eastern bounds from twelve English miles
above Newcastle (alias Delaware town) runs all
along upon the side of Delaware river, which tract
of land his maj. at the same time caused to be
called Pennsilvania. In Nov. 1681 he was chosen *
fellow of the royal society, to the end, I suppose,
that he might give the members thereof an ac-
count of things natural and experimental in the
said tract of land, and on the 26th of Aug. 1682
he went towards Deal to set out for Pennsilvania.
On the 30th of the said month about morn, he
took shipping at Deal, being then accompanied
with as many quakers as he could get together to ■
live with him tnere, where continuing about two
years he returned into England about the begin-
ning of Octob. 1684. Soon after king Charles
II. dying, he was taken into the favour of his
successor king James II. and no man had his ear
more than he, preached sometimes in conventicles,
and especially on a particular time in Gracious-
street, when an indulgence was granted by the
said king, and in several discourses he would free
himself from being a Jesuit or popish priest, which
was alledged against him by several ministers of
the church of England. In June 1690, when
the French fleet appeared on our shore in order
to fight the English, he was upon suspicion of
taking part with king James II. imprist)n'd, as
divers others were, wliere continuing till the latter
end of Nov. following was released with Joh.
Gatlburj-. On the l.'Jth of Apr. or thereabouts
1691, he was brought out of Sussex by a guard
of horse, and on the 30th ordered to an outlawry.

« PETER BIRCH, son of Tho. Birch of the
" antient and genteel family of the Birches of Birch
" in Lancashire, was born m that county, educated
" in presbyterian principles, and afterwards retiring
" with Andrew his brother to Oxon, an. 1670; they
" lived as sojourners in the house of John Foulks
" an apothecary in St. Mary's parish, became stu-
" dents in the public library, and had a tutor to in-

" struct them in philosophical learning, but yet dd
" not wear gowns. At length Peter leaving Oxon
" for a time, did afterwards return with a mind to
" conform and wear a gown. Whereupon Dr. John
" Fell taking cognizance of the matter, he jjrocured
" certain letters from the chancellor of the univer-
" sity in his behalf; which being read in a convo-
" cation held 6 May 1673, you shall have the con-
" tents of them as they follow. ' Peter Birch,
" whom these letters concern, did lately live among
" you, not so regularly either in relation to the
" churcli, or the government of the university, as
" he ought, yet withall, as I liave understootl, that
" before he went from among you, he declared his
" conformity to the church, by receiving the sacra-

" ment publicly. Immediately after he was called

" away by his father, with whom he hath with great
" importunity prevailed to permit him to return to
" the university (tho' he was pressed to go to Cam-
" bridge where he was sometime since matriculated)
" chusmg to testify his change of mind, and receive
" his education there, where he had formerly hvcd

" a dissenter 'Tis my desire that he may be

" bach, of arts after he has performed his exercise,
" and to compute his time from his matriculation in
" Cambridge,' &c. The chancellor then told the
" ven. convocation in his said letters, "^I'liat when so
" many run away from the church, you would think
" fit to encourage one who addresseth himself a free
" and thorough convert, &c. After the said letters
" were read, there was some clamour in the house
" against the passing of them ; and Ralph Rawson
" of Brasen-n. coll. concerning himself more than
" the rest in the matter (for he said openly, that
" fanatics are now encouraged, and loyalists set
" aside, &c.) he got the ill-will of Dr. Joh. Fell,
" who always shew'd himself forward in gaining
" proselltes. Dr. R. Bathurst and others of that
" mind. On the 12th day of the said month of
" May 1673 Pet. Birch was matriculated, as a mem-
" ber of Ch. Ch. he being then about 21 years of
" age, and being soon after admitted bach, of arts,
" he was made one of the chaplains or petty-canons
" of that house by the said Dr. Fell. Afterwards
" he proceeded in arts, preached several times in
" and near Oxon, was curate of St. Thomas's pa-
" rish, afterwards rector of St. Ebbes church for a
" time, and a lecturer at Carfax, and being recom-
" mended to the service of James duke of Ormond,
" he was by him made one of his chaplains. After-
" wards he became minister of St. James's church
" within the liberty of Westminster, doctor of div.
" an. 1688, chaplain to the house of commons in
" 1689, prebend of Westminster in the place of Dr.
" Sim. Patrick promoted to the see of Chichester,
" in which dignity he was installed the 18th of Oct.
" the same year. He hath published

■' geant alias Smith hath divers other things lying
' now (1693) by him in manuscript, which he in-
" tends to publish, being matters, as I conceive, of
' controversy. But all this I speak by the by. Now
■' let's proceed to the titles of the rest of the works
' written by our author Dr. D. Whitby, which are
' these,

" An Endeavour to evince the Certainty of Chris-
' tian Faith in general, and qftlie Resurrection of
'■' Chi-ist in particular. Oxon. 1671. oct.

" A Discourse concerning the Idolatry of tlie
' Church of Rome, wherein that Charge is justified,
' and the pretended Refutation of Dr. StilUngfleeCs
' Discourse is answered. Lond. 1674. oct. This
' Discourse wa.'' wrote in defence of Dr. Stilling-
' fleet's book entit. A Discourse of the Idolatry
' practised in the Church of Rome, &.c. against Dr.
' Tho. Goddcn's answer thereunto, called Cat/io-
■' licks no Idolaters,'k<;. I ond. 1671, 72. oct. Af-
' terwards Dr. Stillingfleet also, who was the only
' person conccrn'd, answer'd this piece of Dr. God-
' den in a book entit. A Defence of tfic Discourse,
' c^-c. against a Book called Catholicks no Idolaters,
' in two Parts. Lond. 1676. oct. respiting the other
' part in answer to the remainder of Dr. Th. God-
' den his book to a farther opportunity ; which the
' doctor saith he might the better do, because it
' had already received a sufficient answer from a
' learned and woi-thy person, meaning our author
' Dr. Whitby. We may here take notice that Dr.
' Tho. Godden before-mention'd, (who, as Dr. Stil-
' lingfleet ^ saith, was the most considerable advcr-
' sary that had appeared against him,) was born,
' as I have been inforro'd, in London, of the same
' family with sir Adam Browne of Surrey (his right
' sirname being Browne) bred in S. John's coll. in
' Cambridge, where he was bach, of arts, but leaving
' the English church, he went to Lisbon in Por-
' tugal, where spending some time in the English
' coll. was sent on the mission into England, became
' one of the chaplains to queen Katharine the roj'al .
' consort of king Charles XL and lived in Somerset-
' house till the popish plot broke out. By letters
' dated 4 Dec. 1688, the nation being then in a
' hurry upon the coming to London of the prince
' of Orange to take possession of the throne, and the
' papists shifting for themselves, I was informed
' that Dr. Th. Godden the famous Roman catholic
' writer was buried on the first day of the sjud

' letters told me not. He died in or near Somerset- ,
' house in the Strand within the city of Westm.

*' Controversies, by R. H. (Ab. Woodliead) in a
" Serm. on Joh. 7. 47, 48, 49. Lond. 1679. oct.
I' The said book called The Absurdity, &c. with
" its Append, against Trans%ib. together with the
" former book in defence of Dr. Stillingfleet, do
" evince the trutii of those doctrines contained in
*' the two great tests, one made in the 25th year
" against transubstantiation, and the other in the
" 30th year of king Charles II. which last requireth
*' the renouncing of the several Roman catholic
" tenets refuted in these two books : and the per-
" formance of our author therein doth moreover
" justify the reasonableness and equity of imposing
" the said tests, as Dr. AVhitby in his Appendix
" replies to what R. H. (author of those six parts in
*' qu. which came out under the title of The Guide
" in Controversies) hath offered in his Rational
" Account, disc. 1. cap. &c. for transubstantiation.
" So he saith, that he hath likewise in the close of
" it laid the foundations of a sufficient answer both
" to that author's Rational Account, and his Dis-
" course against Dr. Stillingjleet : to both which
" pieces he promises hereafter a more direct and
" fuller answer. The said sermon contained in this
" appendix was intended by the autlior to have beeli
*' preached before the clergy, and was penned in
" confutation of R. H. the author of The Guide in
" Controversies, shewing that the most plausible
" arguments produced in his Rational Account
" against protestants, do more effectually conclude
•• for Judaism against Christianity.

" book, to which his name is not put, was published

" Treason under tlie fair Face and Mask of Reli-

" 1683, 84. qu. In which book in general, and in
" the title thereof, he saith that the author of the
" Protestant Reconciler designs nothing but to prove
" anarchy and confusion in church and state : that
" the author is guilty of treason, an cncourager of
" the new plot, (that is, the presbyterian plot which
" broke out in June 1683) a giver out unto the
" people that the king and governors were and arc
" the oetrayers of their liberties, and therefore de-
" serves death,' &c. (8) By the author of An
" awakening Word to the Grand-Jury Men of the
" Nation. Lond. 1683, 84. qu. To which is added,
" A brief Comparison between Dan. Whitby and

" to sacred Majesty, by one or two of his Fautors :
" the second punished f/r his Abuses of the Kitig's
" only Brother, by the Loyal Chief Ju,sfice Jef-
"feries. The Jirst sailed harmless in many Pre-
" ferments {three of which are in one Church of
" Sarum): the second fined in Mercy no more than
" 100000 Pounds. In the said pamphlet, which is
" a very virulent thing, the author saith, that after
" Dr. Whitby had published The Protestant Re-
" conciler, the people did nick-name him Whigb)',
" that also he was suspended, and at length made a
" pretended recantation, which cost him nothing
" but the pleasure of outwitting his governors, by a
" part acted in a comical way. About the same
" time was published a pamphlet entit. Three Lct-
" ters of Thanks to The Protestant Reconciler, 1.
" From the Anabaptists at Mitnster. 2. From the
" Congregations in New-England. 3. From the
" Quakers in Pensylvania. But this was not all,
" for so it is, that in the said book called The Pro-
" testant Reconciler, there being a damnable doc-
" trine, ' that the duty of not offending a weak bro-
" ther is inconsistent with all humane authority of
" making la'Wfs concerning indifferent things,' it was
" therefore condemned by the university of Oxford
" in their Convocation held 21 July 1G83, and the
" book wherein it is was forthwith burnt by the
" hands of ihe university marshall in the schools
" quadrangle. See more in Sam. Thomas. Dr.

"Jbrd to Mr. Tho. Salmon, In/ Way of Cotyfutation

" Playford was then a bookseller, a trader in musical
" booKs and musical paper, and a practitioner in
" music, living near the church belonging to the
" Templars in London. As for M. Locke, who was
" a Roman catholic and an excellent organist, he
" was esteemed a person, tho' eminent in his way,
" not fit to stand m competition with Salmon, for
" Salmon's book being looked upon by scholars as
" an ingenious performance, the answer thereto, or
" observations on it was by them esteemed a dull
" thing. This Mr. Locke had before published A
" little Consort of three Parts, containing Pavans,
" Ayres, Corants, and Sarabrands, for Viols and
" Violins, in two several Varieties. The first txoenty
" are for two Trebles and a Bass. The last twenty

• of his acquaintance and persuasion, about the

• month of Sept. 1677. As for our author Salmon
he hath also written,

" A Proposal to perform Music in perfect and
mathematical Proportions, containing 1. The
State of Music in general. 2. 71te Principles of
present Practice, according to that Art. 3. The
Tables of Proportions calculated for the Viol, and
capable of being accommodated to all Sorts of
Music. Lond. 1689. qu. approved by Ixith the
mathematic professors of the university of Oxford,

" ELKANAH SETTLE, son of Joseph Settle
of Dunstable in Bedfordshire, was born there, be-
came a com. of Trin. coll. in Miflsummer terra,
an. 1666, aged 18 years, being then put under
the tuition of Mr. Abr. Campion fellow of that
house ; but before he t<x)k a degree he left it, re-
tired to the great city, and improving the founda-
tion of learning that he had laid there, especially
in dramatic poesy, arrived at length to a con-
siderable perfection therein, as by these tragedies,
to which his muse is chiefly addicted, and trag.
com. it appears,

" Cambyses King of Persia, Trag. This

tragedy, in which he was assistecl by William
Butler Fyfe a gent. com. of Trin. coll. son of
Will. Fyfe of Wedmore in Lancashire, esq; was
acted at Oxon by the king's players, in the time
of the act, an. 1671, being that year first of all
published in qu. It was written in heroic verse,
and founded on history.

" The Empress of Morocco, Trag. Lond. 1671
and 1673 with sculptures, &c. qu. For the writ-
ing of which two tragedies, he had the applause
of some, the severe censure of others, and perhaps
neither according to exact desert; to those that
err on the right hand, that is, that ovcr-praisc>,
little is to be said : to the others it may be pleaded
in his behalf, that his soaring up to too much af-
fected and immoderate heights, which is taken by*
one to be his chief failing, may possibly be allayed
by the more mature judgment of riper years, he
being yet (1675) but a young man. He hath
also written,

" Notes and Observations on The Empress of
Morocco revi.s'd; with some few Erratas to be
printed instead of the Postscript, with the next
Edit, of The Conquest of Granada. Lond. 1674.
qu. The said Conquest of Granada was written
by Mr. Joh. Dryden, who, together with Mr.
Tho. Shadwell and the author of the play called,
Pandion and Amphigenia, as our author Settle
supjxjscth, club'd to pen the Notes and Observa-

" opposition to, and to thwart which, was printed
" The Character of a Rebellion, and what England
" may expect from one, &c. Lond. 1681. in 5 sh.
" in fol. and soon after A Character of the trueblue
" Prote.Hant Poet, Sec. (meaning Elk. Settle) printed
" at London in one sh. in fol. in Apr. 1682. The
" beginning of which is, ' One would believe it al-
" most incredible, that any out of Bedlam should
" think it possible, a yesterday's fool, an errant
" knave, a despicable coward, and a prophane
" atheist, should l)e to day by tlic same persons, a

Cowley, a man of honour, an hero, and a zealous
upholder of tlie protestant cause and interest,' Stc.
The author of this pamphlet proceeds farther to
tell the world of the meanness of his education)
and relations (most of whom are barbers) of the
baseness, falseness and mutability of his nature,
and other matters, too many to be here mentioned.
By which it also appears that our author Settle
clos'd with the Whigs, when they took advantage
to promote their cause upon the eruption of tne
p<^ish, or Oates's plot, and was ready to fall off
wom, and return to, them, for his own advantage.
To the said Character of a Popish Successor,
came out soon after two answers, viz. the first was
called An Answer to a late Pamphlet entit. A
Character, &c. Lond. 1681, in 4 sh. and an half
in fol. but by whom written I know not. The
other is entit. The ClMracter of a Papist in Mas-
querade, supported by Autliority and Experience^
in Answer to A Character of, &c. Lond. 1681, in
eleven sh. in qu. written by Rog. L'estrange, esq.
Against these two answers our author Settle made
a reply in

" A Vindication of Tlie Character of a Popish
Successor, in a Reply to two pretended Answers
to it. Lond. 1681, in 5 sh. in fol. Before the
title of which, is placed an advertisement to shew

' that the author of The Cliaracter of a Popish
Successor was not the author of the second ' part

' of it, which bore the same title and was newly

' made extant before he pubhshed his Vindication.

' Mr. Settle hath also written,
" The Cliaracter of a Popish Successor com^

■ pleat : In Defeiice of tlie first Part against tzco

■ Answers, one written by Mr. Uestrange, called
' Tlie Character of a Papist in Masquerade, &c.
' and another by an tinknown Hand. Lond. 1681.

in 11 sh. in fol. This is the smartest piece of the
two, yet L'estrange ' says 'tis a pompous, wordy
thing, made up of shifts and suppositions, without
' so much as an argument, either offer'd or answered
' in stress of the question, &c. After these things
were published pro and con, came out at length
Some sliort Reflections on some Passages in a late
Pamphlet called. The Character of a Popish
Successor, and Considerations thereupon, in a
Book entit. The Character of an Jionest Man,
ivhether styVd Wliig or Tory, and his Oppositey

the Knai^e Lond. 1 6^. in 5 sh. in fol. In

the beginning of which is given an account of the
first rise and origen of the distinguishing word
Whig. Who the author of this was, I know not :
he only calls himself ' a lover of truth and peace ;'
but whether our author Settle did answer this, I
know not ; sure I am that the two parts of The
Character of a Popish Successor, were, with The

' [There are two anecdotes related of Tliomas Killigrew,
whicn shew that he was permitted to take great Hberties with
his sovereign, and at the same time prove that he used this
privilege to a belter purpose than most of Charles's facetious
companions : The tales are as follow.

• When the l<ing's unbounded passion for women had given
his mistress such an ascendancy over him, that, like the ef-
feminate Persian monarch, he was much fitter to have
hamlled a distafl" than to wield a sceptre, and for the conver-
sation of his concubines utterly neglected the most important
afl'airs of state, Killigrew went to pay his niiijesly a visit in
his private aparlmeuls, habited like a pilgrim who was bent
on a long journey. The kins, surprised at the oddiiy of his
appearance, immediately a^ked him what was the meaning of
it, and whither he was going? To hell, bluntly replied Kil-
ligrew. Prythee (says the king) what can your errand be to
that place? — To fetch back Oliver Cromwell (rejoined he)
that he may lake some care of tlie affairs of England ; for his
successor laketh none at all.

• Charles's fondness for pleasure, to which he almost al-
ways made business give way, used frequently to delay afl'airs
of consequence, from his majesty's disappointing the council
of his presence when met for the dispatch of business ; which
tieglect gave great disgust and offence to many of thobc who
were treated with this seeming disrespect. On one of these
occasions, the duke of Luulerdale, who was naturally impe-
tuous and turbulent, quitied the council-chamber in a violent
passion, and meeting Killigrew presently after, expressed
himself on the occasion in very disrespectful terms of his ma-
jesty. Killigrew begged his grace to moderate his passion,
and off'ered to lay him a wager of an hundred pounds iliat he
himself would prevail on his majesty to come to council in
half an hour. The duke, surprised at the boldness of the as-
sertion, and warmed by resentment against the king, accepted
the wager; on which Killigrew immediately went to ihe
king, and, without ceremony, told him what had happened ;
adding these words — I know ihatynur m.njesly hates Lauder-
dale, though the necessity of your aff^airs compels you to carry
an outward appearance of civility : now, if you choose to be
rid of a man who is thus disagreeable to you, you need only
go this once to council, for I know his covetous disposition
so perfectly, that 1 am well persuaded, rather than pay this
hundred pounds, he would hang himself out of the way, and
never plague you any more. The king was so pleased with
this observation, that he immediately replied. Well, then,
Killigrew, 1 positively will go; and kept his word accord-

" conversation : upon which account sir Joh. Den-

" this censure upon their abilities and defects,

of eighty-eight, in 1693, and was buried in West-

Wood records that Killigrew was the first of his
father's servants whom Charles the second promoted
to a situation near his person ; and the following ad-
mirable letter of advice, addressed to his master im-
mediately before the restoration, will shew that the
monarch had just reason to applaud his wisdom and
to reward his fidelity.

Sir William Killigrew to King Clmrles II.

Sir,
I hope your majesty will alowe me in their
number who are very glad for your comminge into
England, and one, that niaye as reasonably as many
others have hopes, by your favor, to gett some pre-
ferment or reparation for my losses, and make that
my designe in my perticuler adress unto your ma-
jesty on the account of my neere relation to your
father, and his favor to me grounded on his as-
surance, that I preferred his service before my owne
interest; which this inclosed letter, all his owne
hand writing, doth clearely shewe; which was the
occasion for my so frequent walkinge with him at
Oxford, of which your majesty was then a daily
witness. And, sir, that I niaye now make good my
old caracter, I have no perticuler sute unto your
majesty. I wish only to share in the generall good
of the nation, and doe humbly bcgge leave to pre-
sent unto your view and consideration these follow-
inge conceptions, from a heart, that will ever preferr

given by the author, whose arms and initials are richly
stamped on the cover. The portrait is one of Failhorne's

Jour majesty's prosperety and the generall good
efore my private interest.
First, sir, your character is presented heere as
tlie most polhticke prince Hvinjj^e, that understands
all the artes of a courte, and as capeable to make
these nations happie as any of your pretlices-sors have
done. And from this those now at the helme of
government doe raise arguments to dought their
owne security ; and will therefore hrlnge your ma-
jestic in on temies, such as niaye looke like fetters
unfitt to Ix; imposed on their kinge, for whom they
liave so high a vallewe ; and at a tyme when the
nation calls alowde for you, as the only cure for all
their evells. But, sir, 'tis conseaved, that if your
majesty doe putt on such golden fetters frankely,
they will rather adornc then clogge your govern-
ment ; and insteed of restraining your free liearte,
you will have more power in a short tyme to grattefy
and reward such as have merited favours from you.
Sir, I doe not presume to sett your majesty a rule,
but to offer unto your consideration some of the dis-
corses, which the kinge your father did alowe me,
in my frequent walkinge with him every morning at
Oxford, w-hen his conaition was not so desperate as
your's since has bcin.

Suppose, sir, that you were now called in without
any restrictions, how impossible a worke it would
be, to please all those, that have really served your
father and yourselfe, with them that will pretend to
it By what I frequently heare is the expectations
of many, half the revennue of England will not doe
it, did you come in a conqueror. For if your ma-
jesty doe but thinke on the numerous clergie, with
their famelyes, and on the innumerable multitudes
of all those that have suffred on your side, that will
expect a reparation or recompence ; naye, sir, it is
evident, that all the people m generall doe looke,
that you should bringe them peace and plenty, as
well as a pardon for all those who have offended.
J^ad I doe fearc, you will find it a harder matter to
siitisfic those that call themselves your frends, and
those who really are so, then all those who have
been against your majesty. Then, sir, when I con-
sider who have lost a parte or all their estates, and
have ventred far for you ; such as maye justly pre-
tend to grcate places of trust, of honor and proiitt ;
and also, that some of the grandees heere, who have
now done your worke, will expect the like from you ;
'tis not your three kingdoms that will aford nalfe
enough places or imployments for them all, which
will dissatisfie all those that miss of their hopes, in
case your majesty have all at your disposingc. From
such thoughts as these I gather, sir, that however
your comminge in on termcs may looke at first sight
as a lesninge of your dignety, 'twill prove more ad-
vantagious to your future happiness, then to come
in without conditions ; for no sober man can repine,
if your majesty doe not give what you have not
jwwer to «ve.

Next, SU-, if you come to.your crowne as freely as

you arc borne to it, how will j'ou settle church-
government at first, to please the old true Protest-
ants ? And how the Presbitcrians who now call you
in, when all other interests have failed to doe it.?
And how the Papists, who doe hope for a tollera-
tioti ? How satisfie the Independents, the Congre-
gation, and all the severall sortes of violent sectaries ?
Whereas if your majesty be tyed up by articles,
none of all these can blame you for not answeringe
their expectations.

Then, sir, for the militia by sea and land, how
can your majesty let fall the greevous taxes, which
the people groane under, and then defraye that vast
expence.'' for though some perticuler persons doe
desire your comminge for love to yourselfe, 'tis the
generall affliction, that invites tlie geuerallety to
wishe for your majesty, as the only remedy to re-
move their oppressions. But if the parliament takes
the care and charge of the militia, the people can
have no argument against what their owne trustees
shall doe for the good and safety of the nation ; and
whatever the nation does well, will be honor to the
kinge ; and whatever miscarries, he will avoyd tlie
blame this waye.

Then, sir, suppose you alowe the parliament to
preferr halfe your councellors to you, and halfe your
greate officers of state, they must be your servants,
and confirmed by your greate scale, and attend on
your person, and no dought will seeke your favor.
And then, if any doe not discharge their trusts, they
must answer it to those that preferred them to you ;
by which meanes your majesty will be well served
in emulation by both party es, and be free from the
old custome of your predicessors, to have all your
officer's faults layed to your charge ; which lost our
kinges their people's hearts more then all other
thinges. So that 'tis humbly conseaved, if your
majesty doe parte with some of these ornaments of
your crowne for a while, your majesty maye be now
much happier, then in these distracted tymes to
have all fully in your owne power, accompanied with
the evells, that will necessarely attend them for some
yeares, till this giddy humore of the people be al-
layed by there experience in your majestye's happie
reigne.

'Tis also humbly conseaved, if your majesty have
a large yearcly revennue settled for your owne and
famelye's support, 'twill be of greater use to your-
selfe and servants, than two millions a yeare to de-
fraye the land sea militia with. By your owne pri-
vate revenneue your majesty will have enough to
reward who you please, without controule, and maye
in a fewe yeares laye up a treasure to your owne
use; that insteed of borrowing from your subjects,
you maye at any time be able to lend your parlia-
ment a grand summe, if occasion require, and be
reimbursed againe with love and thankes from the
whole nation ; and so become the father of your
people, and lord of all their hearts ; and tlius invite
them to compliment you into all your rights and

royaltyes in fewc ycares ; for when they see their
kinge is become their Ix-st friend, who can they trust
before him? A little honest arte, sir, this waye,
wouL'l bringe you to more grcateness and power,
then any of your predicessors ever had; ior the
Englishe is to be wonne by kindness.

I am bould, sir, to shewe unto your majesty these
heads (wiiich I heare will be ofFcretl unto you) for
argumentation with your owne heart, only because
many tymes the conceptions of weake men have en-
lightened the judgements of wise princes. This is
not fitt to be debated at your counceil ; yet, sir, this
discorse I have often entertained the kinge your
father with in the garden at Oxford, when every
body wondred what he could find to talke so much
alone with me about. I looke not on myselfe, sir,
as a fitt councellor of state, nor have I any preten-
tion to any preferment or rewarde: I doe knowe
this discorse has nether eloquence nor arte to sett it
out ; but is really from a true heart, that loves you ;
'tis my suite, sir, havinge noe other waye then my
pra3'ers and wishes to serve you in. I shall rejoice
to see you happie ; and if I thought any body else
would offer these things unto your consideration, I
would not have troubled your majesty with these
rude lines. But havinge some reasons to aprehend,
that some from hence maye ^ve your majestic ar-
guments not to accept of the conditions that will be
offred you, on hopes that France and Spaine will
bringe you in on better termes, which I shall ever
dought of their good-will to doe ; or if they would,
it is not very likely they can, because a forraine
warre may unite these nations (now full of soUdiers)
to their utmost opposition, which is the only hope
of the sectaries, which maye begett a hazarrdous
newe warre. Whereas by comming in by consent
and on articles, you will be welcome, and be secured
by generall Monke and his army against all opposers,
if any shall apeere ; for who can meritt more your
trust then he, who under Gtxl has done this great
worke for you, beyond the indeavours or the hopes
of all your friends, and who has refused the supreme
power proff'red and pressed upon himselfe .''

Lastly, sir, I do humbly conseave, that your ma-
jesty may with honor and safety throwe yourselfe
freely into the armes of your people, and rely on
such conditions as they will think fitt for their kinge
in honor to accept of, who is fully resolved to raise
his owne happines on his subject's love; which I
beleeve your father's reign will shewe. Such a trust
in them must in a short tyme begett their trust in
you ; and maye make them impose less at present :
however, in my poor opinion, such a generall free
offer is more then can be desired, and will be more
honorable then by submitting to perticulers.

Now, sir, if all this tliat I have proposed be what
you knewe before, 'tis more then I am acquainted
with. My excuse is my affection to your majesty,
without any designe for myselfe. There be so many,
that have merited your favors, beyond any'pretence
of myne, that my only sutc is, that your majestic

will be pleased to pardon this presumption to give
my opinion in this greate aflurc, which I doe not
thinke fitt to have the aprobation of any man in,
but however my good-will be accepted, I shall ever
live and dye, sir,

Most affectionate, humble and obedient
subject and servant,

was minister of Paulers-Perry — ' qui in isto viculo,

this occupation suit his hahits, or hiniselC adapted to
tlie mani.crs of the dutchess of Cle\eland, he gave
up the ap|X)intinent after a year's residence at
Paris,' and returned to Oxford. In 1683 he again
went into Holland to he present at the sale of
Nicholas Heinsius's library, and he was received at
Leyden with so great kindness by the professors and
literary men of that university, that he would have
been glad to have resided there altogether, if they
had appointed him professor of the Oriental tongues ;
but this scheme failing, he returned to Oxford.
About this time it was, that some proposals were
made on Bernard"'s part to give up his professorship
to riamsteed or Halley, but though, according to
Dr. Svnith,8 the conditions were most just and
honourable, the negotiation was not attended with
success, and he was compelled to retain the office
for several years afterwards, till, as has been before
related, he procured Brightwell, by the favour of his
old friend and patron Dr. Mews, then bishop of
Winchester. Early in September 1696 he revisited
Holland, for the third time, and again in the cause
of literature ; this was done contrary to the wishes
and advice of his friends,^ and at a time when he
was labouring under the stone, and otherwise debi-
litated by infirmities. But he resolved to attend in
person at the sale of Golius's manuscripts,' and went
accompanied only by his wife. It is probable that
this voyage and the exertion hastened his death, for
no sooner did he return than he fell into a con-
sumption, which being accompanied by a dysentery,
put an end to his life on the 12tn of January
1696-7, before he was quite 59 years of age. He
was buried, with the greatest respect, in the chapel
of St. John's college, and the following inscription
was, at his own desire, placed on a neat monument
of white marble, with a heart carved in the centre,

In respect to Bernard's character I cannot do better
than refer to the account given of him by Dr.
Smith, who was his intimate acquaintance, and who
speaks of him in the highest terms. As a scholar
he well may be ranked amongst the first of the age
in which he lived ; as a divine he was strictly or-
thodox, but with the most charitable feelings to-
wards dissenters of all denominations ; and in private
hfe few appear so amiable, none to have been more
highly valued. It is indeed quite sufficient to refer
to his correspondence in the Bodleian library to

sliew in what esteem he was held by the most vir-
tuous as well as the most learned of his time.
Pearson, Fell, Barlow, Graves, I^oftus, Lightfoot,
Guise, Wallis, Dcxlwell, Himtington, Cave, Hyde,
Bentley, and Smith all bear testimony to his merit,
and the records of his own college corroborate the
general opinion by the insertion of his name with
peculiar honour in the album of its worthies.

It remains only to notice such of his works both
printed and inedited as have not been already re-

Of the books purcliased by llie university of Dr.
Beniani's widow, a vast number contain copious
notes in his own liand writing. His edition of the
Polyglolt Bible, in whicli were ample collations,
notes, and scholia, was purchased by Olaus Wor-
niius for 20/. and cjirricd to Denmark : His Common
Prayer, xcith the Constitutions and Canons Eccle-
siastical, as well as the Tltirty-nine Articles, of the
edit. Oxford 1683, is in the Bodleian, and contains
several important notes and observations.

Dr. Bernard's own manuscripts in the Bodleian,
those are such as are written in his hand and of his
own composition, consist for the most part of Ad-
versaria, containing rem.arks and obsenations chiefly
on oriental subjects. A very large portion of his
correspondence with the learned men of his age is
preserved also in that library among Dr. Smith's
manuscripts, and in the .same collection will be found
very many of his literary notices and extracts.
In the notes' will be found an account of the

' [1697. After the death of the late reverend and learned
Dr. Edward Bernard, the university seemed willing to lay
out a sum of money in purchasing such of his books as should
be thought most necessary for the publick library : and I
was ordered to bring unto the reverend Dr. Adams rector of
Lincoln college, then vice-chancellor, a catalogue of those
books in the said Dr. Bernard's study (being not manuscripts
nor collated with manuscripts) which were either wholly
wanting in the publick librarj-, or else were of different
editions. This list, when finished, v\'as perused by Mr. Vice-
chancellor, &c. but thought too large : and I was afterwards
required to extract from it a new list of the chiefest books,
reduced into their several faculties, which would come to
about 150" leaving out most of the rabbinical authors, be-
cause such are, at present, but little used ; and also all books
printed at the theater, because it might be suppos'd that all
such were therein already, at least, they ought to be there.

In this second list, care was taken to secure several scarce
editions of classicks, &c. tho' by that means, some books
which were not at all in the library, were left out; because
these might be easily hereafter bought, or perhaps given : but
those in all probability would not be so soon met with.

The university all along declared, that in consideration of
the manifold services done them by Dr. Bernard, they would
allow the widdow a better price than any body else would
give, or even than the books themselves were worth ; but, in
the mean time, desired not to be unreasonably impos'd upon.
Mr. Millinglon, the bookseller, valued them (this second
list) at 174 : 00 : 00 ; but the university being minded at that
lime to pirt with no more than 150" the widdow had libertv"
to subduct so many books as came to 24" : and being desired
to consider that many of them were too highly valued, and
others unbound, she abated 10'. The following parcell
therefore cost the university 140 : 00 : 00 in Sept. 1097.

It may be noted, that

1. Tho' many of these books are over-much prized, yet
others are valued too little.

2. That scverall books in this catalogue, not subducted by
the widdow, nor prized to the university, yet being laid out
together, came amonsst the rest into the library.

3. "That when several tracts were bound up together, 'twas
sometimes thought advisable to buy the book for the sake
of the tract or tracts which were wanting in the library, tho'
the rest thereby became duplicates.

transactions between tlie university and Mrs. Ber-
nard relative to the purchase of Dr. Bernard's MSS.

4. It is found, that some more books there are in this
catalogue, which were in the library before : this was oc-
casion d by the faults in the printed catalogue, by the want
of opportunity of comparing the bonks together, and by the
knavishness of somebody or other about Mrs. Bernard, in
taking off and changing the numbers of some books bought
by the university : as for instance, Plauius of the first edition
by Georg. Alexandrinus, Ven. 1472, a fair cleju book, in the
large paper, had its number taken off, and put upon another
edition, whereby we had like to have lost the book ; but it
was happily with many others secured in the auction, as they
were selling.

(Then follows the catalogue of the printed books, from
which 1 extract a few articles with Millinglon's valuation,
which may be curious to collectors of the present day.

The university having purchased the foregoing parcell of
books, began to treat with the widdow of the same Dr. Ber-
nard, concerning the manuscripts and books collated with
MSS. which were in a distinct parcell by themselves. Dr.
Bernard, in his life-time, had printed the titles of about 280
of them in the catalogue of his MSS. to which were added,
1. Some other manuscripts which were omitted. 2. His own
writings in 60 books ; and 3. many other books which were
either collated, or had written notes in them, to the number
of about 500 in the whole: for which at first, the widow
asked 300" but afterwards came to 250" which was 10s. a
book, one with another.

It was considered by the university, on the one side, that

1. Here was many oriental manuscripts for which there
was no present occasion in the library.

2. The doctor's own writings were look'd upon as indi-
gested collections, whereof there was but few things finish'd,
or wliai he had put his last hand to.

3. Many of the printed books appeared to be not truely
collated, or to have any material notes or observations in-
serted into them : and consequently, they could not deserve
much above the ordinary price.

Nor was it forgotten on the other hand, that

1. Among the oriental manuscripts some were consider-
able, and highly necessary for the library.

2. The doctor's papers might furnish the student with
many good hints, which might be advantagiously improv'd.

3. As to the books which were not collated with manu-
scripts, or not much illustrated with learned notes; regard
should be had to them, and also to the oriental MSS. and to
the doctor's writings. That is, that not much more should
be given for the whole, than if these were nni there.

4. It was found thai among the manuscripts, many were
of great value, and particularly many Latin classics of the
best note ; of which, there was either no copy at all, or no
accurate copy in the publick library: viz. of Virgil, OTid>
Horace, Manilius, Plautus, Fronlinus, Nonius Marcellus,

and printed books, as
Wanley, and written

drawn up by Humphrey valuation of the several articles : as well as Hearne's
in his own hand before the memoranda of this celebrated writer.*]

&c. Classical authors in manuscript being rare in England,
and ijarticularly in the publick library.

b. It appeared, upon inspection, that these printed books,
whether collated or not, were of rare and choice editions,
and mostly different from what were in the library already.

For which reasons, amongst others, it was resolved by the
delegates of accounts, that the books should be bought, as
accordingly they were, fur the sum of 200" which the widdow
soon after received for them.

Doctor Bernard had been careful to set down the price of
each book (either as it cost him, or as he valued it) upon the
book, somewhere at the beginning : but many of these prices
are (1 know not by whom) either torn, raced, or blotted out.
Upon perusal of the said books, when I took the following
catalogue of them, I put down the price of them, according
to the doctor's valuation, viz. of so many as had the prices
still remaining upon them, and they amount in the whole to
1 88 ; l6 : 0. Notwithstanding many considerable books both
MSS. and printed be not taken in ; as may be easily seen by
the following catalogue.

I can't forbear taking notice, that many of these books as
well printed as MSS. are (to my thinking) but oddly priz'd,
«ome too high, and others too low : tho' 'tis certain the doc-
tor understood books well.

(It is unnecessary to quote the prices of the manuscripts,
since without actual inspection the relative value cannot be
ascertained ; the valuation of some few of the printed books,
with manuscript notes, will be interesting.

WRITERS OF JESUS COLLEGE.

« WILLIAM LLOYD, son of Richard Llovd
bach, of div. rector of Sonning and \'icar of Tyle-
hurst in Berkshire, by Joan Wickins his wife,
was born at Tylehurst in Aug. 1627, and bap-
tized there on the 26th of the same month, edu-
cated in school learning under his father, and at
13 years of age understanding Latin, Greek and
something of Hebrew, was entred a student in
Oriel coll. in Lent term, an. 1639, and in the
year following or therealx)uts became scholar of
Jesus coll. under the tuition of Mr. Hen. Vaughan
mention'd among the writers in the third volume,

bach, of arts, wliicli iH'inp conipleated by deter-
mination, lie left the university, it being then
garrison'd for his majesty's use, and after the
surrender of it to the |)arliainent forces, he took
the degree of master of his faculty, lx"ing then
fellow of the said coil, of Jesus. In 1648 he was
made a deacon bv Dr. Skinner bishop of Oxon,
and afterwards being called into the coimtry to
be tutor to the children of Will. Backhouse of
Swallowfield in Berks, esq; was, upon the ejection
of Dr. Joh. Pordage by the commissioners ap-
pointeil by Oliver, presented to the rectory of
Bradfield in the same county by Elias Ashmole,
es<]; in the latter end of Dec. 1654, he being then
lord of tliat manour in right of his wife : so that
being examined by the tryers apjKiinted by the
said Oliver, and passed with approbation, yet de-
signs being laid against him by Christop. Fowler
and Sim. Ford two presbyterian ministers of
Reading (who endeavoured to bring in Dr. Tho.
Temple) they supjx>sing that sir Humph. Forster
had rigiit of presentation, he thought l)etter to
resign his presentation to Mr. Ashmole, than to
undergo a contest with those busy men. In 1656
he was ordained priest by Dr. Brounrigg bishop
of Exeter, and in the same year went to Wadh.
coll. as governor to Joh. Backhouse, esq; before-
mention'd, who was gent. com. there, and with
him he continued till 1659. In 1660 he was
made prebendary of Rippon, and in July 1666
chapl. to iiis majesty. In 1667 he proceeded
doctor of divinity, became preb. of Woodford and
Willsfonl in the church of Salisbury in Decemb.
1667, and in the year following vicar of S. Mary's
church in Reading, and archdeacon of Merioneth
in which dignity he was installed on the 13th of
June. In 167^, May 3, he was installed dean of
Bangor in the place of Dr. Griff. Williams, who
had kept that dignity many years in commendam
with the see of Ossory, and in 1674 was made re-
sidentiary of Salisbury. In the latter end of 1676
he became vicar of S. Martin's church within the
city of Westminster, upon the promotion of Dr.
Lamplugh to the see of Exeter, and on the third
of Octob. in 1680 he was consecrated bishop of S.
Asaph at Lambeth (in the place of Dr. Is. Bar-
row deceased) by Dr. Sancroft archb. of Canter-
bury, and his assistants, London, Ely, Rochester
and Oxford. On the 8th of June 1688 he was
one of the six bishops, beside Dr. Sancroft archb.
of Cant, that were committed prisoners to the
Tower of London, for contriving, making and
publishing a seditious libel against his majesty
(king James II.) and his government, &c. that
is, for subscribing a petition to his majesty, wherein
he and the rest of the said bishops shewed the
great averseiM?ss that lliey found in themselves, to
thedistributing and i)ublisliing in all their churches
his majesty's late declaration for liberty of con-
science ; where continuing till they were publicly

tried in Westm. hall for the same, were, to the
great joy of the true sons of England, released
thence, on the 15th of the same month. In the
latter end of 1688 he was made lord almoner to
king William III, and about the 20th of Octob.
1692 was translated to the see of Lichfield, vacant
by the death of Dr. Tho. Wood. He is a person
mo.st indefatigable in his industry, and the most
judicious in his observations of any that is known,
and is one of the greatest masters of stile now
living, as a noted " author tells us ; to which I
shall add, that he is an eminent preacher, divine,
critic and historian, a zealous enemy to popery
and papists. His farther character you shall nave
anon, while I tell you what things he hath written
and published, viz.

" Tfie late Apology in Behalf of the Papists re-
printed, and ansicered in Behalf of the Royalists.
Lond. 1667, &c. in 7 sh. in qu. This was an
answer to a pamphlet entit. To all the Royalists
that suffered for his Majesty : and to all the rest
of the good People of England, the humble Apo-
logy (^'the English Catholics. Lond. 1666. in 1
sh. in qu. This pamphlet, which was published
about the 11th of Nov. the same year, was written
by Rog. Palmer earl of Castlemayne, with the
assistance, as 'twas then said, of Rob. Pugh a se-
cular priest, who being diligently enquire<l after,
but not found, and the printer also fled, the
presses were broken by command of the house of
commons. Afterward was written by the same
hand against Dr. Lloyd's pamphlet entit. The
late Apology, &c. another bearing this title, A
Reply to the Ansxver of the Cath. Apol. or, a clear
Vindication of the Catholics of England from all
Matter erf Fact charged against them hy their
Enemies. This was printed at Lond. in Apr.
1668, but just as it was finished most part of it
was seized upon. Soon after the author ordered
a re-impression to be made beyond the sea ; which,
before the end of the year, was publicly sold in
London. Dr. Lloyd hath also written
" A seasonable Discourse shewing the Necessity
of maintaining the established Religion in Oppo-
sition to Popery. Lond. 1674. qu. which came to
a fifth edit, in 1673. This was answered by the
said Roger carl of Castlemayne, sometime a gent,
com. of King's coll. in Cambr. (son of sir James
Palmer kniglit and baronet, of Dornej'-court in
Buckinghamshire, sometime chancellor of the
Garter) in a pamphlet entit. A full Answer and
Carifutation of a scatulalous Pamphlet called A

qu. This answer containeth 3 sheets, two of
which, tho' taken in the press, yet notwithstand-
ing by the 28th of Mar. 1673 they were re-
printed. Afterwards our author Lloyd came out
with,

" soon after came out Observations on the said

" &c. a particular re-capitulation of whatsoever is
[1090] " therein ; so that the answer presently follows, or
" the section of the reply is cited ; in which matters
" are more fully cleared. The whole is dedicated
" to Edw. earl of Clarendon, author of Animadver-
" sions on one of Mr. Hugh Cressy''s books, to
" whom also a postscript at the end is directed. Our
" author Lloyd hath also written,

" T7ie Difference betzoeen the Church and the
" Court of Rome con,ndered, in some Refections on
" a Dialogue entit. A Conference between two Pro-
" testants and a Papist. Lond. 1673. 74. in 5 sh.
" in qu.

'' Considerations touching the true Way to sup-
" press Popery in this Kingdom, Sj-c. on Occasion
" whereof is inserted an historical Account of the
" Reformation here in England. Lond. 1677. qu.
" The Considerations, as also TJie Difference be-
" tween the Ch. and Court of Rome, were severely
" and particularly reflected on by sir Franc. Win-
" nington in his empty flourishing « speech made
" before the lords on the first day's tryal of William
" viscount Stafford, 30 Nov. 1680, (which day was
" wholly taken up in proving a plot in general) as
" treatises purp)sely and designedly wrote sometime
" before the discovery of the popish plot, to recon-
" cile us to, and make us easy towards, popery, by
" way of softning and mollifying preparatories. Our
" author bein^ sensible of this (tlio' his name is not
" set to the said pamphlets, nor would he then own
" them) and highly resenting as a public blot thrown
" on his name and reputation (who always till then
" stood fair in the good opinion of all honest pro-
" testants, by reason of his many and learned books
" against Rome and its cause) took an opportunity
" to clear himself to the same persons (the lords)
" before whom he was charged with a piece of dis-
" service of so weighty and dangerous a consequence
" in the epistle dedicatory of his sermon to the
" house of lords preached 5 Nov. 1680, and pub-
" lishcd just after the said tryal; wherein he saith
" that that design pursued in the discourse entit.

the most knowing and eminent papists, (this he'
manifests clearly out of a letter of Edw. Coleman,
and another of cardinal Howard a little before
that time printed) yet he adds, if that project only
proposed and problematically commended, liad
been really (as he doth not yet apprehend it was)
pernicious to protestancy, this ought not to be
laid to his charge, he being the author only of the
Historical Account of the Reformation, which he
dares to own as most true, and which is just about
half the book. The preface before which, (viz.
the said two treatises) gives an account of their
respective scopes and dnfts, and affirms they were
framed by dificrent hands. But this by the way
I must let the reader know, that tho' he saith so,
and will not own himself in discourse to be the
author of the aforesaid 5 treatises (his name being
not put to them) yet those that knew him well
and are related to him,, have affirmed him to be
the author in my hearing : and some have verily
thought that he wrote Lex Talionis, mentioned
in Dr. Herbert Croft under the year 1691. Our
author Lloyd (whose several tracts against popery
were reprinted in 1689. qu.) is also reflected on
by the author of a pamphlet entit. A Dialogue
(only feigned) between Le Cheise and four Jesuits
concerning their Affairs here in England, upon
the account of his being the supposed author of
the Considerations touching the true Way to
suppress Popery, as also in another book entit.

" He also formerly took much pains in compiling
an History of the Ch. of England, but being
then, and more afterwards, engaged in the service
thereof in a station that afforded him very little
leisure to finish it, he set' Dr. Gilb. Burnet to
write it, and furnished him with a curious collec-

the work of Dr. Burnet may be accounted his, for
besides the materials, he corrected it with a most
critical exactness to the last finishing thereof.

which I met with in any part of this work, I must
acknowledge my self obliged to the continual as-
sistance I have had of my most learned and wor-
thy friend Dr. Will. Lloyd, than whom (so far as
I am able to judge) this nation could not have
afforded a fitter person, either for that great in-
dustry, or accurate judgment both in philolo^cal
and philosophical matters, required to -such a
work. And particularly I must wholly ascribe to
him diat tedious and difficult task of suiting the

WRITERS OF WADHAM COLLEGE.

« WALTER POPE, uterine brother to Dr.
" Joh. AVilkins sometime bishop of Chester, was
" born at Faulstey in Northamptonshire, was first
'' scholar of Wadh. coll. and submitting to the par-
" liamentarian visitation, he was, by the authority
" of the committee sitting in Westm. for the regu-
" lation of the university, admitted prob. fellow of
" the said house 9 July, an. 1651, bemg then bach.
" of arts. Afterwards proceeding in that faculty,
" he entred upon the physic line, but did not take
" any degree m physic regularly, and in 1658 he
" became one of the proctors ot the university ; in
" the latter end of which year obtaining leave to
" travel, or rather to be absent for the avoiding the
" making of a speech, which he was to do before
" he resigned up his office, Mr. Tho. Gourney of
" Brasen-n. coll. was his substitute for the remain-
" ing part of the year, and made an eloquent speech
" in the natural philosophy school, on the last Sa-
" turday of Lent term, commonly called Absolution
" Saturday. At the king's restoration he turned
" about, as many, who had submitted to the pres-
" byterians and mdependents, did, kept his fellow-
" ship for a time, was actually created doct. of phys.
" in 1661, he being then or about that time astro-
" nomy professor of Gresham coll. in the place of
" Dr. Christoph. Wren, and a fellow of the royal
" society. Al'ter his said brother Dr. Wilkins be-
" came bishop of Chester, he made him his regis-
" trary for that diocese, which I think he keeps to
" this day (1693). After he was settled in his pro-
" fessorship, he spent ' much time in observing the
" niotions and appearances of the heavens; the re-
" suit of which he did afterwards deliver in his as-
" tronomical lectures read in Gresham coll. which
" was hoix-'d by my author here quoted, that he
" might t)e prevailed with to make public, but as
" yet they are not. This person who leads an epi-
" curcan and heathenish life, much like to that of
" Dr. John Donn the son, hath written several fri-
" voloiis things, which must according to tiie method
" that I have hitlierto observed be put down, tho'
" rather fit to be buried in oblivion with the author,

' may be pleased to note, that the said Mon. Du
' Vail, whose Christian name was Claude, and his
' birth in Normandy, had been a notorious high-
' way-man in England, and having been a brisk,
' smart, gay, and handsome fellow, and of about

■ 27 years of age when he was hang'd at Tyburn

• (which was on the 21st of January 1669) did
' draw the loves of many females in liondon to-

■ wards him : Among which was the miss of our

■ author Pope, who taking it in great indignation

• that his person, doctorship and merits, should be

■ so slighted for the sake ot an ignorant rogue ; he

■ did therefore write the said Memoirs, wherein are
' many satyrical girds against the females. Soon
' after came out a little thing cntit. To the Memory
' of the mast renowned Du Vail. A Pindaric Ode.

Lond. 1671 in 2 sh. in qu. Said in the title to

' be written by the author of Hudibras (viz. Sam.

' Butler) but by some curious persons then in

' being, it was judged not to be his. Quaere. Dr.

Pope hath also written,

" The Catholic Ballad: or, the Invitation to
' Popery, upon considerable Grounds and Reasons.
' Lond. 1674, printed in an Engl. char, on one
' side of a broad sheet. Soon after, viz. in Oct.
1674. came out an answer to that ballad, or a
ballad written in opposition to it, entit. The Ge-
neva Ballad said to be written by one Griffin

a minister. Dr. Pope liath also written
" Rome for a Ballad : or, a Ballad Jbr Rome :
Being a Continuation of the Cath. Ballad in-
viting to Popery, &c. — This or the Cath. Ballad,
or both, were put into Latin verse, that rhimed,
as I have heard, but they were not made public.
Dr. Thd. Tully was thought by some knowing
persons of St. Edm. hall, to have had a consider-
able hand in that translation.

" The Salisbury Ballad This was a satyr

written against Seth bishop of Sals, for depriving
him of his miss, which caused a difference between
them for a time ; but this I have not yet seen.
" The Old.man''s Wi.'ih, a ballad— printed 1684.
" The additional Part to the Old-mail's Wish.

This, which went about the great city in

manuscript, runs thus.

May I live far from Tories and Whigs of ill na-

" ture.
But farthest of all from a sly Ol)servator :
May I neVr live .so long, as to write for my bread.
And never write longer than wise men will read.

" These I say were dispersed about tlic city of
London in Nov. 1685, king Jam. 11. being then

' in the throne, and many being pleased with them,
' they were sent to sir Ilog. L'estrange, the author
' of certain Mercuries called The Observator to be
' licensed. Whereupon in his Observator, vol.
' III. numb. 126, which came out on the 9th of
' January 1685, we have this account dialogue-
' ways between Trimmer and Obsenator, concem-

' ing those verses. ' Trimmer. Pray hark ye

' a little, before we part yet. How chance you
' would not license Mr. what d'ye caH'ums poems ?
' The town is so full on't, that there is a little paper
' of verses given out against ye in the coffee-houses,
' and upon the Exchange, like a play-ticket : And
' they say 'tis in revenge for not licensing those
' verses. There are only four of 'em, but they '

' are dev'lish bitter ; as for example May I

' live, &c.

" ' Observator. The answer to the first couplet
' is short. The farther off", the better, for I hate
' doggrel, as much as he does dialogue : And for
' his two last verses, tlie Wish came too late, for
' (if I do not mistake the man) he's under both
' those curses already. Writing for bread, are
' words of course ; and a trade, I find, that he'll

• make but a sorry living of. And then for wise
' men's not reading my papers, I do not desire they

■ should. For ray business lyes more among fools

■ than philosophers. The story is most damnable

• false, but the honest truth on't is this. One Gib-

■ son, formerly a footboy to a gentleman of my ac-

• quaintance, brought me some of my old master's

• verses to license. I was afraid that he might have

■ stoH'n 'em, and therefore told him, that it could
' not be done, without some note from the author,

• of his consent to the printing of them. In return

' to this civility, I received a letter with a kind of
a maggot in't, upon Trimmer and Swimmer (and

' I can't tell what) to be tack'd (as I conceive) to
an old ballad. Now this whimsey took air, I
perceive, and serv'd some retainer, perhaps, to a
band of London fiddles, for a conceit to work
upon. This is the bottom of the matter : And
all, not worth one dash of a pen, but that the
poet has a mind to be public, and would needs

take a turn in an Observator.' Dr. Pope hath

also written

" The Wish. Lond. 1693. in one sheet in fol. 'tis

there called Doctor Pope''s Wish, being the only

correct and finish 'd copy, never before printed.

The beginning of this Wish is, ' If I live to be

old,' &c. He hath translated into English or

paraphras'd

SPRAT.

728

" THOMAS SPRAT, a minister's son, was
" born at Tallaton in Devonshire, entred a coni-
" moniT of Wadhani coll. in 1651, admitted stliolar
" thereof iJo Sept. in tlic year followinjr, aged 17
•' years, took tlie degrees of arts, became fellow, and
" a great admirer of Dr. Wiikins his warden. Dr.
" S. Ward, Dr. R. Bathurst, Mr. Ch. Wren, &c.
" After the restoration of king Charles II. he turned
" about with the virtuosi, took the sacretl function
" on him, became successively fellow of the royal
" society, chaplain to George duke of Buckingham,
" to the king in ordinary, doctor of divinity, pre-
" bendary of Westminster, minister of St. Mar-
" garet's church in that city, prebendary of Wind-
" sor in the place of Rich. Milward deceased, (in
" which dignity he was installed 14 January IGSO)
" dean of Westminster, in the room of Dr. Jo. Dol-
" ben bishop of Rochester, promoted to the archi-
" episcofwd see of York, in which dignity Dr. Sprat
" was installetl 21 Sept. 1683, bishop of Rochester
" upon Dr. Fr. Turner's translation thence to Ely,
" to which see he was consecrated at Lambeth 2
" Nov. 1684, and installed on the 27th of the same
" month, sworn clerk of the closet to his majesty
" king James II. in the place of Dr. N. Crew, made
" dean of the chappel royal, on the 29th of Dec.
" 1685, and in the next year he became one of the
" commissioners for ecclesiastical affairs, for which
'' he incurred the censure of many good men, that
" were accounted true sons of the church of Eng-
" land, who then esteemed him to be one of those
" forward persons that endeavoured to please the
" humour of that king, but left them about the 15th
" of Aug. 1688, when then he saw that they were
" resolved to proceed against those ministers of
" God's word, who would not comply with the
" king's command for the reading his declaration in
" all churches for liberty of conscience. He was an
110971 " excellent ])oet, orator, and one who hath arrived
" to a great mastery of the English language, of
" terse, neat, and spruce parts, a commanding and
" eloquent j)reacher. The first thing that he pub-
" lishctl, which made him known to some by the
" name of Pindaric Sprat, was a pindaric poem
" entit.

" Tlie Plague of Athens, which liapned in the
" Pchpenne.mm War. Lond. 1659. qu. there again
" 1676 in 3 sh. in oct. &c. 'Twas first describ'd in
" Greek by Thucydides, then in Latin by Lucretius,
" and since attempted in English by our author
" after incomparable Mr. Cowley's Pindaric way.
" He wrote also,

" A Poem on tlie Death of his Highness Oliver
" late Lord Protectw. I^oncl. 1659. reprinted with
" poems on the same subject, written by John Dry-
" den, and Edmund Waller of Beconsneld — Lond.
" 1682. qu. The writing of this poem, caused a
" certiun * author (who was threatned to have his

• " Hen. Slulibe in his Reiity unto I he Letter nfU. Slubie
'• in Qefence of The Hist, of the Itvijal Soc. p. 31."

" life written by the royal society) to break out in

" these expressions ' I shall not have any Pin-

" daric ode in the press, dedicated to the happy
" memory of the most renowned prince Oliver, lord
" protector : nothing to recommend the sacred urn
" of that blessed spirit to the veneration of posterity,
« as if

" His fame hke man, the elder it doth grow
" Will of it self turn whiter too,
" Without what needless art can do.

!

" I never compared that regicide to Moses, or his
" son to Joshua, when other men's flatteries did
" exorbitate, you will find my resentments for tlie
" church of England to have been of another na-
" ture,' &c.

" Dr. Sprat hath also written

" The History of the Royal Society of London,
"Jbr the improving of natural Knowledge — Lond.
" 1667. in 3 parts in qu. A full and large account
" of this Ixxjk you may see in the Philosophical
" Transactions, an. 16o7. numb. 27. and its ccn-
" sure in a book written by Hen. Stubbe, who else-
" where ' calls it a nonsensical and illiterate history ;
" that there be* many illiterate passages in it, tliat
" the credit of our nation seemed concern'd in the
" refuting it, &.c. But notwithstanding that foul
" character, the book has been deservedly reported
" that it is jicn'd in so very fine, neat and graceful
" a stile, as that some account it to be one of the
" most exact pieces for curiousness and delicacy of
" language, that was ever yet extant in our tongue,
" &c. It is I think translated into French.

" Observations on Monsietir de Sorbier''s Voyage
" i7ito England, I^ond. 1668. oct. written by way
" of letter to Dr. Chr. Wren, professor of astronomy
" in the univ. of Oxon, occasion'd by an insolent
" libel on oar nation, written by one Sam. Sorbiere,
" who stiles himself historiographer royal to the
" king of France, but ori^nally no more than a
" pedagogue ; who taking a voyage into England,
" an. 1660, drew it upat nis return into a discourse,
" much derogatory to the renown and credit of our
" nation, and in the year 1664, publish'd it in oct.
" under this title, Relatimi Vnn Voyage en Angle-
" terrc ; concerning which book and our author's
" (Sprat) Observations on it, you may see more in
" Dr. Job. Durel's book entit. Vitidicice Eccles. An-
" gUcancE, cap. 1. p. 20. There is also an answer
" to it written in French, published by Job. Maxi-
" milian Lucas, (at Amsterd. 1657) dedicated to
" John duke of Lauderdale, but mostly taken from
" Dr. Sprat's answer, who hath also written

" a fortnight before James duke of Monmouth
" landed with his rebels at Lyme, which was on the
" eleventh of June 1685. Soon after came out an-
" other edit, with one or two cuts in it. Some time
" after the overthrow and execution of the said duke,
" king James II. required our author Sprat to un-
" dertake such another task, and presently to set
" about a second part : And to that purpose his
*' majesty gave him a sight of multitudes of original
" letters and papers, together with the confessions
" of several persons then in England and Scotland ;
" who did seem all to outvye one another, who
" should reveal most, both of men and things re-
" lating to the old conspiracy, as well as to the duke
" of Monmouth's and tlie earl of Argyle's invasion.
" But finding the ' innocence of divers persons of
" worth and honour touched in those papers, and
" by that time beginning vehemently to suspect
" things were running apace toward the endanger-
*' ing of our laws, and religion, he never could be
" induced by all his majesty's reiterated commands

" Sedley has that prevailing, gentle art,
" That can with a resistless charm impart
" The l(X)sest wishes, to the chastest heart
" Raise such a conflict, kindle sucii a fire,
" Betwixt declining virtue and desire ;
" Till the poor vanquished maid dissolves away
" In dreams all night, in sighs and tears all
" day.

" In the month of June 1663 this our author sir
" Ch. Sedley, Charles lord Buckhurst (afterwards
" earl of Middlesex) sir Tho. Ogle, &c. were at a
" cook's house at the sign of the Cock in Bow-street
" near Covent-garden, within the liberty of Westra.
" and being innam''d with strong liquors, they went
" into the balcony belonging to that house, and
" putting down their breeches they excrementiz'd
"^ in the street : which being done, Sedley stripped
" himself naked, and with eloquence preached blas-
" phemy to the people : whereupon a riot being
" raised, the people became very clamorous, and
" would have forced the door next to the street
" open ; but being hindred, the preacher and his
" company were pelted into their room, and the
" windows belonging thereunto were broken. This
" frolick being soon spread abroad, especially by
" the fanatical party, who aggravated it to the ut-
" most, by making it the most scandalous thing in
" nature, and nothing more reproachful to religion
" than that; the said company were summoned to the
" court of justice in Westminster-hall, where being
" indicted of a riot before sir Rob. Hyde, lord chief
" justice of the common pleas, were all fined, and
" sir Charles being fined 500/. he made answer, that
" he thought he was the first man that paid for
" shiting. Sir Rob. Hyde asked him whetlier ever
" he read the book called The Compleat Gentleman,
" &c. to which sir Charles made answer, that set
" aside his lordship, he had read more books than
" himself, &c. The day for payment being ap-
" pointed, sir Charles desired Mr. Henry Killegrew,
^' and another gent, to apply themselves to his ma-
^' jesty to get it off; but instead of that, they beg'd
" the said sum of his majesty, and would not abate
" sir Charles two pence of the money. Afterwards
f sir Charles taking up, and growing very serious,
" he was chosen a recruiter of that long-parliament
" which began at Westminster 8 May 1661, to serve
" for New-Rumney in Kent, as he hath been for 3
" or more parUaments since the dissolution of that,
" which was on the 24th of Jan. 1678. The plays

" 1548, (2 Edvv. VI. from which king he received
*' the honour of knighthood) was born at Limington
" in the south parts of Hampshire, in September
" 1638, educated mostly in grammar learning at
" Dorchester in Dorsetshire under Sam. Crunil)le-
" holme (afterwards master of Paufs school) became
" commoner of Wadham coll. under the tuition of
" Mr. Dan. Eseot, in the latter end of October 1656,
'•' took the degrees in arts, entred on the physic
" line, exercised himself much in anatomy, and had
" some practice in these parts. In 1666 he was
" admitted bach, of physic, and in the year after
" settling in the city of Bath, where he received en-
" couragemcnt in his profession from a noted phy-
" sician of that place, called Dr. John INLnplet, he
" became an eminent practitioner there and in the
" neighbourh<x)d for a time ; but his practice de-

" London, lived and practised there, and in the

" summer months at Bath. In 1671 he performed
" his exercise at Oxon for the degree of doctor of

" He is a iK-rson of giwd parts, well vers'd in Greek
" and Latm learning, and intelligent in his profes-

" conceit and pride, that he is in a manner somc-
" times crazed, especially when his blood is heated
" by too much bibbing. In 1664, or thereabouts,
" he being then very forward to obtain the art of
" anatomy, he was invited to go to Copenhagen in
" Denmark, under the protection and patronage ot
" Hannibal Slestade, then ambassador to the king
" of Great Britain from Frederick III. king of
" Denmark, to improve himself, and become a pro-
" ficient under Tho. Bartholine, the most eminent
" anatomist of his time, and on the 21st of Novem-

WRITERS OF PEMBROKE COLLEGE.

" JOHN HUMPHREY, son of William Hum-
phrey of St. Albans in Hertfordshire, was boni
m that county, entred a student of Pembroke
coll. in Lent term 1638, aged 16 years, took the
degrees of bach, of arts 1641, left the university
about the time that it, with the city of Oxon, was
to be garrison'd for the use of his majesty king
Charles L and became ' an episcopal man in De-
vonshire. Afterwards taking the degree of M. of
A. in 1647, took orders from the presbytery, and
became vicar of Fromc-Selwood in Somersetshire.
Upon the restoration of king Charles II. he was
re-ordainVl by the bishop of B. and Wells, for
which act, and his two lx)oks of ro-ordination,
being clamour"'d at by the brethren, he drew up a
Latin memorial, (bemg a retraction of what he
had submitted to in this point) which is in his
Healing Paper, p. 25. to satisfy posterity in what
sense he allowed himself to be re-ordain'd, viz.
' non ad ministerii officium, sed ad ejus officium
particulare,' and how he would behave himself in
his ministry thereupon. He left his cure upon
the coming out of the act of conformity, anno
1662, being succeeded therein by Jos. Glanvill,
and became ^ a congregational man in London,
and the most moderate non-conformist of all the
brediren, who, tho' they value themselves above
him, (as ' one saith) yet it is to be wished, that
they would learn of him moderation, notwith-
standing some defaults in his projjosids for con-
cord and coalition are discovered, as they are laid
down in his preparatory bill of accommodation,
and in other treatises, out of which that bill was
taken. A noted author < siiitli, that he is ' vir
ahcujus nominis at<jue existiniationis apud sanioris
sineipitis presbytenanos, nee eruditionis contem-
nendse, ut a glorioso milite commemoratur," &c.

" 01 the year 1679, but being prorogued it was laid
" a.side, till Dr. Stillingfleet's sermon (The Mis-
"■' chief of Separation) coming out, 'twas thought
" seasonable to lie published : and because the
" charge of schism mamtained in that sermon against
" the fanatics did chiefly concern the ix-ople, (when
" only the ministers were vindicated in the first
" edition against such a charge) the first sheet was
" printed over again on purpose, and the doctor
" named ; forcing, by this means, all ' the other
" sheets also to bear their share in answering the
" doctor's sermon, (altho' they were printed, some
" time before it came forth) and so, by a strange
" kind of violence offer'd to them, hal'd in to act

" questions astrologically. At length coming ac-
" cidentally into the company of Will. Lilly the
" a.strologcr, anno 1640, seeing him give judgment
" in a figure then set, he was so taken with the ex-
" cellency of it, that he forthwith gave Mr. Lilly
" 40/. (tho' an hundred was required) to teach him
" that, and improve him farther in his art ; which
" he did accordingly. While they were at supper
" together, at which time Humphrey paid Lilly 35/.

" instantly acquainted him how he should discover
" the moles or marks of his client. Afterwards
" Humphrey did set his figure, and instantly dis-

" him, he became a judicious person, and laborious
" in his profession, yet vain-glorious, loquacious,
" fool-hardy, and especially desirous of all secrets
" which he knew not, insomuch that he would have

Phillips, who having early imbilVd in a most plen-
tiful manner the rankest antimonarchical prin-
ciples, from that villanous leading incendiary Joh.
Milton his uncle, but not in any university, proved
in a short time so notable a proficient in his bloody
school of king-killing, that he judged himself sufc
ficiently qualified publicly to engage in and es-
pouse his master's quarrel : and this he did in his
Miltoni Defensio^ &c. In which scurrilous piece,
as he acquitted himself very expertly in the art of
raillery and giving imbitter'd language, so would
he persuade us to believe that Dr. Joli. Bramhall
then bishop of Derry wrote the Apol. pro Rege Sf
Populo Anglicano ; against which he scolds and
frets so much in his Defensio Miltoni, tho' upon
far shallower grounds than his uncle had before
charged Alex. More, as being author of Regit
Sanguinis Clamor ad Caelum. Some time after
this, having seemingly removed his former prin-
ciples, he appeared against the fanatics in some
small pieces ; among which was his Satyr against
Hypocrites, a smart thing, published before his
majesty's restoration,* and afterwards in 1671. in
qu. and in 1680 in 3 sh. in qu. The other things
that he hath written are mostly these, (1) Monte-

tlie said popi.sh plot broke out, Joh. Phillips fell
back to his old road, struck in with the disaffected

very well to have little or no religion, yet many
times he would squirt out little lying pamphlets

into which Mr. Godwin has fallen, atid which has led him
to bestow considerable praise upon John Phillips, to which,
in the present instance, he certainly had no claim. The
publisher of the Voyage into the Indies, or as it is more pro-
perly called, in another title, of .<4 short Description of all the
Kingdoms which encompass the Eurine and Caspian Seas,
prefixes a ' preface containing several remarkable observations
concerning divers of the fore-mentioned countries,' and in
this preface he mentions A Discourse concerning the Begin-

[Edward Phillips probably died between the years the World of Word^ appeared with Edward Phil-
16J)6 and 1698; in tlie former the fifth edition of lips's name in the title as the author, and in 1698

nines and Progress rflhe Turkisli and Tartarian Nalions and
Empires, which he professes lo have lone ago wriilcii, and
nrobahly may speedily publish. Now Mr. Godwin, sup-
posing Phillips the publisher of this latter |>ortion of the
volume, ascribes of course this pieface to him, gives him
credit for the composition of the Discourse already wiilten
and hereafter to be published, and contemplates with great
respect a man who, as he says, ' having undertaken no task,
ami being imposed on by no necessity, performs a great
literary labour for the pure love of the occupation in which
he is engaged.' But the fact is, Phillips was not the writer
of the preface in question, nor was he the author of the pro-
mised Discourse. Dr. Cox a physician of eminence, a man
of learning, and an author, was the publisher of this part of
the book, and to him the preface is to be attributed, Mr.
Godwin was in all probability misled by referring to a copy
of Tavernier's Voyages with a title-page dated in 1678, in
which Dr. Cox's name as publisher was omitted, possibly in
order to vary the title, and so impose it upon the world as a
new book. I merely state this circumstance to correct Mr.
Godwin's narrative, which now contains an error that would
not have appeared if that gentleman had met with both the
title-pages to the book in question. They are in the Bod-
leian, and in St. John's college library.

' To the reader.
' The book now presented to thee, kind reader, w^as writ-
ten some few weeks ago in French by a god-son to the most
Christian king, and one that had been a secretary of an em-
bassy of his majesty at Constantinople. Ii wi;s dedicated to
the grand-duke of Tuscany, and met with so very kind a re-
ception at the courts of France and Florence, that the author
had extraordin.try praises and presents conferred upon him
by the two sovetaigns, and this his performance has an uni-
versal vogue among the two nations. As the translator
flatters himself he has done the original justice; and as no
countrey is more fam'il than old England for hospitality, he
does not question but the Turkish Secretary will meet with
as kind treatment here as among the French and Italians.
He has, at least, the charm of novelty. All our other re-
lations concerning Turkey, treat only of policy, fire and
sword, whereas this displays nothing but flowers, fruits and
gallantries, which I should think most seasonable : so that 1
may well expect it to be kindly taken. And as a long grace

to a good meal and appetite is unmannerly : so gracious
reader, adieu.' At the end of the pamphlet is a single leaf
containing ' An advertisement. Modern History, or a
Monthly Account of all considerable Occurrences, civil, ec-
clesiastical, and military. Kight of these Monthly Accounts
have already been publisli'd and the ninth is in the press, and
they are to be had for sixpence a-piece, &c. besides their

with tracts of geography, criticism, and generally all that
falls within the commonwealth of learning ; as, for example,
the foregoing Turkish Secretary being to be bound up with
them.' •

thought adviseable to render the work more compleat by

[Robert Plot was the son of a father of Ixjth his
names by Rebecca Patenden, his wife, widow of
Edward Knight of Woodnesbury.* The family
were settled at Stockbury in the reign of Edward
IV., and became possessed of Sutton Banie in the
second of Elizabeth, by purchase from William
Cromer, esq. made by Robert the son of Alexander
Plot : * which Robert was succeeded by his son and
heir Robert Plot, a captain of the militia for the
county of Kent,' who died April 20, 1669, ast. 63
leaving a son and heir, Robert, born in 1641.

To what Wood has already related of this cele-
brated naturalist, we may add, that about 1676 he
left Magdalen hall, and entered as a commoner at
University college.*

Upon the decease of Dr. James, the warden of
All-souls college, in 1686, he made apphcation to
the earl of Peterborough and sir Edward Hales,
who had then a great influence upon king James
II. to be nominated warden of that house, but was
prevented by a previous promise made to Mr. Leo-
pold William Finch, who obtained the wardenship.

August 21, 1690, Plot married Rebecca, widow
of Henry Burman, by whom he had two sons, Ro-
bert and Ralph Sherwood Plot." Besides the offices
already recorded by Wood, Dr. Plot was, in 1688,
appointed historiographer royal ; in 1694 Mowbray
herald extraordinary, and in the same year register
of the court of honour. He died at the age of 55,
April 30, 1696, at Sutton Barne, and was buried
in the church of Borden, where there is a handsome
monument erected to his memory, with an inscrip-
tion, that is printed in the second edition of the Nat,
Hist, of Oxfordshire, in the Biographia Britannica,
and in the Gentleman'' s Magazine : tne rough draught
of which, with Dr. Chanett's corrections, will be
found in the Bodleian, MS. Ballard xiv. 43.

One of Plot's designs in order to promote a know-
ledge of the history and antiquities of his country,
was to make a survey in person of the whole of
England and Wales. For Uiis jiurpose, and to
explain the nature and intention of his plan, he
drew up a very interesting letter to bishop Fell,
which has been printed by Hearne in the appendix
to vol. 2 of Leland's Itinerary, by Hearne, and re-
printed in Shaw's Hist, of Staffordshire. He pro-
posed to follow the example of Leland and Camden,
searching for and coUectmg all antiquities, records
and customs; and to tliis he mtended to add a diligent
survey into the natural history of the country, with
whatever was remarkable, and deserving of notice or
preservation. '

Dr. Plot had drawn up a list of his manuscripts

Curll 1714 8vo. pa^je 43, is A Copy of a Letter from Robert
Plotl L-L.D. dcsign'd to be sent to the Royal Society in
iiondon. This has been reprinted in the first volume of
Michols's BibliothecaTopagraphica Brilannica, pageO'J, and
has been attribnted to Plott by the writers of his life in va-
rious places. He had however no claim to the authorship.
The original letter is now among Dr. Rawlinson's collections
in the Bodleian (miscell. SQO.) and the fabrication of Ploti's
name must be ascribed to the Dr. who was editor, or rather
the collector, of Curll's Miscellanies. The original letter was
written by some person to his father, and the vvriier after de-
siring his duly to his mother and grandmother, his love to his
brother and sister, and some doubts whether his money would
hold out to carry him home, signs himself a ' moste obedient
son." The latter part of the letter Dr. RawHiison has
omitted, and altering the word son to servant has compleatly
erased the name and substituted the initials R. P. Why
he should have been guilty of so unnecessary a forgery. Is
not easy to determine ; unless he fancied Plott's name of
greater celebrity than that of the real author, and adopted it
acc<irdingly to give credit to his book. I may add, that in
the same volume (390) will be found a fragment of a Kentish
tonr in the same hand-writing as that of the letter just men-
tioned, which differs from the usual style of Dr. Plolt as

Dr. Plot in 1693 took journey through the counties of
Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridge. In a letter to Dr. Char-

of his nation, that he seeks them with some eagerness, and
will (as he lells me) spend a whole month every summer in
the prosecution of them.' MS. Ballard, in bibl. Bodl. vol.

for ])reparing l)ooks for the press, I think they will

s [Ed. I.hwyd, Dr. Plot's successor in the museum, gives
a very indiflVreiit character of him in a letter 10 Dr. Martin
Lister, now preserved in the Ashmolean. ' I think he is a
man of as bad morals as ever took a doctor's degree. \ wish
his wife a good bargain of him, and to myself, that I may
never meet with the like again. In requiiall of my attend-
ance at the museum this last year, he allow'd me six pounds
seven shillings, and two Historys of Stafl'ordshire, out of 34
pounds I received and payd him, all except three pound ten
shillinas wheieof he made me give him a note. He has sold
and sent to London all his houshould slufle, even to an old
brasse candle-tick, tongues, tinder-box and fire-fork. Lately
at London he booght an Arabick monument, and told Mr.
Ashmnle he had purchas'd it to bestow on the nniseimi, and
which indeed he has sent down, and told me, I must enter it
in the book of donations as his gift ; but when I was with
him at the vice-chancellor's, I saw the vice-chancellor pay
him the money he layd out for it, and render him thanks for
his care therein. But enough of Dr. Plot at present, and for
the future.']

of Pembroke, first commissioner of the admiralty)
lyes yet before me, wanting only transcribing.' Feb.
IG, 1G91-2. — ' Your's of the 9th inst. was very wel-
come to me, tho' it brought proposalls never like to
be answer'd by me, especially that of publishing a
select volume of MSS. out of the musa;um, or a
new edition of Pliny's Nat. Hist, either of which
would be works agreeable enough to me ; but where
can they possibly be well done, but at Oxford, which
I have now left, and cannot returne without a fa-
mily, which here is no charge to me, but would be
a great one there. What may be done in the spring
towards a nat. hist, of Middlesex and Kent, I can-
not yet fully resolve you, but believe that if Har-
rington can make good what he seems not to doubt,
those will be the provinces I shall endeavour to
adorne.' In another letter dated Mar. 26, 1694,
he says he has waited on Mr. Bridgman upon the
subject of Middlesex, and that gentleman promises
to use his best endeavours with the lord mayor, al-
dermen, and sheriffs of London ; he continues ' If
these attempts are successful, I shall enter upon
the work forthwith ; if not, returne again to Kent,
and there spend the remainder of my life in plant-
ing, &c. which I hope will be something better than
sitting still and doeing nothing Jhnr nothing.'' In
a further letter dated August 2, 1694, he informs
Dr. Charlett, ' I think we shall now at last have a
Natural History of London and Middlesex ; Mr.
Bridgman has procured me the subscrijjtions of most
of the privy councill, also of the lord maior, and
most of the aldermen, most of which have subscribed
ten, and none under five, pounds.' ' These hopes
however were frustrated, as appears from another
letter dated in January 1696. — ' My designe of
comcing was partly to trye what further encourage-
ment I could get toward the Hist, of Middlesex,
but here I find affaires so very much perplext, that
I see little hopes of proceeding in it, insomuch that
I am fully resolved, that in case I receive not a
fairer prospect in a little time, to returne that little
money I have collected toward it (which was rather
thrust upon me than received) to the respective
persons from whom I received it, and so totally to
desist.'

This dread of a want of sufficient patronage
seems to have been verified, and he once more re-
turned to a life of rural pursuits. In one of his
letters he says, ' I have now left London, and have
set up my staff here, (at Borden) where I think to
shake hands with the world, and trouble it no more
with natural histories, or any thing else. I have
here a little cottage, with a little land belonging to
it, which I hope I may be able to manage myself,
and get enough out of it to feed my little family,
which was the condition of Aglaus Pausidius who,
as Pliny tells us, the oracle pronounced the happiest
man in Greece. But my happiness will not ocgin

WRITERS OF NEW-INN HALL.

« GEORGE LAWRENCE, son of George
Lawrence of Stepney near London, was bom m
the county of Middlesex, became a com. of New-
Inn, an. 1632, aged 17 years, took the degrees in
arts, but whether holy orders from a bishop I
cannot tell. Sure it is that he being a most
violent puritan and a great admirer of the Scotch
covenant, preached seditiously in these parts, but
more especially at London upon the breaking out
of the rebellion in 1642, at which time he was
lecturer of S. George's church in Buttolph lane
by Little East-Cheap. Afterwards he took the
covenant, was a preaclier in another church in
London, became minister of the hospital of S.
Cross near Winchester, carried on the trade of
preaching there against the afflicted king and the
royalists, and was not wanting on all occasions to
preach up and applaud the men and actions of
those times. After his majesty's restoration, he
was silenc'd and ejected, lived some time in those
parts, carried on tlie trade of conventicling, as he
did afterwards at London to the time of his death.
He hath written,
" Laurentius Lutherizans : or, his Protestation

" against certain Calunmiations aspersed on him
" Im the corrupt Clergy and their Lay-Proselytes,
"Jor some Particulars delivered i7i two Sermons at
" S. Michaers Cornhill, and elsewhere concerning
" our national Protestation, &c. Loud. 1642. m
" one sh. in qu.

" The debauched Cavalier : or, the English Mi-
" dianite : wherein are compared by Way of Pa-
" rallel the Carriage or rather Miscarriage of the
" Cavaliers, &c. Lond. 1 642. which pamphlet, tho'
" it is but one sh. in qu. yet he had an assistant in
" drawing it up, and who should that be but liis
" dear brother Christoph. Love, as I have told you
" elsewhere.

" Several sermons, as (1) Three Sermons con-
" cerning the National Pi-otestation ; when printed
" I cannot tell. (2) Peplum Olivarii : or, a good
" Prince bewailed by a good People, preached on
" the l&h of Oct. 1658, upon the Death of Oliver
" late Lord Protector ; mi 2 Chron. 35. 24. Lond.
" 1658. qu. (3) Sermon on 1 Cor. 11. 23, 24, 25.

" This is the 21st sermon in The Morning

" Exercise against Popery, &c. Lond. 1675. qu.
" To which, tho' the name of Mr. Lawrence lie
" only set, yet I take it to be the sermon of George
" Lawrence before mentioned. He hath written
" other things, but which I have not yet seen. The
" reader may be pleased now to know, that whereas
" there hath been a common report, that Mr. Rich.
" Baxter the late pride of the presbyterian party
" was bred at New-Inn, while Christoph. Love and
" the said George Lawrence studied there (which I
" suppose arose upon account of the studying there
" of one Steph. Baxter, the minister's son of Little
" Wenlock in Shropshire, and who proceeded in
" arts in 1642) I did therefore send a letter to him
" to know the truth of the matter : upon the re-
" ceipt of which, he very civilly retum'd me this
" answer, ' As to myself, my faults are no disgrace
" to any university, for I was of none, and have
" little but what I had out of books and inconsidcr-
" able helps of country tutors. Weakness and pain
" help'd me to study how to dye, that set me on
" studying how to live, and that set me on studying
" the doctrine from which I must fetch my motives
" and comforts: and beginning with necessaries, I
" proceeded to the lesser integrals bv degrees, and
" now am going to see that which I nave hved and
" studied for,' &c.

« JOSIAS PLEYDELL, the minister's son of
" Stroud in Gloc. was born in that county, entred
" a student of Brasen-n. coll. the 9th of July 1659,
" aged 15 years, being then put imder the tuition
" of Mr. Rich. Duckworth. Afterwards he trans-
" lated himself to New-Inn, took one degree in arts,
" holy orders, and then administered his function in
" his own country. Afterwards he became minister
"of S. Peter's church in Bristol, where being a

there printed for tliat year : And because of the

novelty of the said almanac, and its title, they

were all vended. But the printing of it being a

great hindrance to the sale of other almanacs, the

society of booksellers in London bought off the

' copy for the future ; so only a sheet almanac

' wrought oiF from a copper cut was afterwards by

' the curators of Sheldon's press printed, which con-

' tinues yearly to this day. Several things in the

WRITERS OF S. EDMUND'S HALL.

" NICHOLAS GIBBON, sou of a father of

" m 1689, at which time he had been rector of
" Sevenock in Kent seven years. Afterwards, when
" the rebellion broke out, he suffered much for the
" king's cause, lived sometimes in Oxon, and somc-
" times beyond the seas. When king Charles I.
" was in the isle of Wight, an. 1647, he, with re-
" ference to the point of church-government, sent
" for our author Dr. Gibbon to come to him : where
" he did so well acquit himself, to the satisfaction
" of his majesty by his answers to such questions
" that were tlien proposed, that his majesty thence-
" forth had a fair esteem for him. After the rc-
" storation of king Charles II. he became rector of
" Corf castle in the isle of Purbeck in the said
" county of Dorset. He hath written,

mastersliip of Merchant-Taylors school, at which
time the great and factious city was possessed by
tlic restless nonconforming ministers, of tlie sud-
den introduction of popery among them. Of
which matter hear what a certain « author saith

' The reason why the reforming zeal of Dr.

Joh. Owen was so active in Mr. Goad's ruin, was
for the introduction of his sister's son Mr. J.
Hartchft'e into his place, a person undoubtedly
not unworthy the preferment, for having once
heroically attempted to preach before his late ma-
jesty (king Charles II.) and not being able to
utter one word of liis sermon, he descended from
the pulpit as great an orator as he went up,
treating his majesty with no other entertainment
than a silent meeting.' About that time Mr.
HartclifFe became bach, of div. and in Oct. 1689,
doctor of that faculty by actual creation, and is
now (1694) canon of Windsor. He hath written,

consideration of his ereat losses sustained in that
kingdom by the rebellion that a little before that
time broke out : the revenues of wliich, tho'' nuich
abate<l by the Scotch and English aniiies quarter-
ing there, as also by the unhappy wars that soon
after followed in England, yet he made shift to sub-
sist upon it, with some other helps, until the houses
of pari, seized upon all bishop's lands : and tho' in
consideration of his great losses in Ireland, as also
of his own merits, they allowed him a pension of
400/. per an. in consideration of what they had
taken away, yet he did not receive that sum above
once, or twice at most : for the independent faction
overtopping the presbyterian, an end was put to the
payment tliereot. From the time of his death,
which hapned in the latter end of 1655, the see of
Carhsle lay void till 1660, and then Dr. Rich.
Sterne of Cambridge succeeded, installed or en-
thronized therein on the 4th of Jan. the same year.
The said Dr. Usher, a most reverend man, famous
for religion and literature throughout Europe, an
eminent pillar of the protestant cause agmnst the
papacy, and of the commonwealth of learning, died
on Friday the 21st of March 1655, and on the 31st
of the said month (1656) Oliver lord protector sign'd
a warrant directed to the lords of the treasury for
the sum of 200/. to bear the charges of his funeral ;
which sum was paid to Nich. Bernard D. D.' And
this he did out of an honourable respect to the me-
mory of so pious and learned a champion of the
protestant cause as he was. On Thursday the 17th
of Apr. following, his body was conveyed from
Rygate in Surrey, where he died, to St. George's
church in South wark, at which place, about 12 of
the clock, his friends and many of the clergy met
the corps, and accompanied it thence to Somerset-

Sept. 1643. There were severail courts held in his grace's
name, and tenants admitted, &c. but 1 do not find, nr have
ever heard, that he was here in person. He seems to have
had the revenue of this bishoprick for about two years, which
was collected and managed for him by one captain or Mr.
Sharpe.

was accompanied thence to the abbey church of St.
Peter in Westminster, where after the said Dr. Ber-
nard had preached before the large auditory a ser-
mon,* it was inter'd.

GEORGE WEB or Webbe some time of Uni-
versity, afterwards of Corp. Christi, college, was
consecrated bishop of Limerick in Ireland, an. 1634,
and died in the latter end of sixteen hundred forty
and one, under v.hich year you may see more of
him among the writers, vol. iii. col. 29- In tlie see
of Limerick succeeded one Rob. Sibthorpe bishop
of Kilsenore, mentioned in the Fasti, the first part,
col. 391, and in the second part col. 100.

ROBERT WRIGHT was born in the parish
of St. Albans in Hertfordshire, and at 15 years of
age, an. 1574, [June 7] he was elected scholar of
Trin. coll. and in 1581 [May 25] fellow, being then
bach, of arts. Afterwards proceeding in that fa-
culty, he took holy orders, was made vicar of Son-
ning in Berks, of Hayes in Middlesex, chaplain to
queen Elizabeth, doctor of divinity, rector of Bur-
ton on the Water in Gloucestershire, canon repid.
and treasurer of Wells, chaplain in ord. to king
James I. and in 1613 the first warden of Wadham
coU. but resigned that office soon after, because he
was not permitted to take to him a wife by dame
Dorothy the foundress thereof In 1622 he became
bishop of Bristol, was consecrated thereunto at
Lambeth on the 23d of March the same year (Dr.
John Featley then preaching the consecration ser-
mon on Job. 20. 22.) but had not restitution made '"
to him of the temporalities of that see till the 4th of
Apr. following. In 1632 he was translated to Lichf.
and Coventry, the temporalities of which he re-
ceived ^ on the 3d of Dec. the same year, at which
time he gave up the treasurership or Wells, which
he kept in commendam with Bristol. In Dec. 1641,
when then he saw what mad work the members oi
the long parliament made, and what farther they
would do concerning the hierarchy, he did, with
eleven more bishops, draw up a protestation in be-
half of themselves, against their unreasonable ac-
tions : which being first presented to the king, who
refused to have any thing to do with it, it was
transmitted to the house of commons, who thereupon
impeaching the said bishops of high-treason, tney
were all committed to custody, viz. ten of them, of
which Litchfield was one, to the Tower,' and two
(Durham and Norwich) to the black-rod ; but be-

fore Litchfield was conveyed thither, he spoke an.
eloquent speech at the bar of the house of commons,
in answer for himself, which was afterwards printed
in one sh. in qu. After he had continued prisoner
about 18 weeks to his great chai'ge, he was released :
whereupon retiring to Ecdeshal-hall in Stafford-
shire, (the seat belonging to his bishoprick) which
about that time was fortified for his majesty, and
kept for his service by Dr. Bird a civilian, died
therein in Jul. or Aug. m sixteen hundred forty and
three, at which time the said place was besieged by
.sir Will. Brereton and his forces under the command
of the parliament ; but where his body was buried,
unless m the cath. ch. at Litchfield, which he de-
sired in his last will and test. dat. 3 May 1643, I
know not. On the 17th day of the said month of
Aug. his majesty nominateci Dr. Accepted Frewen
dean of Glocester and president of Magd. coll. to
succeed the said Dr. Wnght in the see of Litchfield
and Coventry, Dr. AVili. Brough to be dean of
Glocester, and Dr. John Oliver to be pres. of Magd.
coll. The reader may be pleased now to know,
that the said Dr. Wright having been much given
up to the affairs of the world, he did in short time
gather up so much wealth from the church, as not
only to purchase the rich manor of Newnham Court-
ney in Oxfordshire of Hugh Audley of the Inner-
Temple esq; and Tho. Audley his brother, for the
sum of 18000^. (which manor they some years be-
• fore had bought of the Pollards) but lands also in
other places. All which he leaving to his only son
Calvert Wright, sometime gent. com. of Wad. coll.
he jjroved so ill a husband, as to sell the said manor,
some years before the restoration of king Charles II.
to John Robinson of London, esq; afterwards a
kniglit and baronet, and lieutenant of the Tower ;
in the church of whicli place he was afterwards
buried. As for Calv. Wright he died in a mean
condition in the prison called the KingVbench in
Southwark, in the winter time 1666.

copies of verses of his own composition. One of
these has been reprinted in Warton's Life of Pope,
page 393 : from the other now given " it appears,
that Wright accompanied sir Henry Unton in one
of his embassies to France. It was in that to the
French king's camp at Lafere, in 1595, in which sir
Henry died.

Newton in his Encomia, so often quoted, thus
celebrates our author : '"

archbishop (Abbot) being then thought irregular
for casual homicide. Thence he was translated to
Bath and Wells, in Aug. 1626, thence to London
in Jul. 1628, and at length to Cant, in Sept. 1633.
He was beheaded on Tower-hill near London on
i64|. the tenth of January, in sixteen hundred forty and
four, under which year you may see more of him
among the writers, vol. iii. col. 117, 118, &c. The
see of Cant, lying void till 1660, was then supplied
by Dr. Juxon bishop of London, as I shall elsewhere
tell you.

MORGAN OWEN, a minister's son, received
his first breath in Caermarthenshire, was admitted a
student in Jesus coll. in the beginning of 1608,
aged 23 years, and being afterwards made one'of
the chaplmns of New coll. did, as a member thereof,
take the degree of bach, of arts, by the name of
Owen Morgan, an. 1613, he being then a preacher.
In 1616 he was admitted M. A. as a member of
Hart hall, was afterwards well beneficed in his own
country of Wales, and a useful man in the church
there. "When Dr. Laud became bishop of St. Da^
y-id's, he then knew the man and his zeal for the
church, and therefore made him his chaplain, and
when he became chanc. of the university, Mr. Owen
was by his endeavours actually created doctor of
divinity, as a member of Jesus coll. an. 1636. Soon
after, that he might shew himself grateful to his
mother the univ. of Oxon, he at his own charge
(being a rich man) enclosed the south-yard belong-
ing to St. Mary's church, with a fair free-stone wall,
and buUt also of the same stone, most curiously
carved and engraven, the beautiful porch leading
from the high street into the said church, with the
image of our lady, and a babe in her arm, at the
top of it. Which being finished " in the year 1637,
" at the expence of 230/." 'twas not only disgusted
by the puritan, and defaced by the parliament sol-
diers in the be^nning of the troubles, an. 1642, but
laid in Laud's dish as an article against him at his
tryal, that he did oblige the said Dr. M. Owen to
build it, permitted him as chancellor of the univer-
sity, and connived at all when 'twas finished. About
the beginning of March 1638 he was elected bishop
[1138] of Landaff" in the place of Dr. Will. Murray de-
ceased (who before had been bishop of Kilfenore in

king on the 19th of the same month, he was soon

of the said see were' restored to him. In Dec.
1641, he was one of the bishops that were im-
peached of high-treason for subscribing the pro-
testation mention'd before in Dr. R. Wright, and
thereupon being committed prisoner to the Tower,

dated 14 Dec. 1644, and proved the 12th of Dec.

of several lands, which went, I presume, to Mor-

he had taught) with 30/. per an. charged upon the

school was erected.

fellow) an. 1604, aged 16 years or thereabouts, took
the degrees in arts, holy orders, and became a pain-
ful preacher in these pai'ts for a time, and soon after
elsewhere. Afterwards he was made chaplain in

Surrey, of St. Stephen's in Walbroke near London,
D. of D. and canon of Windsor an. 1636, in the
place of Dr. Tho. Home deceased. But in the be-

vexation, " occasioned by the presbyterians," to
leave St. Stephen's, " who afterwarcls seque.stred
" him for his going away" (tho' by many accounted
a puritannical preacher) and afterwards AVest Hors-

" effects from his great candour, solid judgment,
" sweet temper, and good repute," nominated him to
the see of Bristol, on the death of Dr. Tho. West-
field, in July 1644, and soon after he was conse-
crated at Oxon, Dr. Usher primate of Ireland as-
sisting at the ceremony. This worthy person, who
was accounted a meek man, and a good preacher,
died in sixteen hundred forty and six ; whereupon jg4g_
his body was buried in the cath. ch. at Bristol, near

" right reverend the bishop, that like Gregory
" ThaianaturjTus (who being a Scythian bishop,
" found but fifteen christians in his diocese, and left
" but fifteen heathens there) he found at Ikistol
" few affected to the church, left but few disaffected,

being then bach, of arts, he was elected fellow of
AU-souls coll. and about that time taking holy
orders, went, without the taking of any other degree
in this university, into Ireland, where was made
dean of Cashels, and afterwards being nominated to
the see of KiUaloe in that country, was consecrated
thereunto on the 23d of Apr. 1633. In 1641 when
the rebellion broke out there, and great miseries
followed thereupon, he retired to Dublin, where

that hall, and about that time holy orders. After-
wards joumying into Ireland, he was made dean of
Limenck, and thence being advanced to the see of
Ferns and Laighlin, was consecrated thereunto in
St. Patrick's church (of which he was chauntor)
near Dublin, on the 14th of May 1635. In the
beginning of the rebellion he was forced thence, and
retiring to London, lived for some time there in an
obscure condition. At length he giving way to fate
in the month ^ of Octob. in sixteen hundred forty
and eight, was buried in the church of St. Clement
Danes without Temple-bar, within the hberty of
the city of Westminster. In his bishoprick suc-

whom mention shall be made hereafter.

continuing till he was bach, of arts, translated him-
self to St. Edm. hall, and as a member thereof he
took the degree of master in the same faculty, an.
1593. Afterwards he went into Ireland, became
archdeacon of Dublin, doctor of divinity there, and
at length archb. of the said city; to which being
consecrated in the church of St. Peter at Tredagh,
on the 3d of Oct. 1619, was soon after made by
king James I. privy-counsellor of that kingdom.
He hved to be spectator of the miseries that befel
that realm, occasion'd by the rebellion that broke
out in 1641, at which time securing himself in the

IGfiii, fiiul then in .Tunc Dr. Isniic Hiiriow l)einp
ulcitftl to govern it, was consecruted tlK-reiiiito iu
king Henry VII. chap, at Wcstm. on the 5tli of
July l(i63, and not before, at which time his ne-
ihew, son of liis hrotiier Tiionias, calli-d Dr. Isaac
{arrow master of Trin. coll. in ("ambridge, ])reaclu'd
the consecration sermon. This worthy and godly
bishop, who was son of Is;uic Jlarrow of S|)iney-
abbey in Cambritlgeshire es<j; was educated in St.
Peters eoll. conniionly called I'eter house in Cam-
bridge, of whicii he became fellow, but was turn'd
out thence by tiie presbyterians an. 1C4!3 or there-
abouts : wlicreujjon going to Oxon, and his cnii-
nency being known there, he was made one of tiic
chapliiins of New coll. by the most loyal and ge-
nerous warden thereof Dr. Pink, where continunig
till after the garrison of Oxon was surrendred for
tl»c use of the jwrliament, shifted afterwards from
place to place, and suffered with the rest of the loyal
and orthodox clergy, till the most blessed return of
king Charles II. .\t whicli time he was not only
restored to his fellowship, but also made one of tiie
fellows of Eaton coll. near Windsor, which lie held
in cmnmendam with the bishoprick of Man. In
Apr. 1GG4 he was made governour of the Isle of
Man by Charles earl of Derby, governed it piously
and prudently, held that office all the time lie was
bishop of Man, anil sometime after his translation
to St. Asaph. He was a great benefactor to the
island, esjx'cially to the clergy, did collect by his
great care and pains, from pious persons, one thou-
sand eighty one pounds, eight shillings and four
pence, witli which he bought all the impropriations
m the island from the earl of Derby, and settled

me with a most ready and obliging reply, from which I ex-
tract the followiiiK information.

• • • ' 1 have not hcen able to discover the exact period
of bishop Parr's consecration, but his signature occurs in the
episcopal registers during the ye.ir 1()3(), till 104.5, at which
time, I apprehend, he retired into England in consequence
of the usurpation. He was rector of Eceleston in Lancashire
previous to his promotion to this bishoprick. Bishop Parr
was succeeded by Samuel llutter in I()(i0. He was pre-
viously archdeacon of this diocese, and it appears that he v/as
guardi;in of the lomporalitics from the year 45 to 5t). He
was also the friend and companion of the celebrated earl of
Derby, during his confinement for his atlachinent to the
royal cause. He was buried irf the cathedral of St. Germans
in this island. A fl.it stone, with a brass plaie, marked the
place of his interment, but the latter was stolen only a few
years ago by an inconsitlerate person, who was making the
tour of this island : the inscription upon the plate was as
follows:

them upon the clergy, as every one had need. He
orderetl them all to teach sclux)] in their resjxHitive
])arishes, and allowetl 30/. per an. for a frcc-schooI,
and .50/. |KT an. for academical learning. He got
also one hundred pounds a year setletl (whicli was
like to have been lost) upon the clergy, which was
given by king (Charles II. and gave lii5/. of his own
money, for a lease tiiion lands of twenty {lounds a
year, which is setletl towards the maintenance of
three p(x)r scholars in the college at Dublin, that in
time there might be a more learned clergy in tlie
island. He gave likewise 10/. towards the making
a bridge over a dangerous water, and did many
other gcKjcl works there. Afterwards going into
Englaiul for health's sake, and continuing in a house
of the countess of Derby in Lancashire called Cross-
hall, he received the news of his majesty's amferring
on him the bishoprick of St. Asapli. See more of
him in Hen. Glemham among these bishops, under
the year 1667.

[Bishop Parr was consecrated to the bishoprick
of Sodor and Man June 10, 1635 : ' He was an ex-
cellent bishop, rebuilt Ramsey chapel, and was emi-
nent for his preaching," and instructing the natives
of his diocese. I have little doubt but that he died
in 1645, and was buried,, as Willis says, in the ca-
thedral of St. Germans. Wood is wrong in his
statement, that Barrow was the next bishop. Samuel
llutter, who was archdeacon of the diocese, at Parr's
death, became governor of the ecclesiastical matters
of the isle, and was promoted to the bishoprick,
probably immediately on the restoration, for in
1660, we find him collated to the prebend of Long-
den, in the church of Lichfield, by the title of bishop
of Sodor. Certain it is that he was confirmed bishop
October 8, 1661, and sat here till his death. Ac-
cording to Sacheverell, Rutter was a man of cxem
plary goodness and moderation.']

ROGER MANWARING, was bom at Stretton
ill Shropshire, educated in grammar learning in the
King's school at Worcester, under Hen. Bright,
entred a student in this university in the beginning
of the year 1604, and soon after was made one of
the clerks of AIl-s. coll. After he had run through
the usual courses of logic and philosophy, he tot>k
the degrees in arts, being about that time, as I con-
ceive, one of the chaplains of that house. At lengtli
being made rector of St. Gilcs's-in-thc-ficlds near
London, he took the degrees in divinity, and was
made chaplain in ordinary to king Charles I. before
whom, while he was in his attendance at Oatlands,
he preached two sermons in July ' 1627, entit. Re-

country cure. In the year following, on the fourth
of May, he preached on the same subject in his
church of St. Giles's before-mention'd ; for which,
as also for his former sermons, he was the same
year, June 14, censur'd in parliament to be im-

Erisoned, fined 1000/. to make submission, and to
e disinabled to have or enjoy any preferment or
office.* At that time John Pym, a busy man in the
house of commons, brought into the house a charge
against him, tliat ' he endeavoured to destroy the
king and kingdom by his divinity,' &c. On the
21st of the said month he made his submission, and
in the next month following he was presented by
the king to the rich rectory of Stanford Rivers in
Essex (void by the promotion of Dr. Richard Moun-
tague to the see of Chichester) with license to hold
it ^d his other living with it. On the 9th of Jan.
following he procured his pardon, which in the next
month made some stir in the session of parliament
that then was. In the month of May 1d33 he was
made dean of Worcester, in the place of Dr. Will.
Juxon promoted to the see of Hereford, where he
made some alterations for the better in that church ;
and in Dec. 1635 he was nominated bishop of St.
David's, on the translation of Dr. Theoph. Field to
Hereford. On the 28th of February following he
was consecrated thereunto by Dr. Laud archb. of
Canterbury and his assistants in the chap, at Lam-
beth,' where he sate till his function was silenc'd.
On the 22d of Feb. 1640 were several complaints
made against him in the long parliament, but not
for the present prosecuted, because the members
thereof were employed on greater matters. After-
wards the rebellion breaking out, he was imprison'd,*
violently persecuted from place to place, lost all his
spiritualities, and had only some small temporal
estate left to maintain him and his family.? He was
a person that had some curiosity in learning, but
greater zeal for the church of England : he was of
a pious life and conversation, charitable, and tho'
(with Sibthorpe) accounted a sycophant by the pu-
ritans, yet by the royalists he was esteemed worthy
of the function of a bishop. He finished his course
at Caermarthen, after he had endured many miseries,

three, and was buried in the collegiat church of 1653.
Brecknock near to the high altar, leaving then be-
hind him some things fit for the press, as I have
been informed by one of his near relations. It is
said tliat he was much resolved on three things, 1.
The redemption of captives. 2. The conversion of
recusants. 3. The undeceiving of seduced sectaries,
and that he kept three diaries, one for the transac-
tions of his own life, another for the public affairs of
the church and kingdom, and a third for the re-
markable passages ot providence that hapned in the
world. Mr. Fulman, who married this bishop's
grandaughter, used to report a remarkable story
concerning a loving dog which he kept several years
before he died, that after his lord and master was
dead sought for him in all tlie walks that he used
to frequent, at length finding the church door open,
went to his grave, not covered, and there he re-
main'd till he languished to death. The see of St.
David continuing void till after the restoration of
king Charles II. it was then supplied by Dr. Will.

THOMAS WINNIFF, a grave, learned and
moderate divine, was born, as 'tis said, at Shire-
bourne in Dorsetshire, admitted a batler or sojourner
of Exeter coll. in Lent term, an. 1593, aged 18
years, elected prob. fellow thereof", 30 June 1595,
admitted master of arts in 1601, and about that
time entring into holy orders, he became a noted

Ereacher and a tutor. In 1609 he left the college,
ecause he had an ecclesiastical benefice confer^d on
him, but the name of it I know not, unless Lam-
l)ourne in Essex, which he enjoyed many years, and
at length bought the advowson thereof of Rob. Ta-
vemer gent, which he afterwards by his will gave
to his nephew Peter Mews. About that time he
was chaplain to prince Henry, and afterwards to
prince Charles, which last he much displeased in
two matters, first that in a certain harangue, which
lie occasionally delivered in the beginning of Apr.
1622, he compared ' Frederick king of Bohemia to
a lamb, and count Spinola to a bloody wolf, which
also displeased the king ; and secondly that in some
little particulars, he expressed himself an enemy to
his marriage with the infanta of Spain. For these
matters he had like to have lost liis spiritualities,
had not his majesty king James I. highly valued
him for his learning. In 1624, Nov. 10, he was
installed dean of Glocester, in the place of Dr. Rich.
Senhouse promoted to the see of Carlisle, and after
the said king's death being made chaplain to his
successor king Charles I. had the deanery of St.
Paul's cathedral confer'd on him, an. 1631. After-
wards upon the translation of Dr. Williams to York
in 1641, he was nominated by the king bishop of
Lincoln, purposely to please the puritan, and was
soon after consecrated. But the rebellion breaking
out the next year, occasion'd by a prevalent party
in both houses of parliament, who silenced the
bishops, and caused their lands to be sold, this holy
bishop received little or no profit from the lands be-
longing to his see, only trouble and vexation as a
bishop. Afterwards he retired to Lamboume, spent
there for the most part the remainder of his days,
and justly obtained this character from a* learned
bishop, tliat ' none was more mild, modest and
humble, yet learned, eloquent and honest, than
[1143] bishop WinnifF.' He died, in the summer time in
10.04. sixteen hundred fifty and four, and was buried in
the church at Lamboume. Soon after was erected a
comely monument over his grave, on which 'tis said,
that he was made bishop of Lincoln in 1642, Ex

nutantis episcopatus molem, pietatis ac probitatis
suae fulcimine sustentare, &c.

RICHxiRD SMITH, sometime a student in

HENRY TILSON, a Yorkshire man bom, was
entred a student in Baliol coll. in the beginning of
the year 1593, took one degree in arts as a member
of that house four years after, and 'soon after was
elected one of Skyrlawe's fellows of the said college
of University, and took a degree of master as a
member of that house. In October 1615 he was
made vicar of Rachdale in Yorkshire,' by the death
of R. Kenion, and afterwards being made known to
that most generous count Thomas earl of Strafford,
he became his chaplain, went Avith him in that qua^
lity to Ireland, when that count was made lord
lieutenant thereof. Soon after he was by him made
dean of the cathedral of the Holy Trinity, com-
monly called Christ-church, in Dublin, where con-
tinuing in good esteem for his learning and piety,
had the see of Elphine confer'd on him, to which
being consecrated on the 23d of Sept. 1639, en-
dured soon after great misery by the rebellion that
broke out in Ireland 1641. Afterwards he retired
to his native country, setled at Soutliill-hall in York-
shire, spent there the chief part of his time, and
dying ' in peace the 31st of March in sixteen hun- 1655.
dred fifty and five, aged 80 years, or thereabouts,
was buried in the chancel of the neighbouring
church of Dewsbury. In the said see of Elphine
succeeded John Parker, D. D. in the latter end of
the year 1660.

MONKE.

8W

[1144]

NICHOLAS MONKE, or Le Moyne, third
son of sir Tho. Monke of Potheridee in Devonshire,
knt. son of Tho. Monke of the sind place, gent, by
Frances liis wife (widow of John Basset of Umbers-
lev in the said county, esq;) daughter of Arthur
Plantagenet, natural son of king Edward IV. by
Elizabeth I..ucy, as is suppos'd, his concubine, was
born in Devonshire, either at Potheridge, or at
Marton ; at the last of which places his father lived
when this Nich. Monke came first to Wadham coll.
anno 1626, aged 17 years or thereabouts. After he
had spent several years in that house in the con-
dition of a commoner, he proceeded in arts in 1634,
entred into holy orders, was benefic'd in his own
country, and suffered in the time of the rebellion,
as other loyalists did. Afterwards he was permitted
to keep some little cure, by the endeavours of his
brother George, while he was chief commander un-
der Oliver Cromwell in Scotland, was persecuted,
as 'tis said, by the triers appointed by Oliver, but
at length had the rectory of^ Kilhampton in Corn-
wall, worth 300/. per ann. bestowed on him by his
kinsman sir John Greenvill (afterwards earl of Bath)
which he freely gave him wthout simony, purposely
to oblige him to serve the public whenever he had
occasion to make use of him, he having then an eye
upon his brother George in Scotland, whom his fa-
mily had obliged likewse. I say, that this good
benefice being bestowed on him, he was, by his bro-
ther's interest, fix'd therein, and ready to perform
what lay in his power to serve the interest of the
royal family. In 1659 he agitated with his said
brother by letters to, and soon after in person in,
Scotland, in order to influence him for the restora-
tion of king Charles II. to his kingdoms, being put
upon it chiefly by the said sir Jo. Greenvill, and
some of the gentry in the west, who were of kin to
Monke : So nappy it was for his majesty to employ
the said sir John, and so lucky for him to senn his
clerk Mr. Monke thither, where he omitted nothing
of his instructions, but prudently managed them, as
may reasonably be inferred from the good effect they
had. Thus did the sense of allegiance and the love
of his country, prevail with his brother against all
hazards : and, if I should speak right, ' the revenge
of slights was some part * of grain m the scales.' In
the year following (1660) his endeavours and de-
sires being effected, he was, by the interest of the
said sir John, (minded thereunto by gen. Monke)
made prov. of Eaton coll. in the month of June,
then, or lately, enjoyed by N. Lockyer, sometime
chapl. to 01. Cromwell, lately protector. In the
beginning of Aug. following he was actually created
doct. of div. by virtue of the king's letters sent to
the university for that purpose, and soon after being
nominated by his majesty to the see of Hereforcl,
which had leiin void for 14 years by the death of

' Mystery and Method qfliis Majesty's happy Restoration,
Lond. 1680. Oct. p. 20. Writlen by John Price, D. D.

George Cook, he was consecrated thereunto on the
sixth ' day of January (Epiphany day) in the abbey
church of St. Peter at Westminster, by the arch-
bishop of York, bishops of Durham, Chichester,
Lincoln, and Peterborough : but before he had en-
joyed that sec a full year, he concluded his last day
in his lodgings in tlie Old-palace-yard in Westmin-
ster, on the seventeenth of December in sixteen i66i.
hundred sixty and one; whereupon his body was
buried * on the twentieth of the said month, in St.
Edmund's chapel within the precincts of the said
church of St. Peter. In the see of Hereford suc-
ceeded Dr. Herbert Croft, of whom may future men-
tion be made, and of his works, as to learning.

[Monk was ejected from the rectory of Plymtree
in Devonshire,' a preferment not noticed by Wood.

Lord Clarendon says ^ of him, that through all
the ill times he carried himself with singular in-
tegrity, and was in great reputation with all those
who constantly adhered to the king.

Bishop Monk married Susannah daughter of
Thomas Paine of PUmtree in Devonshire, by whom
he left at the time of his decease two daughters:
Mary the elder daughter and coheir, was married to
Arthur FairwcU of Westminster, esq. (son and heir
to Arthur Fairwell of the same place, younger bro-
ther of sir George Fairwell of Hill-Bishops in the
said county, knight,) by whom he had issue Arthur
Fairwell his eldest son, hving anno 1677. Elizabeth
Monk, second daughter and coheir to Nicholas
bishop of Hereford, became the wife of Curwen
Ilawlinson of Carke-hall in Cartmell in Lancashire,
esq. (who died in August 1689, being then burgess
for Lancaster, in the convention parliament, and
was buried in the chancel of the great church of St.
Mary's in Warwick) by whom she had issue only
two sons: viz. Monk Rawlinson eldest son, who
died at Carke-hall aforesaid, unmarried, in the
month of October 1695, aged twenty one years ; and
Christopher Rawlinson second son, now living, bom
at New-hall in Essex June 11, 1677; Christopher
late duke of Albemarle and his dutchess being god-
father and godmother. The 'foresaid Elizabeth
died at Carke-hall October 23, 1692, and was buried
in the burial-place of the Rawhnsons, in the church
of St. Mary's at Cartmell, to whose pious memory
her son Christopher hath erected a noble monument,
whereon she is described to be daughter and coheir
of the loyal Dr. Nicholas Monk lord bishop of
Hereford, a great assistant, in the restoration, to his
brother the most noble George Monk duke of Al-
bemarle. She was a most dutiful daughter of the
church of England, as well as of a prelate of it,
being a subUme pattern of a holy piety, a true

BRIAN DUPPA, sometime fellow of All-souls
coll. afterwards dean of Christ Church, was conse-
crated bishop of Chichester, an. 1638, translated to
Salisbury in 1641, and thence to Winchester in
1660. He concluded his last day in sixteen hun-
i()02. dred sixty and two, under which year you may see
more of him among the writers, vol. iii. col. 541.
He was so bountiful in his legacies to Christ Church,
that the money might serve to found a new, and
not to compleat an old, college. He left legacies to
Alls. coll. to the cath. churches of Chichester, Salis-
bury and Winchester, and erected an hospital at
his own cliarge in the place of his nativity, as I
have elsewhere told you : over the door of which
may this be engraven, ' That a poor bishop vowed
this house, but a great and wealthy one i)uilt it.'

WILLIAM JUXON, son of Richard Juxon of
Chichester, son of John Juxon of London,' was bom,
as 'tis said, within the city of Chichester * in Sussex,
educated in Merchant Taylors school, became fel-
low of S. John's coll. in 1598, and bach, of the civil
law in 1603, being about that time a student in
Grey's inn in Holbourn near London. Soon after
he took hoi}' orders, and in the latter end of the
year 1609 was made vicar of the church of St.
Giles's, in the north suburb of Oxon ; where, con-
tinuing about six years, he was much frequented for
his edifying way of preaching. In 1621 he wa.s
elected president of his college, and in the next year
he proceeded in the civil law. In 1626, and after,
he did execute the office of vicechancellor of this
university, and in Jan. 1627, being then one of his
majesty's chaplains in ordinary, he was made dean
of Worcester, in the place of Dr. Jos. Hall pro-
moted to the see of Exeter. On the 10th of July
1632 he was, at Dr. Laud's suit, (then bishop of
London) sworn clerk of his majesty's closet ; which
office was by that great person procured for him, to
the end ^ that ' he might have one that he might
trust near his majesty, if he grew weak or infirm.'
In the beginning of the year 1633 he was elected
l)isliop of Hereford, in the place of Dr. Franc. God-
win deceased, was about that time made dean of the
king's chapel, and on the translation of Dr. Laud

lion. About that time he was called to be one of
his majesty's privy-council, who, finding him to be
a jierst)n of uprightness and justice, did confer upon
him the great office of lord-treasurer, on Sunday the
sixtli of March 1635. Wliicli office no churchman
had since Henry the Vllth's time, as Dr. Laud^
observes, who adds tliis, ' I pray God bless him to
carry it so, that the church may have honour, and
the king and the state service and contentment by
it. And now if the church will not hold up them-
selves under God, I can do no more.' In this
office, which he enjoyed till 1641, he kept the king's

!)urse when necessities were deepest, and clamours
oudest, to the great content of all that had to do
witli him.* In the time of the rebellion, began and
carried on by the restless presbyterians, he suffer'd
as other bishops did, was outed of the house of
lords with his brethren, and lost the lands belong-
hig to his bishoprick, as the rest did. In 1648 he
had the honour and happiness, if it may be so called,
to attend king Charles I. of blessed memory, in his
most disconsolate condition, and to administer com-
fort, ghostly counsel, and the sacrament to him, and
to be also present with him on the scaffi)ld, when he
was beheaded before his own door by his most re-
bellious subjects, to the great horrour and amaze-
ment of all the world. Afterwards this holy bishop
retired to his manor of Little Compton in Glouces-
tershire, near to Chipping Norton in Oxfordshire,
where he spent severju years in a retired and devout
condition, and now and then, for health's sake, rode
a hunting with some of the neighbouring and loyal
gentry. After the restoration of king Charles II.
he was translated to the see of Canterbury, on
Thursday the JJOth of Sept. 1660, to the rejoycing
of all those that then loved order in the church.
Tlie solemnization was in the chapel of king Henry
VII. at Westminster; where, besides a great con-
fluence of orthodox clergy, many persons of honour,
and gentry, gave God thanks for the mercies of that
day, as being touched at the sight of that good man,
whom they esteemed a person of primitive sanctity,
of great wisdom, piety, learning, patience, charity,
and all apostolical virtues. He died in his palace
at Lambeth, on the fourth day of June sixteen

However inipnliiic this proceeding might be, on the part of
Laud, who, by raising Juxon to so high an office, offended
all the nobiliiy of the court, we must allow that the conduct
of the new lord-higli-treasurer amply exculpates the arch-
bishop from any other design than that of benefiting the
church and state and monarch, by the appointment of a man
of great ability and of strict integriiy ; one whose mild dispo-

his body being embalmed, was conveyed to Oxon
in great pomp, on the 7th of July following, where,
lying in state the next day, ancf part of the ninth,

of the heralds of arms, was then (after an eloquent
speecli had been openly spoken by the university
orator in the convocation house " adjoining, in praise
of the defunct, and dispraise of the presbyterians
and independents) conveyed in great state on mens
shoulders (the heralds and all the degrees of the
university attending) tiirough Catstreet, and so up

minister in the city of Wells, whence he was pre-
ferred by the dean and canons of Christ Ch. to the
vicaridge of Marcham near to Abingdon in Berks)
■was born in Somersetshire, particularly, as I con-
ceive, in the said city of Wells, became a batler of
Line, college, anno 1630, aged 16 years or there-
abouts, and took the degrees in arts. In the begin-
ning of the rebellion he became chaplain to James
marquess of Ormond in Ireland, by whose favour
lie was made prebendary of Christ Church in Dub-
lin, and dean of a certain chiu'ch in the said king-
dom. After the ill success and declension of the
marquess there, he returnVl into England, lived for
a time at Badmington in Gloucestershire with the
marquess of Worcester, and in 1654 had the vi-
caridge of Harwell in Berks conferr d on him by
John Loder of Hinton in the said county, gentle-
man : where continuing till his majesty's restoration,
he returned to Ireland, was actually created doctor
of div. at Dublin, and on the 27th of January 1660
he was ' consecrated bishop of Killaloe and Achonry
in the church of St. Patrick, near to the said city of
Dublin. He gave way to fate on the 23d of July
1663. in sixteen hundred sixty and three, in the bishop's
house at Killala, which he in a manner had rebuilt
from the ground, and was burled in the cathedral
church there; whereupon Thomas Bayly, D. D.
succeeded him in his sees. Besides the said Henry
Hall, I find another of both his names, bach, of div.
sometime fellow of Trin. coll. in Cambridge, author
of Heaven ravished, or a glorious Prize, Fast Ser-
mon before the House of Commons 29 May 1644 ;

ACCEPTED FREWEN, the eldest son of Jo.
Frewen, the puritannical rector of Nordiam or
Northiam in Sussex, was born ' in Kent,'' educated
in the free-school at Canterbury, became a student,
and soon after a demy, of Magd. coll. abaut the be-
ginning of the year 1604, 'aged 16 years; where,
making great proficiency in logic and philosophy,
he was elected probat. fellow of that house about St.
Mary Magd. day, anno 1612, being then master of
arts. About that time he entred into the sacred
function, and became a frequent preacher, as being
puritannically enclinVl. In 1622 he attended in the
court of prince Charles, while he was in Spain court-
ing the infanta, and in 1625 he was made chaplain

in ordinary to the .said prince, then king.' In 1626
lie was elected president of his coll. and in the next
year proceeded in divinity. In 1628 and 29 he
executed the office of viccchancellor of this univer-
sity, and on the 13th of Sept. 1631, being then, or
about that time, prebendary of Canterbury, was in-
stalled dean of Gloucester, upon the removal of Dr.
George Warburton thence to tlie deanery of Wells.
In 1638 and 39 lie, upon the solicitations of Dr.
I^aud, arclib. of Cant, and chancellor of this univ.
(whose creature then he was) did undergo the said
office of viccchancellor again, and on the 17th of
August 1643 he was nominated by his majesty to
succeed Dr. Wright in the see of Litchfield and
Coventry : but so it was, that the times being then
very troublesome, he was not consecrated till the
next year, that is to say, on a Sunday in the month
of April following ; at which time the solemnity was

ferformed in the chapel of Magd. coll. by the arch-
ishop of York, bishops of Worcester, Oxford, Sa-
lisbury, and Peterborough. But this preferment
being then but little better than titular, because
that the hierarchy was 'about that time silcnc'd, he
retired to London, and lived there, and partly else-
where, among his relations for several years. At
length after the restoration of king Charles II. he
was elected to the see of York on the 22d of Sept.
translated on the 4th of Octob. and enthronized in
the person of Tob. Wickham, preb. of that church
on the 11th of the same month, an. 1660. At that
time the see of Litchfield being not supplied by an-
other for about the space of an year, in expectation
that Mr. Rich. Baxter would take it (for the king
intended it for him conditionally he would conform)
Dr. Frewen had the benefit of that too, all the fines
for renewing, and for the filling up lives, to his very
great profit, besides what he got from York. At
length Mr. Baxter, the Coryphaeus of the presby-
terian party, reftising it,^ least he, in an high man-
ner, should displease the brethren, it was offered to
Dr. Richard Baylie, president of St. John's college,
and dean of Sarum, who had been a very great suf-
ferer for the king's cause ; but he refusing it, be-
cause Dr. Frewen had skim'd it, it was therefore
confer'd on Dr. John Hacket of Cambridge, as I
shall anon tell you. This Dr. Frewen, who was
accounted a general scholar, and a good orator, but

when the list of chaplains was presented to him, he called
for Frewen, by name, and put him into the list with his own

His father was Andrew Hacket of Putferin in Scot-
land, a senior burgess of the city of Westminster,
and afterwards of the robes to prince Henry, who,
being a zealous protestant, took great care to breed
up this his only son to that religion. When he was
very young tlierefore, he put him to the college
school at AVestminster, and his master Mr. Ireland
finding in him a great propensity to learning, was
very kind to him, as also was Dr. Lane. Andrews
the dean of the church there, who. In the necessary
absence of the master, being accustomed to come
into the school, and examine the boys, took this
youth into his particular favour, and continued it
to him as long as the bishop lived. Being made
ripe for the university, he was in the year 1608
(with the pious Mr. George Herbert) elected to go
to Trinity coll. in Camb. by the favour of Dr. Tho.
Nevill master of that coll. (who told his father, when
he addressed to him about his son, that he should
go to Cambridge, or else he would carry him upon
his back) and being there entred, he was put under
the tuition of Dr. Edw. Simson, author of Chrani-
con ab Exordio Mundi, &c. Soon after he was so
much noted for his painful studies, sober life, and
great proficiency in learning, that he was elected
fellow of that house as soon as he was, by the rules
thereof, fit for the same. Afterwards he grew into
that credit, that he had many pupils put to his
charge, and those of the best families in England,
and then betaking himself to the study of divinlt)',
he took holy orders in 1618, from the hands of Dr.
John King bishop of London, who had a great af-
fection for him, and expressed the same on divers
occasions; but above all others Dr. John Williams
bishop of Line, observing his great learning, and
knowledge in the tongues, chose him his chajjlain
immediately after the great seal was committed to
his charge, an. 1621. Two years he spent in that
bishop's service before his time was come to com-
mence bach, of dlv. and then bcg'd leave to go to
Cambridge to keep the act, an. 1623, which he per-
formed according to expectation ; and then return-
ing to court to his master, he prefcr'd him to be
chaplain to king James I. before whom he preach-
ing several times to that learned prince's good liking,
he was the next year, by the recommendations of
his master, presented to the church of St. Andrew
in Holbourn near London, (then within his ma-
jesty's disposal by reason of the minority of Thotnas
earl of Southampton) and suddenly after he was, by
the same means, made parson of Cheame in Surrey,
fallen likewise in his majesty's gift, by the promotion
of Dr. Rich. Senhouse to the blshoprlck of Carlisle :
wliicli two livings he held till the most execrable
rebellion broke out in 1642, and was constantly
resident upon one of them. In 1628 he commenced
doct. of div. at Cambridge, where he preached a
sermon highly applauded by the learned auditory
of that time : and returning to Holbourn and his
duty there, he became very famous for excellent

preaching, and decent order in his charge. In 1631
nis old master the bishop of" Lincoln gave him the
archdeaconry of Bedford, void by the death or re-
signation of Nich. Walker, D. 1). who had suc-
ceeded therein one George Eland, an. 1629. To
which charge he usually went once in a year (com-
monly after Easter) and exhorted the clergy thereof
to keep strictly the orders of the church. After-
wards finding his church of St. Andrew in Holbourn
much in decay, he eagerly solicited his great friends
and acquaintance to contribute to its re-edification,
or at least repair, and about the year 1639 lie had
obtained divers thousands of pounds for that pur-
pose ; but the imparallel'd rebellion following soon
after, the members of tlie long parliament (mostly
a prevalent party of prcsbyterians) did seize on that,
and all the money collected for the repair of St.
Paul's cathedral in London, to carry on their rebel-
lion against their king. In the beginning of the
civil war, he was named one of the committee, with
divers eminent bishops and pastors, to consider of
what was amiss in the English liturgy and church-
government, and to rectify the same, in hopes by
that means to expel the cloud then appearing over
the church ; but the lords and commons dash u that
good intent, by passing a bill for taking away the
government of tlie church by bishops: yet before
tlie passing thereof, the clergy being allowed liberty
to speak for themselves, they all with one consent
made the said Dr. Hacket their mouth to speak
their sense of the matter ; which being the next day
[1149] performed with general applause of all, except those
that nothing could please, it did for the present put
a stop to that bill ; yet soon after by a new question
it past, without a second hearing of the learned
doctor. Afterwards, being silenced by them at St.
Andrew's in Holbourn, he retired to Cheame, where
he also used the liturgy till forbidden by the par-
liament. Afterwards he suffered by imprisonment
by the army under Robert earl of Essex, when they
went to fight against their king, and being released,
he retired to Cheame, which he kept during the
times of usurpation. After his majesty's restoration,
the bishoprick of Gloucester was ofFer'd to him, but
lie refusing it, the then lord-chancellor made ad-
vantage of it,' and caused 'it to be conferr'd on Dr.
Nicholson. Afterwai-ds being made bishop of Litch-
field and Coventry, as I have before told you, as
also in the Fasti, an. 1616, he repaired to Litch-
field in the spring time, anno 1662, and finding the
cathedral there quite ruined in the time of the most
wicked rebellion, he set himself to the rebuilding
thereof, and finished the same in about eight years
time, making it far more beautiful than it was be-
fore, with the expcnce of 20,000/. a thousand of
which he had of the chapter, and the rest was of his
charge, and of his procuring from benefactors. On

At Lichfield, before the wars, had been a most beautiful
and comely cathedral church, which the. bishop at his first
coming found mostdesolate, and ruin'd almost to the ground,
the roof of stone, the timber, lead and iron, glass, siall.«,
organs, utensils of rich value, all were embezzell'd. Two
thousand shot of great ordnance, and fifteen hundred graoa-
does discharg'd against it, which had quite batter'd down the
spire, and most of the fabrick, so that the old man took not
so much comfort in his new promotion, as he found sorrow
and pity in himself to see his cathedral church thus lying in
the dust. So tliat the next morning after his lordship's ar-
rival, he set his own coach-horses on work, together with
other teams, to carry away the rubbish, which being cleared,
he procured artisans of all sorts to begin the new pile, and
before his death set up a compleat church again belter than
ever it was before : the whole roof from one end to the other,
of a vast length, all repaired with stone, all laid with goodly
timber of our royal sovereign's gift, all leaded from one end
to the other, to the cost of above twenty thousand pounds,
which yet this zealous and laborious bishop accomplished a
great part out of his own bounty, with one thousand pounds
help of the dean and chapter, and the rest procured by him
from worthy benefactors, by incessant importunity: the

late Treatise on the Antiquities of that Cathedral

LL.D. President of Magdalen College, Oxford.
Lond. 1743, 8vo. Mr. Drake has not enlarged
upon this bishop's character ; what is by him said,
he took chiefly from Wood : and truly if the author,
a relation of the bishop, had nothing more material
to say, than what is produced in the above Vindica-
tion, he liad much better let his relation's bones have
rested in quiet, than in scrutinizing too nicely into
a part of his character, which can never be justified.
It is confessed that he died worth near 30,000
pounds, all which was after lent to king Charles II.
and lost to the family ; so that his legacy of 1000
to his college is not to be included in that great sum.
If we compare this benefaction with that of his
noble-spirited successor at Lichfield, who had a fa-
mily, whereas this was a bachelor, and had not only
the renewal of the leases of the two sees of York and
Lichfield during the whole time of the usurpation,
we can't but own the difference so great, that the
loss to king Charles may seem a sort of justice to
one who had enjoyed the advantage of so great pro-
fits from that prince, and from the church ; and yet
had no heart to remember the forlorn condition of
the last, which, at the time of his death, must, from
the late horrible and sacriligeous confusions, have
wanted it sufficiently. Bishop Burnet censures the
bishops at the restoration for doing so little good
■with their great fines : we see they were bishops of
his own kidney that acted thus. Cole.

WILLIAM BAYLY, a Scotch man bom, ob-
tained most of his learning in the university of
Glascow, compleated it in this university of Oxon,
returned to his native country, but outed thence by
the covenanters. Afterwards, if I mistake not, he
went into Ireland, whence being driven by the re-
bellion that broke out in 1641, retired to Oxon,
where his majesty king Charles I. had taken up his
head quarter, and was, by his majesty's command,
actually created doctor of div. in February 1642.
In the next year Robert Dawson, bach, of div. and

15 years or thereabouts, and soon after one of tlie
clerks of All-souls college. About All-saints time
in 1618 he was elected fellow of the said house, and
after he had proceeded in arts, he took holy orders,
and preached frequently in these parts. In 1632,
being then rector of Brightwell, alias Baldwin Bright-
well, near Watlington in Oxfordshire, he proceeded
in divinity, answered the divinity act with general
satisfaction, was about that time made one of the
chaplains to his majesty king Charles I. and after-
wards residentiary of Chichester. A little before
the rebellion broke out, he preached a sermon at

perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.'
In the time of tiie rebellion he did suffer in some
part for his loyalty, and therefore upon his ma-
jesty's restoration, anno ICGO, he was made one of
his chaplains, and dean of Lichfield, in the place of
Dr. Griff. Higgs, who died the year before. Aftei^
wards being esteemed wealthy, and knowing in se-
cular affairs, he was, by the endeavours of Dr.
Sheldon archbishop of Canterbury, (sometime his
fellow collegiate) promoted to the see of Oxford,
upon the translation of Skinner to Worcester, in
hopes that he would rebuild the bishop's palace at
Cudesden : and having in part promised so to do,
he had liberty allow'd him to keep the rectory of
Brightwell before-mention'd, and the rich rectory of
Chinnor in Oxfordshire (which he some years before
had obtained) in connnendam, with his bishoprick.
Soon after being consecrated, but the day when, I
know not, and mstalled or enthronized on the 7th
of January 1663, he bought and laid in at Cudes-

any thing else could be done in the matter, he died ;*

Thomas earl of Strafford, lord-lieutenant of Ireland,
who gave him the deanery of Connor in that king-
dom, at which time he was esteem'd well vers'd \n
the ecclesiastical laws. On the 30th of April 1639
he was admitted doctor of the laws of the university
of Dublin, and going soon after into England, was

death of her husband, in my MS. collections, vol. xxx, page

incorporated doctor of that faculty at Oxon. In
the time of tlie rebellion in Ireland he lost all there,
and suffer'd much for the royal cause; but being
restored to what he had lost after his majesty's re-
turn, was, in requital of his sufferings, made nishop
of Femes and Laighlin in the said kingdom; to
which sees being consecrated * in the cathetlral
church of St. Patrick, on the 27th of January 1660,
sate there to the time of his death, whicii hapned in
sixteen hundred sixty and five, as I have been in-
formed by one of his successors in the said sees,
named Dr. Narcissus March, now archbp. of Cashiels,
who also told me, that Dr. Rich. Boyle succeeded
Dr. Price in those sees.

[Robert Price was the younger son of John Price
the elder of Rhiwas in the coimty of Merion. esq.
and of Ann, the daughter of John Lloyd re^ster
of St. Asaph, his wife. He was ordained deacon in
the cathedral of Bangor on Sunday the first of June
1634, being then LL.B. of Christ church. Soon
after this he was instituted to the vicaridge of Towin
com. Merion. and installed chancellor of the church
of Bangor Nov. 16, 1635. He resigned both his
places here in 36 and went over into Ireland with
my lord Strafford as one of his chaplains. What

Ereferments he had there I know not, more then that
e was bishop of Ferns, and had his conge d'eslire
to have been removed to Bangor, but dyed before
that affair was finished in Spring 1666. Hum-

JOHN EARLE, sometime fellow of Merton
coll. afterwards dean of Westminster, was conse-
crated ' bishop of Worcester (on the death of Gau-
den) in the latter end of November 1662, and
thence translated to Salisbury in the latter end of
September anno 1663. He died in November itt
sixteen hundred sixty and five; under which year
you may see more of him among the ^vriters, vol.

and in Salisbury Dr. Hyde, as I shall tell you here-
after.

GEORGE WILDE, sometime fellow of S.
John's coll. was consecrated in S. Patrick's church
near Dublin bishop of I^ondon-Derry in Ireland, on
the 27th of January 1660, by John archb. of Ar-
magh, Griffin bishop of Ossory and Robert bishop
of Kilmore. He departed this mortal life in the
month of Decemb. in sixteen hundred sixty and five,

in the latter end of Octob. 1660, and died in sixteen

see more of him among the writers, vol. iii. col. 754.
He succeeded in the said see, after it had lain void
nine years, one Dr. Joh. Owen of Cambridge, of
whom I have made mention in the second vol. of
this work, col. 880. But whereas I have said there
that he was author of Herod and Pilate reconciled,
&c. which I took from Mercurius Puhlicus, pub-
lished 4 June 1663, wherein 'tis said that Dr. Owen
late bishop of S. Asaph was the author, it proves an
error, for David Owen was the writer of it, as I
have told you in the first part of the Fasti, col.
828. wherein the first part of the title is omitted,
for whereas the title tiiere is, The Concord of a
Papist and Puritan for tlie Coercion, Deposition
and Killing of Kings, it should be Herod and
Pilate reconciled : or the Concord of a Papist, &c.
Camb. 1610. qu. reprinted under Dr. John Owen''s
name in 1663, and so it was put in the said news
book called Merc. Pub. which caused the error by
me made.

[Dr. George Griffyth was the third son of Robert
GrifFyth of Carrey Iwyd, and brother by the full
blood to Dr. William GrifFyth chancellor of Bangor
and St. Asaph. He was born at Llanfaeth in An-
glesey. Upon his leaving the university, he became
chaplain to bishop Owen of St. Asaph, and was by
him preferred, first to the rectory of New Town
Jun. 3, 1631. Ill 1632 he was canon of St. Asaph,
and Jan. 19, 1632, 3, he was instituted to Llan-
drinio, which he kept to his death, and his successors
bishops of St. Asaph have ever since held it in com-
mendam. Jan. 7, 1633-4 he had Llanfechan, which
he exchanged for Llanyniynach the 20th of March
following. This he also kept in commendam till a
httle before his death. He suffered in the times of
the rebellion, as all others of his principles did, and
upon the restauration was rewarded with the bishop-
rick of St. Asaph. He was a learned, religious and
truly good man. He hath in print

ALEXANDER HYDE, fourth son' of sir
Laurence Hyde of Salisbury knight, second son of
Laur. Hyde of Gussage S. Michael in Dorsetshire,
third son of Robert Hyde of Northbury in Cheshire,
was bom in S. Mary's parish within the said city of
Salisbury, educated in Wykeham's school near Win-
chester, admitted perpetual fellow of New coll. after
he had served two years of probation, an. 1617,
aged 20 years or thereabouts, and took the degrees
in the civil law, that of doctor being compleatcd in
1632. In the month of May 1637 he was made
subdean of Salisbury on the death of Giles Thorn-
borough, on the 5th of Jan. 1638 he was collated
to the prebendship of South Grantham in the said
church, upon the resignation of Dr. Humph. Hench-
man, he being then possest of a benefice elsewhere.
What were his sufferings in the time of the rebel-
lion, if any, or his merits afterwards, to be advanced
to a bislioprick, let others speak, while I tell you
that after his majesty's restoration he was, by the
endeavours of his kinsman, sir Edw. Hj'de lord
chanc. of England, not only made dean of Win-
chester, an. 1660, in the place of Dr. Joh. Yonge
some years before dead, (who had succeeded in that
deanery Dr. Thomas Morton, an. 1616) but also
advanced upon the death of Dr. Joh. Earle to the
see of Salisbury : to which receiving consecration
in New coll. chappel, 31 Dec. 1665, (the king and
queen with their courts being then in Oxon) from
the hands of the archb. of Cant, assisted by the
bishops of Winchester, Gloc. Peterb. Limerick, and
Oxon, enjoyed it but a little while to his detriment.
In his deanery succeeded \\ ill. Clark D. D. of Cam-
bridge,' who dying in the parish of S. Giles's in the
Fields near London, Rich. Meggot D. D. of Qu.
coll. in Cambridge,* canon of Windsor, rector of S.
Olave's in South wark and vicar of Twittenham in
Middlesex, was installed in his place, 9 Oct. 1679.
As for Dr. Hyde, he died to the great grief of his
relations, on the 22d day of August in sixteen hun-
dred sixty and seven, aged 70 years, and was buried
in the south isle near the choir of the cath. church
of Salisbury. Afterwards was a black marble stone
laid over his grave, with an inscription thereon, the
beginning of which is this. Siste viator, hac itur in

he removed incognito iVoni place to place till .he
could obtain a passage over sea into France. The
next was sir Rob. Ilydc, who, by the endeavours of
his kinsman sir Edw. before-mention'd, was made
lord chief justice of the common j)leas. lie died
suddenly on the kalends of May 1665, aged 70, and
was buried in the sai^l isle. Soon after was erected
on the wall, near his grave, a sjjlendid monument
with his bust in white marble, and a large inscri|)-
tion thereon beginning thus. II. S. E. ordini par

brother he had called sir Hen. Hyde, who adhering
to iiis majesty king Charles II. in his exile, was by
him sent ambassador to the grand seignior at Con-
stantinople, and demanding audience in his name,
he was (by bribes given) delivered to some of the
English mercliants there, who shipping him in the
Smyrna fleet, he was conveyed into England. Soon
after being committed to the tower of London, he
was brought before the high court of justice, whera
he desired to plead in the Italian language, which,
he said, was more common to him than the English.
But it being denied him, he was at length con-
demned to die : whereupon he lost his head on a
scaffold erected against the Old-exchange in Corn-
hill, on the fourth day of March, an. 1650.^ It
was then said by the faction in England, that he
did, by virtue of a commission from Charles Stuart
as king of Great Britain, act in the quality of an
agent to the court of the Great Turk, with intent
to destroy the trade of the Turkey company, and
the parliament's interest, not only in Constantinople,
but also in Mitylene, Anatolia and Smyrna. That
also he had a conmiission to be consid in that mat-
ter, with an aim likewise to seize upon the nier-
chant's goods for the use of Charles king of Scots :
For the effecting of which design, he presumed to
discharge sir Tho. Bendish of his embassy, being
leiger tliere for the state of England, &c. The said
faction also reported, and would needs persuade the
people in England, that those that abetted sir H.
Hyde at Smyrna had the heavy hand of judgment
fell upon them. This sir Hen. Hyde after his de-
collation, was convey\l to Salisbury and buried there
in the cathedral among the graves of his relations.
Another brother, younger than him, was Edward
Hyde, D. D. sometime fellow of Trin. coll. in Cam-
bridge,'* and afterwards rector of Brightwell near
Wallingford in Berkshire: from which being ejected
in the time of usurpation, he retired with his wife
and children to Oxon, and hiring an apartment
within the precincts of Hart hall, lived there several
years, studied frequently in Bodley's library, and
preached in the church of Halywell in the suburbs

the faction. In l6.58 he obtained of his exifd ma-

mention'd his kinsman, (then, tho' in banishment^
lord chancellor of F^ngland) letters patents for the
deanery of Windsor (in the j)lace of Dn Chr. Wren
deceased) dated in July the same year; but dying
at Salisbury of the stone, a little before the restora-
tion of king Charles II. he was never installed in
that dignity. He hath written and published se-
veral books which were taken into tlie hands of,

and one of the chief justices of South Wales, who
died in 1676. Also another called Francis, who
was secretary to the earl of Denbigh ambassador,
and died at Venice without issue. And among
others must not be forgotten Dr. Thomas Hyde fel-
low of New coll.'' afterwards judge of the admiralty,
and also the eleventh and youngest brother of them
all, named James Hyde doctor of physic, lately
principal ' of Magd. hall.

HUGH LLOYD was born in the county of
Cardigan, became a servitor or poor scholar of Oriel
coll. an. 1607 or thereabouts, took the degrees in
arts, translated himself to Jesus coll. of which I
think he became fellow, and in 1638 he proceeded
in divinity, being about that time archdeacon of S.
David's and well beneficed in his own country. In
the times of usurpation and rebellion he suffered
much for the king's cause, was ejected and forced
to remove from place to place for his own security : •
In consideration of which and his episcopal qualities,
he was consecrated to the see of Landaff, on the
second dav of Decemb. (being the first Sunday of
the month) ah. 1660, by the archb. of York,
bishops of London, Rochester, Salisbury and Wor-
cester : at which time six other bishops were also
consecrated. He died in June or July, in sixteen
hundred sixty and seven, and was, as I supjxise, jgo;.

The following excellent letter to the clergy of his
diocese is transcribed from the original, preserved
by Heame, in a volume of miscellaneous papers.
Bodley, MS. Rawl. Muc. 308.
' My deare brethren,

' Most of you haue either subscribed or at least
consented to the good worke of the free schooles

Eroposed unto you ; this is only to quicken you to
ee as liberall therein as your severall conditions
will permitt You know wee live in an age in w'^''
too many (that would gratifie their camall or worldly
lusts) have in derision what retrencheth either,
though on never so good an account, as if earth the
worst part of the world, or the body the worst part
of man, wcrt only to be tendered here. I presume
you are so farce from taking such an example, that
you will give a better, that they who too little heed
what wee say, may bee reduced (at least) by what
wee doe, when they finde wee our selves take no
other way for heaven, then what wee would endcare
unto them ; and that wee proceede in that course,
they ever pretend a readiness to follow, so the
• cleargye lead the way. This county hath eminently
contnbuted to the primitive Christianity of all Wales,
its strange wee should now come short of all parts
of Wales in the niaine acts of it, for of all counties
therein, Glamorgan is (notwithstanding the present
conditions and estates Ixith of the laytie and cleargie
thereof) most unfurnisht of meanes either to pro-
pagate to others, yea, or to continue to itself religion
and learning. Of old. Christian schooles began here,
and (to Our great shame) it was not, before the dis-
solution, so utterly destitute of them, as now it is.
Your providing tor debts, age, children, cannot bee
pleaded in barre of this, for when only a little is put
mto Christ''s multiplying handes, it sanctifieth the
rest, and improveth it into a sufficiency and re-
mainder.

' Nor shall our concernes and relations ever mis-
carry for want of that Christ receives of us ; we arc
not religious if wee believe not this, and if wee be-
lieve it, let us not stagger, but open both our hearts
and handes to give chearfully, according to our se-
verall abilities. For mine owne part, I sliall vehe-
mently suspect that his religion is not in his heart,
but only in his head, who will not bee a very willing
contributor to promote this pious intention. I am
confident that nee which endeavoures to walke by
faith (and every Christian, much more a cleargy man
should doe so) will finde no difficulty in this, but if
for want of faith, so small a contribution seem im-
possible to any, well may hee cease to wonder at his

neighbour's uncharitableness. Wherefore (as by
Gfw's grace) many of you have worthily denied your
selves in the royal present to our blessed soveraigne,
so doe in this for your most gratious God, who in
great mercy both gave and restored our soveraigne
imto us ; that as the poorest bodies are by God's
goodnes in the fulnes of a plentifull country com-
petently sustained for this, so their soules \iy this
provision may bee furthened for a better life ; and
we, brethren, having donne our best herein, may
give to this present age, and leave to posterity an
example of doing more for God's glory, who should
bee most deare unto our soules for what we are,
had, have, or hope for. Now the God of peace that
brought againefi-om the dead our Lord Jesus, make
you perfect in every good worke, to doe his will,
workmg in you that /which is well pleasing in his
sight, through Jesus Christ. This is, and ever shall
bee, whilest I live, the hearty prayer of your un-
worthy diocesan and loving brotner,

' Hugh Llandaffe.]

the place of Dr. Matthew Nicholas' promoted to
the deanery of S. Paul's cath. in London ; where
continuing till 160(5, he was, by the endeavours of

fate at Glemham-hall in Suflblk on the seventeenth
day of January in sixteen hundred sixty and nine,
and was buried in the vault that belongs to the fa-
mily of Glemham, in the parish church of Little
Glemham in the said county. To the said sec of S.
Asaph, was translated Dr. Is. Barrow bishop of the
Isle of Man, on the 21st of March 16G9, to the
great rejoycing of the true sons of the church in the
diocese thereof. After he was settled, he repaired
several parts of the cathedral ch. especially the north
and south isles, and new covered them with lead,
and caused the cast part of the choir to be wain-
scottcd. He laid out a considerable sum of money
in building and repairs about his palace at S. Asaph,
and the mill thereunto belonging. In, the year 1078
he built an alms-house for eight poor widows, and
did endow it with twelve pounds per an. for ever.
The same year he procured art act of parliament for
the appropriating of the rectories of Llanrhaiddor
in Mochnant, in Denbighshire and Montgomery-
shire, and of Skeiviog in the county of Flint, for
repairs of the cathedral church of S. Asaph" and
the better maintenance of the choir there ; and also
for the uniting several rectories that were sinecures,
and the vicandges of the same parishes, within his

a free-school and to endow it, but was pre\ented by
death. Yet since that time, his successor Dr. Will.

30th of the said month his corps was lodged in his
house calletl Argoed-iiall in Flintshire, and from
thence carried on the first of July to his palace at
S. Asaph, and the same day to the cathedral church
there, where after divine service and a sermon, the
said corps was decently inter'd by Dr. Nich. Strat*
ford dean of S. Asapli, on tlie south side of the
west door in the cathedral church yard, wliich was
the place he ajijwinted. Over his grave was soon
after laid a large flat stone, and another over that,
supported by pedestals. On the last of wliich is
this inscription engraven: Exuvia; Isaaci Asaph-
ensis Episcoj)i, in manum Domini depositas, in spent
Iseta" resurrectionis per sola Christi merita. Obiit
dictus reverendus Pater festo Divi Johannis Bap-

with the ground, is this inscription following, en-
graven on a brass plate fastned thereunto, which
was made by the bishop himself. Exuviae Isaaci

in spem laetae resurrectionis per sola Christi merita.
O vos transeuntes in Doiitiuni Domini, Domum ora-

ricordiam in die Domini. The said brass plate was
fastned at first, as 'tis there reported, over the said
west door, but afterwards taken down, and fastned
to the lower stone, next the body. But so it was,
that as soon as this last epitaph was put up, the
contents thereof flew about the nation by the endea-
vours of the godly faction, (then plump'd up witli
hopes to carry on their diabolical designs upon ac-
count of the jwpish plot, then in examination and
Erosecution) to make the world believe that the said
i.shop died a papist, and that the rest of the bishops
were papists also, or at least popishly ajl'ected, and
especially for this reason, that they adhered to liis
majesty and took part, with him at that time against
the said faction, who endeavoured to bring the

[11551 the catch, under the notion of religion, to obtain
their tcmjxiral ends, private endearments, comfort-

was uncle to a most worthy, religious and learned
doctor of both his names, as I have elsewhere told
you, who dying the 4th of May 1677, aged 47
years, was buried in the great, or south cross isle of
Wcstm. abbey, near to the monument of the learned
Cambdcn, sometime Clarenceaux king of arms.

WILLIAM PIERS, [or Piekce] son of Wil-
liam Piers a hal)erdasher of hats, nephew, or near
of kin, to Dr. John Piers sometime archb. of York,
and a native of South Hinxsey near Abingdon in
Berks, was born in the parish of Allsaints within
the city of Oxon, in Aug. and baptized there on the
3d of Sept. an. 1580. In 1596 he was made student
of Ch. Church, and taking the degrees in arts, fell
to the study of divinity, and was for a time a preacher
in and near Oxon. Afterwards being made chap-
lain to Dr. King bishop of London, he was prefer'd
to the rectory of S. Christopher''s church near to
the Old Exchange in London, and vicaridge of
Northall in Middles. In 1614 he proceeded in di-
vinity, being about that time divinity reader in S.
Paufs cathedral, and in 1618 was made canon of
Ch. Church, and soon after dean of Chester.^ In
1621, 22, 23. he did undergo the office of vicechan-
cellor of this university, wherein behaving himself
very forward and too officious against such that were
then called anfi-arminians, he gained the good will
of Dr. Laud then a rising star in the court, and so
consequently preferment. In 1622 he was made
dean of Peterborough in the place of Hen. Beau-
mont promoted to that of Wmdsor, and in 1630
had the bishoprick thereof confer'd on him, by the
death of Dr. Tho. Dove, to which being elected, he
had the temporalities thereof given-' to him on the
30th of Oct. and installation on the 14th of Nov.
the same year. While he sate there, which was
but for a short time, he was esteemed a man of
parts, knowing in divinity and the laws, was very
vigilant and active for the good both of the eccle-
siastical and civil state. In Oct. 1632 he was elected
bishop of Bath and Wells, upon the translation of
Dr. Curie to Winchester ; the temporalities of which
see being given * to him on the 20th of December
the same year, he continued there, without any
other translation, to the time of his death. As for
his actions done in his diocese of Bath and Wells

before the grand rebellion broke out, which were
very offen.sive to the puritanical )iarty, (who often
attested that he brought itmovations therein and into
his church, stippressed preaching, lectures, and per-
secuted such >\lio refused to rail in the Lord's table,
&c. in his diocese) let one of them named William
Pryime a great enemy to the hierarchy ^ speak, yet
the reader may be pleased to suspend his judgment,
and not to believe ali which that partial, crop-carM
and stigiuatized person saith. When the bishops
were silencM, and their lands sold by that parlia-
ment, called by the fiction the blessed parliament,
he lived retiredly on a considerable estate of his
own, (sometimes at Cudesden near Oxon) and mar-
ried a second wife, which is well known to all the
neighbourhood there; yet the said Mr. Prynne
would needs persuade ' us ' that he was reduced to
such extremity, that in November 1655 he went to
an honourable knight of his acquaintance in West-
minster, and complained to him that he had not
bread for him and his to put in their mouths, in-
treating his favour to procure any lect. or curates
place for him tho' never so mean (which he, by all
the friends he had, could no where obtain) to keep
him from starving. Whereupon the knight minded
him of his former speeches and cruelty towards
other lecturers and ministers, whom (as lie added)
he reduced to extreani poverty ; wishing him to take
special notice how God had justly requited him in
his own kind, so as himself would now turn lecturer,
or the meanest curate under others, in his old age,
to get but a meer subsistence, and yet none will en-
tertain him, as himself confessed, in any place. So
as the judgment threatned again.st Ely his posterity,
1 Sam. 2. 36, was then actually fallen on that great
prelate,' &c. In 1660 he was restored to his bishop-
rick, and by the great fines and renewings that then
came in, he was rewarded in some degree for his
sufferings : but his said second wife, too young and
cunning for him, got what she could from the chil-
dren he had by his first wife, aiwl wheedling him to
Walthamstow in Essex got thousands of pounds and
his plate from him (as the common report at AVells
is) which of right should have gone to his said chil-
dren. He died at that place in the month of Apr.
in sixteen hundred and seventy, and was privately
biu'ied in the parochial church there by the care of
his said wife. He hath two sermons in print,

of the parish of I^edbury in Herefordshire, and he
the son of Stephen, was born at Pisford, educated
in grammar learning in a school at Brixworth near
to that place, adnntted scholar of Trinity coll. an.
1607, aged 16 years, and six years after fellow, he
being then bach, of arts. Afterwards proceeding in
his faculty, he took holy orders, and became a noted
tutor in the coll. and some of his pupils proved af-
terwards men of note, as WilL Chillingworth, Rich.
Newdigate a judge, &c. In 1621 he was admitted
to the reading of the sentences, and afterwards going
to London was unexpectedly chose preacher of S.
Gregory's church near S. Paul's cathedral, where
preaching twice every Sunday for nine years, ob-
tainetl love, honour and applause, especially from
the puritans. When Dr. Laud became bishop of
London, he caused him to be sworn chaplain in or-
dinary to his majesty, and endeavoured to take him
off from the principles that he then profes.sed, was
made rector of Launton near Bister in Oxfordshire
and minister of Greensnorton.' In the month of
July or thereabouts, an. 1636, he being elected
bishop of Bristol, was, as bishop elect of that place,
diplomated doctor of div. of this university, on the
13th of AugiLst the same year, and having the tem-
poralities thereof given* to him on the" 20th of Ja-
nuary following, had liberty allowed to him to keep
Launton and Greensnorton in commendam with the
said see. In the beginning of 1641 he was trans-
lated to the sec of Oxon, on the death of Dr. Ban-
croft, and soon after being one of the twelve bishops
that subscribed a protestation in behalf of them-
selves, against the immoderate proceedings of the
pari, then sitting, was impeached by the members
thereof of high treason, and committed prisoner to
the tower of London, where continuing 18 weeks to
his great charge, was upon bail, released : where-
upon retiring to his rectory of Launton, which he
kept also in commendam with Oxon, lived there re-
tiredly, and submitt-ed so much to the men of those
times, that he kept the said rectory, when the rest
of his spiritualities were lost, mccrly, as 'twas sup
posed, for the bare maintenance of himself and chil-
dren; in which time, he did usually, as 'tis said, [1157]
read the common prayer, and confer orders accord-
ing to the church of Engl. After his majesty's re-
turn in 1660, he was restored to his bishopricK, be-

THOMAS BAYLY an English man bom, was
originally of this university, afterwards of Dublin in
Ireland, whence flying in the time of the rebellion,
he retired to Oxon, and there became one of the
jK'tty canons or chapl. of Ch. Ch. as the antients
there have informed me, but how long he continued
in that place, I cannot tell. After his maj. restora-
tion he became D. of D. and dean of Downe, and
upon the death of Dr. H. Hall was made bishop of
Killala and Achonry, to which receiving consecra-
tion' on the 5th of June 1664, sate there till the
time of his death, which hapning in July or there-
abouts in sixteen hundred seventy and one, was 1C71.
buried, as I presume, near the body of his prede-
cessor in the cath. ch. of Killala. Qu.

[Thomas Bayly (for a time province-chancellor
of the university of Dublin ") was born in Rutland-
-shirc, educated at Cambridge, but took his degree
of D. D. in the univ. of Dublin. Pic was taken
from Cambridge by Dr. Augustine Lindsell, pre-
bendary of Durham, and employed by him as his
amanuensis. When Dr. Lindsell was promoted to
the sees of Peterborough and Hereford, lie took him
with him as his chaplain ; and set him about tran- '
scribing the Greek fathers, which that bishop was
preparing for the press ; but the bislioji dying before
the same was compleatcd he left the manuscript
with this his chaplain, cnjoyning him to deliver it to
archbishop Laud. The archbishop, knowing his
worth, received him with great kindness, bestowed
on him the parsonage of Brasted in Kent, worth
about 200/. per ann. and required him to take all
imaginable care about the editiorrof the Greek fa-
thers ; which he readily undertook. He afterwards,
considering his skill in the Greek language, pitched
on him as the fittest person in England to jjc sent
to the Levant to collect Greek manuscripts. But
the archbishop, falling under his troubles, that de-
sign proved abortive. He was sequestred and
stripped of all his ecclesiastical preferments ; which,
with the misfortunes of the archbishop, j)ut a stop
to his intention of publishing the fathers : however
he contrived to jjrint Theophilact, which he pub-
lished in folio, Lond. 1636, and dedicated to the
archbishop. After his sequestration, he came to
London, and taught a private school at Clcrkenwell,
near that city for a subsistence. But he was found
out by some of his malicious enemies in Kent, and
thrown into prison for some small debts, which he
had contracted, and was unable to pay, by reason

of the sequestration. I3ut these being at last dis-
charged by soiTie of" iiis fncnds, and he set at iiljcrly,
he went to Oxford, and was made a chaplain of Cn.
Ch. which situation he was deprived of by the vi-
sitors during the civil wars. Alter this, Dr. Jeremy
Taylor who valued him for his great learning and
integrity, took him to Irelandj where they remained
together till tiie restoration. Dr. Bayly then re-
turned into England, and was immediately pro-
moted to the deanery of Down, to which he was
presented by the crown Feb. 13, 1660; he was af-
terwards advanced to the sees of Killala and Achonry
by letters patent dated March 1, 1663 (in which
was an exception of that portion of tythos called the
' quarta pars cpiscopalis,' enjoyed by former bishops
of Killala,) and was consecrated in the cathedral of
Tuam, on Trinity Sunday 1664, by the bishops of
Clonfert and Elphin. When he was going over to
Ireland to take possession of his bishopricks, he ]iut
hi* goods and books on board a small vessel, which
',vas lost in a storm, and with it all his library and
jiapers ; and what he more especially regretted, the
Greek manuscripts of the fathers irrecoverably pe-
rished. Bishop Bayly died at Killala, of an apo-
plexy, July 20, 1670, not 1671, as recorded by
Wood. Besides Theophilact's Comments on St.
Paul mentioned above, Dr. Bayly wrote A Sermon
preacKd in the Qiiife of Clirifst Church 0.iwi, be-
fore King Charles the First, in the Time of the
Great Rebellion, jjrinted in Gaudy's Bihliotheca
Scriptorum Ecclesiw AngUcana. Lond. 1709. 8vo.

execution of ecclesiastical censures against the dis-
senters, on which subject see a curious anecdote in
G^ndy's preface, reprinted in Walker's Sufferings
of the Clergy, p. 202.]

JOHN LESLEY, was born of the antient fa-
mily of his name of Balquhaine in the north parts
of Scotland, and nearly related to both the count
Lesleys, who successively have rendred themselves
conspicuous by their arms in Germany, received
some academical education in his own country (at
Aberdeen as I have heard) and afterwards for some
time in Oxon ; but whetlrer he took a degree there
in arts it appeal's not. " One Dr. John Lesley a
" Scot studied in the public library, A. D. 1618,
" perhaps the same pei-son." Afterwards he tra-
velled into Spaiuy Italyand Germany, but most in
France, where he perfected-his-'studics, and became
remarkable for the most polite and abstruse points
of learning. He spoke French, Spanish and Italian
equal to the natives, and had such an extraordinary
command of the Latin ttrngue, that it was said of
him when he was in Spain, ' solus Lesleius Latine
loquitur.' He was from his tender years conversant
in courts, where lie learned that address and free-
dom which was peculiar to his education, and gave
a particular air even to his preaching. Whence it
was said of him, and another bishop of his name,

that ' no man preached more gracefully than the
one, nor with more authority than the other.' These
accomplishments intr(xluc'(l him to be treated, even
with familiaritv, by several princes and great men
abroad : and be was particularly happy in the goo<l
esteem of his majesty king Charles L who adinitte<)
him to sit at his council table both in Scotland and
Ireland, (as his father king James had done for the
first) in both which he was continued by king Charles
II. His chiefest advancement in the cliurch of Scot-
land was the episcopal see of the Isles, where sitting
several years, not without troid)le from the faction,
he was translated to the see of Ilaphoe in Ireland,
an. 1633, and the same year was made one of bis
maj. privy council in that kingdom. When he first
came to the said diocese, he found the revenue of
the bishoprick much embezel'd, several gentlemen
in that country having ingrossed great part of it to
themselves, and combin'd together to maintain what
they had got : But so it was, that he by his activity,
did, tho' a stranger, retrieve from them by an ex-
pensive suit at law what they had gotten, and by
that means increased the revenue of the said see of
Ilaphoe near a third part. He built a noble and
stately palace for his successors the bishops of Ila-
phoe, there being none in that diocese before his
access to it. He contriv'd it for strength as well as
beauty, which proved of good use in that broken
country, for it held out against the Irish, during
the whole rebellion of 1641, and preserved great

ijart of that country. When thq said rebellion
)roke out, and the Irish rebels spread over the
country, and all men forced to fight for their lives,
and particularly those under liis protection and in
his diocese, yet he would not take upon him any
military command, as not becoming his character,
tho' in effect he performed the office of a general
among them, even to the exposing his person, when-
ever there was occasion ; of which a remarkable in-
stance is told us in the epist. to the reader to the
Hist, ofjhe execrable Irish Rebellion, written by
Dr. Edw. Borlase, viz. That when sir Ralph Gore
at Matchribeg, with many other British inhabitants,
were reduced to great extremity by a long siege,
and a necessity of a sudden surrender of themselves
without hope of quarter, to the enraged cruelty of
the Irish ; the bishop sallied forth amidst the flames
of the whole country, and relieved him, at that time
reduced to such streights, as he and they were
forcetl to cast their dishes into ball. I say that after
the Laggan forces consisting of three regiments had
refused the hazard of a relief, the said bishop with
his company, tenants and friends, did attempt and
perfect it, evidencing at that Instant, as much per-
sonal valour as regular conduct, which is at this day
rcmembred in Iix-land with much astonishment.
After the rebellion, when his majesty's cause (king
Charles I.) was there maintiiined by tfie royalists
and such that had fled into Ireland, after the de-
clension of his cause m England, he raised a foot-

coiTumny, and luaintaiiied them at liis own charges,
while his affairs liad any prospect, for he was loyal,
if it was p)ssil)le, to excess. He enduntl a siege in
his castle of Raphoe before he would surrender it
to Oliver, and held out the last in that country. He
declared then against the presbyterian, as well as
popish, pretences for rebellion, and would neither
)oin in the treason nor schism of those times, but
lield unalterably to the practice, as well as principles
of the church of England ; whose liturgy he con-
tinued always in his family after he was thrust out
of the church. And even in Dublin, he had fre-
quent confirmations and ordinations ; for which,
tlio'' he was persecuted by the faction, yet he per-
sistcti, and several of the presi'iit Irish clergy (of
whom the archb. of Tuam is one) were then as con-
fessors admitted into holy orders by him. After
liis majesty''s restoration, he went into England to
present himself to him, and flew with that zeal that
tie rode from Chester to London, which is 150 miles,
ril591 '^^ ^'^ hours. In 1661 he was translated to the see
of Clogher, upon the translation thence of Dr. Hen.
Jones to jVIeath, (who had succeeded in Clogher
Dr. James Spotswood a Scot, buried in S. Benedict's
chappel in tne abbey church at Westminster, 31
March 1645.) and afterwards his maj. would have

Eromoted him to a see more profitable in requital of
is great sufferings, but he excused himself, and
was resolved to end his labours among those with
whom he had suff'er\l, and where his influence was
most beneficial. He was a person very temperate,
which was the reason that he attained to a great
age, and was so great a stranger to covctousness that
he hardly understood money, which yet he took
care to employ to the best uses. His memory was

He wrote several treatises curious and learned,
which were designed to see the light, but were all
lost together with his great library of many years

partly by the protestant army in the time of king
William III. an. 1689, 90. He died in sixteen

and more, being then, as 'twas computed, the an-
tientest bishop in the world, having been above 50
years a bishop. His death liapned at his seat called
Castle Lesley alias Glaslogh, and was there bm'ied
in a church of his own building, which he had made
the parish church by virtue of an act of parliament
for that purpose in "Ireland : which churcli was con-

1672, having before published an Exposition on the

canon law upon the coming of the prince of Tus-
cany to Cambr. in the beginning of 1669, he being
then under-keeper of bis maj. library at S. James's.^
He was a most excellent scholar, a most admired
Grecian, and a great traveller. He died in the
summer time, an. 1670, being then, as 'twas vulgarly
reported, a Roman catholic.

FRANCIS DAVIES a Glamorganshire-man
born, became a student of Jes. coll. an. 16^8, aged
17 years, took the degr. in arts, and was made fel-
low of the said bouse. About that time entring
into holy orders, he became beneficed in AVales,
and in 1640 was admitted to the reading of the sen-
tences. Afterwards suffering much for the king's
cause, lived as opportunity served, and was involved
in the same fate as other royalists were. But being
restored to what he had lost, after his maj. restora-
tion, he was actually created D. of D. in the begin-
ning of the year 1661, being then archd. of LandafF
in the place of Tho. Prichard. In 1667 he was
made bishop of Landaff on the death of Dr. Hugh
Lloyd, paid his homage on the 4th of Sept. the
same year, and about that time was consecrated.*
He concluded his last day in the latter end of six-
teen hundred seventy and four, and was burled, as

WILLIAM FULLER, son of Tho. Fuller, was
born in London, educated in the coll. school at
Westminster, became a commoner of Magd. hall in
1626 or thereabouts, aged 18 years, took the de-
gree of bach, of the civil law six years after, as a
member of S. Edm. hall, having translated himself
thither some time before. About that time he en-
tred into holy orders, was made one of the chaplains
or petty canons of Ch. Ch. and when the king had
taken un his bead quarter at Oxon in the time of
the rebellion, he became chapl. to Edw. lord Little-
ton lord keeper of the great seal there. Afterwards,
upon the declension of the king's cause, he suffer'd
as others did, taught a private school at Twittenham
or Twickenham in Middlesex, in the reigns of Oliver
and Richard, and endeavoured to instill principles
of loyalty into his scholars. At length upon the
restoration of king Charles II. he was nominated
dean of S. Patrick's church near Dublin, and in
August the same year was actually created doctor
of the civ. law, as a member of S. Edm. hall, by
virtue of the chancellor's letters written in his behalf,
which say that ' he is a worthy and learned person
and hath suffered much for his loyalty to his ma-
jesty,' &c. Afterwards he went into Ireland, was
installed dean of the said ch. on the, 21st of Octob.
following, and continuing in that dignity till 1663,
he was made bishop of I^imerick and Ardfert in
that kingdom ; to which being consecrated* on the [1161]
20th of March the same year, according to the En-
glish accompt, sate there (tho' much of liis time was
-spent in England) till 1667, and then upon Dr. B.
L.tney's removal to Ely, on the death of Dr. Matth.
Wren, he was translated to the see of Lincoln (after
ho had taken a great deal of pains to obtain it) on
the 28th of Sept. the same year. He paid his last
debt to nature at Kensington near London, on the
22d of April in sixteen hundred seventy and five ; i&jb.
whereupon his body being carried to Lincoln, was
buried in the catbetlral church there. In the after-
noon of the very same day that he died. Dr. Tho.
Barlow provost of Queen's coll. did, by the endea-
vours or the two ° secretaries of state (both formerly
of his coll.) kiss his majesty's hand for that see, and
accordingly was soon after consecrated. The said

doing ; wherein, as in many things he did, he would
without doubt have quittetl himself well, as much
to tlie instruction of the living, as honour of the
dead : and therefore it was lamented by some, that
any thing should divert him from doing so accept-

closed up his much desired life, has deprived us of"

WALTER BLANDFORD, sou of a father of
both his names, was born at Melbury Abbats in
Dorsetshire, became a servitor or poor scholar of
Ch. Ch. an. 1635, aged ^ nineteen years, admitted
scholar of Wadh. coll. on the 1st of Oct. 1638, at
which time he said he was bom in 1619, took the
degrees in arts, and in 1644, July 2, he was ad-
mitted fellow of the said coll. In 1648 when the
visitors were appointed by parliament to eject all
such from the university, that would not take the
covenant or submit to their power, they did not eject
him, which .shews that he did either take the cove-
nant or submit to them ; and about the same time
obtaining leave to be absent, he became chapl. to
John lord Lovelace of Hurley in Berks and tutor
to his son John, to whom also afterwards he was
tutor in Wadh. coll. In 1659 he was elected and
admitted warden of that coll. and in the year after,
in Aug. he was, among many, actually created D.
of D. being about that time chapl. to sir Edw. Il^-de
lord chanc. of England, who obtained for him the
same year a prebendship in the ch. of Glocestcr, and
a chaplainship in ord. to his majesty. In 1662 and
63 he did undergo the office of vicechanc. of this
univ. not without some pedantry, and in 1665 be-
ing nominated bishop of Oxon, on the death of Dr.
Will. Paul, was elected thereunto by the dean and
chapter of Ch. Ch. on the 7th of Novemb. confirmed
in S. Mary's church in Oxon on the 28th of the
said month, and on the 3d of Dccemb. following, in
the same year of 1665 (the king and the qu. with
their courts being then in Oxon) he was consecrated
in New coll. chap, by the bishops of London, Glo-
cester and Exeter. Soon after he was made dean
of the royal chappel, and upon the death of Dr.
Skinner, was translated to the see of Worcester in
the church of S. Mary Savoy in the Strand near
London, on the 13th of June 1671. This Dr.

Anthony Sparrow D. D. bp. of Exeter, who after
his translation, was confirmed on the 18th of Sept.

death. This learned doctor, who was the son of a
wealthy farmer named Samuel Sparrow, was liorn
at Depden in Suffolk, educated in Qu. coll. in Cam-
bridge, of which he was successively scholar and
fellow, but ejected thence, with tiie rest of the so-

the benefice of Hawkden in his native country, but
by that time he had held it five weeks, where he
read the Common-Prayer, he was ejected thence by
the committee of religion sitting at Westminster.
After the restoration of his majesty he returned to
his living, was elected one of the preachers at S.

told you in the first part of the Fasti under the
year 1577. Soon after he became master of the

after resigned Hawkden to his curate, having before

Ashbourne in Derbysliire, was l)om tliere on the
19th of July 159>S, and had his Christian name
given to him at his baptization by Gilbert earl of
Shrew.sbury, to whom his father was a menial ser-
vant. In the latter end of 1613 lie l)ecame a com.
of Trin. coil, and proceeding in arts seven years
after, was, in the year 1622, elected fellow of that
of Alls, and about the same time t(K)k holy orders.
Afterwards he was made domestic chapl. to Tlio.
lord Coventry lord keeper of the great seal, who
finding him to be a man of part.s, recommended him
to king Charles I. as a person well ver.s'd in |X)Utics.
In 1634 he proceeded in divinity, being then, as it
seems, preb. of Glocester,' and in the latter end of
the year following he was elected warden of his coll.
About the same time he became chaplain in ordi-
nary to his majesty, was afterwards clerk of his
closet, and by him designed to be master of the
hospital called the Savoy, atid dean of Westm. that
he might the better attend on his royal person ; but
the change of the times and rebellion that followed,
hindred his settlement in them. Duiing the time
of the said rebellion he adhered to his maj. and his
cause, and therefore was not only ejected his war-
denship, but also imprisoned with Dr. H. Hammond
in Oxon, and elsewhere, by the visitors appointed
by pari. an. 1648, to the end that their eminency
in the univ. might not hinder their proceedings,
and to keep them both from attending the king at
the treaty in the isle of Wight. After he was re-
leased, he retired to his friends in Staffordshire,*
Nottinghamshire, and Derbyshire,' whence and
where, from his own purse and from others which
he made use of, he sent constantly moneys to the
exird king, followed his studies and devotions till
matters tended to a happy restoration of his maj.
On the 4th of March 1659, Dr. Joh. Palmer, who
had usurp'd his wardenship almost 12 years, died,
at which time there being an eminent foresight of
his maj. return, there was no election made of a
successor, only a restitution of Di". Sheldon ; who
instead of re-taking possession in person (which he
never did) was made dean of his maj. chap, royal
and nominated to succeed Dr. Juxon in London,
upon his translation thence to Canterbury ; where-
upon being consecrated thereunto in the chapel of
king Henry VII. at Westm. by the bishop of Win-
chester (delegated thereunto by Canteroury) as-
sisted b}' York, Ely, Rochester and Chichester, on
the 28th of Oct. (S. Sim. and Jude) an. 1660, sate

of that great and |X)puIous city, till the decease of
the said Dr. Juxon ; and then being elected to suc-

where he sate to the time of his death.* In 1667
Dr. Sheldon was elected chancellor of the univ. of
Ox. but was never install'd, nor ever was there after
that time, no not so much as to see his noble work
caird the Theatre, or ever at Canterbury to be there
personally installed archbishop, or upon any other
occasion while he was archbishop. At length ar-
riving to a fair age, he surrendred up his soul to
God on Friday about seven of the clock at night,

of piety and charity were many in his life-time, as
(1) the building of the theatre at Oxon, which cost
him more than 16 thousand pounds, besides the
gift of 2000/. to buy lands worth an 100/. per an.
to keep it in repair. Tliis noble structure was built
chiefly for the celebration of the public acts, yet
since neglected. (2) The fair library at Lambeth-
house, built at his own charge. (3) Two thousand
pounds towards the structure of S. PauFs cathedral.
(4) Considerable sums of money to Trin. coll. in
Oxon, and Trin. coH. in Camb.' besides great and
large sums of money annually bestowed, some to
public, and some to private, charities. His legacies
at his death for charitable uses came to 1500/. which
afterwards were paid, part to Alls. coll. part to the
church of Canterbury, part to the hospital of Har-
bledown in Kent, and the rest to indigent persons.
I have heard sir Joseph Sheldon before-mention'd
say (who dying " the 16th of Aug. 1681," was
buried near to the body of his uncle) that from the
time of Dr. Sheldon's being made bishop of Tendon,
to the time of his death, it did appear in the Ixwk
of his accompts, that he had bestowed upon public,
pious and charitable u.scs, about threescore and six
thousand pounds. In his archbishoprick succeeded
Will. Sancroft D. D. dean of S. Paul's cathedral
church in London," and sometime fellow of Eman.
coll. in Cambridge ; who, after he had l)een nomi-

in tlie innin. He was huried privately in tiie evening ofllie

church of Fresinaficld, in the ch. yard, which pla( e he inarle
choice of in 10*7, after his nomination and election to Can-
terbury, but beiorehis instalment, at which time he went to
visit his friends and native soyl, and then told llieni, that if
he chance 10 dye in the country he designed that pLice for
his interment. Upon the wall he ordered ibis senience of
scrrptnre to be written. As llie tiglitning which comethj'rom
the East and sliinclh even lo the fVest, even so shall the com-
7ning iif the Son of Man be.

He ordered a plain inscription for his monument or grave-
stone in English and Lai. The English consists pretty much
of scripiiire.

Many pious speeches and fervent prayers proceeded from
him during his sickness. He prayed particularly with great
zeil and aHecti(jn for the king by nanie, for our persecuted
and distressed church, for the afflicted members in this pre-
sent storme, to whom he hath bequeathed some charitable
legacies.

One Mr lulwards of E)e, a depriv'd clergyman,

attended him during his illness, nor did he permit his com-
plying chaplaiiies, or any other coni|)lyiiig clergy-men so
much as to say gr..cc.

There is a very honorable cbarncler given of him in the
Paris Gazel, which was published about the bey;int)ing of
Dec. Ib'g'), running thus.

Dr. Will. Sancroft arclib. of Canterbury, who since the
present revolutions had couiaiiously resisted both promises
and thrcatnings to the loss of his g'jods an<l eaale, and vviih-
slooJ the violence wherewith he had been at lust di-prnlcd
of his di^nilv acainst all law and rcgnl irity, and who had al-
waies shew'd himself faithfuU and loyal to his lawful sove-
raigne, died last week at his house in llie couniy of .Sulfolk.
He was nominated archbish<ip«f Cant, in Ki/T, having suc-
ceedid Dr. Siieldim, renowned Rt luyahie, his knowledge
and liberality to learned men.

After his death there were several lockets made to his me-
mory. One, which had the foundation of il in gold, had

thereon a death's head over two men's bones cOfe«J^ia put

a-crnss, and v^orked with liis (the archbishop's) haire of his

Archbishop Sancroft had been rector of Houghton in-the-
Spring, CO. Durham ; prebendary of Durham ; areh-deacon
of Canterbury ; dean of York ; and then of St. Paul's. Tan-
ker.]

The first who publickly denied the pope to be
anti-christ in Oxon was my late lord archbishop Dr.
Sheldon. The doctor of the chair. Dr. Prideaux,
wondering at it, said — Quid, ml Jilt, negas papam
esse anticiiristum ? Dr. Sheldon answered — Etiam
nego. Dr. Prideaux replied — Prqf'ecto multum tibi
debet pontifex Romanns, et nullus diibito quin pileo
cardinalitio te donabit.^ Kennet.

Gilbert Sheldon incorporated A. B. at Cambridge
1619. Cole.

He was presented to the rectory of Ickford,
Buckinghamshire, and by archbishop Laud to that
of Newington, Oxfordshire.

Bishop Burnet's character of Sheldon is this:
' He was accounted a learned man before the wars,
but he was now engaged so deep in politics, that
scarce any prints ot what he had been remained.
He was a very dextrous man m business, had a
great quickness of apprehension, and a very true
judgment. He was a generous and charitable man.
He had a great pleasantness in conversation, per-
haps too great. He had an art that was peculiar to
him of treating all that came to him in a most ob-
hging manner ; but few depended much on his pro-
fessions of friendship. He seemed not to have a
deep sense of religion, if any at all, and spoke of it
most commonly as of an engine of government, and
a matter of policy.' Very likely he did not seem to
have a deep sense of religion (says the writer of
Sheldon's life in the BiograpMa) because he did not
cant so much about it, as bishop Burnet, and per-
sons of his cast.

The following account of the papers relating to
archbishop Sheldon in the Lambeth library was
communicated to me by the rev. H. J. Todd, whose
readiness to assist every literary undertaking and
whose personal kindness to me on all occasions I am
most happy to acknowledge.

JOHN PARRY, sometime of Trin. coll. near
Dublin, afterwards fellow of Jesus coll. in this
univ. was consecrated bishop of Ossory in Ireland
on the death of Griff. Williams in the beginning of
tlie year 1672, and diet! a little before the Nativity

1677. in sixteen hundred seventy and seven ; under which
year you may see more among the writers, vol. iii.
col. 1143. In the said see succeeded his brotlier
Benj. Parry, as I am now about to tell you.

BENJAMIN PARRY, sometime of Trinity
coll. near Dublin, afterwards of Jesus in this uni-
versity, and at length fellow of Corp. Ch. was con-
secrated bp. of Ossory in Jan. 1677, and died in the

1678. beginning of October, in sixteen hundred seventy
ami eight, under which year you may see more of
him among the writers, vol. iii. col. 1172. In the
said see succeeded Dr. Michael Ward, as I have
elsewhere told you.

RALPH BRIDEOAKE, son of Rich. Bride-
cake (by Cicely his wife, daughter of Joh. Booth of
Lancashire) and he the son of another Richard of
Adbaston, was born, as I have been informed, at
Chitham Hill near ^lanchester in the said county,
•was admitted a student in Brasen-n. coll. the 15th
of July 1630, aged 16 years, took one degree in
arts, and determining soon after, his disputations
did so much please Dr. Pink warden of New coll.
then vicechancellor of the univ. that he forthwith,
upon enquiry that his condition was mean, made him
a pro-chaplain of the said New coll. In 1636, he,
among many others, was actually created master of
arts, by virtue of his maj. letters dated at Oxon, he
being then accounted a good Grecian and poet:
. but having nothing to keen up the degree of mast.
only his employment in tlie said coll. he became
curate of Wytham near Oxon, for Dr. Joh. Briken-
[1165] den sometime of Magd. college, and corrector of the
press in Oxon. In which last employment, liap-
ning to correct a book of Dr. Thomas Jackson pre-
sident of Corpus Christi coll. to whom he had often
recess, that doctor had such an affection for him,
that u|)on the vacancy of the free-school at Man-
chester, founded by bishop Hugh Oldham (of which
the president of the said coll. for the time beuig is

patron) he forthwith gave the government of it to
him. So that being soon after settled there, he, by
his interest and great forwardness, became chap, to
the earl of Derby, whom and his family he much

t)leased : and when Latham-house in Lancash. be-
onging to the said count was besieged by the forces
belonging to parliament, he was dl the time in it,
and did g(X)(l service. When the king's cause de-
clined he stuck c;lose to the said family, and ma-
naged, as 'tis said, most of the estate belonging to
it. In 1651 his lord James earl of Derby being
engaged for king Charles II. at Worcester fight,
and before, he was, after the loss of the day, taken
by the parliamenteers in Cheshire : whereupon he
being like to lose his life, this his chapl. Mr. Bride-
oake, with others, were desired to solicit tlie gran-
dees at Westm. to save him ; and Will. Lenthall
the speaker of the house of com. being much plyed
by the said chapl. with more than ordinary reason
and application, Lenthall thereupon (when he saw
nothing could save his lord's life) finding him to be
a man of parts and business, made him his own
proper chapl. and soon after preacher of the Rolls
m Chancery-lane : which act of his, tho' noble and
generous, yet he was clamour'd at, and gained the
ill will of divers members of parliament, for his en-
tertaining openly, and afterwards preferring, a ma-
lignant, as they term'd him. Soon after by Lent-
hall's endeavours he became vicar of a market town
in Oxfordshire called Whitney, where being setled,
he preached twice every I^ord's day, and in the
evening catechised the youth in his own house, out-
vying in labour and vigilancy any of the godly
brethren in those parts.^ He also, by his patron's
means, got the rectory of the said place (which had
been leased out) to be annexed to the vicaridge,
whereby it became one of the richest rectories in
Oxford diocese ; and not long after ' he was made
minister of S. Bartholomew's near the Royal-ex-
change in London,^ where in holding forth, preach-
ing, and laj^ing about liim in the pulpit, he equalled
any of the holy brethren of that city. On the 14di
of March 1659 he was appointed one of the com-
missioners by act of parliament for the approbation
and admissi(m of ministers of the gospel after the
presbyterian mode : but that act soon after vanishing
upon the approach of his majesty's restoration, he,
by his unwearied diligence and application, was
made chapl. to his majesty, installed canon of Wind-
sor, in the place of Dr. Tho. Howell bishop of
Bristol (several years before dead) on the 11th day
of July,' and actually created D. of D. in the bcgin-

ning of" Aug. following, an. IC6O. About that time
he became rector of the rich church ' of Standish in
his native country, given formerly to him by the
earl of Derby, but hindered from enjoying it by the
triers in Oliver's reigns, between whom and him
followed some controversy concerning that matter,
but how terminated I cannot tell. In Sept. 1667
lie was made dean of Salisbury in the place of Dr.
Rich. Baylie deceased, and in Febr. 1674 he was
by the endeavours of Lotlovi.sa dutchess of Ports-
mouth (whose hands were always ready to take
bribes) nominated by the king to be bishop of Chi-
chester, on the translation of Dr. Peter Gunning
from thence to Ely. So that being consecrated
thereunto on the 18th day of April an. 1675, had
liberty then allowed to him to keep his canonry of
AVindstJr [and rectory of Standish '] in conniiendam
with that see, which he did to his dying day. This
person, who had spent the chief part of his life in
continual agitation, for the obtainmg of wealth and
selling a family (for he was a married man, and left
behind liim three sons at his death) was suddenly
taken from this world as he was visiting his diocese,
on the filth day of Octob. in sixteen hundred seventy
and eight : whereupon his body being conveyed to
Windsor, was buried in Bray's chappel, joymng on
the south side to the outer chappel of S. George, in
the castle there. Soon after was a fair altar monu-
ment erected over his grave, with his statue from
head to foot, adorned with pontificalia (all curiously
cut from one entire piece of alabaster) lying there-
on, with this inscription engraven upon it. M. S.

JOSEPH HENSHAW, sometime a com. of
Magtlalen hall, became bishop of Peterborough,
upon the translation of Dr. Laney to Lincoln, in
the beginning of the year 1663, and died in the
latter end of sixteen hundred seventy and eight,
leaving then behind him this character in his diocese,
that ' he was a learned man and a good preacher,
but so proud and unhospitable, that in tliat respect
he deserved not the name of a bishop,' 1 have al-

ready mentioned him among the writers, under the
year 1678, vol. iii. col. 1195, and therefore I shall
only say that Dr. Will. Lloyd succeeded him in
Peterborough, and was confirm'd in that .see on the
17th of May 1679. Afterwards he was translated
to Norwich, where sitting with gcxxl approbation
till after king William III. came to the crown, he
was then depriv'd, as I have before told you in Dr.
E. Reynolds.

JOHN PRICHETT, [or Pricket, or Prich-
ARD°J son of Walter Prichelt of Hillenden in Mid-
dlesex (afterwards alderman [and lord mayor'] of
London, as his relations have told me) was bom
there, or in that county, admitted a student of Qu.
coll. in Mich, term 1622, aged 18 years, took the
degrees in arts as a member of S. Eclm. hall, that of
master being compleated in an act celebrated 1629.
Afterwards marrying an Oxford woman of inferior
note, he became beneficed in his own country, but
whether he suff'er'd for any cause during the civil
war I know not. Sure 'tis that he being vicar of
S. Giles's church near Cripplegate in London, after
the restoration of king Charles II.* and esteemed a
rich man, as indeed he was, he, by the endeavours
of Dr. Sheldon, archb. of Cant, had the poor bishop-
rick of Gloucester conferr'd on him, after the death
of Dr. Nicolson, with leave allowed to him to keep
the said church of S. Giles's in commendam with it.
So that being consecrated thereunto on the 3d day
of Nov. (being the first Sunday of that month) an.
1672, sate there till the time of his death, which
hapning at Harefield in Middlesex (where he had
an estate) on the first day of Jan. in sixteen hun-
dred and eighty, was buried on the seventh day of
the same month under the pulpit of the church there.
In the said see succeeded Dr. Robert Frampton of
Oxon, who sitting there with great liking till after
king William III. came to the crown, was then de-
prived of his bishoprick, for not taking the oaths of
allegiance and supremacy.

JOHN PARKER, was bom in the city of Dub-
lin, educated partly in the university there, and
partly in this, as a member of Ch. Cii. as I have
been not only informed there by certain seniors, but
also from DuWin. Afterwards he retired to his na-
tive place, became prebendary of S. Michan, and
much in respect there for his religion and learning.
Afterwards, in the times of usurpation, he was de-
prived' of all his spiritualities by O. Cromwell, and
by him cast into prison upon suspicion that he was
a spy from the marquess of Ormond. Afterwards
being freed by exchange, he constantly adhered to
the said marquess as long as he continued in Ire-
land : But when he withdrew himself thence into
France, Mr. Parker went into England, where
making a shift to rub out till his majesty's return,
went then into his own country, " at which time he
" was dean of Killala," and being nominated bishop
of Elphine, was consecrated thereunto in S. Pa-
trick's church on the 27th of Jan. 1660, he being
then doctor of divinity. In 1667, Aug. 9- he was
by letters patents then dated, made archbishop of
1 uam in the room of Dr. Sam. Pullen, and after-
wards archb. of Dublin in the place of Dr. Mich.
Boyle translated to Armagh. He died in the be-
ginning of January in sixteen hundred eighty and
one, and was buried, as I conceive, at Dublin :
whereupon Dr. Francis Marsh succeeded him in the
sec there. The said Dr. Parker hath extant J Ser-
mon preached before both Houses of Parliament in

Ireland; on 2 Sam. 19. 14. printed 1663. qu.

and, as I conceive, others.

HENRY BRIDGMAN, the third son of Dr.
John Bridgman bishop of Chester (who died an.

' Jac. Warseus in Com. de Prasutib. Hihern. p. £G0.

1652. aged 77 years) was Iwm in Northampton-
shire,' entred a commoner of Oriel coll. in the year
1629, aged 16 or thereabouts, elected fellow of that
of Brasen nose 6 Dec. 163.'J, being then bach, of
arts : afterwards he was actually created master of
that faculty, and in 1639 he resigned his fellowship,
being then, by the endeavours of his father, bene-
ficed or dignified, or both. In the time of the re-
bellion he did his majesty faithful service, and there-
fore was a sharer m afflictions, as other loyalists
were, occasioned by tiie violent proceedings of the
presbyterians. After his majesty's restoration, he
was elected dean of Chester in July, in the place of
Dr. Will. Nicolls, (who died in 1658) was actually
created D. of D. in the beginning of Aug. following,
and soon after installed in his deanery, and on the
22d of Septemb. 1660 installed preb. of Stillington
in the ch. of York, being about that time parson of
Bangor in Flintshire, and of Barrow in Cheshire.*
At length upon the translation of Dr. Is. Barrow to
the see of S. Asaph, being nominated bishop of the
Isle of ]\Ian by the earl of Derby, he was conse-
crated thereunto at Chester on Sunday the second
of Octob. 1671, having had liberty l)el()re granted
to him to keep his deanery in commendam with it.'
What the merits of this person were, except his
loyalty and his benefaction to the dean's house at
Chester, let others speak, while I tell you that he
giving way to fate on the 15th of jNIay in sixteen
hundred eighty and two (after he had had two
wives) was buried, as I suppose, in the cath. ch. at
Chester. Qu. In his deanery succeeded James Ar-
derne or Arden, D. D. whom I shall mention in the
Fasti an. 1673; and in the see of Man succeeded
Dr. John Lake, who, after nomination thereunto by
William earl of Derby, and the issuing out of a
commission for his consecration in the beginning of
Decemb. 1682, was accordingly soon alter conse-
crated. This person, who was born in Yorkshire,
was educated in S. John's coll. in Cambridge, was
afterwards rector of S. Botolph's church nearBlshops-
gatc in London,* instituted rector of Prestwych in
Lancashire 17 Octob. 1668, collated to the ])rebend-
ship of Friday Thorp in the church of York * upon
the resignation of Hen. Bagshaw bach, of div. in

EDWARD RAINBOW, son of Tho. Rainbow
a minister, by Rebecca his wife, daughter of Dav.
Allen rector of Ludbrough in Lincolnshire, was
born at Bliton near Gainsborough in the said county,
20 Apr. 1608, educated in grammar learning suc-
cessively at Gainsborough, I'eterborough, and at
Westminster, entred a student in Corp. Christi coll.
[11681 i" Oxon. in Jul. 1623, iiis elder brother John being
about that time fellow of the said house, but before
he had quite spent two years there, he was trans-
lated to Magd. coll. in Cambridge, where he was
admitted one of the scholars of Frances countess
dowager of Warwick, daughter of sir Christoph.
Wray lord chief justice of England. Afterwards
taking the degrees in arts, he became fellow,'' and a
noted tutor in that house. " In the year 1639 he
" was titular incumbent of Childerley near Cam-
" bridge, by the appointment of sir Joh. Cutts, and
" housliold chaplain to the earl of Suffialk,' by
" whose interest he became" master of his college in
Oct. 1642, (in the place of Dr. Hen. Smith de-
ceased) continued therein in the time of the rebel-
lion without being ejected with others that denied
, the covenant, coumiencVl doctor of div. in 1646, and
in 1650 lost his mastership for refusing a protesta-

engagement. Afterwards he became minister of
Chester.fbrd near Audley Inn in Essex, married
Elizabeth daughter of his predecessor Dr. Hen.
Smith ; and in the beginning of the yeiir 1659
became rector of Benefield in NorthaiDptonshire,^
which tho' of considerable value, yet by the favour
of friends he did not undergo the examination of
the tryers of that time, as he had not done for Ches-
terford. Upon his majesty s return in 1660, he
was restored to his mastersliip, was made chaplain
to his majesty, dean of Peterborough the same year,

of New coll. in Oxon, &c. became first bishop of
Chichester, afterwards of Ely; and dying in July
in sixteen hundred eighty and four (under which
year you may see more of him among the writers,
vol. iv. col. 140.) he was succeeded in Ely by Dr.
Franc. Turner bishop of Rochester, sometime fel-
low of New coll. who for refusing the oath of alleg.
and supremacy to king William III. was deprived
of it.

GEORGE MORLEY, sometime dean of Ch.
Church, was first bishop of Worcester (where he
was received and inthronized with very great solem-
nity on the 12th of Sept. 1661) and afterwards of
Winchester on the death of Dr. Duppa ; who dying
in the latter end of Octob. in sixteen hundred eighty 1684.

the breaking out of" the grand rebellion he took part
■with his majesty, and did him good service, being
then accoimted an excellent horsman in a double
sense, for which he had his share in sufferings as
other loyalists had. After the king's restoration he
was made one of his chaplains, was actually created
D. of D. in the beginning of Aug. 1660, made dean
of Carlisle in tlie place of Dr. Tho. Comber some-
time master of Trin. coll. in Cambridge (some years
before dead) and on the 2d of Nov. the same year
was installed prebendary of Durham. In 1671 he
was nominated bishop of Bristol on the death of Dr.
Gilb. Ironside, to which see being consecrated in S.
Peter's church at Westm. on the eleventh day of
Febr. in the same year, had, much about that time,
liberty allowed him to keep his prebendship ', in
commendam. In 1678 he was translated to Chi-
chester on the death of Dr. Brideoake, and was con-
firmed therein on the eighth day of January the
same year, but had not the name there for a scholar,
or liberal benefactor, as his predecessor and kinsman
had, named Dr. George Carleton. This Dr. Guy
Carleton died in the city of Westminster during his
attendance in parliament, on the sixth day of July
i68S. -in sixteen hundred eighty and five: whereupon his
body was conveyed, as I have been informed, to
Chichester, and buried in the oath. ch. there. In
the bishoprick of Bristol succeeded Dr. Wil. Goul-
son a Leicestershire man born, educated in S. John's
coll. in Cambridge,' and afterwards was chaplain to
the dutchess of Sommerset. He was consecrated at
Lambeth on the ninth day of Febr. 1678; and
dying at his rectory of Symondsbury in Dorsetshire
(to which he had been presented by the said
dutchess'^) on the fourth day of Apr. an. 1684, was
buried on the 18th day of the same month in the
chancel of the church of that town. In the see of
Chichester succeeded Dr. Carleton, the bishop of
Bristol, viz. Dr. Joh. Lake, m Aug. or Sept. 1685;
who was one of the seven bishops that were com-
mitted prisoners to the tower on the 8th of June
1688, for contriving, making, and publishing a se-
ditious libel against his majesty (king James II.)
and his government, thpt is, for subscribing a peti-
tion to his majesty, wherein he and the rest shewed
the great averseness they found in themselves to the
distributing and publishing in all their churches, his
majesty's then late declaration for liberty of con-
science, &c. After king William III. came to the
crown he was one of the bishops that denied the
oaths of allegiance and supremacy to him, and on

[Qua-re of the report that Dr. Guy Carleton at
the beginning of 1660 was imprisoned in Lambeth
house, and sentenced to death, but by the help of
his landress made his escape over the wall, took
boat down the river, and found a passage to Hol-
land, where he presented himself to the king at
Breda, who received him with great surprize and
joy, having heard that he was destined to execution
before that time. The same person informed me,
that he having been long used to feed on pulse only,
without any flesh, had in the beginning of the pari,
in 1685, a dish of kidney-beans provided for him,
and that a string of one of the bean pods stuck in
his throat, and was soon the cause of his death.

He had a rich living in the north, from which he
was ejected. Then he was presented to the vicarage
af Hartley-court in Berkshire, and was dispossessed
there also by the triers. After this, he was taken
up and imprisoned at Lambeth-house; but con-
triving his escape, his wife conveyed a cord to him,
by which he was to let himself out of a window to-
ward the Thames, where a boat was to wait for him.
The cord was too short, but he trusted to it rather
than stay where he was, and falling some part of the
way dislocated a bone. The boat carried him off,
and he lay concealed till he recovered ; then his wife
was forced to sell the bed from imder her, to pay
for the cure. He then got on shipboard and went
abroad to the king. Macro.' j

(by Elizabeth his wife, daufrlitcr of IIu<^h Williams
of Cyctiwillair in Caernarvonshire, a captain some-
time in Holland) son of Joh. Dolben of Haverfbrd
West in Pembrokeshire (descended from those of
his name in Denbij^hshire) by his wife Alice sister
to sir Tho. Middleton of Chirk Castle in the said
county of Denbigh, became bishop of Rochester in
the place of Dr. Warner an. 16()6, and in 1683 was
translated to the archiejiiscopal see of York.* He
died in the beginninjr of the year sixteen hundred
i68(i. eighty and six, under which year you may see more
oi' him among the writers, vol. iv. col. 188. In the
said see, after it had lain void till Nov. Ifi88, did
succeed Dr. Tho. Lamphigh bishop of Exeter, who
upon the prince of Orange's arrival in the V\ est, left
Exeter and retired to Lontlon to pay his respects to
king James II. which being taken very kindly by
that king, he translated him to York on the 15tn
[1170] of the said month. The said Dr. Joh. Dolben was
great nephew to Dr. Joh. Williams archb. of York,
and liatl much of his boldness and confidence in
him, but little of his learning. And whereas I have
told you that the said archb. Williams was, upon
supposal, buried at Aberconway (where he had built
an house in the place of that wherein he was born,
which he caused to be called Lincolns-inn) is false,
for he was buried in the church of Llandegay (which
signifies the church of S. Gay in the Uritish lan-
guage) near Bangor in Caernarvonshire, in which
parish Penrhyn the seat sometime of archb. Wil-
liams is situated. He died at Glodded of a quinsey
in his throat, which being sudden, he told his at-
tendants then by him, that nothing troubled him
more than that he should dye like a beast, that had
always liv'd like a gentleman, &c. Afterwards his
body being conveyed to Penrhyn, was thence carried
to the church at Llandegay, and there buried in a
little vault at the upper end of the chancel. Some
years after, his nephew and heir called sir Griffith
Williams erected on the south wall of the said
cliancel a very fair monument, containing the effigies
of the archbishop kneeling, carved and wrought
from white marble, with a large inscri| tion under
it, made by Dr. Joh. Hacket his sometime chaplain ;
the contents of which being large, I shall now for
brevity's sake pass by. But %yhereas the said dcx'tor
saith that he died 25 March 1650 is false, for he
'' died on that day in 1 649, aged 68 years or more.

you may sec more of him among the writers, vol.

IV. col. 193.) was succeeded in the said see by Dr.

Samuel Parker, as I have among the writers told

you, and shall among these bishops. He the said

Dr. Fell left behind him the character among some

men of a valdc vult person, who by his gra-sping at

and undertaking too many affairs relating to the

public (few of which he throughly effected) brought

him untimely to liis end to the loss of learning, &c.

JOHN LLOYD, son of Morgan Lloyd, was
born of an ancient family at Pentaine in Caerraar-
thenshire, became a student in Merton coll. in Lent
term 1655, aged 15 years or therealwuts, and took
one degree in arts as a member of that house. Af-
terwards he becamefellowof that of Jesus, principal
thereof on the resignation of sir Leolin Jenkyns, D.
of D. and treasurer of LandafT. In 1682, 83, and
84, he did execute the office of vice-chancellor of
this university ; and on the death of Dr. Laur.
Womack being nominated by king James II. to
succeed him in the see of S. David's, was conse-
crated thereunto at Lambeth on the 17th of Oct.
1686. Afterwards retiring to Oxon in a dropsical
condition, died in Jesus coll. on the thirteenth day I6"8?.
of Febr. following, being then the first Sunday in
Lent : whereupon his body was buried at the upper
end of the chappel belonging to that coll. near to the
grave of sir Leol. Jenkyns before-mention'd. To
the said see was nominated by the said king Dr.
Tho. Watson of S. John's coll. in Cambridge,' con-
secrated thereunto at Lambeth 26 June 1687, and
afterwards, upon dislike of his person, and for that
he had been recomrnended by the lord Dover to the
said king, he did suffer and endure many affronts
and intolerable abuses from the rabble, in Dec.
1688, just after the said king had left England for
France.'

Atkins, sherift' and commissary of Orkney, was Iwrn
in tlie town of Kirkwall in the stcwiirtry of Orkney
in Scotland, educated in the coll. of Edinburgh,
where he commenced master of arts, afterwards he
retired to Oxon to complcat his learning, especially
his divinity, by the advice, instruction and lectures
of Dr. Prideaux, an. 1637, 38, &c. Soon after he,
upon recommendations, Iwcanie one of the chaplains
to James marquess of Hamilton, at that time his
majesty's high commissioner for Scotland : In which
[1171] station he did acquit himself so well to the satisfac-
tion of his noble patron, that upon his return to
England he pRx?ured a presentation for him from
his majesty to the church of Kirsa in the stewartry
of Orkney : where continuing some years, his pru-
dence, diligence, and faithfulness in the discharge
of his office did procure him much of veneration and
respect from all persons, especially from his ordi-
nary, who conferred upon him the dignity of mo-
derator to the presbytery. In the beginning of the
year 1650, when the noble James marq. of Mon-
tross landed in Orkney, this Dr. Atkins was nomi-
nated by the unanimous votes of the said presbytery
to draw up a declaration in their names and his
own; which, with their approbation and consent,
was published, containing very great expressions of
loyalty, and constant resolution firmly to adhere to
their dutiful allegiance. For this the whole pres-
bytery being deposed by the general assembly of the
kirk at that time sitting at Edinburgh, the said doc-
tor was likewise excommunicated, as one that con-
versed with the said marquess, against whom they
had emitted the like brutnmjiilmen. At that time
the Scottish council past an act to apprehend him
the said doctor, to the end that he might be tried
for his life, but upon private notice from his kins-
man sir Archibald Primerose, at that time clerk to
the said council, he fled into Holland, wliere he
sculked till 1653, and then returning into Scotland,
he transferr'd his family to Edinburgh, where he
resided quietly and obscurely till the year 1660.
Upon the return then of his majesty king Charles
II. he attended Dr. Tho. Sydserf bishop of Gal-
loway (the only Scottish bishop who had the good
fortune to survive the calamities of the usurper's
government) to London, where the bisho]) of Win-
chester presented him to the rectory of Winfrith in
Dorsetshire, and continuing there till the year 1677,
he was elected and consecrated bish. of Murray in
Scotland, to the great rejoicing of the episcopal
party. In 1680 he was translated to the see of
Galloway, with dispensation to reside at Edinburgh,
because it was thought unreasonable to oblige a re-
verend prelate of his years to live among such a re-
bellious and turbulent people as those of that diocese
were : tlie effects of whose fiery zeal hath too fre-
quently appeared in affronting, beating, robbing,
wounding, and sometimes murdering the curates.
He had tlie oversight of the said diocese for 7 years,
which lie so carefully governed, partly by his pas-

toral letters to the synod, presbyteries and ministers,
and partly by his great pains in undertaking a very
great journey for a man of his age and infirmities to
visit his diocese, that had he resided on the j)laee
better order and discipline could scarce be expected.
He died at Edinburgh of an apoplexy on the 28th
of Octob. in sixteen hundred eighty and seven, aged
74 years : whereupon his body was decently inter'd
in the church of the Grey Friers there, at which
time John [Hamilton] then bishop of Dunkeld
(since deceased) preached his funeral sermon. His
death was sadly regretted by all goo<l and pious
men, who knew him to be a man of great reputation
for his sincere piety, constant loyalty, singular learn-
ing, and true zeal for the protestant religion, ac-
cording to the constitutions of^the church of England,
of which he lived and died a worthy member. Upon
his coffin was fastened this epitaph,

Maximus, Atkinsi, pietate, & maximus annis,
Ante diem, invita religione, cadis ;

Ni caderes, nostris inferret fbrsitan oris

llaud impune suos Roma superba Deos.

He was very zealous and vigorous in opposing the •
taking off the penal laws in Scotland ; at which
time, notwithstanding he was .so infirm by age and
sickness that he could not walk, yet he was daily
conveyed to the parliament, where he declared pub-
licly his aversion to the abolishing the said penal
laws, and to use his interest with the nobility and
gentry of the parliament in persuading them to a
firm and constant adherence to the protestant re-
ligion, and to oppose all the designs that might be
prejudicial to the same.

Job. Williams archb. of York then there, who made
him his chapl. and gave him the prebendship of
Ampleford in the church of York, which he Kept
to his death. After the decease of his father, which
was in the time of the troubles, he succeeded him
in the vicaridge of Ruabon, but was soon deprived
of it and his prebendship by the usurpers, til! re-
stored again to both by the happy revolution in 1660.
On the 13th of Aug. 1661 he was made canon of
S. Asa])h, and in the month following was actually
created D. of D. On the 14th of Dec. 1663 he was
installed dean of S. Asaph in the place of Dr. Dav.
Lloyd deceased,* and on the 19th of Dec. 1664 he
resigned the sinecure of Northop in Flintshire, in
which he was succeeded by Mr. Will. Stone princ.
of New-Inn itn Oxon. In 1673 he was removed
from Ruabon to the vicaridge of Gresford, vacant
by the death of his elder brother Mr. Sam. Lloyd,
and soon after succeeding Dr. Rob. Morgan in the
see of Bangor, was consecrated thereunto in the

the archdeaconries of Bangor and Anglesea, and tlie

merly bestowed by bishop Hen. Rowlands on the
ch. of Bangor to be all new cast, and added a fifth
bell bigger than the former, all at his own charge.

after to be a trinmier) took one degree in arts, left
the college without coinplcatiiig it by determination,
and what preferment he enjoyed afterwards in, or
near, the great city, I know not : * sure I am, that
several years after his majesty's restoration, he be-
came rector of Allliallowes Staining in Mark Lane
in London; in which place we find him in 1688,
when then, in tlie month of May or June, he, by
virtue of his majesty's declarations for liberty of
conscience, bearing date the 4th and 27tli of April
going before, did read in his church (wiicn the ge-
nerality of London ministers refused) the said de-
clarations in the time of service on a Sunday, or at
least gave half a crown to another (the parish clerk
I think) to do it : for which great service his then
majesty king James IL did confer upon him the
bislioprick of Oxon, void by the death of Dr. Sam.
Parker ; an act so egregiously resented by the true
sons of the church of England, that they look'd
upon it as a matter to bring their churcli into con-
tempt, by throwing upon it such an obscure person
to be a father, as he had before, two or more, &c.
without any regard had to merit. He was conse-
crated at I^ambeth by the archbishop of Canter-
bury, bishops of Chichester and Chester, on the 7th
of October 1688; but when he came into these
parts to see and take possession of his house at Cu-
desden, the dean and canons of Ch. Ch. refused to
install him, the gentry to meet or congratulate him,
the vicechancellor and heads to take notice of him,
or any master or bachelor to make application to,
or take holy orders from, him : so that when he was
in Oxon, at Whitsontide in the month of May
1689, Baptista, bishop of Man tiien there, did that
duty in Magd. coll. chapel on the 26li) of the said
month, at which time 84 persons, or thereabouts,
were ordained ministers. This Mr. Hall, called by
some Doctor, and by others Sir, died miserably
poor at Hackney i near London, on tiie tenth day
of Apr. in sixteen hundred and ninety, and was
buried in the church there on the 13th of the same
month. In the said see of Oxon succeeded John
Hough, D. D. president of Magd. coll. This
bishop Hall hath published two sermons, viz. one
preached at Mercer's chapel 13 Jan. 1677,* on

' was surrendred to the parliament forces, he cringed
' to them, submitted to the visitors in 1648, and so
' consequently took the covenant, kept his feJIow-

' I conceive, the examination of the triers, and in

' II. he procured himself to be constituted one of
' the number of commissioners to restore such mem-

" to procure a free parliament, to rescue the people
" of England from the danger of popery, and to
" assist him in obtaining such a parliament with all
" speed. (2) That in the said parliament, which
" began to sit the 22d of January following, he was
" very ready to vote, if not actually voted, thafking
" James II. abdicated the throne ;9 and (3) That
" he became the chief person that set the crown on
" the head of the prince of Orange, when he was
" crowned king of England ; Canterbury having a
" little before excused himself, by some indisposition,
" from doing that office : and (4) That he took the
" oaths of allegiance and supremacy to the said new
" king and his queen, and thereby forfeited the
" same oaths which he had taken to king James II.

de Boys of Dauphinoy in France, was born in
Hackney before-mentitjn'd, anciently called Hage-

at Westminster, elected student of Christ Churcli
in 1G27 or thereabouts, took the degrees in arts,
holy orders, and by the endeavours of sir Henry
Wood, his elddr brother, was made chaplain in
ordinary to king Charles I. being then but 28
years of age. In 1641 he took the degrees in
divinity, by virtue of a dispensation for allowance
of terms, and about that time was rector of
Whickham in the bishoprick of Durham. In the
time of the grand rebellion against king Charles
I. he left the nation and his preferments, and tra-
•^elled to Home, and to other places in Italy,
where he spent some years, and after his return
lived a retired life in the country. In the jubilee
year of 1660 he was restored to his rectory,* and,
m reward of his sufferings, liad a prebendship in
the church of Durham conferred on him (installed
therein 10 Dec. the same year) and upon the

Act Sunday in tlie morning. In tlie latter end
of the year 1680 he was nominated by liis majesty
bishop of Gloucester, in the place of John Prichett
deceased : tt) which he was consecrated in the
cliapel of All-s. coll. in Oxon, on the 27th of
March, being Palm-Sunday, an. 1681, at which
time the king and parliament were at Oxon, and
the archbishop of Canterbury a lodger in the said
coll. But the bishoprick bemg not esteemed suf-
ficient to keep up the state of a baron, he had
liberty then allowed to him to keep his parsonage
in Dorsetshire, in commendam with it : and ac-
cordingly he did so till about Christmas in 1683,
or 84, when then he was inducted into the rec-
tory of Avening near Hampton in Gloucester-
shire, by the gift of Philip Shepheard of the said
town of Hampton esq;. After which. Hen. Bowles
of New coll. succeeded him in his living in Dor-
setshire. In 1690, much about Candlemas, he
was deprived of his bishoprick for not taking the
oaths of allegiance and supremacy to king William
III. and queen Mary ; whereupon it was bestowed
on Dr. Edward Fowler of Oxon, and thereupon
Dr. Franipton retired and lived privately.

" WILLIAM MORETON, eldest son of Dr.

" Ch. in the year 1660, took the degrees in arts,

" holy orders, and in some years after was made

" chaplain to Aubrey earl of Oxford ; with whom

" continuing for some time, he was taken into the

" service (in the same quality) of the most noble

" James duke of Ormond while he was lord lieute-

" nant of Ireland, with whom continuing for some

" time, he was by that most worthy person made

" dean of Christ Church in Dublin, in the room of

" Dr. John Parry bp. of Ossory deceased, who kept

" that deanery in commendam with his bishoprick :

" and being mstalled on the 24th of Dec. 1677,

" having l)een some days before declared doctor of

" divinity by the ven. convocation of the univ. of

" Oxon, continued there with good approbation for

" some years. On the 14th of Jan. 1681, accord-

" ing to the English account, he was made bishop

" of KUdare, and on the 19th of Febr. follov/ing

" was consecrated thereunto at Ch. Ch. in Dublin

" before-mentioned, with Dr. W^ill. Sherindon to

" Kilmore, and Dr. Rich. Tenisoii to Killaloe, was

" made a member of the privy-council in Ireland

" by the same letters pat. that made him liishop,

" and at the same time was allowed to hold the

" said deanery of Ch. Ch. in commendam with his

" bishoprick. The next summer following he came

" into England, and took to him a wife, being not

" then 40 years of age ; and when Richard earl of

" Tyrconnel, lord lieutenant of Ireland, stootl up

" with his forces in defence of king James II. to
" keep |X)Ssossion of that kingdom against the forces
" of king William III. he, as many otliers of the
" bishops and clergy thereof, fied into I'.ngland, and
" there continued till that nation was setled.

« NARCISSUS MARSH, sometime fellow of
" Exeter coll. afterwards principal of St. Alban''s
" hall, and provost of Trin. coll. near Dublin, wa.s
" consecrated bishop of Ferns and Laighlin in Ire-
" land, and in the month of May 1683 translated
" thence to the archiepiscopal see of Cashiell in Dec.
" 1690. See more of him among the writers of
" Exeter college.

" CAPEL WaSEMAN a baronet's son of Es-
sex (of Canfield hall I think) was admitted a
student of St. John's coll. in Cambridge, on the
10th of Nov. 1654, and soon after being trans-
lated to Oxford, took the degrees in arts as a
member of Queen's coll. that of master being com-
pleated in 1659. After the restoration of king
Charles II. he was elected fellow of All-s. coll.
about 1661, took on him the sacred function, and
some years after being made chaplain to Arthur
earl of Essex lord lieutenant of Ireland, was by
him promoted to the deanery of Raphoe in that
kingdom. In the month of June an. 1683 he was
made bishop of Dromore on the death of Dr.
Essex Digby.

" FRANCIS TURNER, sometime fellow of
" New coll. afterwards master of that of St. John's
" in Cambridge, and dean of Windsor, was conse-
" crated bishop of Rochester, on the translation
" thence of Dr. Dolben to York in Nov. 1683, and

" THOMAS SMITH, the present bishop of Car-
" lisle, was bom at Whitewall, in the parish of Asby
" and county of Westmoreland, the 21st of Decem-
" ber, an. 1614. He was first educated in the
" neighbouring free-school of Appleby : and, in the
" 16th year of his age, was admitted into Qu. coll.
" in Oxford. His early proficiency in his studies
" quickly gain'd him a singular repute in the uni-
" versity ; one instance whereof was remarkable in
" the performance of his Lent exercise : for at that
" time (and for several years after) the fond humoiu-
" of one college's engaging another in brawling dis-
" putations, which they call'd coursing,beingfashion-

" assault from the gentk-inen wlio Icwk'd upon tlieiii-
" selves as provok\l, and obli<f''(l in honour to enter
" the lists ; yet he so prudently nianag'd the matter,
" that the engagement ended much more amicably
" than was exjiected, and (indeed) than had been
" usual upon such occasions. After he had taken
" the degree of master of arts, and was (Iwforc sc-
[1182] " veral of his seniors) preferrVl to a I'ellowship, he
" became an eminent tut<ir ; most of the gentlemen
" of the college being committed to his care. He
" was doubly qualify''d, beyond any of Ins contem-
" poraries, for such a charge ; as having liad the
" opportunity of travelling for some time in France ;
" and also being particularly skilfd in a methodical
" and easy way of grounding young men in the
" principles of philosophy, insomuch that some sys-
" tems of his composure are still used by the best
" tutors in that college. The loose way, at that
" time, of slubbering over the public exercises for
" degrees offending nim, as it aid every body else
" that understood and valu'd the honour of the
" university ; he chiefly complain''d of the empty
" formality of examinations, and so far prevailed for
" a redress, that himself was the first man who exa-
" min'd publicly in the physic-school, after the me-
" thod stdl observed. When king Charles I. resided
" at Oxford, he was one of those who were appointed
" to preach before liis majesty at Christ Church,
" and the parliament at St. Mary's. When after-
" wards faction, and the fanatical and furious zeal
" of a new set of visitors, had rendered Oxford as
" uneasy to persons of loyalty and generosity, as
" before it had been acceptable, he withdrew into
" the north, where he married Catharine widow of
" sir Henry Fletcher of Hulton in Cumberland,
" and lived there (in a quiet privacy) till, upon the
" happy restoration of king Chsirles II. his majesty's
" pleasure was intimated to the university, that there
" should be a creation of all faculties, of such as had
" suffer'd for his majesty's cause. Whereupon (on
" the 2d of August 1660,) he was, with many more
" of his fellow-sufferers, created batchelor of di-
" vinity, and on the 11th of Dec. following diplo-
" mated doctor in the same faculty. The kmg was
" also pleas'd to make him a sharer with others of
" his royal bounty in the disposal of vacant benefices
" and dignities in the church ; and to honour him
" with being one of his majesty's chaplains in ordi-
" nary. A prebend in the church of Carlisle was
" what he liad first given him, into which he was
" instaird the 14th of Nov. an. 1660. At the same
" time he had the ofier of a good living in the king's
" disposal, the distance whereof not suiting with his
" other circumstances, he declin'd it himself, but
" procur'd it for his friend. NVithin a few months
" after this he was collated by bishop Cosins to a
" good prebend in the church of Durham ; where,
" looking upon himself as invested with a prefer-
" ment as agreeable as his modesty would give him

leave to wish for, he Ijegan immediately to repair
his prebend house, sparing no costs to make it a
dwelling suitable to the lionour and endowments
of that cathedral. Nor were his benefactions con-
fin'd to (wiiat justly claim'd his first care) tlie spat
of his preferment ; he gratefully rememlK'r'd the
first fountlations of his growing honours were laid
at the school of Appleby, and therefore very
bountifully expended several large sums in raising
the schoolmaster's salary (considerably l)eyonu
that of any other in the diocese of Carlisle) anil
in building a fair dwelling-house adjoyning to the
school. Upon the promotion of J)r. Carlton to
the bishoprick of Bristol, he had the deanery of
Carlisle confer'd upon him, into which he was in-
stall'd (by the vice-dean and a full chapter) on
the 14th of March, an. 1671. And now he had
opportunities enough to shew liis public spirit.
He was indeed, from that day, a continual bene-
factor to that cathedral ; insomuch that it were
an endless task to recount the several instances of
his kindness. The dean's lotlgings were left by his
predecessor in the same ruinous condition the re-
bellious times had brought them into, but were
now (mostly from the ground) rebuilt at his own
great expence. The altar had his offering of a
large set of double-gilt communion-plate, and his
praises were return'd to Gofl on a handsome new
organ, given by him to the quire. After which
(having no further room for any more benefits)
he left the revenues of that church in the best
condition they had been in since the restoration.
For, upon the death of bishop Rainbow, he was
(to his own great surprize, and no less satisfaction
of the whole diocese) recommended by king Charles
to the chapter, for their bishop, and by them
unanimously elected on the 3d day of May, an.
1684. On the 29th of June following (being St.
Peter's day) he was consecrated in St. Peter's
church at York by bishop Dolben, assisted by
the bishops of Durham ancl Man ; and, about the
middle of July, did his homage at Windsor, and
had restitution of the temporalities of his see.
Since his settlement in the episcopal see, he has,
besides many acts of great charity to poor clergy-
men and others, laid out several liundred pounds
in repairing Rose castle, and now he is building
a public library at the cathedral church of Car-
lisle, for the use of the clergy of the diocese, and
designs to bestow his own books upon it which
arc of great value. He has writ something in
philosophy, printed by Litchfield, (Qua?rc) whose
corrector he was when A. B. and has several ser-
mons and discourses ready for the press.

hall in Lent term 166t, aged 17 years, took the

degrees in arts, became a noted tutor in his house,

and a preacher at Stadham near Oxon for some

time : the lord of which place, sir Joh. Doyly,

" lains, and afterwards conferr'd on him the deanery
•* of Kaplioc, in the room, as I conceive, of Cap.
" Wiseman. Afterwards he took tlie deerees of
" divinity in this university, an. 1685, and about
" the 8th of Dec. 1690 being nominated by his maj.
" king Will. III. to the see of Limerick, in the
" room of Dr. Sim. Digby, was soon after conse-
** crated thereunto. At the same time when he was
" nominated bishop, these persons also were nomi-
" nated to otlier sees in Ireland, viz. Dr. Narc.
" Marsh bishop of Femes to the archiepiscopal see
" of Casheill, Dr. Richard Tenison bishop of Kil-
" lalcE to Clogher, Dr. Sim. Digby of Limerick to
" the see of Elphine, Dr. Will. Kmg to the see of
** London-Derry on the death of Dr. Ez. Hopkins,

" Dr Vigures dean of Armagh to the see of

" Femes, Dr Fitzgerald dean of Cloin to the

" see of Clonfert, and Dr Lloyd dean of

" Achonry to the see of Killaloe.'"

[Wilson was promoted to the deanery of Raphoe
by letters patent dated Septemb. 15, 1683 ; and to
the sees ot" Limerick, Ardfert, and Aghadoe, Ja-
nuary 20, 1691 : he was consecrated May 8, 1692,
and mthroned July 27 following. He died on the
thirtl of November 1695. His death was occasioned
by a fall from his horse ; for in a letter to his bro-
ther Samuel Wilson dated the 29th of October be-
fore his death, which is proved in the prerogative
office, as a part of his will, he mentioneth the fall ;
and that it had occasioned a driness in his head,
which might produce disorders and carry him off.
His will is dated on the 8th of April 1692, before
his consecration ; and tlierein he stiles himself elect
bishop.']

« JOHN HALL, son of Job. Hall vicar of
Bromesgrave with the chappel of Norton alias
Kings-Norton annexed, in the county of Worces-
ter, was bom in Worcestershire, educated in
grammaticals, as I conceive, under his uncle Tho.
Hall curate of King's-Norton, became scholar of
Pembr. coll. under the tuition of his uncle Edni.
Hall in 1647, submitted to the authority of the
visitors soon after, educated there among presby-
terians and independents, and acted as they did,
took the degrees in arts, that of master being com-
pleatetl in l653, and afterwards became a preacher
in those parts, but whether he was ordained by a
bishop tdl the king's restoration I cannot tell.
After his majesty's restoration he submitted to
him, took the oaths of allegiance and supremacy
which he had not done before, and upon the re-
moval of Henr. Wightwick master of Pembr. coll.
he succeeded him in that office in the latter end
of Dec. 1664. Afterwards he took the degrees
in divinity, that of doctor being compleated in
1669, at which time, as before, lie was rector of
S. Aldate's church joyning to his coll. and much
frequented for his edifying way of preaching by
the precise people, and scholars of Oxon. On
the 24th of May 1676 he was elected Margaret
professor of this university, upon the promotion
and consecration of Dr. Barlow to the see of Lin-
coln, and about the 12th of June, an. 1691, being
nominated to succeed Dr. Ironside in the see of
Bristol, was consecrated thereunto in the church
of S. Mary-le-Bow in London, on the 30th of
Aug. the same year, with liberty then allow'd him
to keep his mastership of Pembr. coll. and his
rectory of S. Aldate's m commendam with it,"

HE chancellor of the uni-
versity tliis year, was Dr.
Will. Laud archb. of Can-
terbury; but he beiny ac-
cused of (livers capital
crimes in both houses of
parliament, and thereupon
committed first to private
custody, and afterwards to
the Tower of London, he
made a resignation on the
22d of June of all authority
and academical administra-
tion belonging to him in
the university. U'hich re-
signation under his hand and seal, he sent with his letter
of the 25th of the said month to OxfT)rd, giving therein very
great tokens, in a lamenting manner, of his love and affec-
tion to the university, Hoth which being received, they
were, after a new chancellor had been elected, answer'd with
great affection and piety. On the first of July following, the
said resignation being publi.shed in convocation, Philip
Herbert earl of Pembroke and Montgomery, &c. high
steward of the university, was then elected chancellor, and
on the eighth of tlie said month was installed in his house
called Baynards-castle in London.

J'icecha/icellur.

The vicechancellor of the university this year was John
Prideaux D. D. rector of Exeter coll. design'd by the new
chancellor Oct. 7, and soon after became bishop of VVor-
ce.-ter. But now hierarcliy daily declining and bishops not

only ejected from the number of peers in parliament, but
also divers ecclesiastical persons deprived of acting in secular
affairs iis aliene from their profession ; thi.s our worthy vice-
chancellor both a spiritual and a temporal judge next to the
chanc. in academical causes, being thereupon thought not fit
(at least with safely) to execute his office; the chanc. by his
letters dated the 2d of Mar. this year, appointed a laical per-
son named Giles Sweit, LL. D. his commissary or deputy
to supply his turn in the courts of civil affairs of the uni-
versity. Which office, tho' it was for some time performed
by him, (such were the times that refjuired it) yet the like
example we never before, or since, had.

who was the son of an eminent divine named Will. Crashaw,
was educated in grammar learning in Sutton's- hospital called
the Charter-house near to London, and in academical, partly
in Pemb. hall of which he was scholar, and afterwards in
Peter house of which he was fellow ; where, as in the former
house, his admirable faculty in Latin and English poetry
was well known. Afterwards he was master of arts, in
wliich degree, 'tis probable, he was incorporated : But being
soon after thrown out of his fellowship, as many others of
the said university of Cambridge were, for denying the cove-
nant in the time of the rebellion, he was for a time put to
his shifts. At length upon an infallible foresight that the
church of England would be quite ruined by the unlimited
fury of the presbyterians, he changed his religion and went
beyond the seas, and took up his abode for a time in the
great city of Paris : But being a meer scholar and very shift-
less, Mr. Abr. Cowley the poet, did, upon intimation of his
being there, find him out in a sorry condition, an. l646, or
thereabouts. Whereupon exhibiting to him, as much as lay
in his power, for the present, did afterwards obtain for him
letters of comniendation from Henrietta Maria queen of
England, then in those parts, and some relief. Afterwards
he journied into Italy, and by virtue of those letters he be-
came ^ secretary to a cardinal in Rome, and at length one of
the canons or chaplains of the rich church of our lady at
Loretto some miles distant from thence, where he died and
was buried about 1(J50. Before he left England he wrote
certain poems, which were entit..S<e/?« to the Temple, because
in the temple of God, under his wing, he led his life, in St.
Mary's church near to Peter house before-mentionM. There,
as 'tis ' said, he lodged under Tertullian's roof of angels.
There he made his nest more gladly than David's swallow
near the house of God, where like a primitive saint he olTer'd
more prayers in the night, than others usually offer in the
day. There he pen'd the said poems called Steps to the
Temple for happy souls to climb heaven by. To the said
Uteps are joined other poems entit. The Delights of the
Muses, wherein are several Latin poems ; which tho' of a
more humane mixture, yet they are sweet, as they are in-
nocent. He hath also written Carmen Deo nostra, being
hymns and other sacred poems, addressed to the countess of
Denbigh. He was excellent in five languages, besides the
mother tongue, viz. in Hebrew, Greek, Latin, Italian, and
Spanish ; the two last whereof tho' he had little use, yet he
had the knowledge of them, &c.

Creations.

Nov. 18. James Casaubon of Exeter coll. was actually
created master of arts, which is all Tknow of him, only that
he studied for some time in that house for the sake of the
rector Dr. Prideaux, meerly to advance himself in the know-
ledge of divinity.

This year was a student and sojourner in the university for
the sake of the Bodleian library one Fabian Philipps of the
Middle-Temple barrister, who some years before, in times of
vacation, had also studied there, under the title of ' juris
studiosus.' — This person who was eminent in his time, con-
sidering that his ])arts were never advanc'd, when young, by
academical education, was born at Prestbury in Glocester-
shlre on the eve of St. Michael, an. l601. His father was
Andrew Philipps of an ancient family in Herefordshire, born

to a good estate in Lempster and near it, and his mother was
a Bagehott of a good family also and heir to one of her bro-
thers. When he was very young he spent some time in one
of the inns of Chancery, and thence translated himself to the
Middle-Temple, where, by his assiduity and continual lucu-
bration, accoijipanied with a happy memory, he became a
proficient in some sorts of learning, and at length a great
lover and adorer, and well vers'd in some parts, of, and in,
ven. antiquity. He was always a zealous assertor of the
king's prerogative, and so passionate a lover of king Charles
I. that two days before he was beheaded he wrote a Pro-
testation against his intended Murder, which he printed and
caused to be put on ])osts and in all common places. He
was afterwards, if not before, Philazer for London, Middle-
sex, Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire, and did spend
much money in searching and writing for the ass(*rting of
the king's prerogative, yet got nothing by it, only the em-
ployment of one of the commissioners appointed for the re-
gulation of the law, worth 200/. per an. which lasted only
for two years. Among many things that this worthy person
hath written are these. (1) " A'. Ch. \. no Man of Blood

The year of vicechancellorship of Dr. Prideaux bishop

laying down the ensigns of his office as the manner is, but
rather leaving the university abruptly, as the advantage
of time offer'd ; the office for some time lay void, and no-
thing of it was done but by deputies. The which for what
reason it so hapned, is perhaps at this time too great a
trouble for me to tell. For now the university, the mother of
togated peace, being affrighted with the unwonted rumours
of a civil war, the muses deserted, and the adorers of them
every where dispersed, knew not (as if put between the anvil
and the hammer) which way to turn it self, or seek rest.
The administration therefore of iti government, was succes-
sively according to the manner of our predecessors, com-
mitted to deputies, of whom the first was Dr. Rob. Pink

at his return into England, of Cambridge, was then incor-

jjorated doctor of the said faculty in this university. This

person, who was son of 'I'ho. Harvey gent, by Joan Halke
his wife, was born at Folkston in Kent on the second day of
Apr. 1578, sent to a grammar school in Canterbury at 10
years of age, and at 14 to (ioiivil and Caius coll. in Cambr.*
At 19 years of age he travelled into Fniiice and Italy, and at
23 he had for his instructors in medicine at Padua Kustac.
Radius, Joh. Tho. Miniulous and H. Faher ab A(|ua|]end.
At 24 he became doct. of jthys. and chirurgery, uikI return-
ing into England soon after, he practised phys. in London
and married. At 2.5, or thereabouts, he was made fellow of
the coll. of phys. at London, and at 37, professor of anatomy
and chirurgery : about which time (which wiis In the year of
our Lord I6l5) he discover'd the wonderful secret of the
blood's circular motion, by which the anatomical part of
physic seemed then to be rising towards the zenith of per-
fection. At 54 years of age he was made physician to king
Charles I. (having, as 'tis said by some, been physician to
king James I.') and adhering to him in the beginning of the
troubles, he attended him at Edghill battel. Tlience going
with him to Oxon, was there incorporated, as before 'tis told
you. In 1645 he was elected warden of Merton coll. by
virtue of the king's letters sent to the society of that house
for that purpose, but in the year following, when Oxford
garrison was surrendred for the use of the parliament, he
left that office and retired to London. In 1654 he was
chosen president of the coll. of physicians, but refused to
accept of that honourable place : and after he had lived to
see his doctrin (the circulation of the blood) with much ado
established, (being the only man as one" saith that did so)
he surrendred up his soul to him tliat gave it, on the 30th of
June an. 1657. Soon after his body being lap'd up in lead,
it was conveyed to Hempsted in Essex, and deposited in a
vault under part of the church there. Several monuments of
his learning, which have been, and are, received into the
hands of all curious men, as well abroad as at home, are
extant, as the Oxford or Bodleian Catalogue will partly tell
you ; (besides his New Principles of Philosophy, containing
Philosophy in general. Metaphysics, &c.' ) but more in MS.
he hath left behind him ; the titles of which you may see in

Creations.

After the battel at Edghill in Warwickshire between his
majesty's forces and those belonging to the parliament, the
king retired to Oxon, and setling for a time in Ch. Ch. it was
his pleasure that there should be a creation in all faculties of
such that had either done him service in the said battel, or
had retired to him at Oxon for shelter to avoid the barbarities
of the presbyterians then very frequent throughout the nation.
Some called this creation The Caroline Creation.

Batckelors of Arts.

From the first of Nov. to the 1 6th of Jan. were about 35
young students actually created batchelors of arts, in the
head of whom was

Tho. Wood or a Wood of Ch. Ch. Nov. 1. This per-
son, when he heard thiit the forces belonging to the king
and parliament were tlrawing up to fight each other at Edg-
hill, threw o£F his gown, ran thither, did his majesty good
service, returned on horseback well accoutred, and afterwards
was made an officer. See more among the creations I647.

bishop of Oxon. He was afterwards doct. of phys.

Will. Norhys of Pemb. coU. was created about that time.
He was afterwards a cornet in the lord Hopton's army,
&c

Batchelors of Law,

From the 1st of Nov. to the l6th of Jan. were actually
created 15 batchelors, at least, of the civil law, of whom
John Sutton, George Walker, Will. Birkenhead and
Rich. Blome son of Job. Blome of Brecknockshire gent,
were of the number. W^hich last ] here set down, not that
he was a man of note, but only to distinguish him from one
of both his names, who was originally a ruler of paper,
and now a scribbler of books. See in the second vol. col.

1 find also to be created batch, of the civil law, an inha-
bitant of St. Aldate's parish in Oxon called John Holloway
official to the archdeacon and registrary, of Berkshire : which
John was father to Rich. Holloway sometimes fellow of New
coll. and afterwards a counsellor of the Inner Temple, and a
person for several years well reputed in these parts for his
upright dealing in his profession. To which I must add,
that in 1677 he was by writ called to be Serjeant at law, and
in 1683 he was knighted and made one of the justices of the
King's Bench in the place of just. Thom. Raymond. In the
beginning of July I688 he and sir Joh. Powell another just,
of the same bench, did receive their quietus from king Jam.

II. because they had a little before given in their minds and
opinions to the jury in the court of the King's Bench at
Westm. at which time they were two of the four judges in
the proceedings and tryal in the case of William archb. of
Cant, and six bishops, that ' the petition of the said archl>.
and bishops to his maj. wherein they shewed the great avers-
ness they found in themselves to the distributing and pub-
lishing in all their churches his majesty's then late declara-
tion for liberty of conscience,' &c. was not libellous or
seditious, as sir Rob. Wright lord chief justice, and just.
Rich. AUebone the other two judges did. Which act of
justice Holloway being much apj)lauded by the true sons of
the church of England, yet for other matters he was one of
those many persons that were excepted out of the act of in-
demnity or pardon of their majesties king William 3. and
qu. Mary, dated 23 May ibgo.

Masters of Arts.

From the first day of Nov. to the 21st of Feb. were more
than an hundred and forty masters actually created, of which
number were these following,

Nov. 1. James Duke of York. He was afterwards

king of England by the name of king James the 2d.

Dom. Henr. Howard.

Tho. Bosvile or Boswell a Kentish man (of Aynsford,

I think) and a colonel in the king's army. One Tho.

Boswell who had been knighted by his maj. at Durham in
the beginning of May 1642. was buried at St. Mary's church
in Oxford 25 Oct. 1643. ^Vhether he was the same who
was created master of arts, or the same sir Tho. Boswell who
had a daughter named Isabel tlie wife of Tho. Gilford doct.
of phys. before-raention'd, I cannot justly tell.

George Manwaring an officer in the king's army.

Will. Dugdale •* one of the officers of arms called Rouge-

croix, now (l642) lodging in Hart hall. This noted

person, who was son of John Dugdale, son of James Dugdale
of Cletherow in Lancashire gent, was born at Shustock in
the county of Warwick, on the I2th of Sept. I(j05 (3 Jac. I.)
at which time was a swarm of bees in his father's garden,
then esteemed by some a happy presage on the behalf of the
[8] babe. This accident being many years after related by Mr.
Will. Dugdale to the famous tigure-flinger Will. Lilly, he
thereupon very readily told him that that swarm of bees did
foretell that the infant should in time prove a prodigy of in-
dustry, &c. But the reader is to know, that the said Lilly
told him the said Will. Dugdale so, after mo.st of his industry
was made public. His first education in grammar-learning
was under one Thom. Sibley curate of Nether Whitacre near
to Shustock before-mention'd, witji whom continuing till he
came to ten years of age or more, was afterwards sent to the
free-school at Coventry then presided by one .lames Craw-
ford, father of James Cranford, mention'd among the writers,
under the year 1657. After he had continued in the said
school till he was almost 15 years of age, he was taken home
by his father, from whom he received instructions in reading
that noted law-book called Littleton's Tenures, and some
others of that profession, besides history: In all which he
soon after, by his indefatigable industry, became well vers'd.
In the latter end of 1622 (his fatlier being then grown in-
firm) he took him a wife, and in 1625 (1 Car. I.) his said
father being then dead, he purchased the manor of Blythe in
the parish of Shustock : at which place selling soon after, he

composed most of his books, particularly that of The Anti-
quities of Warwickshire illustrated. His natural inclination
tending then chiefly to the study of antiquities and history,
he was not a little encouraged thereto by one Sam. Roper a
barrister of Lincoln's inn, much esteeine<l for his knowledge
and abilities in those studies : with whom (by resison he was
cousin-german to Rich. Seawell who had married his sister)
he had first acquaintance about the year 16I8, and with
whom he afterwards many times conversed. After Mr.
Dugdale was setled at Blythe commonly calleil Blythe hall,
because situated on the river Blythe, he read The Description
of Leicestershire, written and jmblished by Will. Burton of
Lindley in that county esquire, (about 8 miles distant from
Blythe hall) with which being much taken, and thereby en-
couraged to do something of "that nature for Warwickshire,
he was introduced into his acquaintance by one Mr. Fisher
Dilke of Shustock, a near kinsman of the said Mr. Burton,
to the end that he might receive instructions for the manage-
ment and promotion of his studies. Mr. Burton being \'«ry
much taken with the forwardness of the young man in his
most early attempts, he was resolved to encourage him in
his labours to the utmost of his power. Whereupon he
brought him into the acquaintance of sir Sim. Archer of
Umbersla<le in the parish of Tamworth in the said county of
Warwick knight ; who being much affected with the studies
of heraldry and antiquities, and having made very choice
and considerable collections out of divers antient writings
relating to the said county, and tlie families thereof, he did
not only communicate to him what he had got together, but
brought him acquainted with most of the gentlemen of note
in the county. These gentlemen having perused the labours
of Mr. Burton before-mention'd, were thereupon desirous
tliro' sir Sim. Archer's incilation, to preserve the honour of
their families by such a work, as the said Mr. Burton had
done for Leicestershire ; and for that purjiose they would {as
afterwards they did) communicate to him the sight of their
antient deeds and evidences. Among the said gentlemen, he
found none more knowing in, and forward to encourage
such a work, than sir Sim. Clarke of Brome-court in the
parish of Salford, who with all freedom imparted to him not
only divers antient writings of consequence, but also the
leiger-book of the priory of Keiiilworth, from which he
found copious matter, as by his frequent quotation of it in
The Antiquities of Warviicksh. it appears. 'I'he acquaintance
of the said three persons. Burton, Clarke, and Archer, he
endeavoured to continue with all observance imaginable,
especially with the last, which began about 1630; but so it
fell out that our author Dugdale could not be more forward
to continue, than sir S. Archer was to promote, it, and withall.
to encourage him in his great designs; which did evidently
afterwards appear, as the sequel will tell you. In Easter
term 1638 sir Simon with his lady intended to go to London,
and thereupon importun'd Mr. Dugdale to accompany them
in that journey, assuring him that it would be worth his la-
bour if he could spare so much time from his beloved study.
This being easily assented to, they had several discourses in
their way for the promotion of his designs; and when they
were at their journeys end, the first matter that sir Simon
did, he brought our author Dugdale into the acquaintance of
the learned sir Hen. Spelman, a person famous for his know-
ledge in antiquities, but then near 80 years of age. This
worthy knight received him with great himianity, and after
some discourse and sight of several of his collections relating
to The Antiquities of IVarviickshire, he found that he was a
great proficient, and had made a considerable progress In
those studies ; and then told him, that seeing he was a per-

son W) much inclined to that learning, he thought him very
fit to serve the king in the office of arms, and that the naost
noble Thomas earl of Arundel, then earl marshal of England,
having, by virtue of that great office, the nomination of all
such as were admitted into that society, would esteem it a
good service to the public, to prefer such theVeunto, as were
thus naturally qualified and found sedulous in those studies j
offering to recommend Mr. Dugdale to his lordship for that
puriMJse. Soon after sir Henry having acquainted his lord-
ship of him and his fitness for the office, he was introduced
into the presence of that honourable person by sir George
Greslely of Drakelow in Derljyshire baronet, wlio was then
io London, and well known to his lordship. During Mr.
[9] Dugdale's stay in London, he repaired sometimes to the
lodging of sir Hen. Spelman, who among several discourses
concerning their faculty, told him that one Roger Dodsworth
a gent, of Yorkshire had taken indefatigable pains in search-
ing of records and other antient memorials relating to the
antiquities of that county, but especially touching the founda-
tions of monasteries there, and in the northern jMirts of the
realm : which work he did not a little commend to the pains
and ciU-e of some industrious and diligent searchers into
hidden antiquity; affirming, that out of his great affection
thereto, in his younger years, he had got together transcripts
of the foundation charters of divers mon<isteries in Norfolk
and Suffolk, (himself being a Norfolk man) much impor-
tuning Mr. Dugdale to joyn with Dodsworth in that most
commendable work, which, by reason of his youth and for-
wardness to prosecute those studies, might in time be brought
to some perfection, as Mr. Dugdale hath informed me by
his letters, adding withall, that he the said Mr. Dugd. did
readily incline, and within few days following oasually meet-
ing with Mr. Dodsworth in the lodgings of Mr, Sam. Ilopcr
at Line, inn, and acquainting each other what they were in
hand with, as to their farther progress in those studies, they
readily engaged themselves to prosecute what transcripts
they could from any leiger books, public records, original
charters, or other manuscripts of note in order thereto ; but
.still with this reservation, that Mr. Dugdale should not ne-
glect his coUectiims touching The Anliij. of IfVarwickshire. ;
wherein he had by that time made a consideralde progress.
During his stay in London, he becimie acquainted with one
Rich. Giiscoigue a Yorkshire gentleman, who also stood
much affected to tliose studies, especially as to matter of pe-
liigree, wherein he had taken some pains for divers northern
families, especiiUly for that noble ami antient family of
Wentworth : and having great interest with sir Christoph.
Hatton of Kirby in the county of Northampton knight of
the Bath, (afterwards created lord Hatton) a person highly
affected to antiquities, and who had not s|)ared for any
charge in obtaining sundr)' choice collections from public re-
cords, leiger books, and antient charters and divers old MS.S,
he brought him to that most worthy person, (then lodging
in an apothecary's house without Temple-bar) by whom he
was welcomed with all expressions of kindness, and readiness
in furthering his studies. In order thereunto he soon after
brought him ac<|uainted with his near kinsman sir 'Jho.
^anshaw at that time the king's remembrancer in the ex-
chequer : by reason of whicli };reat office he had the custody
of divers leiger-books and other choice manuscripts, espe-
cially that notable record called the Red-Buok, as also Testa
de Nevill, Keihy's Quest, \omiiia Villarmn and others ; to
all which, by his favour, he had free access. Nor was he
less carefuU to obtain the like access for him to the records
io the Tower of London, by his interest with old Mr. Collet,
the chief clerk at that time there under sir John Rurroughs ;

whom he amply rewarded with sundry kinds of gratuities
for his friendliness in assisting Mr. Dugdale with what he
thought proper for his purpose, from those rarities there
reposed. He also about that time was introduced by the
said Mr. Roper into the acquaintance of sir Tho, Cotton
baronet, whereby he had free access to that incomparable
library in his house near Westminster hall, began and .set up
by his father that noted antiquary sir Rob. Cotton baronet,
where finding rare MSS, and original charters in that in-
comparable treasury, made such collections thence as were
of singular use in several volumes, which have since been
made public by the press. He was likewise introduced by
the said Mr. Roper into the acquaintance of Mr. Scipio
Squire then one of tlie vice-chamberlains of the exchequer,
thro' whose kindness and favour he had access to that ve-
nerable record called Domesday Book, as also to the Fines,
Plea-Rolls, and sundry other records remaining in the trea-
sury there. Nor was sir Christo. Hatton backward in giving
him all possible encouragement in those his studies : for
having seconded sir H. Spelman in recommending him to
the earl of Arundel, that earl sent for him in Sept. following
(an. 1038,) and obtained the king's warrant to create him a
pursevant at arms extraordinary, by the title of Blanch Lyon,
and thereupon so created him at the king's royal palace of
Richmond in Surrey ujion the 24th of that instant Sept.
Also u|>on the removal of Mr. Edw. Walker then pursevant
called Rouge-Croix to the office of Chester herald, his lord-
ship obtained his majesty's letters pat. for creating him
Rouge-Croix pursevant in ordinary, bearing date the I8th
of Mar. \Q.iQ. By which means having a lodging in the
heralds-office, and some benefit by funerals and other ways,
with the >early salary of 20/. out of the king's exchequer for
his support, he thenceforth spent the greatest part of his
time in London, in order .to the augmenting his collections
out of tlie records in the Tower and other places in and near
the said city, till by the influence of a very forward and pre-
dominant party in the most unhappy parliam. that began at
Westm. a Nov. j640, which* " being

justifiable extirpation of monarchic government, nothing less [lo"!
could be expected than the profaning of all places of God's

churches, and whatever was beautiful or ornamental therein,
the said Mr. Dugd. tlierefore receiving encouragement from
sir Chr. Hatton befure-mention'd, then a member of the
house of commons for -H igliam-Ferrers in Northamptonsh.
who timely foresaw the near approaching storm, did in the
summer time l641 (taking with him one Will. Sedgwick a

numents in each of them, copied the epitaphs according to
the very letter ; as also of all arms in the windows or cut in
stone : all which being done with great exactness^ Mr. Dug^

dale rode to Peterborough in Northamptonshire, Ely, Nor-
wich, Lincoln, Newark upon Trent, IJeverley, Southwell,
Kingston upon Hull, York, Selby, Ciiester, Litchfield, Tam-
worth, Warwick, and did the like in all those cathedral,
collegiate, conventual and divers other parochial churches,
■wherein any tombs and monuments were to be found, to the
end that the memory of tlieni (in case if that ruin then im-
minent might come to pass) might be preserved for future
and better times. As it Wiis feared, so it soon after fell out,
all things thro' the influence of the predominant party in that
" unhappy" parliament, looking every day more and more
that way, insomuch as in the middle of January following
the king himself, his queen and royal issue, forc'd by tumults
" countenanced by those mighty masters of mischief," were
constrained to betake themselves for safety to other places,
viz. the king, prince and duke of York unto the city of York,
and the queen unto her own relations in France. His ma-
jesty being therefore necessitated at that time to continue in
those northern parts, where many of the nobility attended
him, he ilid by his warrant under his royal signet manual,
bearing date I June 1642, command the said Mr. Dugdale
forthwith to repair thither to him according to the duty of
his place. Upon the reception of which he obeyed, and con-
tinued at York till about the middle of July, at which time
he received his majesty's farther command to attend Spencer
earl of Northampton then lord lieutenant of the county of
Warwick, who was then endeavouring to secure the chief
places of that county and near it, and to disperse the forces
under the lord Brook, which he had gathered together for
the parliament, by the trained-band soldiers and other loyal
persons under him. But they having secured the castles of
Banbury and Warwick, Mr. Dugdale did (by command from
his maj. who was achised at Y'ork of their proceedings) in
his coat of arms, with a trumpet sounding before him, repair
to those castles, and required them to disband and to deliver
up their arms, requiring also the said lord Brook and his ad-
herents to disband, &c. Accordingly the castle of Banbury,
with all tlie arms and ammunition therein were delivered up,
but the castle of Warwick being a place of more strength
and defended by a greater number of soldiers, under the
command of sir Edw. I'eto of Chesterton in that county
knight, they did " most rebelliously" contemn the said sum-
mons, &c. Afterwards when the king marched southward
from York, and had taken up his quarters for some time at
Stonley-house about 4 miles distant from Coventry, on the
igth of Aug. l6'42, Mr. Dugdale did, by his majesty's special
warrant dated the next day, summon the said city of Coven-
try, (a little before taken in " by certain schismatics" for the
use of the parliament) with his coat bearing the king's arms
thereon, and a trumpet sounding before him, to the end that
the defenders deliver up their arms to his majesty, and de-
part peaceably to their respective homes, &c. but they ob-
stinately denying his summons, he proclaimed them traytors,
and forthwith returned. Afterwards he attended the king at
Kineton commonly called Eflghill in Warwickshire, where
the grand battel between him and his army and that belong-
ing to the parliament was fought on the 23d of Oct. l642.
Which battel being finished and the royal party victorious,
he attended his maj. to Oxon, and thence to Reading and
Brainford, his maj. intending for London ; but finding the
power of the rebels much recruited by the inhabitants of
that populous city, he did, after some skirmishes had at
Brainford (where the royal party took many prisoners) return
to Oxford, fix his chief residence there, and fortified that city
with bulwarks for the better security thereof. So that Mr.
Dugdale being bound by his place to attend his majesty, he
Vol. IV.

setled for a time in Hart hall, and on the Ist of Nov. i642
he was actually created master of arts, as I have before told
you. About that time he committed to writing the most
memorable passages in the battel at Edghill : and that the
relation of all jiarticulars iniglit be the better understood, he
went to that place in Feb. following, being accompanied
with .some gentlemen of note. At which time taking with
him a skilful surveyor, he rode to Banbury (the castle there
being then his majesty's garrison) and thence to the field
where the battel was fought, which he exactly surveyed, and
noted where each army was drawn up, where the canons
were placed, and the graves where the slain persons were bu-
ried ; observing also from the relation of the neighbouring
inhabitants the certain number which lay buried in each pit
or grave : which by a just computation did not amount to
full one thousand, tho' the report of the vulgar made them
at least five thousand. Ueturning thence to Oxford, he con-
tinued there by his majesty's command until the surrender of
that garrison for the use of the parliament, 24 June l6)6,
which wanted not 4 months of 4 years, (his estate in the
country being all that while sequestred) in which time he rui
notwithstanding got a subsistance by attending the funerals
of several noble persons and of others of great (juality (some
of which were slain in the wars) according to the duty of his
office. On the tOth of Apr. l644 he was created Chester
herald, upon the promotion of sir Edw. Walker to be Nor-
roy, and soon after he took a journey to Worcester, within
which diocese the southern parts of Warwickshire lye :
where, having perusal of the registers both of the bishop and
dean and chapter, he thence extracted several collections, in
order to his historical work of W<irwickshire, as he before
had done at Litchfield (within which diocese the rest of the
said county lies) as by the quotations in the elaborate work
of The ^ntiq. of Warviicksh. (afterwards made public,) it ap-
pears. While he continued in Oxon, where he had leisure
enough to follow his studies, he applied, himself to the search
of such antiquities as were to be found in the famous Bod-
leian library, as also in the libraries of certain colleges, and
in private hands, as he thought any way conduceable to the
furtherance of the work design'd by Rog. Dodsworth and
himself touching the monastery-foundations before-men-
tion'd ; as also of whatsoever might relate to matter of his-
tory in reference to the nobility of this kingdom : in which
he found very much for that purpose, whereof he m.-»de great
use in his volumes entit. The Baronngc of England, since
published. After the surrender of Oxford, Mr. Dugdale re-
paired to London and made his composition in Goldsmiths-
hall for at least l68/. After which having proceeded very
far in collecting materials in the country for his designed •
work of Warwickshire, he repaired again to London for the
farther perusal of the records in the Tower and other places,
and there perfected his collection touching the antiquities of
that coimty, where hapning to meet with Mr. Dodsworth, he
told him how he had bestowed his time in Oxon and else-
where, by gaining materials in order to that work of the
monasteries, and Mr. Dodsworth did the like to him : whereby
' Mr. Dugd. did understand that he had transcribed many
foundation-charters and other grants of consequence, relating
to the monasteries of Yorkshire, and some other northern
counties, which he copied for the most part from the ori-
ginals remaining in sundry large chests deposited in St.
Mary's tower at York. This tower, with all such evidences
therein, was accidentally blown up in the war time; so that
had not Mr. Dodsworth made his collections thence before
that accident fell out, the loss would have been irreparable.
Other matters that he collected thence are now in many to-

lumes remaining in the Bodleian library by the gift of Thomas
lord Fairfax, who also, to his great honour be it sj>oken,
shew'd himself very generous to all such soldiers at Vork
that could retrieve any of the said charters that were so
blown up. After Mr. Dugdale's communication with Mr.
Do<lsworth concerning each others collections, he waited
upon the lady Eliz. Hatton to Calais in the month of May
l648, there to meet with the lord Hatton her husband from
Paris: which being so done, he went back with that lord
thither ; and making stay there about three months, he,
thro* the favour of monsieur Franc, du Chesne son to the
learned Andr. du Chesne deceased, had a view of divers ex-
cellent collections made by the said Andrew, relating to
divers monasteries in France, Normandy, and other parts of
that kingdom. Among which, discovering divers things of
note touching divers religious houses in England formerly
called priories aliens (which had been cells to sundry great
abbies in foreign parts) he took copies of them, of whicli he
made good use in those volumes calle<l Monasiicon Anglica-
vum, afterwards published : and then returned into England,
having letters of safe conduct under the sign manual and
signet of the then queen of England Henrietta Maria, bearing
date at St. Germans en Lay, upon the third of Aug. This
.so fair and industrious collection being got together by Mr.
Dodsworth, as hath been observed, as also that made by Mr.
Dugdale gathered out of divers leiger-books and other au-
thentic MiSS atOxon, did encourage them to proceed in per-
fecting tiie work. Whereupon they resolved to go to the
records in the Tower of London, to which having free ad-
mission, tliey made a perfect and thorough search, and took
copies of all that they deemed most material for their work.
Which being done, they retired to the Cottonian library,
making the like search there, and left nothing omitted from
the multitu<les of leiger-books there, that might serve them
in that most elaborate work. Their business being there
finished, Mr. Dugdale discovered many bundles of papers of
state, which were original letters and other choice memorials
obtained by sir Rob. Cotton from sundry hands, some
whereof were the transactions between cardinal Wolsey,
Tho. Cromwell (afterwards earl of Essex) secretary Will.
Paget, sir Will. Cecil lord Burleigh, secretary Francis Wal-
singham and others, relating as well to foreign, as domestic,
affairs : as also the letters and papers of Mary queen of Scots,
Thomas duke of Norfolk, &c. All which Mr. Dugdale
sorted methodically, both as to time and otherwise, and
caused them to be bound up with clasps, and sir Tho. Cot-
ton's arms impressed on each side of every book, with the
contents in the beginning, what each book contained : all
which amounted to 80 volumes, and were made useful to all
lovers of historical learning. The collections of the two vo-
lumes o£ the monastery foundations, entit. Monast. Anglic.
being thus compleated, and the publishing of them by the
press, desired, an offer was made to several booksellers of the
copies, upon such different terms as might have defrayed the
charge of those transcripts so made from records and other-
wise, as hath been observed. But the booksellers not will-
[13] ing to adventure on them, Mr. Dodsworth and Mr. Dugdale
joined together, and hired several sums of money to defray
the cost and expence of them. The care of which work, as
to the printing, lay totally on Mr. Dugdale, because Mr.
Dodsworth died in Lancashire about the midst of August,
an. l654, before the tentli part of the first vol. came off from
the press. The first vol. being finished an. 1 655, a stop was
made for some years of bringing the second to the press,
until the greatest part of the impression was sold, whereby
money might be had to go on therewith. Mr. Dugdale

therefore having with no small pains and charge finished his
collections in order to his designed historical work of IVar-
wicksh. Antiquities, and at length jwrfected the frame thereof,
was at the whole charge of printing, and paper for publish-
ing the same ; and continued in London to correct the press
himself, by reason that the ordinary correctors were not
skiU'd at all in the pedigrees. Which book was finished and
expos'd to sale, an. l6:>6. In the time of his continuance in
London, he casually met with one Mr. Reading a North-
amptonshire gent, who had been clerk of the Nisi prius for
the midland-circuit, and with whom he had been formerly
acquainted. This Mr. Reading knowing Mr. Dugdale to be
an indefatigable searcher into records, he friendly invited
him to his house at Scriveners- hall (near Silver-street) pro-
mising to shew him divers old MSS, original charters, and
other antieut writings. So that he going thither accordingly,
he brought forth five antient MSS in folio, which were char-
tularies of the lordships and lands first given to tlie cath. ch.
of S. Paul in London. All which he freely lent, to carry
with him to his house in Warwickshire till Mich, term en-
suing, and then upon the restoration of them, he should have
the use of as many more. But in the said term when he
went to London to restore them, (whence he had extracted
what he thought fit, as to any historical use) he found that
Mr. Reading vvas dead, and had constituted one Mr. \Villiams
a barrister of the Temple his executor. Whereupon Mr.
Dugdale addressing himself to that person to desire a sight
of the rest, he brought him to Scriveners-hall and there
shew'd him many other manuscript-books, original charters,
old rolls, and other very antient writings in bags and ham-
pers, relating to the said cathedral of St. Paul. All which
he freely lent to Mr. Dugdale (amounting to no less than
ten porter's burthens) to be carried to his lodgings Being
thus in his private custody, he first bestowed pains to sort
them into order, and afterwards made extracts from them of
what he found historical in reference to that cath. ch. And
to the end that the memory of those many antient monu-
ments therein, which were afterwards utterly destroyed (the
church also being made a horse-garrison by the usurpers)
might be continued to posterity, Mr. Dugdale did by the
help and favour of sundry worthy persons, who voluntarily
offered to be at the charge of the plates, in which the repre-
sentations were cut in brass, as also the prospects of that
whole fabric (inside and outside) accomplish the same.
Further also having succinctly framed an historical narration
of the first foundation and endowment of the said church,
as also of the chantries, and what else was most memorable
therein, or relating thereto, made it public by the press, an.
1658.

But as the longest day hath its evening, so did it at last
please the omnipotent to put a period to the tyrannous ac-
tions of the said usurpers by the most miraculous restoration
of king Charles 2. an. 1660, which was about 12 years after
the most execrable murder of his royal father. At which
time to prevent the importunity of others, who aimed at the
office of Norroy king of arms, void by the promotion of sir
Edw. Walker to the office of Garter (whom I shall mention
by and by) sir Edw. Hyde knt. then lord chancellor, and af-
terwards earl of Clarendon, having seen the Antiquities of
Warwicksliire and the first vol. of Monasticon, did move the
king on the behalf of Mr. Dugdale for the said place.
Whereupon it being readily granted, there was a special war-
rant made under the royal signet to prepare a patent for the
same : which patent, after his majesty's return, jjassed the
great seal accordingly on the 18th of June 1660. At the
same time the second vol. of Man, Angl. was in the press>

f

and the next year 'twas published : during the printing of
which, he laboured about his historical work of Imbankinp;
and draining; the Fens and Marshes, deduced out of public
records and antient MSS, at the instance of the lord Gorges
and others, wlio were the principal adventurers in that costly
and lau<hible undertaking for draining the great level, ex-
tending into a considerable part of the counties of Cam-
bridge, Huntingdon, Northampton, Norfolk and Suffolk.
Tliis book was adorned with several exact maps of the parts
and places so drained, and was published in 1662. Further
also having been much importun'd by Dr. Sheldon archb. of
Canterbury and the earl of Clarendon lord chancellor to per-
fect that collection began by the learned sir Hen. Spelman,
for his intended second vol. of the Provincial Councils in
England, Mr. Dugdale did in order thereunto make diligent
search for all such materials that might be got, either out of
the Cottonian library, or otherwise : which being done he
made transcripts of them, and methodized the same for the
press. So that the whole vol. amounting to 200 sheets in
folio, all of it except 57, were totally of Mr. Dugdale's col-
lection. It was printed in l664, but very full of faults, oc-
casion'd, if I am not mistaken, by the absence of the said
Mr. Dugdale. Will. Somnore the antiquary of Canterbury
took a great deal of pains to correct a printed copy of it,
with his pen in the margin : which copy is yet remaining in
[13] the library belonging to the ch. of Canterbury. At the same
time also the second part of sir Hen. Spelman's Glossary,
which begins with the letter M, was brought to Mr. Dugdale
to have it fitted for the press : for so it was, that sir Henry
having left it very imperfect, much of it being loosly written,
and in sundry bits of paper, he took pains to dispose thereof
into proper order by transcribing many of those loose papers,
and afterwards by marking sucli parts of it, for differencing
the character, as needed. The first part also that had been
published by sir Henry, an. ) 626, was aftei-wards considerably
augmented and corrected by its author: which also being
I brought to Mr. Dugdale, and by him review'd and made fit

for the press, were both printed together, an. lfi64. But
the second part which sir H. Spelman left imperfect, as is
liefore told you, comes far short of the first. After this, Mr.
Dugdale having in many years labours in the search of
records for those works already published, perused the notes
that he had taken of the lord chancellors, lord treasurers,
masters of Rolls, judges of all the courts in Westminster hall,
king's attornies and sollicitors ; as also of the Serjeants at
law, courts of justice and inns of court and chancery for
students in that excellent profession, he compiled that his-
torical work entit. Orimnes Juridicinlcs, adorned with exact
cuts in copper plates of the arms in'the windows throughout
all the inns of court and serjeants-inns, which was first
made public by the press, an. 1666; but the grand confla-
gration soon after hapning, many of the copies were burnt.
Further also, he having in the course of his collections
formerly made at Oxon in the time of the rebellion extracted
from sundry choice MSS. divers special notes relating to
antient nobility of this kingdom ; and being not ignorant
that those volumes of Monasticon would yield many excellent
materials of that kind, he then became encouraged to go to
the Tower of London, Exchequer, office of the Rolls in
Chancery lane (which were the chief treasures of records) as
also to the archbishop's principal registers, and registers of
the prerogative court of Canterbury, of wills and testaments,
dispensations for marriages, &c. Whence and out of sundry
MSS. in private hands, monumental inscriptions, and other
authorities, which, after the greater part of 30 years labour

he had got together, he at length compiler! that large work
entit. The Haronngc of Ennlaud. In making which col-
lections he omitted nothing of consequence which related to
the foundations and endowments of the cathe«lral and col-
legiat churches in England and Wales, consisting of secular
canons, as also of what else he could observe concerning
those m(masteries that were already published, to the end
that use might be made of as additaments to those volumes :
and in the year 1673 he published all those additaments,
together with what he had so gathered for those cathedral
and collegiat chui-ches before specified. But the said volumes
of the Baronage hanging long at the press, came not out
till the year 16/5 and 1676, being then and soon after taken
into the hands not only of his majesty and royal issue, but
also by the prime nobility of the nation. Towards the end
of the said year 1 676, sir Edw. Walker garter, principal king
of arms, departing this mortal life at Whitehall, (Mr. Dugd.
being then in Warwickshire) much dispute grew between
Henry then earl of Norwich (afterwards duke of Norfolk)
as earl marshal of Engliind, and the king, for the nomi-
nation of a person, utito whom his majesty should by his
letters patents make a grant of that office ; the chancellor of
the Garter on the king's behalf, as sovereign of that most
noble order, strenuously insisting upon his majesty's right to
nominate by reason that the said office of Garter was an
employment meerly belonging to that order ; and chiefly for
attending at all installations and festivals, and performing
other services unto the sovereign and knights com|)anion8
thereof. The earl on his part, as earl marshal and chief
superintendent of the office and officers of arms, pleading the
usage of his predecessors in that honourable office of earl
marshal to nominate and recommend to the king, upon the
death and vacancy of any king of arms, herald or pursevant,
such person or persons to supply the place, as he shall think
most fit and most properly qualified for that service. In
which contest one sir Will. H award knight (a person well
accomplished with learning, especially in point of honour
and arms) having obtaineil the favour of divers great men
to move his majesty on his behalf, the king did thereupon
much incline to, to have that office conferr'd upon, him.
The earl of Norwich on the other part, accounting it no
little derogation to his office of earl marshal to be refused
the like privilege as his predecessors in that great place had
been permitted to enjoy (for which he produced some late
precedents, acknowledging, tho' he had nothing to do as to
any superintendency over him as an officer of the Garter, yet,
as Garter was principal king of arms, he was subordinate to •
his authority) did obtain the favour of the duke of York,
upon this great tlisputc, to speak to his majesty on his behalf.
The king therefore asked the said count (earl marshal) whom
he had a design to nominate and recommend, he answered
Mr. Dugdale ; tho' tis well known he had another person
(Th. Leigh Chester herald) in his eye, (against whom such
objections might have been justly taken, as that he would
have failed of his aim had he stuck to him) whereupon his
maj. immediately replied, ' Nay then I am content.' So
that the matter being thus ended, the earl marshal causeil his
secretary to advise Mr. Dugdale thereof by the post that
night, and earnestly to press his speedy coming up to Lon- ■
don, he then being at BIythe-hall in Warwickshire. This
news did not a little surprise him, because he was so far
from any thought of that office, that upon some letters from ['■*]
certain honourable persons ensuing sir E. Walker's death,
earnestly desiring his speedy repair to London, in ortler to
his obtaining that office, he excused himself in respect of Iiis

age, he being then 20 years older than any other officer in
the coll. of arms then living, as he then told me, being then
with him at Blythe-liall wlien those letters came to him.
After serious consideration what to resolve on therein, having
a far greater desire to wave it, than otherwise, as he then
said, he grew fearful that his majesty so readily assenting to
the earl marshal's nomination of him, should not take it well
in case lie did refuse what was so intended him as a favour.
And doubting also the earl marshal's displeasure for not
complying with him therein, did at length conclude with
himself that it wiis by God Almighty's disposal thus cast upon
him, and therefore he resolved to accept of it. So that,
within few days after, repairing to London, he was welcom'd
by the earl marshal with many noble expressions for his
ready acceptance of his lordship's favour herein. On the
26th of Apr. 1677 was passed the patent for his oflRce of
Grarter, and on Thursday the 21th of May following (being
then Holy Thursday) he was solemnly created Garter in the
coll. of arms by Henry earl of Peterborough, who then
exercised the office of earl marshal, as deputy to the earl of
Norwich, by virtue of his majesty's immediate warrant for
that purpose : and the day following (25 May) Mr. Dugd.
being brought before the king in the old bed-chamber at
Whitehall by the earl marshal, he then received the honour
of knighthood, (much against his will because of his small
estate) at which time his majesty put the badge of his office,
hung in a gold chain (usually worn by Garter king of arms)
about his neck. On the first of June following he took his
oath of Garter principal king of arms, in a solemn chapter
held by the sovereign and certain of the knights companions
of that most noble order, in the red room at Whitehall :
Which oath was administred to him by Seth bishop of Salis-
bury chancellor of the Garter, one of the officers of that
order then kneeling on his majesty's left hand. As to the
exercise of his office of Norroy, when he was provincial king
of arms in the northern parts of this realm, the books of his
visitation of the several counties under his charge remaining
in the coll. of arms, will sufficiently manifest his care therein,
as by taking exact notice of all collaterals, viz. uncles, aunts,
brothers and sisters in the descents there drawn. Also by
publicly disclaiming all such as did take upon them the titles
of esquire or gentlemen without j ust right, and truly registring
the arms of all such as could shew any justifiable right
thereto. His care also was manifested in defacing such
tablets of arms, as he found in any public places which were
fictitious, and by pulling down several atchievments (com-
monly called hatchments) irregularly and against the law of
arms hung up in any churches or chappels within the pre-
cincts of his province ; the particulars whereof are expressed
in that large book, in the office or coll. of arms, covered
with russet leather, and called the Earl Marshal's Book.
Further also to vindicate the just rights of his said office, he
commenced a sute at the common law against one Randal
Holme a painter of the city of Chester, who had boldly
invaded the office of him the said Norroy, by preparing
atchievments for the funeral of sir Ralph Ashton of Middle-
ton in the county of Lancaster, knt. and giving directions
for a formal proceeding at the solemnity thereof: whereupon
he had a verdict against him the said Holme, at the general
assizes held at Stafford, in March an, 1667, and recovered
good damages with costs of suit. The titles of such books,
touched on before, which are published under sir Will. Dug-
dale's name are these, (l) Monasticon AnsUcanum: sive

tho' they were published under the names of Roger Dods-
worth of Yorkshire, and \Vill. Dugdale of Warwickshire,
yet the chiefest now of the coll. of arms heive several times
informed me that they were both collected and totally written
by Dodsworth, as the original which they had seen do tes-
tify : And Dr. Barlow hath several times told me that much
about the time of the death of Dodsworth they were offer'd
to him to be bought, that he might take some order to have
them published. Howsoever it is, sure I am that sir William
did take great pains to have them published, did methodize
and order them, correct them when at the press and made
several indexes to them. This Roger Dodsworth was the
son of Matthew Dodsworth esq; (registrary, as I have heard,
of the church of York) by Eleinor his wife, daughter of
Ralph Sandwith esq; was born on the 24th of July, 1585, at
Newton Grange in the parish of St. Oswald in Ridale in
Yorkshire, being the house and possessions of his mother's
father ; but whether he was ever educated in any university,
I could never learn. This person, who had a natural pro-
pensity to histories and antiquities, began early to make col-
lections of them, especially such that related to Yorkshire,
and afterwards was much encouraged in his labours by sir
Thomas, afterwards lord, Fairfax, who for several years
allowed him a pension. He was a person of wonderful [15]
industry, but less judgment, was always collecting and
transcribing, but never published any thing. He died in the
month of August 1654, and was buried in the church of Ruf-
ford in Lancashire. After his death the said lord Fairfax
took into his possession, not only all the old MSS. which he
had obtained from several hands, but also all his proper col-
lections which he had written from MSS. leiger-books,
evidences in the Tower at York, in the custody of many
gentlemen, not only in Yorkshire but other northern coun-
ties ; as also his collections of monumental and fenestral
inscriptions, &c. which being done, he communicated them to
Dr. Nat. Johnston a physician of Yorkshire, with hopes that
he would extract from them, and make and compleat a book
of antiquities of the West Riding of Yorkshire,- which he
hath not yet done, being, as I have been informed, weary of
the work. When the said lord Fairfax died, he bequeathed
the said old MSS. and collections (which last amounted to
122 volumes at least) to the public library in Oxon, but
were not conveyed thither tUl June 1673 ; which being then
a wet season, most of them took wet, and had it not been for

assisted in the said third vol. of Mon. Angl. by sir Thomas
Herbert baronet, but the number of charters which he trans-
cribed and sent to him, I cannot justly tell you. He was a
great collector of ancient MSS. a singular lover of anti-
quities, and there is no doubt, but that he having had more
leisure than I, did his share therein. Sir Will. Dugdale
hath also published, (8) The Baronage of England : or an

our English Nobility in the Saxon's Time, to the Norman
Conquest ; and from thence, of those 'who had their Rise [16]

and do always go together. Augustin Vincent, sometimes
Windsor herald and clerk of the records in the Tower of
London, had laid a foundation of a Baronage of England,
but he dying before it was finished, it was taken in hand
and continued by his son John Vincent, who intituled it—
Heruilogia Anglica. Or a Genealogical History of the Sue- ,
cession and Creation of all our Princes, Dukes, Earls and
Viscounts since the Norman Conquest to this Day. This I
have seen in a thick fol. manuscript, (for 'tis not yet pub-
lished) containing many quotations from the records in the
Tower of London, but 'tis a very slight and trite thing in
comparison of that of sir W. Dugdale's. The said three
tomes of the Baronage of England he gave, with other of his
books, to the coll. of armes, but two of the kings, and other
heralds there tell me that there are a world of faults in them;
and they dare not depend upon the generality of matter
relating to pedegree therein. The author also sent to the
writer of these Athena; and Fasti Oxon. copies of all the
tomes, with an earnest desire that he would peruse, correct
and add to them what he could obtain from record or other
authorities. Whereupon spending a whole long vacation in
that matter, he drew up at least 16 sheets of corrections, but
more additions ; which being sent to the author, he remitted
a good part of them into the margin of a copy of large paper
of his three tomes of Baronagium. (11) ^ short View of the

an. l685. Whereupon his body being conveyed to the
parochial church of Shustock in Warwickshire before-men-
tioned, was on the 12th of the same month deposited in a
btone-coffin, lying in a little vault, which he before had
caused to be made under the north side of the chancel of the
church there. It was laid near another stone-coffin in the
said vault, containing the remains of his then late wife
named Margery daughter of John Huntbache of Seawell in
Staffordshire gent, who died 18 Decemb. 168I, after she had
continued his wife from the 17th of March 1622. Sir Will.

Dugdale did also in his life time erect over the said vault a
strong tomb of free-stone, in form of an altar, joyning to the
north-wall, with his arms and those of his wife carved on the
south side thereof : Ami .ibove it he caused to be fixed on
the wall a tablet of white marble, bordered with the like
free-stone, on which was engraven his epitaph made by him-
self. By his last will and testament he bequeathed all his
manuscripts and collections of .intiquittes to the inusaium of >-'7J
Eiias Ashmole in Oxon, who divers years before had married
one of his daughters ; where they remain, and are of great
use to curious and critical persons. To conclude, had this
indefatigable person sequestred himself from worldly troubles,
and totally addicted himself to his studies, and had minded
the public, more tlian his pri%'ate concerns, the world might
have justly enjoyed more of his lucubrations, and those more
true and accurate, than such that are already published,
especially those in his latter days : \ et however what he hath
done, is prodigious, considering the great troubles that he
had endured for liis loyalty, and the cumhrances of this
world that he had run through ; and therefore his memory
ought to be venerated and had in everlasting remembrance
for those things which he hath already published, which
otherwise might have perished and been eternally buried in
oblivion. Let's now go on with the creations,

Edw. Walker ' herald of arms by the title of Chester.^ —
This person, who was second son of Edw. Walker of Roobers
in the parish of Nether Stowey in Somersetsh. by Barbara
his wife, daughter of Edw. Salkeld of Corby-castle in Cum-
berland, was born at Roobers, bred a servant in the family of
Thomas earl of Arundell earl marshal of England, to whom
afterwards being secretary, he gave the purscvant's place
called Rogue-Croix in the coll. of arms. In I639, when
that noble count was made general of the English forces in
the Scotch expedition, this Mr. Walker was by him made
secretary of war, and executed that office till the return of
the said army to London. Afterwards when his majesty
and the royal family were by the endeavours of that unhappy
pari, that began 3. Nov. 1640, forced from London in Jan.
1641, Mr. Walker followed him into the nortli parts of
England, and was with him at Eilghill fight, and afterwards
at Oxon, where he was actually created master of arts, being
then Chester herald as I have before told you. In the latter
end of 1643 he was made Norroy king of arms in the place
of sir Henry St. George promoted to the office of (iarter,
and in the year following, upon the death of the said sir
Henry, he was made Garter, and on the 2d of Feb. the
same year (l644) he received the honour of knighthood.

This person, who with great diligence and observation had
committed to writing in a paper book tlie several occurrences
that passed in the king's army, and the victories obtained by
his majesty over his rebellious subjects, the book was seized
on at the battel at Naseby by some of the forces belonging
to the parliament, then victors. Afterwards it was presented
to their general, called sir Thomas Fairfax, who perusing it,
found one passage therein which was very observable to him,
viz. that whereas he (Walker) had taken occasion' to spe.ik
of the Irish and call'd them rebells ; his majesty, who before
that time had perused the book, did, among several altera-
tions made therein with his own hand, put out the word
Rebels with his pen, and over it wrote Irish. This book was
after his majesty's restoration regain'd, and is now, or at
least was lately, in the hands of sir Joh. Clopton, who mar-

" Civil Wars, Temp. Car. I. which are still preserved in
" MS. among Mr. Ashmole's books in the musaeum at
"Oxford." [No. 1110.] After his majesty's return, he
was confirmed in his Gartership, and made one of the
clerks of the privy council ; and dying suddenly in White-
hall, 19 Febr. 1 676, his body was conveyed to Stratford
upon Avon in Warwickshire, and buried in the church
there, among thegraves of the Cloptons of Clopton in that
parish. In his office of Garter king of arms succeeded Will.
Dugdale, Norroy, as I have before told you, and in his clerk-
•ship of the privy-council sir Tho. Dolman of Shaw near
Newbury in Berks.

Nov. 1. Matthew Smallwood of Brasen. coll. — He was
afterwards dean of Litchfield.

Fehiunando Marsham esq; — He was brother to sir Joh.
Marsham the critic.

Jekv'ais Hoi, lis a parliament man for Great Grimesby in
Lincolnshire. — He had lately retired to his majesty, because
of the violent proceedings against him his said majesty in the
parliament sitting at Westminster, being then serjeant m.ojor,
and in the next year he sate as a member in the pari, held at
Oxon. — " Coll. Jervais HoUis, master of the requests, died
" 10 Feb. 1674, and was buried at Mansfield in Nottingham-
" shire. See Mr. Ashiiiole in his Diary."

George Wentworth another parliament man for Pom-
phret in Yorkshire. — He also left that parliament, retired to
his majesty, and sate in the Oxford parliam. l643.

On the said first of Nov. were- more than 70 persons
actually created masters of arts, among whom, towards the
latter end of the solemnity, when it grew dark, some did
obtrude themselves that were not in the catalogue of those
to be created, which was signed by his majesty. One of
them was named Henry Leighton a Scot, mostly educated
in France, but at this time (l642) actually in arms for his
majesty, and soon after was an officer. Some years after the
declining of the king's cuuse, he settled for altogether in
Oxon, read and taught the French language to young
scholars, and for their use wrote and published (l) Linguce
Gallicx addiscenda: Regulce. Oxon. 1659. in tw. Publislied
afterwards again with many additions to the great advantage
of the learner. (2) Dialogues in French and English, &c.

This person, who might have been more beneficial to man-
kind than he was, had his principles been sound, (which
were not, and therefore in some res|)ect8 lie debauched young
men) died by a fall down stairs in St. John's coll. (where he
had a chamber allowed him by the society) on the 28th of
January ]668 : whereui)on his body was buried the next day
in the church of St. Giles in the north suburb of Oxon.

Dec. 20. Tho. Penruddock of St. Mary's hall. He

was a younger son of sir Joh. Penrudtlock, whom I shall
mention among the created doctors of the civ. law.

Edward Sherburne commissary generiil of his mt^esty's
artillery in Oxon, wi»s actuidly created master of arts on the

same day 'J'his person, who hath been greatly venerated

for his polite learning, was born in his father's house in
Goldsmith.s-rents near Red-cross-street in the parish of St.
Giles Cripplegate in London, on the ISth of Sept. I6l3, son
of Edw. Sherburne esq; a native of the city of Oxon, and
clerk of his majesty's ordnance within the kingdom of Eng-
land, son of Hen. Sherburne, gent, a retainer to C. C. C. in
this university, but descended from the ancient and genteel
family of his name now remainingatStonyhurst in the county
palatine of Lancaster, "and born at Haighton not far from
" Preston in the said county. The said Edw. father of our
" author having taken to wife Frances the second daughter
" of John Stanley, sometimes of Roydon-Hall in the county
" of Essex, esq; descended from the Stanleys of Houghton
" in Chesh. by w hom he had besides other children" Edw.
whom I am further to mention, having been mostly trained
up in grammaf-lcarning under Mr. Tho. Farnaby, who then
tauglit in (ioldsniiths-rents before-mentioned. He was pri-
vately instructed for a time in his father's house by one
Charles Aleyn then lately usher to the said Mr. Farnabie,
but originally a member of Sidney coll. in Cambridge ; I
mean the same Ch. Aleyn, who wrote a j)oem entit. The
Battel of Cressy and Poicticrs, and afterwards The History
of Tien, the Seventh. Lond. 1638. oct. written in verse also,
with The Battel of Bosivorth ; who dying about 1 640, was
buried under the north wall of St. .Andrew's church in Hol-
bourn near London. In 1640, his father thinking it fit for
his better education to send him abroad to travel, he set
forward at Christmas that year, and continued beyond sea
till about three quarters of a year, having spent his time in
viewing a considerable part of France, and was intended for
a journey into Italy, but then unfortunately called back by
occasion of his father's sickness, who, not many weeks after
his return, died some few days before Christmas l641.
Immediately after his death, he succeeded his father in the
clerkshij) of his majesty's ordnance, granted him by patent
5 Feb. \'A Car. I. and about the months of April and May
he was outed by warrant of the then house of lords, and
committed to the Black-rod, for only adhering to the duty
of his place, and allegiance to his prince, where he lay for-
several months at great expences, and charge of fees, till
having in the beginning of Oct. following gain'd his liberty,
he went immediately to the king, who made him commissary
general of his artillery. In which condition he served him
at the battel of Edghill, and during the four years civil war;
while in the mean time he was depriv'd of an estate of l60^.
per an. (till a debt of I500/. was satisfied by way of extent
out of the land of Ord of Ord in Northumberland) his house
plunder'd, and all his personal estate and houshold goods
taken away, among which was the loss of a study of books,
as considerable in a manner as that he bought and obtained
after his majesty's restoration, which was great and choice,
and accounted one of the most considerable belonging to any
gent, in or near London. After Edghill battle he retired

•with his TOiyesty to Oxon, where he was created M. of A.
as I have tohl you, and was not wanting while he continued
there to improve himself in learning as other gentlemen did.
After the rendition of Oxford to the parliament forces, he
lived for some time in the Middle Temple at London, in
the chamlxir of a near kinsman of his, Joli. Povejj, esq; near
that of his kinsman Tho. Stanley i* at which time he published
some pieces which I shall anon mention.

First edit. banishments out of the lines of communi-

cation, as being a cavalier, which the godly
party then called malignant ; till at the return of sir George
SaviJe (iifterwards niart]uess of Halifax) from his travels
about 1651, or 1652, he was invited to take upon him the
charge of his concerns, and some time after by his honourable
mother the lady Savile her good favour, he was recommended
to undertake the tuition of her nephew sir John Coventry in
his travels abroad. In the beginning of March therefore in
1654 he left England with his charge, ran through all France,
Italy, soine part of Hungary, the greater part of Germany,
Holland and the rest of the Low Countries, and returned
about the end of Oct. 1659. By which voyage he did advance
and promote his bookish inclination, by conference with
learned persons, when he came to such places that could
['9] afford him their desired converse, more than what he could
obtain at home. After his majesty's restoration he found a
person put into his ])lace of clerk of his maj. ordnance within
the kingdom of England ( after his old sequestrators were
dead) by a relation of the gent, whose care and tuition he
had undertfiken, 1 mean by that busy " and medling" man
sir Anth. Ashley Cooper, (afterwards earl of Shaftsbury) so
that he was forced to plead the right of his patent before the
■ house of lords e'er he could get readmittance. After some
time of the king's settlement he met with a discouragement
worse than the former ; for by the politic reducers of the
charge of his majesty's revenue and treasure, he was retrenched
from the best perquisites of his office, to the value of no less
than 500/. per an. and never received any consideration more
than what the king was pleased of his own bounty to confer
upon him, which was 100/. per an. in compensation of
quadruple the loss he sustained. This person, who hath
been always an intimate friend and acquaintance as well of
the ancient Greek and Latin, as of the choicest modern poets,
both Italian, French and Spanish, hath written and translated,
(1) Medea, a Tragedy. Lond. l648 oct. translated from Lat.
into English verse, with annotations : 'Tis one of Seneca's
tragedies. (2) Seneca's Aiisvoer to Lucilius his Qucere, tohy
gaud Men suffer Misfortunes, seeing there is a divine Pro-
vidence? Lond. 1648. oct. written originally in Lat. prose,
and translated into English verse. It was dedicated by Mr.
Sherburne to king Charles I. during his captivity in the isle
of Wight, which he was pleased most graciously to approve
and accept of. (3) Salmacis, Lyrian atid Sylva, forsaken
Lydia, the Rape of Hellen, a Comment thereon, with several
other Poems. Lond. 1651. oct. On which three translations,
as also annotations on each of them, the most ingenious
Thomas Stanley before remembred (mention'd also in the
Fasti, 1640) did make an excellent copy of verses, as also
upon the mutual friendship between him and otir author Ed.
Sherburne : the beginning of which is this.

Dear friend ! I question, nor can I yet decide
Whether thou more art my delight or pride ?

(4) The Sphere of Marcus Manilius made an English Poem,
Lond. 1675, fol, 'Tis adorned with cuts, and an account
thereof is in the Philosophical Transactions, num. 130. p.
233. It was chiefly intended by its author for the use of the
young gentry and nobility of the land, to serve as their
initiation in the first rudiment of spherical learning. (5) A
Catalogue {with a Character) of the most eminent Astronomers,
ancient and modem .- Which, with other matters, as first Of
the Cosmical System, secondly A Cosmographical Astronomi-
cal Synopsis, &c. are added by way of an astronomical ap-

Troades: or the Royal Captives, a Trag. Lond. 1679. oct. •
Written originally in Lat. by L. An. Seneca, Knglished with
annotations, by Mr. Sherburne. He had likewise lying by
him another trag. of Seneca (Hippnlytus and Phcedra) long
since by him translated, with annotations. Which three
tragedies, viz. Medea, Troades and Hippolylus, he endea-
vours to prove that they belong only to tlie philosopher,
among all the rest that go under the name of Seneca. The
sixteenth Idyllium of Theocritus in N. Tate's Miscellanies is
ascribed to him, and perhaps other things in other books. In
1682, Jan. 6, his majesty king Charles II. did, in considera-
tion of his great sufferings, and the long and faithful services
by him performed to his royal father of blessed memory, and
to himself, confer upon him the honour of knighthood in his
private bedchamber at Whitehall ; having also suffered
several indignities from the faction in the time of the popish
plot, wlio endeavoured to out him of his place, for being, as
they supposed, a Rom. cath. After king James II. had ab-
dicated the government, and left the nation, he was outed
for altogether and put to trouble : So that whereas he before
for 19 years together had suffered for his loyalty to his
prince, and had in some manner suffered after his restoration,
as I have told you before, so now doth suffer uijon account
of his religion, being living near London in a retired, yet
chearful, and devout condition, spending his time altogether
in books and prayer.'

Henry Sherburne younger brother to Edw. before-raen-
tion'd, was then also Dec. 20. actually created master of arts

He was soon after made comptroller of the ordnance in

the army of Ralph lord Hopton, but how long he continued
in that employment, I know not. While he continued in
Oxon, he drew an exact ichnography of the city of Oxon,
whUe it was a garrison for his majesty, with all the fortifica-
tions, trenches, bastions, &c. perform'd for the use of sir
Tho. Glemham the governour thereof, who shewing it to the
king, he approved much of it, and wrote in it the names of
the bastions with his own hand; "and as a mark of his
" favour, was pleased to confer upon him the grant of his
" chief engineer, then void by the death of sir Charles Lloyd,
" which yet he lived not long to enjoy." This Ichnography,
or another drawn by Rich, llallingson, was by the care of
Dr. John. Fell, engraved on a copper plate and printed, pur-
posely to be remitted into Hist. ^- Antiq. Univ. Oxon. lib. 1.
between p. 364. and 365. This Henry Sherburne, who was
an ingenious man, was kill'd in a mutiny that hapned among
som.e of the soldiers in Oxon, on the I'ith of June 1646.
Whereupon his body was buried the next day in the church
of St. Peter in the East in the said city.

majesty's restoration.

Edw. Sylvester of Bal. coll. was created the same day
This person, who was a professe<l tutor in the Latin
and Greek tongues for many years in a private house in All-
saints parish in Oxon, was born at Mansfield in Notting-
hamshire, and had his sole education in the said coll. He
was the common drudge of the university either to make,
correct or review the Latin sermons of certain dull theolo-
gists thereof before they were to be delivered at St. Mary's :
as also the Greek or Latin verses of others (as dull as the
former) that were to be put in, or before, books that occa-
sionally were published. He lived to see several of his
scholars to be heads of houses in this university : amon^

batchelors of div. law and phys. and masters of arts, had an
annual feast together; to which their master was always in-
vitedj and being set at the upper end of the table, he would
feed their minds with learned discourses, and criticisms in
grammar. He died on the first of Dec. 1653, aged 6/ or
more, and was buried in the chancel of All-saints church in
Oxon. Near to his grave was afterwards buried his brother
Henry Sylvester, sometimes mayor of the city.'

Rob. Wild of Cambridge ' was also created the same

day, Nov. 1.' He was afterwards a covenanter, rector of

Aynoe in Northamptonshire,' in the place, aa I conceive, of
an honest cavalier sequestred from it, ejected thence for
nonconformity after the king's restoration, being then D.
of D. and much celebrated for his poetry, which he wrote in
behalf of the presbyterians, as John Cleaveland did against
them. Some of his works are ( 1 ) The Tragedy of Christ.

made prebend of Stratford in the church of Salisbury, and
of Welton-WesthaU in the church of Line.'* The third (Hen.

in All-saints church in Oxon. As for Fulham and Gurgany,
there will be mention made of them in these Fasti, an. 166O.

Doctors of Law.

From the first of Nov. to the 21st of Feb. were actually
created 60 or more doctors of the civil law, the names of
most of which do follow.

was now lieutenant general of all his niiyesty's forces within
the counties of Lincoln, Rutland, Huntingdon, Cambridge
and Norfolk, and lost his life in his service near to Gains-
borough in Lincolnshire, 30 of July 1643. The most loyjil sir
Francis VVortley hath an elegy on him in his Characters and
Elegies, which being just and deservedly spoken of him, I shall
refer the reader to it ; but tlic book, I doubt, is scarce to be
seen or had. This most noble count Pierpont was father to
Henry marq. of Dorchester, born at Mansfield in Notting-
hamshire, an. iSoG, educated for some time in Eman. coll.
in Cambr. and afterwards was a hard student for 10 or 12
hours a day. Upon the breaking out of the civil war in
1642 he adhered to his mtgesty, was with him at Oxon after
the battel at Edghill, and had a degree conferred on him, or
at least was incorporated, tho' neglected to be registred by
the common scribe of the university. He was then esteemed
a learned man, as being well read in the fathers, schoolmen,
casuists, the civil and can. law and reasonably well versed in
the common law, having about tliat time been admitted a
bencher of Grey's inn. In l649 he applied his study to me-
dicine and anatomy, and in 1658 he was admitted fellow of
the coU. of phys. at Lond. and became their pride and glory.'
He hath published (1) Two Speeches spoken in the House of
Lords. One concerning the Rights of Bishops to sit in Par-
liament, 21 qf May, and the other Concerning the Lawjidness
and Conveniency of their intermedling in temporal Jffairs, on

Letter to John Lord Roos, written the 13, and printed on one
side of a sheet of paper on the 25 of Feb. J 659. It was
written upon occasion of some differences between the said
lord Roos and his wife Anne, daughter of the said marquess :
From which lord the said Anne was afterwards for lier
whorishness lawfully divorced by sentence of the court-
christian, and then commonly known by the name of the
lady Anne Vaughan. As soon as the said letter was received
by the lord Roos, lie wrote another in answer to it, in a buf-
fooning style, 25 Feb. 1659, assisted therein by Sam. Butler,
afterwards known by the name of Hudibras : Which being
printed also on one side of a sh. of paper, the marq. made a
reply with another paper entit. (4) The Reasons why the
Marq. of Dorchester printed his Letter, 25 Fehr. 1 659, toge-

March 1659 on one side of a sh. of paper. He the said mar-
quess hath, as 'tis probable, other things extant,'' or at least
fit to be printed, which I have not yet seen. He died in his
house in Charterhouse yard near London, 8 Decemb. 168O ;
whereupon his body, after it had lafn in state for some time,
was conveyed to his antient seat called Holme-Pierpont in
Nottinghamshire, wliere it was buried in the church of that
place among the sepulchres of his name and family. Soon
after was published an elegy on this noble and generous
marquess, by John Crouch sometimes his domestic servant j
which being too large for this place, shall be now omitted.
Rob. Dormer, Earl of Caernarvon, was actually

created at the same time, Novem, 1. This most loyal

count, who was Mercurio magnus, sed Marti msyor, was

killed the next year at Newbury fight, and soon after had an
elegy made on him by sir Francis Wortley before-mentioned,
which is printed among his Characters and Elegies. His
body was for the present deposited in Jesus coll. chappel,
but soon after removed to his seat in Bucks,*

James Lord Compton. — He was afterwards earl of
Northampton, lieutenant of the county of Worwick, as aUo
of the city of Coventry, recorder likewise of the said city, as
also of Northampton and of Tamworth, and did excellent
service for his miyesty in the time of the rebellion, especially
by his routing the parliament forces near Banbury, 6 of May
1613. He died at Castle-Ashby in Northamptonshire, in
Dec. 168I, and was buried in a vault by his ancestors, under
the church of Compton Winniate, commonly called Compton
in the hole, in Warwickshire. He had a younger brother
named sir Charles Compton a most valiant person, and one
that had done his maj. great service in the said rebellion. [23]
He died in the latter end of Nov. IO61, (being then a pari,
man for the town of Northampton) and was buried at Sywell
in Northamptonshire.

Robert Lord Rich. — The same, if I mistake not, that
was afterwards earl of Holland.

Colonel Sir Joh. BySon knight of the Bath, lately lieu-
tenant of the Tower of London. He was about this time

made field-marshal of aU his majesty's forces in the county
of Worcester, Salop, Chester, and North Wales, and in the
19 of Car. 1. was advanced to the title of lord Byron of
Rochdale in Lancashire,

Sir Will. Le Neve knt. Clarenceaux king of arms.^ —
This person was of the antient family of his name living at
Aslacton in Norfolk, received some academ. education in
Caius college in Camljridge, and afterwards by the favour of
the earl marshal of England was created herald extraordinary
by tlie title of Mowbray, 29 June J 624. Soon after he waa
made York herald, was imployed into France in the first of
Car. 1, and from thence attended qu. Henrietta Maria into
England ; who with sir Henry S. George then Richmond
herald, were royally rewarded by her majesty, with the ' gift
of a thousand French crowns. He was also employed to
attend upon hid majesty's embassage, which was sent in the

5 [This day also (at Newbury fight) fell the earl of Carnarvon, who, after
he had charged and routed a body of the eneniie's horse, coming carelessly
back by some of the scatter'd troopers, was, by one of them that knew him,
run through the body with a sword ; of which he died within an hour. He
was a person, with whose great parts and virtue the world was not enough
acquainted. Before the war, though his education was adorned by travel,
and an exact observation of the manners of more natious than our cominoa
travellers use to visit, for he had, after the view of Spain, France, and mnt
parts of Italy, spent some time in Turky, and those eastern countries, he
seem'd to be wholely delighted with those looser exercises of pleasure, hunt- •
ing, hawking and the like, in which the nobility of that time too much
delighted to excel. After the troubles begun, having the command of the
first or second regiment of horse that was raised for the king's service, he
wholely gave himself up to the office and duty of a soldier ; no man more'
diligently obeying, or more dexterously commanding ; for he was not only of
a very keen courage in the exposing of his person, but an excellent discemer
and pursuer of advantage upon bis enemy. He had a mind and understand-
ing very present in the article of danger, which is a rare benefit in that pro-
fession. Those infirmities, and that licence, which he had formerly indulged
to himself, he put off with a severity, when others thought them excusable
under the notion of a soldier. He was a great lover of justice, and practised
it then most deliberately, when he had power to do wrong: and so strict in
the observation of his word and promise as a commander, that he could not
be perswaded to slay in the west, when he found it not in his power to
perform the agreement he had made with Dorchester and Weymouth. If he
had lived, he would liave proved a great ornament to that profession, and an
excellent soldier, and by his death the king found a sensible weakness in his
army. — Such is lord Clarendon's excellent character of this nobleiuan.]

year 1629 unto the French king Lewis 13, and at the cere-
monies clone thereat, he there performed his office in his
coat of arms, as it appears in a French relation about tliat
time printed. At his return from thence, tlie king rewarded
him with a chain of gold of good value, and a medal of his
portraicture. Afterwards he was made Norroy, and at length
Clarenceaux ; and closely adhering to his majesty's cause,
was not only several times in danger of his life by summon-
ing certain garrisons to be delivered up to his majesty, and
afterwards upon denial, by proclaiming the soldiers of those
garrisons traytors, in his coat of arms and trumpets sounding,
but also lost his estate during the time of usurpation. I
have seen several of his collections concerning ceremonies,
which are often quoted in the book of Elias Ashmole, esq;
entit. The Institutions, Laws mid Ceremonies of the most
noble Order of the Garter. I have also seen other of his
collections of monumental and fenestral inscriptions, which
have been used and quotetl by others, and may be of great
use to some that are curious and critical in those matters.
At length being craz'd or distemper'd in his brain, was kept
close in a house of lunatics at Hogsden alias Hoxton near
London: So that being not in a capacity of being restored
to his place of Clarenceaux after his majesty's return, much
less at his coronation in the beginning of 1661, his office
was conferred on sir Edw. Bysshe, who kept it to his dying
day. This sir Will. Le Neve, who had been very knowing
and well versed in matters of arms, armory, and all matters
pertaining thereunto, dyed at Hogsden before-mentioned :
Whereupon his body being conveyed to the church of St.
Bennet near Paul's Wliarf in London (in which parish the
coll. of arms is situated) was therein buried, 15 Aug. I66I.
After his death most of his collections came into the hands
of sir Edw. Walker, some of which he gave to the said coll.
and others he left to sir John Clopton who married the said
sir Edward's daughter and heir.

Henry Hastings, esq; " the second son of Henry earl of
" Huntingdon," was actually created also doctor of the civil

law on the same day, Novemb. 1 . He was created lord

Hastings of Loughborough in Leicestershire, 22 Oct. 1643.
Christopher Lewknore, esq; — He was a burgess for
the city of Chichester, to ser\e in that pari, that began 3
Nov. 1640, but leaving it because of the violent proceedings
of the members thereof, he retired to Oxon, adhered to his
miyesty's cause, sate in the parliament there 1643, and on
the 16 of Dec. 1644, he being then a colonel in his majesty's
army, received the honour of knightiiood.

Tho. Hanmore. — His bare name only standing in the re-
gister, I can say nothing of him, only by conjecture, viz.
That he was sir Tho, Hanmore, baronet, who had been bur-
gess for the town of Flint in that parliament that began at
Westm. on the 13 of Apr. 1640.

Sir Rob. Stapylton knight. — This person, who was the
third son of Rich. Stapylton of Carleton in Moreland in
Yorkshire, esq; was educated a Rom. cathol. in the coU. of
the English Benedictines at Doway in Flanders, and being
too gay and poetical to be confine<l within a cloyster, he left
them, went into England, turned protestant, weis made one
of the gentlemen in ord. of the privy chamber to prince
Charles, followed his majesty when he left London, was
knighted 13 Sept. 1642, followed him after Edghill battel to
Oxon, where he was ;ictually created doct. of the civil law,
as before 'tis told you, suffered when the royal cause declined,
lived a studious life in the time of usurpation, and at length
upon the restoration of king Charles 11. (if not happily
before) he was made one of the gent, ushers of the privy
chamber belonging to him. He hath written ( 1 ) The slighted

buried near to the vestry door in the abbey church of St.
Peter at \^''estminster. He was uncle to sir Miles Stapylton
of Yorkshire, younger brother to Dr. Stapylton a I'enedictine
monk : which last wrote himself and was usually called Be-
nedictus Gregorius Stapylton, being president of the English
Benedictines. He died in t)ie monastery of the English
Benedictines at Delaware in Loraine, 4 Aug. 168O, and was
there interr'd.

in Oxfordshire baronet. He was son and heir of sir John

Walter sometimes chief baron of the exchequer, and dying '
on the 23d of March 1674, aged 74 years, was buried in the
parish church of Churciiill before-mention'd.

Sir John Monson or Mounson of South Carleton in
Lincolnshire knight of the Bath, and baronet. This per-
son, who was son of sir Tho. Mounson of the same place
baronet, was born in the parish of St. Sepulcher in London,
not bred in any university, only spent some time in one of
the inns of court, whereby he became as good a lawyer as any
in London, and as wise a man as any now ( 16-12) in Oxon,
\vhen then he assisted in all councils, and was in all treaties,
particularly in that concerning the surrender of the garrison
of Oxford to the parliament, an. l646. He afterwards suf-

report among ids rehitions at this day is, that when he was
in Oxon in the war time he was made doctor of physic, but
false J for lie being vers'd in the common, thouglit it conve-
nient to be created doctor of the civil, law, and among tliose
doth his name stand.

Sir Christopher Hatton knight of the Bath. He

was created lord Hatton of Kirbye in Northamptonshire, by
let. pat. bearing date at Oxon ug Jul. l643, and about tliat
time was made (irivy-counsellor to king Charles I. and comp-
troller of his housliold, he lieing then accounted a friend to
all that loved the king and church of England, for whicli he
suffered in a high degree. Some time after the restoi'ation,
his majesty was pleased, of his own accord, in consideration
of his vast sufferings an(^ eminent loyalty, -to make him one
of his privy-council, and as a testinrony of furtiier favour, he
not only made him governour of the isle of Ciuernsey, for his
life, but conferral the revfirsion of that government on his
son, as a lasting mark-'of honour on his family. This
Christoph. L. Hatton was a principal Mecaenas of learning,
and more especially of antiquities," wherein his skill and
knowledge did far surpass any within the compass of his orb
(the nobility) tliat I know.

Sir Brian Palmes of Ashwell or Astwell in Rutlandshire

kt. This loyal knight, (son of sir Guy Palmes) who had

been educated inTrin. coll. was chose a burgess for Aldburg
in Yorkshire, to serve in that pari, which began at Westm.
13 Apr. 16-10, but whether he did sit in the pari, at Oxon
1643 I know not. He died in lOS'J.

Sir Will. Brounker kt. late commissary general of the
musters in the Scotch expedition, aik 1639, now vice-cham-
berlain to prince Charles and one of the privy chamber to
king Charles I. was then hlso (Nov. 1.) actually created

doctor of the civil law. This loyal knight, who was son

of sir Hen. Brounker president of Munster in Ireland, by
Anne his wife sister of Henry lord Morley, was created vis-
count of Castle-Lyons in the said kingdom 12 Sept. 16-15,
and dying in Wadh. coll. in the middle of Nov. following,

Ch. Ch. in Oxon, leaving then behind him a son named
William, aged 25 years or thereabouts, of whom I shall
speak at large under the year 1646. Winefrid the widow of
the said lord Brounker (dau. of Will. Leigh of Newenham
in Warwickshire) died 20 July J 649, after she had lost and
won vast sums of money by gaming : whereupon her body
was conveyed to Oxon, and buried by that of lier husband.
Many years after was a large marble stone laid over their
graves, and in the wall near it wiis erected a splendid monu-
ment of alabaster containingtheir statues sitting, both leaning
on !i table that stands between them.

Sir Nich. Bykon of Norfolk, was also then created doctor

of the civ. law. He was uncle to John lord Byron, was a

colonel and an excellent commander of foot. King Charles
I. did so much value him, that in warlike engagements he
would have him always near to him. I have been told by
persons that had degrees conferr'd up6n them in these crea-
tions, that Thomas, Robert ^ and William Byron, all
knights, valiant colonels for his majesty and brothers to the
most couragious lord Byron before-mention'd, had degrees
conferr'd on them, but in what faculty they knew not, nor
are they registred. For the truth is the public scribe or re-
gistrary of the university that now was, being given more to
bibbing and smoaking than the duty of his office, many
learned and valiant persons are omitted by him. Nay, those
also that are by him remembred have only their bare names,
and sometimes only their sirnames, set down, without the
addition of their titles, quality, office, or place of habitation.
Sir Thof Byron before-mention'd was buried on the left Side
of the grave of William lord Grandison in a little isle joyning
on the south side of the choir of Ch. Ch. cathedral in Oxon,
9 Feb. 16+3.

VVingfield Lord Cromwell. — He was, after the death
of his father, earl of Arglas in Ireland.

Will. Chadwell esq; He was burgess for Michel in

Cornwall to serve :n tliat pari, that began at Westm. 3 Nov.
1640: which parliament he leaving because of the violent
proceedings therein, retired to his majesty at Oxon, and sate
in the pari, there.

Ferdinando Stanhope esq; He was a burgess for

Tamworth in Staffordshire for the said parliament, but leav-
ing it, he retired to his majesty and sate in the Oxford par-
liament : this worthy person, who was a younger son of
Philip earl of Chesterfield, was made a colonel of horse in
the king's army, and was soon after slain at Bridgford in
Nottinghamshire.

John Dutton of Sherbourne in Glocestershire esq;^He
was one of the knights for that county to sit in the said par-
liament; but being frighted thence by the tumults that came
up to the parliament door, as other royalists were, he con-
veyed himself privately to Oxon, and sate there. He was a
learned and a prudent man, and as one of the richest, so one
of the meekest, men in England. He was active in making
the defence, and drawing up the articles, of Oxon, when the
garrison was to he surrendred to the parliament : for which,
and his steddy loyalty he afterwards was forced to pay a
round sum in Goldsmiths hall at London. " He died 14
Jan. 165O."

John Lufton of St. Jxyh. coll. He was now rector of

Ibstock in Leicestershire, where being always esteemed a
great royalist and episcopalian, wiis therefore forced thence
by the faction : so that flying to Oxon as an asylum, he was

his son king Charles H . after wliose restoration he was several
times elected burgess for the city of Oxford. He died in the
Old Palace Yard at Westminster, 12 Apr. l684, and was bu-
ried in the church of Halton near to the grave of his father
sir Thorn. Whorwood knt. leaving then behind him a natural
son named Thomas, begotten on the body of his servant
named Katliarine, daughter of Thomas Allen of the parish

Sir Thom. Hele of Devonsh. bart. He was burgess

for Plimjiton in the pari, that began 13 Apr. l640, and with
sir Job. Hele (both lords of great estates in their country)
and Walt. Hele of Winston did retire to his majesty at Oxon,
[26] adhere to him, and thereby brought his cause into great
credit for the justness of it, as also rich contributions there-
unto, and many forces to maintain it.

Will. Dowdeswell of Pemb. coll. This jjerson, who

■was accounte<l a learnetl man among those of his society,
became preb. of Worcester in l660, in the place of Francis
Charlet M. A. some years before that dead; and had, if I
mistake not, other spiritualities in the church. In his pre-
bendship succeeded Dr. George Benson archdeacon of Here-
ford, an. 1671.

On the same day (Nov. 1.) were also created doctors of
the civil law Joh. Knotsford (a knight I think) Joh.
Wandeston, Will. Atkyns.Joh. Palmer, and onePEACHY;
or at least were permitted to be created when they pleased ;
■which is all I yet know of them,

liament there 1643.

Dec. 20. Sir Tho. Manwaring* knt. "of the Inner-

Hen. Moody sometimes a gent. com. of Magd. hall. I
take this person to be the same with sir Hen. Moody bart.
(son of sir Hen. Moody of Garsdon in Wiltshire knight and

poetical fancy. The father who had been a well bred gentle-
man died in 1630.

Jan. 31. Edw. Lord Littleton, lord keeper of the great
senl.

Sir John Banks knt. lord chief justice of the common
pleas, was actually created doctor of the civil law the same

day. This worthy person was born of honest parents in

Cumberland, at Keswick as 'tis said, became a commoner
of Qu. coll. in this university, an. 1604, aged 15 years, left
it before he took a degree, entred himself a student in Greys
inn in Holborn near London, where applying himself most
severely to the study of the common law, became a barrester
and a counsellor of note. In the 6lh of Car. I. lie being then
a knight, and attorney to pr. Charles, was constituted Lent
reader of that house, and in the /tli of Car. I. he was made
treasurer thereof. In 1640, l6 Car. I. he was made' lord

Sir Francis Crawley of Luton in Bedfordshire knight,
one of the justices of the common pleas, was also then ac-
tually created doctor of the civil law. You may read

much of him in the Memoirs of the Lives and Actions of ex-
cellent Personages, &c. published by David Lloyd M. A.
Lond. 1668. fol.

Sir Rob, Forster knight, one of the justices of the' com-
mon pleas, was also then created. He was the youngest

son of sir Thom, Forster knt. one of the justices of the com-
mon pleas in the time of king Jam. I, was, after he had left
the university, a student in the Inner-Temple, where he be-
came a barrester and counsellor of note. In the 7th of Car.
I, he was elected summer reader of that house, in the 12th
he was made serjeant at law, and in the 15th of the said
king's reign one of the justices of the king's bench, and
about that time a knight. Afterwards he followetl his ma-
jesty to Oxon, sate in the pari, there, as sir Joh. Banks and
sir Franc, Crawley did, suffered as other royalists when the
king's cause declined, and compounded for his estate. After
his majesty's restoration, he was made lord chief just, of the
king's bench 31 May l660, and in Oct.'' following lord chief
just, of the common pleas. He died on the fourth day of
Oct. l663, aged 74 years, and was buried in the church at

Feb. 7. Sir Rob. Heath lord chief justice successively of
the com. pleas and king's bench, was then actually created

doctor of the civ. law. ^This noted and loyal person was

bom in tlie parish of Eatonbridge in Kent and baptize<l in
the church there/ educated in tlie knowledge of the common
law in the Inner-Temple, made recorder of London 10 Nov.
I6l8, in the place of Rich. Martin deceased, summer reader
of the same Temple in 1619, solicitor general in the year
following, (being then of Mitcham in Surrey, and justice of
the peace for that county) attorney general in 1625, Serjeant
[27] at law 1632, one of the justices of the common bench in
16-10, and two years after, or more, lord chief just, of the
common bench or pleus, he being then with his maj. at
Oxon.' He hath extant Objections in a Conference desired
by the Lords and held by a Committee of both Houses con-
cerning the Rights and Privileges of the Subject, 3 Apr. 4
Car. I. Lond. 1641, qu. Upon the declining of the king's
cause he fled beyond the sea, being an excepted person by the
parliament, and died at Caen in Normandy * about the end
of Aug. 1619, leaving then behind him a son named Edward,
who had his father's estate restored to him after his majesty's
return from his exile. One Rob. Heath esq; wrote and
published, Clarestella , together with other occasioned Poems,
Elegies, Epigrams and Satyrs, Lond. 1650, in tw. but what
kin he was to sir Rob. Heath the judge, or whether he was
of this university, 1 know not as yet.

Sir Samfson Ewre knight, sometimes written Evers,

Serjeant at law, was created the same day. This person,

who was tlio third son of sir Franc. Ewre knt. brother to
Ralph lord Ewre, had been his majesty's attorney gen. in
Wales, was now with him in Oxon, sate in the parliament
there, and was afterwards a sufferer for his cause.

RoB. HoLBOURNE a Counsellor of Line, inn, was also

created doct. of the civ. law the same day. In l640 he

was chose burgess for Michel in Cornwal to serve in that
pari, that began at Westm. 3d of Nov. the same year, and on
the 1 5th of Dec. following, he argued two hours in the
house of commons in justification of the canons. In 1641
he was Lent reader of the siime inn, and soon after leaving
the pari, because of their desperate proceedings, " (tho' he
" had formerly given advice against ship-money)" he retired
to his maj. at Oxon, sate in the pari, there, 1643, and in the
latter end of that year was made the prince's attorney, in the
place of sir Rich. Lane, one of his majesty's privy council,
and a knight. In the latter end of l644 he was present at
the treaty at Uxbridge in the behalf of his majesty, as he
was afterwards at that in the isle of AVight : About which
time retiring to London, he was forced to compound for his
estate, but not permitted to abide in any of the inns of court.

of the king's life-guard of horse, and was slain at bis ma-
jesty's going from Newark to Oxford, towards the latter end
of August 1645.

Sir Thom. Thyvne knt. was also created the same day.

1 take this to be the same sir Thorn, who was a younger

son of sir Thom. Thynne of Longleat in Wilts, knt. and the
same who was father, by liis wife the daughter of Dr. Walt.

in Wilts, esq; was then (being in the service of his majesty)
actually created doctor of the civ. law, and three days after
had tlie honour of knighthootl conferr'd upon him by his

majesty. He was father to colonel John Penrudtlock,

who when a youth at Blandford school, and after when a
fellow com. of Qu. coll. in this university delighted in books,
when a man, in arms ; which in his maturer years he will-
ingly put on to redeem tlie liberties of three enslaved king-
doms, tho' with the loss of his own life by the axe in the
castle of Exeter, 16 May l655. Let therefore all military
men of honour approach with devotion his altar-tomb,
and offer up their tributary tears, as due victims to distressed
valour.

Adrian Scrope of Cockrington in Lincolnshire esq; was

actually created tlie same ilay. This most valiant person,

who was son of sir Jervais Scrope of the same place and
high sheriff of Lincolnshire 1634, did most loyally attend his
majesty at the figlit of Edghill, where receiving several
wounds, was strip'd and left among the dead, as a dead
person, there, but brought off by his son, and recovered by
the immortal Dr. Will. Harvey, who was there, but with-
drawn under a hedge with the prince and duke, while the
battle was in its height. 'Tis reported that this Adr. Scrope
received J 9 wounds in one battle in defence of his majesty's
cause,^ but wlietlicr in that fought at Edghill I cannot justly
say : sure I am that he was made knight of the Bath at the
coronation of king Charles II. an. 1661. There was another
Adrian Scrope a soldier also, but taking part witli the par-
liament, became one of the judges of king Charles I. as I
shall elsewhere tell you.

Mar John Godolphin of Glouc. hall.

This year, but the month, week or duy when, I know not,
[28] (being omitted by the registrary) was actually created doctor
of the civ. law Rob. Levinz M. A. of Line, coll, now in
arms for his majesty, and a very zealous person for his
cause. He was son of Will. Levinz of Seukworth, joyning
to Botley, near Abingdon in Berks, (who exercise<l the trade
' of brewing in the parish of St. Peter in the Baily, within

the city of Oxon) and he the son of Will. Levinz sometimes
alderman and apothecary of the said city. This Rob. who
was afterwards a captain, did considerable service according
to his capacity, but upon the surrender of the garrison of
Oxon, to the parliament, he betook himself to his book
again, as some hundreds of scholars did that had bore arms.
After the murder of king Charles I. he engaged himself for
his son, received a commission from him for the raising of
forces and blank commissions for divers officers. But being
at length discovered by certain inquisitive persons employed
purposely to find out plots against the state, he was hurried
before a court-marshal, where acknowledging their allega-
tions against him and the justice of his cause, was by them
sentenced to be hang'd. Whereupon he was hurried away
in a coach from the Mewse (guarded by a troop of horse) to
the exchange in Cornhill, where he was executed about noon
on the 18th of Jul. 1650, aged 35 years, leaving a widow
behind him, daughter of sir Peregrine Bertie, son of Robert
earl of Lindsey. These things I here set down because the
said Dr. Levinz was afterwards numbred among the loyal
martyrs.

Doctors of Physic,

From the 1st of Nov. to the 31st of Jan. were more than
20 doctors of physic actually created, of which number were
these that follow.

Nov. 1. Sir Rich. Napier knt. originally of Wadh. coll.
afterwards fellow of that of All-soul's, was then actually

created doctor of phys. Tiiis person, who was nephew

and heir to Rich. Napier rector of Linford in Bucks, a
younger son of sir Rob. Napier of Luton-Hoe in Bedford-
shire bt. was afterwards one of the first members of the
Royal Society, a great pretender to virtue and astrology,'
made a great noise in the world, yet did little or nothing
towards the public. He died in tlie house of sir John
Lenthall at Besills-Lee near Abingdon in Berks, 17 Jan.
1675, and was buried in the church at Linford before-men-
tioned ; the manor of which did belong to him ; but after
his death his son Thorn, sold it for 19500/, or thereabouts,'*
The said sir Richard drew up a book containing A Collection

' [Mr. Aubrey in his MisctHanies 8vo. page 170. This I extracted oot of
Dr. Napier's original Diary, then in possession of Mr. Ashraole :

When E. W. esq' (Edward Waller) was about eight years old, he was
troubled with the worms. His grandfather carried him to Dr. Nopier at
Lynford. Mr. E. W. peeped in at the closet, at the end of the gallery, and
saw him upon his knees at prayer, llic doctor told sir Francis, that at four-
teen years old, his grandson would be freed from that dislemper, and he was
so : the medicine he prescribed was to drink a little draught of Muscadine
in the morning. Twas about I6'25. This Dr. Kicliard Nepier was rector
of Lynford in Bucks, and did practise physick, but gave most to the poor
that he got by it. lis certain he told his own death tu a day and hour. He
dyed praying upon his knees, being of a very great age 1634., Apr. 1. He

was nearly related to the learned lord Nepier baron of M in Scotland, I

have forgot whether his brother. His knees were horny with frequent
praying. He left his estate to sir Richard Nepier RI. D of the college of
physicians, London, fi-om whom Mr. Ashraole had the doctor's picture now
in the museum. Kennet.I

both his names and a knight too, author of The Seamen'* . ^u

Parts belonging to a Ship.* Lond. 1670. qu. Whether the
same I cannot tell.

Sir Joh. Tehryngham knt. high sheriff of Buckingham-
shire, was created the same day. — He died on the second
day of May l645, and was buried in St. Mary's church in
Oxon.

Sir John Stawell knt. of the Bath,'sometimes gent. com.
of Queen's coll. was also created the same day. — He was one
of the knights for Somersetshire to serve in that pari, which
began at Westm. 3 Nov. i640, but leaving it when the king
was forced to leave Westminster, he retired' to him at Oxon,
and sate there for a time in the parliament conven'd there.
That which is chiefly memorable of this most worthy person,
is, that being one of the most eminent men in Somersetshire
for estate, wisdom and prudence, did, after he had undergone
all the principal services and employments for his country,
viz. high sheriff, deputy lieutenant, and knight for the shire
in several parliaments, most loyally and courageously take
up arms, with three of his sons, raised three regiments of
horse, and two of dragoons and of foot upon his sole charge
in defence of his majesty king Charles I. as also of the laws
of this kingdom, and rights of the subject, invaded by
wicked conspirators under colour of reformation, an. l642.
He was then a colonel of horse, and soon after was made
governour of Taunton, and continued there till remanded.
Upon the declining of the king's cause, he was not admitted
to his composition, as others were, tho' compriz'd within
the articles of Exeter upon the surrender of that city to the
powers at that time prevailing: And the reason was, because
they thirsted not only after his large estate, but conspired
also to take away his life. He endured in those times of
alBiction long and tedious imprisonments in the press-yard
in Newgate, and other goales, and after in the Tower of
London : And did with admirable wisdom and courage ap-
prove himself an eminent assertor of the laws and liberties
of the kingdom by making such a defence in their several
bloody tribunals, (viz. at their upper bench bar and high r2g]
court of justice) as that he put to silence those bold judges,
who sate there with design to take away his life. And tho'
he was reduced to the greatest want and misery which his
severe opposers by sale of his lands, and cutting down his

strance to the Parliament iif the Commonxvenlth of England,

king Charles II. was graciously pleased to create Ralph Sta-
well esq; a baron of England, by the name and stile of lord
Stawell of .Somerton, in consideration of the eminent loyalty
and sufferings of his father before-mentioned, during all the

Peter Hausted M. A. of Cambridge was actually created

D. of D. the same day. This noted perscm was born at

Ouniile in Northamptonsliire, educated in Queen's coll. in the
same university, enter'd into holy orders when M. of A. be-
came curate of Uppingham in Rutlandshire, and at length
rector, as 'tis said, of Hadham in Hertfordshire. Upon the
breaking out of the rebellion, or thereabouts, he became

GiLB. Wats batch, of div, of Line. coll. was actually
created D. D. the same day.

James Fleetwood of Cambridge was also then created. —
He was the seventh son of sir George Fleetwood of the Voche
in the parish of Chalfont S. Giles in Bucks, knight, by his
wife Catherine ' daughter of Henry Denny of Waltham in
Essex, and sister to sir Edw. Denny earl of Norwich : And,
being when a child, very forward to learn, he was sent to
Eaton school, where being ripen'd for the university, was
admitted scholar of King's coll. in Cambridge, an. 1622.
After he was four years standing in the degree of master of
arts, he became chaplain to Dr. Wright bishop of Litchfield,
by whom lie was presented to the vicaridge of Frees or Priss
in Shropsliire, and soon after collated to the prebendship of
Eccleshall belonging to the said church of Litchfield, but
before he was admitted or installed, tl^ rebellion broke out.
Afterwards being forced for his loyalty' to forsake his pre-
ferment, he betook himself to the wars, and became chaplain
to the regiment of John earl of Rivers, and in the quality of
a chaplain he continued to the end of the said wars. In
1642, he wiis by the king's special command honoured with
the degree of doct. of div. for the service he did him at Edg-
hill fight, and soon after was made chaplain to Charles
prince of Wales, and rector of Sutton-Colfield in M'arwick-
shire. After the wars were ceased, and he ejected thence,
he became tutor to three earls, viz. to the earl of Litchfield,
earl of Kildare, and the earl of Sterling : Afterwards to two
dukes, namely to Esme duke of Richmond and Lenox, with
whom he travelled into France (where he died) and to
Charles who succeeded him in his dukedoms. After the re-
storation of king Charles IL he was the first that was sworn
chaplain in ord. to him, was made provost of King's coll. in
Cambridge in June 1660, and about that time rector of An-
stey in Hertfordshire, and of Denhani in Bucks.' On the
29th of Aug. 1675, the archbishop of Cant, being then at
Croydon, and the bishop of London (Henchman) languishing
and near his end, he the said Dr. Fleetwood was consecrated
bishop of Worcester, not in the chap, at Lambeth, or in that
at Fulham, nor in Bow Church, because unfinished, but in
the chiu-ch of St. Peter le Poor in Broadstreet in London, in
the place of Dr. Walt. Blandford deceased ; at which time
his old friend and acquaintance Dr. Charles Mason sometimes
of King's coll. was rector of the said church, and procured
for him a neighbouring hall to keep his consecration feast
in. He died on the 17th of July i6S3, aged 81 years, and
was buried near the body of bishop Gauden in our Lady's
chappel within the precincts of the cath. ch. at Worcester.
In his provostship of King's coll. succeeded sir Tho. Page
knight, about Michaelmas 1675, a person of great expe-
rience, learning, and infinite accomplishments, (who died 8
Aug. 168 1) and in his bishoprick Dr. Will. Thomas, as I
have elsewhere told you. After Easter in 16'87 was erected
over the grave of the said bishop Fleetwood a large marble
monument, with an epitaph of his own making, which
being too large for this place, shall be now omitted. Tho'
this bishop was a very loyal person, yet several of his family
of the Vache were great parliamentiers and Cromwellians,
among whom was George Fleetwood one of the judges of

These two last were created the same day, or at least were
allowed their degrees when they would please to call for
them ; but whether they were educated in Ch. Ch. it appears
not, and therefore 1 presume they were strangers that came
with, and attended, the king's court, lodging now in that
house. I find one Thom. Hodges to be rector of Kensing-
ton' near London before the rebellion broke out, a preacher
sometimes before the long parliament, one of the ass. of
divines, and a covenanter. After his majesty's restoration
he became rector of St. Peter's church in Cornhill, London,'
and dean of Hereford ■* in the place of Dr. H. Croft * made
bishop thereof an. l66l; which deanery he holding to the
time of his death, was succeeded therein by Dr. George Ben-

who was rector of Soulderne near Deddington in Oxford-
shire, and batch, of divinity, not of this university but that
of Cambridge, and afterwards one of the chaplains of All-
soul's coU. in the time of Oliver, which he kept with his
rectory. This person, who was also a zealous presbyterian,
was born at Oundle in Northamptonshire, first admitted intw

presented him to the rectory of Soulderne hefore-mention'd.
VVhen the act of uniformity came out lie prevailed so much
with the said society that they nominated his friend to be his
successor, viz. one VVill. Twyne fellow of the said coll. and
then Hodges leaving the place he retired to Okingham in
Berks, and became chaplain to the hospital there, where he
died, and was buried about the month of January 1688, as I
have been infonned from Soulderne. The said Mr. Hodges
hath written ( I ) A "/'realise concerning Pratjer, containing

sundry Errors of the present Times. Lond. l658. oct. Be-

Hands, and the good Man's Mercy to the brute Creatures,

though he lived in Oxon several years, yet he was neither

Dec. 20. Edw. Wolley M. of A. or batch, of div. of
Camb. and at this time one of the chapl. to his majesty, was

actually create<l doct. of div. He was born in the antient

borough of Shrewsbury, educated in the King's school there,
transplanted thence to St. Joh. coll. in the said university,^
where he took the degrees in arts ; and afterwards adhering
to the cause of his majesty, retired to Oxon to attend, and
preached sometimes before, him there. When his majesty's
cause declined he suffered as other royalists did, attended his
son in his adverse fortune, while he himself endured great
misery. After the return of king Charles H. he became
rector of a church in Essex (Finchingfield ' I think) to settle
the inhabitants thereof in loyal jirinciples and to undo and
invalidate the doctrine which that most notorious inde-
pendent Steph. Marshall- had instill'd into them. In 1665 he
was promoted to the episcopal see of Clonfort and Kilma-
cogh in Ireland, to which being ' consecrated at Tuam on
the 16th of Apr. the same year, sate there for some time,
and was held in great veneration for his admirable way of

" in the Fasti of that year told you:" the said Matthew
Fowler was now deeply engaged in his majesty's service, for
which afterwards he suffered as other royalists did. After his
majesty's restoration he became rector of the rich church of
Whitchurch in Shropshire in the place of Dr. Xich. Bernard
deceased, where he continued to his dying day. He hath
published besides Totum Hominis, raention'd in the Fasti

church at Whitchurch before-mention'd. Soon after was a
black marble monument set up in the ftortli wall over his
grave, with an inscription * thereon, wherein 'tis said ' he
was almost '22 years rector of the said church, that he was
descended of the antient family of his name living in Staf-

afterwards of Cambridge, and the ornament and glory of

Creations.

Notwithstanding the chief members of the university had
the last year put up a petition to his majesty, against the
promiscuous conferring of degrees, and the danger that the
university was like to fall into, if some remedy in that matter
was not taken, as namely that the solemn arts and sciences
would be destroyed, the fountain of the university treasury
dried up (because that few or none that were created paid
any fees) and hopeful scholars discouraged and the university
dishonoured ; yet nevertheless his majesty could not other-
wise at this time but recommend (as he did the year before)
several of his faithful subjects to have degrees conferr'd upon
them, tho" with this caution (as the chancellor of the univer-
sity did the like in his recommendatory letters) that they
should pay all or most of the fees belonging to each degree.
The names of most of such persons that were actually created
in several faculties, are here set down.

Both these were created by virtue of the chancellor's
letters, tho' Baldwin had not been educated in any univer-
sity.

On the 9th of May this year Tho. Fletcher a student in
the municipal laws had liberty granted to him (tho' then

university, but whether he came or was admitted it appears
not ; perhaps he was the same Mr. Willisford who was
lately ejected from Peter house in Cambr, for denying the
covenant.

This worthy gentleman, who was son of Thorn. Palmer of
CarletoniiiNortliamptonshire, by Katharineliis wife, daughter
of sir Edw. Watson of Rockingham knt. sister to the first
lord Rockingham, was chosen burgess for Stanford in Lin-
colnshire to sit in that parliament which began at West-
minster 3 Nov. 1640, wlierein he was a manager^ of the
evidence against Thomas earl of Strafford, and seemed to be
an enemy to the prerogative. But afterwards perceiving full
well what mad courses tlie members of the said parliament
took, he boldly delivered his mind against the printing of
that declaration called the Grand Remonstrance ; for which
he was committed to custody in Nov. l642. Afterwards
being free() thence, he retired to Oxon, sat in tlie parliament
there, and was esteemed a loyal and able person in his pro-
fession. Upon tbe declining of the king's cause, he suffer'd
as otiier royalists did, lived obscurely in England, and upon
pretence of plotting with tlie cavaliers against Oliver the
protector, he was imprison'd in the Tower of London, in the
month of May l655. <>n the 31st of May 166O, his majesty
being then restored, he was made attorney-general, and
about that time chief justice of Chester and a knight, and on
the 7th of June following he was created a baronet. He
hath collected and written Reports bearing this title, Les

officer of arms extraordinary called Bliinch Lyon, created
officer in ordinary called Rouge Dragon, the 19th of Nov.

Somerset : In which capacity he was employed by his
majesty to make a presentation of the most noble order of
the Itarter to his highness Charles Lodowick prince elector,
in the army at Bockstell or Bockstall in Brabant. In the
beginning of the presbyterian rebellion in l642; he wtis one
of those loyal heralds who followed his majesty, was with
him at Oxon, but took up his quarters two miles distant
thence, at a place ciilled Chawley in the parish of Comnore :
where being seized on by certain parliament soldiers of the
garrison of Abingdon, was ctinveyed thence a prisoner to
London, in 1644 or thereabouts. But being soon after set
at liberty, he spent the short remainder of his days in
London in great obscurity. At length yielding to nature, I
cannot say in want, was buried within the precincts of St.'

Aug Sir John Borough knt. Garter principal king

of arms — His grace did then pass in a convocation to be

appears not (as several creations do not) in the public ^
register. This person, who was the son of a Dutch man, a
brewer by trade, living in Sandwich in Kent, as 1 have been
informed at the Office of Anns, was educated a scholar, and
afterwards in the com. law in Grays inn, but his geny
inclining him ninch to the study of antiquity, he obtained
the office of keeper of the records in the Tower of London,
whereby his searches he laid the foundation of certain books.

cause, (as he in some pait had done before for the sake of
the most noble Thomas earl of Strafford) was with him in
exile, and died some years before his restoration. You may

Nov. 18. Thom. Bird a captain in the king's army, and

with more than ordinary ceremony This wortiiy person,

who was the son of Rich. Lane of Courtenhall in North-

cent of Harpole in the said county, vvas educated from his
youth in the study of the com. law in the iMiddle Temple,
where he made great proficiency beyond his contemporaries,
was called to the bar, and became a counsellor of note. In
the 5th of Char. I. he was elected Lent reader of his inn, but
did not read because of the pestilence ; and when the long
parliament began, he was so much esteemed for his great
knowledge in the law, that the most noble Thomas earl of
Strafford made use of him to manage his cause when he was
tried for high treason in the latter end of l640. Soon after
he was made attorney to prince Charles ; at which time
seeing what strange courses the members of parliament
took, when the king had given them leave to sit, he entrusted
his intimate friend ' Bulstrode VVhitlock, a counsellor of the

Middle Temple, with his chamber there, all his goods
tlierein, and an excellent library; and forthwith leaving
Lomlon, he retired to the king at Oxon, where in 1643 he
was made Serjeant at law, lord chief baron of the exchequer,
a knight on the 4th of Jan. the same year, and about the
same time one of his majesty's most honourable ])rivy-
council. In the latter end of the next year, he was nomi-
nated one of the commissioners by his majesty to treat of
peace with those of the jiarliament at Uxbridge, and on the
30th of Aug. 1645 he had the great seal delivered to him at
Oxon, on the death of Edward lord Littleton. In May and
June 1646 he was one of the prime commissioners to treac
with those appointed by parliament for the surrender of the
garrison of Oxon, and soon after conveyed himself beyond
the sea to avoid the barliarities of the parliament. In his
absence his son was conducted to the said B. Whitlock, then
in his greatness, to the end thtit the said goods of his father,
then in his possession, might be delivered to him for the use
of his said father, who then wanted them ; but Whitlock
would not ' own that he ever knew such a man as sir
Richard, and therefore he kept what he had of his, to the
great loss of him the said sir Richard, who died, as a certain"
author tells us, in the isle of Jersey before the month of
Aug. 1650, but f.ilse, as I presume, because that on the 22d
of Apr. 1651, a ' commission issued forth from the prero-
gative court to the lady Margaret his relict, • to administer
the goods, chattels and debts of him the said sir Richard,
late of Kingsthorp in Northamptonshire, who died in the
kingdom of France.' This sir Rich. Lane, who was an
eminent ])rofessor of the law, hath written Reports in the
Court of Exchequer, beginning in the third, and ending in the
ninth of K. James L Lond. 1 657. fol. On the 29th of Jan.
16j7> the great seal was delivered by his miijesty at Bruges
in Flanders to sir Edw. Hyde knight.

Sir John Glanvill knt. Serjeant at law, was created the
same day (Jan. 31.) and admitted in the liouse of congre-
gation and convocation, as sir Rich. Lane was. This sir

John was a younger s<m of John Glanvill of Tavistock in
Devonshire, one of the justices of the Common Bench, (who
died 27 July l6'00) and he the third son of another John of
the same place, where and in that county their name was
genteel and ancient. AVhcn he was young, he was educated
in this liniversity, but was (as his father before him) bred an
attorney, and afterwards studied the common law in Lincolns
inn, and, with the help of his father's notes, became a great
proficient. When he was a counsellor of sotne years stand-
ing, he was elected recorder of Plymouth, and burgess for
that place to serve in several parliaments. In the 5th of
Char. I. he was Lent reader of his inn, and on the 20th of
May iSit), was made Serjeant at law, at which time having
engaged himself to be a better servant to the king than
formerly, (for in several parliaments he had been an enemy
to the prerogative) he was in the year following elected
speaker for thiit parliament which began at \^'estm. cm the
13th of April, in which he shew'd himself active to promote
the king's desires. On the 6th of July the same year, he
was m.ade one of the king's Serjeants (being then esteemed
an excellent orator, a great lawyer, and an ornament to his
profession) and on the /th of Aug. l64l he received the
honour of knighthood from his majesty at Whitehall. After-

wards when the king was forced to leave the parliament, he
followed him to Oxon, and was very serviceable to liim in
many respects. In 1645 lie was disiniibled from being a
member of parliament, sitting at Westminster, for his delin-
quency, as 'twas then called : So that retiring to his home
after the king's cause declined, he was committed to prison,
where continuing till he had made his composition, was
released in 1648.* Under his name are these things extant,
(1) Enlargements and Aggravations upon the sixth, seventh
and eighth Articles against George Duke of Buckingham, An.

After the return of his m.ajesty king Charles II. he was made
Serjeant also, and dying on the second day of Octob. 1661,
was buried in the church at Broad Hinton in Wiltshire, the
manor of which he some years before had bought. In Sept.
1673, WinifVid his widow put a monument over his grave,
with an inscription thereon, which for brevity's sake shall
be now oniitte;!. One .John Glanvill of Exeter coll. took
the degree of batch, of arts in 1622, and afterwards that of
master, but he is not to be understood to be the same with
sir John, because he was never bred in any university, as his
son hath informed me. The said sir John Glanvill had an
elder brother called sir Francis, an inhabitant of Tavistock ;
who, when young, being very vicious, was disinherited by
his father, and the estate setled on sir John : But sir Francis
becoming afterwards a sober man, sir John restored to him
the estate.* See in The Life and Death of Sir Matthew

Hale, &c. Written by Gilb. Burnet D. D. Lond. 1682,

Feb. 12. Sir Richard Vivian knight He had been

elected a burgess for Tregony in Cornwall to serve in that
parliament, which began at Westm. 3 Nov. 1640, but
leaving it in l642, he retired to Oxon, and sate in the pari,
there, an. l6'43.

Sir Peter B.^ll of the Middle Temple knight, son and
heir of Giles Ball of Mamhed in Devon, was created the

suEFerer. After his majesty's return, he was restored to what

he had lost, became recorder of Exeter again, after that

place had been occupied by two Cromwellians named Edm.

Prideaux, and Tho. Bampfield. At length the infirmities of

age coming upon him, he surrendred that office in 1676.

The first of these two, who was of Erecarrell in Cornwall,
was parliament man for Lanceston in that county, and
afterwards sate at Oxon, suffered for the king's cause, and
dying in 16S0, or thereabouts, was buried in the church at
South Petherwyn. The other was a parliament man for
Cameilford in the said county, and afterwards sate at Oxon,
for which also he suffered in his estate.

This year was, among others, nominated to be created
doctor of the civil law,one colonel Bard, but whether he

was admitted I cannot tell 1 take this person to be the

same with Henry Bard son of George Bard, vicar of Stanes
in Middlesex, who after he had been educated in grammar
learning in Eaton coll. school, was admitted in King's coll.
in Cambridge, an. l63l. Whilst he was scholar, he made
an excursion to Paris, upon the customary leave of absence
(which is but for () weeks in a year) without the college or
his relation's privity. After he was made fellow, he tra-
velled for some years into France, Germany, Italy, Turkey,
Palestine, Egypt, Arabia, and sent a large account of hi.?
several travels to his contemporary Dr. Charles Mason.
After his return he lived high, as he had done before, without
any visible income, and gave a fair Alcoran to King's coll.
library, supposed to be stolen by him Out of a Mosque in
Egypt ; which being valued but at 20/. he made answer
that • he was sorry that he had ventur'd his neck for it.'
This person, who was a compact body of vanity and ambi-
tion, yet proper, robust and comely, did, upon the approach
of the grand rebellion, retire to his majesty king Charles I.
at York, where making himself known to be a traveller, and
master of several languages, especially of the French, which
the queen took notice of, he had a commission given him to
be a colonel, and afterwards to be governor of Camden-house
in Glocestershire, (which, when he quitted, he burnt) and
then for a time of Worcester. On the 22d of Nov. l643, he
received the honour of knighthood, and soon after being
made a baronet, his ambition was so great, that being not
content with that station, he, by his, and the endeavours of
others, was created baron of Brombry, and vicount Belle-
mont in Ireland, 8 Jidy 1645. Afterwards being taken'
prisoner in one of his majesty's unfortunate battles, he wrote
to the parliament and told them that he had taken up arms
neither for religion (for there were then so many that he
knew not which to be of) nor for that mouse-trap, the laws,
but to re-establish the king in his throne, and therefore
seeing that the time was not yet come, he desired leave that
they would discharge him, that he might relinquish the land,
which iictordingly was done. After the murder of king
Charles I. he was sent by his majesty king Charles II. then
in exile, ainbiissador to the emperor of Persia, upon hopes of
great assistance of money from that court, in consideration
of great services done to the Persian by the English ships at
Ormus : But so it was, that he being unhappily overtaken in
his travels in that country by a whirlwind, was choak'd by
the sands, giving thereby a period to his vain hopes of beiog

the grand master of Malta, having been a Roman Catholic
several years before he died. He left behind him a widow,
not so rich, but that she received relief upon her jietition
after his majesty's return, from King's coll. in Cambridge,
and two daughters who were of liis religion, one of which
was afterwards mistress to prince Rupert, as I have else-
[39] where told you. He had al.so a brother called Ma-ximilian
Dard a rich milliner in London, who was employed by the
long parliament to buy for them horses in the time of their
rebellion. This brother, as 'tis supposed, furnished him
with money in his travels and high living, being a great
admirer of his accomplishments, and as much despised by
him.

Doctors of Physic.

May 9. Sir Hekry St, George knight, garter principal
king of arms, was then actually created doctor of physic —
This person, who was the eldest son of sir Rich. St. George
Clarenceaux king of arms, was born of an ancient family at
Uatley St. George in Cambridgeshire, bred up to heraldry,
and by the endeavours of his father, became first of all
Rouge-Rose extraordinary in the office or coll. of arms,
commonly called theHerald's-Office, afterwards Blue-mantle,
and in the latter end of l6l5 Richmond, herald of arms.
In 1627, he was joint ambassador with the lord Spencer and
Peter Yonge gent, usher, and daily waiter to king Charles I.
" (one Peter Young became master of St. Cross's hospital
" near Winchester in the place of Dr. Arthur Lake, Jan.
" 16I6,") to invest the king of Sweden with the order of the
Garter, which being done, that king not only knighted him
and Pet. Yonge at Darsaw in Prussia, but gave them the
arms of the king of Sweden, to be used by them and their
posterity for ever, as an augmentation to tiieir own arms.
Afterwards he was Norroy king of arms, and at length
Garter, and dying in Brascn-nose coll. 5 Nov. \64A, was
buried in the north-west corner of the west isle joyning to
the north transcept of tlie cathedral of Ch. Church in Oxon,
leaving then issue behind him a son named Thomas, after-
wards a knight, Norroy, and now (1691) Garter principal
king of arms j Henry another son, afterwards Norroy, a
knight, and now (I691) Clarenceaux king of arms, and
lastly a third named Ricliard an esq; who became Ulster
king of amis of the realm of Ireland in the place of Will.
Roberts of Lincolus inn es<]; and doctor of the civil law of
Dublin, an. 166O; which place he surrendring in l683, was
succeeded therein l)y Athlone, pursevant or officer of arms,
named Rich. Carney, who before (while he was Athlone)
had received the honour of knighthood from the earl of
Arran, and is the first king of arms of that kingdom that
had that honour confer'd on liim. The said sir H. S. George
Garter king of arms, who died at Oxon, hath published
nothing, only made collections of several matters relating to
his profession, particularly A Catalogue of the Nobility of
England according to their Creations, as they ivere in 1628,
&c. MS. fol. It begins with George Villers duke of Buck-
ingham, and ends with sir Franc. Cottington, knt. and bart.
lord Cottington of Han worth. This Cat. is involved in
A netu Catalogue of Dukes, Marquesses, Earls, Viscounts,
Barons, &c. Lond. 1658. oct. collected and published by
Tho. Walkley.

May 9. Tho.m. Johnson, whom I have mention'd among
the created batchelors of phys. an. 1643, was actually created
*lso doct. of physic, in consideration of the large testimony

of his industry (before this year) published He was born

near Hull in Yorkshire, bred an apothecary in Loudon, and

afterwards lived and kept a shop on Snow-hill ; where by
his unwearied pains, advanced with good natural jiarts, he — ,

attained to be the best herbalist of his age in England.
His works as to his profession are, (1) Mcrcurius Botanicus
in duabus Partibus, &c. Lond. l634. oct. (2) Thermcv
Buthonicce. (3) His enlarging and amending Job. Gerard's
Herbal, or general History of Plants, Lond. l636. fol. (4)
His translation of Ambr. Parrey his Works of CItirurgery.
Lond. )634. fol. &c. This Dr. 'i'h. Johnson was now (1 643)
a lieutenant coll. in the garrison of Basing-house in Hamp-
shire, whence going with a party on the 14th of Sept. 1G44,
to succour certain of the forces belonging to that house which
went to the town of Basing to fetch provision thence, but
beaten back by the enemy (headed by that notorious rebel
col. Rich. Norton) he received a shot in his shoulder, whereby
contracting a feaver, he died in a fortnight after in the said
house : At which time his worth did justly challenge funeral
tears, being then no less eminent in the garrison for his
valour and conduct as a soldier, than famous through the
kingdom for his excellency as an herbalist and physician.

Nov. 18. Spencer Lucie a colonel in the king's army,
son of sir Tho. Lucie of Charlcot in Warwickshire knight.

Jan. 31. He.nry Nisbett, who had spent several years in
the study of physic in the university of Padua, was then
actually created doctor of that faculty by virtue of the

letters of the chancellor of this university He was a Scot

born, or at least of Scotch extract, but what lie hath extant
relating to his faculty I know not.

Feb. 27. Hes. Hanks His bare name only stands in

the reg. as created doctor of physic, and therefore I can say
no more of him.

Mar. 21. Will. Glanvill esq; He was burgess for

Cameilford in Cornwall to serve in the parliament began at
Westminster 3 Novemb. 1640, but leaving it, he retired to
Oxon, and sate in the parliament there.

Doctors of Divinity,

Apr. 12. Evan Owen batch, of div. of Jesus coll. in
Oxon, was then created D. of D.

May 29. JoH. Weeks preb. of Bristol, ° and Ijfitch. of div.

of Cambr. above 20 years standing." This doctor, a

jocular person, was now a preacher in Oxon, sometimes

either before the king or parliament, and sutfered much for [40]

the royal cause. Afterwards he was made dean of St. Burian

in Cornwal upon the promotion of Dr. Creighton to that of

Wells, and after his death the said deanery was annex'd to

the bishoprick of Exeter. " Tliere was one Dr. Weeks Q

" chaplain to Dr. Laud when lord bish. of London." ' '

June 15. Joseph Goulston batch, of div. of Cambridge
and preb. of Winchester, was created in congregation by
virtue of the king's letters, as Owen and Weeks were. In
his last will and test, proved 3 Apr. 1674, he is said to be
' Nuper decanus ecclesi.<e cath. S. Trinitatis Cicestrensis in
com. Sussex.'

June 16. Matthew Griffith priest, sometimes of
Brasen-n. coll. afterwards of Gloc. hall.

sometimes of Bal. coll. now, as it seems, of St. Edm. hall,
was actually created the same day. This person, who
was of the family of the Hydes of Wiltshire, became not
only preb. of Teynton Regis with Yalmeton in the said
church of Salisbury, but also chauntor thereof, in Nov. l660,
upon tlie promotion of Dr. Humph. Henchman to be
bishop thereof. He died about the beginning of Sept. 1666 ;
whereupon his prebendship of Teynton with Yalmeton, was
conferr'd on Gab. Thistlethwayt sometimes fellow of New
coll. on the 10th of the same month, and his chauntorship
on Dr. John South on the 24th.

John Allibond of Magd. coll. was created the same day,
Oct. 17. — This worthy doctor, who was a Buckinghamshire
man born,° and lately the chief master of the free-school
joyning to Magd. coll. was a most excellent Lat. poet and
philologist, and hath published, Rust tea Academies Oxoniensis
nuper rcformatce Descriptio : una cum Comiliis ibidem, l648
habitis. 'Tis a Latin poem, and was twice printed in l648.'
He died at Bradwell in Glocestershirc, (of which place he
was rector) an. 1658.

JoH. Hewit of Cambridge,^ was actually created also the

same day. This is the person who was minister of St.

Gregory's church near St. Paul's in London, and who suf-
fer'd death by the axe on Tower-hiU 8 June 1658, for
conspiring against the then power and authority.' He hath
extant several sermons, among which are Nine select Sermons
preached fit iSt. Gregory's. Lond. 1658, oct. as also A Speech
aud txvo Prayers on the Scaffold, when he was to be beheaded.
Lond. 1658, qu. and A Letter to Dr. George Wild, written
the day before his execution ; printed with his Speech and
Prayers.

Oct. 19. Rob. Hall of Exet. coll. — This worthy person,
who waa the eldest son of Dr. Joseph Hall bishop of Exeter,
was now canon residentiary and treasurer of the cath. ch.
there, suffered for his majesty's cause, lost all, but restored
upon his majesty's return. He was a learned man, a con-
stant preacher, very hospitable and pious. He died on the
39th of May 1667, aged 61 years, and was buried in the
north side of the choir of the said cath. ch. at Exeter.

Nov. 16. Walt. Hungerford of AU-s. coll. He was

afterwards preb. of Wells and rector of Buscot in Berks,
where dying 18 Nov. 1681, was buried in the church there.

Feb. 22. George Edgeley of Cambridge. In the

letters of the chancellor of the university, written in his
behalf and read in convocation, 1 find these things of him :
' He is prebend of Chichester and rector of Nuthurst, a

grave and ortliodox divine. He is a person that hath

exi>ressed his loyalty by his active services and passive suf-
ferings in these times of hostility for the defence of his
majesty's person, religion and the laws. — He is so deserving
this honour (D. of D.) that he is beyond all manner of
exception. — He is a senior of the university of Cambr." &c.

In the same congregation wherein Dr. Edgeley was
created, were letters from the chanc. read in behalf of Tho.
Edwards formerly of this university, now vicar of Keinton

was admitted it appears not.

On the 29th of Dec. also, were letters read in behalf of
JoH. Bury batch, of div. and can. resid. of Exeter, to be
created doctor of tlic said faculty ; who being then absent
in the king's service, was to have the said degree conferr'd
on him when he should desire it.

As for Joh. Boteler, several of both his names have
been writers ; and one Joh. Butler hath written against
Joh. Selden, as you may see in Joh. Selden under the year
1634. And as for Tho. B.iyly, I have made mention of him
in the second vol. col. 526, 527. But as for Isaac Barrow/
who as 'tis said, was also incorporated this year, he appears
not in the register as incorporated master of arts, or created
batch, of div. otherwise I should have made a chapter or
number of him among the bishops, as I have done of Pet.
Gunning among the writers, who was incorporated and
took a degree here.

^ Creations.

This year were no creations in arts, only of one in music :
the rest were in the three great faculties, and of them only
doctors.

Doctors of Music.

Mar. 10. John Wilson now the most noted musician of
England, ' omnibus titulis & honoribus academicis in pro-
fessione musicae par, & in theoria & praxi musicse luaxime
peritus' (as it is said in the public register of convocation)
was then presented and actually created doctor of music. —
This eminent person who was much admired by all that
understood that faculty, especially by his majesty king
Charles I. an exact judge therein, was born at Feversham in
Kent, and being naturally inclin'd in his youth to vocal and
instrumental music, became at man's estate so famous for it,
that he was first made a gent, of his maj. chappel, and
afterwards his servant in ordinary in that faculty. So that
ever after giving his m^esty constant attendance, had
oftentimes just opportunities to exercise his hand on the
lute (being the best at it in all England) before liim to his
great delight and wonder ; who, while he played, did usually
lean or lay his hand on his shoulder. After the surrender
of the garrison at Oxon, an. \646, he spent some years in
the family of sir Will. Wiilter of Sarsden in the parish of
Churchill in 0.xfor(lshire, who, with his lady, were great
lovers of music. At length, upon the desire of Mr. Tho.
Barlow of Qu. coll. (then lecturer at Churcliill) made to
his quondam pupil Dr. Joh. Owen vice-chancellor of this
university, he was constituted music professor thereof, an.
l6s6j which, with other helps from some royalists in these
parts (he having then a lodging in Bal. coll.) found a com-

ginning cf the re-

But above all

fortable subsistance. Upon the return of king Charles II.
to his dominions, he was restored to his places belonging to
his majesty, and was made one of the choir at Westminster :
all which he kept to his dying day. He hath published (I)
Psaherium CaroUnum. The Devotions of his sacred Majesty
in his Solitudes and Sufferings, rendred into Ferse, set for
three Voices, and an Organ or Theorbo. Printed about 1656,
in fol. (2) Chearful Airs or Ballads, frst cojiipused for one
single Voice, and since set for three Voices. Oxon, l6trO, qu.

Dialogues. Lond. l6"53, &c. fol. In which book are, besides
Dr. Wilson's labours, the compositions of several masters
of music, viz. of Dr. Charles Coleman, Henry and Will.
Lawes, Will. Webb, Nich. Laniere or Laneare an Italian,
one of the private music to king Charles I. and an excellent
painter, (who died after l648,*) Will. Smegergill alias
Csesar, Edward Coleman and Jeremy Savile.

things that our author Wilson hath published, is highly
valued by curious men, a manuscript of his framing, con-
taining compositions, partly to be play'd on the lute, but
' chiefly on a treble or bass, set to several odes in the first
book, and in others, of Horace, on some part of Ausonius,
Claudian, Petronius Arbiter's Fragment, Statins, &c. This
book, which is in folio, bound in Russia leather, with silver
clasps, he gave to the public library at Oxon before his ma-
jesty's restoration, but with this condition that no person
should peruse it till after his death. 'Tis in the archives of
the said library, num. 102, and hath several copies of verses
put before it, or in the beginning, made in prai.se of the
author and the book : one of the copies being made by that
excellent Latin poet Hen. Birkhead of All-s. coll. was
afterwards remitted into his book entit. Foemalia, &c.
Oxon, 1656, p. 122, 123. This Dr. Wilson, who was a
great humourist and a pretender to buflfoonry, died in his
house at the Horse Ferry within the liberty of Westminster,
on the 22d day of Febr. 1673, aged "8 years, ten months
and 17 days: whereupon his body was buried in the little
cloyster belonging to the abby church of St. Peter within
the said city of Westm. He did often use to say for the
honour of his country of Kent, that .Alphonso Farabosco
was born of Italian parents at Greenwich, and Joh. Jenkyns
at Maidston ; both highly valued and admired not only in
England but beyond the seas for their excellent compositions
in music, especially for fancies. The last was living )0

honour of knighthood, being about that time deputy-
governour of the garrison of Oxon ; but afterwards being
taken by the forces belonging to the parliament, he was
committed prisoner to Lambeth liouse, where he shortly
after expired. He had before obtained great fame for his

June 12. Henr. Bate. He was admitted and actually

created doctor of the civil law by virtue of the letters of the
chancellor of the university, and of those of the marquiss of
Newcastle, which say that ' he had jiaid his fees already by
the Large contribution he hath given to his majesty in his
service, and losses sustained by the rebels,' &c.

Jul. 10. Sir Robert Fenne knt.

Nov. 4. Rob. Cary M. A. lately of C. C. coll. in this

university. He was kinsman to the marquiss of Hertford

chancellor thereof.

This year was actually created doct. of the civ. law sir
James Ware of Ireland knt. as his son hath by his letters
informed me, but the day or month he cannot tell : neither
doth it appear in the acts of the public register, in this, or
in the year following, because omitted, as it seems, among
many that were actually created in several degrees from the

1st of Nov, 1642 till the surrender of Oxon, 1646. This

worthy person sir Jam. Ware, who, by his pen, hath done
admirable service for the credit of the Irish nation, I desire
the reader by the way (if not too tedious) to take these
observations of him following. He was born in Castle-
street witliin the city of Dublin, about two of the clock in
the morn, of the 26th of Nov. an, 1594. His father was sir
James Ware knt. sometimes secretary to two of the lords
justices or deputies of Ireland, and afterwards auditor
general of that kingdom ; who finding his said son to make
early advances towards learning, spared neither cost or
labour to encourage him therein. At 16 years of age he
caused him to be entred a student in Trin. coll. at Dublin,
where making great proficiency in his studies, was in less
than six years made master of arts. In 1629, or tliereabouts,
he received the honour of knighthood from Adam lord
viscount Ely and Rich. Boyle earl of Cork, they both being
at that time lords justices of Ireland, and in 1632 he became,
upon the death of his father, auditor general of Ireland :
notwithstanding which place of trouble, as well as of profit,
and the cumbrances of marriage, he wrote and j)ublished
several books, the titles of which I shall anon set down. In
1639 he was made one of the king's privy council in Ire-
land, and when tlie rebellion broke out there, he sulfered
much in his estate. In l644, he with the lord Edward
Brabason (afterwards earl of Meath,) and sir Hen. Tich-
bourne knt. were sent by James marquiss of Orniond, then
lord lieuten.mt of Ireland, to king Charles I. at Oxon, about
the affairs of that kingdom. Which being concluded to
their minds, thoy returned; but in their way, they were
taken on the seas by a parliament ship, just after sir James
had flung over board the king's packet of letters directed to
Ormond : whereupon being all conveyed to London, were
committed prisoners to the Tower, where continuing eleven
months, were then released upon exchange. Afterwards sir
James returned to Dublin^ continued there for some time.

and was one of the hostages for the delivery of that city to
col. Mich. .Tones for the use of the parliament of England.
Afterwards the said colonel, thinking it not convenient, for
several reasons, that he should remain there, commanded
him to depart ; so that by virtue of his pass he went into
France, where he continued an year and an half, mostly at
Caen and partly at Paris. In 1651 he left that country,
went into England, and setting in London, wrote several
books, and published one or more there. Upon the restora-
tion of king Charles 11. he went into Ireland, and by
special order was restored to his place of auditor general
and continued a privy counsellor there. His works' are
these (1) Archicpiscoporum Cnssiliensium Sf Tuamennum Vitte,

Tuesday following in a burying place appointed for his
family within the church of St. Warborough in the said
city. He had a choice collection of antient MSS, (many of
which related to Irish affairs) procured from many persons
as well in Engl, and Irel, a Catalogue of which was printed
at Dublin, an, 1648, in 3 sh. and an half in qu.* All or

This year also, about the beginning' thereof, as it seems,
was a proposal made by virtue of a letter sent to the vice-
chancellor, that Rich. Fanshaw esq. servant to prince
Charles, should have the degree of doctor of the civil law
conferr'd upon hiu» ; but whether he was presented there-
unto, tho' diplomatcd he might be, it api)ears not in the
public register. Howsoever it is, sure 1 am that certain
masters now living in the university, did many years after
report that he had that degree conferr'd on him here, yet
whether ]>ersonaIly presented thereunto, they could not

positively affirm. This right wortliy and loyal person

Richard Fanshaw (originally of the university of Cambr.')
was descended of the family of Fanshaw of Fansliawg.ate
in Derbysliire, being the * great grandchild of John Fanshaw
of that place, brother of Henry Fanshaw, and father of Tho.
Fanshaw escjuires, who were successively remembrancers of
the Exchequer to qu. Elizabeth : which Thomas was fallier
to sir Hen. Fanshaw knt. (who died of an apoplexy at the
assizes in Hertford 10 Mar. lGl5.) father of Thomas some-
times lord viscount Fanshaw of Dromore in Ireland, father
of him who is now, or at least was lately, lord viscount Fan-
shaw : which three last have also been remembrancers of
the Exchequer to king James 1. king Charles I. and l\.
The said Rich. Fanshaw (brother to lord Thomas) of whom
we are farther to speak, was, for his early abilities, taken
into the employment of the state by king Charles I. an.
1635, and then sent resident to the court of Spain : whence
being recall'd in the beginning of the troubles (i64t) into
Engl, he followed the royal interest during all the cala-
mitous time that followed, and was employed in several
[44J weighty matters of state. In J6-J4 he was appointed
secretary at war to Charles prince of Wales (afterwards
king) whom he attended into the western parts of Engl, and
thence into the isles of Scilly' and Guernsey. In l648 he
was appointed treasurer of the navy under the command of
prince Rupert, which he managed till the year l650, when
then he was preferred by his majesty to the dignity of a
baronet, and sent envoy extraordinary to the crown of Spain ;
and being thence recalled into Scotland, he there served in
the quality of secretary of state : which weighty and diffi-
ctilt employment he performed in that conjuncture with
great satisfaction of all parties, notwithstanding he never
took covenant or engagement. Thence he attended his
majesty at Worcester, was at the battel there (I60I) taken
prisoner, and conveyed to Lond. by the rebels ; where con-
tinuing in close custody till he contracted a great sickness,
had liberty allow'd him, upon bail given, for the recovery
of his health to go to any place he should choose, provided
he stirred not five miles from the place without leave from
the parliament. During which time and otlier vacant
hours, he made several translations and wrote divers poems,
as I shall tell you by and by. In February 1059 he repaired
to his majesty king Charles 11. at Breda, who there knigiited
him in April 166O, and made him his secretary of the Latin
tongue (in which he did excell) and master of the Requests.
In I661 he being then burgess for the imiversity of Cam-
bridge, he was sworn one of the privy council of Ireland, and
sent envoy to the crown of Portugal, with a dormant com -
mission to the ambassador, which he was to make use of as
occasion should recjuire. In 16G2 he was again sent to that
crown with the title of ambassador; and at his return
thence in l663 he was sworn one of his majesty's privy

council and took his place accordingly.^ and in January the
same year he was sent ambassador ' to both the crowns of
Spain and Portugal: in which time the foundation of peace
betwLxt tliose crowns and England was laid by liim. His
deportment during his former employments in those courts
won him such high value and estimation with tiie princes,
that his reception was most splendid and magnificent,
exceeding all that were before : which those kings declared
was done as a particular respect to the person of the ambas-
sador, and was not to be a precedent for succeeding ambas-
sadors. He hath written (1) Divers Poems. Lond. l664,
oct. Printed with his translation of // pastor Jido. The first
of the said poems is An Ode upon Occasion uf his Majesty's
Proclamation, An. l630, commanding the Gentry to reside
upon t/ieir Estates in the Country. (2) A summary Discourse
oft/ie Civil Wars of Rome. Lond. 1664, oct. extracted out of
tlie best Lat. writers in prose and verse. He hath translated
from English into Lat. verse The faithful Shepherdess: a
Pastoral. Lond. 1658, written originally by Job. Fletcher
gent, and from Latin into English, (1) The fourth Book of
Virgil's jEneis on the Loves of Dido and .Uneas, Lond. l664,
oct. (2) 3'tro Odes out of Horace relating to the Civil Wars
of Rome acruinst covetous rich Men. Ibid. 16 j4, oct. He hath
translated from Italian into Englisli, — II Pastor fido : The

Written originally by Guarini, a native of Ferrara in Italy :
and from Spanisli into English an historical poem called —
Qiierer per solo tjuercr : To love only for Love's Sake. Lond.
1671, qu. 'Tis a dramatic romance, was originally written
by Anton, de Mendoza, translated and paraphrased by our
author at Tankerley park in Yorkshire, 1654, when tlien he
had obtained leave from the superior power to range beyond
6 miles within London. To this is joyned another trans-
lation by the same hand entit. — Fiestas de Aranjuez. Festivals
represented at Aranjucz. He also translated from Por- /'^
tuguese into English, The Luciad: or Portugal's Historical Ki
Poem. Lond. 1655, 56, &c. fol. Written originally by
Lewis de Camoens. Besides these translations, he hath
performed others as I have been informed, which continue
partly in MS, and hath written other poems as well Lat. as
English, which for brevity's sake I shall now pass by the
mentioning. At length this worthy person being overtaken
with a violent fever at Madrid in Spain on the fourth of
June 1()66, during the time of his being there ambassador,
died thereof on the 16th of the same month old stile) aged
59 years : whereupon his body being embalmed, was (after
his funeral had been solemnized there, 25 of the said
month ') conveyed by his disconsolate lady, with all his
children then living, by land thro' France to Calais, whence
it was transported to England, and landed near Tower-hill
at London. Thence it was removed to Lincolns Inn Fields,
to the Pine Apples, which was then his lady's hired house.

Doctors of Physic,

May 1. Sir Arth. Aston knt. serjeant major-gen. of the

king's horse forces, governour of the garrison of Oxford,

[45] vvas created doctor of phys. with great solemnity, and

admitted by the vicechancellor with this clause, ' Honoratiss.

domine, tu dabis (idem ad observand. statuta, libertates &

consuetudines hujus universitatis.' This person, (" who

" was son of sir Arthur Aston of Fulham in Middlesex, and
" he the 2d son of sir Tho. Aston of Aston in Bucklow
" hund. in Chesh." who was of an ancient and knightly
family in that country,) was a great traveller, had spent
most of his time in wars in several countries beyond the
seas : whence coming in the beginning of the grand rebellion
[commenced bi/ the piesbi/tenan.-;^'\ into Engl, with as many
soldiers of note as he could bring with him, jovned himself
and them to his majesty's forces, commantled the dragoons
at EdghiU fight, and with them did excellent service.
Afterwards, his majesty having a great opinion of his valour
and conduct, made him governour of the garrison of Read-
ing in Berksliire, where he beat the earl of Essex, general of
the pari, forces, thrice from that place, till having received
a dangerous wound he was forced, as tis said, to devolve
his command upon col. Rich. Feilding. called lord Feilding,
of the family of those of his name at Newenliam Padox in
Warwicksliire, who afterwards surrendring that garrison to
the use of the parliament upon quick and easy terms, suf-
fered much in liis reputation for so doing, yet recovered it
afterwards in the Ijattels at Newbury and Naseby. As for
Aston, who was lately made governour of the garrison of
Oxforil, and afterwards expressed himself very cruel and
imperious while he executed that office, he broke his leg by
a fall from his horse on BuUington green near Oxon on the
19th of Sept. this year, and on the 25th of Dec. following
being discharg'd of his office, to the great rejoycing of the
soldiers and others in Oxon, colonel Will. Legge was placed
in his room, and in his sir Tho. Glemham 8 Oct. 1645, who
kept the said garrison till it was surrender'd to the parlia-
ment. Sir A. Aston had, at that time, his broken leg cut
off to save his life, and in its place had one of wood put : So
that being recovered and in a posture to do his majesty
farther service, he went with the flower of the English
veterans into Ireland, where he becsffne governour of Drog-
heda commonly called Tredagh, about which time he laid an
excellent plot to tire and break the English army. But at
length the said garrison being overpower'd and soon after
taken by Ol. Cromwell and his forces, about the 10th of
September l64y, all tiie defendants were put to the sword,
and Aston the governour (a zealous R. Catholic) was hewen
in pieces, and his brains beat out of his head with his wooden
leg. He then left behind him a daughter named Elizabeth
Thompson alias Aston.

Several persons, who were lately forced to leave the

these following.

who had, as it seems, succeeded Dr. Hen. Caesar in the said
deanery, an. l636, was about the middle of March this year
(1645) made dean of Durham on the deatli of Dr. Christop.
Potter, and without doubt would have risen higher had it
not been for the iniquity of the times." He was the son of
Andrew Fuller of Hadlcigh in !>uffolk, at whicli place he was
born, was educated in all kind of learning in Cambridge,
and afterwards became famous for it, his prudence and piety.

in Oxon this year, to his great approbation. In the begins
ning of the rebellion,' 1642, he was setjuestred from his
church of St. Giles near Cripplegate, Londpn, plunder'd,
imprison'd, and spoiled of all for his loyalty to his prince,
by the impetuous and restless presbylerians. After Oxford
was surrender'd, he retir'd to London, and lived there ob-
scurely till the time of his death, which happening on Holy-
Thursday (May 12^) 1659, aged 79 years, was denied rest in
his sometime church of St. Giles before-mention'd. Where-
upon his body being conveyed to St. Vedastus in Foster-lane,
was there buried at the upper end of the south isle. Soon
after was a comely monument put over his grave by his
daughter the wife of Dr. Brian Walton, and upon his ma-

Thom. Wilson D. of D. of the said university, was in-
corporated the same day. He was originally of Merton

coll. and was batch, of div. of this university an. 162], at
which time he was preb. of St. Paul's cath. ch. in London,
and had been sub-alnioner under bishop Mountague. In
1625, Jan. 10, he was installed preb. of Westminster in the
place of Dr. Hen. Ca;sar resigning; and about the same
time was D. of D. of Cambridge. In 1640 he occurs arch,
of Westminster ; ' but he is not to be taken to be the same
with Tho. Wilson beneficed at Stratford upon Avon in War-
wickshire, because he died in l638.'

Thom. Some or Soame D. D. was incorporated also the
same day. (Aug. 12.) as he before had stood at Cambridge.

He had been fellow of Peter house, was now canon of

Windsor,' preb. of St. Paul's in London, vicar of Stanes in
Middlesex, and, if I mistake not, rector of Haseley near to, [47-]

succeeded by Dr. Edw. Corbet of Mert. coll. This Dr. Some,

most worthy person, who Vmd been much favoured by Dr.
Laud archb. of Canterbury, anil by him promoted,' and
therefore esteemed an Anninian, and popishly affected by
the inveterate puritans, did .suffer much Ii» the beginning of
the rebellion raised by them ; us first, for his having a hand
in gathering and conveying the plate belonging to the uni-
versity of Camltr. to his majesty, he was violently hurried
thence prisoner to London, suffered great indignities from
the rabble in his way through that city to the Tower, where
continuing some years, was at length exchang'd. Secondly,
by being plunder'd and thrown out of his headship of St.
John's coll. before-mention'd, for the same reason, and for
denying their wicked covenant ; and lastly sequester'd fronj
all other his spiritualities. After his exchange, he fled to
Oxon, the common asylum of afflicted royalists, where he
exercised his function, sometimes before his majesty, and
at other times before the remnant pf the royal court there
remaining. After the king's cause declined, he went be-
yond the seas, where he died heart-broken in 1651, or
thereabouts.

David Stokes D. D. of the said univ. was incorporated

the same day. This most loyal doctor was educated in

the college school at Westminster, and thence elected into
Trin. coll. in the same university an. l6lO ; afterwards he
was fellow of Peter house,'* fellow of Eaton coll. canon of
Windsor, and rector of Binfield in Berks : * All which pre-
ferments he losing in the time of the rebellion, was put to
Ids shifts as other royalists were, retired to Oxon for refuge,
and there exercised his function for a time as others did.
After his majesty's return, he was restored to what he had
lost, lived several years in great quiet and repose with much
content to himself, and died the 10th of May 1669. He
hath written and published, (1) An Explication of the twelve

was also then incorporated. This most learned and loyal

doctor was born in Cleaveland in the North Riding of York-
shire, an. ItiOO, admitted first in Magd. coll. under Mr. JoU.
Gooch as a sizer or servitor, and thence removing to Peter
house under one Mr. lUake, 4 Dec. itiK), took the degree of
M. of A. as a member thereof, an. 1623." About that time,
or before, he taught school in Suffolk, and served as a curate
there. Thence he removed to London, and lived for a little
time under the rev. and learned divine Mr. lliclt. Stock
rector of AUhallows Bread-street in London. After his
death he became rector of St. Martin's Orgar in the said city,
and of Sandon in Essex, at both which places he was highly
valued by the orthodox party for his learning and religion.'
In 1639 he commenced D. of D. at which time he was preb.
of St. Paul's cathedral, chaplain to his majesty, and a person
of great esteem, especially for his skill in the common- laws
of tliis realm, so far, 1 mean, as they related to the patrimony
and liberties of the church,* as it appears by a little book
written ' by him in defence of the tithes within the city of
London, according to the proportion of two shillings and
nine pence the pound ' rent. Upon the breaking out of the
diabolical rebellion, he was assaulted by the faction, abused,
sequestred and forced to fly : AVhereupon retiring to Oxford,
he did there lay the ground of a most noble design, which
afterwards he did live to accomplish. For upon the de-
clining of his majesty's cause, he returned to London, and
residing with his father-in-law Dr. Will. Fuller, then a great
sufferer for the royal cause, as he was, he had time and
leisure at command, as being debar'd the exercising of his
ministerial function, (tho' often disturb'd for his loyalty) of
proceeding in the work, with the advice of the most learned
and religious Dr. Usher primate of Ireland, his said father-
in-law. Dr. Bruno Ryves, and some others residing in Lon-
don, yet not without the leave and license of Dr. Juxon bish.
of that city. I say that this most ■worthy person Dr. B.
Walton being most eminent for his learning, especially in
the holy Scriptures and Eastern languages, did undertake and
happily perfomi the i)ublishing of the Biblia Polyglolta,
printed at Lond. in six volumes in folio, an. 1657, wherein
the sacred text was, by his singular care and oversight,
printed, not only in the vulgar Latin, but also in the He-
brew, Syriac, Chaldee, Samaritan, Arabic, ^thiopic, Persic,
and Greek languages, each having its peculiar Latin trans-
lation joyned therewith ; and an Apparatus fitted for each,
for the better understanding of those tongues. In this great
work, tho' he met with infinite disturbances and discourage-
ments, by reason of the times, wherein the usurping powers,
ruled, and a multitude of other difficulties, yet he most hap-
pily accomplished it in about four years space : which, when
published, was by the generality of scholars esteemed the
most absolute and famous edition of the Bible that the

Christian world had, or fs like to enjoy. In this most noble
work, so far as concerned the correcting of it while at the
press, and in collating of exemplars, he bad the assistance of
several learned persons, of whom Edm. Castle or Castell *
batch, of div. was the chiefest, ' vir in quo eruditio suinma
magnaque animi modestia convenere,' &c. as he doth cha-
racterize him i yet if you'll believe that learned person, who
was afterwards doctor of div. Arabic professor of Cam-
bridge, and preb. of Canterbury,* he'll tell you in his preface
to his Lexicon Heptaglotton, printed in Lond. 1 669, that he
had more than an ordinary hand in that work, as indeed he
had, and therefore deserved more matter to be said of him
than is in the said pref. to Bib. Polyglot. The other persons
were Alex. Huish of Wadh. coll. Sam. Clarke (Clericus) of
Mert. coll. (of both whom I have spoken already) and Thom.
Hyde, since of Qu. coll. in this university. He hud also
some assistance from Dr. D. Stokes, Abr. Weelock," Herb.
Thorndyke,' Edw. Pocock^ Tho. Greaves, Dudly Loftus, &c.
men most learned in their time. Towards the printing also
of the said great and elaborate work, he had the contribution
of monies from many noble persons, and gentlemen of qua-
lity, which were put into the hands of sir Will. Humble
treasurer for the said work ; as Charles Lodowick prince
dector, William marq. of Hertford, Will, earl of Strafford,
Will, eari of Bedford, Will, lord Petre, Will, lord Maynard,
Arth. lord Capel, John Ashburnham of his maj. bedchamber,
sir Rob. Sherley bart. Will. Lenthall mast, of the rolls, Joh.
Selden of the Inner-Temple esq; Joh. Sadler of Line, inn
esq; Joh. Hele esq; Tho. Wendy esq; afterwards knt. of the
Bath, and others, as Mountague earl of Lindsey, lord chamb.
of England, George earl of Rutland, Mildmay earl of West-
morland, John earl of Exeter, Tho. lord Fairfax, Bapt. lord
Noel, vise. Cambden, sir Will. Courtney, sir Anth. Chester
and sir Will. Farmer baronets, sir Franc. Burdet knt. and
Joh. Wall D. D. canon of Ch. Ch. in Oxen. After his ma-
jesty's restoration the author Dr. Walton presented his said
six vol. of Bib. Polyg, to him, which being well received by
him, he not only made him his chaplain in ordinary, but for
his great virtues, learning, loyalty, sufferings, and indefatiga-
ble industry for the public benefit of learning, did advance
him to the see of Chester; to which being consecrated in
the abbey church of St. Peter in Westminster on the second
day of December an. 1660, sat there (tho' a little while) to
the time of his death. In Sept. 166] he, with a good re-
tinue, went to take possession of his see, and when he came
to Litchfield, many persons of very good worth, who had
ridden from Chester to that city, which is 50 miles, did meet
and congratulate him there, and very many others in his way
to Chester. On the tenth day of the said month all the
gentry almost of the whole county of Chester, and the militia
both of the country and city, went out to meet him, and the
day following the spiritual militia (the true sons of the
church of England) went to their reverend diocesan upon
the road. All which, eind others, having brought him to

blessing God for so happy a sight, he forthwith put on his
episcopal robes, and hasted to the performance of his devo-
tions in the choir. When he enter'd the body of the cathe-
dral church. Dr. Hen. Bridgman the dean, and all the mem-
bers of the cathedral, habited in their albes, received a
blessing from his lordship, sung Te Deum, and so compass-
ing the choir in manner of procession, conveyed him to his
chair : This was on the eleventh of the said month of Sept.
a day not to be forgotten by all the true sons of the church
of England, tho' curs'd then in private, by the most rascally
faction and crop-ear'd whelps of those parts, who did their
endeavours to make it a mayganie and a piece of foppery.
After his lordship had made some continuance there, and
was highly caress'd and entertained by noble and generous
spirits, he return'd to London, fell sick, and died in his house
in Aldersgate-street, on the 29th of Nov. an. l6til, to the
great reluctancy of all learned and loyal persons. On the
5th of Dec. following he was buried in the south side of the
cathedral church of St. Paul, (of which he was prebend)
opposite to the monument of sir Christopher Hatton 'some-
time lord chancellor of England, being then attended to his
grave by three heralds of arms in their formalities.* Soon

ignorant) this was he, that with the first brought succour
and assistance to the true church, sick and fainting under
the sad pressure of persecution. This was he, that fairly
wiped off those foul and contumelious aspersions cast upon
her pure and spotless innocence by those illiterate and clergy
trampling schismatics. This was he, that brought more
light and lustre to the reformed church here establish'd ; [49]

preb. of St, Paul's church London, was lastly bishop of Chester, and depart-
ing this mortal life in Aldersgate-street in the city of London, upon the 29th
day of November in the year of our Lord 1661, on the 5th day of December
following was solemnly interred in the south isle of the said church of St.
Paul's, opposite to the lord chancellor Hatton ^s monument. The proceedings
to whose funeral (at which were the earles of Derby and Bridgwater, with
diverse more of the nobility, as also the greatest number of bishops in their
rochets, deans and prebends of many cathedral churches, with a multitude
of the most learned clergymen of England) from Sadlers hall in Clheapside
was marshai'd and directed by George Owen esq. York herald, Elias Asb-
raole esq. Windsor herald, and Henry St. George esq. Richmond heraud, and
the funeral otiice performed by the bishop of London. This worthy bishop
being a person most eminent for his learning, especially in the H. Scriptures
and Eastern languages, did undertake and happily perform the publishing oi
the BiBLiA PoLYGLOTTA printed at London in 6 volumes in the year 1657.
Wherein the sacred te-it was by his singular care and oversight printed not

standing of those tongues an apparatus fitted to each. And though he
met with infinite disturbances and discouragements by reason of the limes
wherein those usurping powers ruled, and a multitude of other difficulties, he
most happily accomplisht that great work in 4 years space. He took to wife

daughter to Dr. William Fuller dean of Ely, and Ictt issue by her only

one son. He was a man very well skilled in the common lawes of tlie realme,

whilst, maugre the malice of those hellish machinators, he,
with more earnest zeal and indefatigable labour than any,
carried on, and promoted the printing of that great Bible in
so many languages. So that the Old and Nciv Testament
may well be his monument, which he erected with no
small expence of his own. Therefore he little needs the
pageantry of pompous titles emblazoned, or displayed in
herald's books, whose name is written in the book of life.

for his own security, retired at length to Oxon, where for a

years after in a quiet repose.*

This person, who had been much favoured by Dr. Laud
archb. of Cant, and therefore esteemed by the puritans an
Arminian, popishly affected and 1 know not what, was, in
the beginning of the rebellion raised by them, sequestred of
his rectory, plundered, his wife and children turned out of
doors and he himself forced to fly : whereupon retiring to
Oxon, the common mother and refuge in those times of
afflicted royalists, he was, in consideration of his sufferings
and loyalty, promoted by his majesty to the deanery of Glo-
cester, (upon the nomination of Dr. Frewen to the see of

art, bring hither thine eyes, and understanding also, in-
tuitively both to look and lament. For within this marble
wardrobe are folded up ti»e thin worn weeds of tl>e valuable,
substantial, and well accoutred soul of John Barwick doctor
of divinity, to whom Westmorland may well boast to have
given first breath and being : ne.\t Caiiibr. may boast to
have given him his first admission, and St. Joh. coll. there
a fellowship in that foundation. From which fellowship
(which still makes more for his honour) he was unjustly
ejected by a pack of parricides ; who notwithstanding, re-
gardless of the rage of tliose bloody times, or his own blood-
spitting malady equally pernicious [and at length more cer-
tain alas ! to destroy him '] boldly attempted, and success-
fully managed matters of the greatest difficulty and danger,
in the behalf of the king and church : and for that cause
was shut up in a dire and loathsom prison, where he suffered
inhuman and barbarous usage, yet with a constant and un-
daunted spirit. And in the end, he saw by the miracle, as it
were of a new creation, the revival of botli crown and mitre,
himself playing the man-midwive's part, and vigorously as-
sisting at the new birth of both. Last of all, for his active
services and passive sufferings, he was dignified with the
deanery of Durham, which he held a few months, and after-
wards of St. Paul's, which he enjoyed three years, tho" either
of them too short a season ; yet discharged both with sin-
gular care and fidelity; living and dying a batchelor, and
strictly chast, and sanctimonious both in soul and body.
And being much debilitated by a long and lingring consump-
tion, here he rests in the Lord, and deposits his last remains
among these ruinous ones of St. Paul's church, being con-
fident of the resurrection both of the one and other. He
died in the 53d year of his age, and of our Lord 1664.
Reader, if thou desirest to know more of this reverend
church-man, go home and learn, by the conspicuous copy of
his sincere devotion what it is to be a true Christian indeed.'

highly valued for his great valour, " invincible spirit," and
prudent conduct in martial affairs. Tliis person, I take to
be the same with the most magnanimous sir George L'isle,
who was afterwards deeply engaged in that as honourable
as unfortunate expedition of Kent, Essex and Colchester, an.
l64S, in which last pliice he with the forces under him for
his majesty, being besieged by Fairfax the parliament ge-
neral and those under his conduct, he was (.after the sur-
render thereof) shot to death in cold blood with the most
renowned sir Charles Lucas, on the 28th of Aug. the same [5|]
year : at which time tliey being both obscurely buried, their
funeral was afterwards, viz. on June the 7th an. ]66l, with
great solemnity celebrated at Colchester by the loyal inhabit-
ants thereof and gentry adjoyning : the particulars being too
many for this place, must for brevity's sake be now omitted,

Apr. 22. Colonel Will. Leigiiton, who h.ith this cha-
racter given of him in the public register, fide & fortitudine
pro principe h pro patria insignis, was actually created with
due solemnity on that day, in convocation. He was de-
scended from, or at least near of kin to, sir Will. Leighton

Nov. 28. Sir Thomas Glemham kt. sometimes a gent,
com. of Trin. coll. in this university, now governour of the
garrison of Oxford,' was actually created in the house of
convocation with very great solemnity: at which time the
vice-chancellor spoke a short and pithy speech to the as-
sembly before he was presented, shewing to them tiie holi-
ness of his life and conversation, the invincibleness of him
and his party at York and Carlisle, of -which cities he was
successively governour, and tlio' brought to famine and
pestilence, yet yielded neither, but upon honourable condi-
tions, &c. This right valiant and prudent commander was
the son of sir Hen. Glemham of Little Glemham in Suffolk
knt. by Anne his wife eldest daughter of sir Thomas Sack-
vile kniglit, earl of Dorset ; and after he had thrown off his
gown, betook himself to the CJerman wars, then the great
nursery for English gentlemen, where gaining much ex-
perience, was made fit for the service in the wars at home.
In 1639 he was a lieutenant col. in the regiment of the earl
of Arundell in the Scotch expedition then undertaken, as
also in the ne.xt, if I am not mistaken, that was took in the
year following. Afterwards taking part with his majesty
ag.ainst his rebellious subjects in England, did him admirable
service in the garrisons before-mention'd and was highly
venerated by all military men. When he died, I cannot
justly say; sure I am, that by his last will and test, dated 22
Jan. 1647, and proved 13 Mar. l649, he appointed his
younger brother Dr. Hen. Glemham his executor, who caused
his body to be buried at Little Glemham before-mention'd,
as I have been informed by some of his relations.

Doctors of Physic,

May 6. Adrian Metcalfe batch, of phys. was then

created (loct. of that faculty. In l642, Nov. 1. he was

actually created M. of A. and perhaps is the same (but mis-
taken by the registrary) with Franc. Metcalf created batch,
of phys. an. l643, as before 'tis told you.

Aug. 12. The most noble Seymour was then actually

created, and admitted to give his suffrage in the house of

congregation and convocation. Whether this person be

the same with Henry lord Seymour, who was created M. of
A. an. 1()42, as I have before told you, 1 know not; nor yet
to the contrary, but that he may be Robert Seymour another
son of William marquess of Hertford, who became a noble-
man of Christ Church an. 1635, aged eleven years.^

Oct. 30. Edward Buckoake batch, of phys. created doc-
tor by virtue of the chancellor's letters, which say that his
majesty hath thought him worthy to serve his liighness
prince Charles in the place of physician, and therefore that
he might be the more capable of that honour, he desires that
the convocation would confer on him the honour of doctor of

physic, &c. He was afterwards a physician of some note

in Yorkshire,

Doctors of Divinity.

July 10. Edward Aylmer or Elmer M. A. of Qu. coU.
in Cambridge was created D. D. by virtue of the letters from

the chancellor of the university and prince Rupert. This

person, who was grandson to John Aylmer or Elmer some-
times bishop of London, being forced from liis station ^ by
the barbarities of the presbyteriaiis, took refuge in Oxon,
and under the said prince. He had a kinsman named Joh.
Aylmer rector of Bletneso and Melchbourne in Bedfordshire
before tlie civil wars broke out, who was son of Tobell, the
fifth son of the said bisiiop Aylmer.

Dec. 17. Philip King was then actually created D. of D.

This |jers<in, who was a younger son of Dr. John King

sometimes bisiiop of London, was originally a student of Ch.
Ch. afterwards orator of the university, rector of St. Bo-
tolph's church near Billingsgate in London, prebend of St.
Paul's cathedral church,** and archdeacon of Lewes : but
being sequestred of St. Botolph's and forced to fly by the
faction, he took sanctuary at Oxon, lived afterwards in a re-
tired condition till his majesty's return ; at which time being
restored to what he had lost lived for some time in a quiet
and sedate repose. At length paying his last debt to nature
on the /Jth of March 1666, was buried at Langley in Bucks,
where he had a sister married to sir Rich. Hobart. Besides
this Phil. King I find another of Cambr. who was incor-
porated M. of A. of this university 23 March l6l4, a second
born in Oxfordshire, who became auditor of Ch. Ch. in lt)08
or thereabouts aged 35, and a third born in Nottinghamshire
and the son of " Tho. King" a minister, who being entred
into Ch. Ch. in l624, took one degree in arts four years
after. I find also another, perhaps one of the two next
before going, who dying at Bath, was buried in the great

Masters of Arts,

July 1. Thankful or Gracious Owen cf Line. coU.

This person, who was the son of Philip Owen, was bom at
Taplow in Buckinghamshire, became a sojourner of Exet.
coll. under a puritanical tutor, in the year 1635, aged 16
years, elected fellow of Line. coll. in the beginning of Aug.
1642, he being then batch, of arts, but soon .after left the
univ. and so consequently did not bear arms for his majesty,
as other scholars did, within the garrison of Oxon. Upon
the surrender of the said garrison for the use of the parlia-
ment he returned to his coll. took the degree of master, as
'tis before told you, submitted to the visitors appointed by
tlie said parliament, being then esteemed a presbyterian.
But the independents at that time carrying all before thein,
he became one of their number, a preacher in their private
congregations, proctor of the university in 1650, and the
same year, upon Cheynell's marching off, president of St.
Joh. coll. and a noted politician for carrying on the then
cause. In the latter end of l653 he was appointed by Oliver
one of the commissioners for the approbation of public
preachers, and in 1654 he was appointed one of the assist-
ants to the commissioners of Oxfordshire (as certain heads

of other colleges were) for the ejection of such who were
then called scandalous, ignorant and insufficient ministers
and schoolmasters, and was not wanting upon all occasions
to promote the independent interest in the university. In
l660 he was forced to leave his heloved presidentship to
make room for the right owner Dr. Rich. Baylie, who for
12 years going before had suffer'd much for his loyalty : so
that retiring to London he took up his quarters at length in
Hatton Garden and was not wanting to carry on the con-
gregational way upon all occasions. This person, with
James Baron, did, after Dr. Thomas Goodwin's death, pub-
lish certain of his theological works in two volumes in fol.
and set before them a preface. See more among the crea-
tions, under the year 1653. This Mr. Owen, who had a
good command of the Latin tongue, died suddenly in his
house in Hatton-Garden in Holborn near London, on the
first day of April (Good Friday) l681, and was buried near
to the grave of the said Dr. Goodwin in the yard, called by
some Tindal's, and by others The fanatical, burying place,
joyning on the north side to the New Artillery Yard or Gar-
den near London. Some time before his death he had al-
most prepared for the press a book entit. Imago Imaginis.
The design of which was to shew that Rome Papal is an
image of Rome Pagan, as I have been informed by one of
his persuasion, who is remembred among the writers under
the year 1669.

July 4. Thomas Clutterbook or Clotterbook ^ of

Magd. coll. This person is the same, I suppose, who was

doctorated in divinity elsewhere, and installed archdeacon of
Winchester 31 Jul. 1684. See more in Robert Sharrock
among the writers, under the year 1664.

Nov. 10. Joshua Ahier of New coll. This loyal gen-
tleman, who was the son of Guy Ahier of St. Saviour's in
the isle of Jersey, translated from French into English The
Elements of Logic. Oxon 1647, oct. Written originally by
Pet. du Moulin. A translation of the said book had been
before made with the author's approbation, and printed at
Lond. 1624, oct. by one Nathan, de Laune batch, of arts of
Cambridge, educated in the grammar free-school in the city
of Norwich, whence he was sent by the mayor, sheriffs and
aldermen thereof to C. C. coll. in the said university, an.

rison was surrendred for their use on the 24th of June this
year as I shall tell you anon.

Besides these three, who were all that were this year ad-
mitted, there were two that were licensed to practise phys.
viz. Peter Dewevf.r of Brasen-n. coll. and Edward At-
kinson chirurgeon to his excellency sir Tho. Fairfax the
generalissimo of the pari. army.

Btttchelor of Divinity.

Jul. 23. Gilb. Stoaks of Wadh. coll. This person,

who was the son of a gentleman of Devonshire, had taken
one degree in arts as a member of Hart hall, an. 1OO8; at
which time being noted for his scholarship, he was after-
wards made the junior of the first two chaplains of Wadh.
coll. by Dame Dorothy the foundress thereof. Afterwards
he became an indefatigable student in philosophy and theo-
logy, and a continual disputant even to his last among the
juniors in the time of Lent, being a usual thing in his time
and before for grave seniors to take the questions of quadra-
gesimal disputants to try and ferret them from one hole to
another with subtilties : but since, that custom is esteem'd
forsooth pedantic and ridiculous, to the decay in some re-
spects of disputation. He died on the l6th of Oct. 1654,
aged 71 years (being then, or some time before rector of
Chilton Cantlow in the dioc. of Wells) and was buried in the
outer chappel of Wadh. coll. He had written much, but
published nothing, yet left behind a book, by him written in
Latin, treating of the Holy Eucharist, which, by the judg-
ment of some, was thought fit to be published.

He was the only person that was admitted this year,
having several years before performed all his exercise in
order thereunto.

CJ" Not one doctor of law was admitted or created this
year.

Doctors of Physic.

June 17. James Hyde of C. C. coll. This person, who

was the eleventh son of sir Laur. Hyde of the city of Salis-
bury knight, became after his majesty's restoration the king's
professor of physic of this university and principal of Magd.
hall. He died 7 May 168I, aged 6'4 years, and was buried
in the isle joyning to the north side of the chancel of St.
Peter in the East within the city of Oxon, In tlie month of
Jan. 1641, the members of parliament sent the oath called
the protestation (made by them) to the university of Oxon
to be taken by all there, of the university, that were upward
of 18 years of age ; whereupon the generality of the acade-
mians did take it, yet some with limitations and exceptions :
others absented themselves because they did not rightly un-
derstand it, but this Mr. Jam. Hyde then fellow of C. C. coll.
did plainly refuse it, which none else did beside. 'Tis true
that Dr. Ralph Kettle president of Trin. coll. did wave it,
yet for no other reason, but that he was an old man and had
taken many oaths already, &c.

Nov. 16. John Wilby of Mert. coll. was then admitted

into the house of congregation and convocation. In 1638

he took the degree of batchelor of the said faculty at Cam-
bridge.

(C? Not one doctor of div. was adm. or licensed this year,

sity of St. Andrew in Scotland, was then incorporated by
virtue of the letters of tiie chanc, of the university, which
tell us that he is one of his majesty's physicians in ordinary,

and a gentleman of known learning and vast experience.

He was originally a professor of philosophy in the said uni-
versity, but that being too narrow a place for so great a
person, he left it, travelled into various countries, and be-
came so celebrated for his great learning and skill in physic,
tliat he was the chief man of his country for many years for
that faculty. Afterwards he received the honour of knight-
hood, and was highly valued when he was in Holland with
[54] the prince, 1646-4/. At length tho' his infirmities and great
age forced him to retire from public practice and business,
yet his fame contracted all the Scotch nation to him : and
his noble hospitality and kindness to all that were learned
and virtuous, made his conversation no less loved, than his
advice was desired. One of his name and family named
James VVedderbourne, had spent some time in Oxon for the
sake of the public library, but the particular year when, I
cannot justly tell. He was afterwards doct. of div. preben-
dary of Whitchurch in the church of Wells upon the resigna-
tion of Dr. Job. Harrys of Winchester, in May 1631. and
being some years after made bishop of Dumblain in his own
country, Tho. Row batch, of div. was adm. to his prebend-
ship, 30 June 1638.*

Oct. ... Edmund Wilson (.\nglus-Oxoniensis) son of
John Wilson, was incorporated doct. of phys. as he had

stood in the university of Padua This person, who was

admitted to the degree of batch, of that faculty of Cam-
bridge, 9 Apr. 1638, and to that of doctor at Padua in Jan.

Oct. 15. Thomas Cox doct. of phys. of Padua, son of
Thom. Cox of Somersetsh. — This gentleman, who had taken
the said degree at Padua, in Dec. l641, was a physician in
the parliament army, afterwards fellow of the coll. of phy-
sicians, and president thereof, but being whiggishly inclined,
was deprived of that office in Oct. 1 683 ; whereupon Dr.
Daniel Whistler was put into his place about St. Luke's day
in the same month. Afterwards Dr. Cox put himself in
prison purposely to compound for his debts, and died as Dr,
Whistler did.

Nov. . . . Will. Cuhrer of Yorkshire, doct. of phys. of
Leyden (where he took that degree in l643) was then in-
corporated. " A chymical physician, entirely beloved by
" Mr. Ashmole, died l6 Sept. l668, buried in the chancel of
" St, Clem. Danes Westminster."

' [The Scots, in their Canterimriaju Sei^ Cenraclion, 4to. third edit. 1641,

' Doctor Wedderburne in the new college of S. Andrew did stuff his dic-
tates to the young students in divinity, with these Anninian errors. This
man upon the feares of our churche's censure, having fled the country, was
very tenderly embraced by his grace of Cant, at court, and well rewarded
with a fair benefice in England for his labours. But to the end his talents
should not lie hid, tho* a man very unmeet either for preaciiing or govern-
ment, he was sent down to us without the knowledge of our church, for this
purpose mainly, that in the royal chapell, whereof that bishop is alnaies dean,
he might in despite of all our presbyteries weave out the web he had begun
in St. Andrews. So quickly there was erected a socictie of twenty four
roy^ chaplains who were thought fittest of the whole clergy of the kingdom
to be allnred with liopes of favour from court, to preach to tlie state the dean's
Armioian tenets.' Kemnet.]

Dec. 17. Will. Marshall mast, of arts of Sidney coll.
in Cambridge was then incorporated in the same degree.

Feb. 12. Edw. Emilie of Ch. Ch. doct. of phys. of Ley-
den, was then incorporated Dr. of phys. In 1652 or 53

he held up his hand at the bar, at an assize held in Oxon,
for coyning, but being freed, he went to London, practised
his faculty in the parish of St. Olave's Silver-street, and died
there in the beginning of the year 1658, leaving then a relict
behind him named Elizabeth.

Mar. 22. Richard Jackson alias Keurden batch, of arts

of Emanuel coll. in Cambridge. In 1638 he became a

commoner of St. Mary's hall in this university, but upon the
breaking out of the rebellion went to Cambridge, where
continuing till the Oxford garrison was surrendred, he retired
to his hall again, and was incorporated batch, of arts. See
more among the created doctors of physic 1663.

Creations.

The creations this year did qtiostly consist of scholars, not
of those only that were factious, after the garrison was sur-
rendred, but of those that were orthodox, or had suffered for
their loyalty.

Batchelors of Law.

June 17. Noah Bridges of Bal. coll. lately clerk of the
parliament that sate at Oxon, 1643, and 44, was then ac-
tually created batch, of the civil law, being at that time

esteemed a most faithful subject to his majesty. He was

afterwards author of Lux Mercatoria : Arithmetic naiural

and decimal, digested into a more easie and exact Method for
Resolving the most practical and useful Questions that have
been yet published. Lond. I661, and perhjips of other things.'
This person, who had a lodging allowed him in BaL colL
during the time of the war, is not to be taken to be the same
(as some blundering persons that understand but little of
authors and books, have done) with Noah Biggs the author
of The Vanity of the Craft of Physic, &c. Lond. 1650, 51,
qu.

Alexander Dyer of Wadh. coll." who for many years
together had been trained in the courts ecclesiastical and
civil at London, &c. was created the same day.

Aug. 4. Miles Smith of Magd. coll. who had been ad-
mitted batch, of arts, an. l638, was actually created batch,
of the civil law by virtue of the chancellor's letters directed

formerly to the convoc. This person, who should have

been mention'd among the writers,' could I have obtain'd
full information of him, was a minister's son of, or near to,
the city of Gloeester, and nearly related to Dr. Miles Smith .
sometimes bishop of that city, was at his first coming to
Magd. coll. a servitour, as his contemporaries have informed
me, was now a sufferer for his majesty's cause, and after his

in the East 17 Oct. 1682, aged 18, his body was conveyed
thence to Lambeth near London, I think, and there buried.
The said Dr. Smith bishop of Gloeester had a son called
Miles as I have elsewhere told you, which is all I know of
him.

Batchelors of Divinity.

June 6. In a convocation then held, the vicechancellor
signified to the members thereof, that several preachers of
this and the university of Cambridge, had preached several
laudable sermons before the king, court, and parliament at
Oxon: For which their pains, the delegates, appointed by
the university, could think of no other way to reqtiite them
but by conferring on them degrees -. which matter being at
length decreed by them, and approved by the chancellor's
letters, their names then were publicly read, with liberty
given to the said persons to be created when they pleased.
Among those that were created this year, are these follow-
ing.

10. JosiAs How of Trin. coll. This person, who was

" son of Tho. How minister of Grendon in Buckingham-
" shire," now in good esteem for his ingenuity, hath published
A Sermon before the King at Ch. Ch. on I'sal. 4. 7. Printed,
as 'tis said, in red letters, an. l644 or thereabouts, in qu.'

3 [Yesterday Jan. 14, 1723, I purchased out of the late Dr. Cliarlclfs
st\idj a sermon in quarto of fourty pages upon Psal. 4. 7. It cost Dr. Char-
Uti live shillings as himself fiirmcrly told me. It is printed in red letters and
is one of the greatest rarities 1 ever saw. The title page is wanting, and
perhaps there never was any. The author was Mr. Josias How fellow of
Trinity college Oxon a very great cavalier and loyalist and a most ingenious
man. It was preached before K. Charles I. at Christchurch and was printed
an. 1644 or thereabouts as Mr. Wood observes, tho' he never could see the
sermon. I have been well assured, that this sermon was printed at Oxford,
at Lichfield's press and that there were only thirty copies printed, that K.
Charles I ordered it himselfto be printed in red letters tho' Mr. How being
against printing his sermons had before told his friends, that if ever he
printed any sermon it should be in red letters and that Lichfield being then
printing archbishop Usher's ed. of Iguatius's epistles made use of the wry
same ink that he did in Ignatius where is a greal deal of red letter. The times
being troublesome and in confusion and very bloudy a red letter was proper

but this I have not yet seen.* He hath also several copies of
verses that are extant in various books, which shew him to
have been a good poet. He was put out of his fellowship
by the parliamentarian visitors an. IG'IS, was restored in l60O,
but was no gainer by.his sufferings as many honest cavaliers
were not by tlieirs. He is now living, and will tell you the
reason why, &c.

Others were created this year, which for brevity's sake I
shall now omit to set down : However the reader must know,
that several persons besides were allowed to take the same
degree of batch, of div. among whom were Obadiah Wal-
ker of Univ. coll. and Ant. Hodoes chapl. of New colL but
they refused that favour.

Doctors of Physic.

April 9. Peter Massonet lately of the city of Geneva,
now second or under tutor to James duke of York, was then
actually created.

June 23. Charles Scarborough of Merton coll. lately
fellow of that of Caius of Cambr.* was then actually created
by virtue of the letters of the chancellor of the university, in
which 'tis said that he was master of arts of Cambridge of J
years standing and upwards, and that he was spoiled of his
library in the beginning of these troubles ; and afterwards
for his conscience deprived of his fellowship at Cambridge,
&c. His letters testimonial under the hand of the famous
Dr. Will. Harvey, say also that he is well learned in physic,
philosophy and mathematics, &c. While he abode in Mert.
coll. he did help the said Dr. Harvey then warden of that
house (in his chamber at the end of tlie said library there)
in the writing his book De Gcneratinne Animalium, which
was afterwards published by the said Harvey. Afterwards
he became a most learned and incomparable anatomist, one
of the coll. of physicians, principal physician to king Charles
II. (from whom he received the honour of knighthood on
the 15 of Aug. 1669) and to his royal highness James his
brother, while duke of York, and when king, physician to
the Tower of London, and afterwards to king Will. 111. &c.

and tis very probable that the sermon beinc much talked of then as it hath
becD since to secure both himself and the printer the belter, Mr. How might
leave out the title page. Mr. Wood was well acquainted with this Mr. How
and yet for all that he could neithtr see this sermon nor get a good clear ac-
count of it which makes me think that Mr. How had no copy of it by hira
when Mr. Wood became acquainted with him. I have heard old Mr. Crosley
an Oxford bookseller, who died :some years ago at Great Milton, having lelt
olf bis trade a little before he die<l, say more than once, upon ray asking him,
lluit he once bad this sermon in red letters but he could not tell who bought
it It may be tis this very copy that I now Iiave As for Mr. How who took
the degree of batch of divin, July 10. 1646 being created among otliers that
had the honour of degrees conferr'd on them by creation that year for their
laudable sermons before the king, court and parliament at t)xon preached by
all of them sometime before he was put out of his fellovvsliip by the parlia-
mentarian visitors an 1648 : was restored' in 1660 tho he gained nothing by
his sufferings as many other honest cavaliers did nothing by theirs. He lived
to a great age, and died fellow of the college some few years agoe ; but lived
so retirely in the latter part of his life that he rarely came abroad, 50 that I
could never see him tho* 1 have often much desired to have a sight of him.

Howe was born about the year IGl 1 , and elected scholar of Trinity June
12, 1632, and fellow May 26, 1637. He was admitted to the degree of B. A.
June 18, 1634. He died a fellow of the college, where he had constantly
resided, August 28,1701. Several of his commendatory verses will be found
prefixed to the poems of bis contemporaries, among others before the works of
Thomas Randolph.]

He was the first that introduced ° geometrical and mechanical
speculations into anatomy, and applyed them well in all hia
learned conversation, as more particularly in his famous lec-
tures upon the muscles of humane bodies for 16 or 17 years
together in the public theatre at surgeon's-hall, which were
read by him with infinite applause and admiration of all
sorts of learned men in the great city. He is also most ad-
mirably well skill'd in the mathematic arts, and was so es-
teemed by the famous Mr. Will. Oughtred, who speaks thus '
of him after he had given a just chacacter of Mr. Cbristop.

is added to The Anatomical AdminiUration of all the Muscles
of an human Body as they rise in Dissection, &c. revived with
additions by Will. Molins master in chirurgery. This book,
which hath been several times printed in oct. is, and ever
will be used, as having a prospect of two excellent ends
especially : one to shew all the muscles as they naturally rise
in dissection, the other, to place every one of them by his
l)roper antagonist. (2) Trigonometry, printed in qu. He
hath also compendiously methodized the Grammar of the
famous Will. Lilye, which shews him to have been a critical

to hand in MS. This worthy person is now living in great
repute and veneration at court,^ within the liberty of West-
minster ; of whom you may see more in the discourse of
Dr. Seth Ward among the writers in this vol. under the year

June 23. Rob. Mead M. A. of Ch. Ch. and a captain in
his majesty's service.

William Lord Brouncker viscount of Castle Lyons,
son of sir Will. Brouncker, (mention'd among the created
doctors of the civil law under the year 16'12) was actually

created doctor of physic the same day This noble person,

did then solely addict himself to the study of the mathe-
matics, and at length became a very great artist in that fa-
culty. He was afterwards fellow of .the Royal Society, and
president thereof for about 15 years : Which society he did
much honour and advance by his learning and experience.
The places of lionour and profit which he held, were the
chancellorship of her majesty's courts, and keeping of her
great seal, one of the lords commissioners for the executing '
the office of the lord high adiniral, and mastership of St,
Catharine's hospital near to the Tower of London : Which
last place he obtained in Nov. 1 681, after a long suit of law
had tlepended between him and sir Rob. Atkins a judge,
concerning the right thereof. He hath extant under hia
name. Experiments of the recoiling of Guns, mention'd in the
Hist, of the Royal Society, and Several Letters to Dr. Jam.

Jun. 6. In a convocation then held, the vicechancellor
signilied to the members thereof, &c. as before, under the

following were created, either for their preaching before the
court or pari, at Oxon, or for their sufferings for the royal
cause.

school near Winchester, made perpetual fellow of New coll.
in l6oy, and afterwards taking holy orders, he became
rector of Turveston and Akeley in Buckinghamshire. In
the beginning of the civil war, he suffered much for his
loyalty and a good conscience, suffer'd also by the loss of
his goods and imprisonment ; and therefore retiring to
Oxon, was there actually created D. of D. He hath pub-

shire, was first a com. of Line. coll. afterwards fellow of
that of All-souls', M. of A. and beneficed ; but suffering for
his majesty's cause he retired to Oxon, and was there created
D. of D. as 'tis here said. After his majesty's restoration, he
was, by the endeavours of William lord Croft his brother,
promoted to the deanery of Norwich, in the place of Ur.
Joh. Hassall some years before deceased ; in which being
install'd 7 Aug. 166O, sate there to the time of his death,
which happening on the 27th of July IO70, he was buried
in the cath. ch. at Norwich. His said brother Will, lord
Croft, died either in Aug. or Sept. I677.

Will. Stutevile of Ch. Ch. who had lately done his
majesty special service in the west, was actually created the
same day, June 23.

Tristram Sugge of Wadh. coll. was also created the same
day. This person, who was born at Yeovill in Somerset-
shire, had been public metaphysic reader and proctor of the
university. Afterwards he was ejected by the visitors in
1648, and suffer'd much in the interrupted times for his
loyalty. In 166O he was restor'd to his fellowship, and
dying on the 27th of January in the same year, was buried
in the chappel of Wadham coll. He was esteemed by all
that knew him a profound philosopher and divine, and very

fit to publish what he had written of those subjects ; but
since his death his papers are gotten into such hands, that it
is doubted whether ever they will sec light."

master of Wykeham's school near Winchester. — lie resigned
the said mastership soon after, was succeeded by Mr. Will.
Burt, and died in iSSQ.

This year it was allowed by the members of the ven. con-
vocation, that Hen. Tozir, Joh. Proctor, anri Baldwin
AcLAND of Exeter coll. Rob. Barker of New coll. Rich.
Washington of Univ. coll. Edm. Diggle of Magdalen,
and John Good of New coll. might have liberty when they
pleased to be created doctors of divinity, but they all refused
then, and the next year to accept of that favour.

At the same time also Isaac Basire,' and Rich. Duke-
son of Camb. Thom. Bunbury of Bal. coll. Rob. Sibthobp
of Line. coU. Will. Haywood of St. John's coll. &c. who
had fled to O.xon, as an asylum [to avoid the unheard of
barbarities and cruelties o/' the presbylerians'^'] and there had
several times preached before his majesty and the members
of parliament, had each a license given to them under the
public seal of the univ. to preach the word of God through-
out England.

This year Jun. 24, being AVednesday and Midsummer [58]
day, the garrison of Oxford was surreiider'd for the use of
the piu-liament ; at which time marched out in a body east-
ward about 3000 soldiers, besides 500 or thereabouts north-
ward, and a little before and after them, five hundred more,
mostly horsemen and private persons engaged in the siege.
On Monday going before, prince Rupert and prince iMaurice
his brother, with their attendants, departed ; and those that
followed tliem the next day, were about 300 persons, most
of them of (juality, and their attendants. AVhen the forces
belonging to the parliament were enter'd, who were all
jiresbyterians, independents or worse, were among them their
chaplains of the same persuasion, who forthwith, upon all
occasions, thrust themselves into the ))ulpiis, purposely by
their rascally doctrine to obtain either proselytes, or to draw
off from their loyal princi|)les imd orthodox religion the
scholars and inhabitants. Among them were Hugli Peters
that diabolical villain ;-.nd pulpit-buffoon,^ Will. Dell chapl.
to sir Tho. Fairfax, John Saltmarsh, Will. Erbury, &c. and
what they did there besides, (luring their stay, is too large a
story now to tell you. In Sept. following, were seven pres-
byterian ministers (who had formerly had their education in
this university) appointed by parliament, sent to Oxon, to
])rench at St. Mary's, and elsewhere to draw off the scholars
from their loyal principles ; but Edw. Corbet one of them,
being aliout that time called thence, the six carried on the
work, yet found opposition by the independents and other
sectaries, of whom Will. Erhury was one, yet all upon any
occasion would joyn together to pluck down and persecute
the malignants, that is cavaliers and royalists. So that

more loyal to their prince, orthodox, and observant of the
ceremonies of the cliurch of England, than the scholars, and
the generality of tlie inhabitants of Oxon were ; so after the
entry of the said parlianicntecrs, there a[)peared nothing but
confusion, darltncse, &c. Hell was broke loose upon the
poor remnant, and they were over-run by sectaries, blas-
phemers, hypocrites, exciters to rebellion, censurers, covetous
persons, men of self-pride, envy, and what not. So that
those of the gown that could not brook such persons, did
either leave the university, or abscond in their respective
houses, till they could know their doom by the approaching
visitation. The soldiery did declare their impudence so
much, that they forbore not to preach in some of the pulpits,
and to thrust themselves into the public schools, and there,
in the places of lecturers, speak to the scholars against
human learning, and challenge the most learned of them to
prove their calling from Christ, &c. But let the restless
presbyterians be thanked for the original of all these evils,
and others that followed ; who, to fill their coffers, raise
their families, please and cherish their ])rivate lusts and
endearments and nothing else, care not what mischief they
do, or what ruin they bring upon this poor nation^ so that
they might obtain their own unworthy ends.

May 22. John Finch of Bal. coll. This most worthy

person, who was younger brother to sir Heneage Finch
(afterwards earl of Nottingham) and both the sons of sir

Heneage Finch, brother to Thomas earl of Winchelsey, was
bred in grammar learning under Mr. Edw. Sylvester, who
taught in All-saints parish in Oxon ; and when at about 15
years of age he became gent. com. of the said coll. of Baliol.
After lie had taken one degree here, he applied his mind to
the study of phy.sic, but leaving the university when it was
turn'd topsy turvy the next year by the visitors, he some
time after travelled into Italy, became doctor of his faculty
there (at Padua as it seems) and public reader of it in sevend
places. Afterwards he was made consul of the English at
Padua, and prefer d by all the Italians and Greeks (tho' C^^J
himself much opposed it) to be syndic of that whole univer-
sity, an honour no English man ever had before. In con'
templation and memory of his excellent government, they
did set up his statue in marble, and the great duke (invited
by the fame of his learning and virtues) did make him the
public professor at Pisa; all princes .striving who should
most honour a person (so vastly above his years) so knowing
and meritorious. After his majesty's restoration, he returned
to his native country, and giving a visit to Edw. earl of
Clarendon lord chancellor, he was by him conducted to his
majesty ; and being by him presented as a rarity, his majesty
no sooner saw, but instantly confer'd upon him the honour
of knighthood (Jun. 10. 1661.) as a person who abroati had
in a high degree honoured his country. In l665 he was sent
resident for his maj. of Great Britain with the great duke of
Tuscany, and upon his arrival at Florence sir Bernard
Gascoigne (a known friend to the English nation) did with
an undeniable civility press him to take quarter at his own
house, till he should be farther provided ; which he accord-
ingly accepted, and the duke was pleased to employ tlie said
sir Bernard to his majesty's resident, with such notices and
respects as he found then convenient. In the end, all things
being agreed upon, as to the manner and dignity of his
reception, the said resident made his entry in a very noble
coach, being attended with an answerable train, in rich
liveries, and a great number of other coaches, beside the
whole factory of Leghorn, who very kindly appeared in a
handsom equipage to do him all possible honour. Thus
attended, he went to the palace, and received audience, first
from the great duke, and two days after from the dutchess
and ])rince, acquitting himself with a singular grace through-
out the whole ceremony. Afterwards he shewed himself
dexterous and happy in his public ministry, as also in his
private conversation, whereby he gained to himself the
esteem and good will of all meii. When he had continued
there some years he returned, and was sent ambtissador to
Constantinople, and continued there, with very great esteem
also. After he had quitted that office, he returned to Lon-
don, and dying early in the morn, of the 1 8th of Nov. I6b2,*
(being then fellow of the coll. of physicians) he w;is buried
in the chap, of Christ's coll. in Cambridge, to which house
he had been a great benefactor. He had a brother named
Francis Finch, bred up also under E. Silvester, was after-
wards a gent. com. of Bal. coll. but leaving it without a
degree, went to London, studied the law, and became a
barrister of one of the I'emples, but before he had long
practised he died, yet lives still in those several pieces of
ingenuity he left behind him, wherein he falls not short of
the best of poets : And because ' poeta est finitimus oratori,'
he might have proved excellent in that loo, having so
incomparable a precedent as his brother sir Heneage Finoh.'
Among the several specimens of his poetry which I have
seen, is a copy of verses before Will. Cartwright'a Poeww,

Masters of Arts.

June 17. Amos Waldrond — He was then, as it seems,
created, because in a convocation then lield, that degree was
then granted to him by the members thereof. He had been
admitted a student in Trin. coll. in Canibr. 18 Nov. l637,
was elected scholar of that house in Easter term 1 G4 1 , an(l
admitted batch, of arts in Jan. following. Afterwards he
entred into holy orders, had a rectory conferred on him, but
being forced thence by the presbyterians, was taken into tlie
protection of Will, marquess of Hertford, and by him made
his secretary : which place he now (1647) enjoyed.

It was also then granted by the convocation, that John
King lately a student of Ch. Ch. son of Dr. Hen. King
bishop of Chichester, might be created M. of A. in any con-
gregation or convocation ; but whether he was so, it appears
not.

Jul. 8. Thom. Re.vding of Ch. Ch. lately freed from
prison, wherein he had for a long time been detained from the
offices, not of a good citizen, but from those of the univer-
sity, was then actually created.

At the same time the university delegates did grant to
Thom. Rastall batch, of arts of Ch. Ch. (lately an under-
graduat of the university of Camb.) that he mig'ht have the
degr. of M. A. conferr'd on him, in consideration of the
several services he had done for his mjgesty ; but whether
he was admitted 1 cannot tell.

On the 2d of Nov. three batch, of arts, who had been sol-
diers ill the garrison of Oxon, were also then created masters,
but in the year after were ejected : .And on the 24th of Jan.
following it was dispenced with by the said delegates, that
Tho. Wood batch, of arts of Ch. Ch. of 5 years standing,
who was the first young scholar, or undergraduat that
voluntarily left the univ. to serve his majesty at the battel of
Edghill, might be presented to the degr. of mast, in any
congregation ; which was accordingly done, but not registred.
The ne.\t year he being deeply engaged in the cavaleering
plot at Oxon, in order for the relief of the distressed royalists
besieged in Colchester, he was forced thence to save his
neck : Whereupon going into Ireland, he became an officer
in the regiment of col. Hen. I ngoldsby (his quondam school-
fellow at 1 hame) against those that were then called rebels ;
where, at Tredagh, he ended his days of the country disease
called the flux, an. l651.

Batchelors of Physic.

Feb. 1. Edm. Gayton of St. John's coll. He was

turned out of his place the next year, and soon after com-
pounded for his estate, for the sun» of 47/.

About the same time it was allowed to three masters to be
created batchelors of physic, two of which (of Exeter coll.)
were afterwards ejected : Whereupon one of them going to
Padua was there made doctor, and incorporated here after his
majesty's restoration, and the other actually created, as I
shall tell you when I come to the year 166O.

The first of these two, who was son of Franc. Walwyn of

17 years, was afterwariis fellow, M. of A. and a noted

had liberty to be created when they pleased. Some of thofle
that were created had preached before the king and pari.

Doctor of Law.

Nov. 23. George Wilde of St. John's coll. He wa.s

the only person that was created this year, and after his
majesty's restoration he became bishop of London-Derry in
Ireland.

Doctors of Physic.

Mays. Capt. Antifony Morgan sometimes of Magd.
coU. was actually created by virtue of the letters sent to the
univ. from Fairfax general of the pari, army, which say that
he hath faithfully behaved himself in the public service,
meaning the service of the parliament.

Thom. Whakton of Trin. coll. was created the same dav
by virtue of the letters from the said general, which say that
he was sometimes a student in this university, and after-
wards improved his time in London in the study of all parts
of physic, &c.

In a convocation held 17 June it was granteil to John
French M. A. of New inn, now a physician in the pari.
army, that he might accumulate the degrees of batch, and

doct. of phys. but he did not. See more in the next year,

where you'll find him actually created.

This year flocked to the university several poor scholars,
whom some call'd the scum of Cambridge, many poor school-
masters, pedagogues from belfries, curates and sometimes
vicars, as also pari, soldiers, especially such that had been
lately disbanded, to gain preferment by the visitation ap-
proaching; for this year the visitors could make nothing of
it, as I have elsewhere' told you. They were commonly
called Seekers, were great frequenters of the sermons at St.
Mary's, preached by the 6 ministers appointed by parliament,
and other jiresbyterian ministers that preached in other,
churches in Oxon, and sometimes frequenters of the conven-
ticles of independents antl anabaptists. The generality of
them had mortified countenances, puling voices, and eyes
commonly, when in discourse, lifted up, with hands lying
on their breasts. Th^y mostly had short hair, which at this
time was commonly called the committee cut, and went in
quirpo in a shabbed condition, and looked rather like pren-

with, them, but rather endeavour to put scorn ujwn them
and make them ridiculous, &c.

This year was a sojourner and student in Oxon, for the
sake of the public library, Pet. Laur. Scavenius a noble
Dane; who, after his return to his own country, became a
learned man and a publisher of certain books, whereby he
obtained an increasing admiration from his countrymen.

pointed New, and .All-soules, coll. to elect proctors for this
year: and being admitted on the said day (Apr. 12.) by the
same authority. Will. Bew or Beaw of New coll. (after-
wards bishop ofLandaff) who had been cliosen by the society
of New coll. for their proctor on tlie first Wednesday in
Lent 1647, was put aside, as also one Ed. Allason, who
(as 'tis said in the visitors register) was chose by those of

who was son of Adam Littleton' of Stoke St. Milburge in
Shropshire, of the antient and genteel family of the Little-
tons in that county and elsewhere, became a commoner of
St. Mary's hall in the beginning of the year l641, aged 15
years or thereabouts, and in 1 647 he was elected fellow of
the said coll. of All-s. In i656 he was installed one of the
proctors, and continued in his house, as I conceive, 'till his
majesty's restoration. He hath written and published, De

[53] Incorpornttons.

The incorporations this year did mostly consist of Can-
tabrigians who had lately come to this university for pre-
ferment from the visitors, when the great rout of royalists
were by them made in this university.

Balchelors of Arts.

About 20 were incorporated, of which number were these.

June 10. Ricii.Maden ofMagd. coll. in Cambridge.

This person, who afterwards took the degree of master, as a
member of New inn, I .set down here, not that he was af-
terwards a writer, but to distinguish him from another of
, both his names who was author of certain sermons of Christ's

ly Love toimrds Jerusalem. Lond. l637, qu. and perhaps of

other things.

Jul. 4. Petkr Pktt of Sydney coll.' He was soon

after made fellow of AU-s. coll. became a great virtuoso, and
at length a knt. and a writer, and therefore he is hereafter to
be numbred among the writers, with honour.

Oct. lO. Jam. \Vard of Harwarden coll. at Cambridge in
New England. His testimony dated 3 Dec. 1646 is sub-
scribed by Hen. Dunster president, and Sam. Danforth
fellow, of that coll. but whether this J. Ward published any
thing afterwards, I know not. After he was incorporated,
he was admitted master. See among the created batch, of
phys. l64y

Dec. 8. Jo II. RowE of Cambridge in Old England.

Two days after he wiis admitted master, as I have before told
you.

them was afterwards a writer, bishop, or man of note. Two
of them were at present of Mert. coll. who afterwards were
jircferr'd by the visitors to be fellows of colleges in the
places of royalists ejected, viz. one of Wadham, and another
of Brasen-n. coll.

Doctors of Phi/sic,

Apr. 14. Edm. Tuench (Anglo-Nordovicensis) doct. of

physic of Bourges in France. He took that degree there

in 1638.

John Micklf.thwait a Yorksh. man born, who had
taken the degree of doct. of phys. at Padua in Italy, l638,

was incorporated also the same day, Apr. 14. He was

now one of the coll. of physicians, was, several years after,
president thereof, physician in ord. to king Charles II. from
whom he received the honour of knighthood ; and dying on
Friday 29 July l683, aged 70 years, was buried in the lower
end of the duirch (on the north side) of St. Botolph without
Aldersgate, London.*

Geokge Rogers of Line. colL doct. of phys. of Padua,

was incorporated the same day, Apr. 14. He is now, as I

conceive, or at least was lately, president of the coll. of phy-
sicians, hath published certain things, and therefore is to be
remembred hereafter.

Oct. 13. Rob. Waydesden doct. of phys. of Cambridge,
was then incorporated.

Creations.

There were two or more creations this year In all faculties,
which were called the Pembrokian creations, because they
were made by the command of Philip earl of Pembroke
chancellor of the university, while he continued in Oxon, to
break open lodgings and give possession to the new he<uls of
the presbyterian gang. The creations were made on tlie 12th,
]4th and 15th of Ajjril, and those that were not then
created, are not to be numbred among those of Pembrokiait
creations.

Masters (>f Arts,

Seven or more masters of the said univ. of Camb. were in-
corporated, but such obscure persons they were that nothing
can be said of them.

Oct. 10. Will. Hamilton M. A. of the univ. of Glascow

in Scotland. This person, who was noted among the

presbytcriaiis for a learned man, was put in fellow of All-s.
coll. this year by the visitors, but left it in l651 because he
refused the independent oath called the Engagement. Af-
terwards he took his rambles, setled and had some place
bestowed on him, but what I cannot tell. Among several
things that he hath written is a pamphlet entit. Some Neces-
sity of Ilejbrmalion, &c. printed 166J in reply to a pamphlet
written by the learned Dr. John Pearson entit. No Necessity
of Reformation, &c. in answer to Reasons shewing the Neces-
sity of Reformation, &c. See in Corn. B urges an. 1065. in
Hen. Savage an. 16/2. and in Jo. Riddle an. l662.

There were also 4 English-men who were masters of arts
of the university of St. Andrew incorporated, but not one of

These last were visitors of the univ. appointed by the
pari.

All these, besides three more, whose Christian names occur
not, were presented by sir Nath. Brent to the new vicechanc.
Dr. Reynolds, at which time the chancellor of the univ. sate
in tlie supream chair in the convocation house.

Apr. 14. Lieut. Col. Tho. Kelsey, commonly called
colonel Kelsey, now deputy-governour of the garrison of
Oxon, for the parliament, was then actually created M. of A.
— — This person, who had been a mean trader in Birchin-
Lane in London, (a godly button-maker as I have heard)
was a great creature of Ol. Cromwell, who made him a
commissioner of the admiralty worth 500/. per an. and major
gen. for Kent and Surrey, the salary for one of which coun-
ties came to 6661. 1 3s. 4d. jior an. besides the revenues due
to him as being governor of Dover Castle. After his tna-
jesty's restoration, when then he was deprived of all his
places, he took upon him the trade of brewing in London,
lived at least 20 years after, and died but in a mean con-
dition, as 1 have heard.

Francis Alley a captain in Oxford garrison was created

the same day. He afterwards lived at, or near, Abingdon,

and died but in a sorry condition. One of both his names,
a goldsmith in Fleet-street, London, son of the poor vicar of
Gretton in Northamptonshire, was one of the judges of king
Charles I. and a constant rumper, but whether of any kin
to the captain I cannot tell. Thom. Wait, anoth«r judge of
the said king, was the son of an ale-house keeper of Market
Overton ; but he was not created.

L.\timer Cross lately manciple of Magd. hall, now stew-
ard of Magd. coll. He died 3 Dec. 1657, and was buried

in Magd. coll. chappel; whereupon his stewardship was
bestowed by the then president on a godly brother called
Elisha Coles.

Fran-CIS Howell of Exet. coll. He was afterwards

one of the proctors of the university, moral philosophy reader,
and at length principal of Jesus coll. by the favour of Ol.
Cromwell, as being an independent to the purpose. After
his maj. restoration, he was turn'd out of his principality ; so
that living mostly in, and near, London, a nonconformist
and conventicler, tiled at Bednal Green in Middlesex on the
8th or 10th of Mar. 1679. Afterwards his body being con-
veyed to the phanatical burying-place joyning to the New
Artillery-yard near London, was there buried in the presence
of a great many dissenters. "

Sam. Lee of Magd. hall was created also the same day.-^
He was afterwards made fellow of Wadh. coll. became a
writer and publisher of several books, and is now living in
New England.

John Milward of New inn was created the same day.

Apr. 14. Tlus person, who was soon after made fellow of

C. C. coll. by the visitors, continued always after a noncon-
formist, and died so. Under his name is published a sermon
entit. Hoiv ive ought to love our Neighbour as our selves ; on
Matthew 22. 39. Printed in the Supplement to the Morning
Exercise at Cripplegate in London, an. 1674. 76. qu.' «

John Flower of New inn, was also created the same day.

What preferment he had coiifcrr'd upon him by the

visitors I know not : sure 1 am that lie was soon after
preacher of God's word at llmington in Warwickshire, and
afterwards at Staunton in the county of Nottingham, where
1 find him in l658, and that he was author of (1) The free
and honourable Servant, set Jorth in his Privileges and Pre-
rogatives, &c. Lond. 1652, Oct. (2) Several Quxries con-
cerning the Church of Jesus Ch. upon Earth, briefly explained
and resolved, Lond. l658, oct. What other things he hath
published I cannot tell, nor any thing else of him, only that
he was son of Will. Flower of Cubley in Derbyshire gent,
and that he became a commoner of New inn in Act term
1 640, aged 1 (j years.

Jexkin Lloyd of Jesus coll. was also created the same
day.— — See more among the created doctors of divinity an.
1661.

Apr. 15. Rich. Wkrge of Trin. coll. was actually created

in the second Pembrokian creation. This person, who

was a shoemaker's son, was born at Witney in Oxfordshire,
became servitor of the said coll. in the beginning of the year
1642, aged 17 years, and this year was made fellow thereof
by the visitors, being by them taken to be a godly brother
for the cause, as indeed he was. Afterwards he became
rector of Nelson or Nailson in Leicestershire, which lie ex-
changed with Mr. Joh. Cave of Colcorton for Gateshead or
Gateside near New Castle upon Tyne, he being then a con-
formist. He hath written and published (l) A Sermon
preached in St. Mary's Church at Gateshead in the County
Pal. of Durham; on Hos. 5, 12. Lond. l683. qu. (2) Ser-
mon in St. Mar. at Gateshead, Sfc. at the Funeral of George
Johnson Gent, deceased, 1Q May 1683 ; on Heb. 9. Part of
the Tjth Ver. printed in qu. whereunto is added an Elegy by
a friend. This R. Werge died about Michaelmas 1687, and
was buried in the church of St. Mary at Gateshead.

Apr. 15. RoB. Gorges of St. Edm. hall. He was soon

after made fellow of St. Joh. coll. by the visitors, became
one of the proctors of the univ. in 1653, afterwards secretary
to Hen. Cromwell lord lieutenant of Ireland, doct. of the
civil law of Dublin, and an enjoyer of several places of ho-
nour and trust, as also of an estate in that kingdom. At
length he became secretary to Frederick duke of Schomberg
general of his majesty's forces in Ireland, &c. He was born
at Chedder in Somersetshire.*

Ambrose Upton of New inn was created the same day.

He was soon after one of those many, that were this,

and the next year, made fellows of All-s. coll. by the visitors.
In lbs I he became, by the favour of Ol. Cromwell, canon
of Ch. Ch. in Oxon, in the place of Dr. John Mills ejected
for refusing the engagement ; but being discharged of that
place about the 13th of IMar. 1659, to make room for the

said Mills, then restored by the rump pari, and secluded
members added to them, he retired to London, and lived for
some time there a nonconformist. Afterwards he went into
Ireland, got a place there belonging to the customs, and lived
in good fashion for several years. Afterwards returning into
England, he concluded his Last day at Lond. about 7 or 8
years since, and was buried at Ch. Ch. within Newgate in
the said city, as I have been informed by one of his jjcrsua-
sion, (a congregational man) who fartlier told me that he
was of the antient family of the Uptons in Devonshire.
" But I have been since inform'd that he was living at, or
" near. Stony Stratford in 1684."

Jan. 6. George Kellam secretary to the committee of
lords and com. for affairs of foreign concernment, the navy
and customs, was then actually created by virtue of the let-
ters of the chanc. of the university, which say that he is a
gent, whose parts and good affections to the cause are very
considerable, and found no less useful in the way of his em-
ployment, &c.

Batchelors of Physic.

Apr. 14. Thom. Sydenham of Magd. hall. He was

soon after put in fellow of All-s. coll. by the visitors.

There was but one more created, who was of Ch. Ch, and
ran with all mutations, but good for nothing, and not worth
the naming, unless it be for his antient and genteel ex-
traction.

Batchelors of Divinity,

Apr. 12. FiiANcis Cheynell of Mert. coll. now one of
the visitors appointed by pari, to reform the university, was

then actually created batch, of div. This person was to

have been batch, of div. in Dec. 1641, but unjustly (as he
said) I\ept back from his degree because he preached against
Arminianism, that is, against the king's declaration, for
which his grace was then denied. It was then also (12 Apr.
1648,) desired and granted in convocation that he might be
declared batch, of div. he having performed his exercise
seven years before, and not lose his seniority, but be seated
among the batch, of div. of that year, &c. The next day,
when the chancellor and visitors, with a great rabble follow-
ing them, went from college to college to give the new heads
possession, they put this Mr. Cheynell into possession of the
president's lodgings in St. Joh. coll. See more in Hist. ^
Anlitj. Univ. Oxun, lib. 1. p. 403. a. b. 404. a.

Apr. 12. John Wilkins M. A. of Magd. hall. The

next day the said visitors gave him possession of the warden's
lodgings of Wadh. coll.

Henry Langley M. A. master of Pembr. coll. and one of
the six or seven ministers appointed by parliament to preach
the scholars into obedience to them, was created the same

day On tlie 26tli of Aug. lG47 he was made master of

the said coll. by order of parliament, and on the 8th of Oct.
following he was established therein by the visitors. In
l648 he became canon of Ch. Ch. in the place of Dr. George
Morley, by the same power, and had possession given to him
thereof in this month of April. See more of him among the
created doctors of div. an. 1649.

Henhy Counish M. a. of New inn, another of the mi-
nisters. He was soon after put into possession of one of

the canonries of Ch. Ch. See in Hist. &; Anliq, Univ. Ox.
lib. 2. p. 260. a. See also among the created doct. of div.
under the year 1 64f).

The said four batchelors of div. were presented to the
Vot. IV.

vicech. Dr. Reynolds, by Dr. Joh. ^Vilkinson principal of
Magd. hall, the senior theologist of the university and the
design 'd and nominated president of Magd. coll.

May 19. Thom. Gilbert of St. Edm. hall. This per-
son, who hath written and published several things, and is
now living in Oxon a nonconformist, aged 80 years or more,
is hereafter to be numbred among the writers.

Aug. 4. Thomas Bokhace a student in divinity for at
least twenty years, was then actually created.-^ — This
zealous presbyterian was now (16I8) a forward preacher up
of the cause in the church of St. Martin, and in that of All-
saints within the city of Oxon. His usual form of prayer
for the king, before his sermons, was, that if God took any
pleasure in him, he would do so and so, &c. AVhen he was
created batch, of div. he took the oath of allegiance, but

with this salvo. 1 take this oath so far forth as it doth

not contradict the national covenant.

Feb. 9. George Marshall M. of A. of St. Joh. colL in
Camb. a student in divinity for twenty years at least, chap-
lain to the garrison of Oxori belonging to the parliament,
and the designed and nominated warden of New coll. was
then also created.

JoHAN. Peogulbicki bom in the province or dukedom of

Samogitie in Poland, was created the same day. He was

now, or at least lately, deacon or catechist of the church of
Keidun in the said dukedom, and one of the .scholars of the
illustrious prince Janusius Radzevill tlie chief fautor and
patron of the reformed church in those parts. This Progul-
bicki had spent before this time four years in several univer-
sities in Germany and Holland.

Mar. 8. Isaac Knight chaplain to Fairfax the generalis-
simo of the parliament army.'

Doctors of Laxu.

Apr. 14. Samuel Aneley of Qu. coll. ^This person,

who wrote himself afterwards, and was called, by the name
of Annesley, because it is the same with a noble name,' hath
written and published several things, and therefore he is to
be remembred hereafter among the Oxford writers. He is
now, or at least was lately, living a nonconformist divine,
either in, or near, London. See in Hist, {f Anliq. Univ.
Oxon, lib. 1. p. 404. b.

Jan. 5. John Mills LL. bac. one of the visitors and

canon of Ch. Ch. He had been lately judge advocate of

the parliament army, and w.is this year put into iX)ssession.
of his canonry, but in 1651 being turned out tlience for de-
nying the oath called the engagement, Ambr. Upton suc-
ceeded, as I have before told you. On the 13th of March
1659 he was restored to his canonry by the rump parliament,
with the secluded members added to them, but soon after,
upon his majesty's restoration, he was forced to leave it to
make room for Dr. Edw. Pococke. See Hist. If Aiitiq. Univ,
Ox. lib. 2. p. 259. a. 261 . a. Soon after, by the favour of Dr.
Edward Reynolds, he became chancellor of Norwich, and

beginning of the year 1 676.

Doctors of Phi/sic.

Apr. 12. JoH. Palmer alias Vaulx batch, of phys. of Qu.
coll. now a recruiter of the long parliament, was actually

created doct. in the presence of the chancellor. The next

day he was put into possession of the lodgings belonging to
the warden of AU-s. coll. by the said chancellor and visitors.
Dr. Sheldon the warden being then dismist by them and im-
prison'd. See Hist. 4" ^«"J- Univ. Ox. lib. 1. p. 402. b.

Apr. 14. Toby Garrband alias Herks, batch, of phys.

and principal of Gloc. hall, was also actually created. In

1660 being turn'd out from his principality, he retired to
Abingdon in Berks, practised his faculty there, and dying 7
Apr. 1669, was buried in St. Helen's church in that town.

Samuel Thompson of Magd. hall. This person, who

was son of Will. Thompson of Westl)ury in Wilts, minister
of God's word, wrote Exerciialions and Meditations on some
Texts of holy Scripture, and most in Scripture Phrase and
Expression. Lond. 1676, oct. In the title of this book, he
writes himself master of arts and doct. of physic, but whether
he was master of arts of this university, it appears not in the
public register.

Apr. 14. John French of New inn. ■ I have spoken of
him at large among the writers.

Apr. 15. Peter Dormer of Magd. hall. He was tlie

fifth son of Fleetwood Dormer of Grange in Bucks, and a
neighbour and relation to the earl of Caernarvon.

Feb. 9. Hump. Whitmore of St. Mary's hall was then
created by virtue of the letters sent to the convocation from
Fairfax the general, now lord Fairfax, which say that he is a
physician of note and eminency in those cities and towns

where he hath lived. And that he hath been a member of

both universities, &c.

Mar. 8. Abr iham Huard alias Lomfre sometime of the
university nf Caen in Normandy, was then created by virtue
of the chancellor's letters, which say that his affections to the

cause of the parliament have exposed him to sufferings.

That he is a protestant of France, and his quality and suffer-
ings have been made known to me by persons of honour,
gentlemen of quality and physicians of this kingdom, as also
by one Mr. Joh. Despaigne one of the French ministers of
London, &c.

Doctors of Divinity.

Apir. 12. Edward Reynolds M. A. dean of Ch. Church
by order of parliament, and actually put into possession of it
by the breaking open the doors belonging to the dean in the
morn, of this day, by the chancellor, visitors and a band of
the soldiers of the garrison of Oxon, was declared doct. of
div. in a convocation held in the afternoon, by order of par-
liament. He was not presented doctor according to the

usual manner and custom, only stood near the chancellor's
chair while the order of the said parliament was reading :
And the reason for this unusual way was, because there was
no vicechancellor, to whom he should be presented, and if
he had been presented to the chancellor, he could not have
returned any Latin, for he understood it not.' After the said
order was read, and he seated among the doctors, another
■was produced, by virtue of which he was to be vicechau-

' [No more than a boric Wood, MS. Note in /lthmok.1

ceUor : which being read, he was admitted by sir Nathan.
Brent, as I have before told you, in the beginning of this
year, and thereupon he took his place.*

Apr. 12. Rob. Harris batch, of div. of Magd. Iiall.

The next day he was put into possession of the president's
lodgings of 'Trin. coll. by the breaking open the doors there-
of} a little before which time the old loyal president had
withdrawn himself to avoid imprisonment. Afterwards he
removed his family to the said lodgings, but before they
were setled there three quarters of a jear, the new jiresident
employed a painter to do some work for him, in the week
before that of the act, if one had been solemnized, an. 1649.
Which painter pulling down some old boards or shelves,
found two bags sealed, and a paper in the mouth of each,
which signified that there was an lOO/. in each bag : And
tho' they were covered with dust about half an inch thick,
yet Dr. Harris and his wife (solely addicted to money and
reformation) presently own'd them, and said confidently that
they were theirs ; but, oportet mendacem esse memorem :
For first he had not been setled in his lodgings scarce 3 quar-
ters of a year, and the bags were so old and overcovered with
dust, as if they had lain there 40 years. Secondly, his wife
said at first that they were left there by a friend, who desir'd
her to lay them up, but she refused to take any charge of
them, yet he told her he would leave them, and so hid them
in that place where the painter found them. Thirdly, on
better consideration, Dr. Harris said that he himself laid
them there, and that it was money lie designed for his daugh*
ters : And tho' no man believed him, yet he aver'd it verbo
sacerdotis. This money being most probably left by Dr.
Ralph Kettle, sometimes president (who died in 1643) was
claimed by his executor, who, or Mr. Fanshaw Kettle for
him, went to Dr. Harris, and desired of him to see the bags,
for he knew his uncle's seal and hand-writing, but the old
gentleman who had the money in possession, would neither
shew bags, or seal, or writing ; which was a manifest argu-
ment that they were none of his. For first, if the bags were
of his sealing and subscribing, why did he not shew them to
convince people, or what need he to have feared to shew his
own hand and seal ? Secondly, if they were not of his seal-
ing, why did he swear they were his ? All these passages do
manifestly shew that the money was not his but another
man's, as indeed all people did think so, it being then the
common discourse of town and country, and could not be
convinc'd to the contrary. Doubtless if it had been his, Will.
Durham his kinsman, author of the said Dr. Harris his life,
would have made mention of, and vindicated the doctor in
it, as in other matters of smaller account he hath done. A
little before this discovery, was another made by the new
president and fellows of Magd. coll. of I'lOO/. in old gold or
spurroyals, by the breaking open ,a chest in their treasury,
which, tho' originally deposited there by the founder, pro
litibus & placitis defendendi.s, (so 'tis said in the statutes of
that house) etiam pro possessionibus si opus fuerit ampliori-
bus acquirendis, & pro rejientinis (quod absit) incendiis &
minis maneriorum, &c. yet up<in pretence of knowing no
such statute, they shared the said sum of money among
them. Hen. Wilkinson senior, one of the visitors, and then
vicepresident of the coll. being the chief man that promoted
that affair.'' And in the next week following (in July) Dr.
Reynolds the vicechancellor and the two proctors, whose

have broken open IJodley s ( best, hut being di.s.siiiuled by Mr.
John House the chii-f library keeper, who luid liilely a key
thereof, and bad told and assur'd tlieni that nothinj^ was
therein, they forbore. 'I'he next day also cunie one of the
new Saviliun professors, scarce warm in liis place, I mean
him, who before had been a witness ' against archbishop
Laud, ill order to bring him to his tryal, and consequently
to the block, and the same who was successively a preacher
up of treason and rebellion in two churches in London in the
time of the presbyterian rebellion : I say that he, with Ralph
Button can. of Ch. Ch. his guide, and a poor-spirited person,
did go to the same Mr. Rouse for the key of sir Hen. Savile's
chest, but after they knew he had it not, and that there was
no money in it, they did not break it open, tho' they said
they would, and came for that purjK)se. These things I am
the more punctual to relate, that the world might know, that
the said persons, who call'd themselves the saints of God,
minded more and sought after the bread, livelihood, being,
and money of other persons, than reformation, which they,
according to ordinance and their own consciences, ought to
have done.

Of the first is large mention made among the writers
under the year 1662. The other, whose Christian name I
cannot yet recover, was an obscure man, a covenanter, and
one that was lately possest of a rich benefice belonging to a
loyal person ejected.
[68] Edward Corbet master of arts of Mert. coll. was created

the same day. He was born at Pontsbury in Shropshire,

of the ancient family of the Corbets in that county, was ad-
mitted probationer fellow of the said coll. 1624, took the de-
grees in arts, became one of the proctors of the university,
an. 1638, married Margaret the daughter of sir Nathan.
Brent, turn'd with the times, being always puritannically af-
fected, made one of the assembly of divines, and a preacher
before the long parliament. " Whereas he had been a suitor

L. . . . Harding rector of Brinkworth in Wilts.

The first of these two was about the same time put into
actual possession of a canonry of Ch.Ch. by the visitfirs, (in
the place of Dr. Rich. Gardiner ejected) according to an
order of pari, bearing date in the beginning of Mar. l647.
This person, when he usually preached at St. Mary's this
year, before his majesty was beheaded, he woidd in his long
prayer before sennon desire that God would open the king's
eyes to lay to heart all the blood that he ha<l spilt, &c. that
he would prosper the parliament and their ble^.wd proceed-
ings, he. He was a person of most reverend aspect, yet of
no parts, only had a plain way of preaching to please wonnen
and ignorant people. He was an easy man, and apt to be
guided by the persuasions of others, and therefore by Chey-
nell and Wilkinson seniors, two violent and impetuous prea*
byterians, he was put into the roll of visitors, mecrly to
make a nose of wax of him. The other, .... Harding was
a most violent presbyterian, an indefatigable preacher against
the king and his cause, and because he would not conform
after his majesty's restoration, tho' courted to it, he was
turned out of his rectory.

This year the generality of the heads of houses, professors
and lecturers, doctors and batch, of divinity, masters and
batchelors of arts, undergraduats, beadles, college-servants,
and sometimes bedniakers, and scrapers of trenchers, to the
number of several hundreds, were thrown out of their re-
spective places, and soon after banished the university by th6
visitors, for not submitting to their power from parliament
and acknowledging their covenant, &<;.

Chancellor.

Philip Eakl op Pemb. and Mo.vtgomerv, who dying at
the Cock-pit near Whitehall, on the 23d of January this
3'ear, was buried in the cathedral church at Salisbury among
the graves of those of his family on the 8th of Febr. follow-
ing: From which time till Jan. ensuing, the chancellor's
place lay void. Soon after the said earl's death came out
against him several satyrical prints, among which were, (1),
His last Will and Testament, printed in one sheet in fol.
(2) Pembroke's Passjrom Oxford to his Grave. 'Tis a poem
printed on one side of a sheet of paper, and hath this begin-
ning, ' Hence mountebank of honour, hence away,' &c. At
the end is his epitaph. (3) The Life and Death of Philip
Herbert, the late iiifamous Knight of Berkshire, once Earl of
Pembroke and Montgom. <^c. having by a degenerate Baseness
betrayed his Nobility, and entered himself a Cotnmoner amongtt
the very Scum of the People. Printed in one sheet in qu. by
way of interlude, with poetry.

VicC'chancellor.

Edw. Reynolds D. D. dean of Ch, Ch. was re-admitted
Aug. 30, having been nominated a little before by the chaa-
cellor.

Proctors.

C John Maudit of Exet. coll.
Apr. 4. 1 HiBBOME Zanchy of AU-s. coll.
The last was elected contrary to the Caroline cycle, be-
cause it did appoint Queen's coll. to join with the said coll.
of Exeter ; but so it was that that coll. being not in a capa-
city of yielding a person zealous and suitable to the times,
[69] the members of AU-s. therefore did chuse, by recommenda-
tions of the committee and visitors, one of their number
lately made fellow thereof, but whether incorporated M. of
A. as he stood in another university, it appeals not in the
public register, and therefore what 1 have to say of him shall
be set down here. This Hierome Zanchy, who was born of
a genteel family, was bred in Cambridge, but being more
given to manly exercises than logic and philosophy', he was
observed by his contemporaries to be a boisterous fellow at
cudgelling and foot-ball- playing, and indeed more fit in all
respects to be a rude soldier than a scholar or man of polite
parts. In the beginning of the rebellion, he threw off his
gown, and took up arms for the parliament, and soon after
became a captain, a presbyterian, an independent, a preacher,
and I know not what. When the war was ceased, and the
king's cause declined, he obtained a fellowship of AU-s. coU.
from the committee and visitors, and was the first, or senior,
of those many, that were by them put into the said coll. in
the places of loyalists ejected by them an. 1648, and 49. But
before he had served the least part of his proctorship (about
a month only) he returned to his military employment, went
in the quaUty of a commander into Ireland to fight against
those that were then called rebels ; and doing good service,
in short time was made a colonel of a regiment of horse, and
as a colonel he had 474/. 10s. per an. for his salary, besides
other advantages. In l651 and 52, I find him commander
in chief of the parliament forces in the county of Ti pperary,
where, as those of his party said, he did exceUent service for
the cause, being then a thorough-pac'd anabaptist ; and in
1634, he, with Joh. Reynolds commissary general, were
elected knights for the counties of Tipperary and Waterford
to serve in the parliament that assembled at Dublin ' that
year. In 1658, being then a knight by the favour of Hen.
Cromwell, he was, by the endeavours of col. Charles Fleet-
wood a pitiful anabaptist and son-in-law to Ol. Cromwell,
chosen burgess for Woodstock in Oxfordshire to serve in
Richard's parliament that began at Westm. 27 Jan. that
year ; at which time living much, as he had done some time
before, in the house of the said Fleetwood in Westminster,
did often hold forth in conventicles among the anabaptigts.
It was observed then that he was a dull man, as indeed he
was ab origine, for by his rebaptization when he went into
Ireland, and his herding among the anabaptists, he did im-
prove it to the purpose, otherwise had lie continued among
the presbyterians or independents, who were accounted a
more ingenious sort of people, he might have improved him-
self perhaps in something of ingenuity. Under this person's
name was published, (1) ^ Sermon on 1 John. 2. 18. &c.
printed in oct. but when I know not, for I have not yet seen
it. (2) Speech in Parliament in Dublin, printed in sir Will.
Petty's book entit. Re/lections upon some Persons and Things
in Ireland, &c. p. 70, 71. &c. It is a most rude and non-
sensical thing, and only fit to be read to make people laugh
at the absurdity of the person. See more in sir Will. Petty

among the writers, an. 1687, where you'll find this Zanchy
to concern himself much, meerly out of envy, against that
curious and polite gentleman. What otlter tilings he hath
extant I cannot teU, nor any thing else of him, only that he
died in Ireland about the latter end of king Charles 11. as I
have been informed by those that knew him.

formation of the university and visitors.

Masters of Arts.

April 11. Edw. Hicks of Oriel coll. Whether he had

taken the degree of batch, of arts in this univ. it appears not.
See more of him among the created doctors of div. l660.

28. Joii. BiLLiNOSLEY of C. C. coU. THs person, who

was lately made fellow of the said coll. by the visitors, was
afterwards a writer and publisher of several books, and is
now, or at least was lately, living a conformist in Derby-
shire ; and therefore he is to be remembred hereafter among
the writers.

June 25. WiLL.FiNMORB of Ch. Ch. He was installed

archdeacon of Chester on the 6th of March 1666, having
been a little more than half a year before made prebendary
of the cathedral church there. He died in the beginning of
1686, and was succeeded in his archdeaconry by John Allen
M. A. fellow of Trin. coll. in Cambridge, and chaplain to
Dr. Pearson B. of Chester, and author of one or more sermons
that are extant.

July 14. Rob. Wood of Mert. coll. He was afterwards

made fellow of that of Line, by the visitors.

21. Samuel Laoyman of C. C. coll. He was the son

of John Ladyman of Dinton in Bucks, became a poor scholar
or servitor of the said coll. in Lent term l642, aged I7
years, and in 1648 submitting to the authority of the visitors,
he was by them made that year fellow thereof, in a Lincoln-
shire place. Soon after he became a frequent preacher in
these parts, and being a noted person among the presby-
terians he received a call, and forthwith went into Ireland,
and was benefic'd there. He hath published The dangerous
Rule, Sermon preached at Clonmel in the Province of Mun-
ster in Ireland before ike Judges ; on 2 Sam. ig. 2Q. Lond.
1658. in tw. and perhaps other things, which is all I know
of him.

■ Nov. 24. Henry Chapman of Magd. hall. Thisbatche-

Jor, who was well advanc'd in years, was admitted mast, by
order of the presb. delegates of the university, who were
well satisfied with the testimonial letters of John Wallis the
matheniatic ])rofessor, written in his behalf to them, wherein
he doth abundantly commend the said Chapman's ingenuity,
industry and knowledge in various tongues.

Dec. 13. Thom. Cakeles of Ball. coll. He was the

son of Philip Careles of Lothbury near the Royal Exchange
in London, became a student of the said coll. in the begin-
ning of the year l640, aged 15 years, and was afterwards
scholar and fellow, and in the last year did submit, as I
conceive, to the power of the visitors. In 1651, being then
esteemed an ingenious man, as indeed he was, he was made

'choice of to be terrae filius with Will. Levinz of St. John's
coll, to speech it in the act celebrated that year, being the
first act that was kept after the presbyterians had taken pos-
session of the university, and soon after, having obtained
the name of a florid preacher among the remnant of the
royalists in the university by his preaching often in St. Al-

[ date's church, he was preferr'd to be rector of Bamsley, and
afterwards to be vicar of Cirencester, in Glocestershire. He
hath published A Sermon preached at the Cuth. Ch. in Glo-
cester on St. George's Day, on which Day his Majesty inns
solemnly croxun'd; on Psal. 21. 3. Lond. 1661. qu. What
other things he hath published I know not, nor any thing

else of him, only that he dying 7 Octob. 1675, was buried in
his church at Cirencester.

Mar. 11. Edm. Hall of Pembr. coll.

14. Henry Hickman of Magd. coll.

The last was originally of Cambridge, whence going to
Oxon, when batchelor of arts, he entred himself into Magd.
hall, and in l648 was made fellow of Magd. coll. by the
visitors. He was afterwards a noted writer, a person of
great repute among those of the presbyterian per.'suasion, and
is now living in Holland, and 'therefore to be remembre<l
hereafter among Oxford writers.

Admitted 39, or thereabouts.

Batchelor of Physic.

Not one was admitted, only three created, and one incor-
porated.

The famous mountebank of his time called Joh. Punt«us
an Italian, and a famous physician, who, for many years be-
fore this, had exercised his art in several places within this
kingdom, had license given to him to practise chirurgery
throughout all England, Nov.- 16. After his maj. restoration
he lived at Salisbury, and died rich and full of years.

Kf Not one batch, of div. or doct. of law was admitted,
only created and incorporated, as I shall tell you by and by.

Doctors of Physic.

June 8. Francis Barksdale of Magd. coll. This

person, who was lately miide fellow of that coll. by the vi-
sitors, was then admitted by the favour of Fairfax the gen.
and Cromwell the lieut. gen. lately at Oxon, but with this
condition that he perform all exercise for the said degree,
within a year after his admission.

It was also their pleasure that Will. Hill sometimes of
Mert. coll. might accumulate the degrees of batch, and doct.
of physic, but whether he did so, it appears not.

July 14. Daniel Malden M. of A. of Qu. coll. in Cambr.
who had studied physic 7 years at least, and had read his
solemn lectures in the school of medicine, was then admitted
by virtue of the letters of the chancellor of this university,
which say that he was recommended to him by the lord

general that he had improved his studies by travelling

abroad that he is affected to the cause, and that he hath

engaged himself and shed blood for the parliament, &c.

Oct. 30. Gideon CHABR.ffi;us * a student in phys. (com-
mended to the chief members of the university with great
elogies) who had learnedly and laudably performed his ex-»
ercise for the degree of doct. of physic, was then admitted in
the house of convocation 1 find one Dr. Shawbry a phy-
sician of Cambridge to have been buried in the church of St.
Peter in the East in Oxon, 22 Nov. 1 643 , but what relation
there was between him and the former I caunot tell, becaufw:
their names differ.

admitted without scios or deponents for his abilities, because

there wanted doct. of div. to do tliat office. He resigned

his principality into the hands of Oliver the protector, an.
1657, lived many years after obscurely (yet rich) in Oxon,
and dying in the parish of St. Peter in the East 3 May 1679,
was buried in the yard belonging to tliat church, close to
the wall, under the upper window of the body of the ch.

The incorporations this year were mostly of Cambridge
men, who came to Oxford for preferment from the committee
and visitors.

This person, who did not go to Oxon for preferment,

as I conceive, because 1 find him not fellow of any house
there, was afterwards batch, of div. and rector of North Cad-
bury in Somersetshire by the gift of the master and society
of his coll. about 16.56. Among several things that he hath

July 14. Lewis du Moulin doct. of physic of the uni-
versity of Leyden (incorporated in the same degree at Cam-
bridge, 10 Oct. 1634,^) was incorporated in the same degree

at Oxon. This person, who was a French man born, and

the son of the famous Peter du Moulin a French protectant,
was lately establish'd Camden's professor of history in this
university by the committee of parliament for the reforma-
tion thereof. After the restoration of his majesty, he was
turned out of his professorship by his majesty's commis-
sioners, for the regulating of the university : whereupon re-
tiring to the city of Westminster, lived there a most violent
nonconfurmist. The books that he hath written are these

cincts of the church of St. Paul in Covent Garden, within
the liberty of Westminster, in the parish of which he had
before lived several years.

Creations.

The creations this year were made in all faculties, espe-
cially in that creation called by some the Fairfaxian crejition,
that is, that creation which was made when the lord Fairfax
generalissimo of the pari, army and his lieut. gen. Cromwell
were created doctors of law, and when others afterwards
were created by the said general's nomination when he was
entertained by the then members of the university.

Batchelors of Arts.

May 19. Robert Scrope, lately made fellow of Line,
coll. by the visitors, was then actually created batch, of arts,
being done in the same convocation that Fairfax and Crom-
well were created doctors of the civil law, as I shall tell you
by and by. He was a younger son of Adrian Scrope of
Wormesley in Oxfordshire esq; sometimes a gent. com. of
Hart hall, and afterwards a noted puritan, which made him
take up arms for the blessed cause in the beginning of the
presbyterian rebellion ; in which being first a captain was at
length a colonel of a regiment of horse. \A'hen K. Ch. I. of
ever blessed memory was tried for his life by a pack of hell-
hounds, this jjcrson " Adrian Scrope" sate and was one of
his judges in that dismal tragedy, and afterwards signed the
bloody warrant for severing his head from his body. Just
after his majesty's restoration sir Rich. Browne (soon after
elected lord mayor of Lond.) did accidentally meet him in
the speaker's chamber, (to whom, I suppose, he came to
surrender himself upon his maj. proclamation) and when the
said sir R. Browne was acquainted who he was, he drew up,
and said to him. What a sad case have we brought this
kingdom unto ? Whereupon Scrope answcr'd Why ? Saith
Browne then, Do you not see how it is ruined, now the king
is muithered ? &c. To which Scrope made answer, 1 will
not make you my confessor, or words to the same effect. All
which being witnessed against him at liis tryal, as words to
justify what he had done, Browne being then lord mayor
elect, were the chief cause of his execution, otherwise, as
'twas then thought, he would only have suffered perpetual
imprisonment and the loss of his estate, as many others of
the same gang did. He suffer'd by hanging, (hawing and
quartering, with Tho. Scot, Greg. Clement and Joh. Jones,
at Charing Cross on the 17th of Oct. I66O: whereupon his
quarters were not hanged up as others were, but gi\ en to his
relations to be buried. His death was then much pitied by
many, because he was a comely person, beg'd the jirayers of
all good people, and that he was of a noble and antient fa-
mily, being descended from the Scropes barons of Bolton.
After his death were printed under his name his Speech and
Prayer spoken at the Gallows.

Balchelors of Law.

June 5. Unton Croke a captain in the pari, army was
then created by virtue of a dispensation from the delegates

of the university. This person, who was son of Unton

Croke of Merston near 0.\on, counsellor at law (deacended
from the antient family of the Crokes of Chilton in Bucks,)
had been made a captain or at least a lieutenant for his veu-
trous service done in seizing on and carrying away with his
party (to Abingdon garrison where he was a soldier) many
horses belonging to the royalists of Oxford garrison, while
they were grazing in the meadows joyning on the east side
to Magd. coll. He was afterwards a major, and in 1658
made high sheriff of Oxfordshire by Richard and his council,
and soon after a colonel of a regiment of horse. This is the
gentleman, who became infamous to the royalists and all
true generous hearts for his falsness in denying and break-
ing the articles which he had made with the truly loyal col.
J oh. Penruddock when he and his party were taken by him
and his at South Molton in Devonshire, 15 March i654,
(after they had retreated from Salisbury where they first rose)
at which time they endeavour'd, but in vain, to redeem the
kingdom from slavery and tyranny. For this service done
by Croke, his father was called to the degree of Serjeant at
law by Oliver, by a writ bearing date 21 of Junt following,
and he himself, if I mistake not, to that of major of a reg.
of horse. After his majesty's restoration, when he and his
reg. were disbanded, he was shun'd and hated by gentlemen
and royalists where he abode, whether in Devonshire, (from
whence he married his wife) at Cheddington in Bucks, in
Oxford, or at the Wick in the parish of Hedington near Oxon,
or elsewhere. " On Dec. 31. 1661, one Unton Croke was
" seiz'd on and committed to the Gate-House as being

" suspected to be in a plot." He is now, or at least was

lately, living in a gouty condition, at or near London. He
has a younger brother named Charles Croke sometimes com.
of Ch: Ch. who, after he had taken many rambles, been a
soldier and seen the vanities of thejvorld, published Youth's
Unco7istancy, &c. Lond. I667, oct.'

Dec. 18. Rob. King lately made fellow of All-s. coll. by
the visitors, was created by virtue of an order from the dele-
gates of the university. This person, who was a younger

son of sir Rob. King knt. commissary of the musters in Ire-
land in the time of the lord lieut. Hen. Cromwell, was after
his majesty's restoration made a baronet, and elected several
times a pari, man in that kingdom. He had an elder brother
called Henry who was also made fellow of All-s. coll. by the
visitors, and another elder than he named John, who was by
king Charles II. made baron of Kingston in the same king-
dom.

Jan. 18. Peter Pett of All-s. coll. was admitted by virtue
of an order from the said delegates.

Besides the three before-mention'd, Rowl. Hunt who
had been lately made fellow of the said coll. was created also

Vol. IV.

this year, which is all I know of him, only that he was a
Salopian born.

Matters of Arts.

Those that were created this year masters of arts, were
mostly officers that attended Fairfax the general and Crom-
well his lieut. gen. to Oxon, when they were invited thither
by the then members of the university, to see what a godly
reformation the committee and visitors had made therein.

May 19. Sir Hahukess Waller knt. was the first that
was presented by Zanchy the junior proctor : which being
done, he was conducted up to Cromwell (just before pre-
sented to the degrees of Dr. of the civil law) sitting on the
left hand of him that then held the chancellor's chair (Dr.
Chr. Rogers deput. vice-chanc.) and with due ceremony was

seated on his left side. This person was son and heir of

George Waller of Groombridge in Kent esq; by Mary his
wife daugh. of Rich. Hardress esq; relict of sir Will. Ashen-
den knt. (which George was elder brother to sir Thom.
Waller, father of sir V\ill. Waller, lately one of the pari,
generals, mention'd among the writers, an. 1668.) and mar-
rying with the daugh. and co-heir of sir Joh. Dowdall or
Dovedallof Limerick in Ireland knt. enjoyed fair inheritances
by her, and spent most of his time, there. In the beginning
of the grand rebellion he was a royalist in opinion, but with
the more gainfuller times he turn'd presbyterian, and at
length a strong independent, and thereupon he was made a
committee-man, and afterwards a colonel of horse. He had
been lately one of the judges of king Charles 1. and sate
when sentence past upon him for his decollation ; for which
service he was afterwards made major gen. of the army in
Ireland: where continuing till the revolution of affairs
brought monarchy again into England, he did, upon the is-
suing out of the king's proclamation, surrender himself to
mercy ; whereupon being brought to his tryal, for having a
hand in the murther of the said prince, he shewed very great
reluctancy for what he had done, and was thereupon con-
veyed from his prison in the Tower to the isle of Wight,
there to continue during his life, an. 1660, aged 56 years.
^Vhether he was afterwards removed thence I cannot tell,
nor where he died.

May 19. Colonel Tho. Harrison was presented next by

Zanchy, and conducted by him on the other side. This

person, who was the son of a butcher or grazier of Newcastle
under line in Staffordshire, was, after he had been educated
in some grammar learning, placed with one Hulke or Hulker
an attorney, of Cliffords inn, and when out of his time, be-
came a kind of pettifogger as 'tis said ; but finding little •
profit thence, he betook himself, from the pen, to the sword
in the parliament army when they first raised a rebellion
against their king; and having a tongue well hung, he did,
by his enthusiastical preaching and great pretence to piety,
so far insinuate himself with the deluded army, that he pass'd
from one command to another till he attained to be a major
and a great confident of Oliver Cromwell, and so conse-
quently his close friend in breaking the presbyterian faction
in both houses, in depriving n of thei' :g, and at
length in bringing him to the bio-. l >e particulars

it doth appear. First, he was the persoi Ued by Oliver,

or at least the adjutators of the army, to go to Hurst castle
where the king was prisoner, to the end that he should in-
form the governour thereof that he deliver his majesty up to
a party of horse that should be ready to receive him, in order
to his conveyance to Windsor castle, and so to Westminster
to be tried. This was by Harrison done about the 15th of

132

Dec. 1648, for on the 21st following he was conveyed thence
towards Windsor. See more in Jam. Harrington among the
writers, an. IO77. Secondly, that after his mjijesty had left
Hurst castle and was conveyed from Milford, three miles
distant thence, by a party of the rel)els horse to Winchester
and thence to Alton and so to Alrcsfonl, this major Harrison
appeared in the head of another party between that place and
Famham to the end that lie might bring up the rear. His
party was drawn up in good order, by which his majesty
was to pass, and the major in the head of them gallantly
mounted and armed, with a velvet montier on his head, and
a new buff-coat on his back, with a crimson silk scarf about
his waist richly fringed. The king as he passed by on horse-
back with an ciisy pace, as delighted to see men well hors"d
and arm'd, the major giive the king a bow with his head.
Alia soldad, which his majesty requited. This was the first
time that the king saw the major ; at which time Tho. Her-
bert groom of the bedchamber (from whom I had this story)
riding a little behind the king, his majesty call'd him to
come near and ask'd him who that captain was, and being
by him told that it was major Harrison, the king viewed
him more narrowly and fix'd his eyes so steadily ujwn him,
as made the major abashed and fall back to his party, sooner
than probably he intended. The king said he looked like a
soldier and that his aspect was good, and found him not such
a one as was represented ; and that, having judgment in
faces, if he had observed him so well before, he should not
have harbour'd that ill opinion of him, for oft times the
spirit and disposition may be discerned in the countenance.
That night the king got to Famham, where he was lodged
in a private gentleman's house in the town, (the castle there
being then a garrison for the parliament) and a little before
supper his majesty standing by the fire in a large wainscoted
parlour, and in discourse with the mistress of the house, the
king (notwithstanding the room was pretty full of army
officers and country people that crowded in to have a sight
of him) did at length see the major at the farther end of the
parlour talking with another officer : whereupon beckoning
to him with his hand to come nearer, he did so accordingly
with due reverence : and his majesty taking him by the arm,
drew him aside towards the window, where for half an hour
or more they did discourse together. Among other things
the king minded him of the information that he had received
concerning the murder that he intended on him in the isle of
Wight; which, if true, rendred him an enemy in the worst
sense to his person. The major, in his vindication, assured
his majesty that what was reported of him was not true, yet
he might report that the law was equally oliliging to great
and small, and that justice had no respect to persons, or
words to that purpose ; which his majesty finding affectedly
spoken and to no good end, he left off farther communication
with him, and went to supper, being all the time very
pleasant, which was no small rejoycing to many there, to
see him so cheerful in that company and in such a dolorous
condition. Thirdly, that when his majesty went thence to
Bagshot and there dined in the lord Newburgh's house, the
said major ordered centries to be set at every door where he
was ; and after dinner when he conveyed him to Windsor he
appointed several of his officers to ride close to the king,
least he'should make ' an escape from them. Fourthly, that
after the king had continued at Windsor for some days keep-
ing his last, but very sad, Christmas, he conveyed him in a
coach thence to St. James's, in order to his tryal ; at which

" An exact and 'impartial Accmmt of the Indiclment, Arraignment, Tryal and
Judgment o/i9 Rrgkidei, &c, Lond. 1660, qu. p. 46.

time Harrison was with him in the said coach, with his*
head covered, talked with little or no revt'rence to him : and
when the king proposed to him — What do they intend to do
with me ? whether to murther me or not ? the major made
answer' — that there was no intention to kill him, we have no
such thoughts, yet the lord hath reserved you for a public
example of justice, &c. Fifthly. 'J'hat when the king was
to be brought to his tryal, there was a conmiittee sate in the
exchequer chamber, at which the major being present, he
used these* expressions before them, gentlemen, it will be
good for us to blacken him, (meaning his msgesty) what
we can, pray let us blacken him, or words to that purpose.
Sixthly, that he was one of the hellish crew that sate publicly
in judgment on his majesty, when he was by them tried for
his life in Weslmin. hall, was there when sentence passed
for his decollation, and stood up, as the rest did, as con-
senting thereunto, and did afterwards set his hand to the
bloody warrant for his execution, &c. For these his services
he was soon after made a colonel, and at length a msyor
general, and on the 24th of Nov. l652 he was one of those
that were elected to be members of the council of state.
While he was major gen. and in favour with Oliver, the
principality of Wales was appointed to he under his com-
mand, where the then laws appointed were by him put in
full force. No orthodox minister could there be suffered,
but whom he pleased to allow ; and with the assistance of
his chaplain Vav. Powell (a giddy-headed person and second
brother to Hugh Peters) he endeavoured the modelling of [77]
that country, so as that none but their own proselytes should
teach and instruct the people, &c. At length he perceiving
full well that Cromwell gaped after the government by a
single person, he with great scorn and indignation left him,
and became the ring-leader of all the schismatics, especially
of that dangerous party called the fifth-monarchy men, and
great with Joh. Lilbourne as mad as he. Whereupon Crom-
well to be quit with him, committed him to sate custody,
and put him out of all commission. Afterwards he was set
at liberty, but committed again and again upon every
suspicious account, and in Feb. 1657 he was re-baptized pur-
posely to gain the anabaptists to his party. At length en-
gaging himself with maj. gen. John Lambert newly escaped
from his prison in the Tower, to raise forces against the
king, who was then voiced in most parts of the nation to be
returning from exile to take possession of his kingdom, he
was snapt in the very point of time, wherein he intended to
have headed a party, and was conveyed prisoner to the Tower
of London for the same. After his majesty's restoration a
greater matter being Laid to his charge, viz. of having a very
deep and signal hand in the murder of his prince, his im-
prisonment was made more close. At length being conveyed
thence to Newgate, and so to Hicks's hall, and afterwards
to the Sessions-house in the Old Bayly, was, after a long
tryal, condemned to dye for the same 11 Oct. 1660, and
thereupon was sent to the said prison of Newgate. On the
13th of the same month, he was conveyed thence on a hurdle,
guarded by a troop of horse and some of the trained bands
to tiie rail'd place where Charing Cross stood ; within which
railes a gibbet was set up on purpose, whereon he was
hanged, with his face towards the banquetting house at
Whitehall, where the pretious and innocent blood of king
Charles ]. was spilt by the said Harrison and the rest of the
bloody regicides. When he was half hang'd, he was cut

down, his bowela burned, his head severed from his body,
and his quarters carried back on the same hurdle to New-
gate, to be dispos'd at his majesty's pleasure.* On the l6th
of the same month his head was set on Westminster-hall,

of the garrison of Oxon, was also tlien presented master by
proctor Zanchy, and by him conducted to the otlier oilicers

just before presented, sitting in the doctor's seats. Tliis

person, who was the second son of sir Rich. Ingoldesbie of
Lethenborough in Buckiiighamshire knt. by Elizabeth his
wife, daughter of sir Oliver Cromwell of Hinchingbrook in
Huntingdonshire, was born of a good family at Lethen-
borough, educated in the free school at Thame, (as the rest
of his brethren were) founded by Job. lord Williams, and
being a stout young man " when the ci\il war began, he
betook himself, by the persuasions of his puritanical parents,
to the parliament cause, was a captain in col. John llambden's
regiment, when he first of all appeared in arms against his
majesty, and in short time after he was made, by the
endeavours of his kinsman Oliver Cromwell (afterwards pro-
tector) a colonel of horse, and at length by his allurements
one of the judges of the said king in that bloody court called
the high court of justice ; where he was present and stoo<l
up as consenting when sentence passed for his decollation,
and afterwards set his hand to the warrant for his execution.'

s [Harrison was the first who suifered. He was a fierce and bloody
enthusiast, and it was believed, that while the army was in doubt, whether it
was fitter to kill the king privately, or to bring him to an open trial, that he
offered, if a private way was setled on, he would be tlie man who should do
it: so he was begun with. He was a man of great heat and resolution,
fix'd in his principles, and so persuaded of them, that he had nevtr look'd
after any interests of his own, but had opposed Cromwell when he set
up for himself. He went thro* all the indignit es and sirverities u( his
execution, in which the letter of the law, in cases of treason, was punctually
observed, with a calmness, or rather u chearfuhitss, that astonished the spec-
tators. He spoke very positively, that what they had done was the cause
and work of God, which he was confident God would own and raise up
again, how much soever it suffered at that time. AJACRO.j

" [Tis true lugoldsby was named amongst those who were appointed to
be judges of the king, and it is as true that he was never unce present with
them, always abhorring the action in his heart, and having no other passion
in any part of the quarrel, but his personal kindness to Cromwell. The
next day after the sentence, he had an occasion to speak with an officer, « lio,
as he was told, was in the painted cliamber; where, when he came thither,
he saw Cromwell, and the rest of those who had sat upon the king, and were
then, as he found afterwards, assembled to sign the warrant for the king's
death. As soon as Cromwell's eyes were upon him, he ran to him, and taking
him by the hand, drew him by force to the table, and said, tlio' he had es-
caped him all the while before, he should now sign that paper, as well as they :
which he, seeing w hat it was, refused with great passion, saying he knew no-
thing of the busuiess; and offer'd to go away. But Cromwell and others
held hini by violence, and Cromwell, with a loud laughter, taking his hand
in his, and putting his pen between his fingers, with his own hand writ
' Richard Ingoldsby,' he making all the resistance he could ; and he said, if
his name there was compared with what he had ever writ himself, it could
never be look'd upon as his own hand. Ingoldsby, from the deposal of
Richard, declared that he would serve the king, and told Mr. Mordaunt that
he would perform all services he could, without making any conditions, and
would be well content, that his majesty, when he came home, should take
his head off, if he thought fit ; only he desired the king n/ight know the truth

He was a gentleman of courage and valour, and tho' h«
could neither pray, preach or dissemble, being rather a l)oon
com])anion, yet complying very kindly with Oliver's new
court, and ijeing in his principles for kingshij), he was
reckoned fit to be taken out of the hou.se of commons (having
before been one of the council of st^ite) and to be made a
member of the other hou.se, that is the house of lords by his
cousin the protector; who, aljout that time, committed him
to the Tower (but soon reletised him thence) for Ideating the
honest inn-kee()er of Ailesbury in Whiieliall. In the Ijegin-
ning of the year 1660, when colonel, commonly called major
gen. John Lambert broke 1<h>sc from his prison in the
'lower, (to which he some time before had been committed
by the restored members of the long parliament, least he and
his party should hinder their intended settlement of the
nation) and thereupon had got into the head of a considerable
party of desperate phanaticks near to Daventry in North-
amptonshire, to hinder, if possible it might be, not only the
said settlement hut restoration of the king, he the said colonel
Ingoldesbie did, with hisown regiment and some other troops,
and companies of foot (such as he couUI confide in) draw
towards him, and about the 23d of Apr. making an onset,
took Lambert with his own. hands, while the other prime
officers were taken by others of Ingoldesbie's ))arty, &c.
Whereupon for this his good service, his in.ajesty did not
only spare his life, (as having been one of his father's
judges) but gave order that he should be made knight of the
bath at his coronation, which accordingly was done. After-
wards he retired to Lethenborough, lived several years after
in a quiet repose, and died in the beginning of Sept. l68J>
Before which time his estate at Lethenborough was, as it
was then reported, sold to Eliaiior Gwynn for the use of her
natural son (which she had by king Charles II.) called sir
Charles Heaucleer earl of Burford and afterwards duke of St.
Albans. This col. Ingoldesbie was elder brother to Henry
Ingoldesbie a colonel also in the pari, army, and to Thomas
a captain, &c.

May 19. Coi.oNEL John Hewson a colonel of foot, was
also presented hy proctor Zanchy, and by him conducted to

his place among the other ofliicers. He was sometimes an

honest shoemaker in Westminster, but getting little by that
trade, he, in the beginning of the grand rebellion, went out
a capt. upon the account of the blessed cause, was very zeal-
ous for it, fought on stoutly, and in time became a colonel.
When king Charles I. was by the godly brethren brought to
tryal for his life, he sate as one of the judges, consented to
the sentence passed upon him, and sealed itnd subscribed
the warrant for his execution. Afterwanls for his said
service he became governour of Dublin, one of tlie council of
state in July l653, a member of the Little or Barebones par-»
liament held the same year (and of all the parliaments since,
before his majesty's restoration) a knight also of the new
stamp, and at length one of Oliver's lords to have a negative
voice in the other house. Upon an infallible foresight of the
turn of the times, he conveyed himself away into Holland,
to save his neck, and soon after died, and was buried at
Amsterdam, about l6d2, as the vulgar report went at that
time.

Colonel John Okey was another great officer that was
then also presented by proctor Zanchy, May 19, and by him

of his case. The king before his return would never send him any assurance of
pardon, but Ingoldsby was not to be disheartened at this, but pursued his
io: mor resolutions, and first surprizM the castle of Windsor (whf-i* tliere
was a great magazine of arms and ammunition) and put out that g<jvernour
whom the rump had put in ; and afterwards took Lambert prisoiicr.J

conducted to the rest His parentage was as mean as his

calling, liaving been originally as 'tis supposed a dray-man,
afterwards a stoaker in a brew-house at Islington near
London, and then a poor chandler near Lyon-key in Thame-
street in London. At length changing his apron for a buff-
coat, he became, thro' certain military degrees, a colonel of
dragoons, and by the artifice of Cromwell, had, unknown to
him, his name inserted among the king's judges, and so con-
sequently was by him appointed to sit among that diabolical
crew ; which if he refused to do, he knew full well it would
displease Cromwell much, and in the end contract prejudice
against him. This fellow, who was of greater bulk than
brains, and of more strength than wit or conscience, left
Cromwell when he saw that he aimed at the ofBce of a single
person, sided with the anab. and fifth-monarchy-men, and
thereupon was committed to custody for a time, and his
regiment taken from him and given to a great creature of
Oliv. called Charles lord Howard, afterwards earl of Carlisle.
At length upon a foresight of the return of monarchy, he fled
into Holland, and selling at Delft in a very timorous condi-
tion under the name of Frederick Williamson, (because his
father's name was William) with Miles Corbet and John
Barkstead two other regicides (the last of which went by the
name of John Harman) they were all seized upon in the
b^inning of March IfJOl, by the forward endeavours of sir
George Downing his majesty's envoy or resident at the
Hague, by order from the states, they being then in an ale-
house. Soon after they were sent to England in the Blacka-
more frigot, and upon their arrival were committed prisoners
to the Tower of London. Afterwards being conveyed to the
King's-Bench bar at Westminster hall to know what they
could say for themselves why execution should not pass
upon them, they were returned to the Tower again ; and on
the 19th of April i66'i were all conveyed thence, each in a
sledge, to Tyburn, and there hang'd, drawn and quarter'd.
Afterwards Okey's quarters were, instead of being liang'd on
several gates of the city of London, permitted by his ma-
jesty's order to be inter'd by his relations, because he had
behaved himself <lutifully towards him in his last words at
the gallows. Soon after were published their Speeches and
Trayers, together with several Passages at the Time of their
Execution at Tyburn, tvith some due and sober Animadversions
on the said Speeches, Lond. 1662, in 5 sh. in qu. and A

Geor. Downing as a revolter from their cause, as indeed lie
was, which afterwards was his advancement. He was then
a member of that pari, which began at Westm. the 8th of
May 1661, wherein acting much to the great dislike of those
that took themselves to be the honest party of the house,
had this* character given of him, ' Sir Geor. Downing a
poor chUd, bred upon charity, like Judas betray'd his master :
What can his country expect ? He drew, and advised, the
oath of renouncing the king's family, and took it first him-
self. For his honesty, fidelity, &c. he was rewarded by his
majesty with fourscore thousand poun<ls at least, and is a

He had been a cornet of horse in tlie expedition against the
rebels in Irehuid l6'4i, 42.

Col, Edward Grosvexour quartermaster general of the
said army, was ])resente(l and created M. of A. the same day.

In 1656 he was chose burgess for Westminster, to serve

in that pari, which began the 17th of Sept. the same year, he
being then a favourite of Oliver, and for the same place also
to serve in Richard's parliament, &c.

Miiy 19. Owen Roe scoutmaster general, was also then
created and conducted by proctor Zanchy to the rest of the

officers. He was originally a silk-man, and in the begm-

ning of the rebellion being a violent covenanter, and after-
wards an independent, was by Oliver's interest made a prime
officer (lieu, col. I think) in the militia of London, and be-
came a firebrand in that city, and an enemy to its ancient
civil government. In l648 he was nominated one of the
king's judges, sate on the bench when he was several times
brought before them, stood up as consenting when sentence
was ijassed for severing his head friim his body, and at
length set his hand and seal to the warrant for his execution.
About that time he was made keeper of the magazines and
stores, received 5000/. to buy arms, which I think was never
after accompted for. In 1659 Jul. /, he was constituted
colonel of the militia of the said city by the rump par-
liament, and was then in great favour with them ; but in the
year after when his majesty was restored, and a proclamation
thereupon was issued out for all such persons that had sate
in judgment on king Charles I. to coiue in, he surrendred
himself; so that after his tryal had piissed in the sessions-
house in the Old-Baily, he w.is condemned to perpetual
imprisonment, and his estate confiscated. \Vhat became of
him afterwards I know not, nor any thing else of him, only
that much about the time that he was created M. of A. he
got his son named Sam. Roe to be made fellow of All-s. coll.
by the committee and visitors.

May 19. Colonel William Gough or Goffe was then

also presented by Zanchy, and created M.A. He was the

son of Stephen Goffe rector of Stanmore in Sussex, and
younger brother to Joh. Gdffe mention'd among the writers,
an. 1661, and to Steph. Goffe mention'd in the Fasti, an.
1636. While this William was a youth and averse to all
kind of learning, he was bound an apprentice to one V'aughan
a sailer in London, brother to col. Joseph V^aughan a parlia-
mentarian and a zealous presbyterian ; whose time being
near, or newly out, he betook himself to be a soldier for the
righteous cause, instead of setting up his trade, went out a
quarter-master of foot, and continued in the wars till he forgot
what he had fought for. At length through several military
grades he became a colonel, a fretjuent prayer-maker,
preacher and presser for righteousness and freedom, which
in outward shew was expressed very zealously, and therefore
in high esteem in the parliament army. In 1648 he was one
of the judges of king Charles I. sate in judgment when he
was brought before the high court of justice, stood up as
consenting when sentence passed upon him for his decol-
lation, and afterwards set his hand and seal to the warrant

that very antient family by the late Godfrej- Bosville of Gunthwaite, esq.
(father to colonel Bosville who died in London about two years since) it is
said that he was a Bohemian coui;t, who was forced to quit his country, for
having fought at the battle of Treigue for the elector Palatine. He was a
very ingenious man. He was a major in sir Michael Liveruig's regiment of
fix)t, and afterwards a major of horse in general Fairfax's army under colonel
Ireton, commissary-general. His standard which is painted amongst several
others ma curious collection of Mr. }Iollis, is the sun driving away the clouds

for bis execution. Afterwards, having like his general
(Cromwell) an evil tincture of tliat spirit that loved and
sought after the favour and praise of man, more than that
of God, as by woful experience in both of them it did after-
wards appear, he could not further believe, or persevere
upon that account, but by degrees fell otf from the anti-
monarchical principles of the chief part of the army, and was
the man with col. Will. White, who brought musquetiers,
and turned out the anal)aptistical members that were left
behind of the Little or Barebone's parliament, out of the
house, an. l654. Complying thus kindly with the design
and interest of the said general, he was by him, when made
protector, constituted major general of ilanipshire, Sussex
and Berks, a [ilace of great profit, and afterwards was of
one, if not of two parliaments, did advance his interest
greatly, and was in so great esteem and favour in Oliver's
court, that he was judged the only fit man to have maj. gen.
J.ohn Lambert's place and command, as maj. general of the
army of foot, and by some to have the protectorship setled
on him in future time. He being thus made so considerable
a person, was taken out of the house to be a lord, and to
have a negative voice in the other house, and the rather for
this reason, that lie never in all his life (as he used to say)
fought against any such thing as a single person, or a nega-
tive voice, but only to pull down Charles and set up Oliver,
&c. in which he obtained his end. In \6(j0, a little before
the restoration of king (Charles II. he betook himself to liis
heels to save his neck, without any regard had to his majesty's
proclamation, wandred about, fearing every one that he met
should slay him, and was living at Lausanna in 1664 with
Edm. Ludlow, Edward VVhaley,' and other regicides, when
John L'isle, another of that number, was there by certain
generous royalists dispatch'd. He afterwards lived several
years in vagabondship, hut when he died, or where his car-
cass was lodged, is as yet unknown to me.''

May 19 Major John Hlackmore. He was a burgess

for Tiverton to serve in that parliament call'd by Oliver,
which began at Westminsters Sept. l6.o4. " He was high-
sheriff of Devonshire I(j.i7."

Major .... Bhowne was actually created the same day.
This is all that appears of him in the register ; other-
wise had his Christian name been set down, I might have
been more large upon him.

The aforesaid eleven officers, great favourites of Crom-
well, were presented in masters gowns on one and the same
day by Zanchy before-mention'd, in a convocation held by a
presbyterian dejiuty vicechancellor, presbyterian heads, and
mostly presl)yterian masters, and all actually created masters
of arts and seated in the doctors seats.

then actually created master, but- presented by an ordinary

master. — He was the same person, as 1 conceive, who was

the names of certain other officers read, to be created masters
of arts when they were pleased to come to Oxon to be
entertained. Their names were written in a paper subscrilied
by Fairfax and Cromwell, but whether the contents of that
])apcr were regisired, or that the said officers were created,
it appears not. Two of them, who are noted to posterity for
their great rudeness and impudence towards sacred majesty,
I shall here set down, but the others not, because of little or
no name. The first of these two that I shall speak of, is,

George Joyce an officer of note, a captain as it seems.—
It must be now observed, that when the commissioners
appointed by parliament to treat with the king for peace,
did go to him at Newcastle upon Tyne, to which place the
Scots had conveyed him when he committed his person to
their protection near Newark upon Trent, it was the pleasure
of the pari, that he and the commissioners should be con-
veyed thence to his palace at Holdenby in Northampton-
shire, there to continue during tlie treaty, because it was a
more convenient place for his majesty, and much more near
to London than the former place. On the 3d of Feb. there-
fore, an. 1646, he was conveyed thence by certain forces ap-
pointed liy parliament, and on the l6th of the said month he
arrived at Holdenby w.itli the commissioners, viz. Philip earl
of Pembroke, Basil earl of Denbigh, Etiward lord Mountague
of Boughton, with double their number of some eminent
members of the house of commons, namely sir Jam. Har-
rington, sir John Holland, and sir John Coke baronets, sir
Walter Earle knt. Joh. Crew, esq; and serj. maj. gen. Rich.
Browne. Being all setled there, the treaty went on, with
fair hopes of a conclusion, but by the diabolical ma'hinations
of O. Cromwell and his confederates the adjutators, it was
after this manner dissolved, and the king by force taken
thence. On the 3d of June 1647, h's maj. being in the
afternoon at bowls in the Green at Althorp near Holdenby,
belonging to the lord Spencer earl of Sunderland, it was
whisper'd among the commissioners then there with him,
that a party of horse obscurely headed were marching
towards Holdenby, and for no good it was presumed, in
regard, that neither the commissioners nor colonel Rich.
Greaves (a most confiding presbyterian) who kept the g^ard
at Holdenby, and was an officer in the army, nor the com-
missioners servants had the least notice of it from any officer,
or other correspondent in the army, other than that the
general had removed his head-quarter from St. Edmund's
Bury to Newmarket, when the army entred into an encage-
ment not to suffer themselves to be disbanded, such amotion
having been made by the commons in parliament. Where-
upon his majesty, so soon as he was acquainted with it,
immediately left tiie green, and returned to Holdenby,
where the connuissioners, after consultation had with col;
Greaves, resolved to stand upon their guard ; and accord-
ingly they forthwith doubled their guards for the defence of
his majesty's person ; and serj. maj. gen. Browne, calling
all the soldiers together, acquainted them with the occasion,
who promised to stand by him, and not to suflFer any attempt
on the king's person, or affront on the commissioners, as I
have been informed by one then present on tiie place, whom
I shall anon mention : But the diflference is great 'twixt
saying and doing, as soon appear'd ; for about midnight
came that party of horse, which in good order drew up
before the house or palace at Holdenby, and at all avenues
placed guards. This done, the officer that commanded the
party alighted and demanded entrance : Whereupon Greaves
and Browne asked him his name and business ; he answer'd
his name was Joyce, a cornet in col. Edw. \Vhalley's regi-
ment, and his business was to speak with the king. • From

whom,' saitl they ? ' From my self,' said Joyce, at which
they laughed ; and thereujwn Joyce said, ' 'twas no laughing
matter.' They advised him to (Iraw off his men, and in the
morning he should speak with the commissioners : ' I came
not hither, (said he) to be advised by you, nor have I any
business with the commissioners, my errand is to the king,
and speak with him I must and will presently," &c. They
then bad the soldiers within stand to their arms, and be
ready to fire when order'd : But durin<^ this short treaty
between the cornet and Greaves and Hrowne, the soldiers on
each side had conference together, and so soon as they under-
stood that they were fellow-soldiers of one and the same
army, they quickly forgot what they had promised ; for
they opened the gates and doors, shook one another by the
hand, and bad them welcome, so little regard had they to
their promises, either in reference to the king's safety, or the
commissioners that attended him. Entrance being made,
strict search was made after col. Greaves, who (tlio' fault-
less, yet was it suggested that he would privately have con-
veyed away the king to London) got happily out of their
reach. Sentinels were ordered by Joyce to be set at the
commissioners chambers doors, that he might with less noise
carry on his design, and find way to the back-stairs where
the grooms of his majesty's bedchamber attended. Cornet
Joyce being come unto the door, he in rude manner knock'd :
Those within asked ' who it was that in such an uncivil
[8IJ manner and unseasonable time came to disquiet tlie king's
rest r' The cornet answer'd, ' My name is Joyce, an officer
of the army, and sorry I am th:it I should disquiet the king,
but I cannot help it, for speak with him I must, and that
presently,' &c. This strange confidence of his, and the
posture he was in, having a cock'd pistol in liis hand,
amazed the four grooms of the bedchamber. Jam. INIaxwell,
Patr. Maule, Jam. Harrington, and Thom. Herbert, (from
the last of which 1 had this story in writing) whose duty it
was and care to preserve his majesty's person, and were
resolv'd to sacrifice their lives rather than give him admit-
tance. They therefore in the first place ask'd Joyce, ' If he
had the commissioners approbation for his intrusion ?' he
said ' no, for I have ordered a guard to be set at their
floors, and have orders from those that feared them not.'
They then persuaded him to lay aside his arms and to for-
bear giving disturbance, the king being then asleep, assuring
him in the morning he should have his majesty's answer to
his errand. The cornet refused to part with either sword or
pistol, and yet insisted to have the chamber door open'd.
But the grooms of the bedchamber keeping firm to their
resolution that he should not enter, the noise was so lotul,
which in this contest could not be avoided, that it awaken'd
his majesty, who thereupon rung his silver bell : Upon which
Maxwell went into the bedclianiber to know the king's
pleasure, the other three grooms in the mean time securing
the door. The king being acquainted with the business, and
uncivil carriage of the cornet, he sent word ' he wouhl not
rise nor speak with him until morning :' Which being told
the comet, he huff'd, and seeing his design could not be
effected in the night, he retired, so as for a few hours there
was silence. Morning being come, the king arose a little
sooner than ordinary, and having performed bis morning
devotions, he sent for Joyce, who, with no less confidence
than if he had been a supreme officer, approaclied the king,
and acquainted him with the ccmimands he had concerning
his removal. The king desired that the commissioners might
be sent for, and his orders comnmnicated to them, the
cornet made answer that they were to return back to the
parliament; ' By whose appointment,' said the king? to

which the cornet made no answer. The king then said,
' Let them have their liberty, and give me a sight of your
instructions.' ' That,' said cornet Joyce, ' you shall sec
presently:' And forthwith drawing up the greatest and best
l)art of his party into the inner court, <is near its he could
unto the king, said ' These, sir, are my instructions.' 'I'he
king took a view of them, and finding them proper men,
well mounted and armed, smilingly told the cornet, ' His
instructions were in fair character, and legible without
spelling.' The cornet then pressed the king to go along
with him, no prejudice being intended, but rather satis-
faction : The king told him, ' he would not stir unless the
commissioners went along with him :' The cornet reply'd,
that ' for his part he was indifferent.' However the com-
missioners in this interim, had, by an express, acquainted
the pari, with this violence, and so soon as they ])erceived
his majesty was inclinable to go with Joyce, and that it was
the king's pleasure they should follow him they knew not
whither, they immediately made themselves ready : And
after that they had put several questions to the cornet,
whose answers were insignificant, and saw full well that
reason was of no force to dissuade, nor menaces to affright,
they were willing to attend the king at all adventures. 'I'his
audacious attempt exceedingly troubled the commissioners,
and the more, for that they knew not how to help it, as
appeared by their countenances, for indeed it sadned the
hearts of many. The king was the merriest in the company,
having, it seems, some confidence in the army, especially
from some of the greatest there, as was inuigined. The
king being in his coach, call'd the earls of Pembroke and
Denbigh, as also the lord Mountague into it. The other
commissioners, members of the house of commons, being
well mounted, followed, leaving Holdenby languishing; for
that beautiful and stately structure was in two years after
pulled down among other royal houses, whereby the splendor
of the kingdom was not a little eclips'd, as it since appeared.
His m.ojesty following his guide (the confident cornet) he
went that night to Hinchingbrooke, where he lodged in the
fair mansion-liouse of col. Edw. Mountague, (made earl of
Sandwich after the restoration of king Charles II.) whose
lady was daughter to Job. Crew esq; then one of the com-
missioners, and afterwards created a baron by king Charles
II. in which house his majesty was treated with honour and
welcome, as were also the commissioners. From Hinching-
brooke the king went next night to Childerley, a house of
sir John Cutts, not far from Cambridge, to which, during
his majesty's three days stay, many doctors, graduats, and
scholars of that university repaired. To most of whom the
king was pleased to give his hand to kiss, for which honour
they returned their gratulatory and humble thanks with a
Vivnt Rex. 'i'hither also came Fairfax the general of the
pari, army, lieut. gen. Cromwell, commissary gen. Hen.
Ireton, maj. gen. Philip Skippon, lieut. gen. of thi; ordnance
Tho. Ilanmiond, col. John Lambert, col. Edw. \\'halley,
col. Rich. Deane, col. Charles Rich, and several other field
and counnission officers ; some of which, as soon as they
came into the presence, kiss'd his majesty's hand, after the
general, who bad began the way. These things being done,
tlie king took the general aside in the first place, and dis-
cours'd with liim, the general (uiiask'd) disavowed his
majesty's seizure l)y Joyce at Holdenby, as done without his
order and approbation, (but probably by some other power-
ful officer in the army, seeing that Joyce was neither at a
council of war, or otherwise, cidled into question for it) and
by his letter declared no less to the parliament : Whereupon,
as 'tis farther reported, the king made answer, that • unless

he would hang up Joyce he would not believe him," &c.
From thence he went to Newmarket, where he made a con-
siderable stay, and thence to Royston, where continuing two
or three days, a certain envoy from some German prince
(whose dead father had been a companion to the knights of
the most noble order of the (iarter) ma<le an address to iiis
majesty, with a letter, and a return of the George and
Garter (richly set with diamonds) according to the usual
custom, and to receive his majesty's direction with whom to
be deposited. A military officer, VVhalley before-mention'd
(afterwards one of the king's judges) being in the room, was
so malepcrt as to interpose, and would be privy to what the
envoy had to communicate to the king, who by his frown
expressing his displeasure at so great rudeness towanls him
and incivdity to a stranger, Mr. Uabington the king's barber
instructed the officer better by a removal, which the king was
pleased with, and the officer had a reproof from the general
for his disrespect to his majesty. Afterwards his majesty
byeasyjournies went to Hampton- Court, where he continued
in great splendor near a quarter of a year, in which time
there were great hopes of an accommodation and conclusion
of a peace between him and his parliament; but being
frighted thence by the endeavours of the adjutators of the
army at Putney, he retired obscurely to the isle of Wight,
and how he was violently taken thence, and hurried to
Ilurst-Castle, you shall hear more anon. As for Joyce
before-mention'd, a pragmatical and busy person, who had
been a godly taylor in London, and persuaded and egg'd on
by a godly minister of that city to take up arms for the
righteous cause, had soon after the said audacious act was
by him performed, his arrears paid, and was made at leasta
captain, and at length a colonel : But after Oliver had
advanc'd himself to the protectorate, and thereupon had
cashier'd and imprison'd divers prime officers, who worse
than malign'd him for so doing, an. 1654, this col. Joyce
became a malecontent at the change, and signified so much
to Oliver's face, whom he upbraided with his own service,
and his faithfulness, but escaped any other censure than bid-
ding him begone, Cromwell well knowing him to be one of
those mad-men that would do any thing they were bid.

The next that I am to mention who had the degr. of M.
of A. conferr'd on him if he would please to accept of it,
was

Lieut. Colon. Ralph Gobbet an officer in col. Faithful

Fortescue's regiment. The reader may be pleased now to

observe, that the treaty for peace at Newport in the isle of
Wight, between the commissioners appointed by parliament
and his majesty, being in a manner concluded, insomuch
that it was voted by the members thereof, that his majesty's
answers and concessions, were a ground sufficient and satis-
factory to both houses of parliament to proceed upon, in
order to a settlement of a peace of the kingdom ; the ad-
jutators of the army did thereupon conclude, that if a peace
was setled, the said army should be disbanded, and become
useless, and therefore they framing cases, and a remonstrance
setting forth their grievances, and that the principal actors
of the king's party in the late war should be proceeded
against according to justice, his majesty not being excepted,
they ordered among themselves that the said treaty should
be broken off, and the king's person secured for their own
end thus. In the latter end of Nov. l648, a considerable
party of horse and foot l)elonging to the army landed in the
isle of Wight, under the command of the said lieut. col.
Cobbet, and coming unexpectedly to Newport, the lieut. col.
did in the first place make enquiry for the quarters of the
govemour of that isle called col. Rob. Hammond, (for there.

at Newport, he continued while his majesty was present,
albeit he was under no restraint) to the end that he might
secure him, and put his lieut. col. Is. Ewre in his place of
trust and government. The reason for this intended seizure
was not then known, for col. Hammond had all along ma-
naged his trust with sufficient circumspection and asperity :
so, as it continued him in the applause of most men in power,
both in the two houses of pari, and the army; insomuch, a»
'twas believed this alteration proceeded principally from the
apprehension either the adjutators, or some that intluenc'd
them, had ; and were not a little jealous that he Was at
length too much a courtier, which they by no means ap-
proved of; and from that supposition they thought it the
safest way to remove him : yet he being premotiish'd, evaded
Cobbet, and at his coming to Westminster had a fair recep-
tion by the members of parliament. In this conjecture his
opposits in the army were mistaken, for albeit by his con-
stant attendance, most times walking and discoursing with
the king whensoever he walk'd for refreshment about the
out-works of Carisbrook castle, before he went to Newport
to treat with the commissioners, (there being none in the
garrison so fit, and forward as Hammond) it gave him op-
portunity to ingratiate himself into his majesty's favour, yet
it made the army officers jealous, he being solely intrusted
with the person of the king : and the truth is he did never
forfeit the king's good opinion of him, only when he peep'd
into his scrutore, for no good end as 'twas supposed ; which,
(as 1 have been told by one then present) with some aggra-
vations from other hands, made the king to design an escape :
For soon after, he made way for his descent out of his cham-
ber, as he farther told me, and horses were provided and
placed near the works, and a vessel ready for his embarking,
but by a corrupted corporal of the garrison it took no effect,
&c. Now to return ; lieut. col. Cobbet failing of his first
enterprise, he made a higher flight, for in the morning of the
30th of Nov. 1648, (being St. Andrew's day) he, just at
break of day, did with other officers in his company come rgg-i
to the door of the king's dressing-room, with Anth. Mildmay
the king's carver, (brother to sir Henry a parliamentarian)
and making a great knocking there, the king sent James
duke of Richmond, then in attendance as gentleman of the
bedchamber, to know what it meant, and he enquiring who
was there, was answer'd by Mildmay, that there were some
gentlemen from the army that were desirous to speak with
the king. The duke returned, and gave an account to the
king, but the knocking increasing, the king commanded the
duke to let them into his dressing-room. No sooner was
that done, but Cobbet in the head of them went into his
chamber, and made an abrupt and unexpected address to-
the king, letting him know that he had orders to remove
him forthwith from Newport. The king beheld him with
astonishment, and interrogated him ' whether his orders
were to remove him to his prison at Carisbrook V The lieut.
col. said ' No:' ' Whither then?" said the king: ' Out of
the isle of Wight,' replied the lieut. col. but the place he was
to remove him to, he was not to communicate. ' Under
favour (said the king) let me see your orders,' as to which
the lieut. col. desired to be excused, ' This business (said
he) is of no ordinary concernment, I am not to satisfy any
man's enquiry until a fitter season.' Now was verified bis
majesty's maxim, that ' such as will assume the boldness to
adventure upon a king, must not be thought over modest, or
timorous to carry on his design.' His majesty being thus
denied a sight and answer, demanded ' if his orders and in-
structions were from the parliament, or general of the army?'
the lieut. colonel's answer was, ' He bad them from neither ;'

said the king thereupon ' It may be so, seeing you are afraid
to shew them :' But that he had orders or secret instructions
for this bold act, is not to be doubted ; for tho' there was
but one general, yet things were at that time so much out of
frame, both in the commons' house and army, that there
were many commanders. The duke of Richmond, Moun-
tague earl of Lindsey, Tho. earl of Southampton gent, of
the bedchamber, and other nobility, several venerable per-
sons his chaplains, and many of the king's houshold servants
at that time attending, were in a manner confounded at this
surprise, and unexpected accident ; yea, not a little affrighted
with ideas and apprehensions of danger to his majesty's per-
son ; and the more, for that Cobbet refused to satisfy any, to
what place he would go, or what he intended to do with the
king, other than that ' no harm or violence should be offer'd
to him.' The lieut. col. (Cobbet) did press the king to take
coach with what convenient speed he could : The coach ac-
cordingly was made ready, and brought to the door where
the king lodged. Never at one time was beheld more grief
in men's faces, or greater fears in their hearts, the king being
at such a time anil in such a manner hurried away they knew
not whither. But no remedy appearing, the noble-men,
venerable persons, and other his majesty's servants ap-
proachetl to kiss the king's hand, and to pour forth their
supplications to almighty God to safeguard and comfort his
majesty in that disconsolate condition. His majesty, who at
other times was cheerful, did, at this parting from his friends,
shew sorrow in his heart, by the sadne^s of his countenance,
(a real sympathy) and wrote unto the lords in pari, ac-
quainting them with this fresh violence, and complaining of
the army's severity to his person. The king being now
ready to take coach, he asked Cobbet whether he was to have
any servants with him ? To which he made answer. Only
such as were most useful. The king then nominated James
Harrington, and Tho. Herbert to attend him in his bed-
chamber, and scarce a dozen more for other service : And at
that time his majesty taking notice that Herbert had for
three days absented himself, Harrington told his majesty
that he was sick of an ague. His majesty then desir'd the
duke of Richmond to send one of his servants to see in what
condition he then was, and, if any thing well, to come along
with him. The gent, that the duke sent found him sweat-
ing, but as soon as he receiv'd the message, he arose, and
came speedily to his maj. who presently took coach, and
commanded Harrington, Herbert, and Mildmay his carver
to come into his coach; and lieut. col. Cobbet offering to
enter the coach uninvited, his majesty by opposing with his
foot, made him sensible of his rudeness, so as with shame
he mounted his horse, and followed the coach witii his party
or guard, the coachman driving as he directed, and captain
Merriman (a name ill suiting with the occasion) with an-
other party went foremost. The king in this passage shew'd
no discomposure at all (tho' at parting he did) and would be
asking the gentlemen in the coach with him, Whither they
thought he was travelling ? they made some simple replies,
such that served to make his majesty smile at their innocent
conjectures : Otherwise he woulti comfort himself with what
he had granted at the late treaty with the commissioners,
whom he highly praised for their ingenuity and fair deport-
ment at Newport. The coach by the lieut. colonel's direc-
tion went westward towards VVorsley's tower in Freshwater
Isle, and a little beyond Yarmouth haven. About that place
his majesty rested, until the vessel was ready to take him
aboard with those few his attendants. The king after an
hour's stay, went aboard, a sorrowful spectacle and great
example of fortune's inconstancy. The wind and tyde fa-

voured him and his company, and in less than three hours
time they crost that narrow sea, and landed at Hurst castle,
(or block-house rather) erected by order of king Henry VJII.
upon a spot of eartli thrust by nature a good way into the
sea, and joyncd to the firm land by a narrow neck of sand,
which is constantly covered over with loose stones and
pebbles. Upon both sides of this passage the sea beats, so
as at spring tides and in stormy weather it is forniiihible and
hazardous. The csstle has very thick stone walls, and the [84]
platforms are regular, and both have culvcrins and ssikers
mounted. A dismal receptacle it was for so great a monarch,
as this king was ; the greater part of whose life and reign
had been prosperous and full of earthly glory : nevertlieless
it was some satisfaction to his majesty tbivt his two houses
of parliament abhor'd this force upon his person, having
voted that the seizing of the king's person and carrying him
prisoner to Hurst castle was without the privity and consent
of either house of parliament, &c. The captain of this
wretched place, was not unsuitable to it. At the king's
going on shear in the evening of the said 30th of Nov. he
stood ready to receive him with small observance. His look
was stern, his hair and large beard were black and bushy.
He held a partizan in his hand, and Switz-like had a great
basket-hilt sword by his side. Hardly could one see a man •
of more grim aspect, and no less robust and rude was his
behaviour. Some of his majesty's servants were not a little
fearful of him, and really thought that he was design'd for
mischief, especially when he vapoured as being elevated
with his command, and puft up by having so royal a pri-
soner ; so as probably he conceived he was nothing inferior
to the governour of the castle at Millan. But being com-
plained of to lieut. col. Cobbet his superior officer, he ap-
peared a bublde; for being pretty sharply admonished, he
quickly became mild and calm, whereby 'twas visible that
his humour (or tumour rather) was adulatory, acted to curry
favour ; wherein also he was much mistai<en : for to give
tlie lieut. colonel his due, he was, after his majesty came
under his custody, very civil to him botli in language and
behaviour, and courteous to those that attended him, on all
occasions : also tluit Ids disposition was not rugged towards
such as in loyalty and love came to see, and to pray for, him,
as sundry persons out of Hampshire and the neighbouiing
counties did. His majesty (as it may be well granted) was
very slenderly accommodated at this ])lace, for the room he
usually eat in was neither large or lightsome, insomuch that
at noon day in that winter season, candles were set up to
give light ; and at night he had his wax lamp set (as for-
merly) in a silver bason, which illunnnated the bedchamber,
and Tho. Herbert then attending, being the sole person at
that time left as groom thereof (for Harrington was soon
after dismist, as I have elsewhere told you) he could not
otherwise but call to mind a relation well worth the ob-
servance, which is this, as by letters, with several other
stories relating to the king's last two years of his life, he
very kindly imparted to me. ^Vhen Mountague earl of
Lindsey, one of the gentlemen of his majesty's bedchamber,
did lye one night on a pallet by the king's bed-side, a little
before lie left Oxon, in a disguise, to surrender his person
up to the protection of the Scots then laying siege to New-
ark upon Trent, was placed at the end of his majesty's bed (as
was usually every night) a lamp or round cake of wax in a
bason set on a stool. The earl awaked in the night and
observed the room to be perfectly dark, and thereupon
raising himself up, he looked towards the lam]) and con-
cluded that it might be extinguished by water got into the
bason by some creek : but he not hearing the king stir, for-

bore rising, or to call upon those in the next chamber to
bring in another light. About half an hour after he fell
asleep again and awaked not 'till morning, but when he did
awake, he discerned the lamp bright burning, which so as-
tonish'd him, that taking the boldness to call to the king
(whom he heard by his stirring to be awake) he told him
what he had observed : whereupon tlie king replied, that he
himself also awaking in the niglit, took notice that all was
dark, and to be fully satisfied he put by the curtain to look
on the lamp, but concluded the earl had risen, and set it
upon the bason again. The earl assured his majesty he did
not. The king tlien said he did consider it was a prognostic
of God's future favour and mercy towards liim and his, that,
tho' he was at that time eclipsed, yet either he or they may
shine out bright again, &c. But to return, in this sad con-
dition was the king at Hurst, the place and military persons
duly consideretl : he was sequestred in a manner from the
comfort that eartlj and air affordeth and the society of men.
The earth confin'd him to that promontory or gravel walk
overspread with loose stones agood depth ; on which when he
walked, as usually he did, it was very uneasy and oifensive
to his feet, but endure it he did and with his most admirable
accustom'd jiatience and serenity of spirit, and more alacrity,
than they that followed him. The air was equally obnoxious,
by reason of the marish grounds that were tliereabouts, and
the unwholesome vapours arising from the sargosses and
weeds which the salt water constantly at tides and storms
cast upon the shoar, and by the fogs that those marine places
are most subject to, so that the dwellers tliereabouts find by
experience that the air is insalubrious and disposing to dis-
eases, especially aguish distempers. Notwithstanding all
these things the king was content in this most disconsolate
and relegated place to walk two miles at least in length,
containing but a few paces in breadth, either in the company
of the governour of the said castle, or in that of capt. Rey-
nolds an officer therein ; beside Harrington (while he was
there) and Herbert, who according to their duties did always
attend him. That which made some amendment was a fair
and iminterrupted prospect a good way into the sea, a view
into the isle of Wight one way, and main land the otlier,
with the sight of ships of all sizes, daily under sail, with
which his majesty was much delighted. In this castle his
£85] majesty continued from the evening of the 30th of Nov. till
the 21st of Dec. following, an. 1048, and what hapned in
that interval I have ])artly told you in Jam. Harrington
among the writers under the year 1677. About the 15th of
the said month of Dec. major Harrison came late at night
with orders for the removal of his majesty thence, lodged
there two nights, and went away without seeing the king,
or speaking with any of his attendairts. 'J" wo days after lieut.
col. Cobbet before-mention'd came and acquainted his ma-
jesty with the (Trders he had received for his remove thence
to Windsor castle forthwith. Tlie king told him he was
more kind at that time, than he was at Newport, when he
would not gratify him or any other with the knowledge of
the place he was to go to. Windsor was the place he ever
delighted in, and 'twould make amends for what at Hurst he
had suffered. AU things in short time being made ready, he
bad solitary Hurst adieu ; and having pass'd the narrow
passage before-mention'd, which reaches well nigh from
Hurst to Milford three long miles, there appeared a party of
horse belonging to the army, who had then their winter
quarter at Lindhurt, and were ordered to convey the king to
Winchester ; but going first to Ringwood, then through the
New Forest to Rumsey, went thence to the said city. At
his entrance therein the mayor and aldermen of the city, did.
Vol.. JV.

notwithstanding the times, receive the king with dutiful re-
spect, and the clergy did the like. During his short stay
there, the gentry and others of inferior rank flock'd thither
in great numbers to welcome his majesty, and out of zeal to
pray for his enlargement and happiness ; with which the
king wa.s much satisfied, and was pleased to give his hand to
many of them to kiss. Thence his majesty rode to Alton,
and so to .Mresford, while the inhabitants round about made
haste to see his mt^jesty pass by, and to pour forth their
prayers for his preservation. From thence he went to Farn-
ham, 'twixt which two towns major Harrison met him with
a party of horse to convey him to Windsor. See more before
in Ttiomas Harrison among these creations.

May 19. Thomas Tkjvpham chirurgeon to the general of
the parliament army was then actually created batch, of
physic, while the said genend, Cromwell and the aforesaid

officers were seated in tlieir gowns in the doctor's seats.

This person, who was son of .lohn 'J'rapham of Maidstone in
Kent, and had been licensed' by the university to practise
chirurgery, an. 1633, did practise it in the.se parts for .some
time before the grand rebellion broke forth. Afterwards he
turned tail for profit sake, practised in the parliament army,
and became a bitter enemy to his majesty king Charles the
first i to whose body after his decollation in the latter end of
Jan. 1648 he put his hand to open and embalm, and when
that was done, he sewed his liead to his body ; and that
being done also, he said to the company then present, that
' he had sewed on the head of a goose.' Afterwards he was
chirurgeon to Oliver Cromwell at the fight at Worcester
against king Charles H. was a great man among his party
and got what he pleased. After his majesty's return,' he
retired to the fanatical town of Abingdon in Berks, practised
there among the brethren, and dying an absolute bigot for
the cause, in the latter end of Dec. 1683, was buried on the
29th of the same month in the presence of a great number
of dissenters in the church yard of St. Helen's there, close
under one of the windows of that church. One of both his
names, and his son, as it seems, I shall elsewhere mention.

Nov. 14. James Ward was actually created by the favour

of Fairfax the general. This person, who was lately

made fellow of Magd. coll. by the visitors, I have mention'd
among the incorporations, an. 1 648.

Jan. 14. Edm. Scrope eldest son of col. Adrian Scrope
mention'd among the creations of batch, of arts this year,

was created by order of the delegates of this university.

This ingenious and most comely gentleman, who had, by the
endeavours of his father, been made fellow of AU-s. coll. by
the favour of the committee and visitors, was afterwards
keeper of the jjrivy seal in the kingdom of Scotland. He
died much lamented by those that knew him in 1658, or
thereabouts, and was buried with solemnity by two or more
officers of arms at Ch. Ch. alias the Grey-fryars within New-
gate in London.

May 19. Matthew Bartrn sometime M. of A. of New
inn, now a sturdy, ze.ilous and daily preacher np of the
blessed cause in the pari, army, was actually created iJ. of D.
while the general, lieut. general, and officers were sitting in
their respective stalls.

It was the pleasure then of Fairfax and Cromwell that

Gbodoe Sikbs, Jam. Barok, Joh. Dale and Josh. Cross,
all zealous and doughty brethren for the said cause, might
be created B. of D. when they pleased.

June 8. Georob Sikes was created in a convocation then

held. This person, who was son of George Sikes of Lut-

tenvorth in Leicestershire, was originally of St. Joh. coll. (a
servitor I think) and as a member of it he took the degrees
in arts. Afterwards siding with the faction, he became a
presbyterian, a covenanter, an independent, was made fellow
of Magd. coll. by the com. and visitors, (where he liad his
share of the old gold or spurroyals belonging to that house,
went away with, and never restored, them again as otliers
did) and took the engagement, became a great admirer and
follower of sir Hen. Vane junior, and therefore esteemed by
[85] the generality an anabaptist, fifth-monarchy man, and a
hodgpodge of religions. He hath written The Life and
Death of Sir Hen. Vane Knight ; or, a short Narrative of the
main Passages of his earthly Pilgrimage. Printed 1662 in
qu. 'Tis a most canting and enthuslastical piece, and the
effects rather of a craz'd than setled brain : and instead of
giving the reader an account of the birth, extract, breeding,
actions, &c. of that knight, usually called sir Humerous
Vanity, he puts the reader off with his (such as 'tis) divinity :
what else he hath written I know not, nor any thing besides
of the person, only that he was a great encourager of Henry
Stubbe in his proceedings.

James Baron lately made divinity reader of Magd. coll.

by the com. and visitors, was created the same day. He

was son of George Baron of Plymouth in Devonshire, had
been puritanically educatetl in Exeter coll. and closing with
the dominant party in the time of the rebellion, got besides
his reader's place, to be minister of one of the Hendreths in
Berks, and by the name of Mr. James Baron of Hendreth,
he was appointed one of the assistants to the commissioners
of that county for the ejection of such whom the saints
called scandalous, ignorant and ins\ifiicient ministers and
sdioolmasters, that is, orthodox and loyal clergy. After his
majesty's restoration he retired to London and lived a non-
conformist mostly at, or near, Bunhill. He hath published
under the name of Jacobus Baronius, a little thing printed
on one side of a sheet, entit. Quastiones Theologies in Usum
CoU. Magd. Oxon. Oxon. l657 : and with Thankful Owen
did gather and publish the woiis of Thorn. Goodwin in two
vol. in fol. and set before them a canting preface. He died
in the beginning of the year l683, and was buried, as I have
been informed, near the graves of Goodwin and Owen in
the phanatical burial place near Bunhill-fields, and the New
Artillery-yard.

John Dale of Magdalen college, was created the same
day, June 8.

As for Joshua Cross he was not created batch, of div.
but doct. of the civ. law, as I shall anon tell you.

Feb. l6. Sim. Ford of Ch. Ch. was created by dispensa-
tion of the delegates. On the 12th of Jan. going before,

the said delegates decreed that the said Mr. Ford, sometimes
of Magd. hall, who had been expelled the university with
great injury, (as they said) should be restored with all aca^
demical honour imaginable, and that his grace be proposed
for batch, of div. &c. He proceeded D. of D. in 1065.

Mar. 14. Will. Durham sometimes of New inn, now
chaplain to W. Lenthall master of the rolls, was created in
convocation by dispensation of the delegates.

Doctors ofLaxu,
May 19. Thomas Lord Fairfax baron of Camerone in

Scotland, generalissimo of all the parliament forces in Eng-
land, and constable of the Tower of London, was created
doctor of the civil law, being then in Oxford and entertained
by the members thereof, as Cromwell and divers prime

olRcers were. The ceremony of the creation was thus :

After he had been adorned with a scarlet gown in the Apo-
diterium or vestry belonging to the convocation, but without
hood or cap, the new beadles, who hud not yet got their
silver staves from those that were lately ejected, conducted
hini with Cromwell towards the upper end of the convoca-
tion house, the members thereof then standing up bare ;
whereupon Hierom Zanchy one of the proctors rising from
his seat, which pro tempore was supplied by a master, and
going to, and standing on, his left side took him by the
right hand and presented him in a most humble posture to
the vice-chanc. and proctors standing, with a short flattering
Lat. speech, such as 'twas : Which being done, and he who
then held the chancellor's chair (Dr. Chr, Rogers'*) ad-
mitting him with another flattering speech, by his authority,
or rather observance, Zanchy and the beadles conducted him
up to the next place on the right hand of the chancellor's
chair.

This person, who made a great noise in his time, not only
in England, but throughout a great part of the world, was

man in Yorkshire in raising men and maintaining the par-
liament cause against his majesty, by the lady Mary his wife
daughter of Edmund lord Sheffield earl of Mulgrave ; which
Ferdinando dying 13th March 1647, aged 64 years, was
buried in the church of Bolton Percy in Yorkshire. As for
his son Thomas, whom we are farther to mention, he was
born at Denton in the parish of Otlay in the same county, in
Jan. 1611 (9 Jac. 1.) and was baptized at Denton on the
25th of the said month. After he had spent some time in
St. Joh. coll. in Cambridge,* (to which afterwards, in his
latter days, he was a benefactor ') he went beyond the seas,
and spent the rest of his youth in martial discipline under
the command of Horatio lord Vere ; among whose forces he
trailed a pike in the low countries, was at the considerable
action of the taking of Busse in Flanders, but had no com-
mand while he was there. Afterwards he retired to his
father's house, and took to wife Anne the daughter and co-
heir of the said lord Vere, by whom he had issue Mary, born
3 July I636, and Elizabeth. The first of which was married
to George Villiers duke of Buckingham, 19 Nov. 165/. In
the beginning of the rebellion in ltJ42, when his majesty was
forced to raise a guard at York for the defence of his person,

to prefer a petition to his majesty, the scope whereof was to
beseech him to hearken to his parliament and not raise
forces, he did accordingly deliver it, but his majesty refusing

[87] it, as a parliamentarian * writer tells us, he presa'd it with
that instance and intention, following the king so close
therewith in the field call'd Heyworth-moor in the presence
of near a hundred thousand people of the county (the like
appearance was ever hardly seen in Yorkshire) that he at
last did tender the same upon the pomel of his saddle. But
finding no propitiatory, as the said author tells us, and seeing
a war could not be avoided, he early jiaid the vows of his
martial education ; and as soon as the unha))py troubles
brake forth, he took a commission under his father Ferdi-
nando before-mention'd, whose timely appearance and per-
formances for the rebels in the nortli, desen'es a story of it
self. He had not served the parliament in lower commands
long, but that the great masters at Westminster did vote
him their general, 31 Dec. 1644, at which time they cashier'd
Robert earl of Essex of that high command, with whom
they had sworn, 12 July l642, to live and dye. This making
of a new general was done when the parliament ordered
their army to be new modell'd : so that victory in a manner
being prepared to his hand, he vigorously proceeded, and
what he did in a short time for the blessed cause, which is
too much here to be set down, let the author '■• of England's
Recovery, &c. tell you ; who, tho' in the latter end of that
book, p. 321 , he doth highly characterize him, especially for
his religion but little for policy, yet a severe presbyterian '
will tell you that ' he was a gentleman of an irrational and
brutish valour, fitter to follow another man's counsel than
his own, and obnoxious to Cromwell and the independent
faction, (upon whose bottom he stood for his preferment) it
having been no dishonour to him to become the property of
another man's faction,' &c. adding ' these matters, ' But
■what will not a fool in authority do when he is possest by
knaves ? Miserable man ! His foolery did so long wait upon
Cromwell's and Ireton's knavery, that it was not safe for
him then to see his folly and throw by his cap with a bell
and his bable.' Elsewhere ^ he speaks of ' his ill breeding
and churlishness,' of * ' his being a cypher, or prepositor in
the free-school called the army, while Cromwell was head-
master, and Ireton usher,' &c. that * ' he was a stalking
horse, a brute,' &c. and indeed his majesty king Charles 1.
doth once, at least, in his works stile him ' the brutish
general,' as being a person not fit to hearken to reason.
When the war was terminated, and no enemy either in field
or garrison left, he went to London in Nov. l646, where he
was in a most high manner joyed and caressed by the citi-
zens of London and parliament for the great service he bad
done for the conjmonwealth, and nothing was thought too
good or great for him. After his majesty was taken away
from Holdenby and conveyed to Childerley, Newmarket, &c.
he expressed himself civil, to him, as he did afterwards at
Hampton-court ; but then having no pious frauds in him,
or dissimulation for a good end, he did not, or could not
endeavour, as being no politician, to countermand the
diabolical designs of Cromwell, and the hellish crew. He
did not endeavour to repell or hinder the Remonstrance of
the Army, the purging of the bouse of commons of its chief
members, the Agreement of the People, &c. but was lull'd on
in a kind of stupidity. 'Tis true, that before the king was

beheaded (in order to who.se tryal he was nominated the
chief judge but did not sit) he did use his |X)wer and interest
to have the execution deferr'd for some days, forbearing his
coming among the officers, and did fully resolve with his
own regiment to prevent the execution, or have it defer'd
till he could make a party in the army to second hid design :
but behold his policy ! all the morning of that day on which
the king was beheaded, and the time when he was beheaded,
he was with certain officers of the army at prayer or in dis-
counse, or botli, in miy- Tho. Harrison's apartment in White-
hall, (being a room at the hither end of that gallery looking
towards the jirivy- garden) and knew notliing of it ; ° as it
doth appear by this pjissage. AVhen his majesty was be-
headed on a scaffold joyning to the banquetting-house at
Whiteliall, and his corps tliereupon immediately coffin'd and
cover'd with a bLick velvet pall, bishop Juxoh who attended
him on the scaffold, and Thomas Herbert the only groom of
his bedchamber that waa then left, did go with the said
corps to the back-stairs to have it embahn'd, and Mr. Her-
bert, after the body had been <leposited, meeting with Fair-
fax the general, Fairfax asked him ' how the king did ; '
whereupon Herbert looking very strangely upon him, told
him that ' the Wng was beheaded,' at which he seem'd mucli
surpriz'd. Afterwards Herbert walking farther in the gal-
lery with the said bishop, they were met by another great
commander named Oliver Cromwell, who knew what hod
lately past^ for he told them unask'd, that ' they should have
orders for the king's burial speedily,' as I have been informed
by the letters of the said Thomas Herbert. In little more
than a fortnight after, viz. Feb. 14. an. l648, general Fairfax
was elected one of the council of state, consisting of 30 per-
sons, soon after, when king Charles IL ship'd himself near
the Hague in Holland to go to Scotland there to be invested
in his right, he laid down his coutmission as general, being
influenc'd thereunto by certain presbyterian ministers, be-
cause he would not engage against him ;' whereupon Crom-
well was made general in his place, and how he afterwards
acted against that king, especially when he went into Eng-
land to obtain his right, all histories will tell you. After- rgg-i
wards the lord Fairfax retired to his seat in Yorkshire, lived
there mostly during the reign of Oliver, was ready to rise
with the people of his county, to assist sir George Booth in
Cheshire, if any ways successful, and soon after did not only
appear in the head of a great party, when the forces be-
longing to col. Job. Lambert began to desert him, when they
were about to fight gen. Monk, at what time he was coming
into Engl, from Scot, to restore the rump, but declared with
his party in Dec. l6"59 against illegal taxes and free-quarter^
as also for the freedom of a parliament, as it was in the year
164S. On the 2d of Jan. 1659, the rump parliament then
sitting, he was by them appointed one of the council of state,
and in Apr. following being elected the first knight for tlie
county of York to serve in that parliament which began at
Westminster on the 25th of the said month, he was by the
members thereof appointed one of those 12 commoners, to
go with those persons appointed by the Itouse of lords to at-
tend on his majesty in Holland, for the greater solemnity
and lustre of his court there. On the l6th of May following
they were there with his majesty at the Hague, where Fair-
fax drew upon him the curiosity and eyes of all men,* as
known to them by name to have been captain general of the

parliament army. And when the first ceremony was past,
he desired, as 'tis said, to see tlie king in private, and to aslc
him pardon for the past offences, which accordingly he did
with all submission. After the said parliament was dissolv'd,
he retired to his seat, lived retiredly, and dying there, was
buried in an isle joy nint? on the south side to the chancel of
Bilborough or Bilburgh near York. Over his grave was
soon after put this epitaph : Here lye the bodies of the right
honourable Thomas Lord Fairfax of Denton, Baron of Ca-
merone, who died Nov. the 12th An. 1671, in the sixtieth
Year of his Age. And of Anne his Wife, Daughter and Co-
heir of Horatio Lord Vere Baron of Tilbury. He had Issue
Mary Dutchess of Buckingham, and Elizabeth. Under this
lord Fairfax his name were published while he bore arms for
the parliament, especially when general. Many Letters, (of
which most were to the speaker of the house of commons)
some Relations concerning Skirmishes , Battles, taking of
Castles, Towns, &c. As also Remonstrances, Declarations,
Speeches, Messages, &c. He was a great lover of learning,
religious in the way he professed, and when Oxford garrison
was surrendred for the use of the parliament, he took great
care for the preservation of the public library, which in se-
veral respects did suffer while the garrison was possest by
the royal party : and what he did for it at the time of his
death I have elsewhere told you.9

9 [See Short Memorutlt of Thomas Lord Fairfax, written hij Himself; pub-
lisht in 12mo 1699, with an epistle dedicatory to tlie right honourable Thomas
lord Fiiirfax, by his unkle Dr. Brian Fairfax, wI;o in some MSS. notes, at
the end, under his own hand gives the account of iiis birth and breeding, as

entred in the margin page 765, and thus continued: ' He himself gave

an account of all his actions in letters to his father immediately after they were
performed, which are preserved in the library at Denton; but tiiere is not
the same reason for printing them, that there was for publishing his Memoirs,

which was done to prevent fals copies. While IVIonk and Lambert lay on

each side the Tweed, gen. Monk writ a letter to my lord Fairfax to assist him
against Lambert, which ray lord resolved to do. He sent his cousin Mr.
Brian Fairfax to Monk, with this message ; tliat he was resolved to appear
in the field on the 1 of Jan. and would declare against Lambert, who was
against all government but that of an army, and oppressed the country by
Taising taxes and by free quarter, but desired liim to consider the danger he
should be exposed to, having Lambert's army between them.

Mr. Brian Fairfax came to gen. Monk at Coldstream at midnight, and
found him not gone to bed. He told him from whence he came, and the an-
swer to his letter, and that ray lord desired him to watch the motions of
Lambert, to which he suddenly answered. He would ttatch him as a cot
vatchet a mouse ; with this answer Mr. Fairfax returned, and was in danger
of his life on the borders of Scotland, among the moss troopers. He arrived
at Applelon the last day of December, and the next morning my lord left liis
house, and with fewer than he expected, resolved to keep his day. At
Arthinglon several gentlemen with their sei-vants met him, but those he
trusted to were Smythson, Bethel, Cholmelej-, Alvred, who promis'd to meet
him on Marston-moor, and they did not fail.

The night after my lord left his house, an officer of Lambert's army
knocked at the gate at Arlhington, and desiring to be brought to my lord ;
he delivered this message. My lord, I come from the Irish brigade, 1200 hors
in rear of Lambert's army, who offer their service to your lordship, and desire
to receive your commands. My lord desired they would meet hiui on Mar-
ston-moor, where he had appomted his friends, and there they all joyned.
The day after, several regiments of Lambert's army came to us, declaring
they would be commanded by none but their old general ; but he bid them
obey general Monk. In a day or two after, Lambert quitted his armj', and
went into the south.

General Monk visited my lord, as he went by York ; they were shut up
together in bis closet, where ray lord was freer in telling him his mind con-
cerning a ir^e parliament, and selling on the old foundations of government,
than the general was with him. And he gave more occasion of being
suspected before he got to London. This made my lord Fairfax and the rest
of the gentlemen meet at York, where they agreed to write to him, declaring
they would pay no taxes till the secluded members were restored, or a new
parliament called. They desired ray lord to write a particular letter to him,
■which he did, and sent it to the same person that went to Coldstream, who
brought an answer, but in dubious expressions.

After the king's restauration, he made his last retreat into his own country.

May 19. Oliver Cromwell lieutenant general of the
parliament army was then also created doct. of the civ. law.

He was conducted with Fairfax by tlie beadles towards

tiie upper end of the convocation, the members thereof then
standing bare, and was presented by Zaiichy with a flatter-
ing speech in a most humble posture ; wliich being done he
that then held the chancellor's chair, who all tlie time stood
up bare, admitted him with another flattering speech, by his
authority or rather observance. Which being done Zanchy
and the beatlles conducted him to his place next on the left
hand to the chancellor's chair.

This ptrson, also who had a greater name in his time than
Fairfax had, not only in England but throughout the whole
world, (which he obtained more by policy, dissimulation
under the cloak of religion, whether in prayer, preaching,
discourse and action, rather than valour) must according to
method have something said of hiui, which shall, with as
iiiuch brevity as may, be done, because all histories ring of
his fame as well as infamy.' Born therefore he was in the

to a few friends and many books, wliich he could read in all modern lan-
guages. He loved pious and learned men of all perswasious. He was much
alHicted with the gout and stone, but bore the pains with the same courage
and patience he had shewn in the warrs

For his person he had a very strong and active body, disposed to all
manly exercises, especially horsemanship, which he learnt of his grandfather.
He had a soldier-like countenance, of a black complexion, long black hair,
and a great cut on his left cheek, which he got at Marston-uuKjr. In his
face and behaviour he had a noble mixture of courage and modesty, a slow-
ness of speech, till he was a little warmed. \ late noble historian charges
him with this defect, but he did not well know him.

When he waited on the king in his coming from Holmby and kisst his
hand, which Cromwell and Ireton did not, his speech was short, but a sincere
otfer of his service, which his majesty rejected with as few words. Sir, I
have as good an intertst in ynur army as you have. This answer troubled my
lord; and he used to say, it afflicted hiui more than all the blood he had
lost, or colds he had got in all the war, to see the king trust those who meant
to deceive him.

He had been long afflicted with the go\it and stone, but it pleased God he
d3'cd in no extremity of either, but a tew day's sickness of a feaver. The
day of his death, he called for his Bible and read the 42 psalm, * As the hart
panteth,' &;c. He complained his eyes were dim, and recommending his
soul to God, died in peace Novcmb. II, 1 67 1 , selat. 60. He was buried at
Bilbrough the center of Yorkshire, and needs no other epitaph than that
writ by the D. of Buckingham, which shews that he knew hira and loved
him.

' [If all the hypocrisie and dissimulation of the rump parliament could be
crowded into one man, it might be found this one Oliver ; so unacquainted
with truth, that, unless to his owne creatures, he was only to be understood
in reverse. Never were three jaded nations so tamely ridden by so nieanea
beggar. It's true that sometimes this nation hath changed their kings to
preserve its liberties and constitutions, but then it exalted one of the royal
blood (which is more than can be said of the Caroline and (■a[)hetian lines
of France) to preserve them : whereas this fellow, uncalled by the nation,
but by an army raised by liis master (the parliament) twice deposed by him,
overthrows the lawcs, liberties and constitutions of the nation, to make way
for his usurpation and tyranny. The first manifesto which he published
after the dissolution of the rump, was under the title of ' I Oliver, general of

parish of St. John in the antient borough of Huntingdon on
the' 24th of Apr. 15Q'J (41 of Elizab.) and was christned ^
in that church on tlie 2gth of tlie same month, where sir
01i>er Cromwell his uncle gave him his name.* His father,
who lived in the same town, was Rob. Cromwell, second
son of sir Hen. Cromwell of Hinchingbrook in Huntingdon-
shire knt.* (who died in l603). His molher was Elizabeth
sister ° to sir Thomas, son ' of sir Richard Steward knts.
whence 'twas that when Oliver gaped after the protectorship,
it vVas given out by those of his ])arty, that he wiis de-
scended of the royal blood," and had right to the crown of
England. His said mother Elizabeth lived to see lier son
lord protector, and dying in Whitehall 18 Nov. j6j4, was
buried in king Hen. 7. chappel at Westminster, where her
body continuing till after his majesty's restoration, was re-
moved from that place, on the 12th of Sept. 166I, and
buried with other Cromwellian bodies in a pit dug in St.
Margaret's churcli-yard adjoyning, where it now resteth.
Oliver her son was educated in grammar learning in the
free-school at Huntingdon under one Dr. Thomas Ueard a
minister in that town, and in academical in Sidney college in
Cambridge,' but his father dying while he was there, he was
taken home and sent to Lincoln's inn to stiidy the common
law, but making nothing of it, he was sent for home by his
mother, became a debauchee, and a boysterous and rude fel-
low. At length being reformed, and pretending to saintship,
he married Elizabeth daughter of sir .lames Bouchier of
Essex, became heir to his uncle, his mother's brother, spent
[89] the estate which was considerable, took a farm at St. Ives,
thrived not, and therefore had intentions to go to New Eng-
land, a receptacle for puritans and nonconformists ; but that
project taking not, he removed to the isle of Ely, where he
more frequently and publicly own'd himself a preacher.' In
]640 he, by the endeavours of one Rich. Tyms, (afterwards
alderman of Cambridge) who had several times heard him
preach at Ely, was first made free of the corpcjration of
Camljridge, then a burgess thereof to sit in that unhappy
parliament, which began at Westminster 3 Nov. 1O40.
Soon after, when the rebellion began, towards which he gave
a considerable helping hand, he had a commission given to

all tlie forces of England, Scotland and Ireland, by tlie advice of my army,'
&c. 1 confess I was stun'd at the arrogance of it ; jet in this tune he
whistled to 144 of his owne gang and nomination (which was twelve-fold
more than the tribes of Israel) to be the rcjjresenlatives of the nation, and
npon these he tells them, he devolves the supream power of the nation, yet
allows them but six times to sit. This was the 4 of July 1653. This thing
calls itself a parliament too, and because Praise-God Barebone, a leather-
seller, was a I'amous member in it, 'twas called Barebont's pari, which chose
Rouse to be their speaker. Coke, Deteclioii of the Court and State 0/ Eng-

native country, and dtjing great service in those parts, he
soon after was made a colonel, aixl at length licutenunt
general to Edward earl of Manchester, who had tlic separate
command in a distinct supremacy of the associated counties.
Afterwards doing great service at Marston-moor near York,
after sir Tho. Fairfax and the Scots had been totally routed
there, Cromwell and his party of curassiers being then in the
left vving, his atchievcment was industriotisly cried up at
Westminster, and all the grandees of scriptural ovation were
fitted and accoiimiodated thereunto. ' Within 4 months after,
we find him in the second battel at Newbury in Berks,
where the fates favoured him again, tho' not with a com-
pleat victory, yet on that side where he fought, with a part
of one ; and so much as endangered the person of the king,
if the noble <ind stout earl of Cleveland had not hazardously
interposed, and bore off the pursuit. Soon after the army
being new modell'd, Essex the general was laid aside a& un-
fortunate, and sir Thomas Fairfax being put into his place,
Cromwell was made lieutenant general of the same army ;
from which time he continued, as Fairfax did, victorious,
and upon all occasions did lull, and bewitch, with the syrene
charms of his zealous insinuations, the said Fairfax to cany
on his pernitious designs. Afterwards we rind him the chief
person, under the cloak of great dissimulation, of hurrying
the king from place to place, of defaming him among the
people, and bringing him to judgment : which done he sate
with the rest of the judges on him, stood up when sentence
was passed, and set his hand and seal to the warrant for his
execution. Soon after, being made one of the council of
state, he was ordained commander in chief or lord governour
of Ireland, in June I649, conquer'd there, returned and was
made general of the parliament army upon Fairfax's laying
down his commission. Afterwards he went into Scotland,
did some feats there against king Charles II. but that king
giving him the go-by, he followed him into England, en-
countred him at Worcester, conquer'd his party, and put him
to flight. Thence he went to London, and was highly
caressed by the citizens and parliament, and soon after dis-
solving the parliament, he called another, but thiit being not
suitable to his designs, he dissolv'd that, and took upon him
the protectorship ; which he enjoyed during his life time.
Under his name were published Mani/ Letters written to the
speaker of the house of commons, to the house of commons.

skirmishes, victories, taking of castles, towns, &c. as also
some Speeches and Declarations, &c. By his wife Elizabeth
before-mentioned, he had sons and daughters,- as (1) Rich.
Cromwell, who being young when the war began did nof
bear arms, but several years after they were concluded he
was made colonel and privy-counsellor in order to have the
protectorship confer'd on him. (2) Henry Cromwell, after-
wards commander of the general's life-guard, and at length
on the 25th of Nov. 1657, was constituted lord lieutenant of

for a fellowship there : Whereupon an election being ap-
pointed in 1633, very many stood, and twelve were chosen
probationer fellows, whereof the said Ralph Button being
one, Pririeaux said after his joking way, that ' all the
election besides him was not worth a button.' Afterwards
he became a noted tutor in the house, and several of his
pupils became some of them famous, and some infamous.
When the rebellion began, he left Oxon, being puritannically
affected, and especially because he would not bear arms for
his majesty while Oxford was a garrison, or be any way
contributary thereunto. When the war was ceased he re-
turned, took pupils again, became one of the proctors (tho'
out of course) * in 1648, a, I have before told you ; and while
he bore that office w.is, upon the refusal of Dr. E. Corbet,
made canon of Ch. Ch. and orator of the university, in the
place of the learned and religious Dr. H. Hammond. After
his majesty's restoration he was discharg'd of his canonry
and oratorship, and when he was in removing his goods
from his lodgings in the cloister at Ch. Ch. to make room for
Mr. Joh. Fell, he would usually say, when he heard the two
little bells ring to canonical prayers. There now go the mass-
bells, and let those that affected tliat way go to the church,
for be sure I shall not, or words to that effect. Afterwards
retiring with his family to London, he setled at Islington
near to that city, where he preached in conventicles and
taught youths to the time of his death ; which liajining in
the latter end of Octob. l680, was buried in the church
there, with his son, who died at, or near, the same time of a
consumption.

Chancellor.

The place of chancellor being void by the death of Philip
earl of Pembroke, the visitors assumed the power thereof
into their hands till the first of January this year: On which
day a convocation being assembled, the then members of the
university did unanimously chuse (leave being first granted
by the committee to make choice of a fit person) Oliver
Cbomwell generalissimo of the i)arliament forces now on
foot in England Which office, (after he had been acquainted
what the convocation had done by certain doctors and
masters sent to him, then at Edinburgh in Scotland) he
kindly accepted, and forthwith promised to be a friend to the
university, by his canting letter sent thereunto dated at that
jjlace on the 4th of Feb. following, part of which runs thus,
— • But if these prevail not, (meaning some exceptions for
the refusal of the office) and that i must continue this honour,
until I can personally serve you, you shall not want my
prayers, that that seed and stock of piety and learning (so
marvelously springing up among you) maybe useful to that
great and glorious kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ ; of
the approach of which so jilentiful an elFusion of the spirit
upon those hopeful plants is one of the best presages. And
in all other things I shall by the divine assistance improve
my poor abilities and interests in manifesting my self to the
university, and your selves,' &c. Wliich letter being read in
convocation, the members thereof made the house resound
with their cheerful acclamations.

' [But the parliament interposing in that affair seems to have been occa-
sioned by what hapned the year before, wfien the proctors refusing to obey
the directions of the visitori were ordered into custody. Macro,]

These proctors were elected contrary to the Caroline
cycle, which appointed Trin. and Wadh. colleges to elect
this year. So that the cycle being interrupted (for those
colleges did not chuse till the year following) it continued
so till l662, as I shaU tell you when I come to that year.

This year Thom. Chiford of Exeter coll. did supplicate
for the (legree f batch . of arts ; but whether he was admitted
it appears not. This person,'" who was son of Hugh Clif-
ford of IJgbrook in "ie parish of Chudleigh in Devonsh. col.
of a regiment of foof,in the first expedition against the Scots,
by Mary his wife, dr.iighter of George Chudleigh of Ashton
in the said county baronet, was born there (at I'gbrook) on
the first of Aug. 1630, became commoner of Exeter coll. 25
May 1647, and afterwards went to one of the inns of court,
or to travel, or both, being then accounted by his contem-
poraries a young man of a very unsetled head, or of a roving,
shatter'd brain. In the beginning of Apr. 1660, he was
elected one of the burgesses for Totness in his own country,
to serve in that pari, which began at Westm. on the 25 th of
the same month ; and after his majesty's restoration, he was
chose burgess«agaiii for the same place to ser\'e in that pari,
which began 8 May Itiol ; wherein shewing himself a
frequent and forward speaker, especially in behalf of the
king's prerogative, he was taken notice of by the great men
at court, and thereupon taken into favour, and had the
honour of knighthood confer'd upon him. Afterwards he
attended James duke of York at sea, an. 1 665, in the battel
fought against the Dutch in the beginning of June, continued
at sea also the same year when the fleet was commanded by
Edward earl of Sandwich, and was in person at the expe-

dition at Bergen in Norway : which attempt upon the Dutch
in that port was made on the 2d of Aug. the same year. He
was also in that year sent envoy to the txvo nortliern kings
of Sweden and Denmark, witli full power to conclude new
treaties and alliances witli them. In l66i) he attended his
highness Pr. Rupert, and the duke of Albemarle, at sea
against the Dutch, and was in that fight which continued on
the 1st, 2d, 3d, and 4th days of June, being with 'the same
generals also upon the 25tli of July following in another
great light with the Dutch. On the 8th of Nov. following,
his niaj. gave him the white- staff of comptroller of his
houshold, in the place of sir Hugh Pollard kt. and bt. who
died the day before, and on the 5th of Deceml). following
that, he was sworn of his maj. privy council, for his sin-
gular zeal, wherein he had, on all occasions, merited in his
maj. service, and more eminently in the honourable dangers
in the then late war against the Dutch and French, where he
had been all along a constant actor, and, as 'tvras observed,
liad made it his choice to take his share in the warmest part
of those services. On the 12th of June l668, died Charles
vise. Fitzharding treasurer of his majesty's houshold ; where-
upon sir Tho. Clifford changed his white-staff, and was by
liis majesty advanced to that place the day following ; and
Francis lord Newport succeeded Clifford as comptroller :
Much about which time his maj. by patent made him one of
the lords commissioners of his treasury. In 16/1 his maj.
gave him a lease of 60 years of the pastures of Creslow in
Bucks, and in the same year he finished a new chappel at
Ugbrook, which was consecrated, and dedicated to St. Cy-
prian, by Anthony bishop of Exeter. Upon the death of sir
Joh. Trevor, and in the absence of Henry earl of Arlington,
he executed the ofRce of secretary of state in the year 16/2,
until the return of the said earl from his embassy in Holland,
and Mr. Hen. Coventry from his embassy into Sweden. On
the 22d Apr. 1672, his maj. by patent created him baron
Clifford of Chudleigh in Devonsh. apd in Jurf' following he
gave him and his heirs males the manors of CTi.nington and
Rodway Fitzpayne in Somersetshire. ;^''. the 28th of Nov.
the same year, his maj. valuing his many eminent services,
and his great abilities and experience in the affairs of his
treasury, he was pleased to advance him to the place of lord
high treasurer of England, which had remained void since
the death of Tho. late earl of Southampton : At which time
his maj. confer'd the place of treasurer of the houshold on the
lord Newport before-niention'd, and the place of comptroler
on M'ill. lord Maynard. On the 29th of Mar. 1673, an act
of pari, passed for the entailing of Ugbrook, and the rectory
of Chudleigh on his lordship and the heirs of his body, and
on the 19th of June following he resigning into his majesty's
hands his staff, as lord treasurer, (because he, as 'twas said,
refused the test) it was thereupon given by his maj. to sir
Tho. Osborne knt. and bart. In the beginning of the winter
following the lord Clifford died,' and was, as I suppose,
buried at Chudleigh.^

person, who was son of Joh. Greenwood, was born at
Sowerby in the vicaridsje of Halifax in Vorksh. became
scholar of Christ's coll. in Cambr. an. 1645, or thereabouts,
where spending as much time as made him capal)le for the
degree of batch, of arts, went to Oxon, and by the endeavonrs
of his uncle Dr. Dan. Greenwood principal of Brasen. coll.
was made fellow of that house in 1 648, in which year several
of the ancient fellows thereof were ejected for their loyalty.
In 1653 he became rector of Steeple Aston near Dedington
in Oxfordshire, by the presentation thereunto of the princ.

soon after made fellow thereof. In 1 655 he left his fellow-
ship, being about that time beneficed at St. Mildred's Bread-

till the ejection of the loyal fellows of Line. coll. wa.s made

where he behaved himself verj' factious and turbulent. On
the I St of May 166ohe resign'd his fellowship, otherwise had
he tarried there a little longer, he had been expell'd. About
which time, by money and friends, he obtained one or two
rich parsonages, and in I662 became canon residentiary of
Chichester, and afterwards doctor of div. at Cambridge.
This is the person, who shewed himself a zealous brother for
the interest and party of Jan)es duke of Monmouth, for
whose title to the crown speaking certain matters at Chi-

Creations.

Apr. 9. Will. Stephens a parliament man, and oneof the
judges of the admiralty, was openly declared in convocation
doctor of the civil law by a diploma then dated, by virtue of
a statute tit. x. §. 4. ' quo magnates vel nobiles honoris causa
gradus academicos intra universitateui dignentur,' as it is
said in the publ. reg. of tt'is time. He died in l658, being
then an inhabitant of the isle of Wight.

Jul. 3. Edw. Wise of Exeter coll. esq; who had spent
some terms in Cambr. was actually created batch, of arts.—
On the 24th of July 1652, it was granted by the delegates of
the univ. that he the said Edw. Wise (ex nobili stemmate
ortus, as they say) might be admitted to the degree ot mast,
of arts in congregation ; but whether he was really admitted
it appears not.

Sept. 9. Sir Thom. Honywood of Essex knt. was ac-
tually created doct. of the civ. law. ^This person, who

was brother-in-law to sir Hen. Vane, (the same who was
beheaded in i6D2) was a committee-man in the time of the
long parliament tliat began 3 Nov. 1 640, was also a military
man, appear'd as such against the royalists in Colchester,
and led as a colonel, a regiment of Essex men to fight at
Worcester iigainst king Charles II. an. 1651. To which
place coming in good time, he endeavoured to shew his va-
lour against kingship, and the house of Stuarts. In l65'l,
he was one of the knights to serve for Essex in that parlia-
ment began at Westm. the 3d of Sept. the .same year, and a
knight again for the same county in that pari, which began
at The sau' ;i!ace 17 Sept. 1656; both which parliaments
were callei' ' \ ()liver lord protector : And being a man soft
in spirit, r.rj ! luo easy, like a nose of wax, to be turn'd on
that side where the greatest strength then was, was taken
into Oliver's court, and by him made one of the other house,
that is the house of lords. One sir Rob. Honywood, his near
relation, was made one of the council of state about the l6th
of Mav 1059, but had no degree confer'd on him in this
university as I can yet find.

Thom. Cooke a colonel of the county of Essex, was

created doct. of the civ. law the same • j (^^j ,;„•, p„g^ to

The first of these three was afterwards a commissioner of
the county of Essex for the ejecting of such whom the godly
party then (1654) called scandalous and ignorant ministers
and schoolmasters, and the same year was cho.=en burgess
for Maiden (of which he was recorder) in the same county
to serve in parliament, being then a justice of peace, and an
inhabitant of Havering. In l656, and 59, he was elected
burgess again for the same place to serve in the two parlia-
ments called in those years by Oliver and Rirhard, being
then a leading and forward man for the cause then drove on
and professed. He was father to Philip Matthews of Great
Gobions within the liberty of Havering in Essex, created
baronet the I3th of June 1662. The second, Herlakinden,
was a commissioner or committee-man for the said county
of Essex, a godly brother, and a leading man in the times of
usurpation, as Earle was.

Dec. 22. Joii.N BoNCLB commonly called Buxkley, was
actually created M. of A. by virtue of the chancellor's letter
(Oliver Cromwell) which speak very honourably in his behalf,
as that ' his eminent learning and worth is such that I ac-
count that I may very freely commend him unto you.

He is known to learned men. He is like to adorn that

degree (viz. master of arts.) A considerable ornament tO

the university,' &c. The same day he was elected superior
beadle of divinity (in the place of John Blagrave deceased)
by virtue of the letters from the said chancellor also. But
Boncle being soon after made m<ister of the Charter-house
school near London in the place of Sampson Wilson removed
to a living in Peterborough,' he resigned his Ijcadleship in
the year following. Afterwards he became master of Eaton
school and fellow of the coll. there : whence being remov'd
after the restoration of king Charles H. he became master of
the school in INIcrcers chappel in London, where he was living
in 1673.

In the latter end of July this year, Ralph Austen deputy
registrary to the visitors, for Will. Woodhouse, and regis-
trary afterwards in his own right, was entred a student into
the public library, to the end that he might find materials
for the composition of a book which he was then meditating.
The book afterward he finished and entit. it A Treatise of
Fruit-trees, shewing the Manner ofGrn/'ting, Planting, Prun-
ing, and Ordering of them in nil Respects, according to new
and eaxy Rules of Experience, &c. 0.\on, l657i sec. edit. qu.
Ded. to Sam. Hartlib esq; This book was much commended
for a good and rational piece by the honourable Mr. Rob.

or books which he afterwards published : and it is very pro-
bable that the said book might have been printed more than
twice had not he, the author, added to, and bound with it,
another treatise as big as the former entit. The spiritual Use
of an Orchard, or Garden of Fruit-Trces, &c. Which being
all divinity and nothing therein of the practice part of garden-
ing, many therefore did refuse to buy it. He hath also
written A Dialogue, or familiar Discourse and Cortference
between the fln.s/iandman and Fruit-Trees, in his Nurseries,
Orchards and Gardens: wherein are discovered many useftd
and profitable O/jservatinns and Experiments in Nature in the
Ordering of Fruit-Trees for temporal Profit, &c. printed
1676, 79. in Oct.* much of the former book, is, 1 presume^
in\olv'd in this. This Mr. Austen, who was either a pres-
byterian or independent I know not whether, was a very
useful man in his generation, and spent all his time in Oxon
to his death, in planting gardens there and near it, in graft-
ing, inoculating, raising fruit-trees, &c. He was born in
Staffordshire, and (lying in his house in the parish of St.
Peter in the Baylie in Oxon, was buried in the church be-
longing thereunto, in the isle joyning on tl.e south side of

returned a well bred gentleman, wrote two or more political
pamphlets in defence of the prerogative, without his name
set to them, and therefore he would not publickly acknow-

March. Nedhain among the writers, an. 1678. This Mr.
Perot, who was fellow of Oriel coll. died on the 23d of Apr.

whereupon his body was buried near to that of his grand-

servitor of the said coll. 13 June 1647, aged 16 years, took
a degree in arts and then was made fellow tliereof. After he
had proceeded in that faculty he became straightway a male-
pert preacher in and near Oxon : and at lengtli having a
turn to jireach at St. Mary's on Tuesday, a lecture day, 25
July 1654, he did then deliver a very offensive sermon
preached on Job. 37. 22. With God is terrible Majesty. In
which sermon speaking of the attributes of God, particularly
of that in tlie text, he took a hint from the word terribilis,
(which might, as he said, signify with son.ie terra bilis) to
say that God was a Melancholy God, &c. and in the conclu-
sion to maintain that ' those that had no teeth to gnash,
should gna.sh their gums,' &c. For which sermon he being
call'd into question, was in a fair way of expulsion, but by
the intercession of friends, the business was compromised :
yet two years after he was forced to leave his fellowship

liking conformity, he removed (as others did) beyond the
seas into Holland to avoid the censures of episcopal con-
sistories ; where remaining till the beginning of the long
parliament, he returned, and became one of the assembly of
divines at Westminster : ♦ but disliking their proceedings, he
left tliem and aliout the same time had preferment confer'd
upon him. At length upon the increasing of the independ-
ents, he, being one himself, struck in with Oliver Crom-
well, became his favorite, and l)y his i)ower president of
Magd. coll. about the beginning of Jan. l649, purposely to
promote the independent cause in this university, which he
afterwards did to the purpose by his constant preaching at
St. Mary's, by his sometimes preaching in his coll. chappel,
and by his setting up and continuing a weekly meeting in his
lodgings in the said coll. where all those that were to enter
into that fraternity were openly to make a confession of
their sins, &c. In 1653 he was one of the prime men
appointed by ordinance to be a trier or commissioner for the
approbation of public preachers, and the year following he
was ap(K)inte<l one of the assistants to the commissioners of
Oxfordshire, for the ejection of such, whom the saints of
that time called scandalous, ignorant and insuflScient ministers
and schoolmasters, that is, loyal and orthodox divines ;
whom, especially such that had rich benefices or well endowed
schools, be sure they ejected, and either took their benefices
themselves or confer'd them on their confiding brethren or
those of their church. In the beginning of the year I660 he
was removed from his presidentship to make room for Dr.
Joh. Oliver; whereupon retiring to London, lived mostly in
the parish of Great St. Bartholomew, where dying 23 Feb.
1679, aged 80 years, was buried in a little vault towards the
east end of the new burial place for dissenters, joyning on
the north side of the new artillery-yard or garden by Bun-
hill fields near London. Over the vault was soon after
erected an altar-monument, with a large inscription thereon
engraven,' made by the common epitaph-maker for dissenters
called Tho. Gilbert batch, of div. now a nonconformist
living in Oxon. After his death, his works consisting of
Expositions, Sermons, Theological Discourses, &c. were ga-
thered together and published in two volumes in fol.® (with
his picture before them much resembling the author while

living) by Thankful Owen and Jam. Baron. Lond. l68l :

before which is a canting preface written by the said two
persons, wherein many things are said of the author and his
learning. See in Phil. Nye among the writers, under the

about to tell you.

Doctors of Physic.

Apr. 1 1. John Arnold of Mert. coU. He afterwards
withdrew himself and stood not in the act to compleat his
degree, went to York and there practised his faculty to the
time of his death.

John Betts of C. C. coll. was adm. the same day.

He accumulated the degrees in phys.

June 21. Ralph BATHUHST.'qf Trin. coll. He accu-
mulated, having before ' been*' employed in the service of
the state as physician to the sick and wounded of the nary :
which work he managed with much diligence and success to
the full satisfaction both of the generals at sea, and also of
the commissioners of the admiralty,' &c. After his majesty's
restoration he re-assumed his former fac. of divinity, became
one of the royal society, president of his coll. one of his
majesty's chaplains, and on the 28th of June 167O was
installed dean of Wells, upon the promotion of Dr. Rob.
Creighton to the see of Bath and Wells. In Apr. 1691^ he
was nominated by their majesties bishop of Bristol, with
liberty to keep his deanery in comniendam, but he refused it,
because he was minded to carry on his benefaction to his
coll. being then about to re-edify the chappel thereof, and
to do good thereunto and his church of Wells. He is
accounted a most celebrated Latin poet, as it appears by
those many copies of verses of his that are extant, some of
which are made public in a book lately printed at the theatre
in Oxon, entit. Musarum Anglicannrum Analecta, &c. printed
in Oct. " And in the third part of the Miscellany Poems, is
" one Oh the Death of the learned John Selden."

minister in Northampton, where he now continues an aged
man.' In IO76, June 8, he was installed archdeacon of
Norwich, (in the place of Mr. John Reynolds deceased)
which dignity was confer' tl upon him by Dr. Edw. Reynolds
bishop thereof, whose (hiughter he formerly liad married ;
and oti the 3(1 of Dec. 168I he was installed preb. of Wor-
cester in the place of Nath. Tomkins deceased. He is a
learned, jiious and meek diviue, but hath published nothing.
Seth Ward of Wadh. coll. Savilian professor of astroa.
was adn)itted in the same convocation.

May 31. John Wallis of Ex. coll.'' Savilian professor of

geometry.^ .\bout this time arose a controversy between

Dr. M'allis, and Dr. Ward before-meiition'd concerning se-
niority in doctorship.' Wallis aver'tl tliat lie was incor-
porated M. of A. of this university before Ward and there-
fore 'twas his, but it appearing that Ward stood first in the
proctor's book at Cambridge (for they proceeded in arts both
in one year) the vice-chancellor Dr. Owen decided the mat-
ter on Ward's behalf: whereupon Wallis went out grand
compounder, and so got seniority not only of Ward but of
the rest that proceeded in divinity this year. Dr. Wallis was
afterwards, against oath an<i statute, elected Custos .'\rchi-
vorum in the place of Dr. Langbaine, at which time stood
for that office one every way capable of it, viz. Dr. Rich.
Zouche ; which being a most unjust act, as being carried
on and done by the godly brethren, therefore did Hen.
Stubbe write and publish T/ic Saviiian Professor's Case
stated, &c. as I have told you iu my discourse of him, an
1676, vol. iii. col. 1073.

which being poor, had conimons daily allowed to them in
Ch. Ch. hall, by the favour of Dr. J oh. Owen the dean, and
the then canons of that house.

July 18. It was then granted by the delegates of the uni-
versity, and afterwards by the convocation, that Sam. Smith
late fellow of St. Joh. coll. who was admitted to the degree
of batch of arts 12 years before this time (since which he
was a constant preacher, partly in Essex, but mo.stly in Lon-
don) might be actually created M. of A. in any convoc. or
congreg. — ^I'his person is now, or at least was lately, ordinary
of the prison in Lond. called Newgate, and hath published
several things.

Nov. 23. Sam. Birch of St. Mary's hall, who had been
several years a captain in the pari, army, was actually created
M. of A. being then between 30 and 40 years of age. — He
was about this time made one of the chaplains of C. C. coll.
and afterwards being averse to conformity, he taught a
private school at Shilton in Berks, near Burford in Oxford-
shire, where he had constantly under his tuition the sons of
divers personsof quality, and those too who were good loyalists.
He died at that place 22 Jan. 1679, leaving behind the cha-
racter of a good man among the precise people, but other-
wise among the neighbouring royalists, who esteem'd him an
instiller of evil principles into youth.

Feb. 12. GusTAvus Queckfeldt a noble Sweed of high
birth, and eminent for his learning, lately commended to the
favour of tlie university by an Englishman called sir George
Fleetwood a baron of Sweden, was actually created doct. of
the civ. law.

Benedict Queckfeldt brother to Gustavus, commended
also by the said sir Geo. Fleetwood, was at the same time
created doct. of the civ. law.

These two persons, with Joh. Stuart another Sweed,
were then sojourners and students in this university, as they
had been about a year before, purposely to have the benefit
of the publ. library. The said two brothers, are now, or at
least were lately, men of great name and place in Sweden.
The last, or the younger, who in his printed book, or books,
writes himself Benedictus Gustavus Queckfeldt Sudremanius
Suecus, tliat is, I suppose, of the province of Sodermanland
in Sweden, did some exercise for the said degree which he

to his coll. in Oxon.

Oct. 10. Pet. Du Moulin D. of D. of Leyden in Holland,
(afterwards confinned or incorporated at Cambr.'') was then

incorporated in this univ. in the same degree. He was

the son of Pet. Du Moulin the famous Protestant writer of
France, came into England in his elder years ; but whether
he had preferment before the ijrand or presbyterian rebellion
broke forth I know not. After Ireland was reduced by the
pari, forces, he lived there, sometime at Lisinore, Yoghal,
and Dublin, under the patronage of Richard earl of Cork.
Afterwards going into England, he setled in Oxon (where
he was tutor or govemour to Charles vise. Dungarvan and
Air. Rich. Boyle his brother, canon commoners of Ch. Ch.)
lived there two or more years, and preached constantly for a
consideraljle time in the church of St. Peter in the East.
After the restoration of king Charles II. he became chaplain
in ordinary to him, and prebendary of Canterb. where he
spent the remaining part of his days.* He hath written,

subscribed by tlie king of France his ambassador in Engl,

knowledge had of his great merits, his late relinquishing the

Rom. church, and zeal for that of the reformed. This

of Henry earl of Thomond, and was afterwards one of his
majesty's privy-council in Irel. He died in Aug. 1678, to
the very great grief of his relations : Whereupon his widow
Katharine, baroness Clifton, sister and heiress to Charles
sometime duke of Richmond,* was married to sir Joseph
Williamson, one of the principal secretaries of state, in
Decemb. following. By which match, tho' he lost his place
of secretary, by the endeavours of Tho. earl of Danby, wlio
intended her for one of his sons, yet he obtained large pos-
sessions in Kent and elsewhere, and the hereditary high-
stewardship of Gravesend in the said county.

Philips, 'J another of the same gang- (afterwards proctor of

did on the 21st of May iQig make a motion to the society
of that house that forasmuch as the younger fell, had bad
chambers, they would allow that the outward thappel (which
they said was useless) might be converted into chambers for
them to lodge in, &c. Whicli motion being looked upon by
the sen. there (men of the old stamp) as a horrid and villan-
ous thing, they did not dare to express it so, for fear of
danger tiuit might ensue, but pas.^ed it over as a slight mat-
ter. Afterwards this Mr. Bedford, who was a forward and
conceited person, and presum'd to take his degree of batch.

May 14. John Collins M. A. of Camb.' Whether he

be the same John Collins who was doct. of div. and author of
Several Discourses concerning the actual Providence of God ;
divided into three Parts, &c. Lond. 167S, jg, tpi. and of
other things as 'tis probable, Icannot yet tell. He is not to
be taken to be tlie same vvitli John Collinges batch, of div.
and'sometimes minister of St. Stephen's parish in Norwich,
a frequent writer before this time, because their names differ.
See the titles of some of his works in Bodley's Catalogue and
elsewhere in others. Now I am got into the name of Col-
lins I cannot but let the reader know something of John
Collins the accomptant, who, having been a person of extra-
ordinary worth," considering his education, yon may be
pleased therefore to know that he was born at \\'ood-Eaton
near to, and in the county of, Oxon, on Saturday 5 March
l6'24. His father was a nonconformist divine, and tho" not
suffer'd to preach in churches, yet in prisons to malefactors,
which, with the correcting of the press, obtain'd him a sub-
sistence. At KJ years of age Joht> Collins was put an ap-
prentice to a bookseller (one Tho. Allam) living without the
'I'url-gate of Oxon, but troubles .soon after follow ing, he left
that trade, and was employed in clerkship under, and
received some mathematical knowledge from, Mr. Joh. Marr
one of the clerks of the kitchen to prince Charles, afterwards
king Charles II. I mean the same Mr. Marr wiio was eminent
for his mathematical knowledge, and noted for those his ex-
cellent dyals, wherewith the gardens of his majesty king
Charles I. were adorned. But the intestine wars and troubles
increasing, Collins lost that employment and went, seven
years to sea, most part of it in an English merchant-man,
that became a man of war in the Venetian service against
the Turks : in which, having leisure, he applied part of his
studies to matliematics, and merchant-accompts, and upon
his return he fell to the practice thereof, and afterwards
profess'd writing, merchant-accompts, and some parts of
mathematics : and having drawn up some books of accompts,
and divers loose questions, for the instruction of his scholars
in the year 1652, he committed them to the press, under the
title of An Introduction to Merchants Accompts. They were
reprinted in l665 witiiout alteration, and in 1666 the fire
consumed the greatest part of the impression. At length it
was reprinted with the addition of two more Accompts than

were formerly extant. On the 12th of Oct. 1 667 he was
elected fellow of the royal society upon the publication in
the Philos. Transact, of his Solution of a Problem concerning
Time, to tvit, about the Julian Period, with divers Perpetual
Almanacks in single Verses ; a Chorographical Problem, and
other things afterwards in the said Transact, concerning
Merchants Accompts, Compound Interest, and Annuities, &c.
While Anthony earl of Shaftsbury was lord chanc. he nomi-
nateil him in divers references concerning suits depending in
Chancery, about intricate accompts, to assist in the stating
thereof, whicii was some emolument to him, and to the
shortning of the charge of the parties concern'd : from which
time especially, his assistance was often used in other places
and by other persons ; whereby he not only obtained some
wealth but a great name, and became accounted in matters
of that nature the most useful and necessary person of his
time, and thereupon, towards his latter end, he was made
accomptant to the royal fishery company. His works,
besides those before-meution'd, are among others (1) The
Sector on a Quadrant : or, a Treatise containing the Descrip-
tion and Use of Jour several Quadrants, &c. Lond. l658, quj
in which there are very curious prints of two great quadrants,
and of two small quadrants, with particular projections on
them serving for tlie latitude of London. See in the Astro-
nomical Appendix to The Sphere of Marc. Manilius made an
English Poem. Lond. 1675, fol. pag. 116, written by Edw.
Sherburne esq; afterwards a knight. (2) Mariner's plain
Scale new plained. This is a treatise of navigation and was
print, in IdSQ. In which, besides projections of the sphere,
there are constructions for many astronomical problems and
spherical propositions. This book hath found good ac-
ceptance, and is now become a common theme to the scholars
of Christ Ch. hospital in London, whereof forty (by his
majesty's bounty and the establishing a lecturer to instruct
them) are constantly taught navigation. (3) Treatise of
Geometrical Dyalling, print. \Q5Q. 'Tis of good esteem,
both for the newness and easiness of method in situating the
requisites, and drawing the hour-lines. (4) The Doctrine

Plant accomptant. What other things Mr. Collins hath
written I know not ; and therefore I shall only say, that if
we did not further enlarge by telling the world how much it
is obliged for his pains in exciting the learned to publish
their works, and in acting the part of an ingenious obstetrix
at the press, in correcting and in drawing of schemes, we
should be much injurious to his memory. After the act at
Oxon was finished, l682, he rode thence to Malmsbury in

Wilts, in order to view the ground to be cut for a river
between Isis and Avon : which journey being performed
between twelve at noon and eleven at night in a hot day, he
did, at his arrival in his inn, drink more than lie shouhl at
that time (being very hot and his blood not setled) of red-
streak cyder ; which giving him an astmu, and that a con-
sumption, he died thereof in his lodging on Garlick-hill in
London, on Saturday 10 Nov. 1683; whereupon his body
was buried on Tuesday following in the church of St. James
Garlick-hith in the south isle just behind the pulpit.

son of Yorkshire, was admitted a student of Trin. coll. near
Dublin, 5 May 1647, retired to Oxon, in the latter end of
1650, entred himself a student of St. Mary's hall, and as a
member thereof he took the degrees in arts : Afterwards
applying his mind to the study of phys. had the degree of
doctor of that faculty confer'd on him at Aurange before-
mention'd in tlie middle of March 1656.

Chichester, and Dr. Gilbert Ironside to Bristol, by the
bishops of London, St. .^saph and Rochester, by virtue of a

5 [It was his usual way while he was drawing up his Synopsis and An-
notations, to rise very early in the morning, about three or four o'clock, and
take a raw egg about eight or nine, and anotlter about twelve, and then to
continue his studies till the afternoon was pretty far advanced; at which
time he laid study aside, went abroad, and gpent the evening at the house of
some friend or other. At such times be would be exceedingly, but in-
nocently, merry, very much diverting both himself and his company. After
supper, when it grew towards time to go home, he would say * Now let us
call for a reckoning ;* and then would begin some very grave and serious
discourse, and when he found the company was composed and serious,
would bid them good night and go home. When Dr. Oates's depositions,
&c. were printed, Poole found his own name in tlie list of those persons
who were to be cut off upon the account (as was supjwsed) of what he had
written against the papists in his Nullity. To this he gave not the least
credit, till one night having been at alderman Ashhursts, when he went
liome, be to<jk one to bear him company ; and when they came together to
the narrow passage that goes from Clerkenwell to St. John's court, there
were two men standing at the entrance, and when Poole came along, one of
them cried out to the other, * Here he is!' whereupon the other said, * Let
him alone, for there is somebody with him.' As soon as they were passed,
Poole asked his friend, whether he heard what those men said. He an-
swered that he did. Well, says Poole, I had been murdered to-night, had
not you been with me. This made him give heed to what he disregarded

batch, of phys. by dispensation from the delegates. 1

find this person to be admitted to the said degree 15 June
1661, and the same day admitted to practise his faculty.

Jul. 29. Richard Cromwkll chanc. elected of the univer-
sity of Oxon, was actually created mast, of arts in a convo-
cation of certain d(>ctors and masters of the tiniversitylield
in Whitehall, within the liberty of Westminster, and soon
after, in the same convocation, he was installed chancellor of
the said university, which was the first public honour done

unto him in the nation. He was the eldest son of Oliver

lord protector, and had no other breeding than in hawking,
hunting, horse-racing, &c. He was a boon companion, and
had done no service in the i)ailiament army, unless it was the •
often drinking his father's landlord's (king Charles II.) health.
His abilities in praving and preaching and love to the
sectaries was much like those of his cousin Rich. Ingoldesbie,
inention'd among the creations of M. of A. under the year
1649. However be being designed to be his father's suc-
cessor in the protectorate, was, about the time that this

colonel in the army, (when fi2:hting was over) to the end
that he might have an interest in parties and parts of the
body politic, and the first lord of the other house. About
that time he was commonly called ' The most noble lord
Richard,' and rife discourses there were of Richard the
fourth, but tliey proved no more than the story of queen
Dick. On the 4th of Sept. l658, he was proclaimed lord
protector (his father dying the day before) at tlic usual
places in London where kings use to be, and soon after had
addresses flew to him at Whitehall from all parts of the three
nations, to salute and magnify his assumption to the
sovereignty, wherein he was celebrated for the excellency of
his wisdom and nobleness of mind, for the lovely compo-
sition of his body, &c. as if he had been another Titus,
Delicia; Gentis & Dominii Britannici, &c. In the latter end
of Apr. 1659 he was, as a pitiful thing, laid aside and deposed:
whereupon withdrawing to Hursley in Hampshire, absconded
there for a time. He had before taken to wife Dorothy
daughter and coheir of Rich. Maijor or Mager of Hursley
beforc-mention'd, son of John Maijor sometimes mayor and
alderman of Southampton, by whom he had issue Oliver
Cromwell and other children. The other daughter and
coheir named Anne was married to John Dunch of Pusey in
Berks, son of Sam. Dunch of North Baddisleyin Hampshire
esq; by whom he had a son named Major or Maijor Dunch
and other children. This Rich. Cromwell, who was born in
the antient borough of Huntingdon, has gone thro' no death
as yet, only a political one.^ His younger brother formerly
called lord Harry, lord lieut. of Ireland, was born also at
Hun. and died, and was buried some years since at Wickhen
in Cambridgeshire.'

well chanc. of the university.

Dec. 2. Abraham Cowley the great ornament of our
nation, as well by the candor of his life, as the excellency of

his writings, was created doct. of phys. This gentleman,

who is justly characterized to be Anglorum Pindarus, Flaccus,
Maro, delicia;, decus, & desiderium aevi sui, was born in
Fleet-street near to the end of Chancery-lane in the parish of
St. Dunstan in the West in London, an. 1618. His father,
who was a grocer, dying before the son was born, the
mother, by her endeavours and friends, got him to be a
king's scholar at Westminster, where in the year 1633, being
then going into the sixteenth year of his age, he composed a
book called Poetical Blossoms ; whereby the great pregnancy
of his parts was discovered. Soon after having obtained the
Greek and Roman languages, he was removed to Trin. coll.

3 [He died at Cheshnnt in Hertfordshire, where lie had long resided in
privacy, under the name of Richard Clark, July 13, IT 12.]

' [Richard Cromwell. The rev. Mr. Griffith, rector of Hursley, told nie
upon his own knowledge, that in or near that town, the enemies of that
Richard Cremwell, upon the king's return, had put up a sign in contempt of
him, representing a mock monarch falling from his throne, explained by the
name ol tumble dmm Dick, and that when his corps in a herse, brought down
from London in order to be buried at Hurseley, came just opposite to the
said sign, the carriage broke and the coffin was thrown down, as if to fulfil
the omen of tumhk down Dick. He left t^vo daughters, of which the eldest
was married to Dr. Gibson, an eminent physitian in Hatton-Garden, Lond.
unkle to the lord bishop of London, and the youngest, unmanied, lives with
her widow sister, and after their decease, the bishop of London, besides the
legacies already left to him by his said unkle, will liave a good estate. There
was in the life-time of Rich. Cromwell a suit between him and his daughters
for a part of their brother's estate; upon which occupation Richard Crom-
well came into the court of chancery, and in respect to \\ hat he harl once
been, the lord chanc. Cooper ordered a chair to be set for him, whereon he
sate down, &c. Kennet.]

in Cambridge, of which he was elected scholar, an. 1630}'
where by the progress and continuanceof his wit, it appeared
that two things were joyn'd in it, which seldom meet
together, viz. that it was ripe and lasting. In the beginning
of 1643, he being then M. of A. was among many others
ejected Ids coll. and university : whereupon retiring to Oxon,
he setled in St. Job. coll. and under the name of a scholar of
Oxon he published the same year a poem entit. A Hatyre:
The Puritan and the Papist. In that house he prosecuted
his academical studies with the like success as before, and
was not wanting in his duty in the war it self, whereby he
became acquainted with the great men of the court and the
gown. After he had left Oxon (which was a little before the
surrender thereof for the use of the parliament) he went to
Pariu, where falling into the acquaintance of Dr. Stephen
Goffe a brother of the Oratory,^ he was by him prefer'd and
placed in the family of the noble and munificent Henry lord
Jermyn, afterwards earl of St. Alban'e : who having a great
and singular respect for him, he was by his most generous
endeavours designed tq be master of the Savoy hospital ;
which, tho' granted to his high merit by both the Charles's,

I. and 2. yet by certain persons^ enemies to the muses, he
lost that place. He was absent from his native country
about 10 years, which were for the most part spent either in
bearing a part in the distresses of the regal family, or in
labouring in the affairs thereof. In the year l6fi6 he returned
into England, and was for a time brought into trouble, but
afterwards complying with some of the men then in power,
(which was much taken notice of by the royal party) he
obtained an order to be created doctor of physic : which
being done to his mind (whereby he gained the ill-will of
some of his friends) he went into France again, (having
made a copy of verses on Oliver's death) where continuing
towards the time of the blessed restoration of king Charles

II. he returned ; but then not finding that preferment con-
fer'd on him which he expected, while others for their money
carried away most.places, he retired discontented into Surrey,
where he spent the remaining part of his days in a private
and studious condition, mostly at Chertsy, where he had a
lease of a farm heltl of the queen, procured for him by
George duke of Bucks, from the earl of St. Alban's before-

persons of eminent quality, and there, in the south cross isle,
or large isle joyning to the south side of the choir, was
buried near to the place where the relitjues of Jeffr. Chaucer
had been lodged. About the middle of May I67J, the said
<luke of Bucks did, at his own charge, erect over ins grave a
curious pedestal of white marble, and a stately urn placed
thereon. On the pedestal is a most elegant and befitting
inscription engraven, made by his great admirer Dr. Tho.
Sprat' before mention'd, and all inviron'd with an iron

Petrus Schumacheuus a young Dane, was a sojourner
this, and several years after in Oxon, purposely to obtain

This person, who had been turned out of his fellowship of
Magd. coll. in this university by the visitors in I&IS, did
afterwards travel, took tl\e said degree at Pad. in the be-
ginning of Apr. 1654. After his majesty's return he was
restored by his commissioners, an. 166O, was a candidate of
the coll. of phys. and dying on the 25th of March 1686, was
buried in the chappel belonging to Magd. coll. near to the
north door which leads from the cloyster therein. I shall
make farther mention of this person when I come to speak
of Dr. Thomas Pierce.

Creations.

■ Apr.' 16. Will. Burt M. of A. chief master of Wykeham's
school near Winchester, was created doct. of div. by virtue
of the letters of Rich, Cromwell chanc. of the university.
This person, who was son of Will. Burt sometime belong-
ing to the choir of the cath. ch. at Winchester, was born in
the parish of St. Laurence in that city, educated in grammar
learning in Wykeham's school there, admitted perpetual fel-
low of New coll. in 1627, took the degrees in arts, and soon
after became master of tlie free-school at Thame in O.xford-
shire. In 1647 he was made rector of ^Vhitfield in the said
county, and soon after became chief master of Wykeham's
school before-mentioned in tlie place of Dr. Jo. Pottinger.
On the 9th of Sept. l658 he was Emitted warden of Wyke-
ham's coll. near Winchester in the place of Dr. Joh. Harris
deceased, and after his majesty's restoration was made pre-
bendary of the cathedral there. He hath published Concio
Oxonite habita postridie Comitiortim 13 Julii 1608 pro Gradu
Doctoris ; in Psul. 72. 17- Oxon, 1659. in tw. Dedicated to
Rich. Cromwell lord protector of England, with whom, and
the great men going before, in the interval, he kept pace.
This being all the exercise that he performed for the degrees
of batch, and doct. of div. I do therefore put him under the.
creations. He died at Winchesters July an. 1679j and was
buried on the south side of the altar in the chappel belong-
ing to the said coll. of Wykeham near Winchester.

May 14. Rob. Woseley or Wolseley who had been a
student in this university for 8 years time, and a burgess, as
'tis said in the register, in the late parliament, was actually
created master of arts. 1 cannot find his name in the

ctttulogues of ]>arlian)ent men that sate in the three parlia-
ments going before this time, only Charles Wolseley es<i;
who was one of Oliver's lords.

July 7. Paul Hartman of the city of Thorne in Prussia,

was actually created mast, of arts. He was afterward.s

one of the petty canons of Ch. Ch. and is now, or else was
lately, rector of Shillingford in Berks." This person, who
is brother to Ad. Sam. Hartman mention'd among the in-
corporations, an. 1680, hath written and ]>ubli8b^ certain
matters pertaining to grammar, as I have heard.

Doctors of Law,

May 18. Nicholas Staughton of Exet. coll. esq; was
admitted doctor of the civ. and can. law, being then dis-
pensed with for certain terms ; and on the 27th of June fol-
lowing, after he had spoken a formal speech before the
members of the university (for which he was laughed at,
because not at all desired or retjuired) he was admitted ad
suifragandum in domo convocationis & congreg. About a
month or two after was printed a sharp libel entit. Sundry
Things from several Hands concerning the University of Ox-
Jbrd, &c. And at the end of it were printed 25 Queries :
the last of which runs thus : ' Whether the boy Dr. Staughton
of Exeter coll. did well to lye in his scarlet gown that night
he was made doctor, since his degree was a thing he ought
not to have dreamed of?' He was then lord of the ancient
manor of Staughton in Surrey, \<'hich unexpectedly fell to
him after the death of divers persons of that name, and on
the 29th of January 166O, he was created a baronet.

csteem'd by all that knew him a good scholar, and a ge-
nerous and stout man. But so it fell out, that after Dr. Tho.
Pierce became president of the said coll. he found means to
expel him thence, an. 1662, under jiretence of having a hand
in the said vile ])amphlet ; but those then of the house, who
knew the proud and malicious humour of Pierce, have often
told me, that that was not the reason of his ejectment, but
because Dr. Jeanes had found fault with his Concio Synndica
ad Clerum Anglican, published that year ; wherein he said
were several barbarisms and false Latins. Which report
coming to the ears of Dr. Fierce, his malice became so great

the college. After his expulsion, which the generality of
the society were against and did lament, (because they knew
he was sorry for what he had done in his raw years) he went
to Peterborough, where he practised his faculty with good
success, but in his journey homeward from a certain noble
patient, in a dark night without a companion, his horse
foundred in a gravel-pit, tlurig him off from his back, and
was forthwith stifled, in the month of Nov. l663.

spent the remainder of his proctorship there. The junior
proctor wanting time when he was elected, a protestation
was openly read in convocation at the time of his admission
by Mr. Will. Hawkins of Ch. Ch. a candidate for the pro-
curatorial office. The particulars of which being many and
large, I shall now pass them by for brevity's sake, and only

The scene of all things was now changed, and alterations
made in countenances, manners and words of all men. Those
that for 12 years last past had governed and carried all things
in a manner at their pleasure, did now look discontented,
and were much perplcx'd, foreseeing that their being in the
university must inevitably vanish. Those that had lain
under a cloud for several years behind, appear with cheerful
looks; while others that had flourished, droopM, or with-
drew themselves privately, knowing very well that they had
eaten the bread of other men, and that if they should con-
tinue in the university, they should undergo a visitation and
censure by those persons, whom they themselves had for-
merly visited and ejected. But justice being to be done,
commissioners were appointed by his majesty, after his re-
storation, to rectify all things in the univers"lty, who sitting
several weeks in Aug. Sept. &c. restored all such that were
living unmarried to their respective places, and many that
were peaceable and willing to conform, and renounce their
factious principles, they kept in, &c.

of a place designed for him towards his subsistence, if he had
taken the degree of batch, of arts, for which he wanted a
little time. Whereupon the chanc. desired that he might be
dispensed with, for the defect of two terms, which was ac-

of both his names, took the said degree at Pad. in Dec.

phys. of Valence, was incorporated the same day. — —He

laird of Fingask, D. D. and principal of St. Leonard's coll.
in the university of St, Andrews, had been educated there In
humanity, and admitted M. of A. &c. Afterwards travelling
into France, he studied physic at Montpelier and Paris
several years, with a design to be doctorated in that faculty
at Padua, but the plague raging in Italy, he went to Lyons
for a time, and afterwards going to Valence in Daupheny,
he took the degree of doct. of phys. there, an. 165 7. After
his return into Engl, he was incorjjorated as before I have
told you, and soon after attended as physician on their royal
highnesses James and Anne duke and dutchess of York,
with his great uncle sir Joh. Wederbourne doct. of phys.
But after some years of attendance being wearied by the
court toil, most of the service lying on him because of the
said sir John's infirmity, he retired from that employment, as
the said sir John liad done a year before, and at length after
- many peregrinations he setled in his own country, and is
now livinii at Edinburgh in good repute for his practice.

knowing to the author) acquaint, by another hand, the said
Bidgood, then living at Exeter, of it. Whereupon Bidgood,
a covetous person,' fearing that such a passage as that might,
when made public, hinder his practice among the godly parly

history, to have it taken out : Whereupon Dr. Fell wondring

that he should scruple at such a passage, which made much

for his loyalty, the sheet, wherein it was, was reprinted, and

author of the aforesaid history, finding it not so in the

any invention of his own as some did surmise. This Dr.

Bidgood, who was honorary fellow of the coll. of physicians

at Lond. died very rich at Exeter on the 13th of Jan. I69O,

after he had cashier'd and disinherited his nat. son call'd Joh.

Sommers sometime M. A. of Trin. coll." His estate was

computed to be worth between 25 and 30,000/. the main

bulk of which he left to one Humph. Bidgood his kinsman,

and some to pious uses : And having been a person of a

surley and proud nature, and offensive in word and action,

he did a little before his death desire pardon and forgiveness

of all the world, especially of several persons with whom he

had any animosities.

Creations.

After the restoration of his majesty king Charles II. it was
his and the pleasure of the marquis of Hertford chanc. of
the univ. of Ox. and of sir E. Hyde, who succeeded him in
that office this year, tiiat there should be a creation in all
faculties of such that had suffer'd for his maj. cause, and had
been ejected from the university by the visitors appointed by
pari. an. 1648. 49. &c.

Masters of Arts.

Seventy and one masters of arts at least were actually
created, among whom, some that had not been suiferers,
thrust themselves into the crowd for their money. Others,
yet few, were gentlemen, and were created by the favour of
the chancellor's letters only. Among the 70 and odd masters
that were created, I shall mention these following.

joy of almost all Europe), was the natural son of Dr. Bidgood, a rich physi-
cian at Exeter, who, at his death, gave away his whole estate of 25 or .^O.ilOO
pounds to others, but nothing to his son. Whereupon he said to the said
Dr. B., his father, ' Sir, you begot me a bastard, bred me a gentleman, and
now leave me a beggar, — and so the devil take you.' T. C. (Coxeter?)

Charles was afterwards burgess for the town of Cambridge
to ser^e in that pari, that began at Westm. 19 May 1685,

and before, were sojourners for a time in the univ. of Oxon.

Aug. 23. Joh. Dropk of Magd. coll. This person,

who was son of Tho. Drope vicar of Cumnore near Abing-
don in Berks, was born in the vicarage-house there, became
demy of Magd. coll. an. I(i42, aged 16 years, or thereabouts,
bore arms for the king soon after within the garrison of
Oxon, made true and perpetual fellow of his coll. in 1647,
and ejected thence in the year following. Afterwards he
was made the first master of the free-school in Dorchester in
Oxfordshire, founded bv * Joh. Fetiplace
esq; abonl \654, but leaving it soon after Fimedit '"
he was succeeded therein by Dav. Thomas
usher of Thame school After his majesty's return he was
restored to his fellowship, studied physic, and practised it
afterwards in a market town in Lincolnshire called Burrough.
He hath written ( 1 ) An Hymentean Essay : or, an Kpithalamy

Octob. 1070, and was buried in the church of Burrough
before-mention'd.

created the same day, Aug. 23. 1 have mention'd him

already among the writers, an. 1671.

son of Joh. Metford of Crookhorne in Somersetshire, was
elected scholar of the said coll. from that of Merton, 28.
Jan. 1647, ejected soon after thence by the parliamentarian
visitors, but being restored in 166O, was, after he had been
created M. of A. made fellow of his house. Afterwards,^
by the presentation of the president and society tiiereof, he
became rector of Bassingham in Lincolnshire, (where he
now lives) and in -"^ug. 1687, he became preb. of Bole in the
church of York, by the resignation of Rob. Powell. He
hath published A general Discourse of Simony. Lond. l682.
oct. having been put upon the writing of it by Dr. Mitch.
Honywood dean of Lincoln, who was pleased to inform the
author with some resentment, of the too great progress of it
in the nation, bewailing the fatal consequence of it in the
church, and commanding him to say something (if possible)
to stop its growth.

Will. Fulman of C. C. coll, was created the same day.

as having been nominated by his said brother while he was

was no act, and at length to be fellow of the coll. at Eaton.
He was always esteemed a most excellent Latin poet, as his
copies of verses in several books occasionally published in
the name of the university, and in others, do manifestly
shew. He died at the house of Dr. George Benson preb. of
AVorcester* (who married his sister) on the 26th of Febr.

Feb. 14. Henry Hyde eldest son of Edw. lord Hyde of
Hindoo chanc. of this univ. (afterwards earl of Clarendon)
was diplomated M. of A. This Henry, who was after-
wards lord Cornbury, and after his father's death earl of
Clarendon, became lord chamberlain to queen Katharine, in
which office I find him in 1665," was sworn of his majesty's
most honourable privy-council, and took his place at the
board, 26 INIay 168O. In the middle of Kebr. 1684, he was
made lord privy-seal in the place of George marquess of
Hallifax made lord president of tlie privy-council, and about
the beginning of Dec. l685 (king James II. being then in the
throne) he was constituted lord lieutenant of Ireland : Which
honourable office he keeping a full year, was recalled, and
soon after the privy-seal was taken from him, as being a
person that answer'd not that king's expectation, &c. About
the time of his recallment, he wa_s elected high-steward of
this university, and after king William III. came to the
crown, he suffer'd in several respects, (without offence let it
be spoken) because he was a non-juror. He is a true son of
the church of Engl, a lover of the regular clergy, &c.

Laurence Hyde younger brother to Henry before-men-
tioned was also diplomated M. of A. the same day. In

.Apr. 1601 he was elected one of the burgesses for this uni-
versity to serve in that pari, which began at Westm. S of
May the same year, and on the 30th of Oct. following, he

with 'Will, lord Croft, and sir Charles Berkley groom of the
stole, and gent, of the liedchamber to James duke of York,
began their journey for France, the two former being sent
by his majesty, and the latter by the said duke, to the king
of France, to congratulate the happy birth of the dauphine,
of whom the queen was delivered Nov. 1 . stilo novo. About
that time he the said Laurence Hyde was made, by the en-
deavours of his father, master of the robes to his mfuesty,
and in 1676 or thereabouts was sent ambassador to Poland,
" and in 1 678 to Holland." In Oct. I679 he was elected
one of the burgesses for Wotton Basset in his own country
of Wilts, to serve in that pari, which was to begin on the
17th of the said month, and on the 19th of Nov. following
he became the first commissioner of the treasury, (being the
second of the four that were by his majesty appointe<l on
the 26th of March going before, upon the removal of I'ho.
earl of Danby from the office of lord treasurer) and being
then sworn a privy-cOun.<!ellor, he took his jilace accordingly
at the board. This was done when his majesty on the same
day was pleased to declare in council, that he hatl given leave
to .•\rthur e.irl of Essex to resign his place of first commis-
sioner of the said treasury, and that he intended his lordship
should continue of his privy- council. In the month of Apr.'
168I, his maj. was pleaseti, in consideration of his faithful
services in that office, and other employments of eminent
trust, to create him viscount Hyde of Kenilworth in War-
Turickshire, and baron of Wotton Basset in Wilts, and soon
after upon the death of Charles the young carl of Rochester,
to make him an earl by the title of earl of that city in Nov.'
(or thereabouts) l6S2. On the 24th of Aug. l684, his maj.
being then at Windsor, did declare in council the said earl of
Rochester lord president in the place of John earl of Radnor,
whom his majesty had given, in consideration of his great
age, leave to retire : Whereupon Sidney Godolphin, secretary
of state, was made first commissitmer of the treasury in his
place, and Charles earl of Middleton.in Scotland secretary
in Godolphin's place. In Feb. following, king James II,
who was then newly proclaimed king, did constitute him
lord high treasurer of England, and on the 16th of the said
month his majesty gave hiui the white-staff. On the 29th
of June l685 he was elected knight companion of the most
noble order of the garter, and was then invested with the
George and Garter, having been first knighted by the sove-
reign, and on the 22d of July following he was installed in
the royal chappel of St. (ieorge at Windsor ; at which time
were also installed Henry duke of Norfolk earl marshal of
England, and Henry earl of Peterborough groom of the stole
to his majesty. In the beginning of Jan. I6s6 he was dis-
charg'd of his pl.ice of lord treasurer; and soon after John
lord Ballasyse, Sidney lord Godolphin, Henry lortl Dover,
sir John Ernie chanc. of the exchequer, and sir Steph. Fox,»
were constituted commissioners for executing the said office.
On the first of March 1691 he was, with Richard earl of
Renelagh, Charles lord Cornwallis, and sir Edw. Seymour,
bart. sworn of their majesties hon. privy-council, &c.

7. Will. Pabsons of New coll. He had been a great

sufferer by the presbyterians, and had been kept in jail at
Cambridge I9 weeks for his loyalty to king Charles I. during
the rebellion. Afterwards retiring to his small living at
Birchanger in Essex,' did usually read the Common-Prayer
there in the times of usurpation, and therefore beloved of
the loyal gentry in those parts. After his majesty's restora-
tion he became prebendary of Chichester, rector of Lam-
bourne, and vicar of Great Dunmow in Essex. At the last
of which places he, dying of an apoplexy, was buried there
on the eleventh of July 1671, aged 7i years. This person,
tho' said in the register to be actually created doctor of the
civil law, yet in the letters of the chanc. of the university
written in his behalf, it is said that when he was subwarden
of New coll. and batchelor of law, he read his lectures for
doctorship according to the statutes, an. 1635.

JoH. Lo>VEN of Ch. Ch. who had been ejected thence for
his loyalty by the pari, visitors in l648, was actually created

the same day, Aug. 7- He was afterwards of Doctors

Commons, and usually lived at Rainham in Essex, where I
think he died, in the latter end of 1677.

Dec. 6. Pet. Mews of St. John's coll.

Feb. 16. Leolin Jenkyns of Jesus coll. This person,

who was the son of a father of both his names living at
Llanblethian in Glamorganshire, was born at Llantrissent in
the same county, and at 16 years of age, in 1641, he became
a student in Jesus coll. but the troubles in the nation soon
after following, he retired to his own country, and afterwards
became a tutor to several Welsh gentlemen of quality in the
house of Joh. Aubrey at Llantrithied in Glamorganshire esq;
which was then left void by sequestration ; where continuing
from 1648 to 1651, he removed with his charge to Oxon,
and there sojourned in an house opposite to Univ. coll. then
possess'd by Sampson Wliite a mercer, afterwards mayor of
the city, and a knight, where he educated them, as in Gla-
morganshire before, according to the way of the church of
England. In 1655 they were dispers'd, because they were
obnoxious to the then schismatical members of the univer-
sity, and forthwith travelled beyond the seas for 2 or 3 years.

to their respective parents and relations, he wiis invited by
the most loyal sir Will. W'hitmore of .\pely in .Mimpshire to
live with him, an. |658, the most ingenious Hob. N\'aring
whom he had for some years kept in liis family being then
dead ; where continuing till his mnjesly's restoration in
16dO, he then returned to Jesus coll. of which lie was first
made fellow, and soon after upon the resignation of Dr. Fr.
Mansell, principal, and doct. of the civ. law, as before 'tis
told you. Afterwards he retired to London, and in the time
of the Dutch war he executetl the office of judge of the Ad-
miralty for Dr. Joh. Exton, which he managed with great
dexterity and prudence, and at length was judge in his own
right; and when sir Will. Merick died, wliicli hapned, as it
seems, in Jan. 1668, he became judge of the prerogative.*
In Nov. 1669 he was sent by his nityesty to the king of
France, to claim the jewels of Henrietta Maria the queen
mother of England, then lately dead there, and after his
return he received the honour of knighthood from his ma-
jesty, on the seventh of January the same year. About
which time he was a recruiter (for Hyeth one of the Cinque-
Ports) in that pari, that began at Westminster 8 May 166I,
wherein, as his enemies * say, (who tell" us that he was the
son of a taylor, and indefatigably industrious in promoting
a peace for France, which has been our . . . . ) he affirmed,
that upon necessity the king might raise monies without
act of parliament. In the beginning of the year 1673, he
resigned his principality of Jes. coU. being then about to go
to Colen in Germany, with Henry earl of Arlington, and sir
Joseph Williamson in the quality of plenipotentiaries from his
maj . of Great Britain to mediate for a peace between the emperor
and king of France. Afterwards (being returned thence) sir
Leolin was sent in the same quality by his maj. to Neomag^n'
in Dec. 167.1 ; and in 1677, when Dr. Sheldon archb. of
Canterb. died, all the report then was, that he was to succeed
him in that see, being then esteemed eminent for his pro-
fession, for his great loyalty to his prince, love and care of
the church of England, and its orthodox clergy. In Aug.
1679, he was elected one of the burgesses of this university
to sit in that pari, which was to meet at Westm. on the 17th
of Octob. following, and on the eleventh of Feb. following
that, he was sworn one of his majesty's privy council, being
then appointed to succeed Mr. Hen. Coventry in the place of
secretary of state. On the 26th of Apr. 1 680 he was sworn
secretary, and received the seals which the said Mr. Coventry
then delivered up to his majesty, and in the beginning of
Feb. following he was chose burgess again by the members
of this univ. to serve in that pari, which was to begin at
Oxon on the 21st of March the same year. But so it was,
that the faction being then very high in their proceedings
and designs, which they carried on under pretence of pro-
secuting the popish plot, sir Leolin was so much oppressed

It was a scandal to the age that he was not made a judge in Westminster
hall. After the restoration 1 asking him how it happened he was not, he
told me he was represented at court as a superannuated man, and unfit for
such a place, but reiierd 1 knew him then to be a very acute man, and of
infinitely quicker parts than judge Mallet, who was then made lord chief

did not umlerstiiiul it, that iiis body "u-s in slioit time after
so much brolien, (foHowed with jrrciit and danperons indis-
positions) thiit he«ith leave obtained from liis maj did at
length on tlie 14th of Apr. lt)8l deliver up the seals of his
office to his maj. Whereupon giving a farewel to all secular
employments, he retired to a house at HaHnner«niith near
London which he had hired, and there spent the remainder
of his days. In the middle of March 1684 (king .lam. II.
being then in tiie throne) lie was elected burgess again by
the members of this university, to sit in that pari, which
began at VVestm. on the igth of May l685, but his bwly
being then exceedingly out of order, he did not sit. He
died on the first of Sept 1685, agctl 62 years;' whereupon
his body being embnlm'd, it was conveyed from Hammer-
smith towards Oxon, being then attended by some of his
friends and domestic servants. When it came near the city,
several doctors and principal members of the university, as
also the mayor, aldermen and citizens, some in coaches,
and others on horseback, met it, on the )5th of the same
month, and being conducted to the public schools, the vice-
chanc. bisli. of the diocese, and whole body of the university
received and placed it in the divinity school, which was fitted
for that purpose. On Thursday the l/th day, the vice-
chancellor, bishops, together with tlie noblemen, doctors,
proctors and masters met there in the said school in their
formahties ; and tlie memory of the deceased being soleni-
niz'd in a Latin speech by the university orator, the corps
was removed to the chappel of Jesus coll. where the vice-
chanc. principal thereof, read the offices of burial, and a
Latin speech was also spoken by one of the fellows, which was
accompanied with music and anthems suitable to the occa-
sion. He was a great benefactor to the new buildings in
the quadrangle on the west-side of the refectory of the said
coll. in his life time, and when he died he gave to the said
coll. 700/. per an. and the advowson of two churches. There
is a fair mon. over his grave in that chappel with a large

the then visitation. (l648.)

Aug. 2. TiioM. When second son of Matthew bishop of
Ely, and sometime a student of Cambridge, was created by
virtue of the chancellor's letters, which say that by force of
the late unhappy times he. was constrained to leave the
university of Cambridge (in divers colleges whereof hi<f
father was visitor) and for his proficiency in studies he was
fain to settle himself in the virge of the univers. of Oxon,
that the pressures under which his father lay for \y years
together were such, that he could not (his estate being taken
away) allow his children bread, much less supply their
expe.ices for living in colleges, and the taking of their
degrees, only to have the benefit of the public library, &c.
This ])erson, who was much addicted to music while he
studied in Oxon, which w<is about 8 years, was made arch-
deacon of Ely by his father after his majesty's restoration,
had other spiritualities, as I conceive, confer'd upon him-,
and became a member of the royal society. He died in
1679, being then of Wilberton in .the isle of Ely, and
whether he was doctor of the laws at Cambridge I cannot
tell."

The first, who afterwards practised physic in the city of
Salisbury, was createtl by virtue of the chancellor's letters ;
the other, who had been ejected his fellowship of Exet.
coll. by the parliament visitors in 16J8, was also createrl by
virtue of the said letters, which say that he the said D. Poll-
whele had from the beginning of the late unhappy troubles
vigorously and faithfully served his majesty under the com-
mand of Ralph lord Hopton, then of sir Jam. Smith in the
quality of a major of horse, and continued in arms until thd
surrender of Pendennis castle, from whence he went to his
late majesty of blessed memory, and afterwards followed his
now majesty for some time in Holland and Flanders : and in
or about the year 1650 he returned into Cornwall, his native
country, where he betook himself to the study and practice
of physic, &c.

probable from this lease that some part of the credit is due to Dr. Y'atc. At

with such men as the incomparably learned and excellent Bp. Fell, sir
Leoline Jenkins, the great benefactor of Jesus college, aud, I suppose, sir

The first of these two had performed his exercise for batch,

virtue of the chancellor's letters, whicli say thus of him

I have heard of the great worth and deserts of him, as well
in res])ect of his learning and orthodox judgment, as of his

inost exemplary life and conversation who for divers

years together hath lived in South Wales, &c. He was
afterwards bishop of St. Dav. and Wore, successively.

These four last doctors I have mention'd at large among
the writers in their respective places.

Bykom Eaton of Bnisen. coll. He was soon after

principal of Gloc. hall, and when Dr. Barlow became bish.
of Line, he gave him first the archdeaconry of Stow, and
afterwards that of Leicester, in which last he was installed 8
Sept. 1683.'

All the said doctors before-mention'd from Guy Carleton
to Byr. Eaton were created on the 2d of Aug.

At the same time were letters from the chan.tillor read for
George Jay of Ch. Ch. to be created D. of D. but being not
present, he was to be admitted when he made his appearance.

'Ihe said letter speaks thus of him. He continued a

student of Ch. Ch. for the space of 20 years and upwards,
and in the year I6l4 he proceeded M. of A. and was first
made grammar reader, then terras-filius at the public act,
and afterwards was made chaplain to the earl of Anglesea
and after to the duke of Bucks, and then to Dr. White bishop
of Ely lately deceased. .4nd now his majesty taking special
notice of Mr. Jay's worth and abiHties, as also of his services
done to him, and his sufferings for him, hath been gra-
ciously pleased, without any privity or seeking of his own.

Southampton, and born, and educated in grammar, there,
was admitted probationer fellow of the said coll. of Mert. an.
1635, proceeded in arts, and soon after entred into the sacred
function. In the time of the rebellion he left the college,
sided with the men that were uppermost, became rector of
Fovant in Wilts, and afterwards assistant to the commis-
sioners for the ejecting of such whom the presbvterians and
independents called ignorant, scandalous and insufficient
ministers and schoolmasters, an. l654. After his majesty's
restoration he became ])reb. of Nethcrbury in terra in the
church of Salisbury. D of D. as before 'tis said, and being
then esteemed an excellent theologist, the king's professor-
ship of divinity was otl'er'd to him upon Dr. Sanderson's
promotion to the see of Line, but he modestly refusing it, it
was confer'd on Dr. William Creed. In May 1671 he became
archdeacon of Salisbury in the place of Joh Sherman
deceased, and dying at Salisbury, on the second day of June

his archdeaconry was bestowed on Dr. Thomas Lambert on

he was installed on the second day of Sept. 167O in the place
of Dr. Joh. Croft deceased. Tliis person, who was son of
Herb. Astley, or Ashley rather, of Plymouth in Devonshire,
was, upon his accidental coming into Norfolk, taken into
the patronage of sir Jac. and sir Isaac Astley, and by them,
who took him to be their kinsman, was prefer'd to several

by the endeavours of that family, promoted to the said

person, wlio is a Nottingiiiimsliire man born,* was educated
in Pemb. Imll there, where lie had a Greek scholar's place,
commenced M. of A. entred into holy orders, and in 1()'12 or
thereabouts, lie became rector of Ulechindon in Oxfordshire,
and in the year following was incorporated M. of A. in tliis
university, as before I have told you. After his majesty's
restoration he became canon of Ely, fellow of the royal
society, canon of St. Paul's,* subdean of his majesty's chap-
pel (in the place of Walt. Jones" deceased) and subaluioner
to him. He is a great virtuoso and a person of many accom-
plishments, and hath obtained a great name for his most
wonderful art in making a young gentleman named Alex.
Popham, (son of colonel Edw. Popham, sometime an ad-
miral at sea for the long parliament ) who was born deaf and
dumb, to speak ; and how soon, and by what method he did
it, he tells you in an appendix to his most rare and ingenious
discourse of T/ie Elements of Speech, which I shall anon
mention. This great cure was performed by him (whereby
he is the first that is remembred ever to have succeeded
therein in England, or perhaps in the world) in his house at
Blechingdon, an. 1639 : and because it was a wonderful mat-
ter many curious scholars went from Oxon to see and to hear
the person speak, but he being afterwards called home by his
friends, began to lose what he had been taught by Dr.
Holder. Afterwards a great noise being made, that Dr. Joh.
Wallis had, by his art, made another young gentleman
named Mr. ^V^lalley, who had lost his speech ever since he
was five years of age, to speak, the said Mr. Popham was by
his relations sent to the said Dr. Wallis to make him speak,
which he effecting, he afterwards very vainly assumed the
glory of it to himself, without taking notice of what had
been before done to him. This Dr. Holder hath written
The Elements of Speech, an Essay of Inquiry into the natural
Production (yf Letters ; with an Appendix concerning Persons
that are deaf and dumb. Lond. 1669, oct. as also A Supple-
ment to the Philosophical Transactions of Jxdy l6'70, viith
some Reflections on Dr. Wallis his Letter there inserted,
Lond. 16/8 in two sh. in qu. This last was written by him
to vindicate himself that he had taught Mr. Popham to
speak, which Dr. Wallis in the said letter did claim to him-
self. Whereupon, soon after, Dr. Wallis (who, at anytime,
can make black white, and white black, for his own ends,
and hath a ready knack of sophistical' evasion, as the writer
of these matters doth know full well) did soon after publish
an answer to that Supplement entit. A Defence of the Royal

While he was young his relations discovered in him most
excellent gifts and abilities both of body and mind, and
therefore nothing was by them spared to j)romote and
enlarge them, as being also blessed with a fair estate. How-
beit, when he grew elder, as he did duly prize these advan- '
tages of birth, estate, and parts, so did he not content him-
self therewith or value himself thereby, but laboured after
what might render him more deservedly honourable, and
more truly to be called his own, as being obtained by the
concurrence at least of his endeavours. First then as God
had given him a quick apprehension, piercing wit and sound
judgment; so by his great industry and constant use of
these gifts he ditl highly improve and advance them. He
was from his childhood addicted to study, and ever after [140]
when he came to the use of reason so great a husband of his
time, that he did not willingly lose or let slip unoccupied the
least fragment of it, detesting no vice more than idleness,

others : nay, so excessive was he in the prosecution of his
studies without any intermission or diversion that most of bis

impair his health by his uncessant labours and perpetual
inteiitiun of mind upon business. AVhence it came to pass
that lie obtaine<i very great skill in all parts of learning, and
particularl) a deep insight into those sciences which are most
abstruse and impervious to vulgar capacities; I mean the
most subtil parts of the mathematics. Of his skill in natural
philosophy^ chiefly the history of animals (birds, beasts,
fishes and insects) 1 shall say no more at present, but that it
hath not been my hap to meet with any man either in England
or beyond the seas of so general and comprehensive know-
ledge therein. To pass by his eminent virtues, as his humi-
lity, sobriety and temperance, exemplary cliastity and purity,
his justness, constancy, charity, &c. I shall give you the
catalogue of his works, viz. ( 1 ) Ornilfiologiee Libri tres : in
quibus Aves omnes hactenus cognita in Melhodum Naturis
suts convenientem redacta accurate describuniur, Descripliones
Iconibus eleganlissimis, £r vivarum Avium simillimis, JEri
incisis illustrantur, Lond. 1676, fol. Viewed, corrected and
digested into order by Joh. Ray fellow of the roy.al society.
Afterwards it was translated into English, with an Appendix
added to it by the said Mr. Ray. — Lond. 1678, fol. The
author Mr. VV'illoughby observing in the busy and inquisitive
age he lived in, the history of animals alone to have been in
a great measure neglected by Englishm. he made the study
thereof his province, applying himself with all diligence to
the cultivating and illustrating of it. Which that he might
the more effectually do, he not only read what had been
written by others, but did himself accurately describe all the
animals he could find and procure either in England or beyond
the seas, making a voyage into foreign countries, chiefly for
that purpose, to search out, view and describe the several
species of nature ; and tho' he was not long abroad, yet
travelled he over a great part of France, Spain, Italy, Ger-
many and the Low Countries. In all which places he was
so inquisitive and succes.sful, that not many sorts of animals,
described by others, escaped his diligence. He drew them
out or described theiu with a pencil, which are witii great
curiosity engraven on copper plates, at the charge of his
relict Emin, and are printed in the Latin and English edition
of the said Oniifhnlogia. He hath also written (2) HistoruB
Piscium Libri i/natuor, &c. Oxon, 1686, fol. Which work
was with great pains, view'd, review'd, made fit for use, and
the two first books entirely compleated by the said most
eminent virtuoso Mr. Ray. It is adorned with very many
cuts of several sorts of fishes, that were not ever before
known in England. (3) Letter containing some considerable

and inquisitive persons, especially those of the royal society,
(of which he was an eminent member and ornament) to his
friends and all good men that knew him, and the great loss
of the commonwealth of learning, on the third day of July
1672, aged 37 years, was buried, as I presume, at Middleton
among the graves of his ancestors.

The first i>f these two, who was esteemed a good preacher,
and therefore put upon preaching before the king and pari,
at Oxon, in the time of the rebellion, and upon that account
had the degree of doctor confer d upon him, died in Magd.
coll. 13 Apr. \68'i, aged 84, or thereabouts, and was buried
in the outer chappel there. I he other, who also had his
deirree confer'd upon him on the like account, was then
canon of Litchfield (which they call the golden pnlend) by
the favour of Dr Frewen bishop thereof (to whom he was
chaplain) and afterwards becaiue preb. of Hustuait in the
church of York, and archdeacon of ^ ork, or of the Wost-
Kiding of 'Sorksh. in the place of Dr. Rich. Marsh ^ de-
cetised: in which last dignity he was installed 19 0ct. 1663.
He died at Slimbridge in Glocestershire (of which he was
rector) on the first of August, an. 1688.

king (Charles II ) and his friends, while they lived in those

of Bucks, in the place of Rob. Newell/ who died in Uie time
of the civ. war.

.Tul. Q. David Michkll (Sanctamlriniius as in the reg. he
is called) preb» of Westminster, was created by virtne of the
chancellor's letters, which say, that Mr. Dav. Michell of
r,,|Qi Aberdene is a person very learned and honest, and from the
beginning of the troubles has been a great sufferer for the
cause of his mnjesty and the church, &c. This worthy per-
son was bom in the shire of Merne, was minister at Edin-
burgh, and there challenged for Arminianism in the time of
the covenant, and forced afterwanis to fly into Kngl. where
he enjoyed some benefice during his exile. After his maj.
restoration, he was made preb. of Westm. as before 'tis told
you, and on the first day of June 1662 he was consecrated
bishop of Aberdene at St. Andrew's, with Dr. Wishart to
Edinburgh, where sitting but one year, died of a fever, and
was buried in the cath. ch. of St. Macchar at Old Aberdene
among his |)redecessors.

Jul. ig. Tho. CiouGEs of All-s. coll. On the 23d of

Apr. 1643, he was collated to the prebendshij) of Woodford
and Willsfoi-d in the ch. of Salisbury, and afterwanis suffered
much for the royal cause. After the return of his maj. he
was restored to his ])rebendship, was installed archdeacon of
Winchester on the death of Dr. George Roberts, 19 Mar.
1660, and soon after became preb. of Westminster. After
his death his archdeaconry was bestowed on Dr. Walt. Dayrel,
and his preb. of Salisburj- on Dr. Will, Lloyd, to which he
was collated in Dec. 1667, but who succeeded him in Westm.
I cannot yet tell. In 1629, the said Tho. Gorges was elected
fellow of All-s. coll. with Gilbert Talbot a native of Wor-
cestershire, son of Sherington Talbot an inhabitant then of
Lacock in Wilts : Which Gilb. (who was originally of Ch.
Ch.) was by his majesty sent ordinary agent to the republic
of Venice, about l638, was afterwards a sufferer for his
cause in the time of the rebellion, and having thd honour of
knighthood cofifer'd on him, became master of the jewel-
house, and one of the first 21 persons who w€re appointed
by his majesty to be of the council of the royal society at its
first institution, &c.

Sept. 5. Will. Barker of New coll. was created doctor
for his laudable sermons preached before the king and ])arl.

at Oxon during the time of the rebellion. He was now

jweb. of Canterbury, and dying in his rectory-house at Hard-
wick in Bucks, 26 Mar. 1669, was buried in the church
there. I have seen his epitapli, wherein 'tis said, that he
was always noted for his orthodox sermons, and for his fre-
quent and innocent conceits and jests.

Sept. 9. Rich. Rallikgson or Rawuncson of Queen's
coll. chaplain to the duke of Newcastle, was created while

the chancellor held the supreme chair in convocation.

He was an ingenious man, well skill'd in the mathematics,
l)ut had not preferment confcr'd on him equal to his merits.
He died in 1668, being then, as I conceive, rector of Pul-
borough in Sussex.

the rebellion breaking out soon after, he left the university
without a degree, and closed with the predominant party;
That in l648 or before he retired to the university again-;

in gram, learning in the coll. school at Westminster, in
academical at Cambr. whence he return'd to Westm. and
was an usher under Mr. Rich. Busby. Afterwards he be-
came master of the free-school in the town of his nativity
(founded by Richard Cornwell cit, and skinner of Lond. 2/
Eliz. Dom. 1585.) and at length the first master of the free-
school founded at Whitney in Oxfordshire by Hen, Box a
druggist of Lond. after his majesty's' restoration : At both
which places continuing several years, he did much good by •
his sedulous instruction. In I672 or thereabouts, he became
rector of Hambleton near Great Wycomb in Bucks, and
about that time one of his majesty's chaplains in ordinary.

Doctors of Divinity.

Apr. 9. Rich. Watson of Caius coll. in Cambr. and
chaplain to James duke of York, was declared doctor in
convocation, he being then absent; whereupon a diploma
for it being drawn up, it was sealed on the tliird of the ides
of the sanje month. He had been master of the free-
school in Cambr. while he was fellow of the said coll. and
being a most zealous man for the ch. of Engl, preached a
sermon 1'uiu.hing Schism in St. Mary's church there an.
1642, which being highly offensive to the presbyteriaiis, he
was ejected from his fellowship and school. Afterwards, to
avoid their barbarities he fled into France, was patroniz'd at
Paris by sir Rich. Browne clerk of his majesty's council,
officiated for some months in his oratory or chappel there,
and was one of those English divines who did many times
argue with the contrary party concerning the visibility of
their church. The said sir Richard also endeavoured to have
such an establishment made for him, as thereby, in the most
difficult of times, he might have had a comfortable subsist-
ence and a safe protection under his sacred roof, besides the
other graces and civilities received from him. Afterwards
he became chapl. to Ralph lord Hopton, in whose service he
continued till that lord's death, being then accounted one of
the prime sufferers of the English clergy beyond the seas.
After his majesty's restoration he did not return with hinv
but continued at Caen till 166I, and then repairing to his
native place, became chaplain to the duke of York, rector
of Pcwsy in Wiltshire in Septerab. 1662, preb. of Warmister

col. 519. and in Thorn. Jones in the fourth vol. col.5I. among

be imposed upon to confer degrees on those they never saw,
and great grumbling there was : with which the chanc.
being acquainte<l, he by his letters dated the 30th of the said
month doth in a manner excuse himself for what he had done
for several reasons ; the contents of which being large, I shall
now for brevity's sake omit them.' This Hen. Carpenter,'

Sept. 28. James Fitz-Roy duke of Monmouth, vise. Don-
caster, &c. was incorporated M. A. as he had stood at
Cambr.' at which time the king, queen, and their respective
courts were in Oxon.— — He was presented by the university
orator with a Haltering speech,* and in the plague year lt)65,
when the said king and queen were at Oxon, he was entred
as a member in C. C. coll. there. This person, who was the
eldest natural son of king Charles II. was begotten on the
body of Mrs. Lucy Walters alias Barlow of Pembrokeshire,
as I have lieard, who, as a spy, was by Oliver imprison'd in
the Tower of London, in the beginning of 1656, but released
thence in July the same year. He was born atRoterdam in
1649, and for some time nurs'd there, but when his father
king Charles II. went into Scotland to be there crowned by
the presbyterians, he w.as (being then known by the name of
.lames Crofts) committed to the care of his grandmother
Hen. Maria the queen mother of England, then in France.
And what became of him afterwards, a book written by
S. T. a novice, and an unskilful author, will tell you, the
title of which is, An Historical Account of the heroic Life
and magnanimous Actions of James Duke of Monmouth, &c.
Lond. 1683, oct. Which book coming out in his life time,
I shall only add this, that for raising a rebellion in the West
parts of England in the beginning of king James II. (against
whom he had acted several times very unworthily while he
was duke of York, in order to the disinheriting him of the
imperial crown) was taken, carried to London, committed to
the Tower, and at length on the 15th of July l685 was
beheaded on Tower-hill ; whereupon his body was buried in
the church or chappel there, dedicated to St. Peter ad vin-
cula. Having now this just opportunity laid before me, I
shall give you the names of all or most of the natural
children of the said king (Charles II .) but before I begin with
them you are to know that the said Mrs. Walters gave out
that the said king did beget on her body a daughter, but
because he would not own her, I shall not number her
among the children. She was first married to a gentleman
of Ireland, and afterwards to Will. Fanshaw one of the
masters of the requests. The second was Charlott begotten

on the body of Boyle viscountess Shannon, sister to

Tho. Killigrew groom of the bedchamber to king Charles II.

who was first married to Howard the only son of Tho.

Howard a younger brother to the earl of Suffolk, and after
his death to Will. Paston son and heir to Robert viscount
Yarmouth. She died in her house in the Pall-Mall within
the liberty of Westminster 28 July l684, and was buried
without any arms of her own (because the king had not

had been given to king Charles II. when he took to wife
Katharine the infanta of Portugal) on the 17th of (Jet. 168O;

as I presume, in the abby church of Westminster. Qu. (4)
Charles Fitz-Roy duke of Southampton, begotten on the
body of Barbara,, wife of* Roger Palmer, esq; (afterwards
earl of Castlemaine) and da^ighter of Will, Villiers lord
Grandison ; which lord dying of his wounds received at

Ch. in Oxon ; over whose grave a stately monument was
erected some years after his majesty's restoration by his said
daughter Barbara, This .Charles Fitz-Roy, who was born
in Kingstreet in Westm. anB was f&r some timfe^iNiobleman
or canon commoner of Ch. Ch. married the daughter and
heir of sir Henry Wood sometime one of the clerks of the
Spicery in the reign of king Charles I. and afterwards one
of the clerks of the Green-cloth, by his second wife, the
daughter of sir Tho. Gardiner sometime recorder of Lon-
don. This dutchess of Southampton died without issue
near Whitehall in Nov. or Dec. 168O, and was buried in the
abby church at Westminster. (5) Henry Fitz-Roy earl of
Ewston and duke of Grafton, begotten on the body ol^the
said Barbara wife of Roger Palmer. This Henry, (whom
the king for a considerable time would not oivn to be his
son, and therefore the titles of Charles Fitz-Roy were, in
case he died without heirs male of his body, to descend to
George Fitz-Roy, whom I shall anon mention) married
Isabel the only child of Henry earl of Arlington. He died
at Cork in I reland of a wound received while that place was
besieged by the forces of king William III. on the ninth of
Oct. 1690 : whereupon his body was conveyed into England,
and buried at Ewston in Suffolk near the body of the earl of
Arlington. (6) George Fitz-Roy earl of Northumberland,
begotten on the body of the said Barbara. He was bom in
a fellow's chamber in Merton coll. 28 Dec. 1665, at which
time the queen and her court lodged in that coll. as the king
did at Ch. Ch. to avoid the plague then raging in London
and Westminster. In the latter end of the year (in Jan. Or
Feb.) 1685 there was committed a clandestine marriage
between him and a woman of ordinary extract, widow of one
cai)tain Lucy of Charlecot in Warwickshire, a captain in the'
earl of Oxford's regiment, but were, as it seems, soon after
parted. (7) Charles begotten on the body of Elianor Quinn
or Gvvinn a comedian in the king's play-house, &c. was
born in Lincolns-Inn-Fields about the 14th or 15th of May

He is now duke of St. Alban's. (8) Charles Lends duke of
Richmond, begotten on the body of Lovisa de Querovall a

born in the Fall-Mall within the liberty of Westminster on
Christmas day or thereabouts, an. 1671, and died in France
of a sore leg about Michaelmas in 168O.

Here are eleven natural children set down, but whether in
order according to birth, I cannot justly tell you. There
was another liaughter begotten on the body of the said Bar-
bara dutchess of Cleveland which the king would not own,
because supposed to be begotten by another, and whether he
own'd it before his death I cannot tell. He also adopted for
his daugliter, the daughter of the said Rog. Palmer earl of
Castlemaine, which was born of Barbara his wife before she
had knowledge of his majesty. After her adoption she was
married to Thomas Lennard lord Dacres, earl of Sussex.

Besides these, who were created on the 28th of Sept. were
about 30 more (some of quality) that bud the said degree of
master confcr'd upon them. It was also granted at that time
to nine other persons to be cretitod when they were pleased to
require admission, among whom Mr. Rob. Hook sometime
of Ch. Ch. Oiow of the royal society) was one, but whether
he or they were admitted it appears not.

Doctors of Law,

Four were actually created on the 28th of Sept. the names
of which follow.

Sir Henry Bennkt knight, one of the secretaries of 'state

to his majesty. This gentleman, who was second son of

sir John Bennet of Arlington commonly called Harling^on
in Middlesex, by Dorothy his wife, daughter of sir John
Croft of Saxham in Suffolk, was educated in the condition of
a student in Ch. Ch. took the degrees in arts, and had the
reputation of a poet amdng his contemporaries, which was
evidenced by certain copies of his composition, occasionally
printed in books of vetses published under the name of the
university, and in others, in his time. In the beginning of
the civil war, when his majesty §xed his chief residence in
Oxon, he became under secretary to George lord Digby
secretary of stdte, and afterwards a gentleman volunteer for
the royal cause, in which condition he did his majesty good
service, especially at the sharp encounter near Andover in
Hampshire, &c. When the wars were ended, he left not his
majesty when success did, but attended his interest in foreign
parts, and, the better to fit himself for his majesty's service,
he travelled into Italy and made his remarks and observations
of all the parts and states of Christendom. Afterwards he
was made secretary to James duke of York, received the
honour of knighthood from his majesty at Bruges in March
(stil. nov.) 1658, and then was sent leiger to the crown of
Spain ; in which negotiation with that wary court, he carried
things with so much prudence, circumspection and success,
that his majesty, upon his hajipy return for England, soon
called him home, and made him keeper of his privy purse.
In the month of Oct. l662, he w:is made principal secretary
of state on the resignation of sir Edw. Nicholas, whereupon
the place of keeper of the privy purse was confy'd on the
son of Charles viscount Fitz-Harding, called sir Charles
Berkley, captain of the guards to James duke of York, and
governour ( under his highness) of the town and garrison of
Portsmouth, &c. In the latter end of the year l663 he was
made a baron of this realm by the title of lord .Arlington of,
Arlington in Middlesex, and in Apr. 1672 he was made earl
of Arlington. On the 15th of June following, he was
elected one of the knights companions of the most noble
order of the garter, and on the 22d of the same month he,
with George duke of Buckingham, began their journey
towards Holland, as ambassadors extraordinary and plenipo-
tentiaries to treat and settle affairs between the most Christian
king and the states. In Apr. 1673 he was appointed one of
the three plenipotentiaries to go from his majesty of Great
Britain to Colen, to mediate for a peace between the emperor
and the said Christian king, and on the 11th of Sept. 1674
he was, upon the resignation of Henry earl of St. Albans,
made lord chamberlain of his majesty's houshold : in which

honourable office he was confimicd by king Jam. II. when
he came to the crown. He died early in the morning of the
28th of July l685, aged 6/ years : whereupon his body was
conveyctl to his sc.it at Ewston in Suffolk, and there buried
in a vault under the church of that place. Two days after
his death his majesty king James II. gave the white staff of
lord chamberlain to Robert earl of Aylesbury, who, after a
short enjoyment of it, died much lamented in his house at
Ampthil in Bedfordshire, on Tuesday the 20th of Octob. the
same year. See more of him in the Fasti the first vol.
col. 491. The eldest brother of the said Henry earl of Ar-
lington was named John, knight of the Bath at the coronation
of king Charles II. created a baron of this kingdom by that
king, under the stile and title of John lord Ossulston, in Nov.
an. )68i. He was originally a gentleman com. of Pem-
broke coll. to which he was not only a benefactor by con-
tributing largely towards the building thereof, hut by giving
a fellowship thereunto.

Coventry. 1 have mside large mention of him among the

writers under the year l6b6.

RicuABD NicoLLS ouc of the grooms of the bedchamber
to James duke of York.

Will. Godolphik M. A. of Ch. Ch. and under .secretary

to sir Hen. Bennet before-mentioned. This person, who

was descended from the antient family of his name in Corn-
wall, was elected student of Ch. Ch. from Westminster
school, an. l651, where he continued, till his majesty's
restoration, under presbyterian and independent discipline :
afterwards getting into the service of the said sir Henry, he
was chose a recruiter for Camelford in Cornwall to serve in
that parliament that began at Westminster 8 May iSfil,
wherein shewing himself zealous for the prerogative liad
several boons bestowed on him. On the 28th of Aug. 1668,
his majesty confer'd on him the honour of knighthood, he
being then about to send him to the catholic king and queen
iiegent of Spain, to reside as his ambassador in that court,*
upon the return thence of Edward earl of Sandwich his
mtgesty's late ambiissador extraordinary there. So that
going, and continuing there sevcraj years, he changed his
religioa for that of Rome.

Doctors of Phi/sic.

Mar. 2& Rich. Kburden sometime known by the name
of J.\CKsoN, M. A. of St. Mary's hall, was then actually

created D. of P. He was the son of Gilbert Keurden,

(who died in 1662) .son of Rich. Keurden, (who died 1630)
son of Gilb. Jackson of Keurden near to Preston in Lan-
cashire, and was at this time and several years after a prac-
titioner of his faculty at Preston and in the country adjacent.
But his geny being more adequate to antiquities than his
proper profession, he neglected his practice and wrote in

honour of his country. Brigantia Lancastriensis reslau-

rata : Or, History of the honourable Dukedom, or County
Palatine of Lancaster, in 5 vol. in fol. The method of which
he printed in certain proposals by him scattered among his
friends, in July and Aug. 1688 ; wherein it appears that he
had then obtained several sums of money from some of the
gentry of Lancashire, and elsewhere, to print that work.'

Sir Hen. de Vic of the isle of Guernsey bart. He had

been resident at Brussells for king Charles I. near 20 years,
and after that he was made chancellor of the noble order of
the garter. He died 20 Nov. 1O72, " (so in his epitaph, but
" I rather think in 1671)" and was buried in the north cross
isle of the abby church dedicated to St. Peter in Westminster.
About that time his chancellorship went to Seth bishop of
Sarum and his successors in that see.

Doctors of Divinity.

Oct. I. Rob. Powell M. A. of AU-s. coll. was then
created by virtue of the chancellor's letters. This person,
who had been made fellow of the said coll. by the parlia-
mentarian visitors, an. 1648, was now archdeacon of Shrews-
bury, and afterwards chancellor of St. Asaph, and took all
advantages to thrust himself into other places, tho' he him-
self had been no sufferer for the king's cause, but rather an
enemy to him and his friends. After the letters of the chan-
cellor had been read for his creation, the generality of the
members of conv. cried non, and protested with great
clamours against his creation : whereupon a scrutiny being
made, he was by the falseness of one of the proctors pro-
nounced passed. Afterwards Dr. John Wallis presenting
him to the vice-chanc. he was admitted batch, of divinity,
and after another presentation by the said person, doct. of
that faculty.

Rob. South M. A. of Ch. Ch. of six years standing, was

created at the same time. ^Tliis gentleman, who had been

bred in the said house during the times of usurpation, was
now orator of the university and chaplain to the clianc.
thereof. After the letters of the said chiuicellor had been
read for his creation, the batchelors of divinity and master*
of arts were against it, (as they were .igainst that of Powell)
but at length after a scrutiny, the said doctor pronounced
him virtute juramenti sui (as he had done Powell) passed by
the major part of the house. Whereupon, by tlie double
presentation of Dr. John \Vallis, he was first admitted bat-
chelor, then doct. of divinity.''

James Sessions B. of D. of Magd. hall, was also then
(Oct. 1 .) created, but not at all denied.

At the same time the chancellor commended to the mem-
bers of convocation one Mr. John Clegge of St. Alb. hall, a
person of good affections, to the king and church, to be also
created D. D. but he did not then appear.

Mar. 21. Thomas Barton of Magd. liall was then created
by virtue of the chancellor's letters tiien read, which say that
he is master of arts, and hath been throughout the war
chaplain to prince Rupert in the army, &c.*

This year became a sojourner in the university to improve
himself in literature one Laurence son of Nich. Fessius a
Dane, born in the city of Schaane sometime belonging to the
king of Sweedland afterwards to the king of Denmark ;
which Laurence, after his return to his own country, wrote
several panegyrics on the king of Denmark, and other
things.

" Michael Strauchius a Saxon was a sojourner in the
" university, and entred into the public library 16 Aug. 1663.
" He afterwards professed at Wittemberg, and wrote some-
" thing in that faculty. So Geor. Matt. Konigius in Bib.

Among several foreigners tliat became sojourners and stu-

Sandius, who sojourned in an house near Qu. coll. and gave
his mind up for the most part to the perusal of Socinian
books, not only in the public library, but in others belong-
ing to colleges and in booksellers' shops. He was born at
Koningsberg in Prussia 12 Oct. 1644, and afterwards being
instructed by his father of both his names (the most noted
Socinian in the country wherein he lived, and therefore de-
prived of those places of trust which he enjoyed, about 1668)
in the Socinian tenets, was sent by him to Oxon to improve
them by reading and studying. Afterwards retiring to his
country he wrote and published several books, and after his
death (which hapned at Amsterdam on the last of Nov.
168O) was published of his composition Bibliotheca Anti-
Trinitariorum, &c. Friestad. l684, oct. in which, p. 169,

following this, he was elected from being scholar of C. C.
coll. to be prob. fell, of All-s. where he ended his days to
the great reluctancy of all those that were inwardly ac-
quainted with his most admirable parts. He had begun to
translate into Latin some of the philosophy of JMargaret
dutchess of Newcastle, upon the desire of those whom she
had appointed to enquire out a fit person for such a matter ;
but he finding great difficulties therein, through the con-
fusedness of the subject, gave over, as being a matter not to
be well performed by any. He died on the l6th of Dec.
1667, aged 21 years or thereabouts, and was inter'd in the
outer chap, of All-s. coll. Soon after came out an elegy on
his death, as having been a person that deserved (considering
his age) the best copy of verses that could be made by any
academian, as 1 shall tell you under the year 1668.

was of Trin. hall in that university.

Sept. 6. Edward Montague earl of Manchester, baron
of Kimbolton, &c. master of arts, and chancellor of the univ.
of Cambridge,' (which university he had ruin'd in the time
of the grand and unparallel'd rebellion) was incorporated in

the same degree as he had stood at Cambridge. After he

had been conducted into the house of convocation in his
master's gown and hood by the beadles, and seated on the
right hand of the vicechancellor, the orator of the university,

' [Edw. Montagn filius natu niaximus domiiii Henr. M. admissus socio-

who then stood on the other side, near and above the regis-
trary's desk, did then speak (directing his voice to him) an
eloquent oration : which being done, the said orator went
from his place, and going to, he took, liim by the hand, and
led him to the middle of the area, where he presentecl him
to the vicechancellor and ven. convocation ; which being
done, and he incorporated by the vicechancellor's sentence,
he re-took his place. This is that Kimbolton, who with 5
members of the house of commons were demanded by his
majesty on the 4th of Jan. ) 64 1 , for endeavouring to sub-
vert the fundamental laws and government, and to deprive
the king of his legal power, &c. and the same, who after he
had sedulously endeavoured to promote, did carry on, a re-
bellion, and continued his course till the wars were ceased.
.Afterwards striking in with Oliver, he became one of his
lords, that is, one of the lords of the other house, and was a
great man, a thorough-pac'd dissembler, &c. and never a
loser for his high actings against the royal family. After
his majesty's restoration, towards which he pretended to be
a great helper, when it could not otherwise be avoided, he
was made lord chamberlain of his majesty's houshold, and
in that quality did he, with Edw. earl of Clarendon chanc.
of the univ. come this year to Oxon from Salisbury, (where
they left their majesties) in order to have lodgings provided
for them, about to come hither to take up their winter-
quarters to avoid the plague then raging in Lond. and West-
minster. This Edw. earl of Manchester had a younger
brother named Walter Montague ' born in the parish of St.
Botolph without Aldersgate in London, educated in Sidney
coll. in Cambr. afterwards travelled beyond the seas, and
returning with an unsetled mind, did, at length, (after he
had been sent once or more into France about public con-
cerns) give a farewel to his own country, and religion where-
in he had been born and baptized, and going beyond the sea
he setled himself in a monastery, " or rather in the college^
" at St. Omers" for a time, and wrote A Letter in Justifica-
tion of his Change,* which was afterwards answer'd by Lucius
lord Falkland. Afterwards being received with great love
into the favour of the qu. mother of France, she made him
abbot of Nantveil of the Benedictine order in the dioc. of
Mets, and afterwards abbot of the Benedictines of St. Mar-
tin's abbey, near Pontois in the dioc. of Roan, in the place
of Joh. Franc, de Gondy deceased. He was also one of her
cabinet council, and a promoter of Mazarine into her service,
who, when fix'd, shew'd himself in many respects ungrate-
ful to Montague and his friends : And whereas Mazarine
made it one of his chief endeavours to raise a family, and to
do such things that might perpetuate his name, so Mon-
tague, who was of a most generous and noble spirit, and a
person of great piety, did act to the contrary, by spending
all that he could obtain for public and pious uses. In his
younger years before he left the ch. of England, he wrote
The Shepherd's Paradise. Com. Lond. 1629. oct. And after

he had left it Miscellanea spiritualia. Or devout Essays,

of Aug. l6()9, he soon after followed, as I have been in-
formed by one of his domestic servants, who told me fur-
ther, that he was buried in the clia|)pel or church belonging
to the liospital of Incurables at Paris. You may read much
of him in a book called Legeuda lignea, &c. Lond. 1653. oct.
p. 137, 138. &c. but that book being full of satyr, persons
of moderate principles believe little or nothing therein. " It
" was said that he was before his death elected archbp. of
" .... in Guien."

As for the other persons, who were incorporated besides
the said earl of Manchester, were these,

Dec. 8. JoH. Logan M. of A. of Gl.ascow, with liberty to
suflFragate in convoc. and congreg. which is all 1 know of
him.

Mar. 8. IIenr. Montague M. A. of Cambridge, a younger
son to the said Edward earl of Manchester, and others.

Creations.

The creations this year were mostly made on the 8th of
Septemb. when the said Edward earl of Manchester was
incorporated M. A. at which time the chancellor of the univer-
sity was then in Oxon.

Masters of Arts.

Rob. Montague vise. Mandevile eldest son to Edw. earl

of Manchester He was presented by the orator of the

university with a little speech, and afterwards was seated on
the left hand of the vicechancellor. " He was one of the
" gent, of the bedchamber to king Charles II." After his
father's death in 1671 he became earl of Manchester, and
died at Paris about the latter end of Decemb. according to
the English accompt, an. l682.

Charles Dormer vise. Ascot of Mert. eoU. eldest son of
Charles earl of Caernarvan.

Edward Capell of Wadh. coll. a younger son of Arthur
lord Capell.

Verb Bertie a younger son of Montague earl of Lindsey.

He was made Serjeant at law in 1675, and afterwards

one of the barons of the exchequer.

Charles Bertie his brother. He " became secretary

" to the lord treasurer in 1673, and" is now treasurer of the
ordnance.

Nicn.PEi.HAM bart. of Ch. Ch.

Scbope How knt. of Ch. Ch.

" The last was comptroller of the excise in I694."

Will. Dolben a counsellor of the Inner-Temple, and

brother to Dr. .John Dolben. He was afterwards recorder

of London, a knt. serjeant at law, and one of the justices of
the Kings-Bench.

Rich. Cooling or Coling secretary to Edw. earl of Man-
chester. He was afterwards secretary to Hen. earl of

Arlington while he was lord chamberlain, and on the 21st of
Feb. 1688 he was sworn one of the clerks of his maj. privy-

council in onlinary : at which time were sworn with him sir
John Nicholas knt. of the Bath, Will. Klathwait and Charles
Montague esquires. This Uich. Cooling was originally, as
it .seems, of All-s. coll.

The said nine persons were actually created on the 8th of
September.

Doctors of Law.

Sept. 8. Sir Cyrill Wyche knt. (son of sir Pet. Wychc
sometime comptrnler of his majesty's houshold,) now a

burgess in parliament for Kellington in Cornwall. He

" was born at Constantinoi)lc when his father was ambas-
" sador there, and had his name from his godfather Cyrell

" the patriarch whom the Jesuits murdred" was M. A.

of Ch. Ch. in the times of usuq)ation, was afterwards secre-
tary to the lieutenancy in Ireland, one of the royal society,
and a burgess in other parliaments.

Nov. 7. Sir Henneage Finch knt. solicitor general, and
one of the burgesses of the univ. to sit in parliament.

CoL Giles StrangEwaies sometime of Wadh. coll. now
a knight for the county of Dorset to serve in pari, was

created the same day. This most loyal and worthy gent.

who was of Melbury Samford in the said county, died 1675.

The said two persons were created doctors of the civil
law in a convocation held on that day, (Nov. 7.) after they
had communicated the thanks of the honourable house of
commons, lately sitting in the said con vocation- house, to
the members of .the university for their Reasons concerning
the solemn League and Covenant, negative Oath, &c. made
1 647. Laurence Hyde esq; another burgess for the univer-
sity, and sir Joh. Birkenhead were the other two that were,
besides the two former, appointed to return thanks, and
were then present in convocation ; but the first of these last
two was not created doctor of the civ. law, because he had
before been diplomated M. A. which he then thought was
sufficient, and the other created doctor, as I have before told
you.

Doctors of Physic,

Sept. 8. Robert Boyle esq; was created after Edw. earl

of Manchester had been incorporated. ^This honourable

person, who was the son of Richard the first earl of Cork,
was born at Lismore in Ireland, whence, after he had been
well grounded in juvenile learning, he went to the univ. of
Leyden, and spent some time there in good letters. After- *
wards he travelled into France, Switzerland, Italy, &c. and
spending some time in Rome, he was so much satisfied with
the curiosities there, that afterwards he never had any desire
to see or view the curiosities or antiquities of other places.
After his return into England, being then accounte<l a well-
bred gentleman, he setletl in Oxon, in the time of Oliver,
about 1657, where he carried on his great delight in severjd
studies, especially in experimental philosophy and chymistry,
spent much money, entertained operators to work in his
elaboratory which he had built for his own use, and often
did repair to the club of virtuosi in the lodgings of Dr.
Wilkins warden of Wadh. coll. and they to him, in his joyn-
ing to Univ. coll. and opposite to that of All-souls. Ai'Utt
his majesty's restoration, when the royal society was erected,
he was made one of the first members thereof, was one of
the council belonging thereunto, and the greatest promoter
of new philosophy of any among them. After he had left
Oxon for London, he setled in the house of his sister Kathe-

rine lady Ranelaugh,' where he erected an elaborntory, kept
men nt work, and carried on chymistry to the hist. The
books that he hath written are many, some of which are
printed beyond the seas, and are there highly valued : In all
'which he hath done such things for the benefit of the world
and increase of knowledge, that none hath yet equall'd,
much less gone beyond him. In them you'll find the greatest
strength and the genteelest smoothness, the most generous
knowledge and the sweetest modesty, the noblest discoveries
and the sincerest relations, the greatest self-denial and the
greatest love of men, the profoundest insight into philosophy
and nature, and the most devoute, affectionate sense of God
and of religion, as in any works whatsoever written by other
men, &c. This worthy person died the 30th of December
1691, aged 64 years or thereabouts, and was buried on the
7th of Jan. following at the upper end, on the south side, of
the chancel of tlie church of St. Martin in the Fields in
Westminster, near to the body of his sister the lady Rane-
laugh before-mention'd, who dying about a week before
him, the grief for her death put him in convulsion fits which
carried him off." Soon after were elegies and epitaphs on
him made public,' as also the sermon at his funeral, preach'd
by Dr. Gilb. Burnet bishop of Sarum ; in all which you'll
find just encomiums of him, as no doubt you will in the life
of him the said Mr. Boyle, about to be publislied by the said
doctor. The eldest brother of this Mr. Rob. Boyle was
Richard earl of Burlington and Cork. The next was Roger
earl of Orery a great poet, statesman, soldier, and great
every thing which merits the name of great and good. He
hath published four plays in heroic verse highly valued and

commended by ingenious men, and died in Octob. I679.
The third was Francis viscount Shannon, whose Pocket
Pistol, as he stiled his book, may make ' as wide breaches
in the walls of the capitol, iis many canons. These were
his elder brothers, and besides them he had seven sisters all
married to noble persons.

This year in the month of Septemb. Andr. Makvel a
burgess for Kingston upon Hull to serve in that pari, which
began at Westm. 8 May 1601, became a sojourner in Oxford
for the sake of the public library, and continued tliere, I
presume, some months. See in Sam. Parker among the
writers an. l6s7, where you'll find an account of him and
his works. In the beginning of Dec. following was eiitred
into the said library Arthur Trevor an eminent and famous
common lawyer, &c.

In January following Francis. Sandford an officer of
arms attending the king now in Oxon, was entred also in
the said library, with the liberty then allowed to him of a
student. This person having published several books, I
must, according to tlie method that 1 have hitherto followed,,
let the reader know, that tho' he was descended from the
antient and genteel family of the Sandfords of Sandford in
Shropshire, yet he was born in the castle of Carnow in the
county of VV'icklow in Ireland and half barony of Shelelak ;
which half barony was purcliased of king James I. by his
mother's father called Calcot Chambre. When the rebellion
broke out in Ireland, Francis being then about eleven years
of age, his relations carried him thence into England, setled
themselves at Sandford, with intentions to breed him a
scholar, but then the rebellion breaking out there, and his
family afterwards sufferers for the royal cause, he had no
other education than what grammar schools afforded. On
the 6th of June 13 Car. 11. he was by letters patent created
pur-isuivant at arms by the name and title of Rouge Dragon,
and afterwards on the 1 6th of Nov. in the 27th of the saitl
king's reign he was created Lancaster herald of arms :
Which office he held till 1689, and then surrendred it up.
He hath written and published (I) A genealogical History of
the Kings of Portugal, &c. Lond. 1664. fol. 'Tis partly a
translation. (2) The Order and Ceremonies used at the
Funeral of his Grace, George Duke of Albemarle, i^c. with
the Manner of his Effigies lying in State in Somerset-house,

doctor of the civil law confer'd on him.

Masters of Arts.

bury, an. 1682.

Sir Rich. Graham of Ch. Ch. bart. This gentleman,

who was usually called .sir Rich. Grimes, was the son of sir
George Graham of Netlierby in Cumberland bart. and after-
wards at riper years a burgess for Cockermouth in Cumber-
land to serve in several parliaments, particularly for that
which began at AVestm. the 26th of Jan. I679i fi'"' for tbat
which began at Oxon the 2 1st of March 1O8O. Afterwards
he was created by his majesty king Charles II. viscount
Preston in Scotland, and by king James II. was sent ambas-
sador into France upon the recalling thence of sir Will.
Trumbull. Some time after his return, he became so great
in the favour of that king, that «n the 28th of Octob. or
thereabouts, an. 1688, he was made one of the .secretaries of
state upon the removal of Robert earl of Sunderland, who
seemed very willing to be discharged of that office, because,
that having then lately changed his religion for that of
Rome, he thought it very requisite to make provision for a
safe retirement to avoid the danger that might come upon
him, if the enterprise of the prince of Orange should succeed,
as it did. In the said station of secretary the lord Preston
continued till king James II. left the nation in Dec. follow-
ing, who then would have made him viscount Preston in
Amounderness in Lancashire, but the sudden change of

affairs being then made, to the great wonder of all people,
there was no seal pass'd in order to it. In the beginning of
Jan. 1690 he was taken, with others, in a certain yatcht
going to France to king James II, u[)on some dangerous
design, as 'twas said, and thereupon being committiid

Doctors of Law.

Feb. 4. TiioM. Boteler earl of Ossory in Ireland, and
lord Boteler of More-park in England, the eldest son of
James duke of Onnond, and general of all the forces in Ire-
land, under his father now lord lieutenant of that kingdom,
■was created doct. of the civil law with more than ordinary

solemnity. He was afterwards made knight of the most

noble order of the garter, and in 1673 May 17 he was made
reer-aduiiral of the blue-squadron of his majesty's fleet, in
order to the great sea-fight against the Dutch, which shortly
after hapned : In which fight, as also in others, he gallantly
acted beyond the fiction of a romance. Afterwards he was
made lord chamberlain to the queen, and on the l6th of
Apr, 168O he was sworn of his majesty's most honourable
council. At length this brave gent, of whom enough can
never be spoken, died of a violent feaver in Whitehall on
Friday 30 July lO"80: whereupon his body was the next
evening carried privately, and deposited in a vault in the
chapel of Henry VII. joyning to the abbey church at West-
minster, there to remain till his father the duke of Ormond
should order the farther disposal of it. Afterwards it was
conveyed to Kilkenny in Ireland (as I have been inform 'il)
and there laid in the vault belonging to the Ormondian
[168] family, under part of the cath. church. His eminent loyalty
and forward zeal on all occasions to serve his majesty and
country, were manifested by many brave and generous ac-
tions j which, as they made him to be honoured and esteemed
by all when living, made him also when dead generally
lamented.' There were several elegies made on hts death.

To tlie churcli of Hempstead, near Gloucester, he gave all the tithes of
tlie parish to endow the same, purchasing the moiety of them from Henry
Powle, esq. for that use, and so made it a rectory, and built a good liouse
Icr the succeeding rectors upon a parcel of land which he purchased for that
use.

To the parish church of Bredwardyne, in the diocese of Hereford, his
lordship gave the tythe of a meadow called Robert's meadow.

To the parish church of Ditle Birch, in the diocese of Hereford, he gave
the tithes of AyUton's wood, being six. score acres.

To the church of Home Lacy, in the diocese of Hereford, he gave all the
tithes of the parish, made it a rectory, built a fair brick houie for the rector,
repaired the church, and beautified the same, adding very regular seats and

pt'WS.

.\nd to a chapel of ease in the same parish called Bowson, he gave the
great tiUies of that township.

To the church of Bosbury, in the dioceae of Hereford, he gave his tithes
of l^plemdon, alias Temple Court, in that parish.

His lordship also rebuilt part of the abbey-church of Dooz, in the diocese
of Hereford, built a new large tower for the bells, and was at the charge of
heving the same consecrated (all which cost IJOOi.) and built a very good
stone house, barn, and stable, for the rector there, and added to It the scite
of the manor of the abbey, and all the impropriate tithes of the parish. All
which donations, and the incidental charges in building, &c. amounted, at a
moderate computation, to at least ten thousand pounds.

And after this, about the year 1 670, John lord viscount Scudamore, having
an estate, which was the priory of Llanthorny, near the city of Gloucester,
finding a poor curacy of not above 10/. per annum, bought in the impropria-
tion of the place at a very dear rate, and gave it to the church for ever. The
same lord having the scite of the whole priory in his estate, procured a
private act of parliament to make all his estate that was tithe free and extra
parochial, to become for ever tithable at the full extent, and to belong to
Hempstead, within a mile of Gloucester, which now, by his bounty, is be-
come a rectory of good value, worth at least 150i. per annum, there being
an old demolished chapel in his priory ; he also gave the chapel yard worth
4'. per annum, to the church, and also built a neat parsonage house, which
cost full 700i., and dying before the house was finislied, ordered his executors
to conipleat the same, which was honourably done by them.]

commander as he was, the chiefest and best of which was
made by Thomas Flatman, which being his master-piece, he
was nobly rewarded for his pains, as 1 have told you among
the writers under the year 1688.

Geokge Douglas son of the marquess of Douglas in
Scotland, lately an officer of note in the army under the king
of France, now an officer or captain under the king of Poland,

Sir NicH. Armorer knt. governor of Duncannon castle,
with the territory adjoyning, in Ireland.

The said three persons were presented by Dr. Hen. Deane
of New coll. and created by the vicechanc. with a little com-
plimental speech : which being done, aud they conducted
ti) their respective seats among the doctors, Mr. George
Hooper of Ch. Ch. the dep. orator, did congratulate them
with an accurate speech in the name of the university.
Afterwards were created masters of arts certain noblemen
and persons of quality of this university, as I have before
told you among these creations.

In the latter end of this year, Joh. Jacob. Buxtokfius,
professor of the Hebrew tongue in the university of Basil,
became a sojourner in this university for the sake of the
Bodleian Vatican, and continued there some months. He
was a learned man, as by the things that he hath published
appears.

9 [The Lord Chancellor to the University.

Good Mr. Vice-Chancellor,

Having found it necessary to transport myself out of England,
and not knowing when it will please God that I shall return again, it becomes
me to take care that the University may not be without the service of a
person better able to be of use to them than I am like to be. And I do
therefore hereby surrender the office of Chancellor into the hands of the said
University, to the end that they may make choice of some other person
belter qualified to assist and protect them than I am, I am sure he can never
be more affectionate to it. I desire you, as the last suit 1 am like to make to
you, to believe that I do not fly my country for guilt, and how passionately
soever I am pursued, that I have not done any thing to make the University
ashamed of me, or to repent the good opinion they once had of roe. And
though I must have no further mention in your publick devotions, which I
have always exceedingly valued, I hope 1 shall always be remembered in
your private prayers, as, Good Mr. Vicc-Chancellor,

Yours, &c.

The first of these two I shall mention among the masters,
an. 1670. The other, who took no higher degree in this
university, I must mention here. He was the son of Rob.
Thompson of Wakefield in Yorkshire, was bred in grammar
learning there, and thence sent to Univ coll. where he be-
came a scholar of the old foundation, took one degree in
arts, left it upon pretence of being unjustly put aside from a
fellowship there, went to Cambridge, took the degree of
master of arts, had deacon's orders conferred on him, and
afterwards those of priest : which last he received from Dr.
Fuller bish. of Line, in Hen. 7. chappel ' at Westminster
14 March 1670. Being thus qualified, he became curate of
Brington in Northamptonshire for Dr. Thomas Pierce, who,
when made dean of Salisbury, an. I675, left that living and
took his curate with him to that city, and in 1676 he gave
him a prebend there, and afterwards a presentation to St.
Mary's in Marlborough in Wilts. In l677 he travelled with
John Norbourne of Cain in the same county gent, but before
he had spent 12 months in France with him, he was recalled
and had the church of Bedminster near Bristol confer'd on
him, and afterwards the vicaridge of St. Mary RadclifF : at
both which places expressing himself a most zealous and
orthodox man for the church of England, especially when
the popish plot broke out, the faction aspers'd him witli the
name of papist, and more particularly for this reason, when
he said in his prayer or sermon in the church of St. Thomas
■ in Bristol, 30 Jan. 1679, that there was no popish but a
presbyterian plot. About which time shewing himself a
[169] great stickler against petitions to his majesty for the sitting
of a parliament, which the faction with all their might drove
on, he was brought into trouble for so doing ; and when the
parliament sate, he was, among those many that were against
petitioning, brought on his knees in the house of commons
and blasted for a papist : whereupon to free himself from
that imputation, he wrote and published The Visor pluckt off
from Rich. Thompson of Bristol Clerk, in a plain and true
Character of him, printed in one sh. in fol. in 168I, wherein
he ta,kes occasion to shew, that while he was in his travels,
he did not study at St. Omers or Doway as the faction gave
out, but sojourned in protestant houses in Paris, Glen, Blois,
and frequented protestant chappels, company, &c. After-

wards in consideration of these his Bufferings, his miyesty
gave him the deanery of Bristol, void by the death of Mr.
Sam. Crossman ; in which being installed on Trinity Sunday
1684, had the degree of 1). D. confer'd on him about that
time at Cambridge. He hath published, besides the Vitor

appoint, Mr. Benjamin Woodhoffe a student of Ch. Ch.
entred himself a conmioner in the said college a day or two
before the time of election. And being elected by the master
and masters of the said college, he stirred so much in the
matter for admission thereunto in convocation, as to have a
hearing before the king and his council. But they finding it
a litigious thing, referred it to the university : wherefore the
doctors and masters assembled in convocation for the admis-
sion of the proctors, they did (after Mr. Woodroffe had made
an eloquent speech before them in his own defence and for
the obtaining of the office) adjudge the matter to the halls;
so that Mr. White, who had been chosen before, was then

best Directions hovi to preserve Beauty or procure it, Oxon,

(being then batch, of physic) desire to be known to be the
author of it. But having taken vent by the pratling of the
bookseller, the author was laughed at and commonly called
Artificial Embellishments. Afterwards the book sold well,
and I think it was printed a second time. The author died
in the great city of Paris in July 1674, and was there, in

a munificent benefactor to this imiversity, by bestowing
thereon Marmora Arundelliana, or the marbles which for
several years before had stood in the garden of Arundel-
house in the Strand near London, was actually created with

solemnity doct. of the civil law He was afterwards made

earl of Norwich and lor<l marshal of England, an. )672, and
at length succeeded his brother Thomas (who died distracted
at Padua') in the dukedome of Norfolk. This Henry duke
of Norfolk died on the eleventh of January, 1 683, and was
buried among his ancestors at Arundel in Sussex. He then

Jane daughter of Rob. Bickerton gent, son of .lames Jiicker-
ton lord of Cash in the kingdom of Scotland, who afterwards

Henry Howard of Magd. coll. son and heir of Henry
Howard before mentioned, was, after his father had been

created doct. of the civil law, created master of arts. On

the 28th of Jan, 1677, he being then commonly called earl
of Arundel, his father being at that time duke of Norfolk, he
was by writ called to the house of lords by the name of the
lord Mowbray • at which time sir Robert Shirley was brought
into the lords house, and seated next before Will, lord Stour-
ton, by the name of lord Ferrers of Chartley. 'J'liis Henry
Howard was after his father's death duke of Norfolk, and on
the 22d of July l685 he was installed knight of the most
noble order of the garter, &c. See in the creations, an.

After these two Henry Howards were created and seated,
one on the right, and the other on the left hand of the vice-
chanc. the public orator of the university stood up, and in an
excellent speech congratulated them, especially the father, in
the name of the university.*

June 16. Thom. Howard of Magd. coll. younger brother
to Henry before-mentioned, was then actually created master

of arts. This Thomas Howard, who had the said degree

given to him when the former two were created, but was
then absent, was, with his said brother Henry, student in
the said coll. for a time under the inspection of Dr. Hen.
Yerbury, but they did not wear gowns, because both were
then Roman Catholics. The said Thomas, afterwards called
lord Thomas Howard, continuing in the religion in whicl\
he was born and baptized, became great in favour with king

to king James II. when in France, and followed him into
Ireland when he endeavoured to keep possession of that
kingdom against the forces of the said prince William then

Doctor of Music.

July 8. Benj. Rogers organist of Magd. coll. was then
admitted doctor of music ; which degree he compleated in
that great and solemn act celebrated in Sheldon's theatre, on
the lath of the same month, being the thijtl day after the
opening- and dedication of the said theatre for a learned use.
This person, who was son of Peter Rogers belonging to his
majesty's cliappel of St. George at Windsor in Berks, was
born at Windsor, was, when a boy, a choirester, and when a
man, clerk or singing-man of the said chappel at Winilsor.

Vol. IV.

Afterwards he became organist of Ch. Ch. in Dublin, where
continuing till the rebellion broke out in 1 641 he was forced
thence, and going to Windsor, he obtained a singing man's
place there. But being soon after silenced, by the great
troubles occasioned by the civil wars in England, he taught
his profession at Windsor and in the neighbourhood, and,
by the favour of the men then in power, got .some annual
allowance in consideration of his lost place. In 1653 or
thereabouts, he being then famed for a most admirable com-
poser, did, at the request of great personages, compose
several sets of ayres of four parts to be performed by violins
and an organ : which being esteemed the best of their kind
that could be then composed, were sent, as great rarities,
into Germany to the court of archduke Leopold, (now
emperor) and were tried and often played by his own musi-
cians to his very great content, he himself being then a com-
poser and a great admirer of music. In 1658 his great
favourer and encourager of his profession Dr. Nathaniel
Ingelo fellow of Eaton,' conducted him to Cambridge, got
the degree of batch, of music to be confer'd on him,* as a
member of Qu. coll. (that doctor having been sometime
fellow thereof,' and at that time a proceeder in divinity) and
giving great content by his song of several parts, (which was
his exercise) performed in the commencement that year by
several voices, he gained the reputation there of a most
admirable musician, and had the greater part of his fees and
entertainment defray'd by that noble and generous docton
" When the same Dr. Nath. Ingelo went chaplain to Bul-
" strode lord Whitlock into Sweden, he carried with him
" some of the best compositions of B. Rogers, which were
" played several times before queen Christina with great
" liking." After his majesty's restoration, the lord mayor,
aldermen and chief citizens of London being unanimously
disposed to entertain the king, the two dukes, and both
houses of parliament with a sumptuous feast, it was ordered
among them that there should be added to it the best music
they could obtain : and B. Rogers being then esteemed the
prime composer of the nation, he was desired of them to
compose a song of several parts to be performed while the
king and company were at dinner. Whereupon, in order to
it. Dr. Ingelo made Hymnus Eucharisticus ; the beginning
of the prelude to which is, ' Exultate, Justi, in Domino,*
&c. This also he translated into English, and both were
printed in single papers. These things being done, B. Rogers'
composed a song of four parts to that hymn, which was
more than once tried in private. At length on the 5th of
July (Thursday) 166O, being the day that his majesty, James
duke of York, Henry duke of Glocester, and both houses of*
parliament were at dinner in the Guild-hall of the city of
London, the said printed papers in Latin and English being
delivered to the king, two dukes, and dispersed among the
nobility, &c. purposely that they might look on them while

the performance was in doing, the song was began and
carried on in Latin by twelve voices, twelve instruments and
an organ, mostly performed by his majesty's servants.
Which being admirably well done, it gave very great con-
tent, and Mr. Rogers the author being present, he obtained
a great name for his composition and a plentiful reward.
Much about that time he became organist of Eaton coll.
where continuing till Theodore Colby a German was prefer'd
to be organist of Exeter cathedral. Dr. Thomas Pierce who
had a great value for the man (he himself being a musician)
invited him to Magd. coll. and gave him the organist's place
there, and there he continued in good esteem till l685, and
then being ejected, (the reason why let others tell you) the
society of that house allowed him an yearly pension to keep
him from the contempt of the world : in which condition he
now lives, in his old age, in. a skirt of the city of Oxon
unreganied. He hath extant several compositions of two
parts, treble and bass, in a book entit. " Court Ayres, Pavins,
" Almains, Corants, and Sarabands of two Parts, &c. Lond.

and English, Lond. 1674, fol. As also in The Latin Psalms
and Hymns of Jour Parts, published by John Playford. His
compositions for instrumental music, whether in two, three,
or four parts have been highly valued, and were always, 30
years ago or more, first called for, taken out and played as
well in the public music school as in private chambers : and
Dr. Wilson the professor, the greatest and most curious
judge of music that ever was, usually wept when he heard
them well perform'd, as being wrapt up in an ecstasy, or, if
you will, melted down, while others smiled or had their
hands and eyes lifted up, at the excellency of them, &c.

Obad. Walker sen. fel. of Univ. coll. he recommended him
to the dcau of Ch. Ch. and other leading men of the univer-
sity, to be chosen botanic professor : Whereupon, by the
great testimonies and recommendations of his worth, he was
elected on the l6th of Dec. and incorporated doctor on the
day following, an. 1669, as I have before told you. He
made his first entrance on the botanic lecture in the medicine
school, on the 2d of Sept. I67O, and on the 5th of the same
month he translated himself to the physic-garden, where he
read in the middle of it (with a table before him) on herbs
and plants thrice in a week for 5 weeks space, not without
a considerable auditory. In the month of May 1673 he read
again, and so likewise in the autumn following: which
course, spring and fall, he proposed always to follow, but
was diverted several years by prosecuting his large design
of publishing the universal knowledge of Simples. He hath

■cuts. The author designed to go forward with one or more
volumes, but being suddenly cut off, the work ceased.
However there is now in the press at Oxford a vol. in fol.
in continuance or pursuit of the said last vol. of Dr. Mori-
son, Vritten by Jacob Bobart keeper of the phys, garden in
Oxon, With annotatiotis thereunto of the eastern names by
Dr. Tho. Hyde, chief keeper of the Bodleian library. After
which is done, there will come out another vol. of Trees by
i'79] the same hand. This Dr. Morison, who was esteemed the
best in the world for his profession, taking a journey from
Oxon to Lond. and Westm. in order for the carrying on his
great designs of publishing one or more volumes of plants,
did, when in Westminster, receive a bruise on his breast by
the pole of a coach, as he was crossing the street between
the end of St. Martin's-lane and Northumberland-house near
Charing-cross, on the ninth day of Novemb. l683 ; where-
upon being soon after carried to his house in Green-street in
Leicester-fields, died the next day, to the great reluctancy of
all those that were Ifivers and admirers of his faculty. After-
wards he was buried in the church of St. Martin's in the
Fields within the liberty of Westminster.

Creations.

The creations this year were in all the four faculties, oc-
casion'd mostly by the dedication of the theatre, and the
coming to the university of the duke of Ormond.

Masters of Arts.

On the gth of July, in a convocation held in the Sheldo-
nian theatre, betwixt the hours of 8 and 10 in the mom. (at
which time it was dedicated to a learned use) were these
seven persons following actually created masters of arts
there.

George Berkley of Ch. Ch. a younger son of George
lord (afterwards earl of) Berkley. He was afterwards

beneficed in Leicestershire,' at Segrave 1 think, and published

JOH. BOWYER J

Ralph Ashton of Brasen coll. baronet.

JoH. Lloyd of Jesus coll. baronet.

Charles Keymish of Wadh. coll. baronet.

Afterwards were these two persons following created in
the convocation house, at what time the most noble duke of
Ormond was created doct. of law.

, , _ ( Rob. Shirley of Ch. Ch. baronet.
■ ■ ( Will. Drake of St. Joh. coll. baronet.

Sir Rob. Shirley, son of sir Rob. Shirley who died in the
Tower of London, was brought into the lord's house, and
seated next above the lord Stourton by the name of the lord
Ferrers of Chartley, 28 Jan. 1677, as I have before told
you.

J . r Franc. Cholmondeley esq;
'■ I Geoiige Bruce.

These two were to have been created on the 15th of Jul.
when the duke of Orm. honoured the degree of doct. of law,
had they been present. The first was of the antient family
of Ids name in Cheshire, and was a burgess, as it seems, to
serve in pari, after the prince of Orange came to the crown.
The other was a Scot of an antient and noble race.

Doctors of Imw.

July 15. The most illustrious prince James Boteler,
duke, marquess and earl of Ormond, earl of Ossory and
Brecknock, viscount Thorles, baron of Lanthony, and Arclo,
chief butler of Ireland, lord of the royalties and franchises of
the county of Tipperary, chanc. of the univ. of Dublin, lord
lieutenant general, and general governour of his majesty's
kingdom of Ireland, one of the lords of his most honourable
privy-council in all his majesty's kingdoms of England,
Scotland, and Ireland, lord steward of his majesty's houshold,
lord lieutenant of the county of Somerset, gentleman of his
majesty's bedchamber, and knight of the most noble order
of the garter, was with great solemnity actually created
doctor of the civil law in the house of convocation, in order
to his election of chancellor of this university, which was
accordingly made on the 4th of Aug. following. He was
paternally descended ■* from Harvey Walter a great baron of
this realm in the time of king Henry II; whose posterity,
afterwards, became earls of Ormond ; whereof another James,
sirnamed Boteler, (who married Elizabeth the daughter of
Humph, de Bohun earl of Hereford and Esisex, lord of Breck-
nock, and constable of England, by Eliziibeth his wife, one
of the daughters of king Edward III.) was the first so created
by king Edward III. This James duke of Ormond was
lord lieutenant of Ireland in the time of king Charles I. of
blessed memory, where he performed great things for his
cause, and afterwards did constantly adhere to king Charles
II. in the tedious time of his calamitous exile. Afterwards,
for these his loyal actings and sufferings, he was by his
majesty, after his restoration, made lord lieutenant of Ire-
land, and advanced to honours and places in England, as
before 'tis told you. At length in the latter end of Nov.
1682, his msyesty king Charles II. was graciously pleased to

create him a duke of this kingdom of England, by the name
and title of James duke of Ormond. This most noble per-
son, who was a true son of the church of England, a zeal-
ous adherer to the royal cause, and a great lover of the re-
gular clergy, universities and scholars, hath going under his
name several Declarations, Letters, &c. while he was lord
lieutenant of Ireland, and in other capacities engaged there
for the cause of king Charles I. as also A Letter in Answer to
Arthur Earl of Aitglesei/ his Observations and Re/lections on

He died much lamented at Kingston hall in Dorsetshire, on
Saturday the 'ilst of July 1688, aged /Q years: Whereupon
succeeded him in his honours his grandson James earl of
Ossory, son of his eldest son Thom. liite earl of Ossory.
Afterwards his body was to be conveyed to Kilkenny in
Ireland, and there deposited in a vault under part of the cath,
ch. among his ancestors.

Philip Stanhope earl of Chesterfield was created the

same day, Jul. 15. He had before taken for his second

wife Elizabeth daughter of the said James duke of Ormond,

Rob. Spencer esq.

JoH. Evelyn esq.

The last of these two, who was originally of Bal. coll.
hath written many things of great curiosity, and therefore
he is hereafter to be numbred among the Oxford writers
with honour.

It was then also, (July 15.) granted that Charles earl
OF Dunfermling in Scotland, and Theobald earl of
Carlingford in Ireland, who accompanied the duke of
Ormond in these parts, might be created doctors of law, but
whether they were so, it appears not.

Doctor of Physic.

Nov. 2. Elias Ashmole esq; sometime of Brasen. coll.
now (1669) chief comptroler of his maj. excise in Engl, and

Wales, was diplomated doct. of phys. ab eruditione re-

■ condita et benevolentia in academ. propensa nobis charissi-
mus, as it is said in the pub. reg. of the university. He
hath written several things, and therefore he is with due re-
spect to be numbred hereafter (as he is partly already) among
the Oxford writers.

Doctors of Divinity,

Feb. 28. JoH. Durell of Merton coll. the judicious and
laborious advocate for the church of England both in word
and deed, was then created.'

On the 15th of July when the duke of Ormond was created,
it was unanimously granted by the members of convocation
that Rich. Lingard, dean of Lismore in Ireland, might be
admitted to the degree of doct. of div. but whether he was
so, it appears not. He was now public professor of div. of
the university of Dublin, of which he was D. D. and dying
at Dublin, was buried in the chap, of Trinity coll. there, on
the 13th of Nov. 167O. Soon after were published An
Elegy and funeral Oration on his Death: In both which, the

Peter Worm a Dane, son of the great antiquary OIau.«>
Worm, was a student this year, and after, in Oxon, where
obtaining several accomplishments, became, after his return
to his country, secretary to the king of Denmark, &c.

In the beginning of July, Joh. Rodolph. Westenivk
and Sebastianus Feschius, both of Basil in Germany, were
entred students in the public library and continued in Oxon '
about two years. The first was afterwards professor of the
Greek tongue at Basil, and a publisher of several noted
books, the other also a publisher of certain curious aud cri-
tical matters, which are now highly valued by scholars of
his country, &c.

another, and then descending from his place, he took the
prince by the arm, and conducted him up to his chair of
state, standing on the right hand of that of the viccch. at
some distance abo\e it. The said prince is now king of
Engl, by the name of William III.

A little before his entrance into the theatre, the vicechan-
cellor read the names of certain persons that were then to be
created in the four faculties of arts, law, physic and divinity,
which were all or mostly nominated by the prince, and given
into the hands of sir Charles Cotterel master of the cere-
monies, who gave if into those of the vicechancellor. The
paper or roll contained the names of fifteen to be created
masters of arts, one to be batch, of divinity, eighteen to be
doctors of the civil law, (whereof one was incorporated) six [1841
to be doctors of phys. and seven to be doct. of divinity.
After the names were read by the vicechancellor, and pro-
posed to the ven. convocation for their consents, there was
a general murmuring among the masters, not against the
strangers to be created, but some of their own body. This
creation was called by some the Orangian creation, tho' not
so pleasing to the generality, as might be wished for. After
the prince was seated, these persons following were created
doct. of the civ. law.

Chester, when that king withdrew himself into France in

whereupon his body was buried in the cathedrar church of

and afterwards taking to wife a zealous Catholic named
Mary Stoiier of the family of Stoner near Watlington in
Oxfordshire, was, by her endeavours, as I have heard, drawn
over to her religion. Soon after they setled in London, but
finding not tliat quiet enjoyment relating to their opinion,
•which they expected, they went to the city of Roan in Nor-
mandy, where this our poet laureat was born, an. 16l6or
thereabouts, and had the Christian itame, at the font, given
him of .lames Alban, in memory of the great protomartyr of
Engl. St. .Alban. Thence, at 9 years of age, he was con-
veyed into England, and spent some time in trivial literature
there, his father being then physician to Hen. Maria queen
of England. Afterwards he was sent to the English college
at St. Omers, where he spent some years, with great advan-
tage, in academical learning : and after he had laid a good
foundation there, he travelled through several parts of the
Low Countries, Germany, Spain, Italy, &c. and spent some
time at Padua under the famous anatomist Joh. Veslingius.
In the latter end of 1644 he settled in Rome, in which year
pope Urban 8 died, and was there received, especially among
the English, with great humanity. Soon after, u])on the
discovery of the worth of the person, he was entertained by
Franc. Atestinus duke of Mode»a, to be tutor to Almeric his
son, with whom continuing about two years, (in which time
he was mostly at Modena) he was taken into the patronage
and family of Bernardin cardinal Spada bishop of Fraschatie,
called by some Tusculan, with whom living in the quality of
physician till that cardinal died, he was taken into the pro-
tection of prince Justinian, in whose palace he continued till
the time of that prince's death. In 1657 pope Alexander 7,
an encourager of all good arts, advanced him to the lec-
turership of rhetoric, in the school called Sapienza at Rome,
in the place of Hen. ChifiUius (a person of great name and
learning) deceased : which being worth about 60I. per an.
was a great help to his poetical muse. About that time he
had also a canonry of St. Celsus bestowed upon him by the
said pope, who having published a book of verses, our poet
Ghibbesius had a copy commendatory set before them." In
the year l6£i7 Leopold the emperor of Germany, did, by his
diploma dated 2 May, constitute and create him his poet
laureat, and at the same time gave him a gold chain with a
medal hanging thereunto, to be always worn by him, especially
[193] at public and solemn times and in public places. Which
great honour being made known to pope Clement IX. he
was admitted into his presence, kissed his foot, and was con-
grattilated by him. In 1668 he published his Carmimm Pars
Lyrica ad Exemplum Q. Horatii Flacci quam-proxime concin-
nata, printed at Rome in 4 books in oct. They are dedicated
to the said pope Clement IX. and have before them the
author's picture, (shewing him to be a handsome person, as
indeed he was) which is supported by the Roman eagle,
with a laurel in its beak hanging over the author's head, and
under it two verses, made by the famous Athanas. Kir-
cherus (who well knew the vain humour of the poet) running
thus:

Tot pro Ghibbesio certabunt regna, quot urbes
Civem Moeoniden asseruere suum.

At the end of the said four books, is one of epods dedicated
to his dear mother the English college at St. Omers, and at
the end of that is Symphonia Clarorum Virorum ad Ghibbesii
Lyram, wherein his humour, which was much addicted to
flattery and applause, is exactly hit by the pens of cardinal

Spada, Thomas Farnabie of England, (mentione<l among the
writers) Joseph Maria Suares bishop of Vaison in France,
Leo Alhitius the fnmous Jesuite, Claudius Grattus, Thomas
the son of Casper Bartholin. Joh. Veslingius a physician of
Padua, Franc. Angelus cardinal of Rapacciol, &c. In the
year 1670 he being minded to make a present of his gold
chain and medal to the famous university of Oxon, he wrote
a letter to Dr. Peter Mews the vice-chancellor hereof,
dated at Rome 5 Apr. the same year, which verbatim runs
thus :

' Right rev. sir,

' Having received sundry literary honours from princes
' abroad in the space of these last 30 years of my being out
' of England, but especially from his sacred imperial majesty
' a glorious diploma, characterizing me his poet laureat, sent
' me to Rome with a rich chain and medal of gold, I have
' thought to make a solemn consecration of this Csesarean
' present to the altar of memory and posterity, in the worthiest
' temple I could in any place think upon. In this resolution
' I was not long to make a choice, where the head-stone of
' gratitude like the Chrysoniagenes naturalists speak of,
' draw to it self, and fix my golden fleece. In Britain's
' Athenarum then, Oxford, that general mart of sciences, as
' in a treasury or cabinet of fame, I desire to deposite with
' an eternal do, dico, dedico, this dear pledge with all my
' hopes of future renown. What I said of gratitude I would
' have understood doubly, for my father's concern of good
' memory, and mine own particular interest. He having
' received, being a student, his virtuous education in Brasen-n.
' college, and transfused part of it into me, it would seem an
' act of omission unpardonable, did I not profess openly,
' and correspond in some measure to the great obligations I
' owe in both our names to such an alma mater, that famous
' university, from whose abundant streams I had the good
' fortune to draw some milk. I have been of late in a
' strange anxiety how to bring my purpose happily to effect.
' I consulted finally with some gentlemen, Oxford scholars,
' that now are in this city, who unanimously speak your
'• worth and great learning, congratulating with me the good
' luck I have now to send the present, in your time of vice-
' chancellor, under whose conduct the matter might find its
' wished issue. Wherefore, most rev. doctor, be pleased to
' think upon a way to inform us particularly, how I am to
' consign and convey a donative I so much esteem. I hear
' there is a fair large gallery, wherein are kept rarities of anti-
' quity, medals and things of that nature, I shall be ambitious

' of a corner among them. Mr. Scawen ' my lord of

' Northumberland's secretary, hath been pleased to take upon
' him the conveyance of these lines, who will likewise accom-
' pany them with his letter to you. \Vhen you shall honour
' me with an answer, I shall send jointly my book of Lyricks
' newly printed here, and make an oblation of it to the
' library. Now I begin henceforth to wait your commands,
' accordingly to govern my self, which I doubt not with
' your best convenience shortly to receive. In the mean
• while with low veneration due unto your grand deserts,
' I kiss your hands, as most reverend and learned sir,
' your, &c.'

This letter being received by the vice-chancellor, a return
of thanks for the present time was made soon after, with
direction how to send his present. Afterwards the gold
chain, medal, diploma (whereby he was created poet laureat)

were conveyed by the hands of the steward belonging to Jo-
celin earl of Northumberland, (I mean that earl who died in
his travels at Turin in Savoy, in May an. I67O) who, when
he came to London, sending them to Dr. H. Compton canon
of Ch. Ch. in Oxon, he thereupon presented them to the vice-
chancellor : at which time the most noble James duke of
Ormond, chancellor of the university, having received an
account of this generous gift, he thereupon sent his letters to
the vice-chancellor to make some handsome return for it.
AVhcreupon a convocation being called, he was declared by a
diploma doct. of phys. in the latter end of Feb. 1670. See
more among the creations in these Fasti under that year.
But so it was, that the poet having received little or no
L'y^J notice, especially by writing, how, and with what honour
his gift was received, which did much perplex him, (for tho'
the diploma then passed, yet it was not sealed, much less
sent to Rome) he thereupon wrote a letter to the said Dr.
Compton to know the full proceeding of the matter, and
what he was to trust to : whereupon that worthy person,
did by his letter dated 17 Sept. 1672 tell him that 'The
' whole university in convocation, nemine contradicente, in
' answer to your noble present, but more to your worth, did

* vote a diploma under the university seal to confer the
' degree of doct. of this place upon you, and there is order
' taken that the best poets we have, shall endeavour to shew
' how much right they would do you, had they your pen.
' These things with the vice-chancellor's letter of thanks to
' you, have been all (except the verses which were lately

* finished) about these six months ready to send you. We
' expect daily from London to have some ships, &c.'

But notwithstanding all this, the letter, and diploma for
his creation of doct. of physic being very slow in coming, he
wrote another letter to the truly noble and generous Ralph
Sheldon of Beoley esq; (with whom he had been well
acquainted when at Rome, and had received of his bene-
volence) dated 12 Aug. 1673, which partly runs thus.

' Be pleasetl to consider what perplexity I am now in,
' attending this glory from that famous university of Oxford.
' For now I am setting out a new book, the second part of
' my verses, which L dedicate to the emperor : and had I that
' diploma and verses promised me, I would insert them con-
' veniently in the Caesarean volume, to be seen and re.id by
' the emperor's majesty, as I have put his diploma in my
' book of Lyricks, which I hope makes you sometime ■* think
' of your humble obliged servant. The title of the book is

* to be this, Curminum Jacohi Albani Ghibbesii Pod. Laur.
' C(ES. altera Pars : exhibens, post Lyram Horatii jam vul-
' gatam, Coihurnum 8f Soccum aliorum Poetarum in utraque
' Lingua. When this book is printed with all my honours,
' then will I send it away with my-Lyricks to the university,
' and accompany it with my picture in a frame, by the hand
' of the late great master Pietro di Cortono for a perpetual

' monument of my observancy to the place. You see

' now, sir, in what a posture I stand, ready to fall, unless
' you'll vouchsafe me with your prop|)ing hand, as you have

* already lent it me with all benignity before, &.c. I have
' had lately anotlier tiiwart from my lady Fortune that doth
' not a little trouble me. I have made an heroic poem of
' some thousand verses for an ei)ithalamium upon his royal
' highness .lames duke of York his marriage with the dutchess

But by that time Mr. Sheldon had received the said letter,
the poet received his diploma and verses, which, as I con-
ceive, were printed with his Altera Pars Canninum, &c. In
the diploma he is stiled ' Natione nosier, magnum plane
Britanniarum suarum & omamentum & desiderium, Kuro-
peiorum principum delicise,' &c. He hath written besides
those things before-mention'd, these following in prose

ires Centurice. (3) De Medico Libri 3, in imitation of Cicero
de Oratore, &c. (4) Pinacocheca Spadia, sive Pontificum
Romanorum Series; besides Miscellanies and other things,
as I have been informed by those that knew the author well,
who have farther told me that he was as esurient after fame
as Tom. Coryate, was a very conceited man, a most com-
pact body of vanity, so great a lover of flatteries (tho' he
himself flatter'd none) that he took all whatsoever was said
of him to be real, ami a great lover of those that sought
after, or courted him ; to which I may add that he was the
greatest mimic of his time, which made therefore his com-
pany acceptable among many; " stiling himself Jacobus

In the month of June this year came to the university of
Oxon from London, an Irish man called Anthony Egan a
Franciscan friar, and in the beginning of July following he

was entred a student in the public library. This person

had lately left the R. Catholic religion wherein he had been
educated and profess'd, and umier pretence of suffering for
what he had done relating tiiereunto, came to the university
more for the sake of relief than study. And after he had
continued there about 4 months, in which time he obtained
the charity of 60/. or more from several colleges and private
persons, he went to Cambridge thinking to obtain there the
like sum, and when that was done, to return, as 'twas com-
monly then reported, to his former religion. Among several
things that he hath published are these ( I ) The Franciscan
Convert, or a Recantation Sermon at St. Maudlin's in Old
Fish street Land. 6 ///jr. 1673, on Luke 22. a2. Lond. 1673.
qu. In the title of this sermon, he writes himself confessor
general of the kingdom of Ireland, and guardian of the
friary of Monasterioris in the province of Leinster, and
chaplain to several persons of quality of the popish religion
there. To which sermon is added A Narrative of the Beha-

In the month of June, the Swedish ambassador with other
foreigners, accompanied by some English men, coming to
the university were creatiuna made in the two faculties of
arts and civil law.

June 27. David Macklier captain of a prefectorian com-
pany belonging to the king of .Sweden.

Sam. Monsson Agriconius, secretary to the extraordi-
nary embassy from the king of Sweden, was created the
same day.

Christianu.s Fredericus, secretary to the ambassador
or envoy extraord. from the elector of Brandenburg was also
created at the same time.

Doctors of Law.

June 27. The most illustrious and excellent Lord Peter
Sparre free baron in Corneberge, lord of Kynas, Peuteberg
and Tulgarne, general of the army of foot belonging to the
king of Sweden, governour of Elfborglhen and Daal, and
extraordinary ambassador to the king of Great Britain from
the said king of Sweden, was with solemnity actually created
doct. of the civil law.

The illustrious Lord Otto free baron of Schwerin, coun-
sellor of the state of the elector of Brandenburg, as also of
the hall and judicial chamber, chamberlain and chieftain of
the province or county of Ruppin, knight of the order of
Johamites, and envoy extraordinary to the king of Great
Britain fronn the said elector of Brandenburg, was created
tlie same day.

Sir Joseph Williamson kt. master of arts and fellow of

Qu. coll. This person, who was a. minister's son of the

county of Cumberland, had been secretary under Sir Edw.
Nicholas, and afterwards under Hen. earl of Arlington while
they were principal secretaries of state, and on the 24th of
Jan. 1671 he was sworn one of the clerks of the council in
ordinary, and knighted. About that time he was clerk of
the papers, or keeper of the Paper office at Whitehall, and a
recruiter for Thetford in Norfolk, to sit in that parliament
which began at Westm. 8 May 1661. Afterwards he was
sent twice in the quality of a plenipotentiary, once to Hol-
land, and another time to Cologn in Germany, and after his
return, he was sworn principal secretary of state (upon the
promotion of Henry earl of Arlington to be lord chamberlain
of his majesty's household) and a privy counsellor, on the.
eleventh of Sept. 1 674. Both which offices he keeping till
Feb. 1678, did, on the 9th of the same month, resign the
seals of his secretaryship into the hands of his majesty, who
forthwith giving them to Rob. earl of Sunderland, he was
sworn the next day secretary and privy counsellor. This sir
Jos. Williamson (who was then president of the Royal Society)
hath been a great benefactor to his coll. and may be greater
hereafter, if he think fit.

The illustrious lord Ignatius Vitus baron of Vicque, a
colonel of a regiment of horse under his catholic msgesty in
Flanders, was created the same day, June 27. One Igna-
tius Vitus alias White, second son of sir Dominick White of
Limerick in Ireland, was created a baronet on the 29th of
June 1 C77, and, for want of issue male, that title was to
descend to his nephew Ignatius Maximilian Vitus, and to
the heirs male of his body. This sir Ignatius White, is the

" and created marquiss of Abbeville by king James II."
■ D. Car. Gabr. dk la Salle eq. groom of the chamber
to the king of Sweden, was also then created.

In a convocation held 30 of May this year, were the chan-
cellor's letters read in behalf of Sam. Speed formerly a
student, now canon, of Ch. Ch. to have the degree of doct.
of div. confer'd on him ; but whether he was created or ad-
mitted, notwithstanding he had formerly suffer'd for his
loyalty, it appears not. On the sixth of the said month of
May, this year, he was installed canon of Ch. Ch. in the
place of Dr. Seb. Smith decease<l, and dying at Godalming
in Surrey,' of which he was vicar, about the 22d of January
168I, Henry Aldrich M. A. and student of Ch. Ch. was in-
stalled canon in liis place, on the 15th of Febr. following.
One Sam. Speed a pretender to poetry, hath written Prison-
Piety : or ^ledilaiions divine and moral, &c. Lend. l677' i**

to be the same with the former.

In the month of January this year, came to this university,
J. Seobaldus Fabricius an old professor of Heidelberg, born
at Spires, who was forced to leave his country because of the
wars between the emperor and the king of France. He

lection of monies made throughout the university to relieve
his wants : And while he continued among us, he published

} of Ch. Ch.

June 8. JoH. Knight of New inn. He afterwards was

made vicar of Banbury in Oxfordsi)ire, upon the removal
thence of Richard White, sometime of the university of
Oxon, to a good parsonage in Worcestershire,' and was
author of The Samaritan Rebels perjur'd by a Covenant of
Association, in a Sermon at the Assizes held at Northampton,
30 March 1682; on Hosea iO, the former Part of the 4th
Verse, Lond. 1682. qu. He is a good scholar, very loyal,
and of a good name and esteem where he lives, and might
have been preb. of Line, which he much deserves, had not
Dr. B.' bishop thereof shew'd him a dog-trick.

Nov. 23. Jam. Parkinson of Line. coll.

Jan. 29. JoH. Massey or Measey of Mert. coll. This

person, who was originally of Univ. coll. was one of the
proctors of the university in 1684, and then, and after, did
not look for or expect preferment. At length, after king
James II. came to the crown, he was, by the endeavours of
Mr. Obad. Walker master of Univ. coll. advanced by his
majesty (on the deatli of Dr. Fell) to the deanery of Ch. Ch.
in Oxon, about the middle of Octob. 1686. Whereupon
renouncing his religion for tliat of Rome (which he was so
to do, before he could be setled in it) he received the patent
for it on his bended knees from his majesty on the 19th of
Decemb. and on the 29th of the same month 1686 he was in-
stalled in that dignity in his own person. Afterwards he set
up and furnished a chappel for the Roman Cath. u;C in Can-
terbury quadrangle within the precincts of Ch. Ch. and was
put into the commission of peace for the county of Oxford.
At length upon tlie arrival of tlie prince of Orange in the
West parts of England, and the committing thereupon by
the mobile great outrages in several parts of the nation on
Roman Catholics and their houses, the said Mr. Massey did,
to avoid them, (together with Mr. Thom. Deane, a R. C.
fellow of Univ. coll.) withdraw himself privately, before
break of day, on the 30th of Nov. ] 688, went to London,
and there continued privately till an opportunity carried him
over the sea to France, where, I think, we may now leave
him.

of Mons, count or earl of Valdentia, Spinhim la Mark, Ra-
vensberg and Moers, lord in Ravenstein, &c. was actually
create<l doctor of the civil law He was conducted bare-
headed in his doctor's robes, from the apodyteriuiii into the
convocation house, with the beadles marching before, and
the king's professor of law with him, the vicechanc. then,
with the doctors and masters standing bare : And being
come to the middle of the area, the said professor presented
him with a short speech, which being done, the vicech.
created him with bnother. Afterwards he was conducted to
his seat of state on the right hand of the vicechancellor, an'Jr
then the dep. orator, who stood on the other side near to 4\^^
registrary's desk, complemented him with another sp^^^ch jq
the name of the university. All which being done, he was
conducted by the vicechancellor, doctors, and va^Jit/na to the
Theatre, where being placed in another s<;ii of state on the
right hand of the vicechanc<»llor*8 chair, he was entertained
by the music professor with vocal and instrumental music,
from the music pnllery. This prince was then about 18
years of age, and had taken a journey into England, pur-
posely to pay his respects to the lady Mary, the eldest
daughter of James duke of York : And after he had seen
most of the rarities in the public library, several of the col-
leges, physic garden, &c. the vicechancellor Dr. Bathurst,
Dr. Fell, and other doctors, made a present to him at his
departure of Hist Sf Antiquitates Univ. Oxon, with cuts, in
two volumes, very fairly bound.

June 23. Henry Justell secret, and counsellor to the
most Christian king, was diplomated doctor of the civil law.

He was a most noted and learned man, and as the

public regist. saith non modo omni scientiarum & virtutum
genere per se excelluit, verum etiam parentis optimi & eru-
ditissimi Christop. Justelli doctrinam & merita, omando
atque excolendo, sua fecit. He had given several choice
MSS. to the public library, and had sent by Mr. George
Hicks of Line. coll. (who became acquainted with him at
Paris) the original MS. in Greek ' of the Canones Ecclesits
Universalis, put out by his father Christopher, which is at
this time in the public library. What this eminent author
Hen. Justell hath written and published the printed cat. be-
longing to that library, commonly called Oxford Catalogue,
will tell you.

These two persons were ministers at the Hague, and having
been represented by the prince of Orange to be persons of
good esteem in Holland, for their preaching, learning and
prudence, and for the great veneration they had, and have, ■
for the church of England, were upon those accounts re-
commended to the chanc. of the university, and by Henry
earl of Arlington (lately in Holland) to the vicechanc. and.
convocation for their degrees.

Jan. 2(5. HippoLYTus dv Chastlet de Luzancy of Ch.

Ch. was actually created master of arts. This divine, who

made a great noise in his time, was the son^ of a famous
common woman named Beauchasteaii a player belonging to
the Hostel de Burgoyn at Paris, and educated in the univer-
sity there, as I shall tell you by and by. Afterwards he
became^ usher, or regent of the fifth form among the fathers

of the Christian doctrine at Vitry, then lived among the
monks at Vendosme, and a little after in the service of a
bishop, then in the abby of Trape, next with another pre-
late, and at length a preacher errant, here and there, but
chiefly at Montdidier in Picardy, where counterfeiting the
name of Luzancy, by a bill signed with that name, he cheated
the damoizele Cartier of a piece of money. So that by that
and other pranks, which expos'd him to the pursuit of justice,
[200] he left France, went into England by the ' name of De la
Marche (which he quitted about a month after his arrival)
and at length to London without ^ clothes, without shooes,
ivithout money, and without any recommendation from
FnC^ce. Soon after upon his own word, and at the instance
of soihb' who solicited in his behalf, he was permited to get
into the pulpit at the Savoy within the liberty of West-
minster, not only to declare the motives of his conversion,
but his abjuratioti from, and abhorrency of the Roman
Catholic faith, which was solemiily done on the eleventh of
July an. I675. The discourse he matle, and which he de-
livered with much boldness, gained him the esteem of his
auditors, who for the most part charm'd with his eloquence,
and full of compassion for his misery, soon cast about to
put him into a condition of appearing in a decent habit and
subsisting. After this he was much favoured by some, and
as much hated by the Roman Catholics, particularly by St.
Germaine a Jesuit in London, who pretending to assassinate
him, as Luzancy gave out, was a proclamation issued forth
for his protection, and the taking of S. Germaine to bring
him to condign punishment. After this, Luzancy's advance-
ment being powerfully carried on, the bishop of London
took care to have him ordained, with a design of putting
him in a condition of becoming one day a great defender of
the church of England : All which being done in a hurry,
'twas to little purpose for the pastors and several masters of
families of the church at the Savoy to cry out against. But
while these things were in doing, a minister of the church
of England belonging to the French church at the Savoy
named Rich, du Marescq, full of zeal to the truth, printed a
sermon which he had preached during these bustles, atid in
the preface to it dotli give a true and just character of
Luzancy, not for his goodness, but baseness, lying, dissi-
mulation, &c. Which serm. and pref. as soon as they ap-
peared in public, the bishop of London caused all the copies
to be seized, and the author cited to the bish. court, inter-
dicted the function of his charge, because he refused to ask
God forgiveness, his neighbour, the church, his superior,
and to sign and seal a declaration, and at length openly sus-
pended him for reasons reserved to the bishop and his officers.
After he had continued in that condition for some time, he
was at the intreaties of Dr. Jo. Durell, and monsieur Ruvigny
(who had a mind to oblige the bishop) restored to the ex-
ercise of his charge upon a bare acknowledgment that he
was in the wrong to print his preface without license from
his superior, or any else in authority, &c. After the follow-
ing Christmas, our author Luzancy went to Oxford ; where,
by virtue of several letters of commendation, he was received
iuto Ch. Ch. by tlie dean there, had a chamber allowed to
him, and such diet that belongs to master-students, at the
charge, I think, of the bishop of London. On the 26th of
Jan. following, there was a convocation of doctors and
masters celebrated, wherein the letters of the duke of Ormond
chanc. of the university (dfit. 2 Dec.) were publicly read in

• Utter from a Gent, in London to his Friend in the Couiitru, p. 13.
9 Ibid. p. 1. •' '

his behalf, which partly run thus. ' This gentleman

' monsieur Luzancy was bred in the university of Paris in
' the Romish religion, but having lately |)rofessed himself a
' member of the church of England, and given some testi-
' monies of his adherence thereunto, has made it his humble
' request for his encouragement, to be recommended to the
' university for their favour in conferring upon him the

' degree of master of arts. He has not his testimonials

' from the university of Paris of the degree he took there,
' but I doubt not, when you shall discourse with him, you'll
' find him a person meriting that favour,' &c. After the
reading of that letter, Luzancy by the consent of the house
was then actually created M. A. as 1 have before told you.
About the time of Easter, in the beginning of Apr. I676,
was spread abroad by certain R. Catholics a pamphlet entit.
A Letter J) om a Gentleman at Lond. to his Friend in the
Country, &c. Printed at Lond. in two sheets and an half in
qu. wherein are some of Luzancy's actions represented while
he was in France, but more while he was in England, the
bishop of London and Dr. Franc. Durant de Urevall preb. of
Westm. and Rochester, (sometimes a Capuchin fryar) re-
ilected on severely, and many things said, which doth invali- -
date the king's proclamation before-mentioned. At length
some of the dispersers of that pamphlet being discover'd,
particularly Will. Rogers of Line, inn, a zealous proselyte
for the Roman Cath. cause, he was seized on by a messenger
and brought before the king's council in Aug. following j
from whom receiving se^•eral checks and threatnings was at
length released. In the latter end of 1679, Luzancy left the
university, having before borrowed a considerable sum of
money of one of the chapl. of Ch. Ch. (P. B. ) for wliom he
pretended kindness, but minding not the payment of it, he
was sued for it by law. At the same time he became, by
the favour of the bishop of London, vicar of Dover-Court in
Essex,' to the church of which place the town of Harwich
belongs ; so that he was vicar of that also, as well as of
Dover-Court. Soon after, to prevent an unchast life, he
married a gentlewoman in those parts, where lie was lately
(perhaps still) living.' He hath written and pub. (1) Serm.

Justus Christop. Sciiomerus, and M. Meno Reich,

year in the university, and afterwards learned men in their fooil
own country. The first, who was professor and superin-
tendent at Lubeck, wrote one or more books against the
Socinians and other things. Besides them were also so-
journers Paul Bauldrey a Frenchman of note, and Joh.
Wandalinus of Copenhagen in Denmark, both learned
men : the first of which hath written notes on Lactantiux de

was afterwards tutor to John earl of Mulgrave, and at length
chancellor of the diocese of Lincoln. He hath written (1)

vening matters impertinent to his present purpose, read the

self. The principal passages in all of them are linked to-
gether by synchronisms, not only placed in the margin, but
in the beginning or end of every occurrence. This book;
which was after^va^ds put into Latin by the author, for the
use of the said earl, entit. Elementa Historiee ob Orbe condito

have been several editions of this book to the great benefit
of the bookseller that printed it. One came out in l6"9,
with the addition of A List of the Names of the H. of Com.
then sitting, and a List of his Majesty's Privy Council, &c.
And in 168? the third edit, of it was jjublished in oct. with
a continuation from the year 16/8, to 168-1, by a great
favourer of the Roman Catholics. There is no name set to
this Medulla Hist. Angl. only report makes Dr. W. Howell
the author, and upon that report, I presume here to set it
down under his name. He hath without doubt other things
extant, but such 1 have not yet seen, and therefore I can
only now say that he died in the beginning of the year l683.

the theological faculty in the university of Leyden, was de-
clared in convocation doct. of div. by virtue of the letters of
the chancellor of the university, and on the eleventh of the
same month he was diplomated, being then in the univer-
sity, and well known to be one who had upon all occasions
testified his great affections and zeal for the church of Eng-
land. He hath written some things, which I have not yet
seen.

Jun. 22. Andrew Sall lately a Jesuit, was actually created
D. D. He was born in the county of Tipperary in Ire-
land, educated from his childhood in the Roman faith ; and
when he was in his riper years, he entred into the society of
Jesus. Afterwards he became professor of divinity in the
colleges of Painpelona, Polencia, and Tudela in Spain, rector
and professor of controversies in the Irish college of the
university of Salamanca, professor of moral theology in the
college of the society of Jesus in the same university. At
length he being sent on the mission into Ireland, he was iit
his elder years, by the unspeakable constancy and indefatiga-
ble charity, <is also solid doctrine and example of the pious
and upright life of Dr. Tho. Price archbishop of Cashels or
Cashiels gained to the church of England. In testimony of
which he made a public declaration on the 17th of May
1674, before the said archb. Hugh bishop of Waterford, and
others, in the church of St. John in the city of Cashel. On
the 5th of Jul. following he preached a sermon in Ch. Ch.
in Dublin before Arthur earl of Essex lord lieutenant of Ire-
land and the council there, in detestation of the church of
Rome and its doctrine, and about the same time he became
chaplain to the said lord lieutenant and had preferment there
bestowed on him.* In the latter end of July or thereabouts,
an. 1675, he came to Oxon, and, by letters of commenda-
tion, was not only received into Wadh. coll. where he con-
tinued for some months, but afterwards actually created
(not incorporated) D. D. as before 1 have told you, and in
the act following (as in that in 1 677) lie shewed himself a
smart disputant in the tlieological vespers, being then do-
mestic chaplain to his majesty and dignified in Wales;
After he had remained in the said coll. and in an house in
Halywell adjoyning, for some time, in a weak and sickly
condition, he, by the favour of Dr. Fell, removed to con-
venient lodgings in the cloysler at Ch. Ch. near the chap-
lain's quadrangle, where he remained about two years. In

which were a prebendary of Swords, the rectory of Art!
Mulchan, and the chauntorship of Cashels, where he con-

the sixth day of Apr. an. l682, aged 70 years or thereabouts,
and was burled in the cathedral church of St. Patrick near
Dublin ; leaving then behind him A Body of Philosophy,
which he designed, if he had lived, to pul)lish.

of Magd. coll. now of Coleshill in Warwickshire, was ac-

The reader may be pleased now to know that whereas
Francis Junius had spent much time in Oxon in his
younger years for the sake of study, libraries and conversa-
tion of learned men, as also in his elderly years in l658 and
59; he did retire to Oxon in the month of Oct. this year,
purposely to dye there, give his MSS. and collections to the
public library where he had spent mucli time, and to have
his bones laid in some church or chappel in Oxon, He
came for the sake of Dr. Thorn. Marshall rector of Line,
coll. a great critic in the Gothic and Saxon languages, as
Junius was, from whom Marshall "had formerly received in-
struction as to those studies, and taking up his lodgings
against the said coll. he began to put his collections in order;
but being troubled by often visits, he removed his quarters
to an obscure house in Beef-hall-lane in St. Ebbes parish,
where he digested some notes for the press, and made a deed
of gift of his MSS. and collections to the public library.
He continued there till Aug. 167", at which time he went,
upon the earnest invitation of his nephew Dr. Is. Vossius,
to Windsor, and continued for a time in good health and
cheerfulnesa there and near it. At length being overtaken
with a fever, died of it in his said nephew's house near
Windsor, on Monday the 19th of Nov. I677 ; whereupon
his body was conveyed to Windsor and buried in the chappel
or church of St. George within the castle there. In the year

his conversion, and the persecution he endured from the papists thereupon.

following was a table of white marble fixed to the wall near
his grave, with this inscription thereon. M. S. Francisco
Junio, Francisci Junii Biturigis filio, nobilitate generis, in-
tegritate moruin & omnigen^ doctrinj conspicuo viro ; nato
Heidelbergae anno salutis MDLXXXIX, qui \kt omnem

menta laboris sui moriens pene nonagenarius commisit, in
grati animi signiHcationem lubens meritoque titulum posuit,
an. MDCLXXVIII. The titles of some of the books that
he published you may see in the Bodleian or Oxford Cata-
logue. Konigius saith that Junius condidit tres libros De

liorum per antiquas, Gotliicam & Angl. &c. an. 1635. una
cum Glossario Gothico edi curavit.

To this learned person I must add another of less name
(much noted in his time, but since not, for the art and
faculty of poetry) who had spent about eight years in Oxon,
partly in custody, but mostly in liberty and freedom in the
public library, and conversation with ingenious scholars.
The anagram of his sirname is Benevolus, given to him by
flatterers and pretenders to poetry for his benevolence to
them. His Christian name was Edward Bendlowes son
and heir of Andrew Bendlowes esq; son of Will. Bendlowes
esq;' son and heir of Andrew Bendlowes, Serjeant at law.
&c. all lords of Brent Hall and of other lands in Essex, but
descended from those of their name of Bendlowes in York-
shire. ^Vhen he w<a3 young he was very carefully educated
in grammar learning, and when at about 1 6 years of age he
became a gentleman commoner of St. Joh. college in Cam-
bridge, to which he was afterwards a benefactor.' Thence
he was sent to travel with a tutor or guide, and having
rambled through several countries and visited seven courts
of princes, he returned a most accortiplished person as to
behaviour and discourse, yet tinged with romanism : but
being a very imprudent man in matters of worldly concern,
and ignorant as to the value or want of money, he did, after
he was invested in his estate at Brent hall and elsewhere,
which amounted to seven hundred, some say a thousand,
pounds per an. make a shift, though never married, to
squander it mostly away on poets, flatterers, (which he
loved) in buying of curiosities (which some called baubles)'
on musicians, buffoons, &c. He also gave from his said
estate a large portion with a niece " named Philippa," who
was married to one Blount of Maple-durham in Oxfordshire
esq; supposing thereby that so long as tliey lived he should^
not want, but the case being otherwise, he lived afterwords
in a mean condition. He also very imprudently entred him-
self into bonds for the payment of other men's debts ; which
he being not able to do, he was committed to prison in
Oxford, which was the matter that first brought him thither;
but being soon after released, he spent the remainder of his
days there in studies, till the time of his death. This person,
who was esteemed in his younger days a great patron of
poets, especially of Franc. Quarles, Will. D'avenant, Payne
Fisher, &c. who had either dedicated books, or had written
epigrams and {wems on him, hath several things (whereby
he hath obtained the .name of a divine author) extant;
among which are these (1) Sphinx Theologica, seu Musica

had been courted and admired for his antient extraction,
education and parts by great men of this nation, and had
been a patron to several ingenious men in their necessities,
and by his generous mind, void of a prudential foresight,
had spent a very fair estate without keeping little or any
thing to support him, did spend his last days at Oxon, but
little better than in obscure condition : in which, for want
of conveniencies required fit for old age, as clothes, fewel,
and warm things to refresh the body, he marched off in a
cold season, on the 18th of Dec. at eight of the clock at
night, an. 1676, aged 73 years or more : whereupon, by a
collection of money among certain scholars, who knew what
he had been, he was decently buried with escutchions in the
north isle or alley joyning to the body of St. Mary's church
in Oxon, near to the door that leads thence into Adam
Brome's chappel. In his younger years he was esteemed a
papist, or at least popishly affected ; but being drawn off
from that opinion in his elderly years, he would take occa-
sion oftentimes to dispute against papists and their opinions,
(which was not at all acceptable to his nephew and niece
Blount before-mentioned, which was the cause that his room,
rather than company, was desired by them) and could not

endure any person that seemed to favour the opinions of
Arminius or Socinus. His picture now hangs in the gallery
belonging to the public library at Oxon.

This year one John Wulferus of Nuremberg became a
sojourner in Oxon for the sake of the public library, went to
his own country, became a professor, and published Secalim
and other Talmudical authors in Hebrew and Latin.

Creations.

The most noble James Duke or Ormond chancellor of
the university coming to Oxon in the beginning of Aug.
this year, where he was splendidly entertained by the
academians with treats in several colleges and speeches in
the Theatre, it was his desire that there should be a creation
of doctors of the civil law, and a creation of two persons in
divinity. Those that were created in the former faculty,
which was on the sixth day of Aug. in the Theatre, were
these.

Doctors of Law.

Richard Boteler earl of Arran in Ireland, and baron
Boteler of Weston in Huntingdonshire in England, second
son of James duke of Ormond. — This noble and couragious
person, who had done good service against the rebels at
Carickfergus in Ireland, and in that perilous sea-fight against
the Dutch, when James duke of York was general at sea
(for which and other services he was made baron of Weston,")
died on the aSth of Jan. l685. Whereupon his body was ['•^0^1
deposited in the same vault in the abby church at West-
minster, where that of his elder brother Thomas earl of
Ossory, and their mother Elizab. dutchess of Ormond had
been laid : which dutchess died in her house in St. James's
square within the liberty of Westminster, on the 21st of
July 1684. But whether their bodies were afterwards
removed to Kilkenny in Ireland, there to be deposited in the
vault among the bodies of the Ormondian family, I know not
as yet.

Pierce Boteler viscount Galmoy in Ireland of the
Ormondian family.

Francis Aungier viscount, afterwards earl, of Longford
in the same kingdom.

Robert Fitz-Gerald son of the earl of Kildare.
Sir KiNGsMiLL Lucy bart.
Sir Thom. Erscott knt.

Sir James Boteler knt. He was natural son of .lames

duke of Ormond, by Isabel daughter of Henry earl of Hol-
land, and wife of sir James Thynne of Langleate in Wilt-
shire. This person, who was bred up to the common law in
Line, inn, succeeded Will, lord Brouncker in the mastership
of St. Katharine's hospital near the Tower of London, &c.

Sir Edw. Scott knt.

Sir Rob. Southwell knt. — This most worthy and accom-
plished person, who was son of Rob. Southwell of Kingsale
in the county of Cork in Ireland esq; vice-admiral of Moun-
ster and of the privy council there, (descended from the
antient family of his name in Norfolk ) w.is born in Kingsale,
educated in Queen's coll. in this university (wliere he was
batch, of arts) and afterwards became a barrister of Line,
inn. On the 27th of Sept. 1664 he was sworn one of the
clerks of his majesty's privy council, on the 20th of Nov.
1665 he received the honour of knighthood from his majesty.

being then accounted a gentleman of known worth and
abilities, and fitted every way for the service of his majesty,
who then thouglit good to give him the character of his
envoy-extraordinary to the king of Portugal, whither he was
to go in few (hiys after. In the latter end of Oct. I67I he
was sent envoy-extraordinary to count de Monterey governor
or vice-roy for liis catholic maj. of the Spanish Netherlands ;
" wiis a recruiter in the parliament that began 166I, for
" Penryn in Cornwall Ijefore l673,"* and in the beginning
of Dec. 1679 ('he presbyterians and fanatics being then ram-
j)aut upon the account of the popish plot) he resigned his
clerkship of the council. In Feb. following he was sent
envoy-extraordinary to the elector of Brandenbcrg, and after
his return was much respected for the services he iiad done
for the crown. Afterwards he was one of the commissioners
of the customs for England, secretary of state for Ireland,
and one of the privy council for that realm ; and in tlie latter
end of Nov. 1691 he was chosen president of the Uoyal Society,
in the room of Dr. AV'alt. Charlton, having been fellow
thereof several years before, &c. He hath a very hopeful son
named Edward Southwell lately a gentleman commoner of
Mert. coll. who hath translated into English An Account of
Virtue : or. Dr. Hen. Move's Abridgment of Morals, Lond.
l6gO, Dct. It is done so well, and the style is so masculine
and noble, that I know not as yet any book written in better
English.

which James was younger brother to Thom. vise. Weymouth,
and elder to Hen. Frederick Thynne keeper of his majesty's
library at St. James's, in the jilace of Thom. Rossedecease<l,
and afterwards treasurer and receiver-general to Katharine
the qu. dowager.

Doctors of Divinity.

Dec. 12. Will. MoRBToN of Ch. Ch. domestic chaplain
to James duke of Ormond was then declared D. D. and on

the 29th of Jan. following was dijdomated. He was

afterwards bishop of Kildare.

Sim. Digbv another domestic chaplain to the said duke,
was declared D. D. the same day, and afterwards diplomated
with Moreton.

The said two doctors were nominated by the chancellor of
the university, who then thought it not fit to have them
created when he was in Oxon, least a gap thereby should be
made for others. As for Dr. Digby (son of Essex Digby
bishop of Dromore) who had been incorp. M. A. in 1676,
he became bish. of Limerick an. 168I, where sitting till
1690, was, in Dec. the same year, nominated by his majesty
king AVill. III. bish. of Elphine, to which soon after he was
translated.

This year was a sojourner in Oxon for the sake of the
public library Theod. Dassovius of Hamburgh, who was
after\vards professor of jioetry and of the Hebrew tongue in
theuniv. of Witteniberg and a publisher of certain Talmudical
matters. " One is Excussio Sententiarum Rabbinorum de

office till after he was elected warden of Wykeham's coll.
near Winchester, (an account of which I have given you
among the D. of D. an. 1675) otherwise, 'tis very probable,
he would have served a third year, rather than be out of
authority, which he loved.

In a convocation held on the 10th of Apr. was a letter

after he had been a graduate, served very faithfully in his
maijesty's army during the grand rebellion began by the
godly party ; and afterwards having not an opportunity of
returning to the university to prosecute his studies and take
his degrees in the usual \vay, he chiefly betook himself to
the study of physic, wherein he made so laudable a progress
that he was well qualified to be a licentiate in the said
faculty, &c. This order being read, and thereupon pro-
posed to the house, whether he should be licensed to practise,
or not, the nons made so much noise that the proctors were
put to the trouble of taking suffrages in the crowd ; (which
might have disordered a man to speak a speech presently
after, I mean Mr. Wiglit the sen. proct. who was then to
surrender up the badges of his authority, but he came off
well enough notwithstanding.) At length it was carried by
145, against 63, votes ; whereupon Mr. Fowler wiis licensed
to practise phys. 2 May following, which afterwards he did
with gpod success in his own country, but hath not published
any thing that I know.

several years attendant upon the duke of Lauderdale in his
majesty's service in the kingdom of Scotland, as well as in

England that he hath done remarkable service to the

church of England during his abode in that other kingdom,
and hath received several marks of honour from the late
archb. of St. Andrew's, and the clergy of Scotland, &c.

John Snell bom at Comonell in Carrick, in the sherriff-
dome of Ayre in Scotland, bred in the university of Glascow
imder Jam. Darumpley prof, of philosophy, of which he was
afterwards diplomated mast, of arts, died in the house of
Mr. Beiij. Cooper in Halywell in the suburb of Oxon on the
sixth day of Aug. this year, aged 50 years (after he had spent
some time there) and was buried at the upper end of the
chancel (under the north wall) of the chap, or church of St.
Cross of Halywell. This I mention, because that in his last
will and testament he bequeathed the manor of Uffeton alias
Olufeton alias Ulveton in the county of Warwick, worth
about 450/. per an. to be employed (after certain years spent,
and moneys rais'd and paid thence) for the maintenance of
certain Scotch scholars in such coll. or hall in Oxon, that the
vicechancellor of the univ. of Oxon. provost of Qu. coll.
master of Bal. coll. and president of St. John's coll. for the
time being, shall think fit. Their number is not to be
above twelve, or under five, to be chosen from Glascow
coll. from the number of such that had spent 3 years, or two
at the least, there, or one or two in some other coll. in Scot-
land, &c. They are to enjoy the said exhibition about ten or
eleven years, and then they are to return into their own
country to get preferment there, &c. This estate Mr. Snell
got by being first a clerk under sir Orlando Bridgman, while
he had chamber- practice in the time of usurpation. Se-
condly by being cryer of the court of exchequer while the
said sir Qrl. was lord chief baron thereof, and of the com-
mon-pleas when sir Orl. was ch. justice of that court, and
lastly by being seal-bearer when he was lord keeper. After-
wards, being much esteemed for his great diligence and
imderstanding, he was employed sometime into Scotland
for James duke of Monmouth, and bore the seal again when

Batchelors of Physic.

Three were admitted, of whom Francis Smith M. A. and
fellow of Magd. coll. was one.— I set him down here, not
that he was a writer, but upon this account following, viz.
that after the death of Dr. James Hyde principal of Magd.
hall, which hapned on the 7th of May I68I, the fellows of
Magd. coll. calling into question the power of the chanc. of
the university of putting in a principal of the said hall, did
thereupon (the president being then absent) elect to be prin-
cipal the said Francis Smith, 21 May 16S1, and did intend
to seal up the hall gates against the vicechancellor, in case
he should come to admit a principal of the chancellor's
nomination. But the president in the mean time returning,
and the fellows desir'd by the bishop of Winchester to desist
from these their proceedings, the matter came to nothing.
So that the vicechancellor finding no opposition, he did
forthwith admit Dr. Will. Levet of the chancellor's nomi-
nation, as I shall tell you among the D. of D. following.
"This Mr. Smith was afterwards Dr. of his faculty, and phy-
sician in the army of king William III. in Ireland, where he
died about the beginning of June l6gi.

Dr. Tunstall, who also wrote on the Scarborough water, was a friend of
that Mr. Ambrose Barnes whose memoirs I have before mentioned. He is
described in them as a gentleman * of an antient house, and of great strict-
' ness in religion, if his scruples by a tincture of melancholy that darkened

* his constitution had not, in room of his humours, carried him into excess.'
He was much addicted to alchymy. ' But this mention of Dr. Tonstall

* minds me of a treatise concerning Scarboro' Spaw which he had composed,
' desiring our author (Ambrose Uarncs) to peruse it, before it went to the
' press, excusing the flatness of the style. As to stile, Mr. Barnes told him
' the gravity of the subject needed not the trifling embcllishnient of words
' and language, for ^ger non quterit medicitm eloqnentem sed sanantem.
' Nothing would serve the doctor but he must know from what book Mr.

* was too trite and vulgar a sentence to stand in the front of a learned work.
' But the honest Doctor, growing impatient, protested if his friend did not tell
' him where he had it, he would quote that sentence, and set down Ambrose
' for the author of it ; so to satisfy the good doctor's importunity, he told him

mostly by the coming to the university of certain noble
foreigners.

Batchelor of Divinity,

June 14. Rich. Bravell of Exet. coll. chaplain to the

(where he had shew'd himself so useful to the public, that

eminent persons required his continuance there) was diplo-
mated batch, of div.

Doctors of Law.

Charles the Electoral prince Palatine being entertained at
Oxon in Septerab. this year, some of his retinue were created
doctors of law, viz.

Sept g. JoHAN. Philippus ab Adelsheim, Franco-Ger-
manus, master of the horse to the electoral prince.

Fredericus Adolphus Hansen, lord in Grumbuy and
Beulshubygard.

GusTAVus Georgius D'Halekj of Brandenberg in Ger-
many.

Paulus Hacken'bergh of Westphalia in Germany, pro-
fessor of eloquence and histories in the univ. of Heidelberg.

The said four persons were created on the gth of Sept.

Feb, 25. Geouge Lewis duke of Brunswick and Lunen-

berg, was then created with solemnity. This person,

who was now commonly called prince of Hannover, and had
come to Whitehall on the l6th of Decemb. going before,
purposely to pay his respects to the lady Anne daughter of
James duke of York, was, the day before he was created,
received in the university with solemnity at his coming
thereunto, and being lodg'd in Ch. Ch. he with his retinue
were conducted the next day by the bishop, Dr. Fell, to the
public schools, and being habited in scarlet in the apody-
terium, was thence conducted by three of the beadles with
the king's professor of law to the Theatre, (where the con-
vocation was then held) and coming near to the vicechan-

ceUor's seat, the professor presented liim, (the prince being
then bare) which done, the vicechancellor standing bare, aa
the doctors and masters did, he created him doctor of law.
That also being done, he went up to his chair of state pro-
vided for him on the right hand of the vicechancellor's seat,
and when three of his retinue were created doctors (as I am
now about to tell you) the orator complemented him in a
speecli in the name of the university. The next day he left
the university, at which time was presented to him, in the
name thereof. Hist. Sf Antiq. Univ. Oxon. with the cuts
belonging thereto.

The noble John free baron of Reek, of the retinue of the
said prince of Hannover, was created at the same time.

Doctors of Physic.

Sept. 9. The electoral prince Charles count palatine of

the Rhine, was with solemnity created doctor of phys.

This most noble person, who was son of Charles Lovys
count pal. of the Rhine, and prince elector of the empire
(elder brother to prince Rupert) and he the son of Frederick
count palatine of the Rhine, prince elect, of the empire and
king of Bohemia by the princess Elizabeth his wife daughter
of king James I. of England, was received with solemnity
the day before in the university, and took up his lodgings in
the dean's apartment in Ch. Ch. The next day being con-
ducted to the public schools by the bishop and others, and
thence to the apodyterium, he was there habited in scarlet
with some of his retinue : Thence he was conducted by the
beadles and Dr. Morison tlie botanic professor (who at that
time executed the office of the king's professor of phys. then
absent) to the Theatre where the convocation was solem-
nized : And coming near to the vicech. seat, the said doctor
presented him with a little speech ; which being done tlie
vicech. created him with another, and then was conducted
to his seat of state on the right hand of the vicechancellor.
All which, with the creation of some of his retinue being
finish'd, the orator complemented him with another speech
in the name of the university. The next day his highness
left Oxon, went to Hampton-court, and just at his arrival
there (Sept. 12.) news was brought him that his father died
suddenly at Edingen between Manheim and Frankendale on
the 7th of the said month according to the account there
followed.

Philip Christopher de Koningsmarck count or earl of
Westerwick and Stegholme, lord in Rotenburg and New-
house, created doct. of physic the same day (Sept. 9.) as one
of the retinue of the aforesaid electoral prince. — He was .
brother, if I mistake not, to Charles John count of Konings-
marck, who in the latter end of 168I was committed to
Newgate, and brought to a public trial for his life for a deep
suspicion of having a signal hand in the murder of Tho.
Thynne of Longleat in Wilts, esq; in revenge, as 'twas then
said, for depriving him of his mistress called Elizabeth
countess of Ogle, dau. and heir of the antient and illustrious
family of Piercy earl of Northumberland.

horse to prince Rupert, uncle to the elect, prince. — He is

" wards knighted, and died in l693."'

Dec. 8. JoH. Mill of Qu. coll. This learned divine,

who is now principal of St. Edm. hall, hath in the press at
Oxon the New Testament in a Greek fol. according to Rob.
Stephens his fair fol. edition, an. 1550 wherein he gives an
account of the various lections of all the MSS. that could be
met with, both at home and abroad : Also the readings of
the fathers Greek and Latin, with a judgment upon such
lections, as are more considerable, with large annotations
upon tliein ; together with a very full collection of parallel
places of holy Scripture, and other places illustrative of par-
ticular words, or passages in each verse, placed at the foot
of the Greek text in each page, with distinct asteristics and
marks of reference ; by which, in every verse, may be seen
what part of each verse, the said places of scripture do refer
to. This most elaborate work was began above 15 years
since, and without intermission carried on with great in-
dustry and care. He hath consulted all the antient MSS. of
the whole, or any part of the New Test, now reposited in
England, and has procured a collation of the most authentic
MS. copies at Rome, Paris and Vienna. The work was
attempted by the advice and countenance of Dr. Joh. Fell
bishop of Oxon, and the impression began at his charge in
his lordship's printing-house near the Theatre. After the
said bishop's death, his executors being not willing to carry
on the undertaking, the author (Dr. Mill) refunded the
prime costs, and took the impression on himself, and at his
proper expence it is now so near finish'd, that the publication
IS expected within a year, with very learned prolegomena,
that will give an historical account of the tradition or con-
veyance of the New Test, and other most early records of the
church.

Mar. 2. Henby Aldrich can. of Ch. Ch. He accu-

mulated the degrees in divinity, and on the l/th of June
1689 was installed dean of Ch. Ch. in the place of Mr. Joh.
Massey, who withdrew himself from that office in the latter
end of Nov. going before.

In a convocation held in the beginning of July this year,
were letters of the delegated power of the chanc. of the
university read in behalf of Will. Hore M. A. of Exet.
coll. chapl. in ord. to his majesty and preb. of Worcester,
that he might accumulate the degrees of batch, and doct. of
div. but whether he did so, it appears not.

Incorporations.

Thirteen masters of arts of Cambr. were incorporated this
year (mostly after the act) but none of them is yet a writer,
as I can yet find. Among them was Byron Needham,
brother to Tho. vise. Kilinurrey in Ireland.

July 12. William Cave D. D. of St. John's colL in Cam-
bridge.' This person, who was now rector of Great

Alhallows in London, and in 1684 hail succeeded Mr. Joh.
Rosewell in his canonry of Windsor, (about which time be
became rector of Haseley in Oxfordsh. as it seems) is n
learned man, as divers books published by him in English
and Lat. shew, the titles of which are now too many to be
here set down. See in Jer. Taylor among the writers, an.
1667, vol. iii. col. 789.

LivELEY MoDY Or MooDY doct. of dlv. of the said coll.
of St. Joh. was also incorporated this year. May 2, he being

' son of great integrity and affection to the interests of learn-

' ing and tlie church. That he liad s[)ent several years in

*■ travel in the eastern parts, and had brought back with him
' divers pieces of antiquity, and as a testimony of his respects
' and kindness to his mother the university, hatli deposited
• them in this place, &c.' This gent, who about the same
time took holy orders, was in the month of Dec. l684 in-
stalled ))rel). of Durham upon the i)roinotion of Dr. Dennis
Greenvill to the deanery thereof, and is hereafter to be num-
bred among the Oxford writers.

In the month of May his royal highness Jambs Dukr op
York witli his royal consort Joseph a Maria or Beathicia
Maria, with the Lady Anne his daughter, were entertained
by the university of Oxon ; and it being the duke's pleasure
that some of his retinue should be created doctors of the
civil law, there was a convocation celebrated in the morning
of that day (May 22.) of his departure, wherein these fol-
lowing persons were created doctors of that faculty, viz.

Doctors of Law.

John Fitz-Gerald earl of Kildare and baron of Ophalia
in Ireland.

Christopher Lord Hatton, vise. Gretton, governour

of Garnsey or Guernsey. 1 have made mention of his

father in these Fasti among the created doctors of law in
)642.

Heneage Finch eldest son of Heneage earl of Winchel-
sea, captain of the king's halberdiers and one of the gent, of
the bedchamber to the duke of York.

JoH. WoRDEN bart. secretary to the said duke, " and par-
" liament man."

JoH. Conway hart.

Hugh (iRosvENER esq;

Tho. Cholmondeley esq;

JoH. Egerton esq;

The second of these last three, was afterwards a knight
for Cheshire to <erve in that pari, that began at Westm. 19
May 1685, 1 Jac. 2.
[223] T^iay 23. Kob. Bui.kley second son of Rob. lord Bulkley

■vise. Cashels in Ireland. He was nominated the day

before to be created, but did not then appear, as others then
nominated did not at that time or afterwards : among sucli
were Henky Mordant earl of Peterborough, and Went-
woRTH Dillon earl of Roscommon; which last, who was
son of .lames earl of Roscommon, was educated from his
youth in all kind of polite learning ; but whether he had
S])ent any time in this university, unless in the condition of
a sojourner, I cannot tell. Much about the time that James
duke of York was married to Josepha Maria the jirincess of
Modena, he became, by his endeavours, captain of the band
of pensioners belonging to his majesty king Charles II. and
afterwards master of the horse to the said Josepha Maria
duchess of York; both which places he quitted some time
before his death. This worthy person, who was accounted
most excellent in the art of poetry, hath written and pub-
lished (1) An Essay on translated Verse, Loud. 168O, 1084,
&c. in 4 sheets in qu. Before which, John Dryden ' the
poet laureat hath a copy of verses in praise of it, as also
Charles Dryden his son of Trin. coll. in Cambr. and others.
The second edit, of this essay was published two years after
the pamphlet entit. An Essay upon Poetry, written by John
earl of Mulgrave knightot the most noble order of the Garter.
To one of the editions of the said Essay on translated Verse,

- [Jo. Dryden coll. Trin. Cant. A. B. 1653-4. Barer.]

is added by the said earl of Roscommon, A Specimen of blank
Verse, being tlie fight between the angels, taken out of John
Milton's book called Paradise Lost. (2) .Several prologues
and epilogues to plays, as also divers copies of verses and
translations ; whicli are published with the respective plays
themselves, and in the Miscellany Poems, &c. printed at
London by Jacob Tonson 16B4, and in the Collection* of
Poems printe<l at Lond. 1693 and I694, oct. He hath also
translated into English, Horace's Art of Poetry, Lond. l680>
qu. Before which Edm. Waller esq; hath a copy of verges
on that translation and of the use of poetry : As also into
Frencli The Case of Resistance of Supreme Powers, Lond.
in oct. written by Dr. Will. Sherlock. At length this most
noble and ingenious count paying his last debt to nature in
his house neiir that of St. James's, within the liberty of
Westminster on the 17th of Jan. or thereabouts, an. 168-1,
was buried in the church of St. Peter, commonly called the
abby church within the city of Westminster. He was suc-
ceeded in his iionours l)y his uncle Gary Dillon a colonel of
a regiment in Ireland in the war between king James II.
and king William III. from which place going into England,
was overtaken by a violent disease which brought him to his
grave in the city of Chester, in the month of Nov. 1689.
James earl of Roscommon before-mentioned, father to
Wentworth the poet, was, when young, reclaimed from the
superstition of the Koinish church by the learned and reli-
gious Dr. Usher primate of Ireland, and thereupon was sent
by him into England, as a jewel of price, to be committed to
the care and trust of Dr. George Hakewill, who finding him
to be a young man of pregnant parts, placed him in Exeter
coll. under the tuition of Laurence Bodley batch, of div.
nephew to the great sir Tho. Bodley, in the beginning of
the year 1628 ; in which coll. continuing some years, became
a person of several accomplishments, and afterwards earl of
Roscommon in his own country of Ireland. The next per-
sons who were nominated to be created doctors of the civ.
law, but were not, were James Boteler earl of Ossory,
Franc, vise. Newport, George Savile lord Eland, eldest son
of George marquiss of Halifax, Robert lord Lexington,
(who with Anth. vise. Falkland were sworn of their majesties
privy council 17 Mar. Itigi.) col. Rob. Worden one of the
grooms of the bedchamber to the duke, who afterwards did
good service for his master when he was king, being then a
major general. He died in Red-lyon-square near London,
on St. James's day or thereabouts, I690. The next who
was in Oxon, but not created, was major Rich. Bagot a re-
tainer to the said duke, and after him James Graham esq;
younger brother to Rich. vise. Preston ; which James was '
afterwards privy purse to, and a colonel under, king James
II. to whom afterwards he closely adhered when he fled, to
avoid imminent danger in England, into France, &c.

In the afternoon of that day wherein the aforesaid creation
was made, the said duke, dutchess and l.idy Anne being
about to leave Oxon, the vice-chancellor with other doctors
went to take their leave of them, at which time the vice-
chancellor did in the name of the university present to the
duke the Hist, and Antic/, of the Univ. of Oxon, with the cuts
belonging thereunto, to the duchess the said cuts by them-
selves, and the Natural History of Oxfordshire, written by
Dr. Plot ; and a fair English Bible to the lady Anne. AU
which books were richly bound.

On the 13th of June Adolphus Johannes count-palatine
of the Rhine and duke of Bavaria, aged 20 years or there-
abouts (son to prince Adolphus uncle to the present king of
Sweedland) came to Oxon under the conduct of sir Charles
Cotterel master of the ceremonies, and lodged that night in

the apartment belonging to the dean of Ch. Ch. The next
day, after he hail vieweil most places in the university, and
the theatre, he went thence to the apodyterium, where he
with such of his retinue that ware to be created doctors,
being habited in scarlet, were conducted into the convoca-
tion bouse, and created, as now I am about to tell you.

Jun. 14. The most illustrious prince Adoli-hus Johan.
count pal. of tiie Hhine, duke of Bavaria, &c. was presented
with an encomiastical speech by the deputy orator : which
[2'M] being done, the vice-chancellor created him with another,
doct. of the civil law, and then was conducted to his chair of
state on the right hand of the vice-chancellor. Afterwards
were these following presented,

Doctors of Physic.

Jun. 14. Laurence Ckonyng tutor to prince Adolphus
before-mentioned, was created doctor, while the said prince
sate in his chair of state.

Mar. 5. Martis Lister esq; was declared doctor of phys.
by virtue of the chancellor's letters sent to the members of

the ven. convocation then assembled, partly running thus

' He was lately a practitioner of physic at York, now here
in London, a person of exemplary loyalty, and of high esteem
amongst the most eminent of his profession for his excellent
skill and success therein, and hath given farther proof of his
worth and knowledge by several learned books by him pub-
lished. He hath entertained so great an affection for the

university of Oxon, that he hath lately presented the library
with divers valuable books both manuscript and printed, and
enriched the new mus8eum with several altars, coins, and
other antiquities, together with a great number of curiosities
of nature, whereof several cannot be matched for any price ;
which yet he declares to be but an earnest of what he farther
intends,' &c. On the eleventh of the said month of March
the diploma for his creation was sealed, &c. This learned
Dr. who is a Yorkshire man born,* and had been bred up
under sir Matthew Lister (mentioned in the incorporations,
in the Fasti of the first vol. of this work, an. 1605.) was
educated in St. John's college in Cambridge, was afterwards
of the royal society, and after, when doct. fellow of the coll.
of phys.' Among several things that he hath written, are

of Aug. following, he was installed archdeacon of Notting-
ham in the place of Vere Harcourt ' deceased (who had suc-
ceeded in that dignity Dr. AVill. Robinson, in Sept. 166O)
and being nominated bishop of Peterborough upon the pro-
motion of Dr. Will. Lloyd to tlie see of Norwich, in the
latter end of July 1685, was consecrated thereunto in the
archb. chappel at Lambeth on the 25th of Oct. following, at
which time Rich. Blechinden batch, of div. of St. Job. coll.
in Oxon preached the consecration serinon. This worthy
person, who was born in Kent and educated in St. Joh. coll.
in Cambridge,^ was one of the six bishops, that were (with
the most religious and conscientious William archb. of Can-
terbury) committed prisoners to the Tower of London on
the 8th of June I688 for subscribing and delivering a peti-
tion to his maj. king James II. wherein they shewed the
great aversness they found in themselves to the distributing
and publishing in all their churches his majesty's then late
declaration for liberty of conscience, &c. which was then
esteemed libellous and seditious. Afterwards coming to
their tryal in Westminster hall on the 25th of the same
month they were actjuitted, to the great rejoycing of the
generality of people. After the prince of Orange came to
the crown and setled, he was one of those bishops, together
with the archb. that were deprived of their respective sees
for not taking the oaths of allegiance and supremacy to him
and the qu. whereupon Dr. Rich. Cumberland of Cambridge
being nominated to the see of Peterborough by their majes-
ties, he was consecrated thereunto in the church of St. Mary
le Bow in Loudon on the 5th of July I691.'

Creations.

In a convocation held 15 Dec. were letters read from the
chanc. of the university in behalf of one Elias Boherel
(born at Rochelle, partly bred under his father an eminent
physician, and two years or more in theuniversity of Saumu5)
to be created batchelor of the civil law, but whether he
was created or admitted it appears not. He and his father
were French protestants, and were lately come into England,
to enjoy the liberty of their religion, which they could not
do in France, because of their expulsion thence by the king
of that country.

Tho' his majesty king James II. was entertained by the
university in the beginning of Sept. thjs year, yet there was
no creation made in any faculty, which was expected and
gaped after by many.

Dodwell of the city of Oxon, son of William, supposed to
be brot)ier to alderman Henry Dodwell mayor of the said
city in the 34th of queen Eliz, Dom. ]5()2. was born in the
parish of St. Warburgh, commonly called St Warborough
within the city of Dublin, in the beginning of the grand
rebellion that broke out in that kingdom in Octob. l641,
educated in grammar learning under Christopher Wallis in
the free-school, situated in the Bederew, \vithin the city of
York, from l649, to l654, and afterwards for a year's time
in Dublin, entred a student in Trin. coll. there, an. 1656,
and when batehelor of arts, was made fellow thereof.
After he had proceeded in that faculty, he left his fellowship
to avoid entring into holy orders, and in 1666 I find him a
sojourner in Oxon, purposely to advance himself in learning
by the use of the public library. Thence he return'd to his
native country for a time, and published a posthumous book
entit. De Obslinalione, Opus poslh. Pictatem Christiano-
Stoicnm, Scholastico More suadens. Dubl. 1672 oct. Before
which book, (written by his sometime tutor named Joh.
Stearne M. D. and publ. professor in the university of Dub-
lin *) Mr. Dodwell put of his o^yn composition Prolegomena
Apologetico, de Usu Dogmatum Philosophicorutn, &c. In
the beginning of this book is Dr. Steame's epitaph without
date, insculp'd on a marble, on the north side of the altar in
Trin. coll. chappel near Dublin, part of which is tliis —
' Philosophus, Medicus,summusqueTheologusidem.Sternius
hie,' &c. Afterwards Mr. Dodwell returned into England,
spent his time there in divers places in a most studious
and retired condition, and wrote and published these books
following. (1) Two Letters of Advice. 1. For the Sus-
ception of holy Orders. 2. For Studies Theological, &c.
Printed at Dublin first, and afterwards twice at London in
oct. At the end of the first letter is added A Catalogue

To which is added a fragment of Phil. Sideta Df Cntechis-
tarum Alexandrinnrum Successionc, with notes. Besides
these books, the autlior, now in the prime of his years,
designs others, which in good time may be made extant for
the benefit of the cluirch of England (for wliich he hath a
zealous respect) and commonwealth of learning. His uni-
versal knowledge, and profound judgment in all sciences and
books, has rendred him famous amongst all the learned men
of France and Italy, and the great sanctity and severity of his
life has gain'd him a \eneration very peculiar and distin-

guishing among all sorts of people. His greatest study has
been to assert the honour and interest of religion and the
clergy ; and his writings in defence of the church of England
against papists and presbyterians, have been esteemeii per-
fect pieces in their kind. But notwithstanding all this, the
reader may be pleased to know, that whereas he suffered
much in his estate in his native country, for not coming in,
and taking part with the forces of king James II. when
they endeavoured to keep possession of Ireland against king
William HI, and his forces, an. I689, &c. for which he was
proclaimed rebel : Or had he been there, as he was not,
they would have imprison'd him, if not worse; so, soon
after did he suffer in England (where he then was) for keep-
ing close and adhering to the oaths of allegiance which he
had taken to the said king James H, by being deprived of
the professorship of history (founded by the learned Camb-
den) to the great prejudice of learning. He lives now
obscurely (mostly in his cell in the north suburb of Oxon)
and is preparing his learned lectures, and several useful dis-
courses, for the press.

Creations,

June 15. JoH. Mesxabd was actually created doct. of
div. by virtue of the chancellor's letters; which say that 'he
had been \6 years minister of the reformed church of Paris
at Charcnton, and afterwards chaplain to his majesty (king
William III ) when he was prince of Orange for some

years, in which quality he came with him into Fngland

that he has his ni:>.jesty's warrant to succeed Dr. Is. ^'ossius
in his prebendaiy of Windsor,' &c.

Feb. 26. George AValker an Irish minister lately go-
vernour of London-Deny, and the stout defender of it
against the forces under the command of king James IL
when they besieged it in April, May, &c. this year, was,
after he had been presented by the king's professor of di-
vinity, actually created doctor of that faculty. He was

born of English parents in the county of Tyrone, as 'tis S£ud,
educated in the university of Glascow, and afterwards bene-
ficed at Donaghinore in the county of Tyrone, many miles
distant from the city London-Derry : To which place re-
tiring when the protestants therein, and in those parts, were
resolv'd to keep and defend it against Richard earl of Tir-
connel lord lieutenant of Ireland, and the forces under king
James \\. he became a defendant therein, and at length
governour of it, which he managed with great prudence and
valour. After the siege was riiised, and that part of the
country secured from the incursions of the said forces.he
went into England to pay his respects to king William \tC,
who receiving him griiciously, was highly caress'd by the
courtiers, and afterwards by the citizens of London ; at
which time the common discourse was that Dr. Hopkins
bishop of London-Derry shouhl be translated to Chichester,
and Mr. Walker succeed him in Derry. He hath publishe<l

Londou-Derry. Lond. 1689- qu. &c. (2) Vindication of
the true Account, &o. Ibid. 1689, qu. &c. Afterwards being
about to return to Ireland to do further service therein for

on him : So thiit taking Oxford in his way, in the company
of doctor Jo. Veascy archbishop of Tuam, he was created as
before I have tohl you. Thence he went into Ireland, where
having a command confer'd on him in the English army, he
received his death's wound in the very beginning of July an.
1690, at what time the said army passed over the river of
Boyne in the county of Lowth to fight the forces belonging
to king James II, and soon after he expir'd, at or near

North," second son of Dudley lord North, was, from being
lord chief justice of the common-pleas, advanced to the ho-
nourable office of lord keeper of the great seal of England,
on the 20th of December 1682, and in Septemljer i683 he
was, for his great and faithful services that li* hail rendred
the crown, created a baron of this kingdom by the name and
stile of baron of Guilford in Surrey. He died at Wroxtoft
near Banbury in Oxfordshire on the 5th of September l685,
and was privately buried in a vault under part of the church
there, among the ancestors of his wife named Frances the
second daughter and co-heir of Thomas Pope earl of Downe
in Ireland, uncle to Thomas the last earl of Downe of the
straight or lineal de.'^cent of that family, who died at Oxon
in the year 166O, as I have told you in Henry Beesley
among the writers under the year 16'75 But whereas 'tis
said there (in the first edition of this work) that he married
the eldest daughter and co-heir is an error, for it was the
second, the first named Reata having been m.arried to Wil-
liam Some of Suffolk esquire, and the youngest named
Finetta, to Robert II\de esq; son of .Alexander sometime
bishop of Salisbury.

SirGBORGF. Mackenzie of Rosehaugh (deVallellosaruin)
in the county of Rosse in Scotland having left that country
upon the change of the government there, and violent pro-
ceedings of the kirk party, an. I689, he retire<l to Oxon in
the month of September that year, became a sojourner there
for a time, a frequenter of the public library, and on the
second day of June I69O he was, by the favour of the vene-
rable congregation of regents, admitted a student therein,

where he continued all that summer. This most worthy

and loyal gentleman, son of Simon Mackenzie (brother to
the earl of Seaforth) by Elizabeth his wife daughter of a
gentleman of an antient and heroic extraction named Dr.
Andrew Bruce rector of the university of St. Andrews, was
bom at Dundee in the county of Angus, an. 1636, and having
an ardent desire from his childliood for the obtaining good
letters, he was, at about ten years of age, (at which time he
had conquered his grammar and the best classical authors)
sent to the university of Aberdeen, where, and afterwards in
that of St. .Andrews, he ran through the classes of logic and
philosophy under the tuition of several eminent masters
before he was scarce sixteen years of age. Afterwards
applying his studies, with great zeal, to the civil law, he
travelled into France, and in the university of Bourges he
continued in an eager pursuit of that faculty for about three
years time, .\fter his return to his native country, he be-
came an advocate in the courts at Edinburgh, being then
scarce twenty years of age, and in r66l was made ciioice of
to be an advocate for pleading the causes of the marquess of
Argyle; and afterwards became a judge in the criminal
court, which office he performed with great faith, justice
and integrity. In I674, or thereabouts, he was made the
king's lord advocate and one of his privy council ; and not-
withstanding the great troubles and molestations that arose
from the fanatical party, yet he continued in those places,
and stood steady, faithful and just in the opinion of all good
and loyal men till the beginning of the reign of king James
VII, at which time, being averse in lending his assistance to
the taking away of the penal laws, he was removed, and sir
John Dalrimple now secretary of state in Scotland under
king William 111. was put into his place. Some time after
his removal, he was restored and continued lord advocate
and privy counsellor till king William HI. made a revolution
in Scotland, and then he went into England, as I have before
told you. He was a gentleman well acquainted with the
best authors, whether antient or modern, of indefatigable
industry in his studies, great abilities and integrity in his
profession, powerful at the bar, just on the bench, an able
statesman, a faithful friend, a loyal subject, a constant
advocate for the clergy and universities, of strict honour in
all his actions, and a zealous defender of piety and religion
in all places and companies. His conversation was j)leasant
and useful, severe against vice and loose principles without
regard to quality or autliority, a great lover of the laws and
customs of his country, a contemner of popularity and riches,
frugal in his expences, abstemious in his diet, &c. His
works, as to learning are these (1) Arelinn, a RomaiKC. —
