Incorporations.

This year in July, as it seems, was a supplicate made for one W. Butler of Cambridge to be incorporated, but in what Degree, whether in that of M. of Arts, or Bac. of Physick, I know not. I take him to be the same Will. Butler, who, tho not Doctor of Phy∣sick, was the most eminent Physician of his time, and as much re∣sorted to for his great knowledge in Physick, as any Person that liv∣ed before him, and had been more, did he not delight to please himself with fantastical humours. He died on the 29. of Janua. in the year 1617 and in that of his age 83, and was buried on the South side of the Chancel of St. Maries Church in Cambridge. Over his grave was soon after erected a comely Monument in the wall with his bust to the middle, and an inscription underneath, part of which runs thus. Gulielmus Butlerus Clarensis Aulae quon∣dam socius, medicorum omnium quos presens aetas vidit facile prin∣ceps, hoc sub marmore secundum Christi adventum expectat, & mo∣numentum hoc privata pietas statuit, quod deburt publica. Abi¦viator, & ad tuos reversus, narra te vidisse locum in quo salus jacct.

Creations.

Mar. 29. Austin Brodbridge sometimes Fellow of New Coll. was then actually created Master of Arts at London by Will. Brodbridge, (afterwards B. of Exeter) by virtue of a Commission under the Seal of the University, directed to Hugh Turnbull D. D. Thomas Stempe, Rob. Raynold Doctors of the Laws, Will Brodbrige before∣mention'd, and Will. Langford Masters of Arts, to be done by any one of them. This Austin Brodbridge, who had been an Exile at Strasburgh in the Reign of Qu. Mary, was now beneficed in the Church, and afterwards became Prebendary of Ferdington and Writhlington in the Church of Sarum, by the death of one Rich. Basing 1566. This Person, tho he had been before this creation but Bach. of Arts, yet by his Dean he supplicated first to be Bache∣laur of Divinity, and afterwards to be Doctor.
