H. Hammond, D. D. born at Chertsey, was Fellow of Magdalen-Colledge in Oxford, till preferred Canon of Christs Church, and Orator of the University. He may be called an Angelical Doctor, for his Countenance, Sanctity, Meekness, Charity, (this demonstrated by his keeping many a poor Royalist from famishing, be∣stowing yearly (as was believed) 200 pounds for their relief,) and his Knowledge, being general in Antiqui∣ty, Controversie, &c. His excellent Controversial Treatises, Comments, and Practical Catechism, do a∣bundantly declare the accomplishments of his Mind, and the stability of his great Soul. He dyed of the Stone, at West wood in Worcestershire. By his Will he impowred Dr. Humphrey Henchman (since Bishop of Sarum) his sole Executor, to expend, according to his discretion, in relief of poor people, not exceeding 200 pounds.
