11. WILLIAM TAVERNER, Arm.]
This was he, who in the year of his Sherivalty came to Oxford, and went up into the Pulpit at St. Maries with a sword by his side, and a gold chain about his neck; where he made a Sermon (or an Oration rather) to the University, the stuff, or rather bom∣bace whereof we have set down in our Ecclesiastical History. Now though this was an odde act wherein his zeal was conceived by most to trespass on his discretion, yet was
it born the better in those darker dayes from a person well-affected in Religion, and ab∣horring to invade the Ministerial Function.
18. ROBERT DOYLE, Mil.]
This year (if I mistake not) were the black Assizes at Oxford, wherein (contrary to the common course) the Prisoners caused the death of the Judge, (Chief-Baron Bell) the Sheriff, some of the Lawyers, many of the Justices, and most of the Jury; besides other persons of Quality there present. It was generally imputed to the stench of the priso∣ners clothes and bodies: for whereas other offensive smells are open enemies, and vio∣lently assaulting the brain warn men in some sort to avoid or resist them; a Gaol∣stench trecherously pretendeth alliance, (as made of man-sweat) and so insinuates it self with the less suspicion and more danger into the spirits.
31. WILLIAM CLARKE, Arm.]
He was son, or (if the same with Sir VVilliam Clarke, Sheriff in the 10. of K. James) grand-child to Sir John Clarke of Northampton-shire in the 21. of K. Henry the eight, whose Armes, with the honourable augmentation, and the worthy cause thereof, are there largely described.
36. RICHARD PENYS, Mil.]
He was a worthy Gentleman, and bred Fellow (being the Founders Kinsman) of New∣college in Oxford. He was also lineally descended from James Lord Say and Seal, Tre∣surer of England, in the reign of K. Henry the sixth, and in consideration thereof was 1. Jacobi created Lord Say and Seal. He dyed Anno Dom. 1612. William Fenys, his eldest son, was since created Viscount Say and Seal, and is still alive.
