Incorporations.
Feb. 20. Rob. Johnson M. A. of Cambridge, was then incorpora∣ted,
being the very next day after the Act had been celebrated—
This Rob. Johnson who was Son of Maurice Johnson Alderman of
Stanford in Lincolnshire, was afterwards Bach. of Div. and twice
made Prebendary of Rochester, which he twice resign'd. In 1570
he was installed Prebendary of Norwych, which Dignity he resign∣ing,
Griffith Toy M. A. of Jes. Coll. in Oxon succeeded, an. 1575.
In 1572, he became Canon of Windsore in the place of Joh. Browne
Bac. of Div. and in 1591 he was made Archdeacon of Leycester in
the place of Hugh Blythe Can. of Windsore resigning; being about
that time honorary Fellow of Jesus Coll. in Oxon. He founded
two Grammar Schools in Rutlandshire, one at Vphingham and ano∣ther
at Okeham, two Hospitals also in the same County, (which he
endowed) four exhibitioners in Sydney Coll. in Cambridge, to come
from the said Free-schools, and was a benefactor to the weekly
Preachers at St. Pauls Cross in London. He died on the first of Aug.
1625, being then or lately Rector of N. Luffenham in Rutlandshire.
In 1560 one Edm. Johnson Schoolmaster of St. Anthonies in London
became Canon of Windsore, and then by little and little (as one
observes) followed the spoil of St. Authonies Hospital. He first
dissolved the choire, conveyed away the plate and ornaments, then
the bells, and lastly put out the Almes-men from their houses, al∣lowing
them portions of 12 d. per week, which also in short time
vanished away. This I thought good to let the reader know, be∣cause
the Author here quoted, having reported these matters to be
done by one Johnson, have caused some to think them done by Reb.
Johnson beforemention'd.
