Matthew Parker. 70.
Matthew Parker succeeded Cardinall Poole in the Arch∣bishoprick, held the same 15 yeares and 5 moneths and de∣ceased anno 1575. Besides a multitude of pious acts, he be∣stowed upon the reparation of his Palace at Canterb. one thousand foure hundred pounds. He lies buried in the Cha∣pell of Lambeth house. Amongst other his works, with the help no doubt of other able Antiquaries, he wrote the lives of his predecessors, the Archbishops of Canterb. intituling his book. De Antiquitate Britannicae Ecclesiae &c. Whereof Cuiacius (having occasion to make mention of it c) gives this commendation. Sunt multa (saith he) in eo auctore prae∣clara, nomen ejus ignoratur, & liber tantum exstat in Anglia, unde accersitur, & accersitus est magno pretio.
