Anglorum speculum, or, The worthies of England in church and state alphabetically digested into the several shires and counties therein contained : wherein are illustrated the lives and characters of the most eminent persons since the conquest to this present age : also an account of the commodities and trade of each respective county and the most flourishing cities and towns therein.

Cambridgeshire.

CAmbridgeshire hath Lincolnshire on the North, and Suffolk on the East, Essex and Hartfordshire on the South, Huntington and Redfordshire on the West, in length 35, in breadth not full 20 Miles. Plenti∣ful in Provision, the South part of Bread and Beer, and the North of Cattle. The Grain here is so good that it outselleth others in 6 pence in the Bushel. The late draining of the North part of the County was not very grateful to the poor, knowing that it is Felony to take another Mans Bullock from his Pa∣sture, but a Trespass of an inferiour Nature to take a Pike out of his Fish-pond. An. 1659. the Coun∣try suffered a great loss by an Inundation, upon the dissolution of a great Snow, yet their Industry pre∣vented a Relapse into their former Condition. The Northern-part is called the Isle of Ely or Eely from the abundance and goodness of Eeles there, with which the Courts of the Kings of England were An∣ciently supplyed. Of other Natural Commodities, there are a great many Hares, and lately there was a Hare-park nigh New-Market preserved for the Kings Game. There is also plenty of Saffron which was at first planted in Essex. Willows abound in the

Isle of Ely, affording Fuel for their Fire; of which Tree it is a by-word in this County, that the profit of Willows will buy the Owner a Horse before that by other Trees he can pay for his Saddle. Manufactures here are Paper and Baskets. Of Buildings Cambridge is the chief credit of this County, as the University is of Cambridge, which may be said a Town in an Uni∣versity, as Oxford is an University in a Town, in Camb. the Colledges being more separated from the Town have the better Conveniency of Walks and Gardens. Ely-Minster in this Town a great Beau∣ty, has a Lanthorn which is a Master-piece of Archi∣tecture, wherein the labour of 20 years and 52094 Pounds 18 Shillings 10 Pence 1/2 2/4 was expended. When the Bells ring the Wood-work thereof open∣eth (the perfection of structure) and exactly chock∣eth into the Joynts again. Rare also is the Art in the Chappel of St. Maries, the Pattern of that in Kings Coll. in Camb. And in Bishop Wests Chappel the Master-Masons of King Ja. upon narrow inspe∣ction, found finer work therein than in King Hen. 7 his Chappel at Westminster.

Wonders.

The Devils-ditch an Artificial Wonder, conceited by the Country People to be made by the Devil, tho it be the Work of some of the Kings of the East-Angles, probably made to divide and defend their Dominions from the Kingdom of Mercia, or possibly to employ the People, and to divert them from insurrections.

Proverbs.

I Cambridge requires all to be equal. The same de∣gree

levelling all Scholars, so that the Seniority of years ought not to make any difference. II. Cam∣bridgeshire Camels. Probably the Fen-men stalking on Stilts may be so called from their apparent big Sta∣ture. III. A Boisten Horse and a Cambridge Master of Art, are a couple of Creatures that will give way to no¦body. It shews store of Spirit when a Man will not be put out of his way, for every Swelling emptiness that meets him therein. IV. A Henry-Sophister. So they are called who after 4 years standing, stay themselves from Commencing Bachelors of Art, to render themselves (in some Colledges) more capa∣ble of Preferment. For after the Suppression of Monasteries by King Hen. 8. Learning was at a lost, and the University stood at a gaze what would be∣come of her. Hereupon many Students stayed themselves some 2, 3, some 4 years, as who would see, how their Degrees (before they took them) should be rewarded and maintained.

Martyrs.

Will. Flower, born at Snow-hill, bred first a Monk in Ely, became afterwards a Secular Priest and Prote∣stant, and after many Removals, fixed at last at Lambeth. He then contracted the Guilt of an abo∣minable Act, by wounding a Popish Priest dangerous∣ly with a Wood-knife, so that his Blood spirted in∣to the Chalice. Of this having solemnly repented he was put to Death for the Testimony of the Truth. His right hand, before he went to the Stake, was cut off, by order of the Judges for his Barbarous fact. Yet tho his right hand suffered as a Malefactor, there wanted not those who maintained that Martyr be∣longs to the rest of his Body.

Prelates.

Steph. de Fulborn was made Bishop of Waterford, and Lord Treasurer of Ireland; and after, Arch-bishop of Tuam, and (twice) Lord Chief Justice of that Kingdom. He dyed 1288. and was buried in Trini∣ty-Church in Dublin.

Nich. of Ely, obtruded by the bold Barons as Chan∣cellour on H. 3. but by him displaced, yet appear∣ing a Man of Merit was by him advanced into the Office of Lord Treasurer, and made Bishop of Wor∣cester, then of Winchester. Here he sate 12 years, and that Cathedral may challenge his Interment, having his Heart inclosed in a Wall, tho his Body be buri∣ed at Bcaverly in Surry, 1280.

Will. of Bottlesham (Contract Botsam) of the Town so called, the Nursery of refined, Wits afford∣ing a Triumvirate of Learned Men born there, viz. this Will. Jo. and Nich. Bottlesham. Will. was by the Pope made Bishop of Bethlehem in Syria, then 1385 of Landaff, thence removed to Rochester. A famous Preacher, Confessor to R. 2. and a learned Wri∣ter. Once a Fellow of Pemb. hall, he dyed 1399. Jo. bred in Peter-house in Camb. to which (and to the whole University) he was Benefactor, Chap∣lain to Th. Arundel Arch-bishop of Cant. by whose means he had been preferred to the See of Rochester, if Johns Death had not prevented the same 1401. Nicholas, a Carmelite bred in Camb. afterward re∣moved to Paris, where in Sorbon he commenced Dr. of Divinity. Returning to Camb. he became Prior of the Carmelties (since Queen Colledge) whereby he wrote many Books. Buried in his own Covent 1435. These three were Contemporaries.

Th. of New-Market, (or Th. Merks) of this Coun∣ty,

bred in Camb. An Excellent Humanist and Di∣vine (having left some learned Books to Posterity) advanced to be Bishop of Carlile. Famous for his Loyalty to R. 2. was at last confined to a Titular Grecian Bishoprick by H. 4. He dyed about 1405.

Th. Thirlby Doctor of Laws, born in the Town and bred in the University of Camb. Very able in his Faculty and more than once employed in Em∣bassies by H. 8. (who preferred him Bishop of Win∣chester, the Land of which See he wasted) with this success, that his Name and Alliance is Extinct. From Winchester he was removed to Norwich, from thence to Ely. His Vice was rather Prodigality than Cru∣elty, for he wept at Arch-bishop Cranmer's Degra∣dation. After the Death of Queen Ma. he was as Violent in his Opinions, but not so Violent in his Expressions; always devoted to Queen Ma. but ne∣ver invective against Queen Eliz. He lived in free Custody, dyed and is buried at Lambeth, 1570.

Since the Reformation.

Godfrey Goldsborough born in Camb. bred in Trinity-Coll. and afterwards Fellow thereof. At last was Consecrated Bishop of Gloucester 1598. One of the second set of Prot. Bishops, after those in the Mari∣an Days, and before those who come within our memory. He gave 100 Marks to Trinity-Coll. and dyed An. 1604.

Rob. Townson, D. D. born in Camb. and bred a Fellow in Queens Coll. being admitted at 12 years of Age. Of so happy a memory that when D. D. he could say by Heart the second Book of the Aeneads, which he learnt at School, without missing a Verse. He was an excellent Preacher. He attended King Ja. his Chaplain into Scotland, and after his return,

was preferred Dean of Westminster, then Bishop of Salisbury. He was Hospital and Generous. He dy∣ed and was buried An. Dom. 1622.

Th. (Son to Will.) Westfield, D. D. born An. Dom. 1573. in Ely, bred at •…•…es. Coll. in Camb. where he was Fellow. He was Assistant to Bishop Felton, whilst Minister of St. Mary-le-Bow in Cheapside, af∣ter Rector of Horsney and great St. Barth. Lond. where in his Preaching he went through the 4 Evan∣gelists. He was afterward made Arch-Deacoh of St. Albans, and at last Bishop of Bristol. The Parl. had a good Opinion of him, as appears by this Order, 13. May 1643. From the Committee of Lords and Com. for Sequestration of Delinquents Estates. Up∣on information in the behalf of the B. of Bristol, That his Tenants refuse to puy him his Rents, it is ordered by this Committee, that all profits of his Bishoprick be re∣stored, and a safe Conduct be granted him, to pass with his Family to Bristol, being himself of great Age and a Person of great Learning and Merit. Jo. Wylde.

By his Will he desired to be buried in the Cathe∣dral-Church, near the Tomb of Paul Bush the first Bishop. And as for my Worldly Goods (the words of his Will) which (as the times now are) I know not well where they be, nor what they are, I give, &c. to my Wife Eliz. He dyed June. 28. 1644. and lyeth bu∣ried according to his own desire. An Anagram made on him by his Daughter was.

Thomas Westfield. I dwell the most safe.

Statesmen.

Jo. Tiptoft, Son and Heir of Jo. Lord Tiptoft, and Joyce his Wife, Daughter and Coheir of Edw. Charlton Lord Powis, by his Wife Eleanor, Sister and Coheir of Edmund Holland Earl of Kent) was born at Ever∣ton

in this County. He was bred at Baliol-Coll. in Oxf. where he attained to great Learning, and by H. 6. was afterwards created first Viscount, then Earl of Worcester, and Lord High Constable of England, and by E. 4. Knight of the Garter. The Skies began to Lowre and Threaten Civil Wars and the House of York fell sick of a Relapse. Mean time this Earl could not be discourteous to Hen. 6. who had so much ad∣vanced him, nor disloyal to Edw. 4. in whom the Right of the Crown lay. For an Expedient he quit∣ted his own, and visited the Holy-Land. At Rome (in his passage,) by an Elegant Latin Speech he drew the Admiration of all the Auditors, and Teart from the Eyes of the Pope Pius II. He returned from Christs-Sepulchre, to his own in England, in as unhappy time, if sooner or ••••ter, he had found Ed∣ward on that Throne to which now H. 6. was re∣stored, and whose Restitution was only remarkable for the Death of this Worthy Lord. Treason was charged on him for secretly siding with King Edw. On this account he lost his life. The Ax then did at one blow cut off more Learning in England then was left in the Heads of all the Surviving Nobility. His Death hap'ned on St. Lukes day, 1470. Edw. Lord, Tiptoft his Son was restored (by Edw. 4.) Earl of Worcester, but dying without Issue, his Inheritance fell to his three Aunts, Sisters to the Learned Lord aforesaid, viz. 1. Philip married to Th. Lord Ross of Hamlake. 2. Joan, Wife of Sir Edm. Inglesthrop of Borough green in this County. 3. Joyce married to Sir Edw. Sutton, Son and Heir of John Lord Dud∣ley, from whom came Edw. Sutton Lord Dudley and Knight of the Garter.

Jo. Cheeke, Knight, Tutor to Ed. 6. and Secretary of State, born in Camb. Of him see our Church-Hi∣story.

Souldiers.

When the rest of the East-Angles cowardly fled away in the Field from the Danish Ar∣my, the Men of the County of Camb. did manfully resist; whence it was, that whilst the English did rule, the praise of the People of Cambridgeshire did most eminently flou∣rish. At the coming of the Normans, they made so stout a Resistance, that the Conqueror who did fly into England, was glad to creep into Ely. Cambridgeshire∣men commonly passed for a Proverb, tho now like old Coyn, almost grown out of request. Indeed the Common-people have Robust bodies able to carry 8 Bushels of Barley on their Backs, whereas 4 are found a sufficient Load for Men of other Counties, and I doubt not but if there were occasion their Arms and Hands would appear to be as good as their Backs and Shoulders.

Writers.

Math. Paris, probably born in this, and bred in the next County, where the Name is right Ancient, long before they were setled at Hildersham, which accrued to them by their Marriage with the Daughter and Heir of the Buslers. He was a Monk at St. Albans, skilled in Poetry, Oratory and Divinity, as also in Paint∣ing, Graving, &c. But his Genius chiefly disposed him to the Writing of Histories, wherein he wrote a large Chronicle from the Conquest unto the year of our Lord 1250. where he concludes with this Distich:

Sistetui metas studii, Matthaee, quietas, Nec ventura petas, quae postera proferat atas. Matthew here cease thy Pen in peace, and study on no more, Nor do thou aim at things to come, which next Age hath in store.

Yet resuming the Work he continued it to 1259. A catching disease with Authors (my self being con∣cerned) to obey the importunity of others, con∣trary to their own inclination. His History is im∣partially and judiciously (save whereby he indulgeth too much Monkish Miracles) and no Writer so plainly discovereth the Pride, Avarice and Rapine of the Court of Rome, so that he seldom kisseth the Popes toe without Biting it. The Papists insinuate a suspicion that such Reflections are forged, but all the Candour imaginable has been used in the Editi∣ons of that Author, first by Math. Parker and then (and especially) by Doctor Will. Wats. This Mat∣thew left off living and writing, An. 1259. Tho he had sharp Nailes, he had clean Hands, strict in his own and striking at the loose Conversation of others, and for his Eminent Austerity was not only employ∣ed by Pope Innocent 4. to visit the Monks in the Diocess of Norwich, but also was sent unto Nor∣way to reform the Discipline in Holui a fair Co∣vent.

Helias Rubeus (in Engl. Rous or Red,) bred D. D. in Camb. A great Courtier and Gracious with the King, Wrote a Book contra Nobilitatem inanem. Tis thought he flourished about the year 1266.

Jo. Eversden, was bred a Monk in Bury-Abby, whereof he was Cellerer or Caterer, but his moun∣ting

above this mean Employ, he buried himself in Poetry, Law and History, whereof he wrote a fair Volume from the beginning of the World. Being a Monk he was not fond of Fryars. And observeth, that when the Franciscans first entred Bury, An. 1336. there hap'ned a hideous Hericano, levelling Trees, Towers, &c. Yet went they out with a Calm, at the time of the Dissolution. This John flourish∣ed under King E. 3. and dyed about the year 1338.

Rich. Wetherset commonly called of Cambridge, where he was Chancellour. A great Scholar and deep Divine, it being said, That he conformed his Di∣vinity to Scripture, and not to the Rules of Philosophy. He flourished under E. 3. An. 1350.

Will. Caxton of Caxton, a diligent and learned Man, bred beyond the Seas, and lived 30 years in the Court of Marg. Dutchess of Burgundy, Sister to King E. 4. whence I conclude an Anti-Lancastrian. He continued Polychronicon unto the end of that King, with good judgment and fidelity. He Col∣lected and Printed all Chaucer's Works, and on ma∣ny Accounts deserved well of Posterity, and dyed about 1488.

Since the Reformation.

Rich. Huloet, born at Wishich and brought up in good learning. He dedicated to Th. Goowrich a Book called The English and Latine A. B. C. a Book which (probably) related to the Elemental Grounds of Religion. He flourished An. Dom. 1552.

Jo Richardson, born of Honest Parents at Linton, bred first Fell. of Emanuel, then Master of St. Peters, and at last of Trinity-Coll. in Camb. where he was Regius Professor. No dull Man as some supposed. For at an Extraordinary Act of Divinity at Camb. before

King Ja. strongly alledged in opposition to Doctor Davenant then Answerer, vigorously pressed the pra∣ctice of St. Ambrose Excommunicating of Theodos•••• the Emperor, insomuch that the King, in some Pa∣ssion returned, profectò fuit hoc ab Ambrosio insolentis∣simè factum. To whom Doctor Richardson rejoyned, Responsum verè Regium & Alexandro dignum, hoc •••••• est Argumenta dissolvere sed dissecare. And so sitting down he desisted from dispute. He was employed one of the Translators of the Bible, being a most excellent Linguist. He dyed An. 1621.

Andr. Willet, D. D. born at Ely, bred Fellow of Christs-Coll. in Camb. succeeded his Father in the Parsonage of Barley in Hartfordshire, and became Prebendary of Ely, Bountiful above his Nobility, notwithstanding his numerous Issue. Admirable his Industry in his Synopsis, Comments, &c. His Death hast'ned by a fall (by which his Neck was broken) hap∣ned 1621.

Sir Th. Ridley, Knight, Doctor of the Laws, born at Ely, bred at Eaton, was Fellow of Kings-Coll, in Camb. A general Scholar. He was afterwards Chan∣cellour of Winchester and Vicar General to the Arch-bishop of Cant. His Book called the view of Eccle∣siastical Laws has embalm'd his Memory to Posterity. He dyed Jan. 22. 1629.

Arth. Hildersham, born at Strechworth, descended by his Mothers-side from the Blood-Royal, being great-great-Grand-child to Geo. Duke Clarence, Bro∣ther to E. 4. Yet being bred in Christs-Coll. he entred into the Ministry. He dyed An. Dom. 163. Vid. Eccl. Hist.

R. Parker born in Ely, (Son to Mr. Parker Arch-Deacon there, who refused the Bishoprick) was bred in and became Fellow of Caius-Coll. an excel∣lent Herauld, Historian and Antiquary, Author of

the Manuscript called Scletos Cantabrigiensis, which is •…•…eshed with much Matter, and hath furnished me with the Nativities of several Bishops who were Masters of Colledges. Which Book I heartily wish Printed for the good of Posterity, I disclaim Pol. Virgils who burnt rare English Manuscripts of Histo∣•…•…y, after he had served his own turn with them.

Mich. Dalton, Esquire, bred in the Study of the Municipal-Law in Lincolns-Inn. His Gravity graced the Benches of Justice in this County, where his Judge∣ment deservedly passed for an Oracle in the Law, having enriched the World with two excellent Trea∣tises called the Office of Sheriffs, and the Justices of Peace. Here note that King Ja. first made such Ju∣stices in Scotland. He dyed before the Civil Wars in England.

Th. Goad, D. D. Son to Rog. Goad (for above 40 years Provost in Kings-Coll.) bred a Fellow under his Father, then Chaplain to Arch-bishop Abbot; Rector of Hadley in Suff. Prebendary of Cant. A great and General Scholar, exact Critick, Historian, Poet, Schoolman and Divine. Of a commanding presence, an uncontroulable spirit, impatient of oppo∣sition; loving to steer the Discourse (being a good Pilot to that purpose) of all the Company he came in. He dyed about 1635.

Andr. Marvail born at Mildred, and bred Master of Arts in Trinity Coll. in Camb. was afterwards Mi∣nister of Hull, Facetious in discourse, Grave in his Car∣riage, an excellent Preacher, using all due Study before-hand; he was wont to say, he would cross the Proverb which called Saturday the working-day and Monday the holy-day of Preachers. He was drown'd in Humber 1640. His Excellent Comment on St. Peter is desired.

Benefactors to the Publick.

Hugo de Balsham, Founder of Peter-house in Camb. (the first built Colledge in England) and finished it 1284. and bestowed much Land upon it. He sat 28 years in the Bishoprick of Ely, and dyed the 6 of June, 1286.

Sir Will. Horn, Salter, Son to Th. born at Snail∣well, Knighted by King Hen. 7. 1487. was Lord Mayor of London. He gave bountifully to the Preach∣ers of St. Pauls-cross, and bestowed 500 Marks to the mending of the High-ways between Camb. and London.

Sir Will. (Son to Jo.) Purcase, born at Gamlingay, bred Mercer in London, and Lord Mayor thereof 1497. caused Morefieds under the Walls to be made plain ground, to the great pleasure, since to the great profit of the City.

Sir Th. (Son of Jo.) Knesworth, a Fishmonger in London (whereof he was Lord Mayor) 1505. ap∣pointed the Water-Conduit at Bishop-gate to be built. Note Cambridgeshire, in the compass of 18. years, affordeth 3 Lord Mayors and Benefactors which no other Shire ever produced.

Since the Reformation.

Jo. Creane, born at Wisbeech, bred an Apothecary in Camb. very diligent in his Youth. He lived and dyed in Doctor Butler's Family, to whom he left the main Body of his Estate. Having a large heart he annually very Nobly treated all the Oxford-men at the Commencement. At his Death he gave 3000 Pounds to Charitable uses, bestowing the house he lived in, after his Wifes death on the publick Pro∣fessor

of Physick. To Wisbeech he gave 100 pound build a Town-hall, besides what he gave to Cam∣••••idge, Lin, Ipswich. He left 100 pound to be lent •…•…atis to an honest man, the better to enable him to •…•…y good Fish and Fowl to the University. He be∣•…•…eathed to Doctor Wren B. of Ely and Doctor •…•…ownrigg B. of Exeter, 100 pounds a piece by his Will, and as much by the Codicil annexed thereun∣••••. Besides his concealed Charities, his hands were ••••ways open to all the destressed Royalists. He dyed May, 1650.

Memorable Persons.

Will. Collet born at Over, bred a Clerk in London, was made Keeper of the Records in the Tower, of •…•…nparalelled Dexterity in that Office; he abominated •…•…heir Course, who by a Water would refresh a Re∣•…•…ord to make it useful for the present and useless •…•…ver after, nor would he practise with a Pen on •…•…ny old Writing, under pretence of mending it. He may be called Caterer to Selden and other Antiquaries. He dyed 1644.

Edward Norgate (Son to Rob. D. D. of Bennet-Coll. and bred by Nich., Felton B. of Ely, his Father in Law) was a Limner, the best of our Age, em∣ployed into Italy to purchase Pictures for E. of A∣rundel. Returning by Marseilles, and his money fail∣•…•…ng him, he used to walk a long time with a swift pace on the Exchange there every Morning and Evening. A civil Monsieur observing him told him, That if Will. would convert his Reciprocal into a Progressive Motion di∣rected to his own Country, he would provide him a light Habit and competent Money for a Footman. To which Proposal consenting he footed it through France, (being more than 500 English Miles) and returned

safely into England. Where he was generally employ∣ed to make the Initial Letters in the Patents •••• Peers, &c. He was an Excellent Herauld by the Title of and which was the Crown of all very Honest Man. Exemplary his Patience in Sick∣ness, tho a Complication of Diseases seized on hi•…•… He dyed at the Herauld Office. 1649.

Noted Sheriffs.

Th. Eliot, Mil. born some say in Su••••▪ had his Habitation in this County, be∣ing well skilled in Greek and Latine, he was the Author (among other excellent Books) of Defens••••∣um Bonarum Mulierum, or the defence of good Wo∣men, an excellent Latine and English Dictionary, the Stock on which B.

I behold his Family as Branched from the Huddlestons in Cumb.

Jo. Cuts. Mil. A most Bountiful House-Keeper, to whose House Queen Eliz. (whilst there was Peace with Spain) consigned the Spanish Ambassador in the Sickness at London.
