Creations.
Mar. 30. Will. Hakewill of Lincolns Inn Esq; sometimes a Stu∣dent in Ex••ter Coll. was then actually created M. of A. being the very next day after his Kinsman Sir Tho. Bodley was buried.—I shall make large mention of this Hakewell in the second Vol. of this Work, or elsewhere.
It was then granted by the ven. Convocation, that Will. Camden Clarenceaux King of Arms, who had served as an Herald at the burial of the said Sir Tho. Bodley, might be created M. of A. but for what reason he was not, unless his refusal, as I have elsewhere told you, I cannot tell.
Laurence Bodley M. of A. Canon residentiary of the Cath. Ch. of Exeter, and chief Mourner at his Brothers (Sir Tho. Bodley) Funeral, was actually created D. of D. the same day, as a member of Ch. Church.
July 1. John Walter sometimes of Brasn. Coll. now of the Inner Temple, and Counsellour for the University of Oxon, was created M. of A.—He was afterwards Attorney to Prince Charles, Serje∣ant at Law, a Knight and chief Baron of the Exchequer. He died 18 Nov. 1630, aged 67, and was buried in a little Vault under a north Isle (which he before had built) joyning to the Church of Wolvercote near Oxon, where at this day is a splendid monument over his grave for him and his two Wives. David Walter Esq; one of the Grooms of the Bedchamber to K. Ch. 2. and Lientenant General of the Ordinance, was his second Son; who dying at London 22 Apr. 1679, was buried in the same Vault with his Fa∣ther on the 30 of the same month.
Aug. 7. It was then granted by the ven. Convocation, that Sir Tho. Flemmyng Lord Chief Justice of England, might be created M. of A. but whether it was effected, it appears not.
Feb. 21. Sir Joh. Doderidge Knight, one of the Justices of the Kings Bench, was created M. of A. in Serjeants Inn in London.
A young man named Jacob Aretius, who stiles himself Germano-Britannus, studied now in Oxon, and published (1) Primula veris: seu Panegerica ad excellentiss. Principem Palatinum. This he calls Eidyllium. (2) In augustiss. gloriosiss. Regis Jacobi inaugurationem carmen seculare, &c. written in Greek, Lat. Dutch, Ital. and Engl. (3) In nuptias illustriss. principis Frederici & Elizabethae, Maletemata. Which three things were printed at Lond. 1613. qu. He hath also Lat. Verses extant on the death of Prince Henry, and perhaps other things.
This year also studied in the University Rob. Spotswood and Rob. Murrey Scots. Of the first I shall speak at large elsewhere, as also of the other, if he be the same with Sir Rob. Murrey who was afterwards President of the Royal Society.
The most learned also Isaac Casaubon was entred a Student in Bodlies Library as a Member of Ch. Ch. in the month of May this year, but died soon after to the great loss of learning. He was a great Linguist, a singular Grecian, and an exact Philo∣loger.
