Incorporations.

July 11. Lancolot Andrewes M. A. of Cambridge.—He was of Pembr. Hall in that University, and lately one of the honorary or tituler Scholars of Jesus Coll. in this University. Afterwards he became Master of the said Hall, Doct of Div. and Prebendary of Westminster in the place of Dr. Richard Bancroft promoted to the See of London, an. 1597, Dean of the said Church of Westminster in the room of Gabriel Goodman deceased, 1601. Soon after he was made Bishop of Chichester, then of Ely, and at length on the 22 Feb. 1618, was translated to Winchester. He died in Winche∣ster House in Southwark 26 Sept. 1626, and was buried in the Pa∣rish Church of S. Saviour there. Several Authors having made mention of this worthy person, I shall forbear to speak any farther of him, only say this, that he was the most eminent Divine of our Nation in his time.

William Pembertom M. A. of the said University, was incorpora∣ted on the same day.—This person who was second Son of Hen. Pemberton of Moreton in Ch••shire Gent. was afterwards Parson of High Ongar in Essex, Doctor of Div. and a Publisher of several Sermons; among which are (1) The godly Merchant, preached at Pauls Cross, on 1 Tim. 6. 6. Lond. 1613. oct. (2) Sermon on Deut. 1. 16. 17. Lond. 1619. oct. He died 10 March 1622, and was buried in the Chancel of his Church at High Ongar.

In the same month of July was a Supplicate made for one Will. Temple M. of A. of Cambridge to be incorporated, but whether he was so, it appears not.—He was the same person who was Fell. of Kings Coll. in that University, afterwards Master of the Free School in the City of Lincoln, Secretary to Sir Philip Sidney when he received his Deaths Wound at Zutph••n, and after his death to Will. Davison one of the Secretaries of State, and at length to Rob. •• of Essex Earl Marshal of England: whom, if I mistake not, he served while he was Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. In 1609, he, up∣on the importunate Solicitations of Dr. James Vsher, accepted of the Provostship of Trinity Coll. near to Dublin; after which he was knighted, and made one of the Masters of the Chancery in Ireland. He hath written (1) Pro Maldupetti de unica methodo defensione con∣tra Diplodophilum commentatio. Lond. 1581, oct. (2) Nonnullarum •• Physicis & Ethicis quaestionum explicatio pro Petro Ramo contra a Lieble∣rum. (3.) Epistola de Rami dialectica ad Johannem Piscatorem Ar∣gentinensem. (4.) Analysis Anglica triginta psalmorum à primo sci∣licet ad tricesimum primum. Lond. 1611. oct. He gave way to fate an. 1626, or thereabouts, aged 72, and was buried in the Chap∣pel belonging to the said Coll. of the Holy Trinity, leaving then be∣hind him the Character of à person of great piety and learning.
