Incorporations.
Apr. 29. Thom. Wharton eldest Son of Philip Lord Wharton was incorporated M. of Arts. as he had stood at Cambridge.—He was Father to Philip Lord Wharton, who openly appeared in armes a∣gainst K. Ch. 1. an. 1642. And many years after he was made one of the Privy Council to K. Will. 3.
May 4. Josias Bird Bach. of Arts of Cambridge—He was now of Alls. Coll. under the inspection of his kinsman or uncle Dr. Will. Bird.
Jun. 12. Hipocrates D'othon or Othen Doct. of Phys. of the Univ. of Montpellier—He died 13. Nov. 1611 and was buried in the Church of St. Clements Danes without Temple Barr, within the li∣berty of Westm.
Jul. 11. Will. Gonge M. A. of Cambridge—He was a Native of Stratford bow in Middlesex, was educated in Kings Coll. of which he was Fellow, afterwards he was Doct. of Div. and the pious and learned Preacher of the Church in the Blackfriers in London, where in his time he was accounted the Father of the London Ministers, that is, of such, who were put in by the Authority of the rebellious Parliament in 1641, 42. &c. He was one of the Assembly of Di∣vines, was a good Text-man, as his Whole armour of God, Exposition † of the Hebrews, Exposition of the Lords Prayer, and other learn∣ed works (the titles of some of which you may see in Oxf. Cat.) shew. He is often honorably mention'd by Voetius, Streso and other outlandish Divines; and was always accounted by the Puritan emi∣nent for his humility, patience, and faith: He died 12. of Dec. 1653 and was buried in the said Church of the Black-fryers on the 16 of the said month, aged 79 or thereabouts.
John Richardson M. A. of the same University was incorporated the same day—One Joh. Richardson was educated in Eman▪ Coll. was afterwards D. D. Master first of Peter house, then of Trin. Coll. in Cambridge, and Vicechancellour of that University. This Per∣son, who had a hand in the translation of the Bible, appointed by King Jam. 1. died about the beginning of 1625 and was buried in Trin. Coll. Chappel. Another John Richardson, who was D. D. succeeded Dr. Walt. Balcanquall in the Deanery of Rochester, and died in Apr. 1636, and a third John Richardson I find, who, from being D. of D. of Dublin, was made Bishop of Ardagh in Ireland: Which Bishoprick he being forced to leave upon the rebellion that broke out in that Kingdom, an. 1641, retired to London, where he died in 1654. Whether any of these three, were the same with John Richardson the incorporated Master of Arts, I cannot now justly tell.
Jul. 11. Abrah. Dickonson D. D. of Cambr. was also then incor∣porated in that faculty.
