Rich. Crakenthorpe, D. D. descended of an Anci∣ent Family, bred Fell. in Queens Coll. in Oxf. An. 1. Jac. went over Chaplain to the Lord Evers, sent Am∣bassadour to the King of Denmark. Here he attain∣ed to a great easiness in the Latine Tongue, and kept Correspondency with Persons of Eminent Learning. He was an excellent Logician (witness his Work in that kind) and became Chaplain in Ord. to King Ja. and Rector in Black-Notley in Ess. His Posthume Works, viz. Vigilius dormitans, in defence of Justini∣an the Emp. and the Answer to the Manifesto of the Arch-bishop of Spalato find an Universal and Grateful Reception.

Salkeld, a Branch of a Worshipful Family, bred beyond the Seas either Jesuit or secular Priest. Com∣ing over into England to angle for Proselites, his Line broke and he was cast in Prison. Whence, be∣ing brought to King Ja. by his Arguments (with a Benefice bestowed on him in Som.) he became a Pro∣testant. He was not a little proud, that that King was pleased to Stile him the Learned Salkeld. See his true Character in the Book he wrote of Angels. He dyed 1638.

Gerard Langbain D. D. born at Kirk-Banton, bred first Fellow, then Provost of Queens Coll. in Oxf. A Skilful Antiquary and ingenious in his Writings. In his Works concerning the Dissent of the Gallican Churches from the Council of Trent, he makes it ap∣pear that the History of that Council is not so com∣pleat as is generally believed. He dyed young An. 1657.
