Incorporations.
Apr. 24. Tho. Farnabie M. A. of Cambr. sometimes of Merton
Coll. in this University, and afterwards the eminent Schoolmaster

this work.

near London, Chaplain to K. Charles 1. Residentiary of
S. Pauls, and a great sufferer in the time of the Rebellion. At
length after the Restauration of K. Ch. 2. to whom he was Chaplain
in ordinary, he became Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry, to which
being consecrated at Lambeth 22 Dec. 1661, sate there to the time
of his death, 28 Oct. 1670, aged 79. Afterwards came out under
his name Christian Consolations, taught from five heads in Religion.
printed 1671 in tw. and A century of Sermons &c. Lond. 1675, fol.
Rob. Farsereus or Faisereus M. A. of Lovaine, was incorporated
the same day.
Jan. 14. Edw. Kellet M. A. of Kings Coll. in Cambr.—He was
at this time Rector of Ragborough and Crocombe in Somersetshire,
and afterwards Canon residentiary of Exeter. His Writings speak
him a learned man, some of which are (1) Miscellanies in Divinity,
in 3 books, &c. Camb. 1633, fol. (2) The threefold supper of Christ
in the night that he was betrayed. Lond. 1641, fol. besides Sermons,
of which one is entit. A return from Argier, preached at Minhead
in Somersetshire 16 Mar. 1627, at the readmission of a relapsed
Christian into our Church, on Gal. 5. 2. Lond. 1628, qu. This
was preached in the morning of the third Sunday in Lent, and
in the Afternoon preached Dr. Hen. Byam on the same occasion▪
but not on the same subject. He the said Kellet was a sufferer, if
I mistake not, in the time of the Rebellion, which began 1642.
Febr. 20. Joh. Foxeroft Bach. of Arts of Cambr.—See more
among the Masters in the year following.
This year was a Supplicate made for one John Hayward LL. D.
and Historiographer of Chelsey Coll. near to London, to be incorpo∣rated
in the same Faculty, but whether he was really so, I cannot
tell.—In the year 1619 he received the honour of Knighthood
from his Majesty at Whitehall, being then accounted a learned and
godly man, and one better read in Theological Authors than in
those belonging to his own profession. The Titles of all or of most
of the Books that he published, you may see in the Oxford Cata∣logue.
As for those of History which he hath published, the
phrase and words in them were in their time esteemed very good;
only some have wish'd that in his History of Hen. 4. he had not
called Sir Hugh Lynne by so light a word as Mad-cap, tho he were
such; and that he had not changed his Historical stile into a Dram∣matical,
where he induceth a Mother uttering a Womans passion,
in the case of her Son. This Sir Joh. Hayward ended his days in
his house in the Parish of Great S. Barthelmew in London, on Wednes∣day
27 June 1627, and was buried in the Church belonging to
that Parish. You may see more of him in Camdens Annals of
Qu. Elizab. under the year 1601, where you'll find him punished
by a tedious Imprisonment for an unseasonable Edition of one of
his books.
Creations.
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.
