Dun∣stans in the East, and of Sheinfield or Shemfield in Essex. He was in his time a very eminent and frequent Preacher and learned Di∣vine, but blind by age and continual labour several years before his death: Notwithstanding which, he suffered much in the time of the rebellion, and was outed of St. Dunstans by the restless Presby∣terian, and whether he kept Sheinfield to his last I cannot tell. He died very aged in 1645 (being then 66 years since his first coming to St. Johns Coll.) and was buried either in the Chancel of St. Dun∣stan, or in that of Sheinfield, beforemention'd.

Ap••. 1654 aged 76, and was buried in the Church of St. Giles in the fields near to London. He was much admired by Tho. Coryat the traveller; in the dishing out of whose Odcombian ban∣quet, he had a considerable hand, an. 1611. being numbred among the Poets of that age.
Jul. 12. Will. Knight M. A. of the same University—I take him to be the same with 〈◊〉〈◊〉. Knight of Ar••ington in Sussex a Di∣vine, who wrot A concordance Axiomatical; containing a survey of Theological propositions with their reasons and uses in holy Scripture. Lond. 1610. fol. and the same perhaps who published, Mundus alter & idem, sive terra australis, &c. written by Joseph Hall, who was afterwards Bishop of Norwych.
Francis Dee M. A. and Fellow of St. Johns Coll. in Cambr. was incorporated the same day—He was the Son of David Dee of Shropshire, (who is said to be Rector of Great St. Bartholomews Church in London) and he the great Grandson of the Great Bede Dee, of an antient Family in those parts. Afterwards he took the Degree of D. of D. being then Minister of Allhallows in Lumbard∣street in London, was Chancellour of the Church of Salisbury, and
in 1630 was made Dean of Chichester. In 1634 Apr. 9. he was elected Bishop of Peterborough, and on the 28. May following he was installed by proxy, being then esteemed a Person of a pious life and conversation, and of very affable behavior. He died (after he had been twice married) on the eighth day of Octob. 1638, and was buried at the upper end of the choire belonging to the Cathedral Church at Peterborough, near to the Episcopal seat. A little before his death, he gave to the Master and Seniors of St. Johns Coll. be∣foremention'd, the impropriat Parsonage of Pagham in Sussex, (held by lease of the Cathedral Church of Canterbury) for the maintain∣ing of two Fellows and two Scholars therein for ever, the Scholars to be elected out of Peterborough School.
John Pocklington M. A. and Fellow of Pembr. hall in Cambr. was also then (Jul. 12.) incorporated—He was afterwards D. of D. Rector of Yeldon alias Yevelden in Bedfordshire, Vicar of Waresley in Huntingdonshire, Prebendary of Peterborough, and in 1639 Ca∣non of Windsore in the place of Tho. Sheafe deceased, being also about that time Chaplain to His Maj. Ch. 1. This is the Person who among other books, published Altare Christianum, &c. Lond. 1636. and Sunday no Sabbath, &c. Lond. 1637. Which last, being no other than a Sermon preached at Ampthill in Bedfordshire at the B. of Lincolns Visitation, 17. Aug. 1635, was much brought up by, and taken into the hands of, young Students, who usually read it at their common fires, and according to their dispositions it was liked or disliked. But both being in an high manner disgusted by the Puritans, they, who had the chief sway in the long Parliament that began 3. Nov. 1640, ordered them both on the tenth of March following to be publickly burnt by the common executioner in both the Universities, and in the City of London. About that time they deprived the Author of all his spiritualities beforemention'd, and would have proceeded father as to other punishment, but he being in a manner heart-broken, prevented their fury by death, which hapned (at Peterborough I think) in the Winter time 1642.
Josephus Barbatus a Native of Memphis in Aegypt was conversant about this time with the Oxonian Muses. He could speak French and Ital. very readily, but most of all the Arabian tongue, which was natural to him, and therefore recommended by the Archb. of Canterbury to the Vicechanc. to read a lecture of it to the Acade∣mians. He hath written one or more things in that language, which were acceptable to the learners of it.
