Jul. 9. Francis Stewart of Ch. Ch. (Knight of the Bath) one of the Sons of the Earl of Murrey, was actually created Master of Arts. —He was a learned Gentleman, was one of Sir Walt. Raleigh's Club at the Meremaid Tavern in Friday street in London, and much venerated by Ben. Johnson, who dedicated to him his Comedy called The silent Woman. He was a person also well seen in ma∣rine Affairs, was a Captain of a Ship, and, as I have been infor∣med by those who remember him, did bear the office for some time of a Vice. or Reer, Admiral.
Nov. 13. John Hanmer of Alls. Coll. was then actually created D. of D. as the Register saith; which was, as I suppose, no more than the completion of that degree, which should have been done in the Act preceeding, had he not been absent.
In the latter end of Aug. this year, Prince Charles came honora∣bly attended to the University, and after he had been entertained with Ceremonies and Feasting sutable to his Dignity and Merit, he was pleased with his own hand writing to matriculate himself a Member of the said University, Aug. 28. with this Symbole or Sentence, Si vis omnia subjicere, subjice te rations. To say no more, he was afterwards a King of great Religion and Learning, but un∣fortunate.
