Chanc. the same. viz. Thomas Earl of Dorset; but he dying the 19 Apr. Dr. Rich. Bancroft Archb. of Canterbury succeeded in the Chancellourship on the 22 of the same month.—He was born at Farnworth in Lancashire in Sept. 1544, Son of Joh. Bancroft Gent. by Mary his Wife, Daughter of Joh. Curwyn, Brother to Dr. Hugh Curwyn Archb. of Dublin; and after he had been severely trained up in Grammatical Learning, he was first placed in Christs, and soon after removed to Jesus, Coll. in Cambridge. Afterwards by the endeavours of his said Uncle Dr. Curwyn, he became, when young, Prebendary of the Cath. Ch. at Dublin; but the Uncle re∣moving, and dying soon after, he was made Chaplain to Dr. Cox Bishop of Ely, who gave him the Rectory of Teversham in the Country of Cambridge. Being thus put into the road of preferment, he was admitted Bach. of Div. 1580, and five years after Doctor. About which time he put himself into the Service of Sir Christoph. Hatton Lord Chancellour of England, by whose recommendations he was made Prebendary of Westminster, in the place of Mr. Joh. Wickham, an. 1592, from whence he had the easier passage to S.

(having before spent some years in foreign Academies in the study of Phys.) and as a Member of that Coll. he was admitted to practice his Faculty, 13 July 1604. After he had been admitted Doctor, he retired to London, became one of the Coll. of Physitians, and eminent for his practice. One Will. Turner Doct. of Phys. wrot a Pamphlet entit. Ad nobilem Britan∣num, or an abstract of Englands Royal Peers. When written I can∣not tell; sure I am, 'twas printed at London in 1641. qu. Whe∣ther this Will. Turner be the same with the former of Ball. Coll. I cannot justly say, nor whether he was one of the Sons of Dr. Pet. Turner mention'd among the Incorporations, an. 1599. yet that he was descended from William, Father of the said Dr. Peter Turner, 'tis not to be doubted.

Incorporations.

May 30. Rich. Butler Bach. of Div. of Cambr.—He was former∣ly of S. Joh. Coll. in Oxon, and now Chaplain in Ordinary to his Majesty, which is all I yet know of him.

Jun. 14. Christop. Musgrave Bach. of Arts of Cambr.—One of both his names was about this time a Carthusian at Leige in Ger∣many, and afterwards wrot Motives and reasons for his secession and dissevering from the Church of Rome. Lond. 1621. qu. But this last I cannot affirm to be the same with him who was Bach. of Arts, because he saith, that before he seceeded from the Church of Rome he had been a Carthusian Monk for the space of twenty years.

David Owen M. of A. of Clare Hall in the same University, was incorporated the same day.—He was afterwards Bach. of Div. and Chaplain to John Ramsey Lord Viscount Hadington, afterwards D. of D. and Chaplain to the said person when he was Earl of Holderness. He hath written and published (1)The concord of a Pa∣pist and Puritan for the coercion, deposition, and killing of Kings. Cambr. 1610. qu.

What other things he hath published I know not, nor any thing else of him, only that he was born in the Isle of An∣glesey.

July 8. Will. Eire (Eierus) Doct. of Phys of Leyden.

Will. Cavendish M. of A. of Cambr. Son and Heir of Will. Lord Cavendish, was incorporated the same day, in the house of Convo∣cation. —He was afterwards the second Earl of Devonshire of his name.

12. Walt. Curle M. A. of Cambr. was incorporated again.—See among the Incorporations an. 1601, and in 1636.

Eliazer Hodson M. A. of the same University, was incorporated the same day.—See among the Incorporations 1615.

Joh. Williams M. A. of Cambr. was also then incorporated.— This noted person, who was the Son of Edmund Williams of Con∣way, commonly called Aberconway, in Caernarvanshire (by his Wife Mary Daughter of Owen Wynn of Eglarsnache) the sixth Son of William Williams of Cogh-Williams, was educated in S. Joh. Coll. in the said University, of which he was Fellow. Afterwards he became Chaplain to Thomas Lord Egerton Lord Chanc. of England, and in 1611-12, one of the Proctors of the University of Cam∣bridge, in which Office he gave so noble and generous Entertain∣ment as well in scholastical Exercises as in edibles and potables, to the Spanish Embassadors, conducted thither by his Patron the Lord Chancellour, that when they took their leaves of him, the Chancellour, with the approbation of the Embassador, told him that he had behaved himself so well in his Entertainment, that he was fit to se••ve a King and that he would be glad to see him as welcome at the Court, as they were in the Vniversity. About that time he had several Benefices confer'd upon him, of which the Rectory of Waldgrave in Northamptonshire was one, Dinam and Grafton two more, a Residentiaryship in the Church of Lincoln, one or more Prebendships therein, and the Office of Chauntor; besides a Prebendship in the Church of Peterborough, and a Donative in Wales. Afterwards he was made sacerdotal Rector of the Savoy, Chaplain in ordinary to his Majesty, and on Sept. 10, an. 1619. Dean of Salisbury in the place of Dr. Joh. Gourdon deceased: Whereupon giving up the Savoy, upon his Majesties desire, it was by him confer'd on* 1.1 M. Ant. de Dominis Archbishop of Spalato; and at the same time 'twas ordered that an yearly pension should be by him (Williams) paid to the famous Pet. du Moulin a French Protestant, who a little before had fled into England upon account of Religion. About that time, he, by the favour of George Duke of Buckingham, was made a privy Counsellor to his Majesty, and

upon the promotion of Doct. Rob. Tounson to the See of Salisbury, had the Deanery of Westminster confer'd upon him, in which he was install'd 10 July 1620: Afterwards the Deanery of Salisbury was confer'd upon Dr. Joh. Bowles of Cambridge, as I shall elsewhere tell you. In the month of July 1621, he was nominated Bishop of Lincoln on the Translation of Dr. George Mountaigne to the See of London, and about the same time was made L. Keeper of the great Seal by Buckingham's Endeavours. On the 9 Oct. following he proceeded to Westminster Hall, as L. Keeper, but withouta 1.2 pomp and on the 11 of Nov. was consecrated Bishop of Lincoln in the collegiate Church of S. Peter at Westminster, by the Bishops of London, Worcester, Ely, Oxford, and Landaff; and about that time his Majesty gave him leave to keep Westminster in commendam. It was then observed by many, that as Sir Nich. Bacon had before received the Great Seal from a Clergyman, (Nich. Heath Archb. of York) so a Bishop again received them from his Son Sir Fran∣cis, at which the Lawyers did fret, to have such a Flower pull'd out of their garden. But as for the further addition to the story, that Williams was brought in by Buckingham to serve such turns as none of the Laity could be found bad enough to undertake, as a libellousb 1.3 Author reports, we must leave it to knowing men to be Judges of it. After K. Ch. 1. came to the Crown, he was con∣tinued a privy Counsellour for a time, but Buckingham being then in great favour with that Prince, caused the Seal to be taken from him in Oct. 1625, as having neglected, and been very un∣grateful to, him; and in the beginning of Feb. following, when that King was crown'd, he was set aside from administring Ser∣vice at that Ceremony, as Dean of Westminster, and Dr. Laud Bishop of S. Davids, and Preb. of Westm. (who before had received several schoolings and affronts from Williams while L. Keeper) of∣ficiated in his place. Further also, lest he should seek revenge against Buckingham for what he had done unto him, he, with the Earls of Some••set, Middlesex, and Bristow, (all of an inclina∣tion, tho not all of a plume) were interdicted the Parliament House. Hereupon Williams grew highly discontented, sided with the Puritan, and finding the King to decline in the affection of his People, he fomentedc 1.4 popular discourses tending to his Majesties dishonour, so long, until at length the incontinence of his Tongue betrayed him into Speeches, which trespass'd upon Loyalty: for which words, they having taken vent, he was que∣stion'd by a Bill in the Star-Chamber, 4 Car. 1. dom. 1628. But the information being somewhat lame and taken up with second-hand Reports, the Accusation lay dormant till about 1632, when it was revived again. And the purgation of B. Williams depending principally upon the testimony of one John Pregian Registrary of Lincoln, it hapned that the Febr. after, one Elizab. Hodson was de∣livered of a base Child, and laid it to this Pregian. The Bishop finding his great Witness charged with such Infamy, conceived it would invalidate all his Testimony, and that once rendred inva∣lid, the Bishop could easily prognosticate his own ruin. Therefore he bestirs himself amain, and tho by order of the Justices at the publick Session at Lincoln, Pregian was charged as the reputed Father, the Bishop by his Agents, Pawel and Owen, procured that Order suppressed, and by subornation and menacing of, and tam∣pering with Witnesses, did at length in May 10 Car. 1. procure the Child to be fathered upon one Bohun, and Pregian to be ac∣quitted. After this he being accriminated in the Star-Chamber for corrupting of Witnesses, and being convicted by full proof on the 11 of July 1637 he received this censure, that he was to pay ten thousand pounds fine to the King, to be imprison'd in the Tower of London during his Majesties pleasure, and to be suspended ab officiis & beneficiis. In 1640, Nov. 16. he was released from the Tower, and became the Idol for a time of both Houses, (having since his fall closed with the Puritan) and who then should be in daily conference with him but Edward Bagshaw a Parliament man for Southwark, and afterwards Will. Prynne, two zealous and bi∣gotted Puritans; whose Counsels were chiefly to pull down Laud Archbishop of Canterbury, Wentworth Earl of Strafford, Heylyn of Westminster, and other Royalists. On the 12 Jan. following, he preached before the King, and pleased the Puritan very much, as being zealous for the Sabbath, and against the Book for Sports; yet towards the conclusion said that the discipline of Geneva, and Cornaries Diet, were fit for none but Beggars and Tradesmen. After∣wards, it was observed by many, that he declined dayly in the peoples favour, who took him then not to be the same man as they did before. In 1641 he was by his Maj. favour, purposely to please the Puritan then dominant, translated from Lincoln to York, and soon after was in the head of the Bishops when they made their Protestation against the House of Lords in behalf of themselves; for which being imprison'd in the Tower again, continued there eighteen weeks. At length being with much ado released, he re∣tired to the King at Oxon, where he provided himself with a Com∣mission, and Instructions what to do when he went farther. After∣wards he went into his own Country, repaired his Castle at Aber∣conway, fortified it, and spared not any cost or labour to make it teneable for his Majesties Service. But then his Majesty and privy Council suspecting that he would not be faithful to him, they put a Commander therein, and in a manner thrust the Archb. out. Whereupon taking these matters in high disdain, he retired to his house at Pentryn or Penryn, not far from Aberconway, which he fortified; and having gained the favour of the Parliament, put a Garrison therein, and declared for them. Afterwards obtaining some Forces from one Mitton a Parliamentarian Colonel in those

Parts, went forthwith and set upon Aberconway Castle, took it and kept it to his dying day in his own possession. This was in the latter end of 1645, at which time the Kings Cause did daily de∣cline, as the Archbishop did in the minds of the Royalists, who, for these his Actions, spared not to stile him a perfidious Prelate, the shame of the Clergy, and the Apostate Archbishop of York, whereas while he was in his greatness, he was characterized to be a person of a generous mind, a lover and encourager of learning and learn∣ed men (he himself being very learned) hospitable, and a great Be∣nefactor to the publick, yet always high and proud, and some∣times insolent, and to have pharisaical Leaven in him. His works are (1) A sermon of apparel before the King and Pr. at Theobalds, 22 Feb. 1619, on Math. 11. 8. Lond. 1620. qu. (2) Serm. before the Lords, Lond 1623. qu. (3) Serm. at the funeral of K. James, on 1 Kings 11. 41, 42, 43. Lond. 1625. qu. (4) Perseverantia sancto∣rum, &c. on Job 42. 12.—pr. 1628. qu. (5) Letter to the Vicar of Grantham, &c. pr. 1636. qu. answered by Dr. Pet. Heylyn in his Coal from the Altar, &c. (6) Holy table, name, and thing, more anti∣ently used under the New Testam. than that of an Altar. pr. 1637, which is a reply to the Coal from the Altar, &c. Whereupon Heylyn came out with a rejoynder, called Antidotum Lincolniense, &c. as I shall tell you more at large when I come to him in the 2 Vol. of this Work. (7) Annotationes in vet. Testam. & in Ephesios. Cantab. 1653, oct. published under the name of Johan. Eboracensis, by which, I presume, is meant John Williams. He hath also published one or more Sermons which I have not seen, and hath also extant Par∣liamentary Speeches and Letters of State. In 1671 was printed at London in octavo, A manual: or, three small and plain Treatises, viz. 1. of Prayer, or active, 2. of Principles, or passive, 3. of Resolution, or opposite, Divinity. Translated and collected out of antient Writers for the private use of a most noble Lady, to preserve her from the danger of Popery. In the Title page 'tis said to have been written by John Archbishop of York, yet certain Authors who lived and wrot after his death, are therein quoted; which are unadvisedly done by another hand. At length this Archb. dying in the house of the Lady Mostyn at Glodedd near Aberconway, on the 25 of Mar. 1649 was buried, I presume, at Aberconway. There is extant a Latin Apology for this Dr. Williams Archb. of York, written in good Latin by Joh Harmer M. A. sometimes of Magd. Coll. in Oxon, to Lambert Osbaldeston a great Creature of the said Archb. in which are many things, that are true, inserted. But the Reader is to know, that the said Harmer, who sometimes taught in the College School at Westminster, had often participated of the generosity of Archb. Williams; and when afterwards he became Greek Professor of the Univ. of Oxford, he was esteemed a Parasite, and one that would do any thing below him to gain a little money or a meals-meat.

Jul. 12. Math. Wren M. of A. of Pembroke Hall in Cambridge, was then incorporated in the same degree.—I have spoken large∣ly of him elsewhere.

Will. Boswell M. A. of Jesus Coll. in the said University, was incorporated the same day.—He was afterwards Proctor of that University, Secretary to Sir Dudl. Carleton while ordinary Embas∣sador to the States of the Vnited Provinces, aud afterwards Re∣sident or Leiger Embassador there himself; in which capacity he was knighted by the Lord Hor. Vere of Tilbury, and other Commis∣sioners, named in his Majesty's Letters Patents, in the Army of the said States at Bockstal near Balduck in Brabant, 25 July 1633. He was a learned man, a great encourager of Learning, zealous for the Church of England, faithful in the execution of his Em∣bassy, and highly valued by eminent persons. He died much la∣mented in 1647.

Joh. Squire M. A. of Jesus Coll. in the same University, was also then incorporated—He was afterwards Vicar of S. Leonards Shoreditch in Middlesex, a zealous and orthodox Preacher, and therefore respected by Dr. Laud Archb. of Canterbury. But when the Puritan or Presbyterian brake into an open Rebellion, he was one of those many godly Ministers that suffered by Imprisonment, Sequestration, Plundering, and I know not what. He hath writ∣ten Lectures, being an Exposition of the first part of the second Chapter to the Thessalonians, proving the Pope to be Antichrist. Lond. 1630, qu. and also published several Sermons, the Titles of most of which you may see in the Bodleian or Oxford Catalogue. Pray be pleased to see more of him in that vile Pamphlet called A century of scandalous, malignant, Priests, &c. printed 1643, qu. pag. 25.

Joh Preston M. A. of Queens Coll. in Camb. was also then in∣corporated.— He was afterwards Doct. of Div. Master of Ema∣nuel Coll. in the said University, a perfect Polititian, and the Pa∣triarch of the Presbyterian Party. The Titles of most of the Ser∣mons and Treatises which he hath written and published, you may see in the said Catalogue, and the actions of his life, written and published by one that was his Pupil, named Tho. Ball of Northam∣pton, who tells you, that he died 20 Jul. 1628, and that he was buried in the Church at Fawsley in Northamptonshire.
