The Chancellour of the University this year, was Dr. John More∣ton. Archb. of Canterbury, and Cardinal of S. Anastasius: But he dying in the Month of Sept. Dr Will. Atwater became C••ncellarius 〈◊〉〈◊〉, and in his Absence W. Herward, D. D. and others.

Proctors

The Senior Proctor, who was Fellow of Line. Coll. was after∣wards Archdeacon of Stow, in the place, as I conceive, of Hugh Hanworth, who dying the 7th of March 1518, was buried in the Cath. Church of Lincoln. He the said Darby also was Canon resi∣dent. of Line. and Prebendary of Ketton in the said Church; and dying in 1542, was buried in Chanter Isle joyning to the Cath. Ch. of Line before mentioned. See more of him and his Benefa∣ction to Learning in Hist. & Antiq. Vniv. Oxom. lib. 2. p. 161.

Masters of Art,

Or such who were licensed to proceed in Arts, or admitted among the number of Masters of the Faculty of Arts, in order to their proceeding, or being compleated in that Degree in the Act or Comitia following.

Will Gray, or Grey.—The same, as I have just reason to con∣ceive, who was some years after this time Archdeacon of Berkshire in the place of Christop. Twinkley; as also Prebendary of Horton in the Church of Sarton. He died in the Year 1521, at which time he bequeathed twenty Marks to the University Chest, four Marks for the Reparation of S. Mary's Church, and four Pounds to buy a new pair of Organs to be plaid upon in the said Church. For which, and other his good Deeds, was yearly a Dirige and Mass said for the health of his Soul. In his Archdeaconry succeed∣ed Rob. Audley, nearly related to Edm. Audley B. of Sarum, 14 Feb. 1521.

Opponents in Divinity,

Or such who opposed in Divinity disputations, in the School be∣longing to that Faculty, in order to their Admission to the Degree of Bach. of Divinity.

Tho. Browne—He was about this time Prior of the Cell at Dun∣ster in Somersetshire. The said Cell or Priory was for Benedictines or Black Monks. and stood, as Jo. Leland tellsa 1.1 us. in the roots of the North-west side of the Castle at Durster, and was a Cell to the Priory at Bathe.

Bachelaurs of Divinity,

Or such who were admitted to the reading of the Master of the Sentences, or to the Sentences of Pet. Lombard.

John Storke or Sterke, Prior of the House or Coll. of the Fry∣ers of the Order of S. Austin the Hermit.—This Coll. was situated in the North Suburb of Oxon. On the scite of which place, Wadham Coll. was afterwards built.

John Hakebourne. Prior of the Coll. of S. Mary the Virgin (a Nur∣sery for 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Regulars of the Order of S. Austin) within the University of Oxon—The great Gate of this Coll. which is now standing: is almost opposite to that of New Inn, in a Lane com∣monly called New Inn Lane. This John H••kebo••n, I take to be the same with him who is sometimes written John Haukebourn, who was after this time Doctor of Divinity. and Lord Abbat of the Monastery of our Lady at Cirencester, (a place for Black Ca∣nons) in Glocesters••re.

John Holwel of Exeter Coll.—In the year 1505 he occurs Principal of Black Hall near to that of Hart, about which time he was Canon of the Cath. Ch. at Exeter.

Doctors of the Civil Law,

Or such who were 〈◊〉〈◊〉 to proceed in the Civil Law, or ad∣mitted Doctors of the Civil Law, in order to proceed, or to be compleated Doctors in the Act following.

Henry Wilcocks, now, or about this time. Principal or chief Mo∣derator of the Civil Law School in the Parish of S. Edward, being Deputy for Dr. Will. Warham Master of the Rolls, and afterwards Archb of Canterbury.—This Civil Law School and the Church of S Edward (both which joyned together) have been time out of mind demolished. They stood in, or near that Lane, which we now call Blew-••oar Lane▪ near to the Back-gate of the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Inn. This Dr. Wilcocks was Archdeacon of 〈◊〉〈◊〉 (in which Dignity he was succeeded by Ric. Mawdly or Mawdion, D. D) and Vicar gen. to Dr. Smith Bishop of Lincoln.

Doctors of the Canon Law,

Or such who were licensed to proceed in the Decrees or Canon Law, &c.

Roger Sandyford or Sandford, Principal of Broadgates Hall in the Parish of All Saints—Upon the Resignation of Philip Agard, an Inceptor in the sacred Canons or Decrees the said Rog. Sandford succeeded in the Principality of that Hall in 1498. which Hall did once stand where now is a Yard containing divers Tenements belonging to Magd College; the Gate leading to which is almost opposite to the sometimes Inn called the Sw••n, in that part of the High Street between the Churches of All 〈◊〉〈◊〉 and S. Mary.

Will. Horsley Principal of P••ckwaters Inn.—This Inn is involved in that Quadrangle belonging to Ch▪ Ch. now called Peckwater.

This year was a Supplicate made in the venerable Congrega∣tion of Regents for one Tho. Dalby to be admitted to a Degree in Decrees; but whether he was admitted I cannot yet tell.—This Tho. Dalby whom I find afterwards written Doctor of Decrees, was installed Archdeacon of Richmond in Oct. 1506, upon the Promo∣tion of James Stanley to the See of Ely, was made about that time Prebendary of the Prebend of Stillington, and Canon residentiary, in the Church of York, afterwards the thirty seventh Provost of the Church of S. John at Beverley, Treasurer of the Pallace of Tho. Sa∣vage sometimes Archb. of York, Chaplain and Counsellor to King Hen. 7. and Dean of the Chappel to the Duke of Richmond and Somerset. This Dr. Dalby died 26 Jan. 1525, and was buried in the North Isle joyning to the Choire of the Cath. Church of York. I find another Tho. Dalby who was Archdeacon of Richmond, and Residentiary in the Church of York, but he dying in 1400, must not be supposed to be the same with the former.

Doctors of Divinity,

Or such who were licensed to proceed in Divinity, or admitted Doctors or Professors of Divinity, or of the Holy Writ, in order to their proceeding, or being compleated in that Degree in the Act following.

William Vavasor Gardian or Warden of the House or Coll. of the Franciscans or Grey Fryers in the South Suburb of Oxon.— This Coll. was situated without Little Southgate, commonly called Watergate, where now a Brewer and a Tanner, besides other People, live; and the Gardens and Grove belonging thereunto, si∣tuated on the West side of the said Coll. are now called by the Name of Paradise Garden. This College was one of the famousest Places for learned Fryers in the Christian World, and therein did Roger Bacon, the Miracle of his Age for Learning, live and die in the Habit of a Franciscan. Another Miracle also did live and study there about Roger's death, named John Do••••s, highly famed at this day beyond the Seas, for those Books which he hath writ∣ten, yet so little valued now among many English Men, that the Philosopherb 1.2 of Malmsbury doth not stick to say, that any in∣genious Reader, not knowing what was the design (meaning the Pope's design to carry on his Authority) would judge him to have been the most egregious Blockhead in the World, so obscure and senseless are his Writings.

Hugh Sa••ders alias Shackspear of Merton Coll.—He was after∣wards Principal of S. Albans Hall, and is stiled in one of our pub∣lick Registersc 1.3 Vir literis & virtute percelebis.

John Stanywell Prior of the Benedictine Monks of Glocester Coll. now Gloc. Hall.—He was the same Person with John Stonywell who was soon after Lord Abbat of Pershore (a Monastery for Benedictines) in Worcestershire, and a Bishop by the Title of Episc. Po••etensis, as I have among the Bishops told you.

Joh. Avery of Lincoln Coll.—He was afterwards several times Commissary of the University.

John Percivall the seven and fortieth Minister or Provincial of the Minorites, Franciscans or Grey Fryers, in England, did proceed about this Year in Divinity. See among the Writers under the year 1502.

Clement Lychfeld a Monk of the Order of S. Benedict in the Monastery of E••••sham in Worcestershire—He was afterwards Abbat of that Place, and continuing there till towards the dissoul∣tion of Religious Houses, with a resolution not to surrender his House for a profane use, was at length by the tricks of Tho. ••romwel Secretary of State to K. Hen 8. perswaded to resign his

pastoral Staff to one Philip Hawford alias Ballard, a young Monk of Evesham: which being done accordingly, (not altogether to the content of Lychfeld) was a Surrender of that Monastery soon after made into the hands of the said King. For which Service Ballard had not only a considerable Pension allowed, but also the Deanery of Worcester given to him, an. 1553, (•• Mar.) upon the deprivation of one John Barlow, M. A. who had been installed Dean in June 1544, in the place of Hen. Holbeach alias Rands the first Dean, afterwards Bishop of Lincoln. As for Lychfeld, who was a most pious and zealous man in the way he professed, he expended much Money in building the Abbey of Evesham and other places belonging to it, as also in building and adorning the Choir. He maded 1.4 also a right sumptuous and high square Tower of Stone in the Cemitery of Evesham. This Tower had a great Bell in it, and a goodly Clock, and was as a Gatehouse to one piece of the Abbey. This Abbat builded at his M••••or at Vss••nham about a mile above Evesham. This good man died at, or near, Evesham, and was buried in a Chappel (which he before had built) joyning to the Abbey-Church there, 9 Octob. 1540. In memory of whom, was, in his life time, an Inscription set up in a Window of the said Church, running thus, Orate pro anima Domini Clementis Lychfeld Sacerdotis, cujus tempore turris Eveshamiae ••dficata est

John Colet M. A. was about this time admitted to the reading of the Sentences.

Henry Rytoner Abbat of Rewley (a Monastery for Cistercians in the West Suburb of Oxon.) was admitted about this time.

Doctors of the Civ. Law,

Robert Langton of Queens Coll.—In the Month of Sept. 1485 he was made Prebendary of Fordington and Writblington in the Church of Salisbury, and about that time Preb. of Chy••••inster and Bere in the same Church. In 1486, Jun. 25. he became Arch∣deacon of Dorset, void by the Death of Will. Ascough, and in 1509 Apr. 24. he was installed Treasurer of the Church of York, in the place of one Martin Collyns deceased, who had before been Chaun∣tor of the said Church.—See more of him (Rob. Langton) among the Bishops in Tho. Langton an. 150.

Rob. Honywode of Allsoules Coll did proceed also this or the year before.—In 1506 he became Canon of Windsore, and about that time Archdeacon of Taunton. He died 22 Jan. 1522, and was bu∣ried in the Chappel of S. George at Windsore.

Doctors of Div.

Thom. Swawell a Monk of the Order of S. Benedict, and War∣den or Gardian of Durham Coll. in Oxon.

Ch. at Lincoln. and also Predendary of Bykkylleswade or Biggleswade in the said Church. He gave way to Fate 27 March 1536, and was buried in the Isle called Chauntor Isle within the Precincts of the Cathedral of Linc.

Frater or Brother Thom. Latymer a Dominican or Black Fryer.

This year Thom. Beaumont of Merton Coll. of about 15 years standing in the Degree of Master of Arts, did supplicate to be li∣censed to proceed in Divinity, but whether he was licensed or ad∣mitted I cannot yet find. Before this time he was Archdeacon of Bathe, and in great repute there for his Learning; which Dignity he surrendring up, one John Pikman LL. Bac. was collated there∣unto (per dimissionem Tho. Beaumont) 12 Jul. 1499. The very next day Beaumont was collated to the Provostship of Wells, with the Prebendary called Combe de twelf, on the Death of Mr. Thom. Barrow, (who had been also Archdeacon of Colchester) and in 1502 he became Archdeacon of Wells, and well beneficed in the Diocess belonging thereunto. In Octob. or thereabouts, in the year 1507, he died; whereupon Cardinal Hadrian de Cast••llo Bishop of B. and Wells, did bestow the said Dignity of Archdeacon on his Kinsman Polydore Virgil alias Casteller, with the Prebendary of Brent in the Church of Wells annexed, on the sixth of Febr. the same year. At which time Polydore being in great favour with R. Foxe B. of Winchester, had, as I conceive, some Dignity or Be∣nefice in the Church confer'd on him by that worthy Person. In the Reign of Ed. 6. he being then well stricken in years, he procu∣red an Order or License from the King to depart from England to go to his native Country; in which Ordere 1.5 dated 2 June 4 Ed. 6. Dom. 1550. I find these matters—

Whereas our trusty and welbeloved Pollidoru•• Virgilius hath made humble sure unto us, that he, being born in the Parts of Italy, and, having served our Grandfather K H••n. 7. and our Father K. H••n. 8. and Us, by the space of fourty years and above, in writing, and put∣ting forth in Print divers notable Works and Stories, may be li∣censed to depart out of this our Realm, and visit and see, now in his old Age, his said native Country, and there to make his abode, during his pleasure, and also quietly &c. to enjoy all the Profits of the Archdeaconry of Wells, in the Cathedral Church of Wells, and the Phebend of Nonyngton in the Cathedral Ch. of Hereford,

which the said Po••lidorus now enjoyeth, &c. By vertue of the said Order he departed: but before he went he Sold the perpetuity of the House of Wells which belonged to the Arch∣deacon of Wells; and dying at Vrbin in Italy, the place of his Na∣tivity, wasf 1.6 there buried in 1555. There was some Memory of him remaining divers years after his Death in the Choire at Wells; and Jo. Leland takesg 1.7 notice of his Arms in the Arras

Clothes (as he calls them) hanging over the Stalls in the Choire at Wells, about which was this Verse,

Sum Laurus virtutis honos pergrata triumphis.

And about another in the same Arras Hangings, this,

Haec Polydori sunt numera Virgilii.

In the beginning of Oct. 1510, he was naturalized, or made ah 1.8 Native of England, by the Name of Polydorus Virgilius alias dictus Polydorus Castellensis Clericus, having lived several years before in England.

An. Dom. 1502.

Chanc. the same, viz. Mr. Will. Smyth B. of Lincoln; but he resigning about the beginning of Aug. Dr. Rich. Fitzjanes Warden of Merton Coll. and Bishop of Rochester, being at this time resi∣dent in the University, becamei 1.9 Cancellarius nat••••, and in his absence Mr. John Kynton and Mr. John Thornden or Tho••••••. At length, after a great deal of disturbance in the University concern∣ing the Election of a Chancellour, Mr. Rich. Mayhew, President of Magd. Coll. and the Kings Almoner, was elected Chancellour about the latter end of Nov. following.

Commiss.

• Will. Atwater again.

• John Matson or Mackson of Mert. Coll.

The Senior was the Northern, the other the Southern, Proctor.

Bach. of Musick,

Or such who were admitted to the reading of any of the Musi∣cal Books of Boetius.

Henry Parker of S. Mary Magdalens Hall.—He was eminent in these times for his Compositions in Vocal and Instrumental Mu∣sick, some of which, if I do not forget my self, I have seen in the Musical Bibliotheca reposed in the School of that Faculty.

Mast. of Arts.

About nineteen Masters proceeded this year, of which three or four were of Alls. Coll. four of Merton, and one or more of Magd. Coll. among whom Laur. Stubbes was one, afterwards Pre∣sident thereof. What were the Promotions or Dignities of any be∣sides him, I cannot yet tell.

Opponents in Divinity,

Thomas Wallashe now, or soon after, Prior of the Monastery of the Virgin Mary at Bradenstoke of the Order of S. Augustin, in the Dioc. of Salisbury.—About the year 1511 he was admitted Pre∣bendary of Hustwayt in the Church of York in the place of Christop. Fisher Bishop of Elphine (in Ireland) deceased. Whether the said Th. Wallash was afterwards admitted to the reading of the Senten∣ces, which usually follows Opposition in Divinity, I cannot yet find.

Bach. of Div.

John Maynard a Monk of the Order of S. Benedict.—He was afterwards Prior of the Novices of the said Order living in Glo∣cester Coll. in this University, in the place of Dr. Stanywell before-mentioned, and was succeeded in the said Priorship by one John Wynyscom••e or Wynchombe a learned Monk of the said Order, who occurs Prior in the year 1512.

Doctors of Physick,

Or such who were licensed to proceed in the Faculty of Medcine or Physick.

John Gam or Game of Allsoules Coll. sometimes one of the Pro∣ctors of the University.—He was now Principal of Biham, com∣monly called Beame, Hall in the Parish of S. John Bapt. Which Prin∣cipality he resigned this year to make room for Hugh Pole of the same Coll.

Doct. of Div.

John Thornden or Thornton, did proceed in Divinity about this Year.—He was afterwards several times Commissary of the University, and a Bishop, as I have before told you.

This year one John Newland, a Black or Regular Canon of the Order of S. Augustin, supplicated for a Degree in Divinity; but whether granted, which is very imperfect (or not at all) tells us not. This is the same John Newland who was born at Newland in the Forest of Deane in Glocestershire, and was common∣ly called and written John Naileheart alias Newland. He was the last Abbat saving one of the Monastery of S. Austin at Bristol; in which Monastery, as also in the Church belonging thereto, he ex∣pended much Money in building and adorning. He was called the Good Abbat, being a Person solely given up to Religion and Almsdeeds; and after he had ruled 33 years or thereabouts, he gave way to Fate in a good old Age, and was buried on the south side of the Choire of the Church of S. Austin, now the Cath. Church at Bristol. Over his Grave is his Statua in Pontificalia, graven or carved out from Stone, laying on the Back, with a

Crosier in his Hand, and a Mi••re on his Head. His Arms do now, or did lately, continue in the Church and other Buildings of that Monastery, which are a Man's heart pierced thro from top to botto•••• with three nails, which is as 'twere a Rebus for Naileheart.

• Sim. Greene alias Fotherbie D. D. of Linc Coll.

Proct.

• John Stokesley of Magd. Coll.
• Rich. Dudley of Oriel Coll.

The Senior who was the Northern Proctor, was afterwards Bish. of London; and the Junior, who was the Southern Proctor, was afterwards Chancellour of the Church of Salisbury. He was Master of Arts of this University; but whether he took any De∣gree in Divinity therein, I find not. See more in 1508.

Bachelaurs of Arts,

Or such who were admitted to the reading of any Book of the Faculty of Arts of the Logick of Aristotle.

Edward Lee of S. Mar. Magd. Coll. seems to have been admit∣ted Bach. of Arts this year, among twenty or thereabouts that were admitted within the compass of the same year.—We have no Regi∣ster that shews it, only certain imperfect and broken Scripts con∣taining sums of money received for the taking of Degrees, which I have seen, but I think are now perish'd.

Bach. of Physick,

Or such who were admitted to the reading of any Book of the Aphorismes of Hypocrates.

Rich. Barthlet Master of Arts and Fellow of Allsoules Coll.— See more among the Doctors of Physick under the year 1508.

Doct. of Div.

Will. Salyng (or Selling) Lord Prior of Martyn, or Merton, in Surrey.

Rob. Tehy or Thay of Magd. Coll.

Rich. Sydenore of the same Coll. about this time Archdeacon of Totness.—In 1518 he was made Canon of Windsor, and in 1524 constituted Scribe or Registrary of the most noble Order of the Garter. He died 1534, and was, I presume, buried in the Chap. of S. George at Windsor. In his Canonry and Registrary's place succeeded Rob. Aldridge, who was afterwards Bish. of Carlisle, and in his Archdeaconry of Totness succeeded, as it seems, George Carew.

This year was a Supplication made in the ven. Congregation of Regents for one Rich. Bere a Benedictin Monk, to be graduated in Divinity; but whether in the Degree of Bach. or Doct. it appears not; or whether he was admitted to either. 'Twas the same Rich. Bere who was installed Abbat of Glastenbury on the Death of John Selwood the former Abbat, 20 January 1493, (after the Ele∣ction of another Person named Tho. Wasyn a Monk of the same Order, had been cassated, by Rich. Fox Bish. of B. and Wells, on the 12. of Nov. going before.) This Rich. Bere, who was well known to, and reverencedk 1.10 by, Erasmus, died 20. Jan. 1524, whereupon Rich. Whyting was elected Abbat in his place on the third of March following, there being then in the Monastery of Glastenbury 47 Monks. If you are pleased to know more of this Bere, you may read what Leland saithl 1.11 of him, and his Be∣nefaction to the said Abbey, thus.—

Rich. Bere Abbat, built the new Lodgings by the great Chamber called the Kings Lodgings in the Gallery.—He builded also new Lodgings for Secular Priests and Clerks of our Ladies Chappel. He also arched on both sides the East part of the Church. He built Edgar's Chappel at the East end of the Church. Abbat Whyting per∣formed part of it.—Abbat Bere made the Vault on the Ste∣ple in trancepto.—He also made a rich Altar of Silver and guilt, and set it afore the high Altar. And coming from his Embassadry out of Italy, made a Chappel of our Lady of Loretto, joyning to the North side of the Body of the Church.—He made the Chappel in the South end Navis Ecclesiae Glaston, where∣by he is buried sub plano mannore in the South Isle of the Body of the Church.—He made an Almshouse in the North part of the Abbey, with a Chappel, for seven or ten poor Women. He also made the Mannor place at Sharpham in the Park, two miles by West from Glaston.

Edward Finch.—Of what Coll. or Hall he was a Member, I cannot yet find: sure I am that on the 23 Sept. 1517, he became Predendary of Fordington and Writhlington in the Church of Salis∣bury, on the death of Andrew Ammonius an Italian, (whom I have mention'd among the Writers in Will. Grocyn, an. 1522.) that also he was made Archdeacon of Wiltshire on the death of Christoph. Vrshwyke, 12 May, 1522; and Preb. of Chermister and Bere in the said Church of Sarum, on the death of Rob. Langton sometimes of Queens Coll in this University, 30. June 1524.

Philip Dense Fellow of Mert. Coll.—He hath this Character added to his Name in the Album of that Society, Medicus & Astronomus cum primis doctus. In the Act wherein these two pro∣ceeded, were about 14 Masters, but whether any of them were af∣terwards Bishops, Writers, or Dignitaries, I cannot yet find. The said Philip Dense, who was a learned man as certain Writings which he left behind him shew'd, died of a pestilent Disease 4 Sept. 1507, and was buried in the choire belonging to the Church of the said Coll.

Doct. of Div.

John Colet the most learned and religious Dean of S. Pauls Ca∣thedral in London.—I have largely mention'd him before.

John Adams of Merton Coll.—He was afterwards a Dignitary in the Church.

This year was a Supplicat made in the ven. Congregation of Regents in behalf of Father William Byrd a Benedictine Monk, to be admitted Bach. of Div. or licensed to proceed in that Faculty; but whether either was granted, I cannot tell. I take this Father to be the same William Byrd who was elected Prior of the Mona∣stery of Benedictines at Bathe in Aug. 1499, after the death of John Cantlo•• the preceeding Prior. For what Benedictine of both those Names it should be, but he, I cannot tell. It is reported by onem 1.12 who pretended to know him well, that this Will. Byrd was given much to Chemistry and chemical Operations, that he found out the Stone, or discovered the Elixir, and at the Sup∣pression of Abbeys he hid it in a Wall,

And ten days after he went to fetch it out, And there he found the stople of a Clout.

This put the Father into so great an Agony, that he became almost frantick, as the same Author tells us; who adds, that he ever after wandred about, had no setled place, that he became blind, had a Boy to lead him about, lost his Ecclesiastical Prefer∣ments, and died poor; with other the like fabulous Tales, which are commented upon forsooth by a certain Rosacrucian, as if they were as true as Gospel. I find this Person Will. Byrd to have ex∣pended much money in finishing his Church at Bathe, which is now the great Church there, dedicated to S▪ Peter and S. Paul, but before he could finish it, he gave way to Fate; which hap∣ning on the 22. of May 1525. John Holway of the same Order was elected Prior on the first of July the same year, and was Prior thereof at the dissolution or suppression of Abbeys, and not W. Byrd as severaln 1.13 Authors report. Towards the upper end of the Choir of the said Church dedicated to S. Peter and Paul, was, by the Appointment of this Person, erected, between two of the South Pillars, a neat tabernacular Edifice, which, I presume, he intended to be the Seat of the Prior at Divine Service. His Arms on the Roof of it are curiously carved out in Stone, which are a Chevron between three Spread Eagles, on a chief a Rose between two L••zenges; and on the outside of the said Seat is a Memorial of his name, viz. a W and a Bird carved in Stone: in which Seat, or else near to it, he was, as I conceive, buried. As for John Cant∣low beforementioned, who was his Predecessor, and graduated in this University, he built in a certain Village near Bathe, called Holloway, in the Parish of Widcomb, a pretty little Chappel dedica∣ted to S Mary Magd. as also, as 'tis said there, the little Hospital adjoyning for Lunaticks.

Bach. of Arts,

Of above 27 who were admitted this year, none of any note do yet appear, or are worthy to be remembred, only

Mathew Smyth of Oriel Coll. who was afterwards the first Prin∣cipal of Brasnose Coll. and a Benefactor to Learning; and ano∣ther named

John Cottisford of Linc. Coll. afterwards Rector of that House, and a Dignitary. Both whom were admitted the last of June.

Bach. of the Civil Law,

Or such who were admitted to the reading of any book of the Institutions.

About 10 were admit••ed this year, among whom Dionis Cala∣kan (an Irish Man) was one, June ult. Twenty or more also supplicated for the said Degree, who were not admitted this year; among whom Tho. Bennet was one, but whether the same Tho. Bennet who became Chauntor of the Cath. Church of Salis∣bury in Jan. 1541, I dare not affirm it.

Bach. of the Canon Law,

Or such who were admitted to the reading extraordinary of any Book of the Decretals or Volumes.

About 17 were admitted this year, of whom Rich. Wykeham and John Colchester, Benedictine Monks, were of the number, ult. June, and Nelanus Neal a Carme or White Fryer another. Twelve also at least supplicated for the same Degree, but were not ad∣mitted, among whom Thom. Cbeltenham a Benedictine was one. Mar. 16.

Mast. of Arts,

Jan. 25. Thom. Southerne.—He was afterwards Proct. of the University, Treasurer of the Cath. Church at Exeter, and Fellow of Eaton Coll. near to Windsor. He died in 1557. Besides him were about 20 more admitted Masters of Arts, but none of any note, that I can yet find, among them.

Jan. 24. Rich. Kirkby Mast. of Arts of this Univ. and Bach. of Divin. of the Univ. of Paris, was incorporated Bach. of Div. of this University.—Which being done, he supplicated the same day to be admitted or licensed to proceed in Divinity; but whether grant∣ed it appears not.

….James Denton Doctor of the Laws, sometimes Fellow of Kings Coll. in Cambridge▪ did this year supplicate to be incorpo∣rated; but whether he was really so, it appears not. He was Chancellour to the Lady Mary Queen Dowager of France, who was afterwards married to Charles Brandon Duke of Suffolk, and so I presume he took that Degree beyond the Seas. About this time, he being one of the King's Counsellors, and much in savour, was made Prebendary of York, Lincoln. Salisbury, and in 1510, Canon of Windsor. In 1521, or thereabouts, he succeeded Dr. Ralph Collingwood in the Deanery of Lichfie••d, having been installed Prebendary of that Church by his Proctor Dr. Rich. Salter of Oxon. an 1509, and in 1523 he became Archdeacon of Clievland in the Church of York upon the promotion of Dr. Richard Rawlyns of Mert. Coll. to the See of S. David. This Dr. Denton was also Lord President of Wales, and dying at Ludlow in Shropshire in 1532, was there buried. In his Deanery of Lichfield succeeded Dr. Rich.

Sampson, who holding it till 1536, at which time he was promoted to the See of Chichester, Rich. Williams Chaplain to, and beloved of, K. Hen. 8. succeeded. In his Archdeaconry of Clievland suc∣ceeded Tho. Bedell, as I shall tell you under the year 1508, and in his Canonry of Windsore Dr. Rich. Wolman, whom I shall mention elsewhere. This Dr. Denton built the large Back-stairs at Wind∣sore, was an especial Benefactor to the Church there by founding Maintenance for the Singing-men and Choiristers; and did, with Dr. John Clerke Dean of Windsore, receiveo 1.14 by Indenture from the Lord Hastyngs; the Sheets (as a Relique) wherein K.

Bach. of Musick.

None do occur in our Registers that were admitted, only Richard Ede, a Canon Regular, and a Scholar in Musick, did supplicate the ven. Congregation to be admitted Bachelaur of that Faculty Feb. 10. but whether he was now, or after, really admitted, it appears not.

Bach. of Arts.

Dec. 17. Leonard Huchenson of Balliol, afterwards Master of Vni∣versity Coll.

Feb. 8. Rob. Morwent of Magdalen, afterwards President of Corp. Christi, Coll.

Beside these two (who were great Promoters and Encouragers of Learning) were 32 more admitted Bach. of Arts this year.

Bach. of the Civ. Law,

Or such who were admitted to the reading of any Book of the Institutions, as I have before told ye.

Jan. 28. John Incent or Innocent of Allsoules Coll.—Two days before he was admitted Bach. of the Canon Law, as I shall anon tell you.

Besides him were admitted this year six more, and eight at least that supplicated for the said Degree, who were not this year admit∣ted; among whom Joh. Prynne was one, Nov 24. This J. Prynne I take to be the same who was Prior of the Monastery at Timbridge in Kent, an. 1518.

Bach. of the Can. Law,

Or such who were admitted to the extraordinary reading (or reading extraordinary) of any Book of the Decretals or Volumes, as I have before told you.

Mar. 29. John Ashdowne a Monk of the Cluniac Order, and Prior of the Monastery of Lewes in Sussex.—He had before spent seven years in studying the Canon Law in Cambridge.

Jan. 26. Joh. Incent or Innocent before mention'd, who had for∣merly spent one year in the study of the Canon Law at Cambridge, was then admitted Bach. of the Canon Law.—He was after∣wards Doctor of his Faculty, as I shall tell you hereafter, and the worthy Dean of S Pauls Cath. Church in London. Besides these two, were eleven more admitted this year, and about fifteen that supplicated for the said Degree, of whom Thom. Egyston a Bene∣dictine was one. The rest were mostly secular Chaplains, among whom Rich. Hyll•• or Hylley was of the number; but whether the same with one of both his names who succeeded in the Treasurer∣ship of the Church of Salisbury one Henry Sutton sometimes Fellow of Merton College, in the Month of Aug. 1505, I know not. The said Rich. Hylley who was Treasurer, dying in Sept. or thereabouts, in 1533, Nicholas Shaxton D. D. succeeded him in that Dignity in the beginning of Oct. the same year, and him (who was afterwards Bishop of Salisbury) Rich. Sampson LL. D. as I shall tell you under the year 1521.

Masters of Arts.

Of 23 Masters of Arts who were admitted, and stood in three several Acts solemnized in S. Maries Church this year, (whereof one was 3 July, another 26 Jan. and the third on the 8 Feb.) I cannot yet find any one of them that arrived to any Eminence, on∣ly John Hewys of Merton Coll. who was Chaplain to Qu. Catherine, and a rich Dignitary in the Church.

Opponents in Divinity,

Or such who opposed in Divinity disputations, in the School belonging to that Faculty, in order to their admission to the de∣gree of Bach. of Div.

May 13. Frater Dedicus Fernandus, a Dominican, or Black, or Preaching Fryer.

June 28. Frat. Petrus Lusitanus, a Minorite, or Franciscan, or Grey Fryer. Neither of these two (who were learned men) ap∣pear

in the public Register to be afterwards admitted Bach. of Di∣vinity. Besides them were six more admitted to oppose, who were all religious, or of religious Orders, and eight that supplicated to oppose; all, except one, of religious Orders also, among whom Nich. Pepyr, a Canon Regular, was one. Of him by the way, I must let the Reader know, that he was elected Prior of the House of Can. Regulars at Taunton in Somersetshire (on the Resignation of John Prows) 23 Feb. 1513, and dying there 26 Sept. 1523, one Will. York of the same Order was admitted Prior in his place. In the year 1519, when the said York was admitted Bach. of Div. this Pepyr did then supplicate for that Degree.

Bach. of Div.

Dec. 14. Thom. Goldwell of Canterbury Coll. (who on the 19. of Oct. going before was admitted to oppose in Divinity) was then admitted Bach. of Divinity.—He was a Monk of the Order of S. Benedict, and in the year 1517 was chose the last Prior of the Church at Canterbury. I have mention'd another Thom. Goldwell among the Bishops under the year 1580.

Feb. ult. Rob. Kynge, a Monk of the Cistercian Order in the Ab∣bey of Rewley in the West Suburb of Oxon.—He was afterwards the first Bishop of Oxford. See more among the D. of D. 1518.

Mar.—Richard Ferys a Carme.—See among the D. of D. 1513.

Besides these three, were seven more admitted of whom John Combe a Cistercian was one.

Doctors of the Civil Law.

June 28. Brian Hygden LL. Ba•••• of Broadgates Hall, now Pem∣broke Coll. was then admitted Doctor.—On the 26 May 1515, he was admitted Archdeacon of York, or of the West Riding in Yorkshire, on the Resignation of John Carver LL. D. On the 20. of June 1516, he was admitted Prehendary of Vlleskelf in the Church of York•• and on the 27 of the same Month Dean thereof, in the place of John Young LL. D. Master of the Ro••ls, deceased▪ He paid his last debt to Nature 5 June 1539, (having before been a Benefactor to Learning, as I have elsewherep 1.15 told you) and was buried in the Cath. Ch. of York. In his Deanery succeeded Rich. Layton or Leighton LL. D. on the 26 of July the same year, who on the 31 of June going before, was admitted to the said Prebendship of Vlleskelf, purposely to capacitate him for the Dean∣ery. This Dr. Layton was Chaplain and Counsellor to K. Hen. 8. and did act much to please the unlimited desire of that King. In Oct. 1541, he, under pretence of his Majesty's Pleasure, converted the Silver Capsula gilt (in which were then the bones of the head of S. William Archbishop of York reposed) with the Jewels and Ornaments of it, to the public use and benefit of the Church of York. In 1544. Dec. 24. Nich. Wotton LL. D was installed by pro∣xy Dean of York in Dr. Layton's place, and in Wotton's Dr. Matthew Hutcon, 8 Apr. 1567.

Feb. 29. Rob. Froost was then admitted Dr. of the Civil Law, but never stood in the Act to compleat that degree.

This year March 29. John Ashdowne mentioned before, did sup∣plicate just after he had been admitted Bac. of the Canon Law, to be licensed to proceed in that Faculty, but was not granted. Ro∣bert Coke also LL. B. and Principal of Henxsey Hall in S. Aldates Parish, did supplicate to be licensed to proceed in the Civil Law, but was then denied.

Doct. of Div.

May 12. John Heskins a Preaching or Black Fryer.

Incorporations.

June 28. Will. Smyth Commissary to the Bishop of Lincoln, and Doctor of Decrees in another University, was then incorporated. —He was Nephew, or near of kin, to Dr. Will. Smyth Bishop of Lincoln, was Archdeacon of Lincoln, and dying in 1528, was suc∣ceeded in that Dignity by Rich. Pate M A. of Oxon, as I have told you elsewhere among the Bishops.

(about this time Principal of Biham Hall) supplied his place as senior Regent in the University till the fourth day of Nov. following, and then Mr. Thom. Bentley of New Coll. being elected Proctor, served out the remaining part of the year.

Bach. of Arts.

June 19. John Blysse.—He hath this Character added to his Name in the Cat. of Fellows of Mert. Coll. he being of that So∣ciety, Medicus & Astronomus quam doctus.

Feb. 27. Rog Egworth or Edgworth of Oriel Coll. whom I have mentioned among the Writers, under the year 1560.

Besides these two were at least 55 Bachelaurs admitted this year, and 23 that supplicated for that degree, that were not this year admitted.

Bach. of Law.

Four in the Civil, and eight in the Canon, Law were admitted. Nine in the Civil, and five in the Canon, Law supplicated for that degree. One was admitted Bach. of both the Laws, and one to the Volumes.

One Hen. Rawlyns occurs Bach. of the Civil Law this year, but his Admission is omitted; and therefore all that I can say of him is, that he became Archdeacon of Salisbury 10 Apr. 1524, upon the death of James Bromwich, who had that dignity confer'd upon him 2 March 1523, after the decease of George Sydenham. This H. Rawlyns who was Prebendary of Faringdon, and had been thrice Preb. of Combe and Harnham, in the said Church, within the space of four years, was made at the same time (10 Apr. 1524.) Preb. of Husborne and Burbach in the said Church of Sarum. He was al∣so dignified in the Church of Wells.

Mast. of Arts.

Oct. 13. Hugh Aston, Ashtyn or Ashton, so many ways I find him written.—He became Archdeacon of York, that is, of the Westriding of Yorkshire, upon the resignation of Brian Hygden, in Sept. 1516, and dying in Decemb. 1522, was succeeded in that dignity by Tho. Winter in the year following, as I shall tell you un∣der the year 1525. I have made mention of one Hugh Aston a Mu∣sitian, in Will. Forest among the Writers, under the year 1558.

Mar. 8. Thom. Makerel of Vniv. Coll.—One Dr. Makerel Prior of Berlings in Lincolnshire headed the Commons of that County under the Name of Capt. Cobler when they rose against the King in 1536, upon the beginning of the desolution of Religious Houses, or, as some say, because they would not pay a certain Tax. Whe∣ther this Tho. Makerel be the same I cannot tell, till I know the Christian Name of the Doctor. John Stow saith that Dr. Makerel, an Abbat and a Suffragan Bishop, was drawn and hang'd at Ty∣bourne about 29 March 1537, for denying the Kings Supremacy; which I suppose is the same with him who was Prior of Berlings, and the same perhaps who was incorporated Doctor of Cambridge 1516.

Besides these two, were eleven more that were admitted, and four that supplicated, that were not admitted, this year.

Opponents in Div.

May 10. Peter de Campo, a Portuguese.

Dec. 10. Walt. Goodfield a Minorite.—See under the year 1510.

Feb. 6. Gerardus Smyth a Minorite.—and others of no great account, besides five at least that supplicated for that degree.

Doct. of the Civ. Law.

Apr…. John Cockys or Cocks of Alls. Coll.—This year I find him Principal of George Hall in S. Maries Parish, and in 1509 War∣den or Rector of the Church of Elmely in Kent, upon the resig∣nation of Will. Broke Doct. of Decrees. Afterwards he was Princi∣pal of Henxsey Hall in S. Aldates Parish, (a place for Civilians) Principal or chief Moderator or Professor of the Civil Law School in the Parish of St. Edward, and Dean of the Arches. He died in Febr. 1545.

William Parker and Thom. Maket Bachelaurs of the Civ. Law supplicated to be licensed to proceed in that Faculty, but were not admitted.

Thom. Myllyng Bach. of the Canon Law, supplic. also to be Dr. of that Fac. but not admitted.

Doct. of Div.

Oct…. Thom. Charde Abbat of Foord in Devon.—On the se∣cond of the same Month he did really proceed, being then stiled (as 'tis entred in the public Register of this time) Vir magna do∣ctrina & virtute clarus. He was born at Aulescombe in the said County, and educated in S. Bernard's Coll. (now S. John Baptist) to which place being afterwards a Benefactor, his Memory was

there preserv'd, as a token of it, in several of the glass Windows of that House, particularly in a middle Chamber Window on the South side of the Tower over the common Gate of that Coll. where was (if not still) his Name contracted in golden Letters (as the fashion was lately on Coaches) in an Escocheon Sable, and hath behind it, paleways, an Abbats Crosier. He founded, as 'tis said, an Hospital at Honyton in his own Country, and repaired, built, and adorned much of his Monastery, which, I think, he lived to see dissolved.

Mar…. Thom. Brynknell of Linc. Coll.—He stood in the Act on the 13. of the same Month, at which time the Professor of Div. or Commissary, did highly commend him for his Learning.

Those that supplicated this year to be Doctors of Div. were (1.) Humph. Wystow, sometimes of Alls. Coll. whom I shall mention under the year 1509. (2.) John Maynard a Benedictine; see in an. 1502. (3.) Clem. Lychfeld another Benedictine, mention'd un∣der the same year. (4.) Tho. Anyden or Anyday B. of Div. and a Minorite. (5.) Rob. Burton a Minorite also, and Prior or Gardian of the College of Minorites or Franciscans, commonly called Grey Fryers, in the South Suburb of Oxon, who had studied Divinity in this, and the University of Cambridge, 20 years.

Incorporations.

May 4. James Mallet, Master of Arts of Cambridge.—This Person was afterwards Canon of Windsore, D. of D. and Master of the Hospital of S. Giles in Great Wycomb in Bucks. But in his lat∣ter days, uttering certain Words which were accounted High Treason, was executed in 1543. The Treason was this; When the News of the great Commotions made by the Commons in several parts of the Nation, upon, or after, the dissolution of Religious Houses, he openly said, Then hath the King brought his Hogs to a fair Market.

Rob. Fisher a Doctor beyond the Sea, did supplicate to be in∣corporated May 10, but he is not registred as admitted. He af∣terwards was beneficed in Somersetshire.

Thom. Scarysbrigg of Mert. Coll. Doct. of Div. beyond the Seas also, did in like manner supplicate 20 Jan. but I cannot find him actually incorporated.

Creations,

Or such that have degrees confer'd upon them without perform∣ing any exercise for the same, and sometimes (especially if Noble∣men) without paying of Fees.

Jan. 29. It was then granted to James Stanley Bishop of Ely, that he might be created Doctor of Decrees by a Cap put on his head, by William Archbishop of Canterbury and Richard Bishop of London; which accordingly was by them performed with solem∣nity, at, or near to, London.

It was also granted on the same day to Mr. John Rede Master of Arts, Bach. of Div. and Warden of Wykeham's Coll. near Win∣chester, that he might be created D. of D. by a Cap put on his head by Dr. Fauntleroy the Commissary, the Proctors, and two Masters. Whether performed, I cannot justly say, because in the year 1511 he supplicated for the degree of D. of D. He had been Tutor to Prince Arthur, was then Canon of Chichester, af∣terwards Warden of New Coll. in Oxon. and Master of the Hospi∣tal of S. Mary Magd. near Winchester.

Of which Proctors having spoken largely elsewhere, I shall only now say, that they were afterwards Servants to, and in favour with, Cardinal Wolsey; the senior of them being Steward of his Houshold, and the junior Controller of his Buildings in Oxon.

Grammarians,

Or such who were admitted to inform and teach in the Fa∣culty of Grammar.

March 17. William Beaumond stiled in our Registers Disertus vir, & vir doctus.—After he had been admitted by the Commissary to instruct Youths in Grammar, he delivered into his hands a Fer••∣la and Rod, as badges of his Office, to be used by his Authority. For at this time, and beyond all memory, no person in this Xing∣dom could teach Grammar publickly, until he had first been gra∣duated in, or authorized by, either of the Universities.

Bach. of Musick.

Feb. 12. John Mason.—He was now much in esteem for his Profession.

This year Dec. 12. John Scherman a secular Chaplain and a Stu∣dent in Musick, supplicated the ven. Congregation that he might be admitted Bach. of that Faculty. Whether he was admitted it appears not.

q 1.16

Bach. of Arts.

Oct. 23. John Redman or Redmayne.—One of both his Names was Archdeacon of Taunton, and Prebendary of Milverton in the Church of Wells; in which Dignities he was succeeded by John Fitzjames 1554, as I shall tell you in 1524. See in the year 1543.

Jan. 18. Marmaduke Bona alias Lindsey.—I shall mention him elsewhere.

Jan. 29. John Moreman of Exeter Coll.—He was afterwards Dean of the Cath. Ch. at Exeter.

Besides these, were about 32 more admitted, and about 27 who supplicated for the said degree, but were not admitted this year.

Bach. of the Civ. Law.

Nov. 5. Thom. Bedell of New Coll.—In June 1533 he became Archdeacon of Clievland in the place of Dr. James Denton; which Dignity he resigning in Aug. following, Will. Clyffe LL. D. succeed∣ed. About which time Bedell became Archdeacon of Cornwal, and soon after was appointed one of the Commissioners (Rich. Layton LL. D. and Tho. Barthlet public Notary being two other) to visit Religious Houses in order to their dissolution.

Besides Th. Bedell were thirteen admitted, and eight that sup∣plicated, that were not admitted this year.

Fifteen also were admitted Bac. of Can. Law, and eleven sup∣plicated that were not admitted.

Mast. of Arts.

About fifteen were admitted, and about ten supplicated to be admitted, but were not. Among all which, I cannot yet find any one that was afterwards a Bishop, a Writer, Dignitary, or Man of note.

Bach. of Div.

July—Thomas Beel a Canon Regular of the Order of S. Austin, and Prior of the Students of that Order living in S. Maries Coll.— See more among the D. of D. an. 1514.

Oct. 17. Fr. John Howden a Dominican.

Jan. 16. James Dickson, M. A.

Feb. 1. Fr. Rob. Osbourne a Carme.

Which two last are several times mentioned in the public Re∣gister to be Clari & perdocti viri.

Besides these were about thirteen that supplicated for the said degree, but not admitted this year; among whom was Will. Gylling∣ham of the Order of S. Benedict, who succeeded Rob. Holyngbourne in the Guardianship or Wardenship of Canterbury Coll. in Oxon. about this year.

Doct. of Law.

Not one, either in the Canon or Civ. Law, was licensed to proceed this year.

In the Canon Law were three that supplicated to be Doctors, viz. David Talley Abbat of Tally in the dio•• of S. David, Will. Wol∣lur, and John Lacy, all Bachelaurs of that Faculty. In the Civil Law was only one, whom I shall mention the next year.

Doct. of Physick.

Nov. 3. Rich. Barthlet mention'd under the year 1503, supplica∣ted that he might be licensed to proceed in Physick; but whe∣ther he was admitted, or did really proceed, or stood in the Act, it doth not, by the neglect of the Registrary, appear in the Regi∣ster of this, or of any year following—He was about this time admitted by the Name of Dr. Rich. Barlot into the Coll. of Physi∣tians in London, and some years after was made President thereof. He died about the latter end of the year 1556, being then possessed of Lands in Cudesdon and Denton in Oxfordshire, and was buried in the Church of Great S. Bartholomew in London. In the Annals of the Coll. of Physitians before-mention'd, is this Character left of him, by the famous Dr. Jo. Cay of Cambridge,—

This good and venerable old man (very famous for his Learning, great Know∣ledge and Experience in Physick) died in the 87 year of his Age; at whose Funeral the President and College attended, it being the first time that the Statute Book of the College, adon∣ed with Silver,

was carried before the President.—He the said Dr. Bartlet did bequeath to Allsoules College (his tender Pa∣rent) his Bason and Ewre of Silver, and to his Brother Edm. Bart∣let and his Children of Castel Moreton in Worcestershire several con∣siderable Legacies.

Doct. of Div.

Not one was admitted or licensed to proceed, or stood in the public Comitia, which we usually call the Act.

John Mylford a Benedictine and Bac. of Div. (4.) Nicholas Bradbridge M. A. and Fell of Mert. Coll. Which last was afterwards D. of D. and Chancellor of the Cath. Church of Lincoln. He died 14 March 1532, and was buried in the said Cath. Ch. See among the Incor∣porations in 1526.

In 1529 he was made Prebendary of Wetwang in the said Church of York, and in 1532 Dean of the Coll. in Oxon. founded by King Henry 8. on the site of that of Cardi∣nal; in which year dying, he was succeeded by Dr. John Oliver in the said Deanery.

Hallesworth Doctor of Decrees, who succeeded Tho. Alcock LL. D. in that office 1508, and Alcock, Tho. Wodyngton Dr. of Dec. 1503. In 1522. (14 Hen. 8.) I find the said Tho. Hanyball to be living in Rome in the quality of the King of Englands Orator, and in

that of Agent or Factor for Cardinal Wolsey: to the last of which he ever and anon gave an account by Letters of the Affairs of Rome. In one dated 13 Dec. 1522, he told the Cardinal, that his Holiness hath sent for Erasmus Rot. under a fair colour by his brief; and if he come not, I think (saith he) the Pope will not be content, &c. In 1524 the said Dr. Hanyball was made Master of the Rolls in the place of Dr. John Clerke; which honorable Office he keeping till 1528, was succeeded therein by Dr. John Taylor, of whom I shall speak at large in 1522.

Principal of Henxsey Hall, and in 1524 he be∣came Vicar General to the Bishop of B. and Wells by the death of Roger Church Dec.

Nov. 18. William Latymer Bach. of Art of this University, and Mast. of Arts beyond the Seas, was then incorporated M. of A.— Perhaps this William Latymer may be the same whom I have men∣tioned among the Writers under the year 1545; where you 'll find another Will. Latymer who was Dean of Peterborough.

This year also supplicated to be concorporated (1) John Buke D. D. beyond the Seas, (2) John Dolman Dr. of Civ. Law of Cam∣bridge, (3) Charles Lucy Bach. of Phys. of Cambridge; but whether any of them were accordingly incorporated, I cannot yet find. I think Dolman was, because his Supp. was granted simpliciter.

There was also a Supplication made that Richard Mayster M. A. and Proctor of the University of Cambridge, might be incorpora∣ted; but whether granted, I know not. I take this Rich. Mayster to be the same with him who was a Native of Maidstone in Kent, and Fellow of Kings College in Cambridge, where he was esteemed an excellent Philosopher, and the same who was afterwards Bac. of Div. and Parson of Adlington in Kent, and much concern'd in the matter of Eliz. Barton the holy Maide of Kent.

Doct. of Div.

June… Thomas Ryngstede Monk of S. Edmunds Bury, now a Student in Glocester Coll.—Two of both his Names have been eminent Authors: one was a Dominican, living in the Reign of K. Edw. 4. the other LL. D. and in great esteem during the Reign of K. Hen. 6. In my searches also I find one Richard Ringsted a Benedictin, who was Prior of the Novices living in Gloc. College in this University 30 Hen. 6. Dom. 1452, and Author of Commen∣taria super 29 Capitula parabolorum Salomonis, MS. in Bodl. libr. int. lib. med. 121. The beginning is, In absconditis parabolorum conver∣sabitur, &c.

On the 18. of December died Will. Gilberd Bach. of Arts of Magd. Coll. who, in his Epitaph in the Chappel of the said Coll. is stiled Archidiaconus Salopiae; but the day and year when he was admit∣ted Bach. of Arts, appears not in the public Registers. In a cer∣tain Writinga 1.19 dated 24 March 1515, (which is a quarter of an year after W. Gilberd died) I find one Mr. Henry Marten to occur Archdeacon of Salop, together with Mr. William Webbe Archdea∣con of Hereford and William Porter Chaunter thereof; so that I suppose that the said Marton succeeded in that Dignity William Gilberd.

Doct. of Musick.

Robert Perrot Bach. of Musick, and about this time Organist of Magd. College, supplicated that he might be licensed to proceed in the said Faculty.—His request was granted conditionally that he compose a Mass and one Song, before he really proceed. or stand in the Comitia; but whether he was admitted or licensed to proceed, it doth not appear in the Register. This Robert Perrot, who was the second Son of George Perrot of Haroldston near Haver∣ford West in Pembrokeshire (of an ancient and knightly Family li∣ving there) was an eminent Musitian of his time, and did com∣pose several Church Services and other Matters, which have been since antiquated. He was a Benefactor to the said College, as his Widow, and his eldest Son Simon afterwards were, and is An∣cestor to the Perrots of North-Ley in Oxfordshire, I mean to that Family of the Perrots, (for there are two that live there) who are called Gentlemen Perrots. He gave way to Fare 20 April 1550, and was buried in the North Isle or Alley joyning to the Church of S. Peter in the East in Oxon.

Bach. of Civ. Law.

Dec. 13. Fr. Will. Wetherall Prior of the College of the Fryers of the Order of S. Austin the Hermit in Oxon. In the year 1531 I find that he was Provincial of the Austin Fryers of England; and whether he was the last that bore that Office, I know not. He is sometimes written, but falsely, Wodiall.—See among the Incor∣porations this year.

Jan…. Edmund Smythesby a Canon regular of the Order of S. Austin.—In another place in the Register, he is said among the Bach. of Div. to be a Fryer of the Order of S. Austin.

Besides these who were admitted Doctors of Divinity, supplica∣ted for the said dagree about 20; among whom were (1) Will. Malvern Lord Abbat of S. Peters in Glocester, as the publick Regi∣ster stiles him, whom I take to be the same that Jo. Lelandb 1.20 calls Malvern alias Parker late Abbat of Glocester, who made a Chappel joyning to the Church of Glocester to be buried in. (2) Rob. Showld∣ham or Shulde••m mentioned under the year 1511.

Dr. he was made Subdean of Wells, and Vicar General to the Bishop thereof. He had other Preferments in the Cath. Church of S.

Thomas Garret was this year admitted, but the Month or Day when, appears not, because the Register is imperfect; however in the year following he occurs by the Title of Bach. of Arts.—He was afterwards Curate of Honey-lane in London; and being much addicted to the Opinions of Martin Luther, went to Oxon in 1526, and dispersed divers prohibited Books among his Acquaintance and Contemporaries, as Anth. Delaber of S. Albans Hall, afterwards a Civilian of Gloc. College, Nich. Vdall and John Diot both of C C C. John Clerke, Hen. Summer, Will. Betts, John Taverner a Musitian, of Card. Coll. &c. All which being Lutherans, or Hereticks as they were then called, suffer'd much. At length Thomas Garret, after several Flights from place to place, Sculkings and Imprisonments, was burnt in Smithfield near London, with Dr. Robert Barnes and William Hierome, an. 1541, as John Fox, in his Book of Acts and Monuments of the Church, will at large tell you.

Between the ending of one Register and the beginning of ano∣ther, are the Acts of the Congregation of this year wanting, many of which were torn out from the former.

Mast. of Arts.

Their Admissions being all wanting in the public Register, I therefore recurred to my MS. Book of Inceptions, and there found that 30 Masters stood in the public Act or Comitia, but none can I yet find, who were afterwards Bishops, Writers, or Men of note.

Feb…. Ralph Barnack of New Coll.

A Supplication was this year made for one Will. Woddysbury a Monk of the Order of S. Benedict, but whether for the degree of Bach. or Doct. of Divinity, it appears not, because the Register of this year, as I have told you, is imperfect. He was elected Lord Prior of Worcester in 1515, in the place of Thom. de Mildenham deceased; and dying in 1518, he was succeeded by one William More, who resigning upon a foresight of Ruin, Hen. Holbeach alias Randes, was elected Prior 13 March 1535, and afterwards became the first Dean of Worcester.

He was afterwards Provisor or Prefect of that Coll. and an Abbat (perhaps of Buckfast in Devonshire) as may seem by his Arms, or Rebus of his Name, now or lately in one of the middle Chamber Windows of S. Bernards, now called S. John Bapt. Coll. wherein is a Crosier thrust thro a Bucks face palewaies.

Feb…. Thomas Wellys or Wells Master of Arts of this University and Doctor of Divinity elsewhere.—Whether he be the same with Thomas Wellys mention'd in the Incorporations under the year 1510, I know not.

This year, the month I cannot tell, I find that there was a kind of a Supplicate made for one Magnus a Doctor beyond the Sea, to be incorporated here, but in what Faculty, I cannot yet discover. This Person was the same with Thomas Magnus who was a Foundling at Newark upon Trent in Nottinghamshire, and had the Sirnamea 1.22 of Among us given to him, as being maintained among certain People there; or, as some say, by certain Yorkshire Clothiers, who occasionally travelled that way early in the Morning and first found him. At length be∣ing brought up in Literature in one of the Universities in England, became so much noted to King Henry 8. that he was by him not only promoted to several Dignities, but sent Embassador into various Countries; whereupon he was, by the generality of People, called Dr. Magnus, and by some Magnus Doctor.

Among several Embassies that he was employed in, was that into Scotland an. 1524, where he was employed as the Kings Agent to procure his business, and to encline the young Kings eat towards him, as also to give intelligence, &c. Among the Dignities he enjoyed were (1) The Archdeaconry of the East-Riding of York∣shire, to which he was collated in June, 1504 upon the promotion of Dr. Richard Mayhew to the See of Hereford. (2) The Sacrist∣ship of the Chappel of our Lady and the holy Angels at York, to which he was collated in Dec. the same year. (3) A Canonry in the Church of Windsore, an. 1520, which he resigning in the lat∣ter end of 1547 was succeeded by Dr. Richard Cox. (4) The Ma∣stership of the hospital of St. Leonard at York, &c. And among the benefices he had, was the rectory of Bedall in Yorkshire one. To∣wards his latter end he founded a Free-school in the place of his nativity, which he well endowed; and paying his last debt to na∣ture at Sesay or Sessay in Yorkshire 27. Aug. or thereabouts, in 1550, was buried in the Church there. Whereupon John Dakyn LL. D. was installed in his Archdeaconry of the East-riding, 13. April 1551. I have seen a copy of his last Will and Test. dated 8. March 1549. and proved 30. Apr. 1551, wherein he desires that if he dye at his house at Sybthorp, or nigh those parts, to be buried in the Trinity Isle of the Church of Newark upon Trent, afore the midst of the altar there, for there he was baptized, &c. He makes mention therein of his singular good Lord and Master Savage sometimes Archbishop of York and his singular good Lord the Earl of Wilts. and Lord Trea∣surer of England.

Jul. 8. John Mason, about this time Probationer-Fellow of All∣souls Coll. was then admitted.—He was born at a mercate town called Abendon in Berks, the son of a Cowherd, by his Wife, the Sister of a Monk at that place. Which last Person finding him ve∣ry apt to learn, he caused him to be trained up in Grammaticals and Academicals in this University, where he obtained for him a Fel∣lowship in the said Coll. of Alls. Soon after, his pregnant and acute parts being taken notice of by great Persons, he was upon the mo∣tion of Sir Thomas More, sent by the King to the University of Pa∣ris to be accomplished with other parts of learning. After his re∣turn thence, he became a favourite to K. Hen. 8. who employed him in several Embassies and made him one of his Privy Council. After that Kings death he was made a Privy-counsellour to K. Ed. 6. and tho he was a Knight, and a perfect Lay-man, yet he enjoyed several Church Dignities, or as onea 1.23 saith, he was a great intru∣der into Ecclesiastical Livings. Among which the Deanery of Win∣chester Cathedral was one, installed therein, in the place of William Kingesmyll the last Prior of St. Swithins Monastery there, and the first Dean of the said Cathedral, in the third of Ed. 6. Dom. 1549. In 1552 he succeeded Dr. Richard Coxe in the Chancellourship of this University: which honourable office he keeping till 1556, did then resign it purposely to make room for Cardinal Pole then designing to visit, and to do great matters for, it. He was also a Privy Counsellour to Queen Mary, and much respected by her, but did not hold any Ecclesiastical Dignity in her Reign, as I can yet learn. For giving up the Deanery of Winchester in the first year of her Reign, Dom. 1553. Edmund Steward LL. D. of Cambridge, was then installed, and kept it till 1559. After her death, he be∣came a Privy Counsellour to Queen Elizabeth, and in 1559 was elected Chanc. of this University again, being then Treasurer of the Queens Chamber, and Master of the Hospital in Abendon, (the erection of which he had before procured, as also the Incorporation of that Town) but whether a possessor of any Dignity in the Church in her Reign, I find not. He paid his last debt to nature 20. Apr. 1566, and was buried in the North Chancel, or the North Isle joyning to the Chancel of the Cathedral Ch. of St. Paul in London; whereupon Sir Franc. Knollis Knight succeeded him in the Treasurer∣ship of the Qu. Chamber. Soon after was a large Epitaph set over his grave; which, tho since consumed, yet his memory lives among the learned Men in the Encomiab 1.24 illustrium virorum, penned by John Leland.

Thomas Runcorne—He was afterwards made Provost of the Collegiat Church of St. Elizabeth (Daughter of the King of Hungary) founded in the time of Ed. 1. in the meadow of St. Ste∣phen, situate before, and opposite to, the gates of Wolvesey Castle near to Winchester. This Thomas Runcorne surrended the said Coll. into the hands of K. Hen. 8. and thereupon he was made one of the first Prebendaries of the Cath. Church of Winchester. Afterwards the King granted the said Coll. and its site to Thomas Lord Wri∣th••ousley, who sold it to the Warden and Fellows of Wykeham's Coll. near to Winchester for 360 l. provided that they either make the Church there a Grammar School for 70 Persons to be taught therein, or to pull it down to the ground before Penticost an. 1547. Which last they did sooner than the first, because it should not be prejudicial to their School. This Thomas Runcorne was a learned Man, and among the learned Men of his time is he remembred by Leland in his Encomia beforemention'd, p. 67.

Bach. of Div.

Dec. 7. Father Richard Stopys or Stopes Abbat of Meaux or Melsa in Yorkshire of the Cistercian Order, now studying in St. Bernards College.

Jul. 3. Thomas Moscroff or Musgrave of Mert. Coll.—In 1522 he was Card. Wolseys Physick reader in, and in 1523 he was Com∣missary of, the University, being then a Student in Divinity; and on the eleventh of March the same year he did supplicate the ven. Congregation of Regents, that it might be dispensed with him from circuiting and certain exercises preceding, if so be it should hap∣pen that he should be admitted to the reading of the Sentences. The reason for this was because he was Commissary, and that it did not become a Doctor to circuit for an inferior Degree. This supplication was granted conditionally that he Preach a Sermon in the Church of St. Peter in the East. Afterwards, his exercise be∣ing all performed, as twice answering in the Schools and 4 times Preaching in St. Maries Ch. (all done in the space of one year) he was admitted to the reading of the Sentences, that is to the De∣gree of Bach. of Divinity by Dr. John Young Bishop of Callipolis and Warden of New Coll. in the presence of 8 Doctors of Divinity. In 1527 he would have proceeded in that faculty, but was prevent∣ed by death.

16. John Crayford M. A. of Cambridge—He had been lately of Qu. Coll. in that University, from whence being ejected he went to Oxon. and was made Fellow of Vniv. College. See in 1546. among the Incorporations.

In January one Edward Pennant Bach. of Can. Law of Cambridge supplicated to be incorporated, but whether granted I find not. See more in Hen. Morgan among the Bishops.—One John Pennant

Doct. of Dec. and Chancellour to the Bishop of Bathe and Wells was constituted by him the said Bishop his Vicar General in the begin∣ning of June 1526, and dyed in Apr. or May 1529.

This year, but the day or month I know not, was a supplicate made in the behalf of Richard Sampson sometimes of Trin. hall in Cambridge, to be incorporated LL. D. but whether he was so, it appears not, and therefore I shall only say these matters of him, that he had that Degree conferr'd upon him beyond the Seas, was incorporated at Cambridge the last year, was installed Dean of Windsore by proxy 14. Nov. 1523, being then in remote parts about the Kings affairs; made Dean of St. Pauls Cathedral about 1530, Dean of Lichfield in 1532, Treasurer of the Church of Sarum, 16. Mar. 1534, Bishop of Chichester in 1536, translated thence to Lichfield in 1543, and published several books, which shew him to have been a learned Man, the titles of which you may see in the Oxford Catalogue. He did at Eccleshall in Staffordshire (the seat belonging to the B. of Lichfield) on the 25. Sept. 1554.

In like manner was such another supplicate made for Gamaliel Clifton Doctor of Decrees, Canon of Windsore and the Kings Chap∣lain, but no appearance there is that he was really incorporated. He was afterwards Dean of Hereford, and dying in 1541, had for his successor in that Deanery, if I mistake not, Dr. Hugh Curwyn, who before had Preached zealously for the Kings divorce from Queen Catherine.

Seventy in all, or more, were admitted, and about 22 supplica∣ted for the said Degree, who were not admitted.

This year was a supplicate made for George Carew (of Broadgates hall as it seems) to have the Degree of Bach. of Arts conferr'd on him, but whether he was really admitted, having spent about 4 years in the University, it appears not. This Person being the younger Son of a Baron, (descended from the Carews of Pembrok∣shire) retired afterwards to the royal Court, and married, but soon after burying his Wife to his great grief, travelled beyond the Seas, and improved his knowledge as to Men and Manners very much. After his return, he took holy Orders, was made Archdeacon of Totness, and if I mistake not, either Prebend or Canon of Exeter. In 1552 he was constituted Dean of Bristow in the place of one John Whiteheare, who, in the year before, had succeeded William Snow the first Dean; and in the beginning of July 1555 was made Preb. of Ilfarcomb in the Church of Salisbury. In the beginning of Aug. 1556 he was made Preb. of Netherbury in Ecclesia in the same Church; and in the same year, notwithstanding he had been de∣prived of the Prebendship of Barton in the Ch. of Wells, an. 1554, (1. and 2. of Ph. and Mar.) yet he was made Preb. of Dultingcote in the same Church, on the resignation of William Thynne, and double beneficed in the Dioc. of Wells during the Reign of Queen Mary. On the 27. of Oct. 1558 he became Chaunter of the Church of Salisbury, and in 1559 (Qu. Elizabeth being then in the Throne,) he was made Dean of the Queens Chappel, Dean of Windsore, Dean of Ch. Ch. in Oxon, and about that time Master of the Savoy Hospital. In 1560 he became Dean of Bristow again, upon the going away of Hen. Jolliff, who had enjoyed it most of Qu. Maries Reign, and about the same time was made Dean of Exeter and Re∣ctor of Silverton in Devon. In 1561 he gave up his Deanery of Ch. Ch. and was succeeded therein by Thomas Sampson a Nonconfor∣mist. In 1572 he resigned the Deanery of Windsore, with a Ca∣nonry in that Church, being then succeeded in the former by Will. Day Bach. of Div. and in 1580 he resign'd the Deanery of Bristow, wherein he was succeeded by John Sprint; but when he resign'd that of Exeter, I cannot tell. He finished this mortal life in 1585 aged 85 and was buried in the Church of St. Giles in the fields near London, leaving then behind him a Son named George, afterwards Earl of Totness, and another named Peter, a Knight.

Feb. 4. John Foxe Archdeacon of Winchester—On the same day he was also admitted Bach. of the Can. Law. See more among those following.

Besides these two, were about 22 admitted; among whom was Thomas Day of Alls. Coll. who was afterwards constituted the se∣cond

Canon of Osney, when first founded by K. Hen. 8. and in few years following was by him made the first Canon of the third Pre∣bendship of Ch. Church, at what time Osney was translated there∣unto. He died in Feb. 1567, and was buried on the 22. of the same month in the Cathedral of Ch. Ch.

Bach. of Can. Law.

Jul. 10. Henry Morgan—He was afterwards Bishop of St. Da∣vids.

Feb. 4. John Foxe Archdeacon of the Dioc. of Winchester and Preb. of Roscombe in the Church of Salisbury.—I take him to be the same John Foxe who was afterwards made Fellow of C. C. Coll. by the Founder thereof. For in the Catalogue of Scholars and Fel∣lows of that house made by Rob. Hegge, (whom I have mention'd among the writers under the year 1629.) I find one John Foxe a Londoner born, to be put in Fellow there 1523, being then, or about that time Archdeacon of Surrey, as the said Catalogue tells us. As for Foxe beforemention'd, who was Bach. of Can. Law, being nearly related to Foxe Bishop of Winchester, became Arch∣deacon of that place in 1519 upon the resignation of one Hugh Ash∣ton, and he upon the resignation of John Frost 1511, and he upon the resignation of Rob. Frost, 1502, who succeeded Dr. John Morton that was afterwards Archb. of Canterbury.

Besides these two were about 18 admitted, among whom was Antho. Draycot, besides six or more that supplicated.

On the 2 of June the same year, (he being then dead) Leonard Bilson succeeded him in the Prebendship of Teynton Regis with Yalmeton in the Church of Salisbury.

John Feyter of Alls. Coll. was admitted the same day.

John Trego••well sometimes of Broadgates, afterwards Principal of Vine, hall alias Peckwaters Inn, was admitted also the same day (June 23.)—He was an eminent and learned Man in his profession, and therefore was employed to be Proctor for K. Hen. 8. in that long and costly cause of his divorce from Qu. Catherine; wherein shewing himself very diligent, was by him Knighted, and for an in∣considerable sum of money, had settled on him and his heirs for ever the rich demesne and site of the mitred Abbey of Milton alias Middleton for Benedictine Monks in Dorsetshire. He gave way to fate in the latter end of the year 1564 (7. Elizab.) and was buried in the Church there.

Anthony Draycot lately Principal of White hall (involved after∣wards within the limits of Jesus Coll.) and of Pirye hall adjoyning, was admitted also the same day—In 1542 he was made Archdea∣con of Stow in the place of Edward Darbye sometimes of Linc. Coll. deceased, and in the year following Archdeacon of Huntington in the place of Dr. Richard Gwent deceased. He was Chancellour for a time to Dr. Longland Bish. of Linc. and to Dr. Ralph Bayne Bish. of Lichfield, in which Offices he acted much against the Prote∣stants, as John Fox in his book of Acts and Monuments of the Church &c. will tell you. In the beginning of Qu. Elizabeths Reign he was committed Prisoner to the Fleet, and suffer'd much upon account

of Religion. Nich. Saunders tellsa 1.26 us that one Draycot Archdea∣con of York, was ejected from that Dignity, or left it of his own accord in the beginning of Qu. Elizabeth, but I find no such Man in my Catalogue of Archdeacons of that place, which is punctual∣ly made from the registers of the Church of York.

Doct. of Div.

Jul. 3. Fath. Peter Lee a Monk of the Order of St. Benedict.

This year Jun. 2. Rowland Philips M. of A. supplicated for the Degrees of Bach. and Doctor of Divinity, and was, as it seems, admitted. Soon after, by the power of the Archbishop of Canter∣bury he was thrust in Warden of Merton College. He was now Vicar of Croyden in Surrey, one of the Canons of Pauls, a famous and notable Preacher and a forward Man in the Convocation of the Clergy, an. 1523, in acting and speaking much against the payment of a Subsidie to the King.

Incorporations.

May 2. George Henneage Bach. of the Canon Law of Cambridge, Archdeacon of Oxford and Chaplain to John Bishop of Lincolne.— With him it was then dispensed that he mightb 1.27 uti palliis ac sumptuoso omni vestitu, pellibus ac serico pertinent. In Apr. 1521 he was installed Archdeacon of Oxford on the death of Christoph. Vrswyke, in 1528 he became Dean of Lincolne on the death of John Constable, who dyed 15. July in the same year, and in 1542 Arch∣deacon of Lincolne upon the attainder of Richard Pates, I mean him who was afterwards B. of Worcester. This G. Henneage died in 1549 and was buried in the Cath. Ch. of Linc. near to the tomb of Mr. Sim. Fotherbie, sometimes Chanc. of that Church, directly before the image of the Virgin Mary without her Chappel. In the Arch∣deaconry of Line. succeeded Nich. Bullyngham in Sept. 1549. and the same year succeeded John Tayler D. D. in the Deanery.

Feb. 18. Nich. de Burgo a Minorite, Bach. of Divinity of the University of Paris—He was an Italian born, did succeed Dr. Tho. Brynknell in the reading of Card. Wolsey's Divinity Lecture, lately erected in this University: And when the matter of the di∣vorce of K. H. 8. from Qu. Catherine was in agitation in the Uni∣versity, he shewed himself so forward for it, that the Women of Oxon did not only scold at him publickly, but threw stones after him as he passed along the street. Whereupon complaining of their rude∣ness, thirty of them were the next day imprisoned in Bocardo where they continued 3 days and as many nights. I find one Nicholaus Italus to be Sub-commissary of this University in Aug. 1534. whom I take to be the same with Nich. de Burgo beforemention'd, a very learned Man of his time.

Feb. 19. Nich. Cracher or Kratzer Bach. of Arts of Colen and Wit∣tenburgh.

In the month of May one John Taylor Dr. of Decrees and of the sacred Canons beyond the Seas, having been lately incorporated at Cambridge, supplicated for incorporation in this University, which being granted, he was, as it seems, taken into the bosome thereof— This Person who was Archdeacon of Derby and Bucks. and had been Rector of Sutton Colfield in Warwickshire was Clerk of the Parlia∣ments that sate in 1515. (7. Hen. 8.) and prolocutor of the Convo∣cation of the Clergy that was dissolved 21. Dec. the same year. In which Parliaments and Convocation, arose those most dangerous seditions between the Clergy and Seculars concerning several Eccle∣siastical Liberties. In 1528. the said Dr. Taylor, who had been employed in several Embassies beyond the Seas, succeeded Thomas Hanyball in the Mastership of the Rolls, and dying in 1534, was succeeded in that office by Thomas Cromwell. This Dr. Taylor who was a learned Canonist, and a Statesman, was born (being the Son, I suppose, of a Taylor) in a poor Cottage at Barton, in the Parish of Tatinhills in Staffordshire, and being the eldest of the Tremelli, which his Mother had at one birth, were by command of the King, to whom they were presented* 1.28 as he rode in hunting in that Country, carefully educated in good Letters. Afterwards in gra∣titude to the place that gave him birth, he built a fair Chappel up∣on, or near, the site where the Cottage stood. In his rectory of Sutton Colfield succeeded George Henneage beforemention'd.

Among these must not be forgotten William Hyberden (of Exe∣ter Coll. as it seems) who was admitted 23. Nov. having been be∣fore, as 'tis said in the publick register, Bach. of the Canon Law. He was in these times, and especially after, a most eminent Preach∣er, a Person of great devotion and of devout fasting, and being a most zealous Bigot for the Church of Rome; did, while he was be∣neficed in, or near, Bristow, make it his sole employment to preach against the hereticks, as they were in his time so called, viz. Luther, Melancthon, Zwinglius, John Fryth, William Tindall, Hugh Latimer, &c. When King Ed. 6. reigned, he withdrew, and continued silent as much as he durst, but when Queen Mary came to the Crown, he made it his sole employment to ride about the Country and Preach in every Church, that he approached, against them. See more of him in John Fox his book of Acts and Monuments of the Church, under the year 1555, where you will find him called by him by the name of Hubberdin an old Divine of Oxford.

In the same month of Oct. Richard Wolman Doctor of Decrees of Cambridge and an Archdeacon, supplicated to be incorporated, but whether his supplication was granted it appears not. See more in the Incorporations 1531.

In the beginning of March one William Throckmorton LL. D. beyond the Seas, supplicated also to be incorporated; which was granted simpliciter. In the Chancel of the Church at Shottsbrook in Berks. is an Epitaph for the said Throckmorton, wherein he is stiled Gardianus istius Ecclesiae. Which Church was a Collegiat Church, and valued at the suppression of religious places in the Reign of K. Hen. 8. to be worth 33. l. 18 s. 8 d. per an. He di∣ed 12. Jan. 1535 and was there buried.

About this time studied in Oxon Simon Grynaeus, being then 30 years of age at least: At which time, but especially afterwards, he was well skill'd in the Latin and Greek tongues, in Philoso∣phy and the Mathematick disciplines; and therefore beloved of Erasmus, who honourably mentions him in his* 1.29 Epistles. Theod. Bibliander tells† 1.30 us that he really thinks that in him, Christian piety, all virtues and the muses had taken up their habitation. He hath written several books, the titles of most of which, you may see in the Bodleian Catalogue, and died in the prime of his years 1541.

Doct. of Civ. Law.

June ult. Edwarde Carne or Kerne now or lately Principal of Greek hall in St. Edwards Parish—He was the Son of Howell Carne of Cowbridge in Glamorganshire, by his Wife Cicely Daugh. of William Kemys of Newport; and lineally descended from Thomas Le C••rne second Son of Ithyn King of Gwent.—He was a wise Man, learned in the Civil Law, and afterwards Knighted by the Emperour Charles 5. In 1530 I find him the Kings Orator at Rome to remonstrate to his holiness that the King was not bound by the Law to make his appearance ei∣ther by Person, or by proxy in the Court of Rome, according to a citation which was coming to him for his appearance in the matter of his divorce from Queen Catherine. In the Reign of Queen Mary (who valued him) he was Ambassador there for her, as also for Queen Elizabeth, but when the Pope was stirred with anger, upon the resolution of the last, to expel his power from England, he commandeda 1.31 Sir Edward Carne to lay down his Office of Ambassador, and to take upon him the Government of the English Hospital at Rome. Yet, as 'tis thought by some, this crafty old Knight did voluntary chuse his banish∣ment, out of a burning zeal to the Roman Catholick Religion, and eagerly desired to continue there, (though sent for to come home by the Queen) rather than return to his Country which was then ready to be overspread with Heresie, as he call'd it. He died at Rome on the 14 of the Cal. of Febr. according to the accompt there followed, in 1561 (about which time the Abbat of Martinego the Popes Nuncio was denied entrance in∣to England) and was buried there in the Church belonging to the Monastery of St. Gregory in Coelo. He was always account∣ed the last Ambassadour of the Kings of England to the Pope, till Roger Earl of Castlemain was sent thither by King James 2. an. 1687.

Jim. ult. Richard Gwent of Allsouls College, Principal or Chief Moderator of Canon Law School situated near St. Edwards Church.—He was about this time Archdeacon of Brecknock, afterwards of London, (in the place, as it seems, of one William Clyffe,) Dean of the Arches, and at length in 1542 Archdeacon of Huntingdon, upon the promotion of William Knyght to the See of Bath and Wells. He gave way to sate in 1543 being then Archdeacon of two places at least London and Huntingdon) and was buried in the middle of St. Pauls Cathedral in London. This Person who was a Welsh Man born, was well known to John Leland the Antiquary, who, in his Encomia illustrium & eruditorum virorum in Anglia, doth highly celebrate him, by the name of Richard. Ventanus Juridicus for his virtues and learning.

Feb. 13. Henry Morgan about this time Principal of St. Ed∣wards hall, situated in the Church-yard of St. Edward and near to Canon Law School.—He was afterwards Bishop of St. Da∣vid.

May… William Middleton Doct. of the Civ. Law of the Uni∣versity of Lovaine.

June…Richard Brynckley a Minorite or Franciscan Fryer, Dr. of Divinity of Cambridge, and, as our publick register saith, Ge∣neral Minister of the Minorites throughout England.—His suppli∣cation, which was granted simpliciter, and his incorporation, are set down in the said register under this year (1524) yet per∣using Cambridgeb 1.32 tables containing the names of such who were admitted Doctors of that University, he is put down there, under the year 1527, as being then admitted D. of D. In the said Generalship or Provincialship he succeeded Dr. Henry Standish, (whom I have mention'd among the Writers) and was succeeded by Steph. Baron a Cambridge Man, Confessor to K. Hen. 8. and an eminent Preacher of his time.

This year, but the day or month appears not, was a Supplicate made for one Rowland Lee Doctor of the Canon Law of Cambridge, to be incorporated into that degree; but whether he really was so, I cannot justly tell, his Incorporation having perhaps been ne∣glected to be registred. This Rowl. Lee was the Son of Will. Lee of Morpeth in Northumberland, Treasurer of Barwick, by Isabel his Wife, Daughter and Heir of Andr. Trollop Kt. who, after he had been educated in Academical Learning in S. Nicholas Hostle in Cambridge, became first Chancellour to Dr. Jeffr. Blythe Bishop of Lichfield, and afterwards Prebendary of Corburgh in that Church. At length, for the several Services which he had done to please the unsatiable desire of K. Hen. 8. (one of which was the marry∣ing him to the Lady Anna Bulleyne) was rewarded with the Bi∣shoprick

of Lichfield: to which being elected by the Name and Title of Rowl. Lee Decretorum Doctor, Canonicus & Prebendarius Eccles. Cath. Lichf. was consecrated thereunto 19 Apr. 1534, and on the 8 of May following receivedc 1.33 the Temporalities belong∣ing thereunto. In the year following he was made President of the Marches of Wales, and dying at Shrewsbury 24 Jan. 1543, was buried there. He had a Brother named George, Dean of S. Chadds in Shrewsbury, who dying without issue, as his Brother the Bishop did, the Sister of them named Isabel, Wife of Rog. Fowler of Staffordshire, became Heir to them both.

In the Margin of the said Will, are his Arms painted, viz. Gules a Chevron Ermine between three flower de Lise or, which are not the Arms that that Coll. now give, or own, tho the Society acknow∣ledged him to be their Founder.

Besides these two, were two others that supplicated for the said degree, namely John Worthyall lately Principal of New Inn and Thomas Parker: the last of which, tho I find him not admit∣ted, yet about this time I finde 1.35 him written Decretorum Do∣ctor, Collegiorum de Stafford & de Tomworth Decanus, &c. In 1522 he became Chancellor of the Dioc. of Worcester in the place of Dr. John Bell, who had succeeded Dr. Tho. Hanyball in that Office 1518, and afterwards was made Chancellour of the Church of Sa∣lisbury, in the place of one Edward Farmer; which Dignity he keeping to the time of his death, was succeeded by Rog.

Jul. 13. Tho Ware of Oriel Coll.—Afterwards Provost thereof. He hath this Character given of him by a learnedf 1.36 person, Vir, & vita & eruditione clarissimus. I find another Thom. Ware. who was not a sec. Priest as the former was, but a Monk of the Cistercian Order, and sometimes a Student in S. Bernard's Coll in the North Suburb of Oxon. Afterwards he became the last Abbat of Flaxley in Glocestershire (in the place of Will. Beawdley) and living to see his House dissolved, and himself and his Brethren turn'd out thence, he retired to Aston Rowant near to Thame in Oxfordshire, where spending the remaining part of his days in devotion and retiredness, gave way at length to Fate, in a good old Age, an. 1546, where∣upon his Body was buried in the Yard belonging to the Church there.

These three came to Oxon to be prefer'd in Cardinal Wolsey's Coll. but they proving violent Lutherans, as Cox and Fryth (whom I shall anon mention) did, were forced to leave that College. John Fryer was, upon account of Religion, committed Prisoner to the Master of the Savoy, where he did much solace himself with playing on the Lute, having good skill in Musick; for which rea∣son, a Friend of his would needs commend him to the Master, but the Master answered, Take heed, for be that playeth is a Devil, because he is departed from the Catholick Faith. Afterwards he was set at liberty, and travelling beyond the Seas, he returned to that Religion wherein he was educated, was made Doctor of Phy∣sick, and after his Return, he setled in the Parish of S. Martin Out∣wich in Bishopsgate street in London, where dying in the Winter time, an. 1563, was buried in the Church there. He, with

Hen. Sumner and Richard Coxe, had been bred in Kings Coll. in Cambridge▪ and were esteemed excellent Scholars; but as for Flo∣rentius a Dominican, John Akers, and Mich. Drumm, who came with them, I know nothing, only the two last took the degrees in Arts here, and Drumm one in Divinity.

This year, but the month or day I know not, was a Supplicat made in behalf of one Tho. Winter to be Bach. of Arts; but whe∣ther he was admitted, I cannot, in all my searches, find. This Tho. Winter who was Nephew (or rather nat. Son) to Cardinal Tho. Wolsey, had several Dignities confer'd upon him before he was of Age, by the means of the said Cardinal: among which was the Archdeaconry of York, or of the West Riding of Yorkshire, on the death of Hugh Ashton, in which he was installed 31 August 1523, being about that time Chancellour of the Church of Sarum in the place of one William Wilton: also the Deanery of Wells, in the place of Dr. William Cosin sometimes Fellow of Kings College an. 1525; and upon the death of Thomas Dalby, (which was in January the same year) he had not only the Provostship of Beverley confer'd upon him, but also the Archdeaconry of Rich∣mond; in which last he was installed 24 of Mar. the same year, &c. This Tho. Winter, with several others, after they had been main∣tained in the Schools at Oxon by the Cardinal, were also by him maintained in the University of Paris, to obtain, if possible, profi∣ciency in such Arts and Sciences which our Universities in England could not yield. The Governor or Tutor to Tho. Winter was Tho. Lupset of Corp. Ch. Coll in this University, to whom, as also to Winter, the Cardinal would write that the said Winter should study the Dunces Logick Questions, meaning, I suppose, the Logick Que∣stions of John Dunse. In the Schools at Paris I find him conver∣sant in 1528, and what degree, or degrees, he took there, I can∣not tell. Sure I am, that about the time of the Cardinals fall, he gave up all or most of his Dignities; for about 1530 Dr. Richard Wolman succeeded him in the Deanery of Wells; and in Decemb. 1529, Will. Knyght LL. D. succeeded in the Archdeaconry of Richmond, and Edw. Lee in the Chancellourship of Sarum in Feb. following. As for the Archdeaconry of York, he keeping it till 1540, then resigned it; whereupon Tho. Westby, Bac. of Div. was installed therein 26 June the same year; and whether he conti∣nued to be the last Provest of Beverley, I cannot in truth tell. The Arms, with which he sealed, did very much resemble those of Cardinal Wolsey, as it appears in the Office of Arms.

Bach. of Civ. Law.

July 2. William Petre of Alls. Coll.

Feb…. Rob. Geffry.—In 1531 he entred himself into the Soc. of the Brethren of the Order of S. Austin the Hermite.

Will. Petre before mention'd, was admitted Bach. of the Canon, just after he had been admitted Bach. of the Civil, Law.—See more under the Doctors of the Civil Law, an. 1532.

Mast. of Arts.

June 27. John Pollard—This person, who was afterwards at least twice Proctor of the University, became Archdeacon of Wilt∣shire on the death of Edw. Finch, 15 Jan. 1538, and Prebendary of Husborne and Burbach in the Church of Salisbury on the death of Hen. Iden, 25 Sept. 1556, &c.

Nov. 9. John Pekyns of Exeter Coll.—The Records of that House saith, that he was Proctor of the University, Canon of Westminister, Bach. of Div. and a Dignitary, &c.

Feb. 25. Alexand. Belsire of New Coll.—He was afterwards the first Canon of Osney, the first Canon of the fourth Prebendship of Ch. Ch. and the first President of S. John's Coll. but whether Bach. of Div. it appears not in our Registers that are in the latter end of K. Hen. 8. and all the time of K. Ed. 6. very imperfect.

Besides these three were about 23 admitted, and about 5 that supplicated, among whom Nich. Vdall of C. C. Coll. was one.

Bach. of Div.

June 10. Fath. Will. Basyng a Benedictine.

26. John Holyman of New Coll.

Fath. Rich. Talley a Cistercian, was admitted the same day.—One David Talley I have mention'd under the year 1508.

28. Frat. Edm. Bricot a Minorite.

Jul. 3. Fath. Job. Lawerne or Lorne a Ben. Monk of Worcester, afterwards one of the first Prebendaries there. He died 1551. Besides the said John Lawerne I find another of both his names, who was a Benedictin also, a Monk of Worcester, educated in Phi∣losophicals and Theologicals in Glocester Coll. within this Univer∣sity; and at length was Doctor of Divinity. He hath written (1) Actus contra quatuor peccata, (2) Benedictiones & laudationes in vesperiis Oxon, (3) Variarum rerum Epistolae, and (4) Quaedam chro∣mice. All which I have seen bound together in one Vol. with this note following at the end, Expliciunt lectiones ordinariae Mri. Joh. Lawerne S. pag. Professoris, editae & publicè lectae in Scholis Theologiae Oxon. an. dom. 1448 & 49.

Feb. 18. Fr. Edw. Baskervyle a Minorite.—He was afterwards Gardian of the Coll. of Minorites or Franciscans in the South Suburb of Oxon.

Besides these were about 8 admitted, and 10 at least that suppli∣cated.

On the 12 of June this year Will. Knyght M. A. supplicated the ven. Congregation to be admitted Bach. of Div. and the next month supplicated to proceed in the same Faculty; but whether either of them were granted, it appears not. This Will. Knyght I take to be the same with him who was elected probat. Fellow of Mert. Coll. in 1503, and not Will. Knyght who was a Civilian of New Coll. and afterwards Bishop of Bath and Wells.

Doct. of Can. Law.

Jan. 28. John Voysey or Veysey.

For the same degree John Southwode did supplicate, but was not admitted this year.

Feb. 27. Fr. John Perrot (sometimes written Porret) a Minorite, Gardian or Prior of the Coll. of Minorites or Franciscans, common∣ly called Grey Fryers, at Bostom in Lincolnshire.—I find one John Perrot to have succeeded Martin Collyns in the Chantorship of York in Oct. 1503. a little before which time (in Sept.) the said Col∣lyns became Treasurer of the Church there, on the death of Hugh Trotter D. D. who had been also Provost of the Church at Beverley. But the said John Perrot being a sec. Priest, must not be understood to be the same with him who was a Minorite.

Feb. 27. Fr. Thom Kyrkham a Minorete, Gardian of the Coll. of Minorites at Doncaster in Yorkshire.—He was afterwards a very zea∣lous man against the Divorce of King Hen. 8. from Q. Catherine.

Feb…. Rich. Warham Doctor of the Civil Law of the Univer∣sity of Orleans in France.—He is stiled in one of oura 1.37 Registers Archdeacon of Canterbury; but he that enjoyed that Dignity now, was Will. Warham, and therefore there is a mistake in the Chri∣stian name.

Jan. 16. Tho. Goldwell—He was afterwards B. of St. Asaph.

In all about 62, who were this year admitted.

Bach. of Civ. Law.

Feb. 18. Will. Bennet—I take this Person to be the same Will. Bennet who became Archdeacon of Dorset upon the consecra∣tion of John Stokesley to the See of London, 20. Dec. 1530, and the same who about that time was constituted the Kings Orator to go to Rome to expedite the matter of Divorce from his Consort Qu. Catherine. I find him there in 1532, as by the dates of his let∣ters sent thence to the English Court, appears: And in the year following, being dead, Edward Fox (who was afterwards Bishop of Hereford) succeeded him in his Archdeaconry, 24. Nov. 1533. See another W. Bermet among the Bach. of Arts, an. 1512. and ano∣ther among the Doctors of Div. 1535.

He died at Lincolne on the eleventh of Nov. following, and was buried in the Nave of the Cathedral there. In his Wardenship succeeded Dr. John Warner a Physitian, in the latter end of Nov. 1558, he having been Warden before, but left it in the Reign of Qu. Mary; and in his Archdeaconry of Bedford succeeded Mich. Dunnyng LL. D. of Cambridge and Chancellour of the Diocess of Norwych, and him (who enjoyed it but a little while) Rich. Barber LL. B. of Oxon, 14 March 1558.

One of his des∣cendants of Godstow near Oxon. whose Christian name I do not yet know, was condemned to dye, 17 May 1615 for stifly maintain∣ing that a Prince may be removed out of the way by death or other∣wise, if lawfully excommunicated by the Pope.

Coll. and one of the Proctors of the University was admitted Bach. of Physick, and at the same time was licensed to practise the same faculty.—He was a learned Man of his time, but hath published nothing, and a great intruder into Ecclesiastical Benefices and Dignities, as I shall tell you elsewhere.

Opponents in Div.

May 7. Father John ap Rice a Cistercian, and Abbat of Strat∣markell in the Dioc. of St. Asaph.—He was now resident in St. Bernards Coll. where he obtained his knowledge in Divinity, but whether he was admitted to the reading of the Sentences which usually follows opposition in Divinity, it appears not. The other two Fathers that opposed with him were admitted, as I am now about to tell you.

Doct. of Div.

Dec. 16. John Moreman of Exeter Coll.—This Person who was very learned in his time, and hath (as 'tis thought) written several matters of his faculty, but lost, was born at Southole in De∣von, and after he had left his Coll. became Vicar of Mayhanet in Cornwall; where, with much labour, he taught the Parishioners to say the Lords Prayer, Belief, and 10 Commandments in the En∣glish tongue, about the latter end of the Reign of K. Hen. 8. being the first of all that did so in that Country. He was afterwards as 'tis said, Dean of Exeter, and being 〈◊〉〈◊〉 to the B. thereof, was

(as John Fox* 1.40 saith) made Bishop of that place after his decease. This Coadjutorship was in Oct. 1554 as he saith; but how he could succeed the then Bishop (who was Dr. Voysey) I cannot yet perceive. Voysey died in 1555, and Dr. Moreman died at Mayha∣net, before Oct. 1554.

Feb. 1. Fath. Edm. Brycot a Minorite or Franciscan.—One Bry∣cot was a famous Philosopher of Oxon, as his Books shew, but his Christian name I think was Thomas. This Brycot was the same, if I mistake not, with Dr. Biycot Parson of Hadham† 1.41 in Hertfordshire in the Reign of Qu. Mary.

17. Fr. Tho. Charnocke a Dominican or Black Fryer.

24. Rich. Mawdley or Mawdlen Archdeacon of Leicester.—This person who was a zealous and frequent Preacher against the Lu∣therans died in 1530, whereupon Steph. Gardiner Dr. of the Civ.

Fox, who was afterwards Bishop of Hereford.

His Canonry of the said Coll. at Oxon he lost when K. Hen. 8. was about to convert it into a Cathedral, an. 1545. in consideration of which, he had given to him an yearly Pension of 20 l. per an. during his life. As for Windsore, York, and South∣well, as also the Prebendary of Bedmynstre and Radeclyve in the Church of Sarum, (to which he was collated in Jan. 1534, in the place of Edw. Powell D. D.) he was deprived of them in the time of Q. Mary an. 1554, either for being married, or that he was a zealous Protestant, or both.

Incorporations.

Oct…. Stephen Gardiner Doct. of the Civ. Law of Cambridge.— He was now Bishop elect of Winchester, and had lately returned from his Embassy to Rome, to expedite the King's Divorce from Qu. Catherine, being then Secretary to the King, and commonly called by the name of Dr. Stephens. He was a learned man and of excellent parts, a great Statist, and a Writer of many Books, which are printed. I have seen one or more Letters written to him, while he was at Rome, by Card. Wolsey, who stiling him by the name of Mr. Stevens, desires him and his Colleagues to spare no labour and cost to obtain for him the Papacy, for the settlement of the state wherein the Church and all Christendom doth at present stand, as also the state of this Realm and of the Kings secret matter,

(meaning the Divorce from Qu. Cath.) which if it should be brought to pass by any other means than by the Authority of the Church, I ac∣count this Prince and Realm utterly undone, &c. (an. 1529.) Many of the Letters written by this Dr. Gardiner to the King, Cardinal Wolsey, and others, are subscribed by the name of Stevens and Stephens.

Oct…. John Bell Archdeacon of Glocester and Doct. of the Civil Law beyond the Seas.—He was afterwards Bishop of Worcester.

Oct…. Rich. Wolman Dean of Wells, Doct. of Decrees, as the public Register under the year 1523 tells us, and Dr. of the Civil Law of an University beyond the Seas, as the said Reg. under this year saith, was incorporated Doct. of the Civ. Law. In 1532 he was made Canon of Windsore in the place of Dr. James Den∣ton (mention'd under the year 1505) being then stiled Consiliarius regius, and dying in the Summer time, 1537, at which time he left several Legacies to the Church of Wells, and to Clavering (in Essex) was buried in the Cloyster belonging to the Coll. of S. Ste∣phen within the Palace of Westminster. In his Deanery succeeded Tho. Cromwel Secretary to K. Hen. 8. and in his Canonry one Rich. Arche, of whom will be mention made under the year 1537.

William Knight Archdeacon of Richmond, and Doctor of Law beyond the Seas.—He was afterwards Bishop of Bathe and Wells.

Oct…. Ed. Lee D. of D. beyond the Sea, and Archbishop elect of York.

These five persons who were incorporated, were not then pre∣sent in the University, but were deplomated, or had sent to each of them a Writing under the University Seal, to attest that they had the consent of the Commissary and Regents that they were embodied or incorporated.

Oct. 29. John Chamber Doctor of Physick beyond the Seas, was then incorporated.—A Certificate of it was sealed with the Uni∣versity Seal 16 Nov. following, and forthwith sent to him. This person, who had been Fellow of Mert. Coll. did, after he had ta∣ken the Degree of M. of A. travel into Italy 1502, studied Phy∣sick at Padua, and there took the Degree of Doctor in that Fa∣culty. After his Return he became the Kings Physitian, and (with Lynacre and Victoria) Founder of the Coll. of Physitians at London. In 1510 he became Canon of Windsore, and in 1524 he was made Archdeacon of Bedford, being then Preb. of Combe and Harnham in the Church of Sarum. In 1526 he was elected Warden of Mert. Coll. and about the same time was made Dean of the Kings Chappel dedicated to the blessed Vergin Mary and S. Stephen, within the Palace of VVestminster; the Cloyster of curious Workmanship adjoyning to which, he did not only build, but did give to it the said Chappel, and the Canons belonging thereunto for ever, cer∣tain Lands, which he afterwards, upon the dissolution, saw taken into the Kings hands. Afterwards he was made Treasurer of VVells, was double beneficed in Somersetshire and Yorkshire, and without doubt had other Dignities. He died in 1549, whereupon his Canonry was bestowed on Otwel Holinshead, and his Archdea∣conry on Gilb. Bourne, who was afterwards Bishop of Bathe and VVells. As for his Wardenship of Mert. Coll. he resigned in 1545 and his Treasurership of VVells in May 1543, in which last succeed∣ed John Marler, sometimes Prior or Master of the House or Hos∣pital of S. John Bapt. in VVells. There was another John Camber equal in time almost with the former, who was Bishop of Peterbo∣rough, and died in 1556, as I have among the Bishops told you.

Thornden of Canterbury College; who according to the manner was to be Cancellarius natus. At length K.

Ninteen at least were admitted, among whom were (1) John C••ttrel, whom I shall mention among the Doctors in 1542. (2) Tho. Young; not the same who was afterwards Archb. of York, but another. See among the Bach. of Civ. Law 1537. (3) Rich. Wyl∣son. (4) Roger Willyams, of which two, I know nothing; and (5) Will Jeffrey, of whom I shall make large mention among the Doctors of LL. 1540.

Nine besides were admitted, (of which number were John Doove or Dove, and John Gibbys, Carmes; Rich. Knyght a Dominican, Walt. Sutton and John Kingston, Benedictines; and Rob. Roberdsoryge a Bernardine) and about 29 there were that supplicated for the said Degree, among whom were (1) John Helyar of C. C. Coll. (2) George Browne an Austin Fryer, afterwards Archb. of Dublin. (3) Fath. Simon Clerkson a Carme. (4) Fath. John Cardmaker a Minorite, who had spent 16 years here and at Cambridge in Lo∣gic, Philosophy, and Divinity; but whether admitted, it appears not. This Cardmaker did about the time of the dissolution of Ab∣beys 1535, preach very freely against the Power of the Pope, and afterwards was made Prebendary of Wells. In the Reign of K. Ed. 6. he took to him a Wife, and had by her a Female Child, and became a Reader in Pauls, where his Lectures were so much offensive to the Rom. Cath. Party, that they abused him to his face, and with their knives would cut and haggle his Gown. About that time he was made Chancellor of the Church of Wells by the name of John Tayler alias Cardmaker▪ and was looked upon there and at London as the most zealous Minister to carry on the work of Reformation. At length when Qu. Mary came to the Crown he was deprived of his Spiritualities, and imprisoned in the Fleet, was had before the Bishop of London and the Spiritual Power, to know whether he would recant his Heresie as they called it, but he stifly denying it, and therefore condemned to dye, he was burnt in Smithfield 30 May 1555, as John Fox in his Book of Acts and Mon. of the Church will tell you.

Jan 24. John Barber of Alls. Coll.—He was an Advocate in the Court of Arches, and died at Wrotham in Kent about the be∣ginning of the year 1549.

Will. Petre of Alls. Coll. was admitted the same day.—This wor∣thy Person was Son of John Petre a rich Tanner of Torbryan in Devenshire, and was originally of Exeter Coll. Thence he was elected Fellow of Alls. Coll. in 1523, and afterwards became suc∣cessively Principal of Peckwater's Inn, one of the Visitors of Religi∣ous Houses when they were about to be dissolv'd, Master of the Requests and a Knight, Secretary and one of the Privy Council to K. Hen. 8 and Ed. 6. Sub-Treasurer, afterwards Treasurer, to K. Ed. 6. of the first Fruits and Tenths, Secretary of the Privy Council to Q. Mary, in whose time he was Chancellor of the Order of the Garter, and at length of the Privy Council to Q. Elizabeth. He died 13 Jan. 1571, and was buried in the Church of Ingerston in Essex on 11 Feb. following. The learned Cambdena 1.42 saith, that he was a man of approved Wisdom and exquisite Learning, and not so much memorable for those honorable Places and Offices of State which he bare, and for his oftentimes being sent in Embassage to foreign Princes as for that being bred and brought up in good Learning, he well 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of Learning in the Vniversity of Oxford, and was

both pitiful and bountèous to his poor Neighbours about him, and of Ingerston where he lies buried.

Jan. 24. Griffyn Leyson Principal of S. Edwunds Hall near S. Edw. Church.—He with John Oliver Dr. of the Civ. Law, were em∣ployed in the matter of depriving Steph. Gardiner of his Bishoprick of Winchester: and in the time of Qu. Mary wheeling about, he be∣came a Justice of Peace, and High Sheriff of Caermerthenshire, when Rob. ••errar Bishop of S. Davids was burnt an. 1555; at which time suffering not the said Bishop to speak his mind when he was at the Stake, (as John Fox* 1.43 tells us) died about half an year after, when he would have spoke himself, but could not.

One George Throgmorton LL. B. did supplicate to be admitted to the said degree, but was not.

Doct. of Div.

Jul. 5. Rich. Langrigg or Langrish.—He was originally of Mert. Coll. and from being Fellow ehere, he became one of the Canons of Cardinal Coll. Chaplain to Wolsey Archb. of York, and after∣wards to Dr. Lee his Successor in that See. In 1534 he became Archdeacon of Clievland in the place of Dr. Will. Clyffe promoted to the Chantorship of York; and dying in 1547, he was succeeded in the said Archdeaconry by Dr. Jo. Warner.

Joh. Hopton a Dominican, was admitted the same day.—This per∣son tho incorporated D. of D. in 1529, yet he was now licensed to proceed, and accordingly stood in the Act celebrated three dayes after his Admission. See more among the Bishops under the year 1558.

July 28. Will. Tresham lately of Merton, now Canon of the Kings, Coll. in Oxon.

John Travyshe M. of A. and B. D. was adm. Doct. the same day.

Nov. 27. Donatus Riane a public Reader of the Canon Law in New Inn.—A learned Irishb 1.44 Author in his enumcration or Writers and learned men of Ireland, tells us there were two Bre∣thren of Oxford whose Sirnames were Riane, and that one of them was a good Civilian, and the other a Mathematician, but mentions nothing of their Writings. This Donatus therefore I take to be the Civilian, and Daniel mention'd under the year 1556, to be the Mathematician. See in the year 1514.

May 17. Rob. Evans.—He was about this time Dean of Bangor, but when he was admitted thereunto I find not. One Rowland Thomas LL. D. was Dean of that Church in the beginning of Qu. Elizabeth's Reign, and died in January 1586; but whether he was immediate Successor to R. Evans I know not.

Nine in all were admitted, and about twelve that supplicated for the said degree; among whom were William Ayllesbury a Can. regular of the Monastery of Arrouvise in the Diocess of Arr•••• in France.

Mast. of Art.

• June 19. Nich. Vdall

The two former were Writers, the other was afterwards a Bish. in Ireland.

The number that were admitted this year, were in all 25 at least, besides about six that supplicated who were not admitted.

Bach. of Phys.

Three this year supplicated for the said degree, of which, two, as it seems, were admitted, viz. Will. Pye of Oriel Coll. who was afterwards a learned Divine, and a Dean, and Job. D••tyn of Exet. Coll. which last, tho he hath written nothing, yet he was a learn∣ed man, and a Benefactor to Learning, by giving a House and Land to his Coll. situate and being in the Parish of Bampton in Ox∣fordshire, (of which place he was one of the Vicars) and many choice Books to their Library, as I have told‡ 1.45 you elsewhere. He was beneficed in Cornwal. Devonshire, Somersetshire, and Oxford∣shire, and was also Canon of the Cath. Ch. at Exeter.

Bach. of Div.

Mar. 27. George Cotes or Cootes of Magd. Coll.

June 25. Walt. Buckler originally Fellow of Merton, afterwards Canon of Cardinal, College, was then admitted Bach. of Divinity, tho not in priestly Orders.—The Person who was second Son of John Buckler of Cawsay in Dorsetshire, and had been lately a Student in the University of Paris, was afterwards promoted by the King to be a Canon of his Coll. in Oxon founded on that of the Cardi∣nal, and about the same time was by him sent about State Affairs to Paris, which he performed with good liking to the said King. In the first of Ed. 6. he received the honor of Knighthood, and when Qu. Elizabeth came to the Crown, he was made one of her Privy Council. He died at Fairford in Glocestershire, having married the Widow of Sir Edward Tame Knight, Lord of that Mannor, and was buried in the Church there. Over whose Grave tho there be no Inscription, (notwithstanding, as I remember, there is a Mo∣nument for him) yet hisa 1.46 contemporary in Mert. Coll. named Jo. Parkhurst, hath perpetuated his Memory by certain Epigrams.

Jan. 16. Fr. Will. Browne a Minorite.—One Will. Browne be∣come Prior of Monk-Bretton in the Dioc. of York, about 1523, but I take him not to be the same with the Minorite.

29. Guy Etton, Eton or Eaton, a Minorite or Franciscan or Gray Fryer.—In the Reign of K. Ed. 6. he was Archdeacon of Glocester; but when Qu. Mary came to the Crown, he left that Dignity and certain Spiritualities, and went with his Companion and Friend John Jewell into Germany, and lived as an Exile at Strasburgh; from whence returning in the beginning of Qu. Elz. he was re∣stored to his Archdeaconry, and kept it to 1571, and after. He is stiled by a learned* 1.47 Author Vir pius & cruditus.

Feb. 26. Fa. Tho. Wellys a Benedictine.—He seems to be the same with Tho. Wellys a Ben. who supplicated for the degree of Bach. of Div. in 1514. This Tho. Wellys was afterwards Prior of Gloc. Coll.

Besides these, were about seven more admitted, among whom Rich. Ewer was one, afterwards one of the first Prebendaries of Worcester, Rich. London a Benedictine another, and Tho. Thomson a Franciscan a third.

There were also about eight that supplicated, among whom was Tho. Clerke a Monk of the Cistercian Order; but whether he was admitted, I cannot find. Perhaps he may be the same Tho. Clerke who from being the last Abbat of S. Werburgh in Chester (of the Benedictine Order, from which the Cistercians have their rise) was made the first Dean of the Cath. Ch. of Chester.

Doct. of Civ. Law.

Jun. 30. John Vacham, formerly, as I conceive, of Alls. College, which is all I yet know of him.

Doct. of Div.

Jul. 9. Rich. Lorgan sometimes Fellow of Oriel Coll. afterwards Principal of S. Maries Hall, now Divinity Reader of Magd. Coll. was then admitted D. of D. but did not proceed till 1535.

John Hurleston or Huddleston a Carme, did supplicate for the deg. of Doct. but I cannot find him admitted. See among the Incorp. in 1533.

Incorporations.

Jul. 20. George Browne a Fryer of the Order of S. Austin, and Doct. of Div. of another University, was then incorporated.— He was afterwards Archbishop of Dublin.

About this time the famous Ralph Gualter of Zurich studied in Oxon, for the sake of Libraries and scholastical Company. After∣wards he became an eminent Theologist of the reformed Perswa∣sion, and Author of many Books.

One Tho. Bryghtwyn a Secul. Chapl. did supplicate for the said Degree, but whether he was admitted it appears not.

Bach. of Arts.

Jul. 5. Edw. Quemmerford an Irish Man.—He is reported by a Writer of his Country to be a learned Man, as indeed he was, considering the time he lived in, as other Authors also till us. One Nich. Quemmerford I have mention'd among the Writers, but what this Edward hath written I cannot yet find.

About 41 were admitted this year, and about 10 that supplicated who were not admitted.

Bach. of Civ. Law.

Jul. 12. Henry Siddall—He was afterwards Canon of Ch. Ch. in Oxon. and in the Reign of Edw. 6. a great admirer and follower of Pet. Martyr, a turner about in Qu. Maries Reign, and a re∣turner in that of Qu. Elizabeth, such was the mutability and poor spirit of the Man. See more among the Doctors of Div. in 1552. and 1558.

Besides him were seven admitted, of whom Richard Plunket a Secular Chapl. was one, and nine that supplicated for the said De∣gree, but were not admitted.

Doct. of Physick.

Jul. 5. John Warner of Alls. Coll.—In the year following he was made Warden of the said Coll being about that time the pub∣lick Professor of Physick in the University, and in 1541. or there∣abouts he became one of the first Prebendaries of Winchester. In 1547 in July he was made Archdeacon of Clievland in the place of Dr. Rich. Langrigg or Langrish deceased, and afterwards be∣came Archdeacon of Ely in the room of Dr. John Boxall, but the year when, I cannot tell. In 1559 (1. Eliz.) he being then Preb. of Vlfcomb in the Church of Sarum, was made Dean of Winche∣ster in the place of Dr. Edm. Steward, and dying in his house in Warwick-lane in London, 21. March 1564 was buried in the Chan∣cel of the Church of Great Stanemere in Middlesex. In his War∣denship of Alls. Coll. Rich. Barber LL. D. succeeded, in his Arch∣deaconry of Clievland, (which he resign'd about an year before his death) one Christoph. Malton M. A. was installed in Apr. 1564. in his Archd. of Ely. (which also he had resigned) one Rob. Wisdome of Cambridge a good Lat. and English Poet of his time, and one that had been an Exile in Qu. Maries Reign, succeeded, but the year when I cannot justly say; and in his Deanery of Winchester fol∣lowed Franc. Newton D. D. an. 1565. As for Rob. Wisdome before-mention'd, who was also Rector of Settrington in Yorkshire, died in 1568.

Jul. 5. John Gaynes (sometimes written Jaynys) M. A. and Bac. of Phys. was then adm. being the same day on which Dr. Warner was admitted.

12. Ralph Skynner of New Coll.—Whether he took the De∣gree of M. of A. or of any other faculty in this University, I can∣not in all my searches find: Yet when he was elected Warden of New Coll. in the beginning of May 1551, he is said to be M. A. In 1560 March 5. he was installed Dean of Durham in the place of Rob. Horne promoted to the See of Winchester, and dying in 1563 was succeeded by Will. Whittingham, to whom the Queen gave it (notwithstanding she had promised it to Dr. Tho. Wilson) on the 19 Jul. the same year.

Feb. 27. John Harpesfeild of New Coll.—He was afterward a grand zealot in the times of reformation for the R. C. cause.

Besides these four, were about 30 more that were admitted, be∣sides about 7 that supplicated.

Bach. of Law.

Jun…. Will. Binsley of New Coll. was then admitted Bach. of both the Laws—After he had resign'd the Vicaridge of Adder∣bury in Oxfordshire 1554, he became about that time Chancellour to D. Pole Bishop of Peterborough and Archdeacon of Northampton, in which last Dignity he was succeeded by one Nich. Sheppard Master of St. Johns Coll. in Cambridge, about 1571. This Binsley is reported to have been a persecutor of Protestants in Queen Maries Reign while he was a Chancellour: And that after Qu. Elizah. came to the Crown he was notwithstanding that, made Archdeacon of Pe∣terborough, &c.

Mar. 22. Rich. Read of New Coll.—See among the Doctors in 1540.

Besides these two, were but two more that were admitted, and but three that supplicated, that were not admitted; among whom Donatus Tayge an Irish Man was one.

Not one was admitted in the Canon Law, nor one that suppli∣cated: For Religious houses being about this time dissolved, there occurs not the third or fourth part of Bachelaurs of the Can. or Civ. Law (especially the former) as before.

Mast. of Arts.

For the same reason but eleven Masters were admitted this year, five of whom were of Merton Coll. and but two that supplicated, who were not admitted.

Mar. 9. Father James Procter a Monk of that Order of St. Ber∣nard alias Cisteaux and Archdeacon of Dorset, in the place of Edw. Fox) who studied now in St. Bernards Coll. in Oxon, was then admitted.—He was afterwards made Canon of the Kings Coll. in Oxon, where abiding till 1545, at which time the said Coll. was to be converted into a Cathedral, he had in recompense for it 20 l. per an. paid unto him out of the Exchequer. After∣wards being made Prebendary of Salisbury, was at length, about the year 1579, nominated by Qu. Elizab. to succeed John Deve∣reux in the See of Fernes in Ireland; but he dying before his con∣secration thereunto, Hugh Allen B. of Downe and Co••nor was tran∣slated to that See.

Fa. Anth. Clerke a Monk of the said Order, and of St. Bernards Coll. was admitted the same day.

Fa. Edward Manchester another Monk of the same Order and Coll. was then also admitted.—When his Monastery was dissol∣ved he return'd to his old Sirname again, which was Pedley, and in 1538 I find him in a poor condition, as the other Fathers of the same Order probably were.

Two more were admitted, and six that supplicated for that De∣gree, who were not admitted; among whom were Fr. John Lyllyng a Minorite.

Doct. of Civil Law.

Octob. 11. Will. Coke or Cooke of Alls College, now Rector or Warden of Elmeley in Kent.—In 1537 I find him by the name of Will. Coke LL. D. to be Principal or Chief Moderator of the

Civ. Law School in St. Edwards Parish, and in 1548 Judge or Ge∣neral Commissary, or custos of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury. I take this Dr. Cook to be the same with him, who was zealous in examining Protestants about matters of faith, when they were brought before the Bishop of London; as you may see in the Acts and Mon. of the Church under the year 1558. and elsewhere.

Doct. of Div.

Jul. 5. John Hastyngs sometimes of Vniversity, now Canon of the Kings, Coll. in Oxon.

Thom. Raynolds of Merton, sometimes one of the Canons of Car∣dinal, Coll. was admitted the same day.—He was afterwards Warden of Merton Coll. Residentiary of Exeter, Dean of Bristow for a time, an. 1553, and Dean of Exeter in the year following, on the death of Dr. John Moreman. This Person being learned, and Chaplain to Queen Mary, she therefore nominated him to succeed Rob. Parfew alias Warton in the Episcopal See of Hereford, but she dying before he received consecration thereunto, was not only put aside by Queen Elizabeth, but by her committed to custody in the Prison called the Marshalsea in Southwark, where he died about 24. Nov. 1559.

Jul. 5. Nich. Cartwryght M. of A. and Bach. of Div.—In the Reign of K. Ed. 6. he was a great admirer of Pet. Martyr and his Doctrine, and about that time was made Master, or Schoolmaster, of the House or Hospital of St. John Baptist joyning to Banbury in Oxfordshire. In the Reign of Qu. Mary he was commanded to dispute with Hugh Latymer in the Divinity School, before he was to sacrifice his life in the flames, an. 1554, yet spoke as little as could be; and two years after, he was deprived of a benefice in the Dioc. of Lichf. and Cov. He died and was buried at Banbury beforementioned, about 1558.

George Cotes of Magd. Coll. was adm. the same day—Soon af∣ter he was Master of Balliol Coll. and at length Bishop of Chester.

Rich. Smyth of Mert. Coll. mention'd before among the Bach. of Div. was also admitted the same day—Afterwards, in the times of reformation, he was esteemed the chief pillar of the R. Cath. cause.

At the same time one John Vyne M. A. and Bach. of Div. sup∣plicated to be Doctor of that fac. but was not admitted.

Incorporations.

Not one was really incorporated, only several supplicated in Or∣der to it, as (1) Ralph Smale M. A. of an University beyond the Sea, who also supplicated in the year following for incorporation.

Jul. 2. John Coke a Secular Chaplain and a Student in the Ce∣sarean Laws here, and at Cambridge, for three years or more— This Person is not to be understood to be the same with John Coke or Cook, who occurs a little before this time Abbat of Osney, as some have taken him to be so; which is the reason that I make now this note of him.

Feb. 17. Tho. Young a Sec. Chaplain, now, as it seems, of Broad∣gates hall.—He was afterwards Archbishop of York.

Rob. Weston of Alls. Coll. was admitted the same day.—See among the Doctors of the Civ. Law in 1556.

Will. Dalby of the said Coll. was also adm. the same day.—He was afterwards Chancellour of the Diocess of Bristow, whence he was ejected upon account of Religion in the beginning of Qu. Eli∣zabeth, as Nic. Saunders tellsa 1.49 us.

Feb. 17. Benedictus Guarsius, sometimes written Ballasarus Gwar∣cius. Quaere.

Besides these, was only Arth. Pytts of Alis. Coll. admitted; and one Hugh Whytford who supplicated for the said Degree.

Not one was admitted in the Canon Law, nor one supplicated, for the reason I have before told you, under the year 1537.

Mast. of Arts.

May 11. John Powle or Bowle of Alls. Coll.—This Person who was Canon of Windsore in the time of Ed. 6. is reported by a cer∣tain b 1.50 writer to have been lately Prior of Merton in Surrey, and that dying at Windsore 15 Aug. 1558 was buried there.

Rich. Reeve of Alls. Coll. was adm. the same day—He was af∣terwards the first Prebendary of the ninth Prebendship of Westmin∣ster an. 1560, Canon of Wandsore in 1561 and the Queens Chap∣lain. This Person is remembred by John Fox in his book of Acts and Monuments of the Church, to have been the noted Schoolmaster of Berchamstede in Hertfordshire, and that for his zeal to prote∣stancy, he was brought into some kind of trouble in the Reign of Qu. Mary. He died in 1594, leaving behind him the Chara∣cter of a religious and learned Man; whereupon Cuthbert Bellot M. A. succeeded him in his Prebendship, and Alex. N••well Dean of St. Pauls Cathedral in his Canonry.

Feb. 13. John Man of New Coll. was then admitted Master be∣ing the same whom I have mention'd under the year 1533.

Four more were admitted, and about 7 there were that suppli∣cated for the said Degree, among whom John Crayford a Minorit•• was one, who had spent several years in study both here and at Cambridge, Rob. Wellys M. A. and Fellow of Eaton Coll. another, and Thom. Massie a Canon regular a third; which last was Prior of St. Maries Coll. in Oxon and was about this time adm. Bach. of Divinity, but neglected to be registred by the publick scribe.

Jan. 18. Richard Lyell of Alls. Coll.

Rowl. Merick about this time of New Inn was adm. the same day—He was afterwards Bishop of Bangor.

For the same Degree supplicated one Rich. Arche LL. B. but was not admitted. In 1526 I find him to be Principal of Broadgates hall by the name of Rich. Archer, and now (1538) to be the Kings Chaplain and Canon of Windsore. On the 28. Dec. 1551. he was made Treasurer of the Church of Salisbury on the death of Matthew Wotton, who had succeeded in that Dignity one Tho. Stevens.

Doct. of Div.

Incorporations.

May… Christop. Massyngberd LL. Bach. of Cambridge and Chanc. of the Church of Linc.—Afterwards he supplicated to the licen∣sed to proceed in the Laws, but whether he was so, it appears not. In 1543 he succeeded Dr. Anth. Draycot in the Archdeaconry of Stow, and dying 8. March 1553 was buried in the middle of the Isle on the South side of the Choire belonging to the Church of Lincolne. Whereupon John Aylmer or Elmer succeeded in that Dig∣nity, but before he had enjoyed it an year, was deprived of it, being then the first year of Qu. Mary, and one John Harrison was put into his place, 1554.

This year on the 19. July the rev. Father Anthony Brocke or Brockbey (sometimes written Brorbe) a Franciscan or Grey Fryer, well read in Divinity and learned in the Greek and Heb. tongues, sometimes a Student in St. Mar. Magd. Coll. Oxon, suffer'd death by hanging, for speaking against the Kings proceedings in extirpat∣ing the Popes power and demolishing of religious houses. I put this observation under the year of his death because that he, being reported byc 1.51 one to be a Licentiat in Divinity, and byd 1.52 ano∣ther a Professor of Divinity, of this University, I cannot find any such thing in our publick registers, which are imperfect in several years before this time, especially in the year 1517.

Ch. of Worcester in the place of John Compton alias Teale Bach. of Div. and sometimes Chaplain to K. H. 8. and in the same year he was elected Warden of Alls. Coll. In 1557 about Michaelmas he was made Dean of Worcester in the place of Philip Haford or Hawford alias Ballard (who had been the last Abbat of Evesham in Worce∣stershire) and about the same time became Rector of Bishops Cleeve in Glocestershire, upon his resignation of the Rectory of Fladbury. In Oct. or Nov. 1559 he was deprived of his Deanery; whereupon John Pedder Bach. of Div. one of the Frankfort exiles in the time of Qu. Mary was installed in his place 27. Dec. the same year. Holland was afterwards committed Prisoner to the Marshalsea, where he died in the second year of Qu. Elizab.

Mar. 18. James Curthopp of C. C. Coll.—In 1546 he became the first Canon of the sixth stall in Ch. Ch. Cathedral Oxon, and about the beginning of Qu. Mary he succeeded Gerard Carleton D. D. in the Deanery of Peterborough, who in 1543 had succeeded in that Dignity Franc. Abre B.

Besides these three, were but eight Masters admitted, if the re∣gister saith right; and in but one Act celebrated this year, on 29. July, were only four Doctors of Divinity, and one in the Laws that proceeded, the Masters being reserved till the Act following, which was on the last of March 1539.

After the Abbeys were dissolved, in 1535. 36. &c. I find very many Monks and other religious Persons, who had pensions al∣lowed them out of the Exchecquer, to retire to the University, and to such places therein, that were nurseries for them, as Canterbury Coll. Gloucester Coll. Durham Coll. St. Bernards, St. Maries, &c. which were full of them; where they continued till they were worn out, or had gotten Benefices.

I find a supplicate made in the behalf of one John Hardyman a Doctor of Divinity of Cambridge that he might be incorporated in the same Degree, but whether really he was so, I know not. He ran with the mutable times of K. Hen. 8. Ed. 6. and Qu. Mary, and being in shew a zealous Protestant in the beginning of Qu. Elizab. was by her made the first Canon of the second stall in the colle∣giat Church of Westminster, in the year 1560. About which time being well known among the Puritanical Party (who began to shew themselves betimes) he was made their instrument to break down the Altars, and to deface the antient utensiles and orna∣ments of the Church of Westminster. For which, upon complaint, he was deprived by the Queens Commissioners for causes Ecclesia∣stical, an. 1567.

His Wardenship he gave up in 1571, and about the same time the Archd. of Bedf. in which last he was succeeded by Will. Redde.

Jul. ••. Walt Wryght now or lately Principal of Peckwaters Inn— In the beginning of 1543 he was made Archdeacon of Oxon in the place of Dr. Rich. Cor••n deceased, was afterwards Master or Perfect of Durham Coll. in the interval, between its dissolution and con∣version into Trin. Coll. Canon of Winchester and several times Com∣missioner and Visitor of the University. He died in Exeter Coll. 10. May an. 1561. (being then Preb. of North Grantham in the Church of Sarum) and was buried in the nave of St. Maries Church in Oxon. Whereupon John Kennall LL. D. succeeded him in his Archdeaconry, being the second that bore that office after Oxford was made an Episcopal See. A certain Author,a 1.53 who by ma∣ny is accounted erroneous, tells us that this Doctor Wryght did take occasion in a Sermon preached in Oxon, after Qu. Elizabeth came to the Crown, to make several reflections on the Popes Supremacy, and falling accidentally on the words of St. Paul to the Ephesians— And he gave some, Apostles, and some, Evangelists, and some Pa∣stors and Teachers, he told the auditory, to obtain favour from them, you see here is not a word of the Pope—After Sermon, in∣stead of going to dinner to refresh himself, he was took suddenly with a sickness, and thereupon took his bed and dyed about 8 days after. This seemed very remarkable among the R. Catholicks, be∣cause the said Wright was not only one of Cardinal Poles Visitors of the University of Oxon. in the time of Qu. Mary, but also took all occasions then, to express his zeal for the R. Cath. Cause. I

have made mention of this Dr. Wright, in several places in Hist. & Antiq. Vniv. Oxon. lib. 1. p. 267. b. 276. a. 279. a. 283. a. lib. 2▪ p. 422. a. b. &c.

You may read much of him in the Acts and Mon. of the Church, &c. written by J. Fox, in the story of Jul. Palmer, un∣der the year 1556. and in that of Rich. White, under 1558. in which year Dr. Will. Geffry dying, Cardinal Pole bestowed the said Chancellourship on an eminent Scholar called Dr. Thom. Heskins in Octob. 1558. who keeping that Dignity till Aug. 1559. Hen. Parry was restored. Whereupon Dr. Heskins went beyond the Seas with other Rom. Catholicks and wrot The Parliament of Christ, &c. con∣cerning the Sacrament, impugned in a Serm. by Jo. Jewell. Antw. 1565. fol.

Oct. 19. John ap Harry or Parry Master of Arts of the University of Caen in Normandy.—See among the Doctors of Law in 1542.

In the month of July, I find a Supplicate made for one Roger Haskham to be incorporated M. of A. as he had stood at Cambridge; but whether he was incorporated, I find it not to stand in the Register, having been probably neglected, as things of that nature (when the Supplicates are set down) have frequently been done. I take this person to be the same with Reg. Ascham who was born at Kirby wiske in Yorkshire, an 1515, educated in S. John's Coll. in Cambridge, where he attained to great excellency in the Latin and Greek Tongues, took the degree of M. of A. in that Univer∣sity 1537, and was a great Tutor, and did much good by his ad∣mirable Learning there. This Person, by the way I must let the Reader know, was a passing good Orator, had a great faculty in writing Greek. Lat. and Engl. Epistles, which were not only excellent for matter, but for the neatness of the hand-writing, adorned with Illumination, which we now call Limning, in the margin. And being the best of all Scholars in his time for those matters, he was entertained, as an Instructor in them, by Prince Edward, the Lady Elizabeth, and the two Brothers Henry and Charles Dukes of Suffolk. In 1544 he succeeded John Cheek in the Oratorship of the University of Cambridge, which he perfor∣med to the wonder and applause of all; and in the Reign of Ed. 6. he accompanied Sir Rich. M••rysine in his Embassy to the Emperor Charles 5. where continuing about three years, (in which time he became acquainted with many learned men, among whom John Sturmius was one) he returned upon the news of the death of K. Ed. 6. from whom he had not only received an annual Pension in his absence, but also the gift of the Latin Secretariship: so that at the present being destitute of convenient maintenance and Friends, was, by the endeavours of the Lord Paget and Dr. Steph. Gardiner Bish. of Winchester, made Secretary of the Latin Tongue to Qu. Mary. In 1554 he married one Margaret H••w, by whom he had a considerable Portion; yet notwithstanding that and his Place, he lived and died not according to his condition, being given to Dicing and Cock-fighting. After Qu. Elizabeth came to the Crown, he was not only continued in his place of Secretary, and made Tutor to her for the Greek Tongue, but also by her favour was installed Prebendary of Wetwang in the Church of York (by the deprivation of George Palmes LL. D.) on the eleventh day of March 1559. This Person whose Memory is celebrated to this day among learned men for Oratory, Poetry, and the Greek Tongue, hath written (1) Toxophilus: the School or partitions of Shooting, contained in two books, written 1544 &c.—Lond. 1571, qu. As in his later days he delighted much in Dicing and Cockfighting, so in his younger, while at Cambridge, in Archer••, wherein he much excelled. (2) The Schoolmaster: or, a plain and perfect way of teaching Children to understand, write, and speak the Latin Tongue. &c. in two Books. Lond. 1570 and 1589, qu. (3) A report and discourse of the affairs and state of Germany and the Emperour Charles his Court, during certain years while he was there. printed in qu. (4) Familiarium Epistolarum libri tres, &c. Lond. 1577, 78. oct. (5) Quaedam poemata, printed with the Epistles. (6) Apol. contra missam & ejus praestigias, &c. printed about 1577, in oct. This eminent Scholar R. Ascham dieda 1.55 on the 30 of Dec. 1568, and was buried, without any funeral Pomp, on the 4 of Jan. fol∣lowing▪ in the church of S. Sepulchre without Newgate, London, leaving behind him this character by a learnedb 1.56 person, that he inter primes nostrae nationis literas Latinas & Graecas stylique purita∣tem cum eloquentiae laude excoluit.

Five this year were admitted Bachelaurs of the Civil Law, and but two there were that supplicated for that degree. One of them was named Will. Copinger, a Civilian of New Coll. but whether he was really admitted, I find not. This Person who was a Londoner

born, I take to be the same who was afterwards a Servant to Dr. Steph. Gardiner B. of Winchester, and Bearer of the Great Seal before him while he was Lord Chancellour. After Gardiner's Death, which hapned in 1555, he became one of the Benedictine Monks of Westminster, where continuing till Qu. Elizabeth came to the Crown, was soon after committed Prisoner to the Tower of London, where, as onec 1.57 saith, falling mad, died in a short time after. I find another Will. Copinger who was M. of A. of this Uni∣versity long before the other man's time, who in his Works in MS. (which are in Ball. Coll. Library, and therefore thought by some d 1.58 to have been of that House) did shew himself to be a very pi∣ous Divine, and a Pronouncer of the men of this World to be vain, in whom the knowledge of God reigneth not. He wrot (1) De vitiis & virtutibus, lib. 1. The beginning of which is Vani sunt omnes homines, &c. (2) Sacramentale quoddam, and other things, which hath made his name famous to Posterity. When he lived, or in what Kings Reign he was renown'd for his Learning, I cannot tell neither doth Bale himself know.

He the said Dr. Cottrell was afterwards Vicar General to Paul the first Bish. of Bristol, did succeed Pol. Virgil in the Archdeaconry of Wells. an. 1554 or thereabouts, being the first year of Qu. Mary, at which time Virgil was in Italy among the living. In the same year also▪ he was made Prebendary of Tymberscombe in the Church of Wells, Vicar General to Gilbert Bishop of that place, and at length Prebendary of Fordington and Writhlington in the Church of Sarum. He died about the month of Feb. in 1575, and was buried in the Cath. Ch. at Wells.

Elizabeth being much troubled in mind upon a foresight of the alteration of Religion▪ he went in∣to Flanders, where in wandring to and fro in great discontent, he met with Thieves, who first rob'd, and afterwards murder'd, him.

See in the year 1545.

Incorporations.

This year, or thereabouts, John Cheek of Cambridge was incor∣porated, but in what degree, unless in that of Master of Arts, I cannot justly tell, because of the imperfectness of the Registers. He had studied before for some time in this University, and was now one of the Canons of Kings Coll. in Oxon. I mean of that College founded by K. Hen. 8. on that of Card. Wolsey, which continued from the year 1532 to 1545, at which time he was about to tran∣slate the See of Oxon from Osney to his said Coll. intended then by him to have it known by the name of Christ Church, which was effected accordingly in the year following. When the said Kings Coll. was dissolved by Hen. 8. in the beginning of the year 1545, he allowed most of the then Canons yearly Pensions in lieu of their Canonries, and to Jo. Cheek who was then Tutor to his Son Prince Edward, he allowed six and twenty pounds, thirteen shillings, and four pence. He was afterwards a Knight, and most famous for his Learning, exprest in his Introductio Grammatices, his Book De ludimagistrorton officio, in another De pronunciatione Linguae Grae••••c, and in many more, besides Translations; the Catalogue of which, (mostly taken from Baleus) you may see at the end of Sir John Cheeks Life, written by Ger. Langbaine, put by him before a Book written by the said Cheek. entit. The true Subject to the Rebel, or the heart of Sedition, &c. Oxon. 1641. qu.

Davids, which he keeping for some years, was at length made Archdeacon of Hereford. At the time of his death he gave Lands to Mert. Coll. situate and being within the Town of Walton near to Tewkesbury in Glocestershire.

Besides these four were 56 admitted.

In the month of June this year supplicated for the Degree of Bach. of Arts one Will. Walker a Priest, but whether he was ad∣mitted it appears not. In Dec. 1554 he was made Succentor of the Cath. Ch. of Salisbury, in which Dignity he was succeeded by one Hen. Brither in the beginning of 1561.

Hen. 8. made 1541, appointing that the Proctors should be elected from the senior Masters, of eight years standing at least. These two Proctors were afterwards eminent Physiti∣ans in the time they lived, and the senior died in the latter end of the year (in March) 1549.

Bach. of Gram.

Edward Pendleton the famous Schoolmaster of Manchester in Lan∣cashire, was admitted to the reading of any Book of the Faculty of Grammar, that is, to the degree of Bach. of Grammar; but the day or month when, is not set down in the public Register, now very much neglected.

Julius Palmer of Magdalen Coll—This person was elected Pro∣bationer Fellow of the said Coll. 25. Jul. 1549, and true and per∣petual Fellow in the year following. In 1553 he left his Fellow∣ship, and what became of him after, John Fox in his Book of The Acts and Mon. of the Church, &c. will tell you at large among the Martyrs that stood up and died for the Protestant Religion, under the year 1556.

This year also was admitted Bach. of Arts one Barthelmew Green, but whether the same with Bartier (that is little Barthelmew) Greene

who suffered Martyrdom for the Protestant Cause an. 1556, as you may see at large in the Book of Acts and Monuments of the Church, under that year. I cannot justly say. John Fox who hath written his story; tells you that he was educated in the University of Oxon, and afterwards in the Inns of Court.

Thirty and one Bachelaurs were admitted this year.

Bach. of Law.

Tho. Randall or Randolphe of Ch. Ch.—He was afterwards Prin∣cipal of Broadgates Hall, and a frequent Embassadour in the Reign of Qu. Elizabeth.

Edmund Crispyne of Oriel Coll. lately a shagling Lecturer of Physick, now one of the Proctors of the University, did suppli∣cate to be licensed to proceed in Physick. Also Henry Bayli•• the other Proctor, did in like manner do so, and were without doubt licensed, (tho not registred so to be) because I find them after∣wards to be written and stiled Doctors of Physick.

☞ Not one Doctor of Divinity was admitted or licensed this year.

Divine Services and Anthems usu∣ally sung in the Cathedrals and Collegiate Choires in the Church of England. Lond. 1663. oct. collected and published by Jam. Clifford Petty Canon of Pauls, sometimes Chorister of Magdalen College in Oxon. We have also some of his Compositions among the anci∣ent Books in the publick Musick School, of six parts, but long since with others of that time, antiquated, and not at all valued.

The Admissions, and names of the Determiners, are omitted this year, by the carelesness of the publick Scribe, and therefore the number of them is uncertain.

Will. Awbrey of Allsoules College.—He was afterwards suc∣cessively Principal of New Inn, the Kings Professor of the Civil Law in this University, Judge Advocate of the Queens Army at S. Quintins in France, Advocate in the Court of Arches, one of the Council of the Marches of Wales, Master of the Chancery, Chan∣cellor to John Archbishop of Canterbury throughout his whole Province, and lastly, by the special favour of Queen Elizabeth, he was taken to her nearer Service, and made one of the Masters of Requests in Ordinary.

What other Bach. of this Fac. were admitted, I find not, for they are not inserted in the Register. Four occur that supplicated, who, I presume, were admitted; among whom Joh. James or Jamys, was one, who was afterwards one of the first Fell. of S. Johns Coll. and on

the 24. of March 1563 succeeded Thom. Curteys in the Subdeanery of Salisbury, and he Rob. Elyot in Dec. 1561.

Mast. of Arts.

• Michael Renniger
• Arth. Saule

Both afterwards Exiles for their Religion in the time of Queen Mary. Of the first I have made mention among the writers, an. 1609. The other, Arthur Saul, became Prebendary of Bedmynster and Radclive in the Church of Sarum (which is a Residentiary) in January 1559, and had other Dignities, besides benefices confer'd upon him. One of both his names was Author of The famous game of Chesse-play lately discovered, and all doubts resolved, &c. Lond. 1614. oct. dedicated to Lucy Countess of Bedford. Whether this Ar. Saul who writes himself Gent. was descended from the former, I cannot justly say it.

• Thom. Hyde of New
• John Piers of Magd.
  • Coll.

The former was afterwards an Exile for the R. Cath. Religion, in the time of Queen Elizab. the other was an Archbishop in her Reign.

The admissions of Masters are also omitted this year, but the number of those that stood in an Act celebrated in Sept. comes to 23.

Bach. of Physick.

James Neyland of Alls. Coll.—Others were admitted, but are not inserted in the register.

Bach. of Div.

Jul…. Bernard Gilpyn of Queens Coll.—This Person who was born of an antient and gentile Family at Kentmeire in Westmorland, became a poor serving child of the said Coll. in 1533. aged 17 or thereabouts, and about the time that he proceeded M. of A. he was made Fellow thereof, being then esteemed a good Disputant in Logick and Philosophy, and well read in the Greek and Hebrew; in which tongues, he was instructed by his contemporary Thomas Neale of New Coll. who was afterwards Heb. Prof. of this Univer∣sity. About that time his eminence in learning was such, that he was made choice of to be one of the first Masters to supply Ch. Ch. when first founded for a Dean, Canons and Students by K. Hen. 8. But continuing there not long, was at length taken thence, and by the care and charge of his Mothers Uncle Dr. Cuthb. Tonstall Bishop of Durham, he was sent to travel, and while he continued in the University of Paris, he did him some service in correcting and prin∣ting one of his books, as I have elsewhere told you. After his re∣turn he confer'd on him the rectory of Esington, with the Archdea∣conry of Durham annex'd, about 1556; but in whose room or place I cannot tell, unless in that of one Will. Franklin Bach. of De∣crees and Chancellour of Durham, who occurs Archdeacon of Durham 1531. After he was setled at Esington, he preached much against the vices, errors, and corruptions of the times, to the great displeasure of some of the neighbouring Ministers, who were then R. Catholicks. But his desire being to part with those troublesome places, as too much for one Man to keep (as he pretended) he was presented to the rich rectory of Houghton in the Spring in the coun∣ty pal. of Durham, where being setled, his Preachings were so frequent, and in other places as well remote, as near thereunto, that he was commonly called The Northern Apostle. His almes were also so large, frequent, and constant, that he was usually called The common father of the poor. In his Archdeacony of Durham suc∣ceeded John Ebden Bach. of Div. sometimes Proctor of the Uni∣versity of Cambridge, who had it given to him by Qu. Elizabeth, while the See of Durham was void, 22. May 1560; a little be∣fore which time, Gilpyn had a congedeslier sent to him to be ele∣cted Bishop of Carlile on the death of Owen Oglethorp, but refused it. Soon after he erected a Grammar School at Houghton, and be∣stowed 460 l. to buy Lands to endow it for a Master and Usher. Which, with other Moneys and Lands given for that purpose by Joh. Heath of Kepier Esq; the School was setled in 1572 or there∣abouts. To conclude, this worthy Person having his life written and published by one* 1.63 of his Scholars, I shall now say no more of him only that he died on the 4. March 1583 aged 66 and was buried in the Church at Houghton, and that by his will dated 17. Oct. 1582, he left half of his goods to the poor of that place and the other half in exhibitions upon Scholars and Students in Oxon, viz. Mr. Rich. Wharton, Mr. Steph. Copperthwaite, George Carleton (afterwards B. of Chich.) Ralph Ironside born in Houghton before∣mention'd (Father to Gilbert Bishop of Bristow an. 1660) Evan Airay, Hen. Airay (afterwards Provost of Qu. Coll.) Will. Cayrus, Franc. Risley, Tho. Collinson, &c. He hath written several things, but hath nothing extant, only A Sermon before the King and Court at Green∣wich, on the first Sunday after Epiph. an. 1552, on Luke 2. from verse 41. to 48.

Bach. of Musick.

Tho the publick register of this time is very imperfect, as having been neglected by one who was afterwards deservedly turn'd out of his place, yet it appears therein (tho very obscurely) that one Joh. Merbeck or Marbeck Organist of St. Georges chap. at Windsore did supplicate for the Degree of Bach. of Musick, but whether he was admitted it appears not, because the admissions in all faculties are for several years omitted. All therefore that I can say of him, is, that he was an eminent Musician of his time as well for the Theory, as practical part, of Musick, as may be seen in a book of his com∣position, intit. The book of Common-prayer noted. Lond. 1550. qu. besides divers compositions that are not extant. As for other books that he wrot and published relate to Divinity, and matters against the Pope, among which are (1) A concordance of the Bible, &c. Lond. 1550. fol. &c. (2) The lives of holy Saints, Prophets, Patri∣archs, &c. Lond in 4^o. (3) The ripping up of the Popes fardel. Ibid. 1581. oct. (4) Book of notes and common places, with their exposi∣tion, &c. Ibid. 1581. qu. (5) Examples drawn out of Holy Scripture, with their application: Also a brief conference between the Pope and his Secretary, wherein is opened his great blasphemous pride. Ib. 1582. oct. (6) Dialogue between youth and old age, wherein is declared the Persecution of Christs Religion, since the fall of Adam, hitherto. Lond. 1584. oct. John Fox in his book of Acts and Mon. of the Church, &c. doth speak largely of this John Merbeck, if not too much, in the first edition thereof, wherein he made him a Martyr while he was living, which hath administred a great deal of sport among the R. Cath. writers, as Alan Cope, Rob. Persons, &c.

Bell, who suffer'd death by hanging at Lancaster, for being a Rom. Priest. in Apr. 1584; or James Bell a Translator of several books into English I cannot tell. This last was a zealous Protestant and translated (1) A treatise touching the liberty of a Christian. Lond. 1579. oct. written in Latin by

Dr. Mart. Luther. (2) Sermon of the Evangelical Olive. written by Jo. Fox. See more in Jo Fox among the Writers, an. 1587. (3) The Pope confuted. Written by the said Fox; see there again (4) An∣swer apologetical to Hierome Osorius his slanderous invective. Lond. 1581. qu. Begun to be written in Lat. by Dr. Walt. Haddon, but finished by John Fox beforemention'd.

The admissions, and names of Determiners are omitted this year, and therefore you are not to expect the just number of Bachelaurs that were admitted.

Bach. of Civ. Law.

Nich. Saunders of New Coll.—He was afterwards a zealous R. Catholick, and a forward and indefatigable writer in defence of the Religion he professed.

Mast. of Arts.

Humph. Lhoyd or Lhuyd of Brasnose Coll.—He was after∣wards in much esteem for his great knowledge in British anti∣quities.

The admissions of Masters are this year omitted; yet the num∣ber that stood in the Act or Comitia celebrated 6. of July, is 21. The Junior of which called Ralph Treiver of Ch. Ch. was, with the ap∣probation of the Vicech. and whole congregation admitted into the School of the Physicians (or entred on the Physick line) in Jan. 1552.

Bach. of Div.

John Morw••n of C. C. Coll.—This Person did, about this time, upon a fight of the decay of the fac. of Div. enter himself on the Phys. line, but whether he continued in it I cannot tell.

John Harpesfield of N••w Coll.

Christoph. Goodman of Ch. Ch. sometimes of Brasen. Coll.

John Molens or Mullins of Magd. Coll.

Hen. Pendleton of Brasnose. Coll.

☞ Not one Doctor of Law, Physick or Divinity was admitted or licensed to proceed this year; as it appears in the imper∣fect register of this time.

Incorporations.

Rob. Johnson LL. Bach. (of Cambridge as it seems) was incorpo∣rated Bach. of both the Laws, but the day or month when, ap∣pears not. In 1544 Jul. 10. he was installed Prebendary of the Church of Worcester in the place of Tho. Baggard LL. D. deceased, and in the same month, as it seems, was made Chancellour of the Diocess of Worcester; which had been held by the said Baggard. In the Reign of K. Ed. 6. he kept both those places, though wrot privately against Jo. Hoper B. of Glocester and Worcester; in 1555 Feb. 22. (tertio Mariae Reg.) he was installed Prebendary of Stilling∣ton in the Church of York, and in Jul. 1558 he was collated by Nich, Archb. of York to the rectory of Bolton Percy in Yorkshire, on the death of Arth. Cole President of Magd. Coll. but enjoyed it for a short time. This Person who was esteemed learned and well read in the Theological faculty, did write a book against Hoper be∣foremention'd, but did not publish it. After his death, which hapned in 1559, the book came into the hands of one Henry Joliff or Jolliff Bach. of Div. sometimes Proctor of Cambridge, afterwards Rector of Bishops Hampton in Worcestershire, one of the first Pre∣bendaries of Worcester, and in 1554 Dean of Bristew in the place of Tho. Rainolds promoted to the Deanery of Exeter. I say that the said Jolliff having the book in his hands, carried it with him beyond the Seas, when he fled there upon the alteration of Religion in the beginning of the Reign of Qu. Elizabeth, and setling for a time at Lovaine, did correct, put some additions to, and publish, it, under his and the name of Rob. Johnson with this title. Respon∣sio sub protestatione facta ad illos articulos Johannis Hoperi Episcopi Vigorni••e nomen gerentis, in quibus à Catholica fide dissentiebat: 〈◊〉〈◊〉 cum quibusdam confutationibus ejusdem Hoperi, & replicationibus re∣verendiss. in ch. pat. Steph. Gardineri Episc. Winton. tunc temporis pro confessione fidei in carcere detenti. Antwerp. 1564. in a thick oct. dedicated by Joliff to Philip K. of Spain, acknowledging not only his favours shew'd to him in England. while he was King there, but also at Lovaine. Whether Rob. Johnson the original Author died at Worcester, or York I know not, or Joliff at Lovaine: Sure I am that the last died in 1573; for on the 28. Januar. in that year, a commissionc 1.64 issued out from the Prerogative Court of Canterbury to one Will. Secrs a Stationer of London, to administer the goods, debts, chattels, &c. of Hen, Joliff Clerk, late Dean of Bristow, who died in parts beyond the Seas, &c. I find another Hen. Joliff, in whom Dr. John Whyte Bishop of Winton tookd 1.65 much delight for his towardliness and great vertues; but he was a youth, and dy∣ing 19. Aug. 1548 must not be understood to be the same with Hen. Joliff beforemention'd, who also wrot against Nich. Rydley; nor Rob. Johnson of Alls. Coll. who was admitted Bach. of Law 1552, or thereabouts, to be the same with him that was the original Au∣thor of Responsio, &c.

About this time Abr. Ortelius of Antwerp spent some time in study, in the condition of a Sojourner, within this University. Afterwards he became a most admirable Cosmographer, the Pto∣lomey of his time, and the ornament of the learned World. He died in 1598.

Chanc. the same, viz. Dr. Rich. Coxe, to whom it was granted by the venerable congregation this year, Jul. 19, that whereas he was about to resign his office of Chancellour within a short time, he should never after be burdned with the office of Vicechancellour. The 14. Nov. following he resign'd it, and on the 18, the congre∣gation of Regents and Non-regents elected according to their new statutes Sir John Mason Knight, sometimes Fellow of Alls. Coll. lately Ambassadour for K. H. 8. into several Foreign Countries and now Dean of the Cath. Ch. at Winchester.

Vicechanc. or Prochanc. James Brokes D. D. of C. C. Coll. for the first part of the year, and Rich. Martiall D. D. of Ch. Ch. for the other part, being elected in Convocation Prochanc. 3. oct. In his absence Dr. Tresham officiated, and is sometimes stiled Procan∣cellarius.

Both afterwards writers, and the last an eminent Physician.

About 26 were admitted this year, one half of which are omit∣ted in the Register.

Bach. of LL.

Ellis Heywood of Alls. Coll.—He was afterwards a Jesuit and a writer.

Griffyth Willyams of New Coll.—In 1554 he became Chancel∣lour of the Dioc. of Worcester, in the place of Rob. Johnson resign∣ing; and whether he be the same Williams who was Chancellour to the Bishop of Glocester about the same time, (remembred by Joh. e 1.66 Fox for his strange, fearful, and sudden death which befel him in 1558, after Qu. Elizabeth came to the Crown, and therefore esteemed as a judgment on him for condemning a blind boy to be burnt, in 1556) I cannot justly tell you. In 1557. Will. Turnball LL. Bac. succeeded Griffyth Willyams in the Chancellourship of Worcester.

In the publick register, which is very imperfect in the beginning of this year, it partly appears that one John Bodye supplicated to be admitted Bach. of LL. See in the year 1554.

The last of the said Masters was afterwards one of the first Fel∣lows of St. Johns Coll. and the first Greek reader there. He was Tutor in the said house to Edm. Campian and Greg. Martin; but upon the alteration of Religion leaving the Coll, and his Country, was made a Ro. Cath. Priest, and afterwards was one of those that endured a tedious imprisonment in Wisbich Castle in Cambridg∣shire upon account of Religion.

Twenty Masters stood in the Act celebrated 18. July this year, but how many were admitted, it appears not in the register.

Bach. of Div,

• Thom. Hardyng of New Coll.
• Thom. Bickley.
• Tho. Bentham
  • of Magd. Coll.

The two last were afterwards Bishops.

Gilbert Burnford—In 1554 he had the Chancellourship of the Church of Wells granted to him under the Seal of the Bishop and Chapter thereof. But when he craved admission thereunto in 1560, he was denied, because he refused the oath of Supremacy. For the same reason he was deprived of the Prebendary of Hasilbere in that Church, and of a rectory in the Dioc. of Wells.

Note that whereas always before this time, when any Bach. of Div. was admitted, he was registred as admitted ad lecturam libri sententiarum, so now during the Reign of K Ed. 6. they are regi∣stred as admitted ad lectionem Paulinarum Epistolarum: And this year those that were admitted, are registred as admitted ad ena••ra∣tionem Epistolarum Apostolicarum in ipsis comitiis hoc anno, viz. 18. Julii.

Doct. of Civ. Law.

Hen. Jones of Alls. Coll.—This Person was one of the learned Doctors of the Civ. Law, whom Qu. Elizabeth consulted concern∣ing the matter of Lesley Bishop of Ross, who, while he was Em∣bassador from Mary Qu. of Scots to Qu. Elizabeth, consulted and

promoted a Rebellion against her. See in Camdens Annalls of Qu. Elizab. under the year 1571. This Dr. Jones died in, or near, Do∣ctors Commons, about the beginning of Feb. in 1591, and was bu∣ried, as it seems, in the Church of St. Bennet near to Pauls wharf in London.

☞ Not one Doctor of Phys. was admitted this year.

Doct. of Div.

Rich. Martiall of Ch. Ch.—Soon after he was made Prebendary of Winchester, and Dean of his Coll. by the intercession of the Lord Arundell (to whom he was Chaplain) made to the Queen. In the Reign of K. Ed. 6. he seem'd to be a great Reformer, and retra∣cted what he zealously had held in the Reign of K. Hen. 8. After the death of K. Ed. 6. he returned to his former opinions, and was more zealous for the Cath. cause than before: But when Qu. Elizab. succeeded, he absconded for a time, and went from place to place. At length being taken and conveyed to London, retracted again in hopes of being setled in his Deanery of Ch. Ch. which might have been, had he behaved himself moderately in the Reign of Qu. Mary. Afterwards, as 'tis said, he went into Yorkshire, where he died obscurely. In his Deanery succeeded G. Carew, as I have told you before, under the year 1522.

Hen. Pendleton of Brasn. Coll. was also admitted this year and stood, with Martiall, in the Act that followed.

Henr. Syddall LL. B. and Canon of Ch. Ch. who had studied sa∣cred letters for 18 years, did this year supplicate that he might put on, or be honour'd with, the cap of Doct. of Divinity. This desire of his was granted conditionally that he be inaugurated and dispute in Divinity in the next Act that should follow. But whe∣ther he was so, or did dispute, it appears not in the publick regi∣ster, or in the Catalogues of Inceptors.

Incorporations.

Nov. 12. Brian Baynes Bach. of Arts of Cambridge—The next year he proceeded in the said faculty, being then a member of Ch. Ch. which is all I know of him.

Nov …Valentine Dale of Alls. Coll. Doctor of the Civ. Law beyond the Seas, (at Oreleans I think) seems to be incorporated in that month, because he had supplicated more than once for that Degree—He was afterwards Master of the Requests, Dean of Wells, 1574, and about that time Embassadour to the French King upon the calling home of Sir Franc. Walsingham to be Secretary of State, &c. He died in his house near St. Pauls Cathedral 17. Nov. 1589. and was buried in the Parish Church of St. Gregory near to the said Cathedral, leaving behind him a Daughter named Dorothy, who being coheir to her Father, was married to Sir John North, Son and Heir to Roger Lord North.

Dec. 2. Walter Haddon President of Magd. Coll. in Oxon. and Doctor of the Civil Law at Cambridge.—This Person who was a Buckinghamshire Man born, and educated in Grammar learning in Eaton School, was chose Scholar of Kings Coll. in Cambridge, an. 1533, where arriving to great eminence in the Civil Law was made the Kings Professor of that faculty in the said University, and much esteemed for his eloquence and learning, especially by Le∣land who* 1.67 calls him Heveddunus. Afterwards, being a Man much addicted to reformation, he was by virtue of several letters written by the King in his behalf, elected, tho contrary to statute, President of Magd. Coll. where he continued about an year; and then learning it to prevent expulsion, sheltred himself in private du∣ring the Reign of Qu. Mary. After Qu. Elizabeth came to the Crown he was made one of her Masters of Requests, and by her em∣ployed in one or more Embassies. His works are (1) A sight of the Portugal Pearl, in answer to the Epistle of Hieron. Osorius entit. A Pearl for a Prince. This book which was written in Latin, I have not yet seen, only the translation of it into English, made by Abrah. Hartwell, an. 1565. in tw. (2) Lucubrationes. Lond. 1565. qu. col∣lected and published by Tho. Hatcher of Kings Coll. in Cambridge. These Lucubrations consist of Orations and Epistles. Among the Orations is that De obitu Mart. Buceri. and among the Epistles is that De vita & obitu fratrum Suffolciensium Henrics & Caroli Bran∣don. (3) Poemata. Lond. 1567. qu. collected also and published by the said Hatcher (4) Contra Hieron. Osorium. ejus{que} odiosas insectatio¦nes pro Evangelicae veritatis necessaria defensione, responsio apologeti∣••••. Lond. 1577. qu. This book was began and carried on by him more than half: Afterwards coming into the hands of John Fox, was by him finish'd and published, and at length translated into English by Jam. B••ll. (5) Poematum lib. duo Lond. 1592. oct. Be∣fore which Poems is printed the life of Wal••. Haddon. Whether these two books contain his Poems beforemention'd I cannot tell. I remember I once saw them, but dreaming not in the least of any future mentioning Dr. Haddon, I throw'd them aside after I had taken the title, otherwise I should have spoken more of him. He gave way to fate 21. January 1571 (leaving then behind him the Character of Orator d••lcis & foecundus,) and was buried on the 25. of the same month in the Grey fryers Church, now called Ch. Ch. within the City of London. Over his grave was soon after a com∣ly monument erected; which, with the Church it self, was con∣sumed by the dreadful conslagration that hapned in the said City in the beginning of Sept. 1666.

☞ This year Jul. 20. the publick Registrary or Scribe of the University, was deprived of his place for neglecting to set

down and enter in the common register the Acts of Congre∣gations for several years behind.

W••lson Bach of Div. and Preb. of Worcester to have succeeded John Pedder in the Deanery there, in May 1571; who dying 10. July 1586, was buried in a little isle, commonly called the Deans Chappel, joyning to the choi••e of the Cath. Ch. at Worcester, having before married Dorothy Daughter of Rob. Banister Esq. Whether this Tho. Wylson (whom I cannot find among the number of our Bachelaurs of Div.) be the same with Tho. Wylson of Brasn. Coll. mention'd under the year 1546, I cannot yet tell.

Admitted 24.

☞ Not one Bach. of Div. was admitted this year.

Doct. of Civ. Law.

June … Thom. Whyte of New Coll.—This Person who was now Prebendary of Winchester, was elected Warden of his Coll. in the month of Sept. this year, being then a zealous Man for the Rom. Cath. Religion. In Sept. 1557 he succeeded Will. Pye in the Archdeaconry of Berks. and in Aug. 1571 Hen. Parry in the Chancellourship of the Church of Sarum, having before been Preb. of Vlfcomb in that Church. He died 12. June 1588 and was buried in the choir belonging to the Cathedral there.

Jun…. John Kennall—He was afterwards Canon of Ch. Ch. Chancellour of Rochester, Archdeacon of Ox••n, in the place of Dr. Wat. Wryght deceased, an. 1561. and Canon residentiary of the Cath. Ch. at Exeter; where dying in 1591, Joh. Drewry LL. D. succeeded him in the Archdeaconry of Ox.

Oct. 30. Nich. Harpesfield of New Coll.

☞ Not one Doct. of Phys. or Div. was admitted this year.

Incorporations.

Will. Mowse or Mosse Dr. of the Civ. Law of Cambridge, was in∣corporated this year, but the particular time when, I cannot find.— He was of Trin. hall in that Vniversity, was this year the Kings Professor of the Civ. Law in this of Oxon, but whether in his own right, or in that of Dr. Will. Awbrey, is yet to me uncertain▪ On the first of March 1560 he was installed Prebend of Botevant in the Church of York, being at that time Master of the aforesaid hall, and dying in 1588, became a considerable benefactor to that house.

Andr. Perne D. of D. of Cambridge, was also this year incorpo∣rated, but the day or month when, appears not.—He was edu∣cated in Peter house, whereof he was Fellow, and Master; and

in 1557 was made the second Dean of Ely in the place of Rob. Sty∣ward, who died 22. Sept. the same year. This Dr. Perne who is reported to have been a mutable* 1.68 Man in his Religion, and of a facetious nature, yet a great Mecaenas of learning, died at Lam∣beth in Surrey 26. Apr. 1589, and was buried in the Chancel of the Parish Church there; whereupon John Bell D. of D. succeed∣ed him in his Deanery. You may read many things of this Dr. And. Perne in the book of Acts and Monuments of the Church, &c. under the year 1557. written by John Fax; wherein you'll find him a zealous Man for the Cath. cause in the Reign of Qu. Mary. One of both his names who was M. of A. and sometimes Fellow of Ka∣therine hall in Cambridge (afterwards Minister of Wilby in Northamp∣tonshire) was a frequent Preacher before the Members of the Long Parliament, that began at Westminster an. 1640, ran with those times, and published several Sermons. I find another And. Perne LL. D. sometimes an Inhabitant of Westwratting in Cambridgshire, who died in 1680.

Anth. Russh of Magd. Coll. was admitted the same day.

Jul. 11. John Bodye—One of both his names supplicated to be admitted Bach. of the Civil Law, an. 1552, which I take to be the same with this who was Bach. of Arts, but not the same who was executed at And••ver in Hampshire, an. 1583 for denying the Queens Supremacy over the Church of England. See more in these Fasti, among the Masters of Arts, an. 1575.

Jul. 16. Tho. Atkyns—He was elected Bachelaur-Fellow of Mert. Coll. this year, in whose Cat. or Alb. of Fellows, this addi∣tion is put to his name,—Fuit procurator generalis regius apud Wal∣los, & Reginae Elizabethae à consiliis ibidem, & ad audiendum & de∣terminandum malefacta cujuscun{que} generis justitiarius, &c. He was born in the Dioc. of Worcester, but took no higher Degree in this University.

Admitted 48.

Doct. of Musick.

Apr. 21. John Shepheard who had been a Studen•• in Musick for the space of 20 years, did then by his Dean supplicate the ven. congregation that he might be licensed to proceed in that faculty, that is to be admitted Doctor of Musick; but whether he was ad∣mitted, or stood in any Act following it appears not in our registers. The words of some of his Church services are made publick in The Divine Services and Anthems usually sung in Cathedrals, &c. Lond. 1663. oct. collected and published by James Clifford, as I have told you under the year 1548. I have seen some of his compositions of six parts in six MS. Books, remaining at this day in the Archives of our publ. Musick School, containing Church Musick or Anthems and certain Songs.

Mast. of Arts.

But 13 were admitted this year, among whom Will. Allyn or Alan of Oriel Coll. was one, afterwards a Cardinal and Archb. as I have before told you; and Sextus Quaterman of New Coll. ano∣ther.

In an Act celebrated 16. July, were 19 that stood, of whom the said Allyn was junior, whom we usually call Junior of the Act, who with the Senior, perform exercise in the name of the rest of the Masters.

Bach. of Div.

Jun. 7. Arthur Cole of Magd. Coll. sometimes Cross-bearer to Cardinal Wolsey, now Fellow of Eaton Coll. and Canon of Windsore was adm. to the reading of the Sentences by Dr. O. Oglethorp Dean of Winds. in a certain Chamber belonging to his Lodgings there, by power and authority given to him for that purpose by Dr. Rich. Smyth Provicechancellour of the University.—This Mr. Cole had his grace granted in order to the taking of that Degree in 1545, and in 1555 he succeeded the said Dr. Oglethorp in the Presidentship of Magd. Coll.

Jul. 5. John Boxall of New Coll.—He was now Archdeacon of Ely, and Warden of the Coll. near Winchester, &c.

Besides these two, were but 3 more admitted this year.

Doct. of Civil Law.

Jul. 13. Tho. Huyck of Mert. Coll.—He died at London 1575, having a little before been made the first and original Fellow of Jesus Coll. to which he was a Benefactor.

Rob. Raynold of New Coll. was licensed to proceed the same day.— He was now Fellow of Wykehams Coll. near to Winchester, Pre∣bendary of Linc. and Chichester, and about 1557, Master of the Hospital of St. Cross near to Winton.

Will. Awbrey of Alls. Coll. was admitted also on the same day.— See before, under the year 1549. A Person he was of exquisite learning and singular prudence and therefore mention'd with honour by Thuanus and others. He was born in Bricknockshire, particular∣ly, as I conceive, at Cantre, wrot divers things, but not printed; among which are several letters to his Cousin Dr. John Dee concern∣ing the Sovereignty of the Seas, (some of which I have seen) and dy∣ing 23. Jul. 1595 was buried within the Cath. Church of St. Paul in London. Afterwards there was a Mon. with his bust set over his grave, which, with the Cathedral it self was consumed in that dismal conflagration which hapned in that great City in the begin∣ning of Sept. 1666.

Doct. of Physick.

May 9. Rich. Master of Alls. Coll.—On the 14. of March 1562 he was installed Prebendary of Fridaythorpe in the Church of York, being about that time Physician of the Chamber to Qu. Elizabeth. His eldest Son George Master setled in the Abbey at Cirencester in Glocestershire, where his posterity yet remaineth. Another Son named Robert was Doctor of the Civ. Law in 1594, as I shall tell you when I come to that year.

Rich. Caldwell or Chaldwall lately of Ch. Ch. but originally of Brasnose Coll. was admitted the same day.

Thom. Francis of Ch. Ch. was also admitted the same day—After this Person had taken the Degree of M. of A. he applyed his stu∣dies to the Theological faculty, but the encouragement thereof being in these days but little, he transfer'd himself to the School of Physicians, and with the consent and approbation of Dr. Wryght the Vicechancellour, was entred on the Physick line, 4. Aug. 1550. In the year after, I find him supplying the place and office of the Kings Professor of Physick, being, I presume, only Deputy for Dr. John Warner, and on the 9. Mar. 1553 he was admitted Bach. of Phys. In 1561 he succeeded Hugh Hodgson in the Provostship of Qu. Coll. and was afterwards Physician to Qu. Elizabeth and much respected by her.

Jul. 14. John Symings or Symmings—In what Coll. or Hall edu∣cated, I know not. Sure I am that he was one of the Coll. of Phy∣sicians in London, where he was in great practice; and dying in his house in Little St. Barthelmew in Smithfield. 7. July 1588, was buried in the Church in the Spittle there.

Doct. of Div.

Both zealous and stout Champions for the Rom. Cath. cause.

Jun. 20. It was then granted to Hen. Cole LL. D. of New Coll. that he might have the Degrees of Bach. and Doctor of Divinity conferr'd upon him, without any disputations or exercise done for the same.

Incorporations.

Certain Doctors of Div. of the Univ. of Cambridge having been commanded by their Chancellour Dr. Steph. Gardiner Bishop of Winchester to go to Oxford, and there to joyn themselves with other. Doctors and learned Men of that University, to dispute with Archb. Cranmer, Bish. Rydley, and B. Latimer concerning matters of Reli∣gion, did accordingly come to Oxom. 13. of Apr. this year, and tak∣ing up their quarters at the Cross-inn near to Quatervois, were the next day incorporated. The names of them are these.

John Young D. D. Master of Pembroke hall and Vicechancellour.— He was a learned Man, and is stiled by some Writers Joh. Giovanus.

John Seton or Seaton D. D. of St. Johns Coll. in Cambridge and Prebendary of Winchester.—He was now famous in that Univer∣sity for the brief and methodical book of Logick which he had com∣posed for the use of junior Scholars.

Rich. Atkinson D. D. Provost of Kings Coll.

Will. Glynne D. D. Master of Queens Coll. and now or lately Arch∣deacon of Anglesie.—In 1555 Sept. 8. he was consecrated Bishop of Bangor within the Cath. Ch. of St. Paul in London, and died a little before Qu. Mary.

Tho. Watson D. D. Master of St. Johns Coll. and Chaplain to Gar∣diner B. of Winchester.—In 1553 Nov. 18. he was instituted Dean of Durham by Dr. Tonstall B. thereof, on the deprivation of Rob. Horne, and in Aug. 1557 he was consecrated B. of Linc. From which See being removed by the authority of Parliament in the beginning of Q. Eliz. as being an enemy to reformation, and the Qu. Supre∣macy over the Church, was committed Prisoner to several places and kept in durance in and near London for about 20 years. At length in the year 1580, he, and Jo. Fekenham, being sent Prisoners, with others, to Wisbich Castle in Cambridgshire, continued there to the time of his death. He was buried in the Ch. belonging to the Town of Wisbich 27. of Sept. an. 1584. In his younger years he was given much to Poetry and making of Plays and gained great commenda∣tions for his Antigone out of Sophocles by the learned Men of his time; who have farther avowed that as George Buchannans Tragedy called Jepthe have among all Tragedies of that time, been able to abide the touch of Aristotles precepts, and Eu••ipides Examples: So hath also the Tragedy of this Tho. Watson called Absalon which was in a most wonderful manner admired by them, yet he would never suf∣fer it to go abroad, becausea 1.69 in locis paribus, Anapestus is twice or thrice used instead of Jambus. In his elder years, being

then of a sour disposition as oneb 1.70 saith, and ••arned in deep Di∣vinity, but surly with an austere gravity, as anotherc 1.71 tells us, published several matters of Divinity, among which were Two Ser∣mons of the real Presence, before Qu. Mary, on Rom. 12. 1. &c. Lond. 1554. oct. and Wholsome and Cath. Doctrine concerning the seven Sacraments, &c. Lond. 1558. qu. This Book consists only of Hemilies.

Cuthbert Scot D. D. Master of Christs Coll. and Prebendary of York.—He was afterwards Bish. of Chester.

Thomas Sedgwyke D. D. the Queens Prof. of Div. in Cambr.

Alban Langdale D. D. of S. John's Coll. in Cambr.—In 1556, he being then Parson of Buxted in Sussex, was made Archdeacon of Lewes on the death of one Dr. Breisley, and about the same time Prebendary of A••pleford in the Church of York. In the beginning of Qu. Eliz. he was deprived of those, and other, Dignities, (1) Because he had behaved himself zealous in the Reign of Q. Mary, in carrying on the Rom. Catholick Cause against the Protestants. (2) Because he denied the Queens Supremacy over the Church. He lived afterwards many years a constant Member of the Church of Rome, but when or where he died, I cannot tell. See more of him in Nich. Ridley pag. 78.

He was the only person that was admitted Bach. of Div. this year. Two or more there were that supplicated for the said De∣gree of whom Will. Cholwell M.

May 1554, to preach concerning various matters which were controverted in Qu. Maries Reign.

Doct. of Civ. Law.

Feb. 17. Thomas Darbyshire of Broadgates Hall, now Canon of Pauls, Chancellor of the Diocess of London, and Archdeacon of Essex.—In the beginning of Qu. Elizabeth he was deprived of his Spiritualities, whereupon Tho. Cole (who had been Dean of Salisbury, as 'tis* 1.72 said, in the time of K. Ed. 6. and afterwards an Exile in the time of Qu. Mary) succeeded him in his Archdeaconry, who kept it to the time of his death, which was in the beginning of the year 1571. After Darbyshire was deprived, he went beyond the Seas, and at length entred himself into the Society of Jesus, and became a noted person among the Rom. Catholicks. He had great skill in the Scriptures, and was profound in Divinity: he catechised also many years publickly at Paris in the Latin Tongue, with great concourse and approbation of the most learned of that City. Whether he wrot any thing I find not as yet, only that he died in a good old Age at Pont à Mousson in Loraine an. 1604. (2 Jac. 1.) While he was Chanc. of London he had much to do in examining Hereticks, as they were then called, that were brought before Bishop Bonner about matters of Faith.

Jan…. John Thirlbye Bish. of Ely, and Doct. of the Civ. and Can. Law of Cambridge, was incorp. in that month.—He had been sometimes Fellow of Trinity Hall in that University.

Whereas 'tis affirmed by some that Barthelm. Carranza of Mi∣randa, a Spanish Fryer of the Order of S. Dominick, (afterwards Archbishop of Toledo) was a Reader about this time in Oxon, and supposed to be incorporated also with Pet. de Soth••, I can find no such matter in the publick Register of this time, or elsewhere, tho there is no doubt but that he was in Oxon for some time, and abode there as a Stranger.

Law. But because they were zealous Papists, or as John Fox saith, blinded with Papistry, the just Judgment of God therefore,* 1.73 as he adds, fell upon them, that is to say, that Hannington, who had been Pupil to John Mar∣tiall (who wrot of the Cross) was drown'd in a Well about Rome, or as some say, about Padua; and Plankeney drowned himself about Rewley near Oxon, an. 1566. (he should have said 1565.) and both were taken up with Crucifixes about their necks.

Jul. 8. John Martiall of New Coll.—Afterwards he became noted for his Writings against Dr. Jam. Calfill.

He was an excellent Orator, and the best of his time for a Ciceronian Stile. He collected se∣veral matters from Cicero, which coming to the view of the learned Camden, he judged them very fit to be printed. This Th. Palmer, after he had left his Principality, had a considerable Estate given to him in Essex; but he being a zealous Rom. Catholick, suffered much in his Person and Estate for Religion sake, and therefore numbred by those of his Profession among the Confessors for the Cause in the time of Qu. Elizabeth.

Dec. 17. Rich. Mulcaster of Ch. Ch.

March 10. Rich. Barnes of Bras. Coll.—He was afterwards Bishop of Durham.

This year Tho. Cooper M. A. and Master of the Free-School joyning to Magd. Coll. great Gate, did supplicate the ven. Congre∣gation, that whereas he had studied Philosophy 12 years, and Physick five, he might be admitted to the reading of any Book of the Aphorismes of Hypocrates. Which being, as it seems, granted in Oct, did practise Physick in Qu. Maries Reign. But when Qu. Elizabeth came to the Crown. he returned to his Divinity, and at length became Bishop of Winchester.

Bach. of Div.

July 23. Tho. Neale of New Coll.

29. Laurence Vaus, Vaux or Vaulx, sometimes of C. C. Coll. now Warden of the Coll. at Manchester.

Six Masters of Arts did supplicate this year to be admitted to the same Degree, but were not: Among them Edmund Daniel late∣ly Fellow of Merton Coll. was one, who was now Prebendary of Worcester and Dean of Hereford; in the first of which he succeeded Gilb. Bourne, and in the other Dr. Hugh Coren or Curwyn. In 1559 he was depriv'd of the said Dignities; whereupon his Prebendship was bestowed on Rob. Avise M. A. and his Deanery on Joh. Ellis, as it seems, who in Nov. 1570 became Preb. of Worcester.

Another who supplicated for that Degree was Nich. Smyth of New Coll. now Fellow of Wykeham's Coll. near Winton, and af∣terwards Fellow of that at Eaton near Windsore.

Doct. of Civ. Law.

Jul. 8. Reb. Westen of Alls. Coll.—He had formerly been Prin∣cipal of Broadgates Hall, and Deputy Professor of the Civ. Law (while he was Bach. of that Faculty) for Dr. John Storie, but now Dean of the Arches, and Chancellour of Exeter. Afterwards he became (as it seems) Dean of Wells, and at length one of the Lords Justices of Ireland; and for six years Lord Chancellour of that Realm. He was so learned judicious, and upright in the Court of Judicature all the time that he was Lord Chancellour (I speak this from his Epitaph) that no Order or Decree that he made, was ever questioned or reversed. He paid his last debt to Nature 20 May 1573, and was buried in S. Patricks Church at Dublin. Over his Grave is a noble Monument yet remaining.

This Dr. Weston was the only Doctor of his Fac. that was li∣censed to proceed this year, at which time was such a scarcity of Doctors of the Civil Law in the University, that there was a dis∣pensation pass'd the House, that Tho. Darbyshire an Inceptor in that Faculty, might undergo the place of Doctor in the Depositions of the said Dr. Weston.

☞ Not one Doctor of Physick or Div. was admitted, or licen∣sed to proceed this year; Will. Wryght Bac. of Div. and Master of Ball. Coll. did supplicate to proceed, but was denied.

Incorporations.

June 5. Rich. Mulcaster B. of A. of Cambridge.—Soon after he took the Degree of Master, as I have before told you, and at length became a noted Writer of his time.

Jul. 21. Nicholas Ormanet Doctor of the Civ. Law of Padua, now one of the prime Visitors appointed by Cardinal Pole Legate à latere, to visit this University, was then incorporated.—John Fox in his Book of Acts and Mon. of the Church, &c. under the year 1557, tells us, that he was the Pope's Datary, but false; for at this time I find him thus written, Nich. Ormanettus Pata∣vinus Archipresbyter plebis Bodolesini Viennensis dioc. He had been recommended to the Service of the said Cardinal by Pope Julius 3. who had an especial esteem for him; and being a Visitor, and an haughty person, as the Protestants esteem'd him, he thought it not fit to be presented, and stand bare before the Commissary or Vice∣chanc. for Incorporation; and therefore it was agreed upon by the Members of the House, that he should be diplomated; by vertue of which he was also made Doctor of the Canon Law. By some of the reformed Party now (1556) remaining in the University, he was esteemed a supercilious man, and intolerably arrogant, but by the Rom. Cath. severe, pious, and prudent. He afterwards sate in the Council at Trent, was made Bish. of Padua by Pope Pius 5. an. 1570, in which See sitting 7 years, died full of praise, and in a good old Age.

Nov. 12. Arthur Yeldard M. A. of Cambr.—He was afterwards made the second President of Trin. Coll.

Pauls Cathedral, or Abbat of Westminster, had the De∣gree of Doct. of Div. confer'd on him, without any Exercise per∣formed for the same.—At the same time, he being absent, it was granted by the venerable Regents and Non-Regents, that either Dr. Will. Cheadsey, Dr. John Harpesfield. or Dr. Rich. Smyth, might carry to, and give, him the Ensigns or Badges of his Doctorship.

July 1. Rob. Newton of Exeter Coll.—He was elected Rector of the said house on 17 Oct. following, and afterwards became the second perpetual Rector.

John Wolley of Mert. Coll. was admitted the same day.—This person, who was a Shropshire man born, was elected probat. Fell. of that House in 1553, and about the time of his proceeding in Arts, studied the Civ. and Can. Law, but took no Degree in ei∣ther in this University. In Nov. or Dec. this year, he travelled beyond the Seas, where he improved himself much as to Learn∣ing, knowledge of Men and Manners. After the death of Roger Ascham, which hapned in 1568, he became Latin Secretary to the Queen; and in 1569 he was made Prebendary of Compton-Dundo in the Church of Wells. In 1578 he was made Dean of Carlisle (tho a Layman) on the death of Sir Thomas Smyth, and in 1589 Chancellour of the most noble Order of the Garter. In 1592 he was made a Knight, and about the same time one of the Privy Council to her Majesty, being then a person most eminently per∣spicuous for his Learning, Piety, Integrity, Goodness, and Gra∣vity. He died at Pyrford in Survey (where he had an Estate) in the latter end of Feb. or beginning of March. an. 1591, whereupon his Body was buried in the middle of the Chancel behind the high Altar of S. Pauls Cathedral. Over his Grave was, soon after, laid a flat stone with an Inscription thereon, under which also Sir Franc.

Wolloy his Son and Heir, sometimes of Merton Coll. also, was bu∣ried an. 1611, as also Elizabeth Widow of Sir John. All whose bodies were removed in 1614, and buried between S. George's Chappel and that of our Lady, within the Precincts of the said Cathedral, and had a very goodly Tombe with a large Inscription on it, erected over them; which was, with the Cathedral it self, consum'd in the dreadful Fire that hapned in London in the begin∣ning of Sept. an. 1666.

Admitted 18.

Bach. of Div.

Only one was admitted this year. viz. Hen. Henshaw alias Heron∣shaw of Magd. Coll. Dec. 3.—In the next year he was elected Rector of Linc. Coll.

There were also but two that supplicated for the said Degree, one of which was named Will. Ely of Brasn. Coll. who was made the second President of that of S. John, by the Founder thereof, an. 1559. In 1563 or thereabouts, he was removed from that place for maintaining the Pope's Authority, and not the Queens, over the Church of England: whereupon leaving Oxon, lived ma∣ny years obscurely, having, if I mistake not, entred into some re∣ligious Order beyond the Seas. Afterwards being seized upon for a Seminary, he was committed to the common Prison at Hereford, where remaining, several years, died an aged man an. 1609. being then accounted by those of his perswasion, a most holy Confessour. What I have farther to observe of him is this, that when Archb. Cranmer was brought to the Stake to be burnt at Oxon. he took leave of some of his Friends standing by, and seeing this Will. Ely among them, went to stake him by the hand, but he drawing back, said, It was not lawful to salute Hereticks and especially such an one that had falsly returned unto his Opinions that he had forsworn, &c.

Afterwards they both came into England, were taken and committed to custody in Wisbich Castle in Cam∣bridgeshire, where they endured a tedious Imprisonment, and therefore accounted by those of their perswasion, Confessors. Con∣temporary with them, was one Thom. Bramston alias Brimston a young Fellow of the same Coll. who with leave from the Founder thereof, lived with John E••kenham Abbat of Westminster; but up∣on the alteration of Religion which was made soon after, he went beyond the Seas, and was made a Rom. Cath. Priest. Afterwards he returned into England, was taken and committed to custody in Wisbich Castle, where we find him 1595. Afterwards being set at

But two more, besides the said two, were admitted, and three there were that supplicated; one of whom was called Frat. Anton Reschius or Raschius, who for the space of twelve years had studied Divinity in Paris and Oxford. His Grace was granted simplicity in July, but whether he was ever admitted it appears not. He was one of the Fryers that was appointed by publick. Authority to undo the Doctrine that P. Martyr and others had setled in the Uni∣versity in the time of K. Ed. 6. and is the same if I mistake not, whom John Fox. in his book of Acts and M••n. of the Church, doth call Fryer Richard in his Discourse of the burning of Archb. Cran¦mer at Oxon.

For the same degree also, did supplicate Rich. Slythurst M. A. and Bach. of Physick, but was not admitted, or licensed to proceed.

Doct. of Div.

Jul. 6. Fr. Joh. de Villa Garcia or Garcina the Kings publick Pro∣fessor of Div. in this University.—This person who was now very forward in promoting the Rom. Cath. Cause in this University, (being authorized by publick Authority) was born at a Town in Spain called Garcia or Garcevile, and being from his Childship much addicted to Letters, he was while a Boy, received among, and instructed by, the Dominicans or Black Fryers in his own Coun∣try; so that in a short time profiting much under them in several sorts of Learning, especially in Divinity, he took the Degree of Bach. of that Faculty in the University of Valladolid, he being then a Mem∣ber of S. Gregories Coll. there. Afterwards upon the performance of certain Exercise for the said Degree in this University, had it confer'd upon him, as I have told you, under the year 1555; and this year being licensed to proceed, stood in an Act celebrated in S. Maries Church on the 11 of July. This is the person, who with Hen. Syddal Canon of Ch. Ch. a very inconstant man in his Religi∣on, took great pains in perswading Archb. Cranmer to recant his Opinions, when he was condemn'd to be burnt at Oxon, and the same who hath this character given of him by one* 1.74 living in his time in this University.—Pr••elegit autem nostra memoria Frater Johannis Hispanus scientissimus, cum 27 non excesserat annos; Plato∣nis autem disciplinacum cyclopedian absolvisset: tum apud Philosophos Oxonienses Platonicam & Aris telicam. mysticam & sacram professus est. &c. Whether he hath published any Books I cannot tell. Sure I am, that after Qu. Elizabeth came to the Crown he returned to the Country from whence he came, leaving then behind him the character of a most subtile Philosopher and Theologist.

This Fryer was the only person that was admitted D. of D. this year; and but 3 there were that supplicated for the said Degree, among whom were Baldwyn Norton Bath. of Div. and Divinity Reader of Magd. Coll who the next year became Prebendary of Langtoft in the Ch. of York.

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.

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 * 1.76 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.

Apr. 7. Christoph. Perkins—In what Coll. or Hall this Person was educated I know not: Sure I am that he leaving the Univer∣sity abruptly without compleating his Degree by Determination, went beyond the Seas, and having spent some time in one of the new erected Seminaries, entred into the society of Jesus, and lived among them in good repute for his learning. At length upon the coming to Rome (under the name of a Traveller) of Mr. William Cecill (afterwards Earl of Exeter) Grandson to Will. Lord Burleigh, there were whisperings in the English Coll. of doing him some mis∣chief, in revenge for what his Grandfather had done in apprehend∣ing several Priests and putting them to death, yet they came to no∣thing. Whereupon Perkins possessed him with fears, and took up∣on him to direct him what to do and how tobehave himself: And when Mr. Cecill had seen Rome and the Monuments thereof, Perkins did conduct him out of the City; and being a Man of a very great understanding, and Mr. Cecill therefore delighting much in his com∣pany, he perswaded him to accompany him to England. Afterwards they came together, and Mr. Cecill recommending him to his Grand∣father for a wise understanding Man, and one that had taken much care of him at his being in Rome, and withal having been a Jesuit, he was now reconciled to the Church of England, the Lord Bur∣leigh did thereupon precure for him the Deanery of Carlile, which had been before possess'd by Sir John Wolley, and about the same time procured of the Queen that he should be employed into Ger∣many, to make answer in the Queens name to the complaints of the Hanse-towns about their customes▪ to the Emperour, an. 1595. After his return, tho it was the desire of the said Lord Burleigh that he should live at Carlile and follow the Ministry and nothing else, yet he lived in London, and being brought into the acquaintance

of Dr. Bancroft Bishop of that place, that Doctor did make use of him both for his discovery beyond the Seas, and likewise upon other occasions. In 1600 he with the said Doctor and Joh. Swale, were as Delegates or Embassadors, sent by the Queen to Embden to parley with the Delegates of Denmark concerning matters of traf∣fick, &c. and Perkins performed his part well as to that matter. Soon after by the said Bishops endeavours he became substitute to Sir Dan. Donne Master of the Requests, who, by reason of his age, could not well attend that place; and when he died he became Master in his own right and a Knight. About that time George Duke of Buckingham who was in great favour with K. Jam. 1. Sir Christopher thought that his only way to rise higher was to be married to one of his Relations: Whereupon tho he had vowed Virginity, he took to Wife his Mothers Sister, yet with this con∣dition, that she should not expect that he should pay old debts, to which she made answer, that she would expect none. Afterwards Buckingham hearing of the said vow, detested him and made a re∣solution that he should rise no higher. Afterwards out of a re∣venge, Sir Christopher made his estate over to a Servant of his that was childless and in a deep consumption; and he dying within a few months after Sir Christopher, (who departed this mortal life in the month of Aug. 1622.) the said Servant left most of the estate to the Lady. I have been credibly informed† 1.77 by a good Author that the said Sir Christopher had a hand in contriving and drawing up the Oath of Allegiance, while he was intimate with Dr. Ban∣croft. In the Deanery of Carlile succeeded the said Sir Christopher Dr. Franc. White afterwards Bishop of that place.

Cheyney the present Bish. of Glocester, should have the Degree of D. of D. confer'd on him, by a certain Graduate, &c.—This also was accordingly done after he had been incorporated Bach. of Div. but the day when, and place where, appears not, He was originally a R. Catholick, but in the beginning of Qu. Mary a disputer against the Mass and real presence in the Convocation of the Clergy then held, for which he absconded. In the beginning of Qu.

In the time of Ed. 6. he was eje∣cted, restored in the beginning of Qu. Mary and ejected again in the beginning of Queen Elizabeth. But Lancelot Salkeld B. of A. must not be taken to be the same with the other, because later in time. His successor in the said Deanery in the time of Ed. 6. and begin∣ning of Qu. Elizabeth, was Sir Tho. Smythe, as I have told you among the Writers, under the year 1609.

Apr. 6. Will. Wygges of St. Johns Coll.—He afterwards left his Religion and Country, went beyond the Seas and was made a R. Cath. Priest. Afterwards returning into England, was seized on, and committed to custody in Wisbich Castle; where, upon some quarrel that followed between him and one of the Gentlemen, (that were Papists and Prisoners there) he was, as a certaina 1.80 note in∣forms me slain, tho elsewhere it appearsb 1.81 that he was only beaten by one Bluet a Jesuit.

On the 30. of Apr. Joh. Rugge, who for the space of 6 years had studied the Civ. Law in upper Germany, did supplicate for the Degree of Bach. of that fac. but whether he was admitted it ap∣pears not.

Incorporations.

In the beginning of Sept this year Qu. Elizabeth being entertain'd by the Oxonian Muses, these Cambridge Men following were incor∣porated on the sixth day of the same month.

Tho. Bynge Master of Arts and Fellow of Peter house in Cam∣bridge —He was lately Proctor of that University, afterward Orator in the place of Will. Master, Master of Clare Hall and the Kings Professor of the Civil Law in the said University.

Tho. Preston M. of A. and Fell. of Kings Coll.—He acted so admirably well in the Tragedy of Dido before Qu. Elizabeth, when she was entertained at Cambridge, an. 1564, and did so gentilely and gracefully dispute before her, that she gave* 1.82 him 20 l. per an. for so doing. He was afterwards Doctor of the Civil Law and Master of Trin. Hall in that University.

Five more of the said University were then incorporated Masters of Arts also, among whom Edw. Stanhop was one.

On the same day, Sept. 6. were these Doctors following incorpo∣rated.

Afterwards he was one of the ordinary Masters of the Requests, Master of St. Catherines Hospital near to the Tower of London, Embassador into the Low Countries in 1577, and in 1579. Feb. 5. had the Deanery of Durham confer'd upon him by the Queen, (void by the death of Will. Whittyngham) he being then Secretary of State and Privy Counsellor to her. While he enjoyed the Office of Secretary, he became famous for three things. (1) For quick dispatch and industry. (2) For constant dili∣gence, and thirdly for a large and strong memory. He hath writ∣ten. (1) Epistola de vita & obitu duorum fratrum Suffolciensium Hen∣rici & Caroli Brand••n. Lond. 1552. qu. 'Tis set before a book of verses made on their deaths by several Scholars of Oxon and Cam∣bridge.

June the same year in St. Catherines Church in East-Smithfield, near to the Tower of London. The Male issue which he left behind him, begotten on the body of Anne Daugh. of Sir Will. Winter Knight, setled at Sheepwash in Lincolnshire, where the name did lately, if not still, remain. Dr Tob. Mathew did not succeed him in the Deanery of Durham till August 1583.

Rob. Huick M. of A. of this University, and sometimes Fellow of Merton Coll. afterwards Doctor of Phys. of Cambridge, and Fel∣low of the Coll. of Physicians at London, and Physician to the Queen, was then (Sept. 6.) incorporated Doct. of Phys. in the house of Barthel. Lant, by the Commissary and two Proctors.

John Robinson Doct. of Div. of Cambridge, sometimes a member of Pembroke Hall there, now President of St. Johns Coll. in this University, was also then incorporated—In 1574 May 31. he was installed Archdeacon of Bedford, in the place, as it seems, of Will. Rodde, and about 1576 he succeeded John Aybner or Elmer in the Archdeaconry of Lincoln; of which Church he was about that time made Chauntor.

What relation there was between this John Pory and the other who was Doct. of Div. I know not; nor whether he be the same John Pory M. A. who was installed Ca∣non of the seventh stall in the Church of Westminster, on the re∣signation of John Hyll, an. 1568.

Mar. 22. George Ackworth LL. D. and sometimes Orator of Cam∣bridge, was incorporated in that Degree—He hath published. (1) Oratio in restitutione Buceri & Fagii. Printed 1562. oct. (2) Pro∣lego••••n••n lib. 2. de visibili Monarchia contra Nich. Sanderi Monar∣chiam Lond. 1573. qu.

Creations.

Aug. 27. Rich. Barber Bach. of the LL. and Warden of Alls. Coll. was then actually created Doctor of the Laws in an upper Chamber belonging to him as Warden, by Dr. Will. Awbrey and Dr. Rob. Longher, by vertue of a Commission directed to them from the ven. Convocation.—See more among the Bach. of Law, an. 1540.

Edw. Atslow M. of A. and Fellow of New Coll. was actually cre∣ated Doct. of Phys. the same day, in the house of Dr. Hen. Baylie situated in the Highstreet leading to the Quadrivium, by Dr. Thom. Francis and him the said Dr. Baylie by vertue of a Commission, &c.

Rob. Barnes Bach. of Phys. sometimes Fellow of Mert. Coll. was also actually created Doctor of that Faculty in the same place and on the same day, by vertue of a Commission, &c.

Aug. 30. Roger Gifford Bach. of Physick, sometimes Fellow of Merton College, now, or lately, Fellow of that of Allsoules, was actually created Doct. of that Fac. by Dr. Walter, and Henry Baylie, in the house of the said Henry, by vertue of a Commission, &c. This Doctor Gifford was afterwards President of the Coll. of Physitians at London, and Physitian to Qu. Elizabeth.

Note that the aforesaid four persons were created, because they were appointed by the Convocation to dispute before Qu. Eliza∣beth when she was to be entertained by the Academians in the be∣ginning of Sept. this year.

After she had been entertained, these noble Persons following, with others of quality, were actually created Masters of Arts, on the 6 day of the said month of Sept. viz.

Edward Vere Earl of Oxford.—He was Son of John Vere Earl of the said place, who dying in 1562, left this his Son Edw. a vast Estate, which he afterwards squandred, for the most part, away, upon some distaste taken against his Wives Father Will. Lord Bur∣leigh L. Treasurer of England, who refused to endeavour, when it laid in his power, to save the life of his beloved and entire Friend Thomas Duke of Norfolk for what he was charged with relating to Mary Queen of Scots. This most noble Earl of Oxon was in his younger days an excellent Poet and Comedian, as several matters of his Composition, which were made publick, did shew, which, I presume, are now lost and worn out. All that I have yet seen are certain Poems on several Subjects, thus entit. (1) His good name being blemished, be bewayleth. (2) The complaint of a Lover wearing black and tawnie. (3) Being in love he complaineth. (4) A lover rejected complaineth. (5) Not attaining to his desire, he com∣playneth. (6) His mind not quietly setled be complayneth thus; with many such like things, that were highly valued in their time. He gave way to fate in a good old age 24 June 1604, and was, as I conceive, buried by the body of his Father, at Earls Colne in Essex.

Will. Haward or Howard Baron of Effingham, Lord Chamberlain to the Queen.—He was Son of Thomas, the second Duke of Nor∣folk, by Agnes his second Wife, dau. of Hugh Tilney, and Sister and Heir to Sir Philip Tilney of Boston in Lincolnshire, Kt.

Tho. Butler Earl of Ormond.—This person is one of the Ancestors of the present Duke of Ormond, was now in great favour with Qu. Elizab. and by her employed several times in matters of con∣cern relating to Ireland, especially in that of quelling the Rebel∣lion there, made by some of his house, as Sir Edm. Butler, Pierce and Edw. his Brethren.

Ambrose Dudley Earl of Warwick.—He was the eldest Son that survived of Joh. Dudley Duke of Northumberland, (beheaded for High Treason in the Reign of Qu. Mary) and elder Brother to Rob. Dudley Earl of Leicester, Chanc. of this University.

Hen. Lord Strange Son of Edw. Earl of Derby.—He became Earl of Derby after his Fathers Death, an. 1572.

• Edw. Stafford
• Joh. Sheffield
  • Barons.

The first of these two Barons was the true heir of the Staffords Dukes of Buckingham, and is Ancestor to John Howard the present Viscount Stafford. The other, Joh. Sheffield, died in 1568. leaving then behind him a Son of about two years of age named Edmund, who was created Earl of Mulgreve or Mulgrave by K. Ch. 1. in the first year of his Reign.

Sir Will. Cicill Secretary of State.—He was afterwards Lord Burleigh, and Father to Tho. Earl of Exeter, Rob. Earl of Salisbury, and Edw. Vicount Wimbleton.

….Rogers Controller.—What his Christian Name was, I can∣not yet tell.

Sir Franc. Knollis Knight, Captain of the Halbertiers.

Sir Nich. Throcinorton Knight, a wise and stout man, lately leiger Embassadour in France, and about this time chief Butler of England and Chamberla••ne of the Exchequer.—He died suddenly in Ley∣cester House in the Parish of S. Clement without Temple barre, London, on Munday 12 Feb. 1570. Whereupon his body was carried to his house in the Parish of Chree Church near Algate; where resting till the 21 day of the said month, was then buried in the Parish Church there. See more of him in Camdens Annals of Qu. Elizab. under the year 1570.

John Tomworth or Tamworth Esq; of the Privy Council to the Queen.—The same who in 1564 had been sent to Mary Qu. of Scots to interceed with her for the readmission of some of her Lords that had been against her Marriage with Henry Lord Darn∣ley. This Jo. Tomworth had spent much of his youth in travelling beyond the Seas.

These Nobles, and persons of Quality before mention'd, were, I say, actually created Masters of Arts, in a Convocation held Sept. 6. in the public Refectory of Ch. Church, in the presence of

Robert Earl of Leycester Chancellour of the University, Dr. Kennall Commissary, Dr. Laur. Humphrey, both the Proctors, &c. the Queen being then about to leave Oxon.

Sept…. Thom. Randolphe Bach. of the Civ. Law, sometimes Prin∣cipal of Broadgates Hall, had leave, tho absent, to be created Do∣ctor of his Faculty: but whether he was created it appears not.

Oct. 11. By vertue of a Commission from the prime Members of the University, then bearing date and sealed, directed to Dr. Lawr. Humphrey the Queens Professor of Divinity, were these five Bishops following made Doct. of Divinity.

But where those Collections are now, I can∣not yet learn.

In the month of Jaly was a Supplicate made in the ven. house of Congregation for Edm.

In 1565 he was made Canon of Windsore, and on the 10 of April 1570 he was installed Dean of Rochester in the place of Walt. Philipps the first Dean deceased. In the year following, Sept. 18, he was made Dean of Salisbury upon the promotion of Will. Bradbridge to the See of Exeter; but before he had been setled in the said Deanery, he was made Bishop of Rochester, being then, as one* 1.87 saith, Vir pius, doctus atque gravis. Afterwards he was translated to Wor∣cester, where he was a zealous Assertor of the Church Discipline.

Elizab. to the K. of France. While he continued in that Country he shew'd more than ordinary civility to the King of Navarr and the Duke of Alenson, (afterwards of Anjow) when they were committed to custody by the Qu. Mother of France for plotting secretly to remove her from the Government. For so it was, that he comforted them in the Queen of England's name, promising them, that she would omit no opportunity to help and relieve them. Of this civility the Qu. Mother of France having notice, prosecuted Wilkes so much▪ that he was fain to withdraw himself into England, where she also followed him with letters of complaint; insomuch that he was sent back into France and there humbly craved pardona 1.88 of the Qu. Mother. However the King of Navarr not unmindful of the consolation he gave him, did, when he came to be King of France, honor him with the degree of Knighthood, when he saw him in Normandy twenty five years after. In 1577 Wilkes was sent Embassador to Spain, and upon his return thence, was about the beginning of 1578 sent to Don John of Austria. In 1593 he was sent into France to know if the then French King was reconci∣led to the Church of Rome, and in 1598 he was sent into France again, with Sir Robert Cecil Secretary of State to Qu. Eliz. and John Herbert Master of the Requests, but so soon as Wilkes landed, he died there.

him performed; but whether he took the said degree, it appears not. Afterwards he went to Doway, and studied Philosophy and Divinity; thence to Rheimes, where he was made a Priest: At length being sent into the mission of England in Feb. 1579, changed his name to Lawrence Richardson, because he was the Son of Rich. Johnson of Lancashire, but being soon after taken and imprison'd, was executed at Tybourne 30 May 1582.

All the great men of his time did make honorable mention of him in their respective books, and some did dedicate their Writings to him, and his Brother Francis Pitheus, as the Lights of France. Thuanus doth very much* 1.89 commend, and at length concludes thus of, him, that

In the Civil Law of the Romans, he came to that height, that it might be justly said of him, and his famous Master Cujacius, hunc discipulo praeripuisse, ne primus Ju∣risconsultus esset, illum praeceptori, ne solus, &c.

14. Felix Lewys LL. Bach. of Doway.

15. Rich. Fietcher four years standing in the degree of M. of A. at Cambridge.—He was a Kentish man born, as 'tis said, bred in Bennet, commonly called Corp. Christi, Coll. in Cambridge, be∣came Dean of Peterborough in 1583, and was present with Mary Queen of Scots when she suffer'd death at Foderinghey in Northamp∣tonshire, in the month of Febr. 1586. At which time being the person appointed to pray with, and for, her did perswade her to renounce her Religion, contrary to all Christianity and Huma∣nity (as it was by many then present so taken) to her great di∣sturbance. In 1589 he was made Bish. of Bristow, there being then many leases to be past in that Bishoprick, and about that time Bish. Almoner. Whereupon Thomas Nevill D. D. of Cambridge suc∣ceeded him in the Deanery of Peterborough, an. 1590. From Bristow he was translated to Worcester, and soon after to London. At length he took to him a second Wife (a very handsome Widow) called the Lady Baker, Sister, as 'tis said, to George Gifford the Pensioner. At which Marriage the Queen being much displeased, (as she was at the marriage of all the Clergy) he died discontentedly by im∣moderate taking of Tobacco, on the 15† 1.90 of June 1596, and was buried before S. George's Chappel within the Cathedral Church of S. Paul. He had a Brother named Giles Fletcher, a Kentish man born also, as 'tis said, bred in Eaton School, elected

Scholarb 1.91 of Kings Coll. in Cambridge 1565, where he became a learned Man, an excellent Poet, and Doctor of the Laws. Af∣terwards he was sent Commissioner into Scotland, Germany and into the Low Countries, Embassador to Russia, was made Secretary to the City of London and Master of the Requests. At length he wrot and published The History of Russia, &c. Or Of the Russian Commonwealth. Lond. 1591. oct Which book was quickly sup∣pressed, lest it might give offence to a Prince in amity with Eng∣land. Afterwards it was reprinted in tw. an. 1643, &c. This Dr. Gil. Fletcher died in the Parish of St. Catherine in Colemanstreet in London, in the month of Feb. 1610, and was buried, I presume, in the Ch. of St. Cath. there; leaving then behind him a Son of both his names, Bach. of Div. of Trin. Coll. in Camb. equally be∣loved of the Muses and Graces; who died at Alderton in Suffolk, an. 1623. He left also behind him another Son named Phinees Fletcher of Kings Coll. in the same University, where he was ac∣counted an excellent Poet. Afterwards he was beneficed at Hil∣gay in Norfolke, and became Author of several books; among which, one is entit. A Fathers testament written for the benefit of his parti∣cular Relations. Lond. 1670. oct. at which time the Author had been dead several years. The titles of two other books written by him you may see in the Bodleian Catalogue.

Rob. Bennet of three years standing in the Degree of M. of A. of Camb. was also then (July 15.) incorporated—This Person, who was of Trin. Coll. in the said Univ. was afterwards Chaplain to Will. Lord Burleigh L. Treasurer of England, Master of the Hospi∣tal of St. Cross near to Winchester, was installed Dean of Windsore 24. March 1595, sworn Scribe or Registrary of the most noble Or∣der of the Garter, on the Feast of St. George 1596, and at length on the 20. of Feb. 1602. he was consecrated Bishop of Hereford, as I have told you before among the Bishops in Harb. Westphaling, numb. 157. In the Deanery of Windsore succeeded Dr. Giles Tomson a little before Qu. Elizabeths death, and in the Mastership of the Hosp. of St. Cross, (which was designed by the Queen for George Brook Brother to Henry Lord Cobham) K. James at his first entry into England, gave it to Mr. James Hudson, who had been his Agent there during part of the Reign of Qu. Elizabeth. But Hud∣son being a Lay-man and therefore not found capable of it, Sir Tho. Lake, for some reward given to him to quit his interest therein, prevailed with the King to give it to his Brother Arthur Lake: Whereupon George Brook being discontented, it put him upon plot∣ting with his Brother, Raleigh and others; for which afterwards he suffered death.

Thom. Staller or Stallard M. A. of Camb. was also then incor∣porated —He was afterwards D. of D. and Archdeacon of Ro∣chester, as I shall tell you among the Doctors of Div. an. 1591. and 1605.

Afterwards he was Canon of Ch. Church, Provost of Oriel and the chief Physician be∣longing to the Queen. He died in July, or thereabouts, in 1605, and was buried, as I conceive, in the Church of St. Giles without Cripplegate, London, for in that Parish he died. See more of him in Hist. & Antiq. Vniv.

For the said Degree supplicated also one Barthelmeus Clerke of Magd. Coll. but was not then admitted.—This Person, who was a Northamptonshire Man born, I here set down, least some unwary reader hereafter might take him to be the same Barthelem. Clerke, who became Scholar of Kings Coll. in Cambridge, an. 1554, after∣wards Proctor of that University, Dean of the Arches and a wise and eloquent Man.

Cole, and Tho. Brasbridge of Magd. Coll. and Nich. Marston of Ch. Ch. now Residentiary of Exeter, Brother to Will. Marston of the same house LL.

Jones M. A. (who had succeeded in that Dignity Dr. Matthew Hutton after he was made Dean of York, an. 1568.) In 1594 he became Dean of Glocester in the place of Anth. Rudd promoted to the See of St. David, and dying in 1607, Tho. Morton succeeded him in that dignity, being the same most wor∣thy Person, who was afterwards Bishop of Durham. I have seen a Copy of the will of this Dr. Lewys, made 5. Feb. 1606, and proved 16. July 1607, wherein he desires that his body might be buried either in the Cath. Ch. of Glocester, Worcester, Hereford, or in Westminster, in all which Churches he had Dignities.

It was published after the Authors death by one Thom. Martin, who being unacquainted with his Christian name, sets him down in the title by the name of John Madox, tho no such Person appears to have been ever Fellow of Alls. Coll. In 1563, one Rich.

A supplicate was made for one Hugh Blythe Bach. of Div. of Kings Coll. in Cambridge to be incorporated, but whether it was granted, it appears not.

Barber in the Archdeaconry of Leycester. In this last dignity he was succeeded by Rob.

On the 4. July Petrus Regius a French Man M. of A. of 12 years standing in the University of Paris, now an Exile for his Religion, and a Catechistical Lecturer in this University, supplicated that he might be admitted Bach. of Div. and that the exercise to be per∣formed for it, might be deferr'd till Mich••elmas Term following, because he shortly after designed to return to his native Country. But the Regents, upon mature consideration, return'd this answer, that he might take the said Degree when he pleased, conditionally that he perform all exercises requisite by the statute before he take it.

On the same day Giles Gualter M. of A. of 8 years standing in the University of Caen (another Exile, as it seems) did supplicate under the same form; but whether either of them was admitted, it appears not.

Apr…. John Bold of C. C. Coll.—In the year 1578. Sept. 25. he was collated to the Archdeaconry of Northumberland by Dr. Barnes Bishop of Durham, on the resignation of Mr. Franc. Bunney, who some years before had succeeded Mr. Ralph Lever in that Dignity. After Dr. Bold had resign'd it, Ralph Tonstall M. A. was collated thereunto 29. Oct. 1581, but who succeeded him, the register of the Church of Durham, which is deficient, tells us not till Bishop Neyles time, who collated to the said Archdeaconry Gab. Clerke DD 7. Aug. 1619. upon the resignation of Dr. John Craddock. See more among the Masters of Arts, an. 1612.

Jul. 6. Pet. Lozillerius Villerius a French Man, Doctor of the Civil Law and Divinity of an University in his own Country, was then admitted to proceed in Divinity, and three days after did compleat that Degree by standing in the Act then celebrated.— He was an Exile for his Religion, lived in Ch. Ch. for some time, but whether he read a lecture, or taught privately, as other Exiles did, I know not. Sure I am he was a learned Man, and had new∣ly corrected and set forth Beza's New Testament in Greek.

Incorporations.

June 5. Tho. Hakeluyt M. A. of Cambridge.

22. Will. Smyth M. of A. of the same University—I take this to be the same Will. Smyth who was afterwards Master of Clare Hall, Chaplain to Qu. Elizabeth, Vicechanc. of the said University, an. 1603, Chaplain to K. Jam. 1. and at length Provost of Kings Coll. to which he was elected 22. Aug. 1612. He died 26. March 1615, and became a considerable benefactor to the said College.

Jul. 10. Humph. Tindall M. A. of the same University—He was afterwards Master of Queens Coll. there, and became the fourth Dean of Ely in the place of John Bell D. D. who died 31. Oct. 1591 aged 61. The said Tindall was descended from the antient and gen∣tile family of his name living in Norfolk, and dying 12. Oct. 1614 aged 65 was buried in the Cath. Ch. at Ely.

July 11. Peter Baro D. D. of Cambridge—This learned and wor∣thy Divine was born at Estampes in France, left that Country upon account of Religion, came into England for refuge, setled in Cam∣bridge by the endeavours of Dr. Andr. Perne, and being afterwards of Trin. Coll. succeeded Dr. John Still in the Margaret Professorship of that University, and read there several years to the great liking of

many. At length the Calvinistical Party disgusting certain matters, (which they looked upon as hetrodox) vented by him in his read∣ings and prints, viz. in his Comment on Jonah and his book De Fide, one of them named Lawrence Chadderton had a contest with him. Their objections were (1) That in his readings upon Jonah, he taught the Popish Doctrine of the cooperation of faith and works to justification; which, tho in terms a little changed, yet the Do∣ctrine was one and the same in effect. (2) That he laboured to make Men believe that the reformed Churches Doctrine, was not so dif∣fering from Popish Doctrine, but that by distinctions they might be reconciled, and therefore concluded that both professions might be tolerated. And thirdly that in his said readings he taught that the Heathen may be saved without the Faith of the Gospel, and other strange matters, which they looked upon as damnable errors, &c. Besides also, as they observed, that after many years, wherein he had sundry ways hurt the sincerity of the Doctrine, he brought the Popish Schoolmen into credit, and diminished the honour of the learned Writers of that age. Since which time the course of stu∣dies in Divinity, and the manner of preaching hath been much changed in that University by some, who have followed that vain, and left the study of sound Writers (as they stile them) and apply themselves to the reading, as they father add, of popish, barbarous, and fantastical Schoolmen, delighted with their curious questions and quiddities, whereby they draw all points of Christian faith into doubts, being the high-way not only to Popery but to Atheisme, &c. For these, I say, and such like matters, he was, by the zealous travel of some of the Brethren in the said University, removed from his place of Margaret Professor, about the year 1596, not without the consent of Dr. Whitgifta 1.95 Archb. of Canterbury. For so it was, and they could not be beaten out of it, that they thought, that as a certain Spaniard named Ant. Corranus was brought to, and setled in, Oxon. purposely to corrupt the true Doctrine; so Pet. Baro a French Man was for Cambridge, which last, is nevertheless reported in the following age by a high Church of Englandb 1.96 Man that tho he was a Forreigner by birth, yet be better understood the Do∣ctrine of the Church of England, than many of the Natives, his con∣temporaries in the Vniversity of Cambridge, &c. His writings are these. (1) In Jonam Prophetam praelectiones 39. (2) Conciones tres ad clerum Cantabrigiensem habitae, in templo B. Mariae. (3) Theses, publicae in Scholis peroratae & disputatae. Which Theses being only two, were translated into English by John Ludham with these ti∣tles. First Gods purpose and decree taketh not away the liberty of mans corrupt will. The second, Our conjunction with Christ is altogether spiritual. Both printed at Lond. 1590. in oct. (4) Precationes, qui∣bus usus est author in suis praelectionibus inchoandis & finiendis. All which were published at Lond. 1579. fol. by the care and labor of Osmund Lake Bach. of Div. and Fellow of Kings Coll. in Cam∣bridge who viewed and corrected them before they went to the press. This Osm. Lake, by the way I must tell you, had been Proctor of that University, was afterwards Vicar of Ringwood in Hampshire and a publisher of several books, (besides others which he wrot, that are not yet extant) among which are A probe Theo∣logical, or the first part of the Christian Pastors proof of his learned Parishioners faith. Lond, 1612. qu. He died in 1621 leaving then behind him the character of a learned Man. As for the other works of Pet. Baro they are these. (5) De praestantia & dignitate divinae Legis, lib. 2. printed 1586. oct. (6) Tractatus in quo docet expetitio∣nem oblati à mente boni & fiduciam ad fidei justificantis naturam per∣tinere. (7) Summa trium sententiarum de praedestinatione &c. Har∣drov. 1613. oct. printed with the Notes of Joh. Piscator, Disquisi∣tion of Franc. Junius, and Prelection of Will. Whittaker. (8) Special treatise of Gods providence, and of comforts against all kind of crosses and calamities to be fetched from the same; with an Exposition on Psal. 107. (8) Four Sermons. The first on Psal. 133. 1. 2. 3. The sec. on Psal. 15. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. &c. After this Author Peter Baro had been removed from Cambridge, he went to London, lived and died in Crouched Friers, and was buried in the Church of St. Olaves in Hartstreet. At whose inte••ment the Bishop of London ordered the most eminent Divines and Ministers in that City, to be present. The Baro's or Barons as they are by some called, who do now, or did lately live at Boston in Lincolnshire, and at Kings Lynn in Nor∣folk, are descended from him.

Jul. 11. Walt. Travers M. of A. of Cambridge, was then incor∣porated in the same Degree—This Person had received his Aca∣demical education in Trin Coll. in the said University, and after∣wards travelled to Geneva, where he became acquainted with Beza; and at his return took the Degree of Bach. of Div. Soon after he went to Antwerp, where he was ordained Minister accord∣ing to the Presbyterian way, and returning again into England, he became Lecturer in the Temple while Mr. Rich. Hooker was Master; between whom certain differences in Religion hapning, Travers was discharged of his place by the Archbishop: Whereupon by the endeavours of Dr. Adam Loftus Archb. of Dublin, he was made Provost of Trin. Coll. there an. 1594. But he keeping that place not long, he returned into England, and lived divers years, as 'tis said, very obscurely, but where I cannot tell. Sure I am that one Walt. Travers succeeded Joh. Salkeld in the Vicaridge of Wellington in Somersetshire, an. 1635, but whether the same, 'tis doubtful. Among several things that this W. Travers hath published, is Decla∣ration of ecclesiastical discipline out of the word of God, and of the declining of the Church of England from the same. Genev. 1580. oct. It is also extant in latine, but that I have not yet seen. The other

things that he hath written you may mostly, if not all, see in the Oxford or Bodleian Catalogue.

On the 4. of July was a supplicate made that Tho. Norton M. of A. of Cambridge might be incorporated, but whether he was, it appears not. Had this supplication been made in 1560, I should have taken him to be the same Tho. Norton, a famous Poet of his time, whom I have mention'd among these Writers in Tho. Sternhold, an. 1549, and in Tho. Sackvile an. 1608.

June 12. George Peele of Ch. Ch.—He was afterwards an emi∣nent Poet.

25. Tertullian Pine of St. Johns Coll.—Whether he took a higher Degree in this University, it appears not; for travelling beyond the Seas, he was made Doctor of the Laws in the University of Basil; whence returning, he was installed Archdeacon of Sudbury in the Dioc. of Norwych 20. July 1591, in the place of Dr. Jo. Still of Cambridge. After Pine, Cuthb. Norrys D. D. was installed 6. Oct. 1599, and after his death Theophilus Kent, 31. Dec. 1621.

May going before, aged 55) and some years after, (about 1598) he be∣came Archdeacon of the East-riding of Yorkshire, in the place of Tho. Cole; whom I have mention'd before, under the year 1567. In Clievland succeeded, upon his resignation, one Rich. Bird, collated thereunto 21. of March 1588. and in the East-riding, Marmaduke Blaxton, as I shall tell you elsewhere.

Jul. 9. Anthony Rudde Bach. of Div. of Cambr. was also then in∣corporated.— He was of Trin. Coll. in that University, was after∣wards D. of D. and in 1584 he became Dean of Glocester in the place of Lawr. Humphrey, who four years before had been promo∣ted to the Deanery of Winchester. In 1594 June 9. he was con∣secrated Bishop of S. David (being then accounted a most admira∣ble Preacher) and died 7 March 1614, having before published four, or more, Sermons. He had a Son of both his names, who was a Commoner of Magd. Coll. in this University in 1603.

Jul. 19. Nich. Bownde M. A. of the said University.—He was afterwards D. of D. beneficed at Norton in Suffolk, and famed for several things that he published in his life time. Among which are (1) Sabbatum veteris & novi Testamenti; or the true doctrine of the Sabbath, held and practised of the Church of England, both before and under the Law, &c. This book was first published, as one* 1.97 ob∣serves, in 1595, and was the first of that nature which first saw light, and occasion'd the observation of the Lords day more so∣lemnly to be kept, which before was not. Whereupon his Do∣ctrine was opposed by several persons, of whom Tho. Rogers was one, as I have elsewhere told you. (2) The holy exercise of fast∣ing, &c. in certain Homilies or Sermons, &c. Lond. 1604. oct. de∣dicated to his great Lord and Patron Dr. John Jegon B. of Norwych. (3) A storehouse of comfort for the afflicted in spirit set open in 21 Sermons. Lond. 1604. qu.

D. in the Archdeaconry of Carlile, who had been collated thereunto 10 Eliz. Dom. 1567-8. the same Threlkeld I mean who had been Fellow of Kings Coll. in Cambridge, and the same who was so much admired in that University, for his excellent Knowledge and Eloquence, that he was thought to use the help of some good Genius. When he gave up the Chancellourship of Carlile he was Chancellour of the Dio∣cess of Hereford, where he became highly valued for his profession. In the year 1581 I shall make farther mention of Hen. Dethick, who was a man of Learning also, but far beneath Threlkeld.

Feb. 12. Giles Lawrence of Alls. Coll. and Greek Professor of the University.—He was a Glocestershire man born, was admitted Scholar of C. C. Coll. with his individual Friend John Jewell an. 1539, and in 1542 was elected prob. Fellow of that of Allsoules. On the 18 Sept. an. 1564 he became Archdeacon of Wilts, on the depriva∣tion of one John Lawrence (whether his Father or Uncle I know not) being then in great esteem for his learning. A certain* 1.98 Au∣thor of no mean fame, tells us, that this Dr. Lawrence was the light and ornament of this Vniversity, that he was brought up and nourished in the bosom of Pallas, and that into him, as also into Barthelmew Dodington, the ornament of Cambridge, Nature, and unwearied Indu∣stry, had infused and placed, all the Greek Treasures and Riches imagi∣nable. I have been inform'd that he hath written and published se∣veral Books, but such I have not yet, in all my searches, seen; nor do I know any thing else of him, only that in the time of Queen Mary he was Tutor to the Children of Sir Arthur Darcey living near the Tower of London, and that he was in being in 1584.

Feb. 23. Robert Salisbury of Jesus Coll.—He was a younger Son of Sir John Salisbury of Lewenie in Denbighshire Knight, and Uncle to Sir John Salisbury of the same place, who died 1613; which is all I know of him.

Cleyton D. D. collated thereunto 29 August the same year. After Cleyton followed John Hills D. D. Master of S. Catherins Coll. or Hall in Cambridge, who was collated to it 21 Sept. 1612. He died in 1626, (about the month of Sept.) and was buried in the Chancel of the Church at Horsheath in Cambridgeshire, where there was, if not still, a Monument in the Wall, over his grave.

Incorporations.

July 7. Edward Chapman Bach. of Div. of Cambridge.—He was soon after admitted Doctor, as I have before told you.

14. William Whitaker or Whittaker Bach. of Divinity of the said University.—This famous Divine for Learning and Life, was born at Holme in the Parish of Burnd••ey in Lancashire, initiated there in Grammar learning, taken thence by his Uncle Alexander Nowell Dean of Pauls, and by him maintained in his house, and put to the Free School there. At eighteen years of age he was sent to Trin. Coll. in Cambridge, took the Degrees in Arts, and the first thing that made him known for his excellency in the Gr. Tongue, was the turning his Uncles Catechism into that Language. After∣wards being famous for Theology, he was made the Kings Profes∣sor in that Faculty, and stood up in defence of the Protestant Reli∣gion and Church of England against Edmund Campian, Nicholas Saunders, William Rainolds, Robert Bellarmine, Thomas Stapleton, &c. At length having much impoverished his weak Body by continual study, even at that time, when the Question was so rise among the Divines† 1.99 Whether a true and justifying faith may be lost, he was freed from this Body of flesh, and lost his life, having left be∣hind him the desire and love of the present times, and the envy of Posterity, that cannot bring forth his parallel. He gave way to Fate 4 December an. 1595, aged 47, and was buried in the Chappel belonging to S. Johns Coll. in Cambridge, of which Coll. he had se∣veral years before been Master. His Works are printed in Latin in two folio's at Genev. 1610.

July 15. G••vase Babington M. of A. of the same University of Cambridge.—He was a Nottinghamshire man born, was Fellow of Trinity Coll afterwards Chaplain to Henry Earl of Pembroke, Trea∣surer of Landaff, and successively Bishop of Landaff, Exeter, and Worcester. He published several Books of Div. which were all printed in one Volume in fol, Lond. 1615, and go under the name of his Works. He died in the year 1610, at which time he en∣riched the Library belonging to the Church at Worcester, with ma∣ny choice Books.

Brute Babington B. of A. of this University, was incorporated the same day: so also was

William Cotton M. A.—This person who was Son of John Cot∣ton Citizen of Lond••n, third Son of Richard, eight Son of John Cot∣ton, or Coton of Humpstable Ridware in Staffordshire, was partly educated in Guildford School in Surrey, afterwards in Queens Coll. in Cambridge, and took the usual Degrees. Some years after he became Archdeacon of Lewis, Canon residentiary of S. Pauls Cath. Church, and at length Bishop of Exeter. He died at Silverton in Devon. 26 August 1621, and was buried on the south side of the Choire or Presbytery of the Cath. Church at Exeter. One William Cotton Fellow of Magd. Coll. in Oxon, was admitted M. of A. in June 1577, but what relation there was between him and the Bi∣shop, I cannot tell.

This year also, Sept. 1. Edward Stanhope Doct. of the Civ. Law of Trinity Coll. in the said University, did supplicate in a Conven∣tion called simile primum, that he might be incorporated in the said Degree, which, tho granted simpliciter, yet it appears not that he was incorporated. He was afterwards a Knight, Chancellour to the Bishop of London, and Vicar General to the Archb. of Canter∣bury. He paid his last debt to Nature on the sixteenth day of March an. 1608, and was buried near to the great north door within the Cathedral Church of S. Paul in London. He was Brother to John Lord Stanhope of Harrington.

now call'd, to the reading of any book of S. Pauls Epistles, that is, to the degree of Bach. of Divinity.—This the Members of the University did readily grant, not only because he was an honora∣ble person, but also for that his Parents and Relations had suffered much in the Smalcaldic War for their zealous profession of the Gospel, and also that the Count had been trained up in good Arts, as well as in Divinity.

D. of Cambridge deceased, who before had succeeded Dr. Jo. Piers, but the year when, I cannot tell. This Dr. Dorset, who was also Rector of Ewelme in Oxfordshire, died 29 May 1580, and was buried in the Church there; whereupon one Tho. Madesley or Modesley succeeded him in his Deanery.

July 3. John Langworth of New Coll.—This person who was Son of Lancelot Langworth of Kertlebury in Worcestershire, was in∣stalled Prebendary of Worcester in the place of Richard Longworth before mention'd, an. 1579, was afterwards Prebendary of Canter∣bury, and in 1588, Feb. 4. was admitted Archdeacon of Wells, but in whose place I cannot tell, because from the death of John Rugg Archdeacon of Wells, which hapned in 1581, to the year 1587, the Register of that Church is wanting or defective. In the said Arch∣deaconry of Wells succeeded him one Steph. Nelson, but when, un∣less in the year 1610, I cannot tell, and in his Prebendary of Wor∣cester John Hanmer, an. 1614.

John Woolton who became Bishop of Exeter this year, did, in the month of May, supplicate for the degree of D. of D. but whether admitted or diplomated, I find not.

Coll. in the said University.—He was afterwards Master of Arts of this Univer∣sity, Counsellour at Law, Master of the Alienation Office, one of the Masters of the Chancery, a Knight, and at length Principal of, and an especial Benefactor to, Jesus College in Oxon. He died 8 Oct. 1630, aged 68 years, and was buried in the Chappel be∣longing to that Coll.

Godfrey Goldsborough Bach. of Div. of Cambridge, was incorpora∣ted the same day.—This person who had been Fellow of Trin. Coll. in that University, was installed Archdeacon of Worcester, in the place of Dr. Thomas Powell resigning, 15 July 1579, (he being then Prebendary of Caddington in the Cath. Church of S. Paul) and on the 12 August 1581 was installed Prebendary of the Church there, in the place of John Bullyngham promoted to the See of Glocester. At length, upon the death to the said Bullyngham, he became Bishop of Glocester, an. 1598, (at which time he had license to keep his Preb. of Worcester in commendam) and dying 26 May 1604, was buried in a little Chappel on the North side of a fair large Chappel at the East end of the Choire of the Cath. Church at Glocester. Over his Grave was soon after a raised or Altar-Mo∣nument erected, with the proportion of a Bish. in his Pontifie 〈◊〉〈◊〉 lying thereon, with this Inscription,

Aureus, & Fulvo nomen sortitus ab auro, Hâc Goldisburgus nunc requiescit humo. Scilicet orta solo pretiosa metalla parente In matrem redeunt inveterata suam.

He left behind him two Sons, John and Godfrey, and other Chil∣dren, as I conceive, besides a Brother named John.

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.

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.

Jan. 18. Tho. Savile of Merton Coll.—This Person who was younger Brother to Sir Hen. Savile, did afterwards travel into va∣rious Countries beyond the Seas, whereby he improved himself much in several sorts of learning. After his return, he was by his Brothers endeavours made Fellow of Eaton Coll. near Windsore; where being noted for his excellencies, caused Rich. Mountague Fellow of that house toa 1.101 number him among the great Philolo∣gers of this nation, and to be equal with the learned Camden, un∣fortunate Hen. Cuffe, Rich. Thompson, old Andr. Downes, &c. to all whom he was well known especially to the first, as by many learn∣ed Letters written between them, appears. This Tho. Savile died in his Proctorship of the University 12. Jan. 1592, and was bu∣ried in the choire of the Church or Chappel of Merton College, where I findb 1.102 this character of him.—Fuit Sidus lucidissimum, qui apud suos & exteros literarum & virtutis fama ac morum urba∣nitate perce••ebris, &c.

Doct. of Law.

July 13. Gabriel Harvey M. of A. of Cambridge (where he ob∣tained his grace this year to proceed in the Civil Law) was then admitted Doctor of the Civ. Law here.—He performed certain exercise in this University for the said Degree, and stood in the Act to compleat it, 11. Jul. 1586. This Person who made a great noise in his time, was born at Saffron-walden in Essex, and tho his Father was a Rope-maker as Thom. Nash a great scoffer, and his Antagonist tellsa 1.104 us, yet he had rich kindred and was nearly allied to Sir Thom. Smith the great Statesman in Qu. Elizabeths Reign. His first Academical breeding was in Christs Coll. in Cam∣bridge, where, in short time, he made great proficiency to the wonder and amazement of his Tutor. Afterwards he became Fellow of Trinity hall, and so excellent and learned an Orator and Poet, that books of those faculties were dedicated to him. Af∣terwards he was Proctor of that University, and at elder years he applied his studies to Astrologie, wherein he became eminent, and wrot, as 'tis said, Almanacks, much in esteem in the Reign of Qu. Elizabeth. His other works are (1) Rhetor, sive 2. dierum oratio de natura, arte & exercitatione Rhetorica. Lond. 1577. qu. (2) Ciceronianus, vel oratio post reditum, habita Cantabrigiae ad su∣os auditores. Lond. 1577. qu. (3) XAIPE, vel gratulationum Val∣denensium libri quatuor. Lond. 1578. qu. in Lat. vers. (4) Smithus, vel Musarum Lachrymae, pro obitu honoratiss. viri, &c. Thomae Smith Eq. aur. Majestatis{que} regiae Secretarii. Lond. 1578. qu. (5) A new letter of notable contents: with a strange sonnet entituled Gorgon. Lond. 1593. qu. (6) Pierces superarrogation: or, a new praise of the old asse. A preparative to certain larger discourses, entit. Nashes S. fame. Lond. 1593. qu. with Letters and Sonnets before and after the said book, made upon the Author Harvey by several Poets of that time (7) An advertisement for Pap-hatchet, and Martin Mar∣prelate; printed with the former book, with other things, wherein he tramples much upon Rob. Green the Poet, which I have not yet seen. This Dr. Gab. Harvey was esteemed an ingenious Man and an excellent Scholar, but 'twas his, and his Brother Rich. Harvey's ill luck to fall into the hands of that noted and restless buffoon Tom. Nash in his Apologie of Pierce penniless, and Have with you to Saf∣fron-walden. In both which books, they are loaden with all the scurrilities imaginable, as being according to Toms words, false prophets, weather-wizards, Fortune-tellers, Poets, Philosophers, Ora∣tors, Historiographers, Mountebanks, Ballad-makers, &c. The rea∣der is to know that 'twas not this Gabriel Harvey that made a rais∣ed causey of three miles long near to Cambridge, as the learned Cam∣den b 1.105 tells us, but Henr. Harvey LL. D. Master of Trinity hall, Son of Rob. Harvey of Stradbroke in Suffolk; which Henry died in the Winter-time in 1584, leaving behind him a Nephew and Heir called Lewes Harvey of Eye in the said County, Father of Robert Harvey Fellow of the said hall of Trinity, Doctor of the Laws of Cambridge and Doct. of Physick of Padua. In my searches I find one Gabriel Harvey LL. D. of Saffron-walden in Essex to die un∣married in 1630 (6. Car. 1.) which, if the same with him before∣mention'd, who was the Writer (as I think he was) then was he at least 85 years of age when he died, if not 90.

Jul. 8. Christopher Atkinson of Trin. Coll.

Richard Radcliff lately of Merton Coll. now Principal of St. Al∣bans hall was admitted the same day.—He died 18. Jan. 1599, after he had practised his faculty many years in this University, and was buried in the Church of St. Peter in the East, in Oxon.

Bernard mention'd among the Bach. of Divinity, an. 1566. and dying about the Month of Sept. 1588. was buried in the choire belonging to the Cathedral of Ch. Ch. I have seen a Lat. Sermon of his entit. De obedientia erga Principes & Prefectos, in Tit. 2. 3. print∣ed 1587. which is all, I presume, that he hath published.

Incorporations.

Jul. 2. James Summers who was made M. of A. of St. Andrews University in Scotland, an. 1565, was incorporated in the same De∣gree. —Tho. Dempster in his Scotorum scriptorum nomenclatura, at the end of his Apparatus ad Historiam Scoticam, doth make no men∣tion of this Jam. Summers (born at Edenburgh) as a Writer, tho he was a learned Man; and therefore I can say no more of him only this, that he living many years in Oxon near to Magd Coll. died there, and was buried in the Church of St. Peter in the East, 30. Aug. 1610.

Jul. 11. John Dod M. of A. of Cambridge—He was a Cheshire Man born, educated in Jesus Coll. in that University, afterwards a learned and godly Divine, successively Minister of Hanwell in Ox∣fordshire, Fenny-Drayton in Leycestershire, Canons Ashby and Fausley in Northamptonshire, tho for a timec 1.106 silenced in each of them. He is commonly called the Decalogist, as having, with Rob. Cleaver another Puritan, written An exposition on the ten commandments. He hath also published several Sermons, as the Oxford Catalogue informs you, and dying at Fausley in 1645 aged 86 was there bu∣ried.

Philemon Holland M. of A. of the said University, was incor∣porated on the same day—He was now, or at least lately, of Tri∣nity Coll. in that University, was afterwards Doct. of Physick and School-master for many years in the City of Coventry, and esteemed the Translator general of his age. He died 9. Febr. aged 85, an. Dom. 1636. and was buried in the choire of the great Church at Coventry. Among the translations which he made, Camdens Bri∣tannia was one, wherein he hath put many things that were not written by Camden.

Bach. of Musick.

July 9. John Bull who had practised the ••ac. of Musick for 14 years was then admitted Bach. of Musick.—This Person who had 2 most prodigious hand on the Organ and was famous throughout the religious world for his Church Musick, (the words of some of which ared 1.107 extant) had been trained up under an excellent Ma∣ster named Blithman Organist of Qu. Elizabeths Chappel, who died much lamented in 1591. This Blithman perceiving that he had a natural genie to the faculty, spared neither time nor labour to advance it to the utmost. So that in short time he being more than Master of it, which he shew'd by his most admirable compositions, played and sung in many Churches beyond the Seas, as well as at home, he took occasion to go incognito into France and Germany. At length hearing of a famous Musician belonging to a certain Cathedral, (at St. Omer as I have heard) he applied himself as a Novice to him to learn something of his faculty, and to see and admire his works. This Musician, after some discourse had passed between them, conducted Bull to a Vestry, or Musick School joyn∣ing to the Cathedral, and shew'd to him a Lesson or Song of forty parts, and then made a vaunting challenge to any Person in the world to add one more part to them, supposing it to be so compleat and full, that it was impossible for any mortal Man to correct, or add to, it. Bull thereupon desiring the use of Ink and rul'd paper, (such as we call Musical Paper) prayed the Musician to lock him up in the said School for 2 or 3 hours. Which being done, not without great disdain by the Musician, Bull in that time, or less, added forty more parts to the said Lesson or Song. The Musician thereupon being called in, he view'd it, tried it, and retri'd it. At length he burst out into a great extasie, and swore by the great God that he that added those 40 parts, must either be the Devil or Dr. Bull &c. Whereupon Bull making himself known, the Musician fell down and ador'd him. Afterwards continuing there and in those parts for a time, became so much admir'd, that he was courted to accept of any place or preferment suitable to his profession, either within the Dominions of the Emperour, King of France, or Spain. But the tidings of these transactions coming to the English Court, Qu. Elizabeth commanded him home. See more of him under the year 1592.

John Mundy another eminent Musician, now, or after, one of the Organists of her Majesties Chappel, was admitted Bachelaur also the same day.—See more of him in 1624. One Will. Mundy was also a noted Musician and hath composed several divine Servi∣ces and Anthems, but him I find not, to be graduated in this Uni∣versity, or elsewhere.

One Benjam. Hamm a Student of Musick supplicated to be Bac. of that fac. in January; which was granted conditionally that he compose a choral hymn of eight parts before the Passover follow∣ing. About the same time, he supplicated for the Degree of Bach. of Arts, which was denied.

(2) The heavenly progress. Lond. 1617. in tw. (3) The card and compass of life containing many passages fit for these times, &c. Lond. 1613. oct. Whether this Rich.

Jul. 1593 (which Sermon was printed at London 1594. in oct.) or the same Tho. Clerke who wrot The life and death of M. Pet. Kempe (printed about the same time) I know not. See another Tho.

Laur. Keimis of Ball. Coll. was adm. the same day.—This Keimis who was a Wilts. Man born became afterwards companion in travel and counsellour in design to the renowned Knight Sir Walt. Rawleigh; but whether he gave any assistance to the composure of his history, is very doubtful. In 1595 when that Knight undertook to gain a golden mine in Guiana, this Keimis was one of his chief Captains and Conductors in that expedition, but being unfortunate in his undertakings, and therefore very much blamed by Rawleigh, he, out of a deep reluctancy, pistol'da 1.108 himself in his Cabin in Rawleigh's Ship, in the Summer time in 1618, after he had view'd, and travell'd through, the remotest parts of the world.

Incorporations.

Jul. 11. Lawrence Staunton M. of A. of Cambridge.—In 1601 he succeeded Dr. Will. Cole in the Deanery of Lincolne, which dig∣nity he keeping till 1613, was then succeeded by Roger Parker D. D. after he had been 14 years Chantor of the Church there. The said Dr. Parker died 29. Aug. 1629 aged 71. and was buried in the Cath. Ch. at Lincolne; whereupon his Deanery was bestowed on one Anth. Topham.

Simon Robson M. of A. of the said University, was incorporated on the same day—In the year 1598 the said Robson being then D. D. succeeded Dr. Anth.

Thom. Atkinson Bach. of Div. of Cambr. was incorporated also the same day—He was afterwards D. of D. Subdean of St. Pauls Cathedral, and died in Apr. 1616.

Besides him, were 13 Bachelaurs of Div. of Cambr. incorpora∣ted, of whom I know nothing as yet.

There was also a supplicate made in the house of Congregation that Thom. Legg Doctor of the Civ. Law of Cambr. might be incor∣porated, but whether he was really so, I find not—He was a Norwich Man born, was first of Trinity, and afterwards of Jesus, College in Cambridge: in both which houses he had the name and repute of one of the best in England for composing Tragedies, wit∣ness his Destruction of Jerusalem, and Life of King Rich. 3. which last was acted with great applause in that University.

Feb. 13. Francis James of Alls. Coll.—He was yonger Brother to Dr. Will. James Bishop of Durham, was Chancellour of the Dio∣cess of Wells and Bristol, and afterwards of London, one of the Masters of the Chancery, and Judge of the Court of Audience of Can∣terbury. He died in the beginning of 1616, and was buried, I pre∣sume, according to his Will, in the Parish Church of Barrow in So∣mersetshire, in the upper end of that Isle, which was formerly the Church or Oratory for the Nunns, sometimes living at that place, and is now belonging and appertaining to the Lord of the Mannour of Minchin-Barrow.

Will. Bird of Alls. Coll. was admitted, or licensed, the same day. —This person who was Son of Will. Bird of Walden in Essex, was afterwards principal Official and Dean of the Arches, a Knight, and Judge of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, in the place, as I conceive, of Sir John Bennet Knight. He died without issue, and was buried in Ch. Ch. within Newgate in London, 5 Sept. 1624, lea∣ving behind him a Nephew of both his names, whom I shall men∣tion in 1622.

Chanc. Robert Earl of Leycester, who dying 4 Sept. Sir Christop. Hatton Knight of the Garter and Lord Chancellour of England, was by the major part of the Academians elected into his place on the twentieth day of the same month. In the vacancy between Death and Election, there was no Cancellarius natus as formerly, only the Vicechanc. this year mention'd, who before had been nomina∣ted by the Earl of Leycester. It is to be noted, that at the Election of Hatton, Robert Earl of Essex a popular and ambitious person, was his Competitor, (having been incorporated M. of A. in April going before, as I shall anon tell you) thinking, that if he might have obtained the said place of Chancellour, he might be as pow∣erful among the Gown-men, as among the Gentlemen of the Sword. But he being generally looked upon as a great Patron of the puritannical Party, and consequently, if he had obtained it, he might do as much mischief in his Office, as the Earl of Leycester had done before, he was therefore, (especially upon the commen∣dations to the University of Hatton by Dr. Whitgift Archb. of Canterbury) laid aside.

Bach. of Musick.

July 8. Thomas Morley one of the Gentlemen of her Majesties Royal Chappel.—This person, tho he had not so excellent a hand on the Organ as Bull had, yet his Compositions were admirable in their time, as (1) Consonets or little short songs to three Voices,

Lond. 1593. qu. (2) The first book of Madrigalls to four Voices, Lond. 1594, qu. (3) The first book of Ballets to five Voices, Lond. 1595. in a large qu. (4) Madrigalls to five Voices, Lond. 1595, in a large qu. (5) Introduction to musick. Lond. 1597, &c. in a thin fol. This last Book, which shews the Authour to have been admirably well skill'd in the theoretick part of Musick, hath af∣forded some matter to Christop. Simpson when he composed his Compendium of Musick, but more to the Author of An introduction to musick, Lond. 1655, &c. oct. published by John Playford a Sel∣ler of musical Books and Paper, near the Inner Temple Gate, Lond. and a practitioner in Musick, who, as I have been informed, had the assistance of Charles Pidgeon of Greys Inn in the drawing it up. The said Morley also hath composed Divine Services and Anthems, the words of some of which area 1.109 published; and also collected and published Madrigalls, the triumphs of Oriana, to five and six Voices, composed by divers Authors. Lond. 1601, qu. Among which Authors Tho. Morley is one, Michael Est, Joh. mundy, Joh, Hilton, Rich. Carlton, Tho. Hunt, Edw. Johnson, George Marson, &c. all Ba∣chelaurs of Musick, were others; which last was nearly related to Simon Marson a Servant to Sir Thom. Mounson in the time of K. Jam. 1. and a good Musitian, as you may seeb 1.110 elsewhere. The said Thomas Morley had been bred up under the most famous Musitian Mr. Will. Byrde, one of the Organists belonging to Queen Elizab. I mean the same Byrde who was Author and Composer of Graduallia, seu cantionum sacrarum: quarum aliae ad quatuor, aliae vero ad quinque & sex voces editae sunt. Lond. 1610. qu. in 6 Vol. Also of several Divine Services and Anthems in English, the words of which are extant, and of a most admired Composition of forty parts; but this last is not yet extant. I say by this Byrde's endea∣vours the said Morley became not only excellent in Munck, as well in the theoretical as practical part, but also well seen in the Mathe∣maticks, in which Byrde was excellent.

July 3. John Dowland one of the Gent. of her Majesties Royal Chappel, was then also with Tho. Morley adm. Bach. of Musick.— He enjoyed the same place also when King James 1. came to the Crown, being then esteemed a most admirable Lutinist; about which time an Anagram was made on his name (Johannes Doulan∣dus) running thus, annos, ludendi hausi. He was the rarest Musi∣tian that his Age did behold, and therefore admired by foreign Prin∣ces, among whom the King of Denmark was one, who being infi∣nitely taken with his playing, when he was in England to visit his Sister the Queen, an 1606, took him with him at his return to Denmark; where, as 'tis supposed, he died. He hath among other things written Necessary observations belonging to Lute-playing. Lond. 1610, in a thin fol. printed with Variety of Lute lessons, published by his Son Rob. Douland, a most excellent Lutinist also; who, before (while his Father was absent) had been trained up to the Lute by excellent Masters at the care and charge of Sir Tho. Mounson before∣mention'd. The said Rob. Douland published also of his own com∣position A musical banquet. Lond. 1610. in a thin fol. and The pil∣grims solace for three and four parts, &c. which was composed by him, as it seems, and not by his Father.

Here you see is mention made that he was Bach. of Arts; which, if true, (for no such matter occurs in the Register of that time) then must that Will.

He died in London 27 Feb. 1632, and was buried in the Chancel of the Parish Church of Tewing in Hertford∣shire; whereupon one Gabr. More, sometimes Chaplain in the House of George Villiers the first Duke of Buckingham of his name, succeeded him in Westm. but who in the Residentiaryship in S. Pauls I cannot yet tell. He left behind him a Son named John Mount∣fort D. of D. and Rector of Austie in Hertfordshire; who being a most zealous man for the Church of England, suffer'd much in the time of the Rebellion raised by the Long Parl. against K. Ch. 1. was cast out of his Benefice of Austie by the Committee of Religion in 1643, as you may see in that diabolical Pamphlet entit. The first Century of scandalous and malignant Priests, &c. pr. 1643. qu. p. 13. and lost other Spiritualities. The said Dr. Tho. Mountfort had also another Son named James, who succeeded his Father, as it seems, in the Rectory of Tewing before mention'd; who also being a zea∣lous man for the Church of England, was thrown out of Tewing by the said Committee, as you may see in the said Phmphlet, p. 10.

Incorporations.

Apr. 11. Rob. Devereux Earl of Essex and Master of the Horse to Queen Elizabeth, was incorporated M. of A. as he had stood at Cambridge, being then accounted one of the best Poets among the Nobility of England, and a person adorned with singular gifts of Nature.—This Incorporation was the better to capacitate him to be Chancellour of this University, when that honourable Office should become void, as it shortly after did. He had received his Academical Education in Trinity Coll. in Cambridge, under the tuiti∣on of Dr. John Whitgift, afterwards Archb. of Canterbury, and hath written (1) Advice to Reger Earl of Rutland in his travels, MS. the beginning of which is, My Lord, I hold it a principle in the course, &c. This MS. which I have in my Library, was, if I am not mistaken, printed in a Book entit. Profitable instructions, describing what special observations are to be taken by Travellers in all Nations. Lond. 1633. oct. said in the title to be written by Robert Earl of Essex, Sir Philip Sidney, &c. (2) His apology against those which falsly and malitiously tax him to be the only hinderer of the peace and quiet of his Country, written to Sir Anth. Bacon; which piece had such esteem among men, that they thought that nothing could be more honourably ut∣ter'd, nor more to the Writers praise, so far as belongs to a noble Orator, than it. (3) Letters to Qu. Elizabeth and Lord Howard, &c. MS. in bib. Bod. (4) His speech and prayer at the time of his Exe∣cution, printed at the end of Dr. Will. Barlow's Sermon preached at Pauls Cross, 1 Mar. 1600. Lond. 1601. oct. with other things which I have not yet seen. He left behind him (when beheaded in 1600) a Son of both his names, educated in this University, whom I shall mention elsewhere.

Apr. 11. Abraham Hartwell M. of A. of Cambr. was also then in∣corporated.— He was Fellow of Kings Coll. in that University, afterwards Amanuensis to John Archb. of Canterbury, a Traveller, and at length Rector of Tuddyngton in Bedfordshire. He hath writ∣ten (1) Regina literata, seu narratio de regina Elizabetha, carmine, Lond. 1565. oct. (2) Report of the Kingdom of Conge a region in Africa, printed 1597, qu. and translated from french into English. (4) A true discourse upon the matter of Martha Brossier of Romantin, pretended to be possessed by a Devil. Lond. 1599. qu. See another Translation made by him in Walt. Haddon, mention'd in these Fasti, an. 1552.

July…. Robert Green M. A. of Cambridge, was also then incor∣porated.— He was at this time a pastoral Sonnet-maker and Au∣thor of several things which were pleasing to Men and Women of his time. They made much sport, and were valued among Scho∣lars, but since they have been mostly sold on Ballad-mongers stalls. The Titles of some of them are these, (1) Euphues his censure to Philautas. Lond. 1587. qu. (2) A quip for an upstart Courtier: or, a dispute between Velvet breeches and Cloth breeches. Lond. 1592. qu. (3) His mourning Garment given him by repentance at the funerals of Love. One Edition of this book was printed at Lond. 1616. qu. (4) His groats worth of wit bought with a million of repentance, &c. Lond. 1617. qu. second Edit. The first Edit. was printed after his death. and hath at the end of it his Epitaph in six Stanzaes. (5) Thee••••s falling out, true men come by their goods, or the Belman

Lady Fitzwaters Nightingale. Several times printed. (7) His nus∣quam sera est: or, a treatise deciphering those particular vanities that hinder youthful Gentlemen from attaining to their intended perfections. Several times printed. (8) The history of Frier Bacon and Frier Bungay. (9) Greens Ghost haunting Cunny Catchers. One Ed. of which was printed at Lond. 1626. qu. Other trifles he hath extant, which he wrot to maintain his Wife, and that high and loose course of living which Poets generally follow. He assisted also Thom. Ledge in the composure of several Plays, as I have told you in my discourse of that person among the Writers, under the year 1625. He wrot against, or at least reflected upon, Gabriel Harvey in several of his Writings; whereupon Harvey being not able to bear his Abuses, did inhumanely trample upon him when he lied full low in his grave, even as Achilles tortured the dead body of Hector. This R. Green died about 1592, of a Surfeit, taken by eating pickled Herrings, and drinking with them Rhenish Wine. At which fatal Banquer Tom. Nash his Contemporary in Cambridge was present, who in his Apology of Pierce Penniless doth make excellent sport with him and some of his Works. I have seen a witty Comedy called Greens Tu quoque, or the City Gallant, not pen'd by the said Green, but by one John Cook Gent. published by Thomas Heyword, an. 1622. and another entit. Planetomachia; or, The first part of the general op∣position of the seven Planets, &c. Lond. 1585. qu. said in the Title to be written by R. Green, but whether the same R. Green the Poet, I cannot tell.

On the eleventh day of the said month of July supplicated to be incorporated one Joh. Osbourne Doct. of Physick of Leyden; whose Grace being granted simpliciter, I therefore think that he obtained his Option.

Creations.

Anne, a Knight, and Judge of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury. In the beginning of 1617 he was sent Embas∣sadour to Bruxelis to question the Archduke in behalf of his Master the King of Great Britain concerning a late famous Libel wrot and published, as 'twas supposed, by Erycius Puteanus, who neithera 1.111 apprehended the Author, nor suppressed the Book, untill he was sollicited by the Kings Agent there only interdicted it, and suffer∣ed the Author to fly his Dominions. Afterwards, in 1621, the said Sir Joh. Bennet was, for bribery, corruption, and exaction in his place of Judge of the Prerogative, first committed to custodyb 1.112 to the Sheriff of London, then to prison, afterwards fined 20000 l. and at length deprived of his place of Judicature, till such time that he had restored what he had unjustly taken away. He died in the Parish of Christ Church in London. in the beginning of 1627, and was buried, I suppose, in the Church there.

July 11. Thomas Crompton M. A. of Merton Coll.—His Grace had before been denied, because he was suspected to have some∣thing of a Papist in him; but afterwards making a protestation of his Religion according to the Church of England in a solemn Con∣gregation of Regents, he was permitted then (July 11.) to proceed. He was afterwards a Knight, Judge of the Court of Admiralty, and one of the first Burgesses that the Members of this University chose to sit in, after they had been impowr'd to send them to, Parlia∣ment.

Lake was made a privy Counsellor, which place of Secretaryship was obtained for him by Carr Earl of Somerset, purposely, as 'tisd 1.114 said, to use him as a tool for his own designs.

Barthelmews Church in London, leaving then behind him a Son and Heir named Richard Winwood Esq. afterwards of Ditton Park in Bucks; who dying there without issue, at about 80 years of age, 28 June 1688, his Estate, which was considerable, went to Ralph Son of Edward Lord Mountague Earl of Boughton by Anne his Wife, Sister to the said Richard Winwood.

Incorporations.

Jul. 9. Hadrianus à Saravia, D. D. of the University of Leyden. was then incorporated in that degree, and admitted among the Doctors of that Faculty.—He was born at Hedin in Artois, edu∣cated in all kind of literature in his younger years, especially in several Languages, which made him so famous, that he was invi∣ted to Leyden, where he began to profess Divinity, an. 1582, at which time he had studied and well consider'd the controverted points concerning Episcopacy and Sacriledge. Soon after he became Preacher to the French Church there, where he continued about five years, and then went into England, where, after he had exer∣cised himself in some petite or pedagogical Employments for a time, he was made Prebendary of Canterbury, and became well known to the famous Mr. Rich. Hooker Parson of Bishops-Bourne in Kent. In 1601, July 5. he was installed Canon of Westminster in the ele∣venth Stall or Prebendship, on the promotion of the learned Doct. Lanc. Andrews to the Deanery of the said Church; at which time Saravia was in great esteem for his learning. While he continued at Canterbury he had a just occasion given him to declare his judg∣ment concerning Episcopacy and Sacriledge, unto his Brethren the Ministers of the Low Countries, which was excepted against by Theodore Beza and others: against whose Exceptions he rejoyned, and thereby became the happy Author of several Tracts in Latin, especially three, viz. De diversis ministrorum Evangelii gradibus, &c. Lond. 1590, qu. and in the year following were printed at Lond. in English under these Titles, viz. (1) Of the divers degrees of the Ministers of the Gospel. (2) Of the honor which is due into Priests and Prelates of the Church. (3) Of Sacriledge and the punishment thereof. He soon after also put out another concerning Christian Obedience to Princes; the writing of which was occasion'd by a certain Book published by a learned Jesuit called James Gretzer. All his Works were collected together, and printed in one Vol. by the Company of Stationers of London, an. 1611, most of which you may see in the Bodleian or Oxford Catalogue. It is now to be observed, that when in a time of Church Tumults, Beza gave his reasons to the Chancellour of Scotland for the abrogation of Episcopacy in that Nation, partly by Letters, and more fully in a Treatise of a threefold Episcopacy (which he calls divine, humane and satanical) this Doctor Saravia had by the help* 1.115 of Dr. Joh. Whitgift Archb. of Canterbury such an early discovery of their In∣tentions, that he had almost as soon answer'd that Treatise, as it became publick, and therein discovered how Beza's Opinion did contradict that of Calvin, and his Adherents, leaving them to inter∣fere with themselves in point of Episcopacy. At length, after he had taken considerable pains in translating the Bible, appointed by K. James in the beginning of his Raigne, he died at Canterbury 15 Jan. 1612, aged 82. Whereupon his body was buried in the Cathedral Church there, near to that of Catherine Dallez his first Wife (who died 2 Feb. 1605 in the 45 year of her Marriage) and soon after had a Monument put over his Grave by Margaret W••its his second Wife. In his Canonry of Westm. succeeded Gabr. Graunt Son of Edw. Graunt sometimes Master of the School there, but who in his Prebendship of Canterbury, or of Glocester, (where he was al∣so Prebendary) I know not.

Feb. 12. Thom. Muriel M. of A. of Cambridge.—In the year 1621, Dec. 30. he was installed Archdeacon of Norfolk, as I have elsewhere told you; and dying about the beginning of Oct. 1629, was buried, as I presume, at Hildersham (of which he was Mini∣ster) in Cambridgeshire. Thomas Myriell sometimes Preacher of God's Word at Barnet in Middlesex (in the time of K. Jam. 1.) af∣terwards Rector of S. Stevens in Walbrook, London, and a publisher of certain Sermons between the year 1610 and 1625, must not be taken to be the same with Tho. Muriel.

Mar. 22. Fines Moryson M. A. of Cambr.—He was a Lincoln∣shire man born, was Fellow of Peter House in that University, and Brother to Sir Richard Moryson Vicepresident of Mounster. After he had taken his Masters degree he studied the Civil Law, and in 1589, being then 23 years of Age, he obtained license of the Ma∣ster and Fellows of his House to travel. Presently after leaving the University, he went to London to follow such Studies that were fit to enable him in his course of Travels; and afterwards going to Oxon, was incorporated M. of A. as I have told you before. On the 1 May 1591, he took ship at Liegh distant from London 28 miles by land and 36 by water, and after he had rambled about many parts of the World for 8 years, returned, and went into Ireland 1598. and became Secretary to Sir Charles Blount Lord Lieutenant of that Realm. After his death, which hapned about 1614, were published his Travels, entit. An Itinerary containing his ten years Travels through the twelve Dominions of Germany, Bohmerland, Sweit∣zerland, Netherland, Denmark, Poland, England, Scotland, and Ire∣land Divided in three parts. Lond. 1617, in a thick fol. It was first written in Latin, and afterwards translated by him into English.

There were also four more Cantabrigians incorporated, among whom Robertus Hemmingius M. A. was one, Feb. 23.

Whyte, (having before been Prebendary of Ilfra∣comb in the said Church) and dying in Nov. 1618, was succeeded in his Chancellourship by Dr. Franc. Dee, who was afterwards B. of Peterborough.

Ralph Pickover of Ch. Ch. was adm. the same day.—On the 5. of July 1576, he was installed Archd. of Rochester in the place of Joh. Calverley deceased, and in 1580 he succeeded Dr. Rob. Dorset in a Canonry of Ch. Ch. In an. 1582 he became Archdeacon of Salisbury, but whether he was Dean of that Church (as I have told you in Hist. & Antiq. Vniv. Ox. lib. 2. p. 259. b. upon false information) it appears not. In his Archdeaconry of Rochester, which he resigned, was installed Th. Staller D. D. 5 Jul. 1593, and to his Archdeaconry of Sarum (which he kept to the day of his death) was collated Will. Barlow, on the 12 of March (being four days after the death of Pickover) an. 1614. This person Pickover is commended for a learned man, for a good Greecian, Hebritian and a frequent Preacher. See in the said Hist. & Antiq. lib. 2. p. 260. a.

Adam Hyll of Ball. Coll. was adm, the same day, July 2.—He accumulated, as Pickover did.

Incorporations.

Jul. 13. George Downham M. A. of Cambridge—He was Son of Will. Downham Bishop of Chester, was educated in Christs Coll. in Cambridge, of which he became Fellow about 1585, afterwards a great Aristotelian, a follower of Ramus; and at length Bishop of London-Derry in Ireland; where dying in 1634 Apr. 17. was bu∣ried in the Cath. Church there. The Catalogue of all or most of his works you may see in the Bodleian or Oxford Catalogue.

Besides him were 15 Cantabrigians incorporated Masters of Arts on the same day, being the next, after the Act had been concluded, but not one of them, can I yet find, who was afterwards a Writer, Bishop, &c.

On the same day also Will. Halke an English Man of the same University, who had had the Degree of M. of A. confer'd upon him in the University of St. Andrew in Scotland, an. 1590, (Andr. Melvin being then Rector) was also incorporated in this Uni∣versity.

Oct. 22. Will. Paddie of St. Johns Coll. in this University, lately made Doct. of Phys. in the University of Leyden, was incorporated in the same Degree.—He was afterwards Physician to K. Jam. 1. a Knight, eminent for his practice in that faculty, and President, if I mistake not, of the Coll. of Physicians in London. See more among the Incorporations, an. 1600.

Jan 6. or thereabouts, Thom. Sackvile M. A. of Cambridge and Chancellour of this University, was incorporated in his Lodgings at London by certain Offices appointed by the Venerab. Convoca∣tion. —He was originally of this University, as himself confesseth in his Letters sent thereunto, dat. 21. March following, running partly thus.—

I am given by common report to understand that contrary to your own statutes, &c. very few retain the old Aca∣demical habit, which in my time was a reverend distinction of your Degrees, &c.

The place wherein he studied, was, as is sup∣posed, Hart hall, but took no Degree before he left us. See among the Writers, an. 1608.

Farnaby the famous Schoolmaster of Kent, was an eminent Musician, and Author of Cansonets to four voices, with a song of eight parts.

July 14. George Clerke of Magd. Coll.—He was a learned Di∣vine, but hath not published any thing.

Incorporations.

Jul. 7. Edw. Gibbons Bach. of Musick of Cambridge was then in∣corporated in the same Degree—He was now, or about this time, the most admired Organist of the Cathedral Church at Bristow, was Brother to the incomparable Orlands Gibbons whom I shall mention elsewhere, and Brother also to Ellis Gibbons, who hath several com∣positions in The triumphs of Oriana, mention'd before in Tho. Mor∣ley. As for this Edward Gibbons, he made several compositions in his faculty, some of which I have seen in the Musical Library re∣posed in the publick School of that profession in Oxon.

John Bull Doct. of Musick of the said Univ. of Cambridge, and one of the Gentlemen of her Maj. Chappel, was incorporated the same day, Jul. 7.—This is the same Person who was admitted Bach. of Musick of this University, an. 1586, as I have told you under that year, and would have proceeded in the same place, had he not met with clowns and rigid Puritans there that could not endure Church Musick. He was afterwards the first Musick lecturer of Gresham Coll. at London, and one of three (Will. Bird and Orlando Gibbons being the other two) that composed and pub∣lished a book intit. Parthenia; or, The maydenhead of the first Musick that ever was printed for the Virginals. Printed at London in fol. but not said when, either in the title, or at the end. The book contains 21 lessons printed off from copper cuts, and was the prime book for many years that was used by Novices and others that exercised their hands on that Instrument. There is no doubt but that this Dr. Bull hath published other things, besides the mak∣ing of very many compositions to be sung and play'd; which be∣ing thrown aside upon the coming out and publication of others by other hands, have been since in a manner lost, such is the fate of Musick, as well as of Poetry. After the death of Queen Elizab. he became chief Organist to K. James 1. was so much admired for his dexterous hand on the Organ, that many thought that there was more than Man in him. At length being possess'd with crotchets, as many Musicians are, he went beyond the Seas and died, as some say, at Hanborough; or rather, as others who remem∣bred the Man, have said, at Lubeck His picture hangs at this day, at the upper end of the publick Musick School in the Univer∣sity of Oxon.

Jul. 11. Nich. Gibbons M. A. of Cambridge—One Nich. Gibbens or Gibbons hath published Questions and disputations on Genesis. print∣ed 1602. qu. which some call An exposition on Gene••is. Whether the same with him, who was incorporated, I cannot yet tell—Qu••ere.

William Alabaster M. A. of the same University, was incorpora∣ted on the said day.—He was bred in Trin. Coll. in that Uni∣versity, was the rarest Poet and Grecian that any one age or nation hath produced. Afterwards he attended, as Chaplain, on Robert Earl of Essex in Cadiz voyage, where he changed his Religion and wrot Seven Motives for what he had done, answer'd by one John Racster an. 1598 and by Roger Fenton the year following. But upon some discontent taken from the Rom. Party, he return'd to the Church of England, and was made Prebendary of St. Pauls Cath. in London, D. of D. and Rector of Tharfield in Hertfordshire. He hath written (1) Roxana, Tragedia; admirably well acted more than once, in Trin. Coll. hall in Cambr. and was soon after published full

of faults contrary to the Authors mind: Whereupon he took great pains to correct and amend it. Which being done, 'twas printed to the Authors mind at Lond. 1632. oct. (2) Lexicon Pentaglotton, Hebraicum, Chaldaicum, Syriacum, Talmudico Raabinium. Lond. 1637. fol. The titles of other books of his writing, you may see in the Bodleian or Oxford Catalogue. He also began to describe in a Latin Poem, intit.* 1.116 E••isaeis, the chief transactions of Qu. Eliza∣beths Reign, but left unfinish'd at the time of his death, which hapning about the beginning of Apr. 1640. was buried according to the discretion of his dear friend Nich. Bacon of Greys Inn in Holbourn near London, whom he made his sole Executor. Rich. Her. rick the Poet in his Hesperides doth highly celebrate Alabaster for his elaborate works.

Aug. 19. Hen. Wriothsley Earl of Southampton, M. of Arts of Cambridge.—He was afterwards deeply engaged in the treasons of his entire friend Robert Earl of Essex, and therefore by his Peers he was condemned to dye, but by the favour of the Queen he was saved. When K. James 1. came to the Crown he was resto∣red by Parliament, was made Knight of the Garter, and Captain of the Isle of Wyght and of Caresbrook Castle. He died in the Ne∣therlands, an. 1624, and was buried at Tichfield in Hampshire by the bodies of his Ancestors.

Dec. 18. Thomas D'oylie of Magd. Coll. in Oxon. Doctor of Phy∣sick of the University of Basil in Germany.

Creations.

Aug. 19. Will. Somerset of Magd. Coll. in this University eldest Son of Edward Earl of Worcester, was actually created Mast. of Arts.

These Persons following were created Mast. of Arts 27. Sept. while the Queen was in Oxon, being then entertained by the University.

Edward Earl of Worcester.—He was afterwards Master of the Horse to K. Jam. 1. and Knight of the Garter.

Geo. Clifford E. of Cumberl.—He was an excellent Mathematician, a great Navigator, and one that did more prodigious things at Sea, (to the great impoverishment of his estate) than any Subject of this Realm had done before. He died 30. Oct. 1605, and was buried at Skipton in Craven in Yorkshire by his ancestors.

Hen. Herbert E. of Pembroke, Kt. of the most noble order of the Garter and President of the Council in the Marches of Wales.—He died 1601, and was succeeded in the Earldom of Pembroke by his Son and Heir called William, afterwards the most noble Chancellour of this University.

Thom. Lake Esq;—This Gentleman who was born at Southam∣pton, was bred a Scholar, and afterwards was taken into the ser∣vice, in the condition of an Amanuensis, of Sir Franc. Walsingham Secretary of State, by whom being commended to Qu. Elizabeth, he read to her French and Latin. A little before her death, she made him Clerk of her Signet; and after her death he was chosen by this state into the place to attend K. Jam. 1. from Barwick, who afterwards made use of his present service in some French af∣fairs, and confer'd upon him the honour of Knighthood. After Sir Rob. Cecills time, the place of Secretary, was joyned in two Principals; and not long after he was one of them, and so conti∣nued with honorable esteem of all Men; until that malice and re∣venge, two violent passions, over-ruling the weaker sex, concern∣ing hisa 1.117 Wife and Daughter, involvedb 1.118 him into their quarrel, the chief and only cause of his ruine.

Anth. Ashley—He made additions for the use of English Men to The marriners mirrour, &c. written in Dutch by Luke Wagener of Ein. husen; set forth in English by the said Ashley in two parts, adorned with variety of Sea-charts and Mapps—printed at Lon∣don in fol. 1588-89. and dedicated to Robert Earl of Leycester from St. James. One Sir Anth. Ashley Knight was a courtier in the Reign of K. Jam. 1, and tho then a hater of Women, yet he was induced to marry one of the Family and Relations of George Duke of Bucks, which administred mirth to the Courtiers. Whe∣ther this Sir Authony be the same with the former I know not. Qu.

Hen. Noell Esq;—He was younger Brother to Sir Andrew Noell of Leycestershire, was one of the Gentlemen Pensioners to Queen Elizabeth, a Man of excellent parts, and well skill'd in Musick. He died in the latter end of Feb. 1596, and was by the command of Qu. Elizabeth (who had an especial respect for him,) buried in St. Andrews Chappel within the Precincts of the Abbey Church at Westminster.

Oct. (14.) Clem. Edmonds of Alls. Coll.

Jan. 30. Sam. Slade of Mert. Coll.—This Person who was a Dorsetsh. Man born and Fellow of the said Coll. became afterwards a famous Traveller throughout most parts of the World, was em∣ployed by Sir Hen. Savile to procure what fragments he could of St. Chrysostome, in order to have them compared and published: And while he was at Venice, he became acquainted with that no∣ted Person (famous for his speaking and writing pure Greek) cal∣led Gabriel, Archb. of Philadelphia, who finding Slade to be ad∣mirably well skill'd in the said Language, he communicated to him some rare manuscript Fragments of St. Chrysostoms Greek works. Which being by him well approved, were conveyed into England to Sir Henry. In his further travels also (for he was in Greece a considerable while) he met with other fragments; and was so use∣ful in bringing to light a true copie of the works of the said Au∣thor, that the said Sir Henry could not but acknowledge with due commendations, what he had done in that matter. See in the eighth vol. of St. Chrysost. works published by Sir Henry, pag. 215. 920, &c. This Mr. Slade, who was elder Brother to Matthew Slade, whom I have mention'd among the Writers an. 1614, died in the Isle of Zant near Peloponesus, in his return from his travels, before the publication of St. Chrysostomes works, and was there buried.

Lond. 1598. oct. The first part was put out by N. L. He hath also published Gods Arithmetick. Serm. on Eccles. 4. 9.

Which is all I know of him, only that he was Grandfather to Rob. Meres D. D. and Chancellour of the Church of Lincolne.

Jul. 10. Gilbert Bourne Doct. of the Laws of the University of Orleance—He was Nephew to Gilb. Bourne sometimes Bishop of B. and Wells, being Son of his Brother Rich. Bourne of Wyvelscombe in Somersetshire, which is all I know of him; only that his Testi∣monial for his Degree in the said University, dated in a Congre∣gation celebrated there, 8. June 1583 was subscribed by Maximi∣lian de Cobham, Tertullian Pine Doct. of the Civil Law (lately of St. Johns Coll. in Oxon) George Talbot, Giles Wroughton, Nich. Wil∣son, and George Manwaring, English-men; that also he was Vicar∣general to the Bishop of B. and Wells, and dying in Decemb. or thereabouts, an. 1595 was buried in the Cath. Church of St. Andrew in Wells, near the body of his sometimes Wife.

Jan. 28. Joh. Pilkington M. A. of Cambridge, of whom I know no more—One of both his names who was Bach. of Divinity, was collated by his Brother Jam. Pilkington Bishop of Durham, to the Archdeaconry thereof, upon the resignation of Joh. Ebden, 5. Dec. 1563, and dying 16. Sept. 1581. was buried in the Ca∣thedral Church at Durham. Who succeeded him in that Dignity, the registers of that Church, which are imperfect, shew not.

In July this year was a supplicate made in the ven. congregation for one W. L'isle M. of A. of Cambridge to be incorporated in the said Degree, but whether he was really incorporated, it appears not. I take him to be the same with Will. L'isle, who, after he had been educated in Eaton School, was admitted into the society of Kings Coll. in Cambridge, an. 1584. And after he had conti∣nued some years in the Degree of M. of A. left his Fellowship be∣cause he had Lands fallen to him at Wilburgham in Cambridgshire. He became afterwards a rare Antiquary, one of the Esquires ex∣traordinary of the Kings body, and published A Saxon treatise con∣cerning the old and new Testament, written about the time of King Edgar (700 years ago) by Aelfricus Abbas, thought to be the same that was afterwards Archb. of Canterbury, &c. Lond. 1623. qu. pub∣lished from an antient Copy in Sir Rob. Cottons Library, with a large and learned Epistle to the Readers, set before it by the said L'isle. To this book he added these things following (first found out by Joh. Josselin servant to Matthew Archb. of Canterbury, which had been printed in oct. by Joh. Day in the Reign of Qu. Elizab.) (1) A testimony of Antiquity shewing the antient faith in the Church of En∣gland, touching the Sacrament of the body and blood of our Lord, &c. 'Tis the same with A Sermon of the paschal Lamb (on Easter day) and of the sacramental body and blood of Christ, &c. Before which is a large and learned Pref. (of about 16 leaves in oct.) written by the said Josselin, and reprinted by L'isle. (2) The words of Aeilfric Abbot of St. Albons and also of Ma••••sbury, taken out of his Epistle written to Wulfine Bishop of S••yrburne, &c. (3) The Lords Prayer, the ••reed and ten Commandments in the Saxon and English tongue. This W. L'isle died in 1637, and was buried, as I presume, at Wilburgham beforemention'd.

Blague deceased, and in July 1615 he being promoted to the See of St. Da∣vid, Rob. Scot D.

  • Esquire.

A proposal was made in the ven. house of Convocation this year, that the Degree of M. of A. should be bestowed on the honorable Sir Will. Russel Knight, the design'd Lord Deputy of Ireland, but whether it was accordingly confer'd upon him, it appears not, be∣cause it standeth not in the register—He was the fourth Son of Francis Earl of Bedford, and was with his brethren brought up in Magd. Coll. Oxon at the feet of Dr. Lawr. Humphrey. Afterwards he travelled through France, Germany, Italy, Hungary, and other Countries; and upon his return he spent not his time idely in the Court, but painfully in the labours of the Camp, following the wars in Hungary, in France, Ireland and the Low Countries, where he left many notable proofs of his valour and wisdom, being stre∣nuus miles and prudens imperator. In Aug. this year he was made L. Deputy of Ireland; which place he executed with great valour and wisdom for 3 years.

This Person who was a Glocestershire Man born and well skill'd in Mu∣sick, did instruct divers young Men of his Parish in that faculty, till they could either play or sing their parts. In the year 1613 Qu. Anne the royal Consort of K. Jam. 1. made her abode for some weeks within the City of Bathe, purposely for the use of the wa∣ters there. In which time he composed a song of four parts, and instructed his Scholars to sing it very perfectly, as also to play a lesson or two, (which he had composed) on their wind-instruments. On the eleventh of June the same year, the Queen in her return from Bathe did intend to pass over the Downes at Wensdyke within the Parish of Bishops-Cannings: Of which Ferebe having timely no∣tice, he dressed himself in the habit of an old Bard, and caused his Scholars (whom he had instructed) to be cloathed in Shepherds weeds. The Queen having received notice of these People, she with her retinue made a stand at Wensdyke; whereupon these Mu∣sicians drawing up to her, played a most admirable lesson on their wind-instruments. Which being done, they sang their lesson of four parts with double voices, the beginning of which was this.

Shine, O thou sacred Shepherds Star

On silly Shepherd swaynes, &c.

Which being well performed also, the Bard concluded with an Epilogue, to the great liking and content of the Queen and her company. Afterwards he was sworn Chaplain to his Majesty, and was ever after much valued for his ingenuity.

Incorporations.

On the twelfth of July, being the next day after the Act had been celebrated, were about twenty Cantabrigians incorporated in several Faculties, among whom were these following.

Joh. Bridgman Bach. of Arts.—See in the Incorporations, an. 1600.

Joh. Boys M. of A.—I find two of both his names who were at this time Masters of Arts, viz. Joh. Boys fourth Son of Tho. Boys of Eythorne in Kent, by Christiana his Wife, Dau. and Coheire of Joh. Searle; who being educated in Clare Hall, was afterwards Doct. of Div. and Dean of Canterbury in the place of Dr. Charles Fotherby who died 29 Mar. 1619. This J. Boys who died at Eythorne before mention'd (the place of his Nativity) a little after K. Charles 1. came to the Crown, was famous for his Sermons, Expositions, and Postills written by him; the Titles of which you may see in the Bodleian or Oxford Catalogue. The other J. Boys who was a Suf∣folk man born, and Andr. Downe's Scholar, was Fellow of S. Joh. Coll. in the said University, afterwards Prebendary of Ely, and Parson of Boxworth in Cambridgeshire, an excellent Greecian, Di∣vine, and one of the Translators of the Bible, an. 1604. He wrot certain notes upon Chrysostome, put out by Sir Hen. Savile, who stiles him ingeniosissimus & doctissimus Boysius, and his Notes doctis∣simas ejus observationes; and other things, by some taken to be written by the former J. Boys. Which of these two was incorpo∣rated M. of A. this year, I know not. We have had one Joh. Boys, an Esquires Son of Kent, a Student in Vniversity Coll. 1594. Ano∣ther elected Fellow of Alls. Coll. 1604, who was afterwards Bach. of Law; and a third who took the degree of Bach. of Arts as a Member of Qu. Coll. an. 1606, but not one of these can I yet find was a Writer.

Roger Gostwyke M. A. of Kings Coll. in Cambr.—He was after∣wards Bach. of Div. Chaplain to Dr. Martin Heton Bishop of Ely and Rector of Sampford Courtney in Devonshire. Among several things that he hath published I have seen these, (1) The anatomie of Anan••as; or, God's censure against Sacriledge. Cambr. 1616. (2) Brief commentary upon Psal. 83 concerning the same Subject. Printed there the same year. (3) The truth of tithes discovered, or the Churches right maintained and defended, &c. Lond. 1618, &c. One Roger Gostwick Rector of Sampford Courtney before mention'd lived to about the year 1655, whether the same with the former, I can∣not tell.

James Sp••ght Bach. of Div.—He hath one or more sermons in print.

Benjamin Carier Bach. of Div.—He was the son of Anthony Ca∣rier a learned and devout Preacher, who caused this his son to be

strictly educated in the Protestant Religion, and afterwards in Academical literature in the said University of Cambr. where he became Fellow of C. C. Coll. and a noted Scholar and Preacher. About the time that K. James 1. came to the Crown, he proceeded in his Faculty, published one or more Sermons, became Chaplain to him, and one of the first Fellows of Chelsey College, founded by Dr. Mathew Sutcliff. But being then very unsetled in his Reli∣gion, he changed it for that of Rome, left the Nation and went to Liege in Germany; where, after some time of continuance, he wrot A missive to his Maj. of Great Britain K. Jam. containing the motives of his conversion to Cath. Religion. &c. Leige 1614. oct. and at the same time A letter of the miserable ends of such as impugn the Cath. Ch. print. 1615. qu. But before Midsummer day in the said year 1614 (12 Jam. 1.) he concluded▪ his last day, putting thereby a period to the great imaginations that men of Learning had of him and his worth, and to the expectation of other Books to be published. In 1649 were printed two Impressions of the said Missive in oct. said in the Title to be printed at Paris, but in truth at London, with a large Preface, and marginal Notes, to it by N. Strange a Rom. Cath. At the end of the said Preface are the names of some who had lately then been Ministers, or University men, in England and Scotland that had been converted to the Church of Rome. Those of Oxon are these, Hugh Paulin de Cressy of Mert. Coll. Hen. Janson LL. D. of Alls. Coll. afterwards a Baronet, but a poor one God wot, Tho. Read L. L. D. of New Coll. Will. Rowlands sometimes of Ex. Coll. afterwards Minister of S. Margarets in Westminster, Will. Joyner alias Lyde M. A. of Magd. Coll. Pet. Glue of Ball. Coll. &c.

Jun. 7. Thom. Ridley Doctor of the Civil Law of Cambridge— This learned Person who was the Son of Thomas, Son of Lancclot, Son of Nicholas Ridley of Willymonds Wyke in Northumberland Esq; was born in the City of Ely, educated in Grammar learning in Eaton School near to Windsore, in Academical in Kings Coll. in Cambridge, of which he was Fellow. Afterwards he became School∣master of Eaton, one of the Masters of the Chancery, a Knight, Chancellour to the B. of Winchester, and Vicar-general to George Archb. of Canterbury. He was a general Scholar, wrot A view of the Civil and Ecclesiastical Law, and dying 23. of January 1628 was buried on the 27. of the same month in the Parish Church of St. Bennet near to Pauls wharf in London.

Heron D. of D. of the same University, was then incorporated Doct. of that faculty—He was Fellow of Trinity Coll. in Cambridge, and dying about the latter end of the yeare 1615 was buried either in the Chap. belonging to that Coll. or in the Chancel of Market Fankenham in Norfolke, where he had some cure. A Person of eminent note who writes himself Samuel Hieron was born at, or near to, Epping in Essex educated in Eaton School, ele∣cted Scholar of Kings Coll. 1590, where, while he was Bach. of Arts, he became eminent for his Preaching. About that time he had a pastoral charge confer'd upon him by Mr. Hen. Savile Provost of Eaton College, but the Church of Modbury in Devonshire, soon after falling void, he was presented thereunto by the Provost and Fellows of Kings Coll. where being setled he was much admired, and resorted to, for his practical way of preaching. While he continued there he published several Sermons; which, with many others lying by him, he remitted into one volume, printed at Lon∣don with certain Prayers at the end, an. 1614. fol. He died at Modbury in 1617 aged about 45 and was buried in the Church there. After his death, many of his Sermons and Lectures, that had not before seen the light, were collected together by one Rob. Hill, (whom I shall mention among the Incorporations 1604) who causing them to be printed in fol. 1620, are known by the name of the Second vol. of Mr. Sam. Hierons works. These things I thought good to let you know, to the end that what was written by Sam. Hieron might not be attributed to Sam. Heron.

He died in Teddington or Tuddington in Middlesex, in in Summer time 1674.

9. Gedeon da Man or Montmartin Son of a Noble Man, and Master of Arts of Cambridge.

Wolfgangus Mayer M. A. of the said University, was incorpo∣rated on the same day.—He was Grandson by the Mothers side to Martin Bucer.

10. Jerem. Ratcliffe D. D. of Cambridge.

John Downe Bach. of Div. of the said University was incorpo∣rated the same day—He was educated in Emanuel College, the members of which presented him to the Vicaridge of Winsford in Somersetshire, where he continued for a while. Afterwards he became Rector of Instow in Devonshire, where he died and was buried, about 1631. Ten of his Treatises (the first of which is A Treatise concerning the force and efficacy of reading) were pub∣lished after his death by Dr. George Hakewill his neighbour—Oxon. 1633. qu. with a funeral Sermon before them, preached by the said Doctor, containing many things in behalf of the Author and the said Treatises, as also an Epi••••le by Dr. Hall Bishop of Exon, wherein are several Encomiums of the Author.

11. Will. Paddie Doct. of Phys. of Leyden—He stands in the publick register as twice incorporated; see in the year 1591. He was esteem'd one of the prime Physicians of his time, and was highly valued by the chief Men of his faculty, especially by Sir Theodore de Mayerne. He gave way to fate in Decemb. 1634. and was buried in St. Johns Coll. Chappel. Oxon where is a large Epitaph over his grave.

Edw. Ratcliff Doct. of Phys. of Cambr. was incorporated the same day.

• 15.
  • Rob. Williamson
  • Richard Neile
    • D. D. of the same University.

The last of these two Doctors of Div. was one who passed through all Degrees and Orders in the Church of England, and thereby made acquainted with the conveniences and distresses, in∣cident to all conditions. He served the Church as Schoolmaster, Curate, Vicar, Parson, Master of the Savoy, Dean of Westminster in the place of Lanc. Andrews promoted to the See of Chichester, (in which Dignity he was install'd 5. Nov. 1605.) Clerk of the Closet to both Kings (Jam. 1. and Ch. 1.) successively, Bishop of Rochester 1608, (with which he kept his Deanery in Commendam) Lichfield and Cov. two years after, Lincolne 1613, Durham 1617. Winchester 1628, and lastly in 1631 Archbishop of York, in which honor he died 31. Oct. 1640 (being but three days before the Long Parliament began) and was buried in St. Peters Church in Westminste••. He was born of honest Parents in Kingstreet in the City of Westminster (his Father being a Tallow Chandler) and educated in the College School there; whence being elected into St. Johns Coll. in Cambridge, made great proficiency in Academi∣cal learning. Afterwards entring into Orders, he became, after some petite employments, Chaplain to Sir Will. Cecill. L. Burghley and to Rob. his Son afterwards Earl of Salisbury, who put him in∣to the road of prefement. Many good offices he had done to the Church and Church-men in his attendance at the Court, cros∣sing a 1.127 the Scots in most of their suites for Ecclesiastical prefer∣ments, which greedily and ambitiously they hunted after, whereby he drew on himself the general hatred not only of the Scots, but scotizing English. He died as full of years, as he was of honours, an affectionate Subject to his Prince, an indulgent Father to his Clergy, a bountiful Patron to his Chaplains, and a true friend to all who r••l••ed upon him. These things tho generally known, yet inveterate Prynne spares not tob 1.128 call him a Popish and Armi••ian Prelate, a persecutor of all Orthodox and Godly Ministers, a prefer∣rer of popish Arminian Clergy men, with a great deal of such stuff, not here to be mentioned. He is supposed to be Author of a book intit. Spalato's shiftings in Religion, written against Marc. Ant. de Dominis Archb. of Spalato, and of other matters. Qu••re.

Jul. 16. Randolph Ba••low M. of A. of Cambridge—I take him to be the same with Ranulph Barlow Master of Arts of Pembroke hall in that University, afterwards Doct. of Divinity, Archdeacon of Winchester in the place of Mich. Renniger deceased, 1609. and Archb. of Tuam in Ireland. 1629.

Rich. Senhouse M. A. of the same University, was incorporated the same day—He was the Son of Rich. Senhouse of Alnborough hall in Cumberland, was Fellow of St. Johns Coll. in the said Uni∣versity, installed Dean of Glocester in the place of Dr. Laud, pro∣moted to the See of St. David, 13. Dec. 1621, and shortly after became Bishop of Carlile. He died in the beginning of the year 1626. (2. Car. 1) leaving then behind him the character of an excellent Preacher.

Theophilus Field M. A. of the same University, was also incor∣porated with Senhouse—He was Son of John Field mentioned among the Writers, under the year 1587, was educated in Pemb.

hall, consecrated Bishop of Landaff 10. Oct. 1619, and thence was translated to Hereford and soon after died. He hath written A Christian preparation to the Lords Supper, printed 1624. in oct. be∣sides several Sermons and other things.

Rob. Newell. M. A. of the same Univers. was also then incorpora∣ted with Senhouse—This Person who was half Brother to Dr. Rich. Neile beforemention'd, became Archd. of Buckingham in the begin∣ning of the year 1614, Prebendary of the ninth stall in the colle∣giat Church of St. Peter at Westminster, in the place of one Cuthb. Bellot, an. 1620, and was afterwards, or about the same time, Trea∣surer of Chichester, Canon of Lichfield, Subdean of Linc. and Preb. of Durham. He died (at Winchester I think) in 1643 and was succeeded in his Prebendship of Westminster by Gilb. Wimber∣ley D. D. and in his Archdeaconry by Giles Thorne D. D. but who in his other Dignitaries I cannot yet tell.

At the same time was incorporated M. of A. one John Owen, whom I take to be the same with John Owen, who was bred in Jesus Coll. in Cambridge, and afterwards Bishop of St. Asaph— Besides the said four Masters of Arts who were incorporated 16. July, were incorporated one and twenty more.

This year also was incorporated Joh. Hone Doct. of the Civil Law of Cambridge, but the month or day when, appears not, neither for John Cowell Dr. of the same faculty for whom there was a supplicate made, which being granted simpliciter, there's no doubt but that he was incorporated. Of him I desire the reader to know that he was a Devonian born, was elected from Eaton School to be Scholar of Kings Coll. in Cambridge an. 1570. and was made Proctor of the said University an. 1586. Afterwards he became Master of Trinity hall there, the Kings Professor of the Civil Law, Vicechancellour, Doctor, as 'tisa 1.129 said, of the Arches, and Vicar-general to Dr. Bancroft Archb. of Canterbury. His wri∣tings are (1) Institutiones juris Anglicani ad methodum institutionum Justiniani compositae. Cantab. 1605. oct. &c. (2) The Interpreter: or book, containing the signification of words, &c. Cambr. 1607. qu. &c. afterwards printed in fol. But several passages therein, relating to the Kings Prerogative, giving offence, because in some cases, he saith it is limited, the said book was called in, and on the 26. March 1610. there was published anb 1.130 edict against it. This being the reason, as most Scholars think, I cannot be of the same opinion with onec 1.131 (no friend to the memory of King Jam. 1.) who tells us that in the said Interpreter, 'tis said that that King took not the usual Oath all Kings are bound unto, at their coronation, &c. One John Cowell or Covell LL. D. became Preben∣dary of Timbrescombe in the Church of Wells, upon the depriva∣tion of Joh. Faber, an. 1554. temp. Mariae 1. but what relation there was between him and the former I know not.

Laud while he studied in the said Coll. of St. John; by whose endeavours, when Bish. of London, he obtained for him of his gracious Master K. Ch. 1. the secretaryship of State, in the place of Sir Dudley Carleton Viscount Dorchester deceased; to which office he was sworn 15. June 1632, and about that time received the honour of Knighthood. Afterwards he becamed 1.132 ungrateful to his promoter, and much hated by the Puritan for his high acting in his office. Which being by that Party made notorious, several articles were drawn up against him, and presented to that un∣happy Parliament which began at Westminster 3. Nov. 1640. Whereupon flying beyond the Seas, wrot a Letter to the Lord Chamberlain in his own defence, dat. at Calais XI. Jan. 1640, which was soon after printed. When K. Ch. 1. retired to Oxon, after Edghill battel, Sir Francis returned înto England, went to, and endeavoured to speak with, his Majesty, but his Maj▪ refusing to have any communication with him, he went beyond the Seas again, and died at Paris 1/11 Sept. 1646. Among the Sons he

had, Sir Thomas Windebank the eldest, was one, who was of the Privy Chamber to His Majesty, and another called Colonel Franc. Windebanke Governor of Blechingdon house in Oxfordshire; who for surrendring it to Col. Oliver Cromwell upon first summons about the 24.

Incorporations.

Apr. 6. Rob. Dallyngton M. of A. of Cambridge—He was born in Northamptonshire, educated in Pembroke hall, of which he was Greek-Scholar, and after becameb 1.134 a Schoolmaster in Norfolk: where having gained some money, he travelled all over France and Italy, was exact in his observations, and after his return, became first Secretary to the Earl of Rutland, then one of the Privy Cham∣ber to Prince Charles, Master of the Charter-house (into the School at which place he brought the custome of Chapter verses or versi∣fying on passages of Holy Scripture) and at length a Knight. He hath written (1) A survey of the great Dukes state in Tuscany, an. 1596. Lond. 1605. qu. (2) A method for travel, shewed by tak∣ing view of France, as it stood in the year 1598. printed at Lond. in qu. (3) Aphorismes Civil and Military; amplified with autho∣rities, and exemplified with history, out of the first quarterne of Fr. Guicciardine. Lond. 1615. fol. and other things, as 'tis probable, which I have not yet seen. He died in the latter end of the year 1637, and was buried in the Church or Chappel belonging to the Charter house. By his willc 1.135 dated 25. Apr. 1636 and proved 1. March 1637 he gave to the poor People of Geddington in Nor∣thamptonshire (the place of his nativity) 300 l. for the buying of an annual pension of 15 l. per an. for their relief. At which place in his life time, he built a Free-school, and was a benefactor in other respects.

July 16. Walt. Curle M. of A. of Cambridge—This Person who was born at Hatfield in Hertfordshire, was now Fellow of Peter house in the said University, was promoted first in the Church by the Cecillian Family, afterwards he became Chaplain to His Majesty, Doctor of Divinity, Dean of Lichfield in June 1621, upon the death of Dr. Will. Tooker, Bishop of Rochester in 1627. upon the translation of Buckridge to Ely, translated thence to B. and Wells in 1629, upon the death of Dr. Maw, and thence to Winchester upon the removal of his Patron Dr. Neile to York, being about that time made Lord Almoner. Afterwards he suf∣fered much for the Kings, and his own, cause, was among the Royalists when they were besieged in Winchester, whence march∣ing in safety after its surrender for the use of the Parliament, lived retiredly at Subberton in (Hampshire) till the time of his death, which hapned in the Spring or Summer time, an. 1647 leaving then behind him a Widow named Elizabeth and certain Children. All that I have yet seen, which goes under his name is A Sermon preached at Whitehall, 28. Apr. 1622, on Heb. 12. 14.—printed in qu.

Rich. Boyle M. A. of the same University, was incorporated on the same day—He was afterwards Archbishop of Tuam in Ire∣land.

Richard Parker another M. of A. of that University, was also then incorporated—Whether he be the same R. Parker who was bred in, and became Fellow of, Caius College, and Author of Sceletos Cantabrigiensis, MS. I cannot justly say, or the same Richard Parker who was second Son of John Parker, first Son of Matthew Parker Archb. of Canterbury, (which Richard was born at Cambridge 20. May 1577) I cannot also tell. Quaere.

On the same day also were 13 more Masters of that University incorporated, among whom Miles Spencer* 1.136 was one, and An∣drew Perne another, the same, I suppose, who was Proctor of Cam∣bridge 1616. See before in these Fasti, an. 1553.

Aug. 7. Will. Barlow Doct. of Div. of the said University, was also then incorporated in the said Degree—He was born of, and descended from, the antient and gentile family of the Barlows of Barl••w in Lancashire, was about this time Fellow of Trinity hall in the said University, became Prebendary of Westminster in the place of Dr. Edw. Grant deceased, Dean of Chester in 1603, upon the death of Joh. Nuttall, and in 1605 Bishop of Rochester; from whence being translated to Lincolne, sate there to the time of his death, and kept his Prebendship in Commendam with it. He hath written and published several things, the Catalogue of all, or most of which, you may see in the Bodleian or Oxford Catalogue. By his willd 1.137 which I have seen, proved 13. Oct. 1613 (for in that year he died) he desires to be buried in the Cathedral Church of Lincolne, if he dye near it, or in the collegiat Church at Westmin∣ster if he dye there, and to have such a tomb over his grave that may resemble that which Dr. Good (Goodman) Dean thereof set up for himself in the Church of Westminster. He was a considera∣ble benefactor to St. Johns Coll. in Cambridge, as it there appears, being Founder of the London Fellows and Scholars of that house. I have made mention of another Will. Barlow and his works among the Writers, an. 1568. and of a third an. 1625.

Casparus Thomannus one of the Pastors or Teachers of the School at Zurich (of which City his Grandfather by the male line had born the office of Pretor) having been recommended by the Pro∣fessors, Teachers, and Ministers of the Church and School there, to live among, and receive an exhibition from, the Oxonians, an. 1599, did spend several years there, and occurrs one of the first Persons that was entred a Student in the publick Library, when first opened for use. He was a learned Man, and read a Lecture in the Univer∣sity, but his education having been mostly at Geneva, did, with other strangers of the like breeding, so corrupt the Students with their calvinistical Doctrine that it was many years before it could be rooted out.

I find him collated to the Chancellourship of the Church of York, on the death of Mr. Will. Palmer, as also to another Prebendship in that Church and a Rectory in the said Diocess. In 1611 he be∣came Dean of Christ Church, and afterwards Archdeacon of Mid∣dlesex, and dying on the eleventh of June 1620. aged 65 was bu∣ried in one of the North isles joyning to Ch. Ch. choire.

May 2. John Childerley of St. Johns Coll.—While he was a ju∣nior Fellow of that house he became Preacher to the English Mer∣chants trading at Stode, and after his return became successively Chaplain to Richard Archb. of Canterbury, and afterwards to George his successour, Rector of St. Mary de Wolnoth in London, of S. Dun∣stans in the East, and of Sheinfield or Shemfield in Essex. He was in his time a very eminent and frequent Preacher and learned Di∣vine, but blind by age and continual labour several years before his death: Notwithstanding which, he suffered much in the time of the rebellion, and was outed of St. Dunstans by the restless Presby∣terian, and whether he kept Sheinfield to his last I cannot tell. He died very aged in 1645 (being then 66 years since his first coming to St. Johns Coll.) and was buried either in the Chancel of St. Dun∣stan, or in that of Sheinfield, beforemention'd.

July 7. Nich. Higgs of Ball. Coll.—He was about this time Rector of Higham in Somersetshire; where, or near it, he dyed 1631.

Incorporations.

May 23. Laurence Whittaker M. A. of Cambridge—This Per∣son who was a Somersetshire Man born and an ingenious Poet, was afterwards Secretary to Sir Edw. Philipps Master of the Rolls, and a Burgess in several Parliaments, particularly in that which began 3. Nov. 1640. being then a Burgess for Okehampton in Devonshire. He died 15. Ap••. 1654 aged 76, and was buried in the Church of St. Giles in the fields near to London. He was much admired by Tho. Coryat the traveller; in the dishing out of whose Odcombian ban∣quet, he had a considerable hand, an. 1611. being numbred among the Poets of that age.

Jul. 12. Will. Knight M. A. of the same University—I take him to be the same with 〈◊〉〈◊〉. Knight of Ar••ington in Sussex a Di∣vine, who wrot A concordance Axiomatical; containing a survey of Theological propositions with their reasons and uses in holy Scripture. Lond. 1610. fol. and the same perhaps who published, Mundus alter & idem, sive terra australis, &c. written by Joseph Hall, who was afterwards Bishop of Norwych.

Francis Dee M. A. and Fellow of St. Johns Coll. in Cambr. was incorporated the same day—He was the Son of David Dee of Shropshire, (who is said to be Rector of Great St. Bartholomews Church in London) and he the great Grandson of the Great Bede Dee, of an antient Family in those parts. Afterwards he took the Degree of D. of D. being then Minister of Allhallows in Lumbard∣street in London, was Chancellour of the Church of Salisbury, and

in 1630 was made Dean of Chichester. In 1634 Apr. 9. he was elected Bishop of Peterborough, and on the 28. May following he was installed by proxy, being then esteemed a Person of a pious life and conversation, and of very affable behavior. He died (after he had been twice married) on the eighth day of Octob. 1638, and was buried at the upper end of the choire belonging to the Cathedral Church at Peterborough, near to the Episcopal seat. A little before his death, he gave to the Master and Seniors of St. Johns Coll. be∣foremention'd, the impropriat Parsonage of Pagham in Sussex, (held by lease of the Cathedral Church of Canterbury) for the maintain∣ing of two Fellows and two Scholars therein for ever, the Scholars to be elected out of Peterborough School.

John Pocklington M. A. and Fellow of Pembr. hall in Cambr. was also then (Jul. 12.) incorporated—He was afterwards D. of D. Rector of Yeldon alias Yevelden in Bedfordshire, Vicar of Waresley in Huntingdonshire, Prebendary of Peterborough, and in 1639 Ca∣non of Windsore in the place of Tho. Sheafe deceased, being also about that time Chaplain to His Maj. Ch. 1. This is the Person who among other books, published Altare Christianum, &c. Lond. 1636. and Sunday no Sabbath, &c. Lond. 1637. Which last, being no other than a Sermon preached at Ampthill in Bedfordshire at the B. of Lincolns Visitation, 17. Aug. 1635, was much brought up by, and taken into the hands of, young Students, who usually read it at their common fires, and according to their dispositions it was liked or disliked. But both being in an high manner disgusted by the Puritans, they, who had the chief sway in the long Parliament that began 3. Nov. 1640, ordered them both on the tenth of March following to be publickly burnt by the common executioner in both the Universities, and in the City of London. About that time they deprived the Author of all his spiritualities beforemention'd, and would have proceeded father as to other punishment, but he being in a manner heart-broken, prevented their fury by death, which hapned (at Peterborough I think) in the Winter time 1642.

Josephus Barbatus a Native of Memphis in Aegypt was conversant about this time with the Oxonian Muses. He could speak French and Ital. very readily, but most of all the Arabian tongue, which was natural to him, and therefore recommended by the Archb. of Canterbury to the Vicechanc. to read a lecture of it to the Acade∣mians. He hath written one or more things in that language, which were acceptable to the learners of it.

Lond. 1615. qu. and perhaps other things. In 1622 I find him Chancellour of the Dioc. of Car∣lile, and some years after to be collated to the Archdeaconry of that place, in the room of Robert Wrigt, who had been collated thereunto in 1621. he being then only Bach. of Arts. In 1640 Isaac Singleton occurs by the title of Archdeacon of Brecknock, but afterwards was deprived of that and other spiritualities, which is all I know of him, only that he was a Londoner born.

Parry Bishop of Worcester, was originally of S. Maries Hall, afterwards for a time of C. C. Coll. but now of S. Albans Hall before menti∣on'd, and as a Member thereof did compleat his degree of Master in an Act celebrated 8 Jul. 1605. Afterwards he travelled and be∣came Doct. of Phys. of an University beyond the Seas; and whe∣ther after his Return he practised that Faculty in Dorsetshire, I am not certain. Sure it is, that he was several times chosen by the men of Shaftsbury in that County to serve as a Burgess for them in several Parliaments, particularly in that called 1625, wherein he shew'd himself what he was, of a bold Spirit and able Elocuti∣on in assaulting the Kings great Minion George Duke of Bucks, as the main cause of divers infirmities in the State, being very un∣couth Language to a Princes ears; the particulars of which you may* 1.139 see elsewhere. For the Parliament which began at West∣minster 3 Nov. 1640, he was elected again for the same place, but being soon after fully satisfied what desperate courses the Members thereof took, he left them, and retiring to his Majesty at Oxon, sate in the Parliament there, 1643, and so consequently was a sha∣ter of Sufferings then incident to Royalists. I have seen divers of his Speeches in MS. but whether made publick I cannot tell. He died in 1647, or thereabouts, leaving then behind a natural Son of both his names, and the character of a man of very loose prin∣ciples.

July 10. Rob. Hill Bach. of Div. of Christs Coll. in Cambr.—He was about this time Parson of S. Barthelmew near to the Exchange in London, was afterwards D. of D. and always esteemed a learned man and a good and painful Preacher. He hath written (1) Life everlasting: or the true knowledge of one Jehovah. Cambr. 1601. oct. (2) The path way to prayer and piety, &c. Lond. 1613. oct. (3) A Communicant instructed, &c. printed 1617. oct. with an Exposition on the Lords Prayer, and other things which I have not yet seen. See more among the Incorporations an. 1598. This Dr. Hill died in 1623, and was buried near to the Body of his Wife in the Chancel of the Church of S. Barthelmew before mention'd. One Rob. Hill was Parson of Tredington in the Dioc. of Worcester, an. 1604, but him I take to be different from the former.

I find only five Masters of Arts of Cambridge to be incorporated this year, and two Bach. of Div. of whom Rob. Hill the Writer be∣fore mention'd was one.

Daniel Plancius a Belgian born, was this year a Sojourner in the Univ. for the sake of the publ. Library, and did soon after publish several Books which shew'd him a learned man; one of which was answer'd and animadverted upon by Heribert Ross-weidus and Rob. Swertius.

Joh. Drusius also was a Sojourner, not in a private House, but in Gloc. Hall; who being admirably well skill'd in the Hebrew, Chalday, and Syriack Tongue, was recommended to the chief Heads of the University to read those Tongues either privately or publickly. He soon after removed to Ch. Ch. and, as a Member thereof, took a degree in Arts, as I shall tell you in the year fol∣lowing.

After he had left the University he became Secretary to Charles Earl of Nottingham Lord High Ad∣miral of England and to George Duke of Bucks, his Successor in that great Office. By the endeavours of which last, he was made one of the Masters of the Requests, and Master of the Mint, (being about that time a Baronet) which places he keeping till the grand Rebellion broke out in 1642, he adher'd to the Cause of K. Ch. 1. and in 1649, when all things were in a Confusion as to the Royal Party, he retired with his Family to Antwerp in Brabant, where continuing till 1652, he removed to Breda, and dying in 1657, aged 81, was buried in the great Chnrch there, leaving behind him a Son named William, of whom I shall speak elsewhere, and a Daughter named Frances, the Wife of Edw. Hyde of Pirt••n in Wilts, since made Earl of Clarendon. These things I mention be∣cause the said Sir Tho. Aylesbury was a learned man, and as great a Lover and Encourager of Learning and learned men, especially of Mathematicians (he being one himself) as any man in his time.

He hath written in Latin, A Catalogue, or (rather) History of the Deans and Canons of S. George's Chappel within the Casile of Windsore. It com∣menceth at the foundation of that Chappel an. 1348, and reach∣eth to the end of 1628, and afterwards continued to these times by George Evans a Canon of the said Chappel, and others.

May 15. Matthew Lister Doct. of Phys. of the University of Ba∣sil in Germany—He was born at Thornton in Craven in Yorkshire, was bred Fellow of Oriel Coll; afterwards be became a Retainer to Mary the incomparable Countess of Pembroke, (whose estate he managed for her best advantage) Physician to Qu. Anne the royal Consort of K. Jam. 1. Physician in ordinary to K. Char. 1. from whom he received the honor of Knighthood at Oatlands 11. Oct. 1636, and at length became President of the Coll. of Physicians in London and one of the prime Physicians of the Nation. He died at Burwell near Lowth in Lincolnshire, about 1657 aged 92, and was there, I suppose, buried. Nearly related to him, or at least of the same Family▪ were Edw. Lister Doctor of Phys. a Native of Wakefield in Yorkshire, who died at London, (where he had pra∣ctised many years) 27. Mar. 1620, and Jos. Lister his Brother Doct. of Physick of the City of York.

Patrick Young (Patricius Junius) M. of A. of the University of St. Andrew in Scotland, was incorporated the same day, and was afterwards a Sojourner in this University.—He was a Scotch Man born, and the most eminent Grecian of his time.—Ho••o ad litera∣turae omnis, duntaxat Gracae, beneficium natus, as a most learneda 1.141 Critick saith. He was about this time keeper of His Majesties Li∣brary at St. James; with the help of which he published Versio & no∣•••• in Clementis epistolam ad Remanos. Oxon. 1633. qu. and Catena Graecorum Patrum in Librum Job. Lond. 1637. in Gr. and Lat. writ∣ten by N••cetas Heracle••. It must be now known that an Alexan∣drian Copy of the whole Bible in a Greek MS. was sent by Cyril Patriarch of Constantinople to K. Ch. 1. about 1628, containing the Septuagint translation of the Old Testament, and the Greek text of the New, together with St. Clements two Epistles to the Corinthians, joyned at the end. Which two were somewhat imperfect, as being in shatter'd and torn parchments, and the first had been in vain sought after near a thousand years in the West, as a lateb 1.142 Author

saith. This Alexandrian Copy of the Bible was wrot about the time of the first Nicene Council (saith the said late Author, tho ano∣ther c 1.143 tells you about 1200 years ago) in great characters by the hand of Thecla a noble Egyptian Woman; who, as some say, had been a Scholar of the Apostles and afterwards a Martyr. Which, with the help of other antient copies, particularly with a MS. in Vniversity Coll. Library, entit. Octoteuchus, two Greek MSS. tran∣slated into Arabick, in the Bodlcian Library, and an antient MS. formerly in that of Sir Robert Cotton, (but lost in the hands of a French Man, to whom it was lent) the said Pat. Young did promise to publish, with notes added thereto, and accordingly had compa∣red the said copy with the others above named to the 15 Chapt. of Numbers, and no farther, if Dr. Br. Walton saithd 1.144 right. The effect of this undertaking being much expected, and desired by learn∣ed Men, especially beyond the Seas, certain Brethren of the Pres∣byterian perswasion were very zealous with the Assembly of Divines at Westminster, to have the business encouraged. Whereupon, in the latter end of the year 1645, they sent to the house of Mr. Pat. Young to desire him to go forward with the work, and an ordinance was read for printing and publishing of the said Testament of the Septuagint translation. At which time also John Selden and Bul∣strode Whitlock did undertake the printing of it, but what hindred them in going on with the work, I find not. In 1649 P. Young (who had sided with the Presbyterians) left his place of Library keeper to the King, the books there being mostly embezell'd; where∣upon the said Whitlock succeeding, Young continued still a sojourn∣or at Bromfield in (Essex) where, I think, he died, an. 1652, for in Sept. that year his next relation administer'd. Afterwards Dr. Walton beforemention'd printed Youngs notes and annotations, with his own continuation of collations in the sixth vol. of his Polyglot Bible, and Dr. Jo. Fell the first Epistle of St. Clement from Youngs edition, and Latine translation, with some short running notes ad∣ded thereunto.—Oxon. 1669. in tw. In 1638. Young put out Ex∣positio in Cant. Canticorum, in qu. written by Gilb. Fo••iot Bishop of London in the time of Hen. 2. and was one of the three (Gottefri∣dus Vendelinus and Joh. Bapt. Cotelerius being the other two) who interpreted S. Clements two Epistles to the Corinthians—Lond. 1687. oct. After his death, all, or most of his Greek and Latine MSS. collected and written with his own hand, came into the possession of Dr. John Owen Dean of Ch. Ch. in Oxon.

George Thomson a Priest, an. 1595, and George Thomson a Heretick, (as he calls him) an. 1599, which last, I presume is our Author, who was incorporated at Oxon, and the same whom Joh. Dunbar a Scot doth celebrate for his learning in his book* 1.145 of Epigrams.

George Ruggle M. of A. and Fellow of Clare hall in Cambridge— One Ruggle of the said hall was Author of that celebrated Comedy called Ignoramus, acted before K. Jam. 1. at Camb. 8. Mar. 1614. Whether the same with George, I cannot yet affirm.

….Craig a Scot, Doctor of Phys. of the University of Basil— This is all that appears of him in the publick register. So that whe∣ther he be the same with Dr…Craig the Kings Physician, who died in Apr. 1620 I know not; or whether he be Joh. Cragg Dr. of Phys. Author of a MS. intit. Capnuraniae seu Comet. in 〈◊〉〈◊〉 sub••∣mationis refutatio, written in qu. to Tycho Brahe a Dane, I am al∣together ignorant. One Dr. Joh. Cragg was buried in the Church of St. Martins in the Fields near London, about 1653.

Barnab. Gouge, Goch or Gooche Doct. of the Civ. Law of Cambr— He was about this time Master of Magd. Coll. in that University, af∣terwards Chanc. of the Dioc. of Worcester, and died at Exeter. where he had an office or dignity, in the latter end of 1625. One of both his names translated into English The p••pish Kingdom, or Reign of Antichrist. Lond. 1570. qu. written in Latine verse by Tho. Naogeorgius, and Four books of husbandry, Lond. 1586. qu. written in Lat. by Conr. Heresbachius, and something of Palengenius. But this translator, if I mistake not, was Barnab. Gooche of Albin 〈◊〉〈◊〉

or Alvingham in Lincolnshire, Grandfather to Barnab. Gooche, living there in 1634 and after.

John Hammond Doct. of Phys. of Cambridge—He was now Physician to Prince Henry, and Father to Henr. Hammond, after∣wards the learned and celebrated Theologist.

Creations.

Jun. 28. Henry Rowlands Bach. of Div. and Bishop of Bangor was actually created Doctor of that faculty.

• Aug. 13.
  • Hen. Ashworth of Oriel
  • John Cheynell of C. C.
    • Coll.

These two who were eminent and learned Physicians, were then actually created Doctors of Physick, because they were designed by the Delegates, appointed by Convocation, to be Opponents in the disputations to be had before the King at his entertainment by the Muses in the latter end of the said month of Aug.

John Gourden (Gordonius) of Balliol Coll. was created D. of D. the same day, (Aug. 13.) because he was to dispute before the King his kinsman.—After his disputation was ended he had his Degree compleated by the Kings Professor of Divinity, purposely (not that there was a necessity of it) to shew unto His Majesty the form of that Ceremony. This noble Person was born in Scotland of the house of Huntley, was instructed in his youth in the Schools and Colleges, as well in Scotland as in France, in liberal Arts and Sci∣ences, and in the knowledge of the Greek and Hebrew Languages and other Orientals. Afterwards he was Gentleman of three Kings Chambers in France, viz. Charles 9. Hen. 3. and 4, and while he was in the flower of his age, he was there assailed with many cor∣ruptions, as well spiritual as temporal, and in many dangers of his life, which God did miraculously deliver him from. At length K. James the first of England did call him into England, and to the holy Ministry, he being then 58 years of age, and upon the promo∣tion of Dr. John Bridges to the See of Oxon in the latter end of 1603 he made him Dean of Salisbury in Febr. 1604. He hath written (1) Assertiones Theologicae pro vera verae Ecclesiae nota, quae est solius dei adoratio; contra falsae ecclesiae creaturarum adorationem. Rupell. 1603. oct. (2) England and Scotlands happiness in being reduced to unity of Religion under K. James. Lond. 1604. qu. (3) Orthodoxo-Jacobus & Papa apostaticus, &c. Lond. 1611. qu. (4) Anti-Bellar∣mino-tortur, sive Tortus retortus & Juliano papismus, &c. Lond. 1612. qu. (5) Of the ceremonies of the Church of England. Lond. 1612. qu. besides Sermons and other things. He departed this mortal life in (August) 1619, and was, I suppose, buried in the Cathed. Ch. at Salisbury; whereupon Dr. John Williams succeeded him in the Deanery of that place about the 10. of Sept. and installed in the middle of Oct. following. To Sir Rob. Gourden of Sudderland, who married his only Daughter and Heir named Lucy, he left his MSS. of his own composition, written in Latine and English, desiring him that the English may be published in Scotland, and the Latine beyond the Seas, to the end that the great pains that he had taken about them may not be lost.

These Noble Men, Knights and Esquires following were actu∣ally created Masters of Arts, on the 30. of August, the King being then in Oxford.

The illustrious Prince Esme Stuart Duke of Lenox, near of kin to the King James 1. of England—He was Father to Lodowick the first Duke of Richmond of his name.

Henry de Vere Earl of Oxford.—He was Son of Edw. de Vere called by some the Poetical Earl of Oxford, and died at the Siege of Breda in the Netherlands, an. 1625.

Henry Percy the most generous Count of Northumberland, a great encourager of learning and learned Men, especially Mathemati∣cians; who, as others, have in a high manner celebrated his worth.— He died 5. of Nov. 1632, and was buried in the Church at Petworth in Sussex.

Robert D'Evereux Earl of Essex, now a young Nobleman of Merton Coll.—See more in the year 1636.

Will. Herbert Earl of Pembroke, the very picture and Viva effigies of Nobility, a Person truly generous, a singular lover of learning and the professors thereof, and therefore by the Academians elected their Chancellour some years after this.—His Person was rather Majestick than elegant, and his presence, whether quiet or in mo∣tion, was full of stately gravity. His mind was purely heroick, of∣ten stout, but never disloyal, and so vehement an opponent of the Spaniard, that when that match fell under confideration in the lat∣ter end of the Reign of K. Jam. 1. he would sometimes rouze to the trepidation* 1.146 of that King, yet kept in favour still; for His Majesty knew plain dealing (as a jewell in all Men so) was in a Privy Counsellour an ornamental duty; and the same true hearted∣ness commended him to K. Ch. 1.

Philip Herbert his younger Brother, now Earl of Montgomery— He was quite different in nature from the aforesaid William, being a Person esteemed a very frequent swearer, and one so intolerably cholerick, quarrelsome, and offensive while he was Lord Chamber∣lain to K. Ch. 1. that he did not refrain to break many wiser heads than his own. Mr. Thomas May the translator of Lucan, and after∣wards Historian to the Long Parliament, felt the weight of his staff; which, had not his office, and the place (being the Banquetting-house) protected, it might have been a question, whether ever he

would have struck again. See more of him in Will. Herbert among the writers, under the year 1630.

William Cecill Viscount Cranbourne, Son of Robert Earl of Salis∣bury. —He was, after the death of his Father, Earl of Salisbury and Knight of the Garter, and lived to 1668.

John Bridges Bishop of Oxon, sometimes of Pembroke hall in Cambridge, and lately Dean of Salisbury, upon the promotion of Dr. John Piers to the See of Rochester, was then also created— He was now famous for the several books that he had published, the titles of some of which you may see in Bodlies or Oxford Catalogue. He died on the 26. March 1618, and was buried in the Church of Marsh-Balden, or Balden in the Marsh near to, and in the County of, Oxford, as I havea 1.147 elsewhere told you. He was Doctor of Divinity, and therefore, I presume, the Registrary of the Univer∣sity, should have put him among such that were incorporated this year, and not among the Creations of Masters of Arts.

Theophilus Howard Baron of Walden, Son and Heir of Thomas Earl of Suffolk—He was afterwards Earl of Suffolk and Knight of the honourable Order of the Garter. He died 3. June 1640, and was buried in the Church at Walden beforementioned.

Charles Howard Baron of Effingham Son of Charles Earl of Not∣tingham. —He was afterwards Earl of Nottingham.

Thomas West Lord La Warr, commonly called Lord de la Ware.

Grey Brugges or Bridges Lord Chandois—He was commonly called King of Cotswould, because of his numerous attendants when he went to Court. He died at the Spaw in Italy 1621.

Will. Compton Lord Compton—He was afterwards the first Earl of Northampton of his name, and dying 14. Jun. 1630, was buried by his ancestors in the Church at Compton in the hole in Warwick∣shire.

Edward Bruce Master of the Rolls, and Baron of Kinloss in Scot∣land. —He died 14. Jan. 1610 aged 62 years, and was buried in the Chappel of the Rolls in Chancery-lane, London. He was Father to Thomas Earl of Elgin in Scotland and Baron of Whorlton in York∣shire; as I shall tell you elsewhere.

….Erskeine a noble Man of Scotland—Perhaps he was the same with Sir James Erskeine Knight of the Bath, Son to the Earl of Marre, or with Alex. Erskeine, who was after his Fathers death Viscount Fenton in Scotland, and died in the beginning of the year, 1633.

Sir Hen. Nevill Knight—He was afterwards Leiger Embassa∣dor at Paris, being the same, I think, of Billingbere in Berks, who died about the later end of June 1629.

Sir Tho. Chaloner Knight, sometimes a Commoner of Magd. Coll. now Tutor to Prince Henry.

• William Herbert
• John Egerton (afterwards Earl of Bridgwater)
• Valentine Knightley
• John Ramsey a Scot
  • Knights.

Sir Roger Aston Knight.—He was the natural Son of John Aston Gentleman, second Son of Rich. Aston of Aston in Cheshire, had all his breeding in Scotland, which made some to take him to be a Scot born, was originally the Barber to K. James 1. while he was King of the Scots, as a libellousb 1.148 Author tells you, though from record it appears, that he was Groom of the Bedchamber, to him, and belonged to it in the time of that Kings Father and Grand∣father. He was a plain honest Man, and therefore beloved by that King, who often intrusted him as a Messenger to carry letters from him to Qu. Elizabeth. At length being made Master of the Great Wardrobe to K. Jam. 1. while King of England, departed this mor∣tal life 23. May 1612. and was buried 28. of the said month in the Church at Cranford in Middlesex.

Sir Patrick Murray a Scot—The same, I think, who was of Elibanke in Scotland, and afterwards Knight and Baronet of that Kingdom.

Sir Thomas Mounson Knight and Baronet.—He was of the antient Family of those of his name in Lincolnshire, had been Commoner of Magd. Coll. and was about this time Master of the Armory, and Master Faulconer to His Majesty, and in truth such an one, as no Prince in Christendom had the like. Afterwards he was twice brought to his trial, upon deep suspicion of having an hand in the poysoning of Sir Thomas Overbury, but at length, with much ado, came off clear. He was a Person of excellent breeding, was a great lover of ingenuity, especially of Musick (having himself good skill in it) and a Patron to the Professors thereof.

The last of which, who was a Scot, was afterwards made a Ba∣ronet, and is ancestor to those of his name living at Inglebie in Yorkshire.

• Will. Fleetwood
• Will. Bowyer
• Hen. Capell
• Geor. More
  • Knights.

The first of these last four, was knighted in 1603, and therefore not to be taken for Will. Fleetwood Recorder of London, who had

been dead some years before. The last, George More, I have already mentioned at large among the Writers.

John Digby Esq; sometimes a Commoner of Magd. Coll. after∣wards Earl of Bristow—I shall mention him at large among the Writers in the second vol. of this work.

• Levine Monke
• Gabr. Dowse
• Will. Lilsley
• Edm. Dowse
• Anth. Abington

• Geor. Calvert
  • Esquires.

While the said Nobles, Knights and Esquires were created, Ro∣ger Earl of Rutland, Edward Earl of Somerset and Henry Howard E. of Northampton, who had formerly been created and incorporated Masters of Arts, did sit among the venerable Masters in Convoca∣tion and gave their suffrages.

This year in the month of Aug. Henry Prince of Wales, the Peo∣ples darling and the delight of mankind, eldest Son of K. James 1. was matriculated a member of this University, as a member of Magd. Coll. at which time John Wilkinson Bach. of Div. and Fellow of the said Coll. had the honour to be nominated his Tutor: I mean that Wilkinson, who most ungratefully sided with the Rebels, that took up arms against the younger Brother of the said Prince, K. Charles 1. of ever blessed memory.

May 1662, was buried in the Chancel of the Church there.

Incorporations.

Apr. 8. Theodore de Mayerne, or Mayernius Turquettus, or Theodore Turquettus de Mayerne, born of Protestant Parents at Geneva, (who hardly escaped the Parisian Massacre) Doctor of Physick of the University of M••ntpellier, lately of the Council to the K. of France, as to matters of Physick, now Physician to the Queen of England, was incorporated with more than ordinary solemnity Doctor of the said faculty.—He was Baron of Aubon or A••bon in France, (be∣ing Son of Lewis de Mayerne a French Writer) was afterwards chief Physician to K. Jam. 1. by whom he was sent in the beginning of the Year 1618 into France, about matters of concern, but being suspected to come there purposely to disturb affairs, was commanded * 1.149 by the Councillours belonging to the King of that Country, to depart the Kingdom forthwith. In 1624 Jul. 14. he received the honor of knighthood at Theobalds, and was afterwards Physician to K. Ch. 1. and his royal Consort Henrietta Maria. He hath writ∣ten in French (1) Medicinal counsels and advices. (2) A Treatise of the Gout. Both put into Latine and published by Theoph. Bonet Doct. of Physick. See more in Dr. Thom. Sh••rley in my discourse of Anth. Sherley among the Writers, under the year 1630. and in Dr. Tho. Moufet, an. 1590. (3) Excellent and well approved receipts and experiments in Cookery, with the best way of preserving, &c. printed 1658. in tw. (4) Prax••os in morbis internis praecipue gravioribus & chronicis Syntagma, &c. Lond. 1690. oct. with his picture before it, aged 82, published by his Godson Theod. de Vaux. From the experiences also of the said Sir Theod. Mayerne, and from those of Dr. Chamberlaine and others, was written a book entit. The compleat Midwife's practice, &c. printed several times in oct. Before he came into England he wrot Apologia, &c. Rupel. 1603. oct. and perhaps other things. He paid his last debt to nature in the begin∣ning of the year (about 26. March) 1655, and was buried 30. of the same month in the Chancel of the Church of St. Martin in the Fields near to London, by the bodies of his mother, first Wife, and five of his Children; at which time, Thom. Hodges a Presbyterian Divine and Minister of Kensington in Middlesex. preached his fune∣ral Sermon; in the conclusion of which, he spoke much in prais•• of Sir Theodore, who left behind him a Widow named Isabella, and a rich Daughter called Adriana de Mayerne Baroness of Aubon, af∣terwards married to a French Marquess of Mountpellion. Over his grave was soon after a fair Monument put, with a flourishing, and high flown Epitaph thereon, which for brevity sake I shall now pass by, and only tell you, that Quercitan and several famous Men of France and Germany did make honorable mention of him near 60 years before his death.

Jul. 10. Sam. Walsall Bach. of Div. of Cambridge—He was af∣terwards Doct. of that faculty and Master of C. C. C. commonly cal∣led Bennet Coll. in that University on the death of Tho. Jegon. He hath published The life and death of Jesus Christ, Serm. before the King at Royston in Esay 53. 4. Lond. 1615. in oct. and other things as 'tis probable, but such I have not yet seen. He died in the Sum∣mer time, an. 1626, and was buried in the Chap. of that Coll.

12. Thom. Morton D. D. of the same University—He was of St. Johns Coll. and through various promotions became at length the most learned and religious Bishop of Durham. His life is at large written by John Barwick D. D. printed at London 1660. qu. to which I refer the reader.

14. Tho. Sheafe D. D. of Cambridge—He was Son of Tho Sheafe of Cranbroke in Kent, was bred Fellow of Kings Coll. in that Uni∣versity, where he had the repute of a good Scholar, was installed Canon of Windsore 29 March 1614, being about that time Rector of Welford in Berksh••re, and beneficed at another place in that County. When he was about 80 years of age, he wrot Vindiciae senectutis, or, a plea for old age, &c. Lond. 1639. oct. Which being published, the Author soon after died, viz. 12. Dec. 1639. Whereupon his body was buried in St. Georges Chap. at Windsore. He left behind him a Son named Grindall Sheafe, sometimes Fellow of Kings Coll. beforementioned, afterwards D. of D. Vicar of Col••∣shall and Horstead in Norfolk, Archdeacon, Canon and Prebenda∣ry of Wells, and had other preferments in the Church. From which, raking and scraping a great deal of wealth together, (for he trou∣bled himself not with learning or the encouragement thereof) it had redounded much to his honour and name to have left it to the Church, which he did not, but to Lay-people and Servants, who cared not for him, only for pelf-sake. He died 28. Apr. 1680, and was buried in the Cathedral Church at Wells: Whereupon his Archdeaconry was bestowed by the Bishop on Charles Thirlby Vicar of St. Cuthberts Church in Wells, his Canonry on Henry Dut∣ton Bachelaur of Divinity, sometimes of Corp Chr. Coll. in Oxon. and his Prebendary, commonly called the Golden Prebendary on Edward Waple Bachelaur of Divinity of St. Johns Coll. in the said University.

Thomas Erpenius born at Gorcome in Holland studied in this Uni∣versity in the condition of a Sojournor about this time, but how long his stay was here, I cannot tell. He was admirably well skill'd in the Oriental tongues, the Hebrew, Chaldee, Arabick, Syriack, Aethiopick, Persian and Turkish. He is celebrated throughout the whole Christian World, as the restorer of the Arabick tongue, and died at Leyden in the flower of his Age, an. 1624.

Bird, and af∣terwards for his merits was made Gentleman of his Majesties Chappel Royal, and at length Organist, as also Organist of the Cath. Church at Worcester.

(on which day he died) an. 1681, as also several Brethren, among whom were (1) Giles Tomkins a most excellent Organist, and Organist of the Cath. Ch. at Salisbury, who died about 1662. (2) Joh.

Pauls Cathedral, and afterwards Gentleman of the Chappel Royal, being then in high esteem for his admirable knowledge in the theoretical and practical part of his Faculty.

After he had been admitted Doctor, he retired to London, became one of the Coll. of Physitians, and eminent for his practice. One Will. Turner Doct. of Phys. wrot a Pamphlet entit. Ad nobilem Britan∣num, or an abstract of Englands Royal Peers. When written I can∣not tell; sure I am, 'twas printed at London in 1641. qu. Whe∣ther this Will. Turner be the same with the former of Ball. Coll. I cannot justly say, nor whether he was one of the Sons of Dr. Pet. Turner mention'd among the Incorporations, an. 1599. yet that he was descended from William, Father of the said Dr. Peter Turner, 'tis not to be doubted.

Jun. 14. Christop. Musgrave Bach. of Arts of Cambr.—One of both his names was about this time a Carthusian at Leige in Ger∣many, and afterwards wrot Motives and reasons for his secession and dissevering from the Church of Rome. Lond. 1621. qu. But this last I cannot affirm to be the same with him who was Bach. of Arts, because he saith, that before he seceeded from the Church of Rome he had been a Carthusian Monk for the space of twenty years.

Will. Cavendish M. of A. of Cambr. Son and Heir of Will. Lord Cavendish, was incorporated the same day, in the house of Convo∣cation. —He was afterwards the second Earl of Devonshire of his name.

12. Walt. Curle M. A. of Cambr. was incorporated again.—See among the Incorporations an. 1601, and in 1636.

Eliazer Hodson M. A. of the same University, was incorporated the same day.—See among the Incorporations 1615.

Joh. Williams M. A. of Cambr. was also then incorporated.— This noted person, who was the Son of Edmund Williams of Con∣way, commonly called Aberconway, in Caernarvanshire (by his Wife Mary Daughter of Owen Wynn of Eglarsnache) the sixth Son of William Williams of Cogh-Williams, was educated in S. Joh. Coll. in the said University, of which he was Fellow. Afterwards he became Chaplain to Thomas Lord Egerton Lord Chanc. of England, and in 1611-12, one of the Proctors of the University of Cam∣bridge, in which Office he gave so noble and generous Entertain∣ment as well in scholastical Exercises as in edibles and potables, to the Spanish Embassadors, conducted thither by his Patron the Lord Chancellour, that when they took their leaves of him, the Chancellour, with the approbation of the Embassador, told him that he had behaved himself so well in his Entertainment, that he was fit to se••ve a King and that he would be glad to see him as welcome at the Court, as they were in the Vniversity. About that time he had several Benefices confer'd upon him, of which the Rectory of Waldgrave in Northamptonshire was one, Dinam and Grafton two more, a Residentiaryship in the Church of Lincoln, one or more Prebendships therein, and the Office of Chauntor; besides a Prebendship in the Church of Peterborough, and a Donative in Wales. Afterwards he was made sacerdotal Rector of the Savoy, Chaplain in ordinary to his Majesty, and on Sept. 10, an. 1619. Dean of Salisbury in the place of Dr. Joh. Gourdon deceased: Whereupon giving up the Savoy, upon his Majesties desire, it was by him confer'd on* 1.151 M. Ant. de Dominis Archbishop of Spalato; and at the same time 'twas ordered that an yearly pension should be by him (Williams) paid to the famous Pet. du Moulin a French Protestant, who a little before had fled into England upon account of Religion. About that time, he, by the favour of George Duke of Buckingham, was made a privy Counsellor to his Majesty, and

upon the promotion of Doct. Rob. Tounson to the See of Salisbury, had the Deanery of Westminster confer'd upon him, in which he was install'd 10 July 1620: Afterwards the Deanery of Salisbury was confer'd upon Dr. Joh. Bowles of Cambridge, as I shall elsewhere tell you. In the month of July 1621, he was nominated Bishop of Lincoln on the Translation of Dr. George Mountaigne to the See of London, and about the same time was made L. Keeper of the great Seal by Buckingham's Endeavours. On the 9 Oct. following he proceeded to Westminster Hall, as L. Keeper, but withouta 1.152 pomp and on the 11 of Nov. was consecrated Bishop of Lincoln in the collegiate Church of S. Peter at Westminster, by the Bishops of London, Worcester, Ely, Oxford, and Landaff; and about that time his Majesty gave him leave to keep Westminster in commendam. It was then observed by many, that as Sir Nich. Bacon had before received the Great Seal from a Clergyman, (Nich. Heath Archb. of York) so a Bishop again received them from his Son Sir Fran∣cis, at which the Lawyers did fret, to have such a Flower pull'd out of their garden. But as for the further addition to the story, that Williams was brought in by Buckingham to serve such turns as none of the Laity could be found bad enough to undertake, as a libellousb 1.153 Author reports, we must leave it to knowing men to be Judges of it. After K. Ch. 1. came to the Crown, he was con∣tinued a privy Counsellour for a time, but Buckingham being then in great favour with that Prince, caused the Seal to be taken from him in Oct. 1625, as having neglected, and been very un∣grateful to, him; and in the beginning of Feb. following, when that King was crown'd, he was set aside from administring Ser∣vice at that Ceremony, as Dean of Westminster, and Dr. Laud Bishop of S. Davids, and Preb. of Westm. (who before had received several schoolings and affronts from Williams while L. Keeper) of∣ficiated in his place. Further also, lest he should seek revenge against Buckingham for what he had done unto him, he, with the Earls of Some••set, Middlesex, and Bristow, (all of an inclina∣tion, tho not all of a plume) were interdicted the Parliament House. Hereupon Williams grew highly discontented, sided with the Puritan, and finding the King to decline in the affection of his People, he fomentedc 1.154 popular discourses tending to his Majesties dishonour, so long, until at length the incontinence of his Tongue betrayed him into Speeches, which trespass'd upon Loyalty: for which words, they having taken vent, he was que∣stion'd by a Bill in the Star-Chamber, 4 Car. 1. dom. 1628. But the information being somewhat lame and taken up with second-hand Reports, the Accusation lay dormant till about 1632, when it was revived again. And the purgation of B. Williams depending principally upon the testimony of one John Pregian Registrary of Lincoln, it hapned that the Febr. after, one Elizab. Hodson was de∣livered of a base Child, and laid it to this Pregian. The Bishop finding his great Witness charged with such Infamy, conceived it would invalidate all his Testimony, and that once rendred inva∣lid, the Bishop could easily prognosticate his own ruin. Therefore he bestirs himself amain, and tho by order of the Justices at the publick Session at Lincoln, Pregian was charged as the reputed Father, the Bishop by his Agents, Pawel and Owen, procured that Order suppressed, and by subornation and menacing of, and tam∣pering with Witnesses, did at length in May 10 Car. 1. procure the Child to be fathered upon one Bohun, and Pregian to be ac∣quitted. After this he being accriminated in the Star-Chamber for corrupting of Witnesses, and being convicted by full proof on the 11 of July 1637 he received this censure, that he was to pay ten thousand pounds fine to the King, to be imprison'd in the Tower of London during his Majesties pleasure, and to be suspended ab officiis & beneficiis. In 1640, Nov. 16. he was released from the Tower, and became the Idol for a time of both Houses, (having since his fall closed with the Puritan) and who then should be in daily conference with him but Edward Bagshaw a Parliament man for Southwark, and afterwards Will. Prynne, two zealous and bi∣gotted Puritans; whose Counsels were chiefly to pull down Laud Archbishop of Canterbury, Wentworth Earl of Strafford, Heylyn of Westminster, and other Royalists. On the 12 Jan. following, he preached before the King, and pleased the Puritan very much, as being zealous for the Sabbath, and against the Book for Sports; yet towards the conclusion said that the discipline of Geneva, and Cornaries Diet, were fit for none but Beggars and Tradesmen. After∣wards, it was observed by many, that he declined dayly in the peoples favour, who took him then not to be the same man as they did before. In 1641 he was by his Maj. favour, purposely to please the Puritan then dominant, translated from Lincoln to York, and soon after was in the head of the Bishops when they made their Protestation against the House of Lords in behalf of themselves; for which being imprison'd in the Tower again, continued there eighteen weeks. At length being with much ado released, he re∣tired to the King at Oxon, where he provided himself with a Com∣mission, and Instructions what to do when he went farther. After∣wards he went into his own Country, repaired his Castle at Aber∣conway, fortified it, and spared not any cost or labour to make it teneable for his Majesties Service. But then his Majesty and privy Council suspecting that he would not be faithful to him, they put a Commander therein, and in a manner thrust the Archb. out. Whereupon taking these matters in high disdain, he retired to his house at Pentryn or Penryn, not far from Aberconway, which he fortified; and having gained the favour of the Parliament, put a Garrison therein, and declared for them. Afterwards obtaining some Forces from one Mitton a Parliamentarian Colonel in those

Parts, went forthwith and set upon Aberconway Castle, took it and kept it to his dying day in his own possession. This was in the latter end of 1645, at which time the Kings Cause did daily de∣cline, as the Archbishop did in the minds of the Royalists, who, for these his Actions, spared not to stile him a perfidious Prelate, the shame of the Clergy, and the Apostate Archbishop of York, whereas while he was in his greatness, he was characterized to be a person of a generous mind, a lover and encourager of learning and learn∣ed men (he himself being very learned) hospitable, and a great Be∣nefactor to the publick, yet always high and proud, and some∣times insolent, and to have pharisaical Leaven in him. His works are (1) A sermon of apparel before the King and Pr. at Theobalds, 22 Feb. 1619, on Math. 11. 8. Lond. 1620. qu. (2) Serm. before the Lords, Lond 1623. qu. (3) Serm. at the funeral of K. James, on 1 Kings 11. 41, 42, 43. Lond. 1625. qu. (4) Perseverantia sancto∣rum, &c. on Job 42. 12.—pr. 1628. qu. (5) Letter to the Vicar of Grantham, &c. pr. 1636. qu. answered by Dr. Pet. Heylyn in his Coal from the Altar, &c. (6) Holy table, name, and thing, more anti∣ently used under the New Testam. than that of an Altar. pr. 1637, which is a reply to the Coal from the Altar, &c. Whereupon Heylyn came out with a rejoynder, called Antidotum Lincolniense, &c. as I shall tell you more at large when I come to him in the 2 Vol. of this Work. (7) Annotationes in vet. Testam. & in Ephesios. Cantab. 1653, oct. published under the name of Johan. Eboracensis, by which, I presume, is meant John Williams. He hath also published one or more Sermons which I have not seen, and hath also extant Par∣liamentary Speeches and Letters of State. In 1671 was printed at London in octavo, A manual: or, three small and plain Treatises, viz. 1. of Prayer, or active, 2. of Principles, or passive, 3. of Resolution, or opposite, Divinity. Translated and collected out of antient Writers for the private use of a most noble Lady, to preserve her from the danger of Popery. In the Title page 'tis said to have been written by John Archbishop of York, yet certain Authors who lived and wrot after his death, are therein quoted; which are unadvisedly done by another hand. At length this Archb. dying in the house of the Lady Mostyn at Glodedd near Aberconway, on the 25 of Mar. 1649 was buried, I presume, at Aberconway. There is extant a Latin Apology for this Dr. Williams Archb. of York, written in good Latin by Joh Harmer M. A. sometimes of Magd. Coll. in Oxon, to Lambert Osbaldeston a great Creature of the said Archb. in which are many things, that are true, inserted. But the Reader is to know, that the said Harmer, who sometimes taught in the College School at Westminster, had often participated of the generosity of Archb. Williams; and when afterwards he became Greek Professor of the Univ. of Oxford, he was esteemed a Parasite, and one that would do any thing below him to gain a little money or a meals-meat.

Jul. 12. Math. Wren M. of A. of Pembroke Hall in Cambridge, was then incorporated in the same degree.—I have spoken large∣ly of him elsewhere.

Will. Boswell M. A. of Jesus Coll. in the said University, was incorporated the same day.—He was afterwards Proctor of that University, Secretary to Sir Dudl. Carleton while ordinary Embas∣sador to the States of the Vnited Provinces, aud afterwards Re∣sident or Leiger Embassador there himself; in which capacity he was knighted by the Lord Hor. Vere of Tilbury, and other Commis∣sioners, named in his Majesty's Letters Patents, in the Army of the said States at Bockstal near Balduck in Brabant, 25 July 1633. He was a learned man, a great encourager of Learning, zealous for the Church of England, faithful in the execution of his Em∣bassy, and highly valued by eminent persons. He died much la∣mented in 1647.

Joh. Squire M. A. of Jesus Coll. in the same University, was also then incorporated—He was afterwards Vicar of S. Leonards Shoreditch in Middlesex, a zealous and orthodox Preacher, and therefore respected by Dr. Laud Archb. of Canterbury. But when the Puritan or Presbyterian brake into an open Rebellion, he was one of those many godly Ministers that suffered by Imprisonment, Sequestration, Plundering, and I know not what. He hath writ∣ten Lectures, being an Exposition of the first part of the second Chapter to the Thessalonians, proving the Pope to be Antichrist. Lond. 1630, qu. and also published several Sermons, the Titles of most of which you may see in the Bodleian or Oxford Catalogue. Pray be pleased to see more of him in that vile Pamphlet called A century of scandalous, malignant, Priests, &c. printed 1643, qu. pag. 25.

Joh Preston M. A. of Queens Coll. in Camb. was also then in∣corporated.— He was afterwards Doct. of Div. Master of Ema∣nuel Coll. in the said University, a perfect Polititian, and the Pa∣triarch of the Presbyterian Party.

A. of Cambridge—He was a Native of Stratford bow in Middlesex, was educated in Kings Coll. of which he was Fellow, afterwards he was Doct. of Div. and the pious and learned Preacher of the Church in the Blackfriers in London, where in his time he was accounted the Father of the London Ministers, that is, of such, who were put in by the Authority of the rebellious Parliament in 1641, 42. &c. He was one of the Assembly of Di∣vines, was a good Text-man, as his Whole armour of God, Exposition † 1.156 of the Hebrews, Exposition of the Lords Prayer, and other learn∣ed works (the titles of some of which you may see in Oxf. Cat.) shew. He is often honorably mention'd by Voetius, Streso and other outlandish Divines; and was always accounted by the Puritan emi∣nent for his humility, patience, and faith: He died 12. of Dec. 1653 and was buried in the said Church of the Black-fryers on the 16 of the said month, aged 79 or thereabouts.

John Richardson M. A. of the same University was incorporated the same day—One Joh. Richardson was educated in Eman▪ Coll. was afterwards D. D. Master first of Peter house, then of Trin. Coll. in Cambridge, and Vicechancellour of that University. This Per∣son, who had a hand in the translation of the Bible, appointed by King Jam. 1. died about the beginning of 1625 and was buried in Trin. Coll. Chappel. Another John Richardson, who was D. D. succeeded Dr. Walt. Balcanquall in the Deanery of Rochester, and died in Apr. 1636, and a third John Richardson I find, who, from being D. of D. of Dublin, was made Bishop of Ardagh in Ireland: Which Bishoprick he being forced to leave upon the rebellion that broke out in that Kingdom, an. 1641, retired to London, where he died in 1654.

July 11. Thomas Bartlet of Magd. Coll.—He hath several com∣positions in Musick in MS. but whether extant I cannot tell.

On the 26. of Apr. Richard Deering, did, as a member of Christ Church supplicate for the Degree of Bach. of Musick, and had his desire, as it seems, granted (tho not registred) because in matters of his composition which were soon after by him made extant, he entitles himself Bach. of Musick.—This Person who was born of, and descended from, a right antient Family of his name living in Kent, was bred up in Italy, where he obtained the name of a most admirable Musician. After his return he practised his faculty for some time in England, where his name being highly cried up, be∣came, after many intreaties, Organist to the English Nuns living in the Monastery of the blessed Virgin Mary at Bruxells. At length

after the Marriage of K. Ch. 1. he was made Organist to his Royal Comfort Henrietta Maria, with whom he continued till she was forced to leave England by the Presbyterian outrages in the time of the grand rebellion. He hath written (1) Cantica sacra ad melo∣diam Madrigalium elaborata senis vocibus. Antwerp 1618. qu. divi∣ded in six volumes, according to the voices. In the title of this book he write, himself Richards Deringus Bac. Mus. (2) Cantica sacra ad duas & tres voces composita, cum Basso continuo ad Organum. Lond. 1662. &c. published by John Playford, and by him dedicated to Hen. Maria the Queen Dowager, the Author (who was always a Rom. Catholick) having been dead about 4 or 5 years before.

May 15. Edward Chaloner of Magd. Coll. afterwards of Alls.

June 22. John Reading of Magd. hall.

26. Hen. Cotton of Brasn. Coll. a Compounder—This Person, who was the Son of Dr. Hen. Cotton B. of Salisbury, became Preben∣dary of Fordington and Writhlington in the said Church, on the death of Dr. Will. Zouch, 29. Sept. 1608, Preb. of Bytton on the death of Meredith Morgan, 4. Dec. 1612, Chauntor thereof by the death of Dr. Walt. Bennet 30. July 1614, and at length Prebenda∣ry of Highworth in the said Church of Sarum by the death of Dr. Pet. Lilye, on the eleventh day of March following. He died in 1622, and was succeeded in the Chauntorship by Dr. Humph. Henchman, afterwards B. of Sa••um.

Jul. 4. Joh. Wylde of Ball. Coll.—This Person who was the eldest Son of Serj. Geo Wylde of Droitwich in Worcestershire, was about this time a Student in the Inner Temple, of which he became Lent read∣er 6. Car. 1. afterwards Serjeant at Law, and Lord chief Baron of the Exchecquer in the time of the rebellion. This was the Person who drew up the Impeachment against the Bishops, and by him sent to the H. of Lords, an. 1641. being the prime manager in that af∣fair, and what he wrot as to that matter, was afterwards printed He was the same also who, upon the command, or rather desire, of the great Men sitting at Westminister, did condemn to death at Winchester one Capt. J••hn Burley for causing a drum to be beat up for God and K. Ch. at Newport in the Isle of Wight, in order to rescue his captiv'd King, an. 1647. For which act, (after Burley had been executed at Winton, on the 10. Feb. the same year) he re∣ceived 1000 l. out of the privy purse of Derby-house. About the same time also he received another 1000 l. (as 'twas then con∣fidently affirmed) for the acquittance of Major Rolph who had a design to murder or poyson the said King; so 'twas all one to him whether he hung or hung not, so he got the beloved pelf. After Oliver came to the Protectorship, he retired and acted not, but when the Rump Parliament was restored after Richards deprivation, then was he restored to the Exchecquer, and after K. Charles 2. returned, lived about 9 years in a retired condition. At length giving way to fate at Hamstede near London, his body was buried at Wherwell in Hampshire, which is a Lordship belonging to Charles Lord de la Warr, who married Anne Dau. and Heir of the said John Wylde.

Jul. 5. Joh. Seller or Sellar of Oriel Coll.—One of both his names hath published Five Sermons—Lond. 1636. oct. and other things. Whether the same with him of Oriel, who was a Ministers Son of Glocestershire, I cannot tell, unless I could see the said Ser∣mons. Nor do I know anything to the contrary, but that he may be the same with John Seller of C. C. Coll. a Ministers Son of Kent, who was admitted Bach. of Arts 18. Feb. 1611. and Master 2. Jul. 1614. This last John Seller being a learned Man, Mr. Rich. James, (whom I have mentioned among the Writers 1638.) num∣bred him among his learned acquaintance, and therefore wrot divers Epistles to him.

Incorporations.

Apr. 18. John Donne sometimes of Hart hall, now M. of A. of Cambridge, was then incorporated in that Degree—On the 17. of the same month, he supplicated to proceed in the faculty of Arts, and to have all exercises requisite to perform for that Degree, be omitted. The reason was, as 'tis said in the publick register, quod huic Academiae maximè ornamento sit, ut ejusmodi viri optime de rei∣publica & ecclesia meriti gradibus Academicis insigniantur, &c. The next day, he, with one John Porye M. A. of Cambridge were in∣corporated, as the said register tells us, tho in another place there∣in, 'tis said he was admitted to pr••ceed, yet stood not in the Act following to compleat that Degree.

24. Ralph Cudworth Bach. of Div. of Cambridge—He was after∣wards D. of D. Rector of Aller in the Dioc. of B. and Wells &c. where he died (as it seems) either in Aug. or Sept. 1624.

Jam. 1. What he hath written I cannot justly say: Sure I am that he hath translated from high Dutch into English, A Sermon preached before Frederick 5. Prince Elector of Palatine and the Princess Lady Elizabeth, by Abrah. Scultetus Chaplain to his High∣ness, on Psal. 147. 1, 2, 3. &c. Lond. 1613. oct. and perhaps other things, but such I have not yet seen.

10. John Norton Bach. of Arts of Cambridge—The two names of this Person being common, I cannot therefore say that he was the same John Norton who was Minister of the Church of New En∣gland, Author of Responsio ad Guliel. Apollonii Syllogen, ad componen∣das controversias in Anglia. Lond. 1648. oct. and other things. One John Norton was Proctor of Cambridge after this time.

Griffin Williams M. of A. of the same University, was incorpo∣rated the same day—He was sometimes of Ch. Ch. in this Universi∣ty, was afterwards a frequent Writer, and Bishop of Ossorie in Ireland, and therefore is to be remembred at large in the next vol.

Henry Thurcross M. of A. of the said University also, was then (Jul. 10.) incorporated—He was collated to the Archdeaconry of Clievland in the Dioc. of York, in the place of John Philipps promoted to the See of Sodor or the Isle of Man, on the second day of Aug. 1619. Which Dignity he resigning 1635 was succeeded by Timothy Thurcross Bach. of Divinity.

Jan. 22. David Foulis M. A. of Glascoe in Scotland—He is stiled in one of the registers Colintoni Comarchi filius. See another of both his names in these Fasti, an. 1605.

Lud••vicus Capellus or Cappellus a young French Man of great hopes, became a Sojournor in the University in the beginning of this year, and in the month of Feb. did answer publickly in Dispu∣tations in Divinity, in the School allotted for that faculty, and about the same time gave books to the publick Library. He was afterwards an eminent Hebrician, Tutor to the famous Sam. Bochartus, and Author of divers most excellent books, as you may see in the Ox∣ford Catalogue: Among which are his Critica Sacra, much com∣mended by Hug. Grotius. This L••d. Capellus was living at Saumor in France, an. 1656, and perhaps some years after.

Incorporations.

On the 14. Jul. being the day after the publick Act had been celebrated, these Cantabrigians following were incorporated.

July 14. Henry Burton M. A.—This Person who made a great noise and disturbance in his time, was born in an obscure town cal∣led Birdsall in Yorkshire, educated in St. Johns Coll. in the said University, afterwards was Tutor or Master to the Sons of Robert Lord Carey of Lepington, (whose Lady was Governess to Pr. Char. when a Child) sole officer (which some call Clerk) in the Closet of Pr. Henry; and after his death to the said Prince Charles, remov∣ed from his Service when that Prince became Kings for his prag∣maticalness and impudence in demonstrating by a letter, which he presented to the said King, how popishly affected were Dr. Neile and Dr. Laud his continual attendants. About that time he being made Minister of St. Matthews Church in Friday-street in London, his Sermons which he preached there (some of which he afterwards published) savouring of nothing else but of schisme, sedition, and altogether against His Majesties Declaration, he was for so doing, and especially for publishing two-virulent Pamphlets not only brought before the Council-board, but several times into the High Commission Court, for what he had said and done, and afterwards imprison'd, fin'd, degraded, deprived of his benefice, pillorized with Prynne and Bastwicke, lost his ears, condemn'd to perpetual imprisonment in Lancaster Goal first, and afterwards in the Castle in the Isle of Guernsey. From which last place being released by the members of that Parliament which began at Westminster 3. Nov. 1640, was (with Prynne and Bastwick) brought home in triumph to the great contempt of justice, was restored to his benefice and well rewarded for his losses. The titles of several of his books you may see in the Oxford Catalogue, and some that are not there, I shall here set down, viz. (1) The Law and the Gospel reconciled a∣gainst the Antinomians. printed 1631. qu. (2) The sounding of the two last Trumpets; or Meditations on the ninth, tenth, and eleventh Chapters of the Revelations. Lond. 1641. qu. (3) Relation of Mr. Chil∣lingworth. This I have not yet seen. (4) A Narration of his life (viz. of H. Burton) &c. Lond. 1643. qu. (5) Parliaments power for Laws in Religion. printed 1645. oct. (6) Conformities deformity, &c. pr. 1646. the Author being then 67 years of age. Afterwards seeing what strange courses the great Men at Westminster took, he grew more moderate, notwithstanding he was an Independent, and lived, as I conceive, till they took off his old Masters Head.

Rich. Franklin M. of A.—I take this Person to be the same with R. Franklin, who was Bach. of Divinity, Minister of Elsworth in Cambridgshire and Author of Tractatus de tonis in Lingua Graecam∣ca, &c. Lond. 1630. oct.

Thomas Walkington Bach. of Div.—He was afterwards Doctor of that faculty, Minister of Fulham near London and the writer and publisher of Rabboni; Mary Magd. tears of sorrow and solace, preach∣ed at Pauls cross, on Joh. 20. 16. Lond. 1620. oct. and of another Sermon on Ecclesiastes 12. 10. &c.

John Gostlyn or Goslyn Doct. of Physick—He was born in the City of Norwych, educated in Caius Coll. was afterwards Proctor of Cambridge, Master of the said Coll. and twice Vicechancellour of that University. He had the repute of a general Scholar, an elo∣quent * 1.158 Artist and one that was admirably well skill'd in Phy∣sick, of which faculty he was the Kings Professor in the said Uni∣versity. He died in Oct. or Nov. 1626, and was buried near to the body of his worthy Friend and Patron Dr. Legg, in the Chappel of the said Coll. of Caius, to which he was a very considerable be∣nefactor. One of his Sirname was Author of Aurifodina Linguae Galliae.

Alexander Bound D. of D.—He was sometimes of Kings Coll. was afterwards Vice-provost of Eaton and Rector of the rich Church of Petworth in Sussex; where, as also in Cambridge, he was esteem∣ed a godly, learned and religious Man.

Andrew Bing D. of D.—On the 12 May 1606, he was collated to the subdeanery of York, upon the resignation of one Hen. Wright, (who, when he was M. of A. succeeded Edmund Bunny in that Dignity, an. 1575.) and on the 13 Apr. 1618, he was installed Archbdeacon of Norwych in the place of Tho. Jegon D. D. who died in the latter end of 1617, being then Master of C. C. Coll. in Cam∣bridge and Patron of the Parsonage of Sibell Henningham in Essex; where, if I mistake not, he the said Jegon was buried.

Which Cantabrigians I say, viz. H. Burton, R Franklin, T. Wal∣kington, J. Gostlym, A. Bound, and A. Bing, were incorporated in their respective degrees, on the 14 July before mention'd.

Will. Conway Doct. of Phys. of Caen in Normandy, was incorpo∣rated the same day.

Jan. 14. John Balcanquall M. A. of Edinburgh.—He was a Scotch man born, was now Fellow of Exeter Coll. and afterwards Rector of Tatinhills in Staffordshire, where he died about the latter end of 1646, which is all I know of him, only that he was after this year Bach. of Div.

March 18. Philibert Vernatti Doctor of both the Laws of the University of Leyden.—One of both his names was afterwards a Baronet in Scotland, and another, who was a Knight, hath a Re∣lation of making Ceruss, in the Philosophical Transactions, numb. 137. an. 1677.

Creations.

Oct. 30. Francis More Esq. sometimes of S. Joh. Coll. in this Uni∣versity, now an eminent Professor of the municipal Laws, was actually created Mast. of Arts in the house of Convocation. He is mention'd at large among the Writers, an. 1621.

In the latter end of this year, Frederick Count Palatine of the Rhyne, Prince Elector of the Empire, and afterwards King of Bohe∣mia, (who had lately married Princess Elizabeth the only Daugh∣ter of K. Jam. 1.) came to visit the University, where being sum∣ptuously entertained, was pleased with his own hand writing to matriculate himself a member of the University (sub tit. Aed. Chr.) with this Symbole, Rege me Domine secundum verbum tuum.

He died about the latter end of Dec. 1650, being then an Inhabitant of the Parish of S. Gregory near to the said Cathedral, and was buried in S. Faiths Church adjoyning. Whereas most Musitians dye obscurely and in a mean condition, this died so rich, as to leave to the poor of Marsh in the Parish of Dunnington in the Isle of Ely, an hundred pounds to be laid out for a purchase for their yearly use.

May…John Amner Organist of the Cath. Church of Ely, and Master of the Choristers there.—He hath composed and published Sacred Hymns of three, four, five, and six parts for Voices and Viols.

Feb. 17. Bevill Grenevil of Exeter Coll. the eldest Son of a Kt. was then admitted not only Bach. of Arts, but about the same time the senior Collector of the Bachelaurs that determined this

year.—He was afterwards a Knight, and much famed for his exemplary Loyalty to K. Ch. 1. in the beginning of the Rebellion, which was raised by a prevalent Party (Presbyterians) in the two houses of Parliament, an. 1642. He was killed in his Maje∣sty's Service at Lansdowne near Bathe, 5 July 1643, leaving a Son behind him named John, sometimes a Gent. Com. in Gloc. Hall. made the first Earl of Bathe of his name, by K. Ch. 2. Soon after Sir Bevil's death, came out a Book of Verses made by several Ox∣onians, wherein you'll find much of his Worth and Gallantry. He had a Brother named Sir Rich. Grenevill, who had received some Education in this University, was afterwards a stout maintainer of the Kings Cause in the said Rebellion, was High Sheriff of Devon. 1645, and Author of A narrative of the affairs of the West, since the defeat of the Earl of Essex, at Lestithiell in Cornwal, an. 1644. in 3 sheets in qu.

Feb. 17. Henry Carey of Exeter Coll. the eldest Son of a Knight, was also then admitted Bachelaur, and the junior Collector. He was afterwards Earl of Monmouth, and a frequent Translator of Books, as I shall hereafter tell you.

Thom. Carey of the same Coll. was admitted on the same day. —This Themas, who was younger Brother to the said Henry Ca∣rey, was born in Northumberland while his Father Sir Robert Carey was Warden of the Marches towards Scotland, proved afterwards a most ingenious Poet, and was Author of several Poems printed scatter'dly in divers Books; one of which, beginning Farewel fair Saint, &c. had a vocal Composition of two parts set to it by the sometimes famed Musitian Henry Lawes. Upon the breaking out of the Rebellion in 1642, he adhered to his Majesty, being then of the Bedchamber to, and much esteemed by him. But after that good King had lost his head, he took it so much to heart, that he fell suddenly sick, and died before the expiration of the year 1643, aged 53, or thereabouts. Soon after his Body was buried in a Vault (the burying place of his Family) under S. Joh Bapt. Chap∣pel within the precincts of S. Peter's Church in Westminster.

  • George Carleton of Mert. Coll.
  • Joh. Wilkinson of Magd. Hall.

The last of the said two Doctors was now Principal of the said Hall of S. M. Magd. and afterwards was President of Magd. Coll. but hath published nothing. One John Wilkinson hath written An Exposition of the 13 chapt. of the Revelations of Jesus Christ. Printed privately in 1619. qu. The publisher of which tells us, that it was the purpose and desire of the Author of the said Book to have published his judgment of the whole Book of the Revelation, but through the malice of the Prelates, (as he adds) who divers times spoiled him of his goods and kept him many years in prison, he was prevented of his purpose. He tells us also, that after his death some of his Labours coming into the hands of his Friends in scat∣ter'd and imperfect papers, they laboured with the help of others, that heard him declare his judgment therein, to set forth the said little Book or Treatise. Whether this Joh. Wilkinson was of Oxon. I cannot yet tell, neither whether he was the same Joh. Wilkinson M. of A. who became Rector of Babcary in Somersetshire, in Apr. 1587. Another Joh. Wilkinson was a Lawyer of Bernards Inn near

London, who hath published A treatise collected out of the Statutes of this Kingdom concerning the Office and Authority of Coroners and She∣riffs. And another entit. An easie and plain method for the keeping of a Court Leet. Both printed in 1620, &c. in oct. Whether he was ever bred in any University, I know not: sure I am, one Rob. Wilkinson was, who applying his study to Divinity, proceeded in that Faculty, (at Cambr. I think) was Rector of S. Olaves in Southwark, and a publisher of several sermons, as the Oxford Ca∣talogue will tell you. He died in the year 1617.

Incorporations.

Christianus Rumphius Doctor of Philosophy and Physick, chief and principal Physician to Frederick 5, Prince Elect. of the Palat. and to the illustrious Lady Elizabeth daughter of K James 1. of England, was incorporated Doctor of Phys. as he had stood at Basil and Heydelberg, in the house of Sir Joh.

Creations.

Mar. 30. Will. Hakewill of Lincolns Inn Esq; sometimes a Stu∣dent in Ex••ter Coll. was then actually created M. of A. being the very next day after his Kinsman Sir Tho. Bodley was buried.—I shall make large mention of this Hakewell in the second Vol. of this Work, or elsewhere.

It was then granted by the ven. Convocation, that Will. Camden Clarenceaux King of Arms, who had served as an Herald at the burial of the said Sir Tho. Bodley, might be created M. of A. but for what reason he was not, unless his refusal, as I have elsewhere told you, I cannot tell.

Laurence Bodley M. of A. Canon residentiary of the Cath. Ch. of Exeter, and chief Mourner at his Brothers (Sir Tho. Bodley) Funeral, was actually created D. of D. the same day, as a member of Ch. Church.

July 1. John Walter sometimes of Brasn. Coll. now of the Inner Temple, and Counsellour for the University of Oxon, was created M. of A.—He was afterwards Attorney to Prince Charles, Serje∣ant at Law, a Knight and chief Baron of the Exchequer. He died 18 Nov. 1630, aged 67, and was buried in a little Vault under a north Isle (which he before had built) joyning to the Church of Wolvercote near Oxon, where at this day is a splendid monument over his grave for him and his two Wives. David Walter Esq; one of the Grooms of the Bedchamber to K.

Aug. 7. It was then granted by the ven. Convocation, that Sir Tho. Flemmyng Lord Chief Justice of England, might be created M. of A. but whether it was effected, it appears not.

Feb. 21. Sir Joh. Doderidge Knight, one of the Justices of the Kings Bench, was created M. of A. in Serjeants Inn in London.

A young man named Jacob Aretius, who stiles himself Germano-Britannus, studied now in Oxon, and published (1) Primula veris: seu Panegerica ad excellentiss. Principem Palatinum. This he calls Eidyllium. (2) In augustiss. gloriosiss. Regis Jacobi inaugurationem carmen seculare, &c. written in Greek, Lat. Dutch, Ital. and Engl. (3) In nuptias illustriss. principis Frederici & Elizabethae, Maletemata. Which three things were printed at Lond. 1613. qu. He hath also Lat. Verses extant on the death of Prince Henry, and perhaps other things.

This year also studied in the University Rob. Spotswood and Rob. Murrey Scots. Of the first I shall speak at large elsewhere, as also of the other, if he be the same with Sir Rob. Murrey who was afterwards President of the Royal Society.

The most learned also Isaac Casaubon was entred a Student in Bodlies Library as a Member of Ch. Ch. in the month of May this year, but died soon after to the great loss of learning. He was a great Linguist, a singular Grecian, and an exact Philo∣loger.

He had a share with his Lordship out of the office from which Sir Henry Compton was ejected in the time of the said Rebellion, worth 3000 l. per an. was keeper of Windsore Park, one of the two Masters of the Pre∣rogative Office, and made* 1.159 the Bayliff of Westminster give him 50 l. per an. to continue him there.

John Charlet of Oriel Coll. was also admitted the same day—He was now Prebendary of Worcester, and dying in 1640, Herb. Croft D. D. succeeded him in that Dignity.

Theodore Price was admitted as a member of New Coll. on the same day also—He was originally Chorister of Alls. Coll. after∣wards Fellow of Jesus, now Principal of Hart hall and about this time Subdean of Westminster, Prebendary of Winchester; and af∣terwards (as 'tis said by some) Master of the Hospital of St. Cross. He gave way to fate 15. Dec. 1631, and was buried at Westmin∣ster; whereupon Dr. John Williams Dean of that place called toge∣ther the Prebendaries of the Church, and took great pains to make the World suspect that he died a Rom. Catholick, only to raise a scandal on his enemy Bishop Laud who had commended him to the King for a Bishoprick in Wales. A rigid and inveterate Presbyte∣rian tellsa 1.160 us, that the said Dr. Land

did endeavour to pro∣mote him to a Welsh Bishoprick, but was opposed by Philip Earl of Pembroke, so Dr. Morg. Owenb 1.161 was preferred in his stead. This Price lived a professed, unpreaching Epicure and Arminian, and died a reconciled Papist to the Church of Rome, having re∣ceived extreme unction from a popish Priest,

&c. Thus Prynne; yet the Churchc 1.162 Historian tells us that Dr. Williams beforemen∣tion'd did much endeavour to make him Archb. of Armagh, but denied by the Duke of Bucks, without any mention made of Dr. Laud his endeavours. But so it was that Dr. Williams being a great favourer of the Puritan or Presbyterian, Prynne therefore made no mention of him, but laid all upon the score of Laud,

6. Thom. Anyan President of C. C. Coll. who accumulated— This Doctor who was born at Sandwych in Kent, and had lately been Chaplain to Egerton Lord Keeper, published (1) A Sermon preached at St. Maries Church in Oxon. 12. Jul. 1612; being the Act Sunday, on Psal. 1. 3. Lond. 1612. qu. (2) Sermon preached at St. Mary Spittle 10. Apr. 1615. on Acts 10. 34. 35. Oxon. 1615. qu. In the year 1619, he being then one of his Majesties Chaplains, he was made Prebendary of Glocester, and afterwards being found un∣fit to govern a College, because he was a fosterer of faction, he resign'd his Presidentship and was made Prebendary of Canterbury; where dying 1632, was buried in the Cath. Ch. there.

Francis James of Ch. Ch. stood in the Act this year to compleat his Doctorship in Divinity, but when he was admitted, it appears not in the publick register.—He was now in great esteem for se∣veral Specimens of Latin Poetry which he before had made, espe∣cially for his Poem, published in 1612, entit. Threnodia Henricia∣narum Exequiarum. Sive Panolethria Anglicana, &c. He was near of kin to Dr. Tho. James mention'd before, and among the Writers under the year 1629, was about this time Preacher or Read. at the Savoy in the Strand near London, and, as it seems, a Preacher at St. Mat∣thews in Friday Street. At length departing this mortal life in 1621, was buried, (I think) at Ewbu••st in Surrey.

Incorporations.

July 7. Franc. Barrough lately of Eman. Coll. in Cambridge, now of St. Johns in Oxon, was incorporated either Bach. or Master of Acts.

9. Augustin Lindsell M. of A. and Fellow of Clare hall in Cam¦bridge— He was born at Bumsted in Essex, was bredd 1.163 Scho∣lar and Fellow in the said Hall, where he became well studied in Greek, Hebrew and all antiquity. Afterwards he succeeded Dr. Walt. Curle in the Deanery of Lichfield 1628, Dr. Will. Piers in the Episcopal See of Peterborough, (to which he was elected 22. Dec. 1632) and being translated thence to Hereford, in (December) 1633 upon the translation of Dr. Juxon to London, died at his Palace in Hereford 6. Nov. 1634. whereupon his body was buried in the Cath. Church there. He was a Man of very great learning, of

which he gave sufficient evidence to the Church by setting forth that excellent edition of Theophylact upon St. Pauls Epistles.

Thomas Goodwin M. A. of the said University, was also then (July 9.) incorporated as it is said in the publick register; but if he be the same Person whom I shall mention among the creations an. 1653. I should rather think that he was incorporated Bach. of Arts.

Sam. Buggs was incorporated M. of A. the same day—See more of him among the Writers in John King, an. 1638.

July 12. Edmund Wilson Doctor of Phys. of Kings Coll. in Cam∣bridge and Fellow of the Coll. of Physicians in London—On the 18. Dec. 1616. he was installed Canon of Windsore on the death of Dr. Rich Field, but because he was not ordained Priest within a year following, he was deprived of his Canonry and Dr. Godfrey Goodman succeeded, being installed 20. Dec. 1617. This Dr. W••••∣son who was Son of Will. Wilson mention'd among the Doctors of Divinity, under the year 1607, and had practised his faculty seve∣ral years in Windsore, died in the Parish of St. Mary le Bow in London about the beginning of Oct. 1633, at which time, or before, he gave many books to Lincoln Coll Library in Oxon.

Thomas Horsmanden D. D. of the said University of Cambridge, was incorporated the same day.

July 14. Lancelot Langhorne Bach. of Div. of Cambridge—He was now Parson of St. Martins Church within Ludgate, London, and had published Mary sitting at Christs feet; Serm at the fune∣ral of Mrs. Mary Swaine, the Wife of Mr. Will. Swaine, at St. Bo∣tolphs without Aldersgate, on Luke 10. 42. Lond. 1611. oct. and perhaps other things. He died about the beginning of November this year (1614) and was buried, I presume, in his Church of St. Martin beforementioned.

Mar. 23. Philip King M. A. of the same University—Another of both his names was of this University, as I shall tell you in these Fasti an. 1618. and 1645.

This year Charles de Beauvais of the Isle of Guernsey, a young Man most conversant in the study of learned arts, was entred a Student in Bodies Library, but whether he was matriculated as a member of any Coll. or Hall, it appears not. He is the same Ch. de Beauvais without doubt, who was afterwards Author of (1) De∣disciplinis & scientiis in genere: & de recto ordine quo sunt in Scho∣lis & Academiis docendae, &c. (2) Recta delineatio disciplinae Vni∣versalis, seu primae Philosophiae; itemque Logicae. Which two were printed at Lond. 1648. in oct. (3) Exercitations concerning the pure and true, and the impure and false religion. Lond. 1665. oct. at which time the Author was Rector of Witheham in Sussex.

After he had left the University he became Minister of Eastwood in Rochford hundred in his own Coun∣try, but being desirous to forward and prosecute his natural Genie he had to the collecting and writing of voyages, travels, and pil∣grimages, left his cure to his Brother, and by the favour of the Bishop of London got to be Parson of St. Martins Church within Ludgate.

Hall, a Compounder.—He had a son of both his names of Vniversity Coll. an. 1635, but neither of them, as I can yet find, were Writers, which I thought fit to let the Reader know, because there have been several Samuel Clarks that have been Authors, as (1) Sam. Clark of Merton Coll. whom I shall mention in the second Volume of this Work. (2) Sam. Clark sometimes Minister of S. Bennet-Fink in London, born at Wolstan in Warwickshire, 10 Oct. 1599, being of the same Family with those of Willoughby in that County, (as Sam. Clark the Com∣pounder before mention'd was) afterwards a severe Calvinist, and a scribling Plagiary, as his Works (mostly the lives of Presbyteri∣an Divines) shew; a Catalogue of which, you may see in one of his books entit. The lives of sundry eminent persons in this later age. In two parts, 1. of Divines, 2. of Novility, &c. Lond. 1683, fol. be∣fore which is a canting narrative of his own life. He died at Thi∣stleworth or Istleworth in Middlesex 25 Dec. 1682. (3) Sam. Clark of Pembroke Hall in Cambridge, who published certain matters in 1649, and after, &c.

• Jun. 25. Will. Kingsley of Alls. Coll.
• 26. Joh. Flavell of Broadgates Hall
• July 4. Hen. Seward of Brasn. Coll.
  • Compounders.

The first of these three, was at this time Archdeacon of Canter∣bury, and died about the beginning of the year 1648. The second was a Dignitary, and Rector of Tallaton in Devonshire, where he died in 1623. Another of both his names was a Writer of Wadham Coll. as you may see among the Writers, an. 1617, and a third, who was a Devonian born, and Son, or at least near of kin to him of Tallaton, hath published several things, (some of which are mention'd in Joh. Flavell of Wadh. Coll.) and was li∣ving divers years after the Restauration of K. Ch. 2. but whether he was of the Univ. of Oxon I cannot yet tell. Jo. Flavell of Tal∣lat••n had a Son named Thomas who was Bach. of Arts of Trin Coll. in this University, afterwards Vicar of Mullian and Rector of Great Ruan in Cornwal, also Prebendary of Exeter, and died 1682, aged 77 years.

• 15. Edw. Chetwynd of Exet.
• Oct. 23. John Moseley of Magd.
• Nov. 7. H••nr. Beaumont of Alls.

The last of which was a Compounder, being at this time Dean of Peterborough and Canon of Windsore. In 1622, May 18. he was installed Dean of Windsore in the room of Marc. Anton. de Dominis, who in Feb. going before had left England. This Dr. Beaumont died 30 June 1627, and was buried in S. George's Chap. there, on the right side of the grave of Tho. Danett one of his Pre∣decessors in that Deanery. See more in the Incorporations, an. 1571.

• Feb. 10.
  • Rich. Carpenter
  • Joh. Standard
    • of Ex. Coll.

Both of these were learned men, and so taken to be by Dr. Joh. Prideaux, as I have elsewhere told you. Dr. Standard was after∣wards a Justice of Peace for Oxfordshire. (being Lord of Whithill) and dying 16 Dec. 1647, aged 66, was buried in the Churchyard at Tackley in the said County.

Incorporations.

Apr. 24. Tho. Farnabie M. A. of Cambr. sometimes of Merton Coll. in this University, and afterwards the eminent Schoolmaster of Kent.—I shall mention him at large in the second Volume of this work.

Jul. 2. Ralph Rand M. A. of S. Andrew in Scotland.

9. Joh. Hacket M. A. of Trin. Coll. in Cambr.—About this time he wrot a Latin Comedy called Loiola,—printed at Lond. 1648. in oct. was afterwards D. of D. Parson of S. Andrews Church in Hol∣bourn 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.

Feb. 10. Robert Blake of Wadham Coll.—This right valiant per∣son having taken no higher degree in this University, I must therefore make mention of him in this place. Born therefore he was at Bridgwater in Somersetshire, being the Son and Heir of Humphrey Blake of that place Gent. but descended of the antient Family of the Blakes of Blanchfield in the said County. In the be∣ginning of Lent Term an. 1615, he being then about 15 years of age he was matriculated in the University as a Member of S. Al∣bans Hall, about which time standing for a Scholarship of C. C. Coll. with Rob Hegge and Rob. Newan, was put aside, whether for want of merit or friends, I cannot tell. While he continued in the said Hall, he was observed by his Contemporaries to be an early riser and studious, but withal he did take his pleasure in Fishing, Fow∣ling, &c. and sometimes in stealing of Swans. Before the time came when he was to take a degree in Arts, he translated himself to his Country men in Wadham Coll. and as a Member of that House, he did stand for a Fellowship of Merton Coll. with Alex. Fisher, John Doughtie, Edw. Reynolds, John Earle, &c. an. 1619, but whether it was for want of Scholarship, or that his person was not handsome or proper, (being but of stature little) which Sir Hen. Savile then Warden of that Coll. did much respect, he lost it, continued in Wadham Coll. without the taking of any other degree, and in 1623 wrot a Copy of Verses* 1.166 on the death of the learned Camden. Afterwards he went into his own Country, where he lived in the condition of a Gentleman, but always ob∣served to be puritancially inclin'd. In 1640 he was chosen a Bur∣gess for Bridgwater to serve in that Parliament which began at Westminster 13 Apr. 1640, but missing that Office in the same year when the Long Parliament began on the 3 Nov. following, he si∣ded with the Presbyterian, took up arms for the Parliament soon after, received a Commission from the Members thereof to be a Captain of Dragoons; and afterwards being made Governour of Taunton, was made a Colonel. Which Town, as also afterwards Lyme, he defended with great Valour against several famous and forcible Sieges of the Kings Army under the command of Prince Maurice and George Lord Goring. At length the War being in a manner terminated, the worth of this inestimable great Comman∣der (being so esteemed by those of his party) was taken notice of by the Parliament: whereupon they resolved that it should not lye hid at home, but shew it self abroad, and therefore he was made first one of the Commissioners of the Navy, then one of the Lord Wardens of the Cinque Ports, and at length about 1649 one of the Generals at Sea: At his entrance into which office, he pent up Prince Rupert in the chief Port of Portugal, and hunted him from Sea to Sea, till he had reduced those Ships with him, which before had revolted from the Parliament. In the beginning of the year 1651 he reduced the Isle of Sci••ly to the Parliament Service, and on the 25 Nov. following, he was elected one of the Council of State, being then in great repute with Oliver. In 1652, Sept. 5. he sorely beat the French Fleet, and at that time, there being a Quarrel between the two Republicks, England and the Vnited Provinces, he and his Fleet were worsted in the Downes by Van Tromp the Dutch Admiral and his Fleet, 29 of Nov. following; but on the 18 of Febr. following that, on which day hapned a most terrible Sea-sight betwixt them again, near to the Isles of W••ight and Portland, the Dutch were in a woful manner worsted. Ever after, Blake continued a fortunate Vindicator of his Countries Pri∣vileges, from the encroachments of insulting Neighbours, a victo∣rious Enemy of the Spaniard, and was highly valued of all, even the Royalist. The last part, and the most desperate attempt that he ever acted in a Sea-blood, not that I shall now take notice of his daring piece of service at Tunis against the Turks, an. 1655) was against the Spaniards at Sancta Cruz, in Apr. 1657, which made him as terrible as Drake had been before to them, there be∣ing less difference betwixt the same and report of their actions and exploits, than in the sound of their names: For there, with 25 sail, he fought (as 'twere in a ring) with seven Forts▪ a Castle, and 16 Ships, many of them being of greater force than most of those Ships Blake carried in against them: yet in spite of oppositi∣on, he soon calcined the Enemy, and brought his Fleet back again to the Coast of Spain full fraught with honour. But what Com∣mander is able to repel the stroke of death? This is he that doth conquer the Conquerours, and level the honours of the mightiest Monarchs with the meanest Captains: there is no withstanding his force, for all must fall: Blake himself was compel'd to strike the top-sail and yield, for in his return home, he gave up the Ghost in the Ship called the George the Admiral as it entred into Plymouth Sound, on Friday the seventeenth of August, an. 1657, aged 59, oc∣casioned by the Scurvy and Dropsie which he had contracted by his seasaring. The next day his body was imbowelled, and clo∣sed in a sheet of lead, and the bowels were interred in the great Church at Plymouth. He was a man wholly devoted to his Coun∣tries Service, resolute in his undertakings, and most faithful in the performance of them. With him, Valour seldom mist its reward, nor Cowardize its punishment. When news was brought him of a metamorphosis in the State at home, he would then encourage

the Seamen to be most vigilant abroad; for (said† 1.167 he) 'Tis not our duty to mind State affairs, but to keep foreigners from fooling us. In all his expeditions, the Wind seldome deceived him, but most an end stood his friend, especially in his last undertaking at S. Cruze in the Canary Islands. To the last, he lived a single life, never be∣ing espoused to any, but his Countries, Quarrels. Soon after his death and embalming, the body was conveyed by Sea to Green∣wych House, where it remained for some time. From thence it was conveyed by Water on the 4 of Sept. following with all due solem∣nity and honour in a barge of state cove••ed with Velvet, adorned with Escocheons and Pencils, accompanied with his brothers and divers of his kindred, relations and servants in mourning, together with Oliver's Privy Council, the Commissioners of the Admiralty and Navy, the Lord Mayor and Aldermen of London, the Field Officers of the Army, and divers other persons of honour and quality, in a great number of barges and wherries covered with mourning, marshal'd and order'd by the Officers of Arms who directed and attended the solemnity. In that order they passed to Westminster bridge, and at their landing proceeded in the same manner thro a Guard of several Regiments of foot Soldiers of the Army, where∣in he had been a Colonel in many eminent Services. And so pro∣ceeding from the New Palace Yard at Westminster to the Abbey, was interr'd in a Vault, made on purpose, in the Chappel of King Hen. 7. In that place it rested till the 12 Sept. 1661, and then by vertue of his Majesties express Command sent to the Dean of Westminster, to take up the bodies of all such persons which had been unwarrantably buried in the Chap. of Hen. 7. and in other Chappels and places within the collegiate Church of S. Peter in Westminster since the year 1641, and to bury them in some place in the Churchyard adjacent: His body, I say, was then (Sept. 12.) taken up, and with others, buried in a pit in S. Margarets Church yard adjoyning, near to the back-door of one of the Prebendaries of Westminster; in which place it now remaineth, enjoying no other monument, but what is reared by his Valour, which time it self can hardly deface. At the same time were removed the bo∣dies of (1) Col. Rich Deane sometimes one of the Admirals at Sea for the Republick of England, who was killed in a Sea-fight be∣tween the English and Dutch (which last were worsted) that hap∣ned the 2 and 3 of June 1653. (2) Col Humph Mackworth one of Oliver's Council, who was interr'd in Hen. 7. Chappel with great solemnity 26 Dec. 1654. (3) Dr. Isaac Doris••aus. (4) Sir Wil••. Constable of Flamburgh in Yorkshire, one of the Judges of K. Ch. 1. sometimes Covernour of Glocester, and Colonel of a Regiment of Foot; who dying 15 June, was buried in K. Hen. 7. Chap. 21 of the same month an. 1655. (5) Col. Joh. Meldroma a Scot who recei∣ved his deaths wound at Ailresford in Hampshire. (6) Col….. Buscawen a Cornish man. (7) Col. Edw. Popham one of the Admi∣rals of the Fleet belonging to the Parliament; who dying of a Fever at Dover 19 Aug. 1651, was buried the 24 of Sept. follow∣ing, in S. Joh. Bapt. Chappel. His body, after it was taken up, was not buried in the said pit, but carried elsewhere (into the Country I think) by some of his Relations, yet his monument was permitted to stand by the intercession of some of his Ladies friends, with the stone, wherein the Epitaph was insculp'd, to be turn'd. (8) Will. Stroude or Strode a Parliament man, and one of the five Members demanded by K. Ch. 1. (9) Thom May the Parliamen∣tarian Historian. These with the bodies of Will. Strong and Steph. Marshall sometimes Members of the Assembly of Divines (the last of which was buried in the south Isle of the Church 23 Nov. ••655) and of several Women also, and others, were re-buried in the pit before mentioned, on the 12 and 14 of Sept. 1661. But after this long digression let's return to the remaining part of the Admis∣sions.

Mar. 22. Jonas Mountague of Mert Coll.—This person who was a Berkshire man born, became a Student in the said College 1604, aged 18, but before he took a Degree, he was call'd away by Sir Hen Savile to drudge for him in his Edition of S. Chrys••stom's Works. Afterwards Sir Henry procured for him the Usher's place in Eaton School, and afterwards the degree of Bach. of Arts. One Rich. Mountague Fellow of Kings Coll. in Cambridge (who became Bishop of Norwich in 1638) was employed by the said Sir Henry to correct Chrysostome in Greek before it went to the Press at Eaton, (about which time Mountague was Fellow of the said Coll.) but how nearly related Jonas was to this Richard Mountague, who was a Ministers Son, I know not.

Fellow of the said house of Merton, an. 1593, took the degrees in Arts, being then accounted a most excellent Disputant and Orator, and a person of prodigious memory. In 1599, Jul. 9, he according to the Statute of his Coll. did publickly dispute and speak speeches against the opinion of Aristotle (which the said Satute stiles varying) in the common Re∣fectory of that house, on these three Th••ses, (1) Juvenis est ido∣neus auditor moralis philosophiae. (2) Probanda est in sene verecum∣dia. (3) Bonus à malo per dimidiam vitae partem differt. Which Speeches being esteemed most admirable in their kind, and of a Ciceronian stile, were upon the desire of many of the Auditors, printed in an octavo vol. but in what year I know not; for few Copies being printed, I could never see one. He was afterwards a Lecturer in the City of York, and at length in London, where he died about 1630.

These following Masters of Cambr. were incorporated on the 15 July, being the next day after the Act had been concluded.

Thomas Goad Mast. of Arts of Kings Coll.—He was afterwards Chaplain to Archb. Abbot, Rector of Hadley in Suffolk, Doct. of Div. Prebendary of Canterbury, &c. a great and general Scholar, exact Critick and Historian, a Poet, Schoolman and Divine. This p••rson who was Son of Dr. Roger Goad Provost of Kings Coll. be∣fore

Benj. Laney M. of Arts.—He was the fourth Son of a wealthy Merchant of Ipsu••ych named Joh. Laney Esq; who sparing nothing that might advance his education, took him from School, and cau∣sed him to be admitted a Student in Christs Coll. in Cambr. Where making great proficiency in his studies, was removed to Pembroke Hall, of which he became Fellow, and contemporary there with Ralph Brownrig. Afterwards he was made Master of that house, Doct. of Div. Vicechancellour of the University, Chaplain in or∣dinary to K. Ch. 1, Prebendary of Winchester, and about the same time of Westminster, in the place of Lambert Osbaldeston deprived an. 1638, and afterwards (upon the restauration of Osbaldeston by the Long Parliament) in the place of Griffith Williams, an. 1641. Soon after, he was outed of his Mastership of Pembroke Hall for his Loyalty, and about that time did attend in his Majesties Service in the Treaty at Vxbridge, being then esteemed a learned Divine. Afterwards when his Majesty Ch. 2. was in exile, he did in a most dutiful manner attend him, and for several years after suffer'd great calamity, as innumerable Royalists did. Upon his Majesty's return to his Kingdoms, he was restored to his Headship, and in recompence of his sufferings, he was first made Dean of Rochester, in the place of Dr. Tho. Turner, in which Dignity he was installed 24 of July 1660, and soon after had the Bishoprick of Peterborough confer'd upon him, (with liberty to keep his Mastership in com∣mendam) to which he received Consecration in the Abbey Church of S. Peter at Westminster, on Sunday Decemb. 2. an. 1660. After∣wards, upon the death of Dr. Rob. Sanderson, he was translated to Lincoln, and on the death of Dr. M. Wrenn, to Ely; where he sate to the time of his death, in the latter end of 1674. Five of his Sermons preached before the King, were printed in 1668—9. And after his death were published his Observations on a letter about liberty and necessity, &c. Lond. 1676, in tw. which Letter was written to the Duke of Newcastle by Tho. Hobbes of Malmsbury.

Rich. Holdsworth M. A. of S. Johns Coll.—This most eminent and loyal person was a Native of Newcastle upon Tyne in Nor∣thumberland, where, for some time, he was educated in Grama∣ticals; afterwards being sent to the said Coll. he made wonderful proficiency in Arts and Theology, became successively Divinity Professor of Gresham Coll. (being about that time D. of D.) Ma∣ster of Emanuel Coll. several times Vicechancellour of Cambridge, Archdeacon of Huntingdon in the place of Dr. Owen Gwynn Master of S. John's Coll. before mention'd deceased, an. 1633, (which Dignity Gwynn had confer'd upon him in 1622 upon the resignation of Dr. Laud) and at length upon the grant of the Deanery of Durham to Dr. Christopher Potter in the latter end of 1645, had the grant of the Deanery of Worcester made unto him, having in the beginning of the grand Rebellion refused the Bishoprick of Bristow. But the principles of this reverend Doctor being wholly orthodox, he suffered therefore very much during the miserable condition which the Members of the Long Parliament had brought this Kingdom to, lost most, if not all, his Spiritualities, was seve∣ral times imprison'd, yet afterwards being at liberty he attended his Majesty in his disconsolate and afflicted condition at Hampton Court and in the Isle of Wight. At length, after he had seen him crown'd with Martyrdom, he surrendered up his pious soul to him that gave it on the 22 Aug. 1649. Whereupon his body was bu∣ried in the Church of S. Peter le poore in London; of which Church he had been Minister till the violence of the Presbyterians forced him thence, an. 1642. After his death were published some of his Works, viz. (1) Valley of vision in 21 Sermons.—printed 1651. qu. (2) Praelectiones Theologicae habitae in Collegio Greshamensi apud Londinenses. Lond. 1661. fol. which last book was published by Dr. Pearson his Nephew, who hath set an account of his life before that book.

Of these two, who were incorporated Masters again, I have made mention among the Incorporations, in an. 1612 and 1615.

Will. Isaacson M. A.—He was afterwards D. of D. Rector of S. Andrews Church in the Wardrobe in London, and of Wodford in Essex; but whether he hath published any thing, I know not. He was younger Brother to Henry Isaacson the Chronologer, sometimes Amanuensis to Dr. Andrews Bishop of Winchester, Son of Rich. Isaac∣son Sheriff elect of London, who died 19 Jan. 1620, and he the Son of Will. Isaacson of Sheffield in Yorkshire, by Isabel his first Wife. This Hen. Isaacson, by the way I must let the Reader know, was born in the Parish of S. Catherine Coleman in London, in Sept. 1581, but what Academical Education he received, I can∣not yet tell. Sure it is, that he arrived to great knowledge in Chronology, as his large book of that subject, doth sufficiently at∣test; and dying about the 7 of Decemb. 1654, was buried in the Church of S. Catherine Coleman before mention'd, having before been a considerable benefactor to the poor of that Parish.

Will. Beale M. A. of Pemb. Hall.—See among the Incorpora∣tions, an. 1645.

Dan. Horsmanden M. A.—He was afterwards D. of D. and Re∣ctor of Vlcomb in Kent, and accounted by his Contemporaries a learned man; but he being a zealous person for the Church of England, and a high Loyalist, was thrown out of his Living by the Committee of Religion, an. 1643, as you may see in the Pamph. en∣tit. The first century of scandalous, malignant priests, &c. p. 36, 37▪ He lost other Spiritualities, and suffer'd much for the Kings Cause during the time of the Rebellion.

Humphrey Henchman M. A.—This loyal and religious person who was Son of Tho. Henchman of London Skinner, and he the Son of another Thomas of Wellingborough in Northamptonshire, (in which Country his name and family had for several generations be∣fore lived) was afterwards D. of D. Chauntor of Salisbury, on the death of Hen. Cotton, in January 1622, and Preb. of South Gran∣tham in the same Church, an. 1628. After the Restauration of K. Ch. 2. he was nominated Bishop of that place, upon the transla∣tion of Dr. Duppa to Winchester. Whereupon being consecrated in the Chappel of K. Hen. 7. within the Abbey Church of S. Peter in Westminster 28 Oct. 1660, sate there three years, and then upon the translation of Dr. Sheldon to Canterbury, he was translated to London in Sept. 1663. About that time he was made Bishop Al∣moner, and died, as it seems, in the month of Octob. an. 1675. He was for his wisdom and prudence much valued by K. Ch. 2. whose happy escape from the battel at Worcester, this pious Prelate did admirably well manage, especially when his Majesty came in a disguise near Salisbury. He was born, as I have been informed, within the Parish of S. Giles Crippl••gate, London, and educated in Clare Hall in Cambridge, of which he was Fellow.

Arthur Jackson M. A.—Afterwards he was a frequent and pu∣ritanical Preacher, and sided with the Presbyterians when the Re∣bellion began, an. 1642. About which time he was Minister of S. Michael Woodstreet in London, where I find him in 1649. He hath written Expositions on various parts of the Scripture, as (1) An help for understanding the holy Scriptures, the first part, being an exposition upon the five books of Moses, viz. Gen. Levit. Numb. Deut. &c. Camb. 1643. qu. (2) Annotations on the remaining part of the Old Testament, viz. J••sh. Judges, Sam. Kings, Chron. Ezra, Nehem. Esthe••, the second part. (3) Annotations on the five poetical looks of holy Scripture, viz. Job, Psalms, Prov. Eccles. and Cant. Lond. 1658. Besides several other things, which for brevity sake I now omit. See more of him in Ch. Love among the Writers an. 1651.

The said Masters of Arts, viz. Th. Goad, Ben. Laney. R. Holds∣worth, Hen. Burton, Ab. Gibson, W. Isaason, W. Beale, Dan. Hors∣manden, H. Hen••hman, and A. Jackson were incorporated, as I have before told you, 15 July, as they had stood before at Cam∣bridge. Besides them were about 27 more incorporated, (of whom Sam Carter was one) but not one of them being then, or after, men of note, as I can yet find, are here omitted. On the same day also, one Rob. Newton M. A. of the Univ. of S. Andrew in Scot∣land, was incorporated, of whom I know no more.

Will. Wats M. A. of Cains Coll.—This admirable Critick and Divine, who was born near to Lyon in Norfolke, did after∣wards travel into several Countries and became Master of divers Languages. At his return he was made Chaplain to King Ch. the first, Doct. of Divinity, Minister of St. Albans in Woodstreet within the City of London, afterwards Chaplain under the Earl of Arundel General of the Forces in the Scotch expedition, an. 1639 and Pre∣bendary of Weils. But being sequestred from his Benefice in Lon∣don, plundred, and his Wife and Children turn'd out of doors, and himself forced to fly when that City was in the heighth of its re∣bellion 1642. he retired to His Majesty, served under Prince Rupert when his Majesty raised Forces in his own defence, and was pre∣sent with him in all the battels that he fought with the Parlia∣menteers, and many times when that Prince made his despe∣rate attempts on that Party. Upon the declining of the Kings cause, (a little before which time he was made Archdeacon and Residentiary of Wells, as I have been informed) he stuck to the said Prince when he served his Majesty on the Seas, upon the re∣volt of certain English Ships from the Parliament, and was with him when he was blocked up in the harbour at Kingsale in Ireland, where being overtaken with a distemper which no Physick could cure, surrended up his Soul to the Almighty, and was buried there in the latter end of the year 1649, as I was many years since in∣formed by his Widow, the Daughter of Mr….Vaughan Minister of Ashted in Surrey, Brother to Dr. Rich. Vaughan sometimes B. of London. This Dr. Wats, who is several times honorably mention'd by Vossius* 1.168 by the title of doctissimus and clarissimus Watsius, and qui optime de Historia meruit, &c. had an especial hand in Sir. Hen. Spe••••••ans Glossary; corrected, added considerable notes to, and published, Matthew Paris his Historia Major, an. 1640. He wrot also (1) The History of Gustavus Adolphus (2) Mortification Apo∣stolical, &c. Lond. 1637. wherein justifying the use of canonical hours, gave great offence to the Puritan.

Lond. 1631. in a thick oct. illustrated by him with certain margi∣nal notes; and from French into English The Catholick Moderator, which I have not yet seen. He also published the several numbers of News-books in the English tongue (more than 40) containing the occurrences done in the Wars between the King of Sweden and the German. All published before the Civil Wars of England began.

John Lynch M. A.—He was afterwards Chaplain to the Bishop of Salisbury, Parson of Herietsham in Kent and the writer and pub∣lisher of The Christian Passover, Serm. at St. Pauls, on Wednesday in Easter Week, 1637. on 1. Cor. 5. 7. S. Lond. 1637. qu. and perhaps of other things. Quaere.

Walter Balcanqual Bach. of Div. of Pembroke hall.—This learn∣ed Scot who was now Chaplain to His Majesty, becamea 1.169 Ma∣ster of the Hospital called the Savoy in the Strand near London on the 16. Dec. 1617, which place he giving up soon after, it was conferr'db 1.170 on Marc. Ant. de Dominis Archb. of Spalato (who came into England upon account of Religion 16. Dec. 1616.) on the 23. of April 1618. in which year the said Balcanqual was sent to the Synod of Dort to represent the Church of Scotland, and with him went Th. Goad of Cambridge in the place of Dr. Joseph Hal•• Dean of Worcester, indisposed. In Feb. 1621. the said Marc. Ant. being weary of the Kings favour and benevolence extended to him. left England; whereupon Balcan••ual was restored to the Sa∣voy again, and on the 12. March 1624. he was installed Dean of Rochester, (being then D of D.) in the place of Godfrey Go••dman promoted to the See of Glocester. In 1639 May 14, he was in∣stalled Dean of Durham in the place of Dr. Rich. Hunt, who had succeeded in that rich Dignity Sir Adam Newton Knight and Baronet a Lay-man. Soon after the grand rebellion breaking out, Balcan∣qual was forced from his Mastership of the Savoy, plundred, seque∣srred and forced to fly by the impetuous Presbyterians, an. 1642. so that retiring to His Majesty at Oxon, did afterwards shift from place to place for security. At length flying for the safety of his life to Chirk Castle in Denbighsh••e, died there in a very cold sea∣son, on the day of the Nativity of our Saviour, an. 1645. The next day his body was buried in the Parish Church of Chirk, and some years after had a noble monument set over his grave (the in∣scription on which was made by Dr. John Pearson) by a most wor∣thy Royalist named Sir Tho. Midd••eton of Chirk Castle, who dying in 1660 aged 79 was also buried in the said Church. In Jan. fol∣lowing (1645) Dr. Christoph. Potter Provost of Qu. Coll. in Oxon obtained of his Majesty the grant of the said Deanery of Durham, but he dying in the beginning of March following, without instal∣lation, his Maj. confer'd it upon Will. Fuller D. D. of Cambridge,

who dying in 1659 Dr. John Barwick of Camb. was installed in that Dignity 1. Nov. 1660.

Richard Emot of Brasn.

Emot sometimes Fellow of Brasn. Coll. and afterwards Vicar of Einsham near Oxon (where he died and was buried in Feb. 1584) lived mostly in the City of Wells, and had, as I conceive, some place in the Cathedral there. He hath made several compositions in Musick for voices and instruments, but whether any of them were ever made publick I cannot tell. One Richard Browne was admitted Vicar Choral and Organist of We••ls an. 1614. which place he keeping till 1619. one John Okever suc∣ceeded, and therefore, I presume the said Emot was never Orga∣nist of Wells in his own right.

27. Lambert Osbaldeston of Ch. Ch.—He was afterwards made Master of the College School at Westminster, in the place of Dr. John Wilson, and Prebendary of the tenth stall in the Church there, in the place of Dr. Christoph. Sutton deceased. By his in∣dustry he did improve his Scholars to as great eminency of learn∣ing, as any of his predecessors did: Insomuch that he had, as 'tis c 1.171 reported, above 80 Doctors in the three great faculties, in the two Universities, that did gratefully acknowledge their education under him, before the grand Rebellion broke out. But so it was, that he having been much favoured and patroniz'd by Dr. Williams Dean of Westm. and B. of Linc. did always stick close to, in his controversies had between, him and Dr. Laud Archb. of Canterbu∣ry, for which he suffered in some measure, especially after he had been found guilty of certain libellous passages in a letter written by him to the said Williams, wherein he stiles Laud, the little Vermin, the Vrchin and Hocus pocus. For which being called into question in the Star-chamber, and found guilty, he lost his Spiritualities, was fined 5000 l. and sentenced to have his ears tack'd to the Pillory in the presence of his Scholars. Which last sentence he avoided by a seasonable withdrawing himself from Westminster, an. 1638. Af∣terwards he was restored by the Long Parliament, and suffered for a time to keep his Prebendship, when all the rest of the Prebenda∣ries were turn'd out. But then seeing what mad courses the mem∣bers of the said Parliament took, favoured His Majesties cause, and in some measure suffered for it, lived retiredly during the interval, and dying in the beginning of Octob. 1659 was buried on the 7 of the said month, in the large South isle of St. Peters Church in Westm. He was a learned Man, but whether he hath published any book or books, I know not, nor any thing else of him, only that he was the Son of Lambert Osbaldeston of the Parish of St. O∣laves in Southwark near London, who died an. 1622.

June 5. Rob. Grebby of New Coll.—This Person who was a Lincolnshire Man born, was one of the Chaplains of the said Coll. and afterwards, as it became a true Scholar, spent all his time in reading and writing, especially in Divinity and Philosophy, in which last he was a great Sceptick. He wrot much in both, and had his labours perused by his learned acquaintance, yet none of them, tho thought fit, were ever published. I find it reported by a cer∣tain Author* 1.172 that one Master Silo (whom Mr. Odo de Ceriton or Seryton, who lived in 1181, stileth† 1.173 Serlo) a Master of the University of Paris and Professor of Logick, had a Scholar there, with whom he was very familiar: Which Scholar being excellent in the art of Sophistry, spared not all occasions, whether on festival, or other, days, to study and improve it. This Sophister being very sick, and almost brought to deaths door, Mr. Silo earnestly desired him, that after his death, he would return to, and give, him in∣formation concerning his state, and how it fared with him. The Sophister dying, he returned soon after with his hood stuff'd with notes of Sophistry, and the inside loyned with flaming fire, and told him, that that was the reward which he had bestowed upon him for the renown that he had before obtained for his Sophistry. But Mr. Salo esteeming it a small punishment, he stretched out his hand towards him, on which a drop or spark of fire falling, 'twas pierced through with terrible pain. This passage the Defunct or Ghost beholding, told him with a faint voice, that he need not be amazed at that small matter, for he was burning in that manner all over. Is it so? saith Silo; then in very truth I know what I have to do. Whereupon resolving to leave the World, and enter him∣self into Religion, called his Scholars about him, and took his leave of, and dismiss'd, them with these metres.

Linquo coaxd 1.174 ranis, crase 1.175 va••••quef 1.176 vanis, Ad Logicam pergo, que mortis non timetg 1.177 ergo. Sed quorsum haec?

you'll say, or to what end do you tell this old story? Then give me leave to make answer thus. This Mr. Grebby having been always dubious of the immortality of the Soul of Man, did some years before his death, make a contract with two of his acquaintance of the same mind, that he that died first of the three, should make known to either of the other two, his then state or being. Grebby therefore dying first, his resemblance shortly af∣ter appeared in the night time in the Chamber of Joh. Good Bach.

of Div. and Fellow of Ball. Coll. (commonly called Tutor Good) who was one of the other two that had made the contract; and opening his curtains, said to him with a trembling and faint voice,

Sors tua mortalis, non est mortale quod opto.

Afterwards the resemblance vanished, and was, tho much wish'd for again, seen no more. At the same time the other Person, who was sometimes Chaplain of New Coll. but then living at his Bene∣fice near Oxon, had a dream that the said resemblance did appear to Good, and that the doubt seem'd to be resolved, which I have heard him several times very confidently report; yet he being a reputed Banterer, I could never believe him in that, or any thing else. 'Tis true that Good who was a Scholastical, retired and melan∣choly Man would sometimes tell these passages, but with great shinels, unless to his Philosophical acquaintance; most of whom seemed to be well satisfied with, and some to believe, them. This Mr. Grebby (commonly called Father Grebby) who had read and written so much, till he was almost blind, yet always cheerful and in a contented condition, died in 1654 (in the spring time I think) aged 60 or more, and was buried in the North Cloister of New Coll. near to the door leading into the tower, and the monumen∣tal inscription of Pet. Woodgate. At which time being present a considerable number of his Philosophical acquaintance, (for he u∣sually delighted in such, tho never so young or mean,) was an elo∣quent oration delivered from a Pew set near to his grave, by Rob. Mathew LL. B. (afterwards Doctor) a great admiter of the learn∣ing and virtues, of him the said Grebby. From this digression, which many will laugh at, let's proceed to the rest of the admis∣sions.

June 9. Bruno Ryves of Magd. Coll.

21. Will. Price of Ch. Ch.—He was afterwards the first moral Philosophy Reader after the Lecture had been founded by Dr. Tho.

'Tis at the end of a book of verses intit. Schola Moralis Philosophiae Oxon in funere Whiti pullata; mostly made by the Students of Magd. hall, of which house Dr. White was originally a member. Another Will. Price I find who was Bach. of Div. and a publisher of certain Sermons and Divinity tracts, in the time of K. Jam. 1. and Char. 1. but whether he was of this University, I cannot yet tell.

Doct. of Div.

May 12. Rich Parker of S. Maries hall.

June 15. John Wilson of Ch. Ch. who accumulated—This Per∣son who was born in the City of Westminster, was about this time Master of the College School there, having a faculty more than or∣dinary in instructing youth. In Octob. 1623 he was installed Canon or Preb. of the third stall in the Church of Weston. in the place of Dr. John Fox, who in the year 1606 had succeeded one Percival Wyburne a Nonconformist, after he had enjoyed the said stall 44 years, without seldom or never wearing a hood and surplice. Af∣terwards Dr. Wilson became Prebendary of Rippon, and Dean there∣of, (in the place of Anth. Higgins Bach. of Divinity) Prebendary of Lincoln, Vicar of Burston, and Rector of Bedall in Yorkshire. He died on the 19 Feb. 1634, and was buried in the Church of S. Peter in Nottingham. One of both his names (Job. Wilson) was a Preacher of the word at Guilford in Surrey and wrot Some helps to faith shew∣ing the necessity, &c. Lond. 1625. oct. and another (perhaps the same) who published Zaccheus converted, Serm. or Expos. on 19 Luk. from ver. 1. to 10. Lond. 1631. oct. besides several other things. Whether he was of this University, I cannot yet tell.

D. which Dignity he resigning, Hen. Wickham M. A. was collated thereunto, 20. Mar. 1623. On the 19. Mar. 1623 the said Hook was collated to the Chantorship of York, on the death of Dr. Jo. Favour; in which Dignity he had for his successor Richard Palmer Bach. of Div. ad∣mitted thereunto 23. Apr. 1624, and he (who dyed on the place) George Stanhop D. D. in the beginning of Nov. 1631.

Incorporations.

Many Cambridge Men were incorporated on the 13. of July, being the day after the conclusion of the Act, of which these fol∣lowing were some.

Andrew Agar Bach. of Law.

Theophilus Wodenote M. A.—He was born at Lank••nhorne about 6 miles distant from Launceston in Cornwall, being the Son of Thom. W••denote descended from an antient Family in Cheshire; educated in Grammaticals in Eaton School near Windsore, in Academicals in Kings Coll. in Cambridge, of which he became Scholar 1608. Af∣terwards he was M. of A. Bach. of Divinity, Rector of Lanken∣horne beforementioned, (after the decease of his Father, who also had been Fellow of the said Coll.) and a writer of several books; among which are these (1) Observations upon the history of Nabal and Abigail, 1. Sam. 25.—printed 1623. Oct. (2) Good thoughts in bad times. 'Tis a manual, and 'twas written at Broad Chalke in Wi••ts. while he absconded in the house of a near relation of his, (Vicar of that place) being then obnoxious to arrests. (3) Her∣mes Theologus: or, a divine Mercury, new descants upon old records. Lond. 1649. in tw. (4) Eremicus Theologus: Or, a sequestred Di∣vine his aphocismes: or, breviats of speculation, in two centuries. Lond. 1654. oct. &c. When he died, or where he was buried, I know not; nor any thing to the contrary but that he did live to be restored in 1660 to what he had lost for his loyalty during the time of the grand rebellion.

Robert Sibthorpe M. A.—He was afterwards Bishop of Kilfenore in Ireland, and at length of Limerick, an. 1642. He died in Apr. 1649, and was buried in the Parish Church of St. Werburge in Dublin.

Granado Chester M. A.—He was afterwards D. D. and dignifi∣ed in the Church.

Edward Davenant M. A.—In Feb. 1623 he was collated to the Prebendship of I••fracomb in the Church of Salisbury, and upon the death of Lienel Sharp, to the Archdeaconry of Berkshire. In 1634 Nov. 19. he was collated to the Treasureship of the Church of Salisbury. upon the death of Job. Lee, which he kept to the time of his death 12. of March 1679. Afterwards succeeded Dr. Tho. James as I shall tell you in the next volume.

Richard H••nt. M. A.—One of both his names was installed Dean of Durham, in the place of Sir Adam Newton Knight and Baronet, 29. May 1620. Whether the same with him, who was incorpora∣ted M. of A. is doubtful.

Gilb. W••mberley M. A.—I have made mention of him before.

Which seven Persons were, I say, incorporated 13. July.

Dec. 1. Patrick Saunders Doct. of Phys. of the University of Franek••r in Westfriesen—He afterwards practised his faculty in the Parish of Great St. Hellens in London, where he died about 1637.

A proposal was made much about the Act time for one Thomas Bateson Bach. of Musick, to be incorporated, but whether he, was really so or no, I cannot tell. In the beginning of the Reign of K. Ja••. 1. I find him Organist of the Cath. Church of Christ in the City of Chester, and now (1619) Organist and Master of the Children of the Cathedral Church of the blessed Trinity called Christ Church in Dublin; where, as I suppose he took the Degree of Bach. of Musick. He was a Person esteemed very eminent in his profession, especially after he had published The first and second part of English Madrigales to 3. 4. 5. and 6. voices. The first part was printed at Lond. 1604, and the second there, 1618, both in qu. One 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Jewit Bach. of Musick of Dublin, who had been bred up under Orlando Gibbons, did succeed him in the Organists place of Ch. Ch. who enjoying it but a little while. Ben. Rogers of 〈◊〉〈◊〉 succeeded him, 1639. Soon after the rebellion breaking out in Ireland, Jewit went into England, and was made Organist of Winchester, where he lived in good esteem for his skill in his profession, and soon after died.

Coll. before he was Ma∣ster of Arts, and crossing the Seas became a Priest in the Church of Rome, and at present (1661) he is said to be the chief favourite of the Pope, and in likelyhood to be the next Cardinal, as a Writerx 1.178 of no great credit tells us, who calls him Elias Farley.

Besides him, were two more admitted, who will be mention'd among the Do∣ctors this year, two also admitted to practice Physick, and two Chirurgery, of wh••m one was called Jacob Van Otten, the same I suppose with Jac. Otten who was a Student in Physick in this University, for the sake of the publick Library an. 1604 and after.

Bach. of Div.

• May 11. Nathan. Carpenter of Exet.
• June 2. Christop. Wrenn of St. Johns
  • Coll.

This last Person who was younger Brother to Dr. Matthew Wrenn Bishop of Ely, was afterwards made domestick Chaplain in the Kings Family, Dean of Windsore, (in which Dignity he was installed 4. April 1635.) and on the 22. of the said month he was constituted and sworn Scribe or Registrary of the most noble order of the Garter. About that time he was made Dean of Wolverhampton in Staffordshire, and in Novemb. 1638, he was pre∣sented to the rich Rectory of Haseley in Oxfordshire, but whether he took the Degree of Doctor of Divinity in this University, it appears not. He died at Blechingdon in the said County, in the house of Mr. William Holder Rector thereof (who had married his Daughter) 29. May 1658. and was buried in the Chancel of the Church there. Dr. Edward Hyde of Cambridge succeeded him in the Deanery of Windsore, but died before His Majesties restau∣ration, as I have told you elsewhere.

June 28. John Conant lately Fellow of Exeter Coll. now Re∣ctor of Limington in Somersetshire.—He was afterwards one of the Assembly of Divines and the writer and publisher of The woe and weal of Gods People: Fast Sermon before the House of Com∣mons 26. Jul. 1643. on Jer. 30. 7. Lond. 1643. qu. and of ano∣ther on Lament. 3. 31. 32. printed the same year in qu. but this last I have not yet seen or any thing else of his extant.

July 18. Caesar Calendrinus of Exet. Coll.—He was by birth a German, by profession a puritanical Theologist, and being a learned Man, was beloved of the famous Dr. Vsher, who took him with him into Ireland, and there, as 'tis said, prefer'd him. In my searches I find one Caesar Calendrinus of the Parish of St. Peter Le poor in London; who dying there in 1665, left behind him a Son named John: But whether this Caes. Cal. be the same with the for∣mer, who was Bach. of Div. I cannot tell. I find also one Caesar Cald••rinus to be Author of Dictionariolum sive Thesauri linguae la∣tinae, & omnium à vocibus latinis incipientium Dictionariorum com∣pendium, &c. Venet. 1649. oct. but this Person must not be taken for the same with C. Calendrinus, because their names differ, and that the last was born in the territory of Verona.

19. Christoph. White of Ch. Ch.

March 9. Christoph. Potter of Qu. Coll.

Admitted 20.

☞ Not one Doctor of Law was admitted this year.

Doct. of Phys.

Incorporations.

May 28. Thomas Rhead (Rhaedus) M. of A. of Aberdene in Scot∣land.—He had before been a Student in this University, and this year published Paraphrisis Psalma 104. Lond. 1620. in oct. and about the same time, as it should seem, Epist. ad Episcopum Roffensem in oct.

Alex. Rhead M. of A. of the same University was incorporated the same day.—One Alex. Rhead was Proctor of the University of Cambr. four years before this time, whom I take to be the same Person who was afterwards Minister of Yeatley in Hampshire, where he died about 1628. I shall make mention of another of both his names among the Creations following.

June 6. Festus Hommius D. D. of the University of Leyden was incorporated in that Degree. in a meeting called Simile primo, or Assimilatio parva, held at six of the Clock in the morning, Hom∣mius then having on his legs a green pair of stockings, and a habit not altogether proper for his profession. He was at this time a Divine of great note in the Low Countries, and had lately been Scribe at the Synod of Dort. The occasion of his coming into England, with the Catalogue of the books he wrot, John Meursius will* 1.179 tell you. He was born at Hielsem in the territory of Leen∣werden in Westfriesen, and dying 5. July 1642 aged 66 years and six months, was buried at Leyden in the Church of St. Peter, (as I conceive) having been Past••r of that Church forty, and Rector of the College there twenty years.

June 26. Peter Chamberlayne Doct. of Phys. of the University of Padua.—He hath written (1) The poor mans Advocate: or Eng∣lands Samaritan, &c. Lond. 1649. qu. (2) Vindication of publick artificial Bathes, and other things; and from his Papers was pub∣lished The accomplished Midwife, &c. printed with cuts in 1673. in oct. Afterwards it was inlarged by others and several times published. One Tho. Chamberlaine who was called and written Doct. of Phys. did practise his faculty in the Parish of St. Gregory in London, and died, as I think, in Mark-lane 1666, but whether he was ever of the Univ. of Oxon. I cannot yet tell.

• Jul. 7.
  • Henry Briggs M. A.
  • John Bainbridge Doct. of Phys.
    • of Cambr.

Of the first I have spoken largely among the Writers, under the year 1630, and of the other I shall (God willing) make mention in the 2. Vol. of this work.

July 11. Will. Jackson M. A. of the same University.—Perhaps he may be the same Will. Jackson, who was now Term-Lecturer at Whittington Coll. in London, and who before had published The Ce∣lestial husbandry: or, the tillage of the Soul, Serm. at Pauls Cross 25. Feb. 1615, on Osea 10. 12. Lond. 1616. qu.

Thomas Whitfield M. of A. of the said University, was incor∣porated on the same day.—I take this Person to be the same Tho. Whitfield who was afterwards Minister of Great Yarmouth in Nor∣folke, Author of (1) (A refutation of the loose opinions and licentious tenets, wherewith those Lay-preachers which wander up and down the kingdom, labour to seduce the simple People. Or, an Examination

of the erroneous Doctrines of Thomas More late a Weaver in Wells near Wisbich in his book [The Universality of Gods free grace to mankind] Lond. 1646. qu. (2) Full answer to the Arminian te∣nets concerning election, redemption, conversion and perseverance. printed there the same year. (3) Discourse of the Liberty of con∣science, &c. Lond. 1649. qu. (4) The righteous mans rejoycing. Or, a treatise tending to shew the nature of true joy, whence it ariseth, and to whom it belongs, &c. Lond. 1649. in tw. (5) Extent of di∣vine providence, &c. print. 1651. qu. (6) Doctrines of Arminia∣nisme and Pelagianisme stated. Print. 1652. qu. (7) Perswasive to peace amongst the sons of peace, &c. pr. 1655. in tw. and other things. This Thomas Whitfield being a Person that ran with the times of the interval, removed to the rectory of Bugbrook in Nor∣thamptonshire, where a neighbour of his named Tho. Pierce ani∣madverted upon one or more of his books, as I shall hereafter tell you. He had a Son named John Whitfield M. A. and sometimes Fellow of Jesus Coll. in Cambridge, afterwards Rector of Bugbrook beforementioned, and a publisher of one or more Sermons. I find one Thomas Whitfield admitted Bach. of Arts, as a member of Magd. hall 4. May 1631, and another of Hart hall 9. February the same year, but what relation they had to the former Thomas, I know not.

July 11. John Johnson D. D. of Cambr.—One of both his names and D. of D. also, was admitted Archdeacon of Worcester 24. Nov. 1598. in the place of Godf. Goldsborough promoted to the See of Glocester. Which Archdeaconry the said Johnson resigned an. 1610. Qu. whether the same.

July 12. Rich. Evans D. D. of the University of St. Andrew of Scotland.

Creations.

May 18. Thom. Grent of New Coll. was actually created Doctor of Phys.—He was afterwards famous for the making of artificial Bathes, and discovering those that were natural, but wanted mo∣ney to make them fit for use.

29. Alexander Rhead or Read (Reidus) a Scotch Man was actu∣ally created Doctor of Phys. in the house of Convocation by vir∣tue of the Letters from K. James 1. for that purpose—This learn∣ed Scot who was afterwards one of the Coll. of Physitians in London, and a Brother of the Company of Barber-chirurgions, hath writ∣ten and published (1) A description of the body of Man by artificial figures, representing the members, &c. Lond. 1616. oct. (2) Chi∣rurgical Lectures of tumours and ulcers. Lond. 1635. qu. (3) Trea∣tise of the first part of Chirurgery, which teacheth re-unition of the parts of the body disjoynted. Lond. 1638. qu. (4) Treatise of the muscles of the body of Man. Lond. 1637. qu. All which, except the first, were reprinted in 1650. qu. the Author being then dead, af∣ter he had practised his faculty about 50 years. (5) The manual of Anatomy; or, the dissection of the body of Man. &c. in 6. books— Lond. 1638. in tw. I think it is the same which some call his Epitome of Crookes Anatomy. (6) Approved Medicines and Remedies for the diseases of the body of Man. when printed I know not. In his last Will he bequeathed 200 l. to the Marischal College in Aberdene, in which house, I presume, he had been educated, and all his books to the Library there.

Nov. 4. A young Man named Will. Moyle, the eldest Son of an Esquire was created M. of A▪ in Convocation—He was then sent to the chief members of this University by Francis Viscount Ve∣rulam with his learned book (Instauratio magna, I think) to be presented from the Authors to the publick Library.

In the month of September this year came into England the fa∣mous Theologist named Daniel Tilenus, and published at Lon∣don his Paraenesis ad Scotos Genevensis disciplinae Zelotas. He set∣tled in Oxon for a time for the sake of the publick Library, but whether he was incorporated in any Degree, or created (which some have avouched) it appears not in the publick re∣gister.

He hath written and published Oratio in memoriam clariss. viri Gul. Camdeni, Lecturae Historicae apud Oxonienses fundatoris, &c. Oxon. 1624. qu. set before a book of Lat. Verses intit. Camdeni Insignia. What else he hath published I know not, nor any thing besides, that is me∣morable of him, only that he was several times Deputy-Orator of this University.

Jun. 21. Tho. Tyro of S. Edm. Hall.—One of both his names was a boon and jolly Blade in the time of Qu. Elizab. as it appears by his Roaring Megg planted against the walls of melancholy.

This Dr. Honyword died about 12 Sept. 1681, and was, as I suppose, buried in the Cathedral there. Whereupon Dr. Dan Brevint su••ceeded him in his Dignity.

Will. Brough M. A. of Christs Coll.—I shall speak at large of him among the Incorporations of Doctors of Div. an. 1645.

Christopher Dow M. of A.—He was afterwards Bach. and Doct. of Div. much favoured by Dr. Laud Archb. of Canterbury, (whose Creature and Champion he was) and by him promoted to several ecclesiastical Benefices. He hath written (1) A discourse of the Sabbath and Lords day, wherein &c. Lond. 1636. qu. second Edit. (2) Innovations unjustly charged upon the present Church and State, or an answer to the most material passages made by Mr. Hen. Burton in his book entit. An Apology of an Appeal, &c. Lond. 1637. qu. with other things very offensive to the Puritan, who held the Author to be a rank Arminian.

George Walker Bach. of Div.—This learned person was born at Hawkeshead in Fournifalls in Lancashire, educated in S. Joh. Coll. in the said Univ. of Cambr. where he was esteemed an excellent Logician, Orientalian and Divine. He was about this time Chap∣lain to Dr. Felton Bishop of Ely, and Minister of S. John the Evan∣gelist in Watlingstreet in London, where he was ready upon all oc∣casions to encounter with any learned Cath. Priest. On the last of May 1623, was a set and solemn disputation between him and one that went by the name of Smith; at which being present a great Auditory, it was published for the satisfaction of both parties, with this Title, The sum of a disputation between Mr. Walker Pastor of S. Joh. the Evang. &c. and a popish priest calling himself Mr. Smith but indeed Norris. printed 1623. qu. Which Norris was a D. of D. and a publisher of several little popish Pamphlets about the same time. In the year following he the said Walker had to do with Fath. Joh. Fisher the Jesuit, as being Dr. Dan. Featley's second, and thereupon published Fishers folly unfolded; or, the vaunting Jesuits challenge answered. Lond. 1624. Afterwards when our Author Walker, who was a severe Puritan, beheld the profanation of the Lords day, he preached against it, and other Practices and Opi∣nions, which procured him trouble, and two years imprisonment, as 'tis said. After the Long Parliament began, he preached against the King and his Followers, and published several things, which before he was not permitted to do, among which were (1) Socini∣anism in the fundamental point of justification discovered and confu∣ted, &c. Lond. 1641. oct. (2) The doctrine of the holy weekly sab∣bath, &c. Lond. 1641. &c. In the year 1643▪ he was chosen one of the Assembly of Divines, preached sometimes before the Mem∣bers of Parliament, and had his Sermons made publick, one of which is ent. Fast-sermon before the House of Common•• 9 Jan. 1644, on Psalm 58. 9. Lond. 1645. qu. He hath also other things ex∣tant, as, God made visible in all his works, &c. pr. 1641. qu. &c. which for brevity sake I now pass by, and only tell you, that he died in 1651, aged about 70, and was buried in his Church of S. John before mention'd.

Edw. Martin Bach. of Div.—He was afterwards Doctor of that Faculty, domestick Chaplain to Archb. Laud, and Rector of Houghton Conquest in Bedfordshire, and of Dunnington in Cambridg∣shire; but being a zealous man for the Church of England, was turned out of those livings by the Committee of Religion, as you may largely see in that infamous libel ent. The first Century of scan∣dalous malignant Priests, &c. p. 41. He lost other spiritualities, and suffer'd much for the Kings Cause, notwithstanding he was a god∣ly and learned man. All that seems bad of him, you may see in Canterburies Doom, published by Will. Prynne, an inveterate ene∣my to Prelacy, good order in the Church, Arminianism, or any thing that look'd that way.

Foulk Robarts Bach. of Div.—In Feb. 1616 he became Proben∣dary of Norwich on the death of Hugh Castleton, which he held to the time of his death in the interval or broken times. He hath written (1) The revenew of the Gospel is tithes due to Ministery of the word, by that word in Tim. 1. 5. 18. Cambr. 1613. qu. (2) Gods holy house and service described according to the primitive form thereof. Lond. 1639. qu. and other things as 'tis probable. In 1660, Aug. 21. one George Kent M. of A. was installed Prebendary of Norwych in the place of the said Foulk Robarts, who had been dead some years before.

Samuel Broke or Brooke D. D. and about this time Master of Tri∣nity Coll.—He was afterwards Archd. of Coventry, and wrot an Arminian Treatise of predestination, which he communicated to Dr. Laud Bishop of London, an. 1630, (so saith Prynne in Canterburies * 1.180 Doom) and about the 16 of Sept. in the year following, he departed this mortal life. He had an ingenious Brother named Christop. Brooke, a Yorkshire man born, who after he had left the University (whether this, or Cambridge, I cannot yet tell, notwith∣standing several of his Sirname and time have studied in Vniversity

Coll.) he setled in Lincolns Inn, purposely to advance himself in the municipal Law, where he became known to, and admired by, Joh. Selden, Ben. Johnson, Mich. Drayton, Will. Browne, George Wi∣thers and Joh. Davies of Hereford, especially after he had published An Elegy consecrated to the never dying memory of Henry Prince of Wales. Lond. 1613. qu. In the year following, he being then a Bencher, was elected Summer Reader of his House, became a Be∣nefactor to the Chappel there, and wrot another book ent. Eglogues; dedicated to his much loved friend Mr. Will. Browne of the Inner Tem∣ple. Lond. 1614. oct. He hath also Verses put before the first part of Britannia's pastorals, pen'd by the said Browne, also before a poetical piece called The legend of Great Cromwell, written by Mich. Drayton. and had a considerable hand in dishing out The Odcom∣bian Banquet, an. 1611. Later in time than the former (give me leave to divert my self) I find another Christop. Brooke who married a daughter of the famous Mathematician Will. Oughtred, having been by him before initiated in Mathematicks. Afterwards he became a maker and framer of mathematical Instruments, and the publisher of (1) A new Quadrant of more natural, easie, and mani∣fold performance, than any one heretofore extant. pr. in 1649, in 2 sheets in oct. having been the invention of Oughtred. (2) The so∣lution of all sphaerical Triangles, b••th right and oblique, by the plani∣sphaere, &c. Oxon. 1651. oct. This Chr. Brooke being known to the ingenious and learned Dr. Joh. Wilkins Warden of Wadham Coll. had a Servants place of that House worth 30 l. per an. con∣fer'd upon him by that Doctor purposely to encourage his Inge∣nuity. What else he hath published I know not, nor any thing of him besides, only that dying in his house near Wadham Coll. was buried in the Cloyster belonging thereunto, situated and being between the Chappel and the Library, an. 1665.

Edward Kellet D. D. of Kings Coll.—See before, among the Incorporations an. 1616. where you'll find the Titles of some of the books that he hath published.

All which Cantabrigians, were, I say, incorporated on the 10 of July.

Aug. 30. Andrew Rivet D. D. of the University of Leyden in Hol∣land, was solemnly incorporated in that degree, and taken into the bolom of the University, in a Convocation then held: at which time he gave several Books to the University Library.—This Rivet who received his first breath at St. Maixent in the Province of Poictou, was a learned and godly Divine, hath very well ex∣pounded Genesis, the Prophetical Psames and Hosea; and hath writ∣ten learnedly against the Papists in his Catholicus Orthodoxus, and against Grotius. He is stiled by a learned* 1.181 Author Vir clarissi∣mus, & nunquam satis laudatus, Gallicae Belgicaeque ecclesiae mican∣tissimum lumen, &c. The Titles of most of his books are in Oxford or Bodlies Catalogue. See more of him in Athenae Batavae, writ∣ten by John Meursius, lib. 2. p. 320.

Creations.

Aug. 1. Joh. Keeling a Counsellour of the Inner Temple, and a person well read in the municipal Laws of England, was then actu∣ally created M. of A. in the house of Convocation. Whether he was the same with John Keeling a Staffordshire man, who was ma∣triculated as a Member of Brasn. Coll. an. 1593 aged 17, I know not. One of both his names was after the Restauration of King Ch. 2. made 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Knight, one of the Justices of the Common Pleas, and at length L. Chief Justice. He died in the beginning of the year 1671.

Nov. 24. Richard Wats of Oriel, stiled in the common Register Vir omni humana literatura & bonarum artium cognitione feliciter in∣structus, was actually created M. of Arts.—He was entred in the publick Library as a Student in the municipal Laws.

Feb….. James Baylie a Scot, now of Exeter Coll. who 14 years before this time was made M. of A. of the University of Glascow, and 8 years since, Bachelaur of the Laws of the University of An∣jou in France (where he performed not only his exercise for that degree, but also for the degree of Doctor of that Faculty) was actually created Doctor of the Laws of this University, Dr. Zouch the Kings Professor of that Faculty then executing his office in the solemnity.—He was now Tutor to James Earl of Arran a Noble man of Exet. Coll. afterwards Duke of Hamilton. I find one James Bail••ie M. of A. and a Scot born, to have published Spiritual Marriage; or, the Vnion between Christ and his Church, Serm. at Westminster on Hosea. 2. 19. Lond. 1627. qu. But his name being written different from the former, I cannot say he had any rela∣tion to him.

Baldwinus Hamaeus a learned German, was admitted a Student into the publick Library.—See among the Incorporations an. 1629. So also was Tho. Gardiner of the Inner Temple Esq; afterwards Recorder of London, a Knight, his Majesties Sollicitor General, and eminent for his knowledge in the Municipal Law. He died in Octob. 1652, and was buried, as I conceive, in the Church at Cudes∣d••n near Oxford, in which Town he had an Estate. Qu.

All these will be largely mention'd elsewhere.

Adm. 257, or thereabouts.

Doct. of Musick.

May 17. Will. Heather or Heyther, who accumulated the degrees in Musick.—This person who was born at Harmsworth in Mid∣dlesex, near Colebrook in Bucks▪ was now one of the Gentlemen be∣longing to his Majesties Chappel, and so great an encourager of his Faculty, that soon after he founded the Musick Lectures (The∣ory and practick) in this University, as I have† 1.182 elsewhere told you. He died in the latter end of July 1627, and was buried on the first of Aug. in the broad or south Isle joyning to the Choir of S. Peter's Church in Westminster. See more of him in Nath. Giles following.

Jul. 5. Nathaniel Giles Bach. of Musick, was then licensed to proceed in that Faculty.—In 1607 he supplicated the venerable Congregation of Regents to be admitted Doctor; which desire of his was granted conditionally that he compose a choral Hymn of 8 parts to be publickly sung in the Act wherein he should proceed; but for what reason he did not perform that obligation, I cannot justly say. Sure I am, that in the Act this year, wherein he pro∣ceeded, were certain Questions appointed to be discussed between him and Dr. Heather before mention'd, which being pro forma on∣ly, and not customarily to be done, were omitted. The Questi∣ons were (1) Whether discords may be allowed in musick? Affirm. (2) Whether any artificial Instrument can so fully and truly express musick as the natural Voice? Negat. (3) Whether the practick be the more useful part of musick or the theory? Affirm. This Dr. Giles who was noted as well for his religious life and conversation (a ra∣rity in Musitians) as for the excellency of his Faculty, was born in, or near to, the City of Worcester, was one of the Organists of S. George's Chap. at Windsore and Master of the Boys there; after∣wards one of the Organists of the Chappel Royal to K. Ch. 1. and Master of the Boys thereof, was famous for his compositions of Divine Hymns and Anthems; the words of some of which, are re∣mitted into a Book entit. Divine Services and Anthems sung in the Cathedrals and collegiate Choires in the Church of England, published by Jam. Clifford an. 1663, oct. He the said Dr. Giles died about the year 1635, and was buried in one of the Isles joyning to S. George's Chap. before mention'd.

On the 17 of May Orlando Gibbons one of the Organists of his Majesties Chappel, did supplicate ••••e venerable Congregation that he might accumulate the degrees in Musick; but whether he was admitted to the one, or licensed to proceed in the other, it appears not. However the Song of 6 parts or more, which was performed in the Act for Will. Heather, was composed by him, as one or more eminent Musitians then living have several times told me. This Orlando who was accounted one of the rarest Musitians and Orga∣nists of his time, hath extant A set of Madrigals of five parts for voices and viols, had also a hand in Parthenia, mention'd before, under the year 1592, and composed Several divine Services and Anthems; the words of which are in Jam. Clifford's Book before mention'd, besides admirable Compositions that are printed in se∣veral Books of Musick. At length being commanded to Canter∣bury to attend the solemnity of the Nuptials between K. Ch. 1. and Henrietta Maria a Daughter of the King of France (in order to which he had made vocal and instrumental Compositions) died there of the Small-pox to the great reluctancy of the Court, on the day of Pentecost, an. 1625. Afterwards was a monument ere∣cted over his grave in the body of the Cathedral there, with an In∣scription thereon, beginning thus: Orlando Gibbonio Cantabrigiae inter musas & musicae nato, sacrae R. Capellae Organistae, sphaerarumque harmoniae digitorum pulsu aemulo, cantionum complurium quaeque dum non canunt minus quam canuntur c••nditori, &c. From which monu∣ment, set up at the charge of Elizabeth his Widow, who gave in∣structions what to be inscrib'd thereon, but not the time of his age, we are given to understand that the said Orlando Gibbons was born at Cambridge, yet the Reader is to know that one Orlando Gibbons was baptized in S. Martins Parish in the City of Oxford 25 Decemb. 1583, which some have been pleased to take to be the same that was afterwards the famous Organist; who, as those that knew him have told me, was not quite 45 years of age when he died.

But to let these scruples pass, as also another Orlando Gibbons M. A. of Cambridge, who was incorporated at Oxon an. 1607, I shall go forward.

A. he became Vicar of Claynes in the Bishop of Worcester's gift, and Re∣ctor of Speechley, both near to the said City. He hath published A Sermon preached in the Cathedral Church of Worcester, in the time of the pestilence, on 1 Kings. 8. ver. 37, 38, 39. Oxon 1637. oct. and hath written others fit for the press, which go from hand to hand to this day. He died at Speechley about 1654, and was buried in the Church there.

Joh. Biddle of Ball. Coll. was adm. on the said 4 of July; but whether he ever took the degree of Bach. of Arts in this University it doth not appear in the publick Register.—I set this J. Biddle down here, to distinguish him from another of both his names, (a grand Socinian and Arrian) whom I shall at large mention in the second Vol. but whether he hath published any thing I cannot yet tell. One John Beadle M. of A. Minister sometimes of Barnstone in Essex, wrot The Journal or Diary of a thankful Christian, presented in some Meditations upon Numb. 33. v. 2. Lond. 1656, oct. Which Author, I presume, was of Cambridge. See more of him in an Epist. to the Reader before the said Journal, written by Joh. Fuller Mi∣nister of S.

Bird hath written The magazine of honour: or, a treatise of the several degrees of the Nobility of this Kingdom, &c. which was afterwards perused and enlarged by Sir John Doderidge, as I have in him told you before, among the Wri∣ters. But what relation this Will. Bird had to the former, I know not.

Incorporations.

On the 9 of July, being the day after the conclusion of the Act, were these Cantabrigians following incorporated, being part of the number of about 24 that were taken into the bosom of this Uni∣versity.

Charles Lord Stanhope of Harington M. of Arts.

Timothy Thurscross M. A.—Afterwards being Bach. of Div. he was installed Archdeacon of Clievland in the place of Hen. Thurscross resigning, 16. Nov. 1635. And afterwards resigning that dignity, Joh. Neile Bach. of Div. was installed therein 27 Oct. 1638, I mean the same Neile who was made Dean of Rippon in the place of Dr. Joh. Wilkins promoted to the See of Chester One Tim. Thurs∣cross D. D. died in the Parish of S. Sepulcher in Lond. in Novemb. or thereabouts, 1671, which perhaps may be the same with the for∣mer. Quaere.

Thom. Aylesbury M. of A.—See among the Incorporations 1626.

Will. Fenner M. A. of Pembroke Hall.—He was afterwards Bach. of Div. and exercised his Ministry for a time in Staffordshire. At length upon the invitation of the Earl of Warwick, he became Rector of Rochford in Essex, where he was much admired and fre∣quented by the puritannical party. He gave way to fate in 1640 or thereabouts, aged 40, and had several theological Tracts of his

writing published after his death by Tho. Hill, (whom I shall anon mention) the Titles of most of which you may see in Oxford Cata∣logue, but more in that publised by Will. London a Bookseller, an. 1658.

Thom. Hill M. A. of Eman. Coll.—He was afterwards Rector of Tychmersh in Northamptonshire, one of the Assembly of Divines, a frequent Preacher before the Long Parliament, Master of Trin. Coll. in Cambridge in the place of Dr. Tho. Comber ejected, and Vice∣chancellour of the said University. He hath published several Ser∣mons, as (1) The trade of truth advanced, preached before the H. of Commons at a Fast 27 Jul. 1642, on Prov. 23. ver. 23. Lond. 1642. qu.

Coll. in Cambr. printed 1648, and his collecting into one quarto Vol. several of the theological Tracts of the aforesaid Will. Fenner, printed at Lond. 1651. You may see more of him the said Th. Hill in Anth. Tuckney's Sermon at his Funeral, with an account of his Life and Death, printed in 1654, in oct. Besides this Dr. Tho. Hill, was another also, who was Minister of Brodfield in Suffolk, and died there in the Winter time 1638, but hath nothing extant, as I can yet see: and a third Dr. Tho. Hill you may see in my discourse of Dr. George Abbot among the Writers, an. 1633. num. 612.

Thom. Thorowgood M. A.—He was afterwards Bach. of Div. Re∣ctor of Grymston in Norfolk, and one of the Assembly of Divines. Among several things that he hath published are (1) Jews in Ame∣rica; or, probabilities that Americans are of that race, &c. Lond. 1650. qu. (2) Moderation justified, &c. Fast-serm. before the H. of Commons 26 Dec. 1644, on Phil. 4. 5. Lond. 1645. qu. &c.

Freaer or Fryer Doct. of Phys. of the University of Padua.—He was at this time a practitioner in the City of Lon∣don, and dying in the beginning of 1623, about two months after his Incorporation, was buried in the Parish Church of S. Botolph, in the tomb of his Mother lately deceased; but in which of the Churches of S. Botolph in London, 'tis not said.

Creations.

Apr. 12. Francis Whiddon of Exeter Coll. and a Devonian born. was actually created M. of A.—He was afterwards Minister of Morton Hampsted in his own Country, and published A golden to∣paze; or, a heart-jewel: namely a conscience purified and pacified by the blood and spirit of Christ; on Heb. 13. 18. Oxon. 1656. oct. he being then conformable to the men in Authority and Power. What other things he published, I find not.

Jul. 1. Joh. Leigh of Brasn. Coll. was actually created M. of A. in the house of Congregation.—'Twas four years since he took the degree of Bach. of Arts, in which time he had† 1.183 studied in se∣veral transmarine Universities, and had obtained such admirable knowledge in all humane learning, and especially in Philosophy, and other Arts, that he was esteemed by the venerable Regents most worthy of the degree of M. of Arts.

Sam. Bochartus of Roan in Normandy became a Sojourner this year in the University, and was entred a Student in the publick Library in the beginning of Lent Term: with the help of which and other Libraries, he laid the foundation of most rare Books which he afterwards published. His Geographia sacra hath made him famous in the learned World, as also his Hierozoicon; for both which, eminent Authors do in an high manner celebrate his name. He was Pastor of the Protestant Church at Caen in Normandy, where he died in 1667. being ever esteemed a great lover of the Church of England.

Incorporations.

May 7. Samuel Baker M. of A. of Christs Coll. in Cambridge.—He afterwards became a puritannical Preacher in London, and much followed; but being taken off from those courses, was made hou∣shold Chaplain to Dr. Juxon Bishop of London and a creature of Dr. Laud Archb. of Canterbury. About which time being Rector of St. Mary on the hill and of St. Christophers in Lond. where his preaching was much applauded by some, become Prebendary of St. Pauls Cathedral. On the 20. of Sept. 1638, he being then D. of D. was install'd Canon of Windsore, on the death of Dr. John King sometimes Fellow of Merton Coll. but he being soon after made Prebendary of Canterbury. he resigned his Canonry, and Tho. Broume Bach. of Div. of Ch. Ch. in Oxon was installed therein 28. May 1639. This Dr. Baker, who was a great Licencer of Books, but publisher I think of none, gained a great deal of Envy from the Puritan for his partiality in that office; for which and his great respect to the tenets of Arminius, he was in the beginnig of the rebellion ••••s••vanted and imprisoned, and at length deprived of his Spiritu••••••.

Thomes Harste M. of A. of the said University was incorporated the same day.—He was afterwards D. of D. Chaplain to K. Ch. 1. and Minister of 〈◊〉〈◊〉 (in Lincolushire) He hath published The descent of 〈◊〉〈◊〉, the Magistrates patent from Heaven, Ser∣mon at Lincoln Assizes, 13 March 1636. on Gen. 9. 6. Lond. 1637. qu. and other things, as I conceive. Quere.

On the 14 of July, after the conclussion of the Act, these Cam∣bridge Men following were incorporated.

Joh. Harding M. of A.—One of both his names who had been a Dominican or Black fryer, did speak A recantation Sermon in the Gatchouse at Westminster 30. July 1620, on Psal. 119. 71. Lond. 1620. qu. containing Motives why he left the Church of Rome. Whe∣ther he be the same with the former who was M. of A. I know not.

Thomas Scot M. A.—One of both his names also, who was Bach. of Div. of the said University, and a Preacher in the City of Norwych, hath several things extant, as the Oxford Catalogue tells you; but he is not to be taken for the same who was M. of A. because, if I mistake not, the Bach. of Div. died 1624. aged 45.

Thom. Edwards M. of A.—He was afterwards a Minister of Gods word, a zealous Puritan and in the beginning of that rebel∣lion raised by the Presbyterians, an. 1642, did, with his Wife, Children, Estate, and all that was dear to him, imbark in the same Ship with them, shew'd himself most zealous for the cause by preaching, praying, and stirring up the People to stand for them: Also by going out in Person, and lending money to carry on the War. He hath written (1) Reasons against the Independent Govern∣ment of particular congregations, &c. Lond. 1641. qu. Answer'd the same year by a Woman called Catherine Chidley. (2) Antipologia: or an answer to an Apologetical narration of Mr. Goodwin, Nye, Symp∣son, Burroughs and Bridge, members of the Ass. of Divines. Lond. 1644. qu. &c. (3) Gangraena: or, a catalogue and discovery of ma∣ny of the errors, heresies, blasphemies, &c. acted in England in these four last years. As also a particular narration of divers stories, re∣markable passages, letters, &c. Lond. 1645. qu. there again the second time 1646. qu. The second and third parts of the same book came out in 1646. qu. (4) Treatise against Toleration. Lond. 1647. qu. the first part. The other parts, if any, I have not yet seen. He hath also written, if I mistaken not, Of the particular vi∣sibility of the Church. Also A Treatise of the Civil power in Eccle∣siasticals, and of suspension from the Lords Supper, which three were published in qu. an. 1642. 44.

Will. Fairfax who had been incorporated M. A. in 1622 was in∣corporated again this year in the same Degree.—He was after∣wards D. of D. Rector of the Parish Church of St. Peter in Cornhill within the City of London, and Vicar of East-Ham in Middlesex. Of both which, he was deprived by a Committee of Parliament, (after he had been plundred, imprison'd in Ely-house and the Ships, and his Wife and Children turn'd out of doors) an. 1642-3. You may read more of him in that most scandalous Libell entit. The first century of scandalous and malignant Priests, &c. printed 1643. qu. p. 7.

• Anthony Shert Doct.
  • of Div.

All which with many others were incorporated on the 14. July as 'tis before said.

Aug. 4. Ferdinando Texeda Bach. of Div. of the University of Salamanca in Spain.—He had been a Monk in the said Country, but left it and his Religion, came over to the Church of England, and at length receeding to Oxon was not only incorporated, but found relief among the Scholars thereof. He hath written, Texe∣da retextus: or, the Spanish Monk, his bill of divorce against the Church of Rome. Lond. 1623. qu. It contains the chief motives of his conversion, and 'tis probable it was an Usher to other of his labours.

Oct. 14. Nich. Vignier M. of A. of Saumaur in France.—He afterwards took the Degree of Bach. of Div. in the year fol∣lowing.

Creations.

July 18. George Berkly Baron of Berkles, Moubray, Segrave and Bruce, Knight also of the Bath, was actually created Master of Arts.—This most noble Person (who had been sometimes of Ch. Ch.) died in 1658, leaving then behind him a Son named George, created Earl of Berkley by K. Ch. 2.

Incorporations.

June 5. Matthias Pasor M. of A. of the University of Heidel∣burg.

On the 13. of Jul. being the next day after the conclusion of the Act, were these Cambridge Men following incorporated.

Steph. Nettles M. of A. of Queens Coll.—He was afterwards Bach. of Div. and Author of An answer to the Jewish part of Mr. Seldens History of Tithes. Oxon. 1625. qu. Dedicated to Dr. John Prideaux the Kings Professor of Div. in the University of Oxon.

Richard Peck M. of A.—He was afterwards Minister of Co∣lumpton in Devon, and published Christs Watchword, occasioned on the funeral of the truly reverend Mr. Laur.c 1.186 Bodley late Fellow of Exeter Coll. in Oxon, and Rector of Clist-Hidon in Devon. Serm. on Mark 13. 37. Lond. 1635. qu. Besides this he hath at least four more Sermons extant, as (1) Serm. on Hosea 10. 12.—printed 1632. qu. (2) Serm. on Matth. 13. 37. (3) Serm. on James 5. 9. pr. 1632. qu. &c.

Robert Cotesford M. A.—He was afterwards D. of D. and Re∣ctor of Hadleigh and Monks Ely in the County of Suffolk: of both which places he was deprived by a Committee for Religion appoint∣ed by Parliament, an. 1643. At which time and after he suffered much for the Royal cause. You may see more of him in the wick∣ed Libel entit. The first Century of scandalous, malignant Priests, &c. p. 8.

Thomas Campion M. of A.—One of both his names was an ad∣mired Poet and Musician in the Reign of K. Jan. 1. and hath had the honor to be named by the Learned Camden with Spencer, Sydney, Drayton and other the chief of our English Poets. In Oxford Cata∣logue you may see the titles of some of his books, and among them Songs on the untimely death of Pr. Henry, pricked out to the Lute or Viol by Joh. Coprario. Which Coprario by the way, I would have the reader to understand, was not a forreigner, but an English Man, born, who having spent much of his time in Italy, changed his name from Cooper to Coprario (by which last he was so called in Ita∣ly) being in his time much admired for his composition of Fancies of various parts. As for the said Thomas Campion the Poet I take him to be too soon for Tho. Campion M. of A. of Cambridge.

Joh. Farmery LL. D.—He was about this time Chancellour of the Dioc. of Lincoln, was Burgess for the City of Lincolne to sit in that Parliament which began at Westminster 13. Apr. 1640. and died in 1647. One Joh. Farmery Bach. of Div. succeeded Dr. Tho. Sparke in the Archdeaconry of Stow in Apr. 1582, whom I take to be Uncle to the former, who was Son of Will. Farmery of Hea∣pham in Lincolnshire.

July 27. Mich. Jermin D. of D. of Leyden in Holland.—He was lately of C. C. Coll. in this University.

Aug. 25. This right honourable and most excellent Antonius Ru∣saeus Marquess of Fiat. Lord of Cheliy and Lengimeau, &c. Privy Counsellour to the most Christain King of France, chief Master of the said Kings Horse, Master of the Mines within the said King∣dom, and Embassdor extraordinary from the said most Christian King to the King of England, was incorporated Master of Arts: with which Degree he had lately been adorned at Cambridge.

The right honourable Robert Rich Earl of Warwick, Baron of Lieghs, Knight of the Bath, &c. was incorporated M. of A. to which Degree he was lately admitted at Cambridge.—He after∣wards

sided with the Parliament in the time of the grand Rebelli∣on, and was their Admiral at Sea for a time.

Sir Gaspard d'Algre Knight, Count of Beau-voir, Baron of Vivroux, La Croste, Baffie, St. Desi••e, S. Marcel, Cornusset, Par∣nassout, Bruges, Sauset, Captain of 50 Chevaliers by the ordinati∣on of the most Christian King, was also incorporated in the same degree, to which he had been lately admitted at Cambridge.

Sir Lewes Lewknore Knight, Master of the Ceremonies to King Jam. 1. and M. of A. of Cambridge.—Whether he be the same Lew. Lewknore who translated from Spanish into English The resol∣ved Gentleman, printed 1594 in qu. and other things, I know not. See more in these Fasti, among the Creations, an 1636.

Monsieur Jam. des Chempes, Orator of the most Christian King, was also incorporated M. of A. as he had formerly stood in the Univ. or Academy of Dividon (Dividonensis.)

All which honourable persons were incorporated with Anton. Rusaeus before mention'd, on the 2•• Aug.

19. Ranulph Adams a Sect, Bach. of Arts of the said University.

Feb. 24. Joh. Viccars Bach. of Arts of Cambridge, now a Com∣moner of Linc. Coll.

Creations.

Aug. 25. The honourable James de la Mariniere Baron of Mont∣martin, Gruchy, Borrivet, le Vignies and Guhebert, Ordinary Pre∣fect of the Horse belonging to the most Christian King, was actu∣ally created Master of Arts.

Will. Browne of Exeter Coll. had leave then given to him to be actually created M. of A. but 'twas not put in execution till 16 Nov. following.—He is stiled in the publick Register, Vir omni humana literatura & bonarum artium cognitione instructus. This person is the celebrated Poet whom I have mentioned among the Writers, under the year 1024. num. 516.

Peregrin Langford had then also the degree of M. of A. given to him, when he would be pleased to come to the University for it. —On the 11 of Dec. following, he supplicated the ven. Congrega∣tion (being then absent) that his Creation might be deferred till Trinity Term following; but whether he was then created, it ap∣pears not.

Jan. 18. Gilb. Primerose mention'd before among the Incorpo∣rations, was actually created D. of D. in the house of Convocati∣on (just after he had been incorporated) by vertue of thed 1.187 Let∣ters of the Chancellour of this University, wherein is contained a large testimony of his singular probity and great learning, and that he had spent twenty years in the study of Theology, backed by recom∣mendations from the King in consideration of his learning and worth. He was a Scotch man born, had been one of the French Preachers of the Protestant Church at Bourdeaux in France, but now of the French Church in London, and Chaplain in Ordinary to the King. In 1628, Jul. 21, he was installed Canon of Windsore in the place of Dr. John Buckridge, promoted to the See of Ely, (for he had kept that dignity several years in commendam with Rochester) which place he keeping till his death, Mr. Hugh Cressy sometimes of Merton Coll. was designed by his Majesty to succeed him, but was never installed because he afterwards changed his Religion. This Dr. Primerose hath written many things, as you may see in the Oxford Catalogue, among which are (1) Jacob's vow, opposed to the vows of Monks and Friers, Bergerac 1610. oct. in 4 Tomes or Vol. All which were written in good French, and the first Vol. containing two books, was translated into English by John Bulteel a Minister.—Lond. 1617. qu. (2) La Trompette de Sion, &c. Ber∣garac 1610. oct. in 18 Sermons; translated into Latin under this Title, Tuba Sionis, seu Exhortatio ad poenetentiam & jejunium. Dant∣sic. 1631. oct. (3) The righteous mans evils and the Lords delive∣rances. Lond. 1625. qu. in 9 Sermons. (4) The Christian mans tears and Christs comforts: Fast-sermon 7 Oct. 1624 on Matth. 5. 4. and on Luke 6. 21. Lond. 1625, in two parts, in tw. (5) The table of the Lord; whereof 1. The whole service is the living bread, &c. Lond. 1626. oct. in 3 Serm. &c. He paid his last debt to nature in his house in Chisell street near the Artillery Yard in the Suburbs of London, in Oct. or Nov. 1642, leaving then behind him several sons, viz. (1) James Primerose Doctor of Physick. (2) Da∣vid Primerose Minister of the French Church at Roan in Normandy. (3) Stephen, who was born 1606 Jan. 12 new stile: who after he came to age always rejected his Fathers counsel, and would never follow any calling. Afterwards he became a presumptuous and vain glorious person, tho very ignorant; did precipitate him∣self into divers and damnable Heresies, would abuse his Father at his own Table in the presence of his elder Brother and others, and would several times tell him that Jesus Christ was come to put divi∣sion between Father and Children, &c. upon which account his Fa∣ther left him nothing in his Will but six pence. (4) John Prime∣rose born 24 Nov. 1608, who had spent so much money at Paris, London, and in the Low Countries, that he could give him no more in his Will.

Joh Durie a Scotch man became a sojourner in the University, in the month of July this year, for the sake of the publick Library, but how long he continued there, I cannot tell. He afterwards travelled into various Countries beyond the Seas, especially thro most parts of Germany, where he visited the chief recesses of the Muses, and by long continuance spoke the German Tongue so well and fluent, that many English men after his return took him

to be a German Native. He was by profession a Divine, was in Orders and a Preacher; but whether he took them according to the way of the Church of England, which he always scrupled▪ it doth not appear. He was a great pretender towards the making of a reconciliation between the Calvinists and Lutherans beyond the Seas, or as he himself used to say, For the making and setling a Pro∣testant union and peace in the Churches beyond the Seas, &c. In which work he received encouragement† 1.188 from Archb. Laud, tho Pry••n•• his inveterate Enemy saith* 1.189 not, but found so small encouragement from him, that he oft complained thereof to his friends. You may be pleased to see more of these matters, and of various Transacti∣ons of the life of the said Durie in a Letter written by him to his antient Acquaintance Sam. Hartlib Esq; who published it (when the said Durie fell into the displeasure of the Presbyterians for shewing himself false to them in several respects) with this Title, The unchanged, constant, and single-hearted Peace-maker drawn forth into the World: Or, a Vindication of Mr. Jo. Dury from the aspersions cast upon him in a nameless Pamphlet called. The time-serving Proteus, and ambidexter Divine, uncased to the World; wherein &c. Lond. 1650, in three sheets in quarto. Upon the turn of the times occasion'd by the Presbyterians, an. 1641, he sided with them, was one of the Preachers before the Long Parliament, the members of which appointed him one of the Assembly of Divines, and took from them several places of Em∣ployment. Afterwards he sided with the Independents, took the Engagement, as he had the Covenant before, and all other Oaths that followed, till his Majesties Restauration 1660; at which time, and after, he was living. He hath written and published about twenty Books and Pamphlets; among which are (1) Consultatio Theologica super negotio pacis Ecclesiast. Lond. 1641. qu. (2) Epi∣stolary discourse to Tho. Goodwin, Ph. N••e and Sam. Hartlib. Lond. 1644, &c. qu. This being written against Toleration, was an∣swer'd by H. Robinson. (3) Of Presbytery and Independency, &c. print. 1646. qu. (4) Model of Ch. government. print. 1647. qu. (5) Peace-maker the Gospel way. print. 1648. qu. (6) Seasonable discourse for reformation, Lond. 1649. qu. published by Sam. Hart∣lib. (7) Considerations concerning the Engagement. print. 1650. This being answered, Dury came out with a Reply. (8) The re∣formed School. Lond. 1650, in tw. published by S. Hartlib. (9) Supplement to the reform. School. Lond. 1651. in tw. published by the said Hartlib. (10) The reform. Library keeper. Lond. 1650. in tw. To which is added Bibliotheca Augusta sereniss. Princ. D.

Incorporations.

The plague raging this year in London, and therefore the Act put off, few incorporations occur. However those that are, take as they follow.

July…Tho. Browne Bach. of the Laws of Trin. Coll. in Cam∣bridge. Quaere.

6. Edm. Prideaux M. A. of the same University.—This Per∣son, if I am not mistaken, was the same, who, in the times of Usurpation, was Commissioner of the great Seal, and by ordinance did practice within the Bar, as one of the Kings Council, and af∣ter that was made Attorney General, and Post-master for all the Inland-letters. From which employments gaining a vast estate, left at the time of his death, 19. Aug. 1659 an incredible mass of gold (as the credible report then went) besides Lands of very great demesness.

Creations.

Jan. 26. John Hassall or Halsall a Student in Divinity, some∣times Bach. of Law and Fellow of New Coll. had then leave given to him by the venerable Convocation that he might be actually created Doctor of the said faculty, when he pleased to accept of that Degree, but the day when he was created, appears not. In the letters commendatory of the Chancellour of this Univ. (Will. Earl of Pembroke) written to the members thereof, are these mat∣ters mention'd of the said Hassall.—

He hath been a diligent and faithful preacher of the word of God in the Low-countries, and hath gotten a singular good reputation with the English in those parts, having been particularly favoured and cherished by the Count Palatine and the Lady Elizabeth his most Royal spouse.—He was, when my self was a Student in the University, a hopeful Scholar,

and of special note in the same house with me, &c. The Letters also of Sir Horatio Vere written in his behalf to the Uni∣versity say also thus.—He hath not only gained a singular good re∣port for his abilities, but for his pious and sweet conversation and esteem among us; meaning his Soldiers and Voluntiers in the Low countries, where the said Sir Horatio was a Commander of a Regiment, sent to joyn with the united Princes in Germany. The said Dr. Hassall was installed Dean of Norwych (in the place of Dr. Edm. Suckling) on the 15. July 1628; which Dignity he obtained by the endea∣vours of the Lady Elizabeth beforemention'd. He died and was buried at Creak in Norfolk in the times of Usurpation, and was succeeded in his Deanery, after the restauration of K. Charles 2. by Dr. Joh. Croft of Allsouls College, Brother to William Lord Croft.

Earl of Cumberland in his travels, he was Author of A large rela∣tion of Port Ricco voyage, which is inserted in the fourth Vol. of Sam. Purchas his Pilgrims, printed at Lond. 1625. p. 11. 55. One John Layfield D. D. had a hand in translating the Bible in the begin∣ning of K. Jam. 1. but he, you must know, was Fellow of Trin. Coll. in Cambridge, and afterwards Parson of St. Clements Church without Temble-bar near London, where he died in 1617.

July 10. Thom. Aylesbury Bach. of Div. of the same University.—He hath published (1) Serm. preached at Pauls cross, 2. June 1622, on Luke 17. 37. Lond. 1623. qu.

Cantab. 1659. qu.

Edward Alston Doct. of Phys. of the said Univ. of Cambridge was incorporated on the same day.—He was afterwards a Knight and President of the Coll. of Physicians at London. He died in the Pa∣rish of Great St. Helens in Lond. in the Winter time, 1669.

July 24. James Vsher Archb. of Armagh and Primate of all Ire∣land, was incorporated Doct. of Div. as he had stood in the Univ. of Dublin.—This was done while he lodged in Jesus Coll. pur∣posely to peruse certain MSS. in the Publick Library and elsewhere. In a Convocation held 10. March 1644. certain Doctors and Ma∣sters were by the Vicechanc. and Proctors appointed to take care and see that his Effigies should be engraven on a copper plate, with an Elogium under it, be prefix'd to his Annotations on Ignatius his Epistles, then printing in Oxon. It was also then order'd that he said plate should be engrav'd at the charge of the University, and in the name thereof. The Elogium which was afterwards by their appointment made, runs thus Jacobus Vsserius, &c.

James Usher Archb. of Armagh, Primate of all Ireland, the most skilful of Primi∣tive antiquity, the unanswerable defender of the Orthodox Re∣ligion, the maul of errors, in preaching frequent, eloquent, very powerful,

a rare example of an unblameable life.

Rob. Pink Vicechanc.

But this inscription, with the Effigies, was not put before the said Book, but before that De Ro. Eccl. Symbolo Apost. Lond. 1647. and some others since.

Jan. 31. Nich. Andrews was, with Rich. Andrews, (both Masters of Arts of Cambridge, incorporated here, as they had stood there.—Nich. Andrews was afterwards Doct. of Div. Rector of Guilford and Vicar of Godalmine in Surrey; where shewing himself a zealous Man for the Church of England, and a great Loyalist, was turn'd out of his livings by the Committee of Religion, appointed by the Long Parliament, an. 1643. He is mention'd in The first Century of scandalous, malignant Priests, p. 8.

Feb. 1. Tobias Crispe Bach. of Arts of Cambridge, now of Ball. Coll.—See before, among the Masters of Arts this year.

Creations.

July (22) Joh. Chudleigh Bach. of Arts of Wadham Coll. the eldest Son of Sir George Chudleigh of Alston in Devonshire Baronet, was created Master of Arts, he being a little before elected a Bur∣gess to serve in Parliament.

Nov. 20. Leonard Digges Bach. of Arts of Vniversity Coll. in A∣cademiis transmarinis bonarum artium studiis diu versatus (as the publick register saith) earum{que} cognitione optimè excultus, was actu∣ally created Master of Arts.

On the 27. of Dec. this year Edward Michelbourne a Gentlemans Son of Hampshire, originally a Commoner of St. Maries hall, and

afterwards for many years of that of Glocester, was buried in the Parish Church of St. Thomas the Martyr in the W. Suburb of Ox∣ford, aged 62 or thereabouts.—The reasons why I set him down here are (1) Because he took no Degree, being a Rom. Catholick, otherwise I would have put him in that year wherein he took a De∣gree (2) Because he was the most noted Latine Poet of his time in the University, as divers copies of his composition printed in seve∣ral books, shew; which if put together, would make a Manual. (3) That the Poets of his time did mostly submit their labours to his judgment before they were made publick, particularly Charles Fitz-Geffry, who dedicates his Assaniae to him.

Rich. Broughton a Sojournour in Oxon. was entred a Student into the publick Library on the 19. of June this year, under the title of a Minister of Gods word. This Person who had formerly studied in Oxon. to gain materials for the publishing of certain books, was born of gentile Parents at Great Steukley in Huntingdonshire, (but descended of an antient Family of his name living at Broughton Tower in Lancashire,) Sent when young to Rheimes in France, where passing his course among the English, became a good Philosopher and Theologist, and well skill'd in the Greek and Heb. tongues. Afterwards, he being made Priest, was sent into the Mission of England, continued there many years in good repute for his reli∣gion, learning, experience, and publick spirit: For which he was thought to be the fittest Person to be chosen Assistant to the Arch∣priest, that had been then lately appointed by his holiness the Pope. He hath written (1) Apologetical Epistle. (2) Moderate answer to a most calumniating Libel, which endeavours to prove that a Rom. Ca∣tholick cannot be a good Subject. (3) Continuations of the Cath. Apo∣logie made up out of Protestant Authors. (4) Ecclesiastical History of Gr. Britain deduced by ages, or centuries, from the nativity of our Sa∣viour, unto the happy conversion of the Saxons, &c. Doway 1633. fol. Tho 'tis a rapsodie, and a thing not well digested, yet there is a great deal of reading shew'd in it. 'Tis said in the title to be the first Tome, as if another was to follow. (5) True memorial of the antient, most holy and religious estate of Great Britain, flourishing with Apostles, Apostolical Men, Monasteries, religious Rules and Or∣ders, in great number, in the time of the Britains, and Primitive Church of the Saxons, &c. printed 1650. oct. published by G. S. P. (6) Monasticon Britanicum: Or, a historical narration of the first founding and flourishing state of the antient Monasteries, religious Rules and Orders of Great Britain, in the times of the Britains and Primitive Church of the Saxons, &c. Lond. 1655. oct. This Book I have, the title of which running almost verbatim, as the former, (which I have not yet seen) makes me to guess, that it is in many things the same. Quaere. This industrious Author, who probably hath written other matters died in a good old age, on the fifteenth of the Kal. of Febr. an. 1634, and was buried near to the bodies of his Father and Mother and other of his relations in the Church of Great Steuckley beforemention'd. Over his grave was soon after a Mon. with an inscription thereon, put, wherein he is stiled Presby∣ter Anglus, innocentia morum Angelicus. Majorum prosapiam, quo∣rum ipse nemini impar sacra functione longè superavit, & claro vir∣tutum ingenitarum praeconio perennavit, &c. Antiquariorum sui sae∣culi exquisitissimus, Ecclesiasticoruns Monumentum, aurifodinam, hae∣reditatem omni thesauro pretiosiorem, raro scientiss. virorum, sed op∣tabili exemplo, posteris reliquit, &c.

Of which Dignities being deprived in the time of the rebellion, became after his Ma∣jesties restauration Dean of St. Pauls Cathedral in London. In Bristow succeeded Dr. Hen. Glemham of Oxon, an. 1660, and in St. Pauls, Dr. Joh. Barwick of Cambridge, elected thereunto 15. Oct. 1661. To this Dr. Nicholas his piety and moderation, the Church was as much beholding, as the State was to his elder Brother Sir Edw. Nicholas. The former died 15. Aug. 1661, the other on the first of Sept. 1669. aged 77, and was buried in Horsley Church in Surrey, where there is a fair monument, with a large inscription thereon, over his grave. By the way I desire the reader to know that the said Sir Edward was born at Winterbourne-Earles in Wilt∣shire, where his name is, or at least hath been, antient and gentile, that he had his education in this University, and afterwards in the Royal Court, where he became at length Secretary of State to K. Ch. 1. and afterwards a sufferer for his cause, and an Exile with his Son Ch. 2. After the restauration of the last, he continued in the office of Secretary, but then growing antient, he resigned it in Oct. 1662. At which time his Majesty in consideration of his fidelity, constancy, and affection to his and his Fathers service, did freely offer to make him a Baron, but Sir Edward, according to his wonted candor and modesty, (after he had most humbly return'd his thanks) besought his Majesty therein to spare him. A Gentleman of both his names wrot An apologie for the honorable nation of the Jews, and all the Sons of Israel. Lond. 1648. in qu. What relation he had to the said Sir Edward, I know not.

Nov. 1661. and had the honor of Knighthood confer'd upon him in his Maje∣sties Bedchamber. He died in the Winter time an. 1668. and was succeeded in his Judgship by Dr. Leolin Je••kins.

Incorporations.

On the 10. of July being the next day after the conclusion of the Act, were 59 Cantabrigians incorporated in several faculties, the names of some of which follow.

Rich Sterne Bach. of Div. of C. Christi Coll.—This most wor∣thy and loyal Person who was Son of Sim Sterne of Mansfield in Nottinghamshire, (descended from those of his name in Suffolk) was afterwards D. of D. Master of Jesus Coll. and Chaplaine to Archb. Laud; with whom he was present on the Scaffold, when he was to be beheaded, purposely to administer comfort to him. But before that time, he had been imprison'd by the endeavours of Oliver Cromwell a Burgess for the Town of Cambridge in the Long Parliament, for being very instrumental in conveying the plate be∣longing to several Colleges and Halls in Cambridge to his Majesty then at York, and thereabouts: I say being hurried up to London with other Doctors, was imprison'd in the Tower of London, where by permission he attended the said Archbishop. About that time he was ejected his Mastership of Jesus Coll. lost all he had, suffer'd in an high manner for his loyalty, and lived obscurely du∣ring the interval. At length, upon his Majesties restauration, he was nominated by him Bishop of Carlile; whereupon being conse∣crated thereunto in the Abby Church of St. Peter at Westminster, on the second day of Decemb. an. 1660. sate there till the death of Dr. Frewen Archb. of York, and then being elected to succeed him in that See 28. Apr. 1664 was enthronized on the 10. of June fol∣lowing, in the Person of Dr. Edmund Diggle a Dignitary of that Church. This Dr. Sterne hath written. (1) Sermons or a Comment. on 103 Psalme.—Printed 1649. oct. (3) Summa Logicae, partim ex optimis quibus{que} autoribus tum antiquis tum recentioribus collecta; maximè autem ex usu & ad usum comparata, exemplis omnium ge∣norum abunde illustrata. Lond. 1686. oct. and, as 'tis probable, o∣ther things. This worthy Archb. died about 23. June 1683 and was buried in the Cath. Church of York. Afterwards succeeded Dr. Joh. Do••ben, as I shall tell you elsewhere.

Joh. Burges Doct. of Phys. and Parson of Sutton Colfield in War∣wickshire, was also then incorporated. At which time liberty was allowed to him by the ven. congregation that he might study in the publick library, being then a conformist to the Ch▪ of England. He paid his last debt to nature on the last day of Aug. 1635 aged 72. or thereabouts, and was buried in the Chancel of Sutton Colfield, in the same vault where the body of his then late Wife Dorothy was buried. He hath, written An apology to the Bishop of Lincoln, &c. answer'd by Dr. Will. Covell, an. 1606. Also The Popes deadly wound resolving the controversies between us and them. pr. in qu. and other things, as the Oxford Catalogue will tell you. See more of him in Tho. Wilcocks among the writers, an 1599.

• George Stanhop
• John Partenton
  • D. D.

As for the other Persons of Cambridge who were incorporated on the said day (July 10) I know no great matter of them, and therefore I shall proceed to speak of others who were afterwards incorporated.

July 11. John Thorie, Thorius or Thoris Doct. of Phys. of the Univ. of Dublin.—He was Son of Ralph Thorius a Physician, and had formerly been Bach. of Arts of Magd. Coll.

Rich. Hawley Doct. of Phys. of Leyden in Holland was incorpo∣rated the same day.—He was now or lately Fellow of Merton College.

Octob. 25. Francis Glisson M. of A. of G••nvil and Caies Coll. in Cambridge.—This learned Gentleman who was second Son of William Glisson of Rampisham in Dorsetshire; and he the second Son of Walt. Glisson of the City of Bristow, was afterwards Doct. of Physick, the Kings publick Professor of that faculty in the said University, Candidate of the Coll. of Physicians at London, an. 1634, Fellow the year after, Anatomy reader in the said Coll. 1639, pra∣ctised Physick at Colchester during the time of the rebellion, where he was present when the generous Royalists of Kent were besieged 1648. and after. In 1655 he was chosen one of the Elects of the said College and afterwards was President thereof for several years. He hath written (1) Prolegomena Anatomica. (2) Anato∣mia Hepatis. (3) Do Lymphae-ductibas. All which were several times printed, and once at Amsterdam 1659. in tw. (4) De natu∣ra substantiae energetica, sewde via vitae, &c. Lond 1672. qu. (5) De∣ventriculo & intestinis, &c. Lond. 1677. qu. and was one of the three (Geo Bate and 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Regem••rter being the other two) who

wrot De Rachitide, sive morbo puerili, qui vulgo the Rickets dicitur. Lond. 1650. oct. The discovery also of the Capsula communis or Vagina Portae is owing to him, who hath likewise given us certain notes for the more easie distinguishing of the Vena cava, Porta and Vasa fellea in excarnating the Liver. Further also he hath* 1.192 given such an excellent account of Sanguification (discharging the Liver from that office) and proved it by so good arguments, and clear experiments, that few have since doubted the truth thereof. This worthy Doctor, to whose learned Lucubrations and deep disqui∣sitions in Physick, not only Great Britain, but remoter Kingdoms owe a particular respect and veneration, died much lamented in the Parish of S. Bride alias S. Bridget in London in Oct. or Nov. 1677.

Dec. 15. Edward Lake lately Bach. of Arts of Catherine Hall in Cambridge, was incorporated in the same degree.—On the 24 Jan. following he was admitted Bach. of the Civil Law as a Mem∣ber of S. Albans Hall.

This year was a supplicate made for one Hen. Jacie M. of A. to be incorporated, but whether he was so or not, I cannot find. I take him to be the same with Henry Jessie alias Jacie a Preachers Son, who was born at West Rowton in the north Riding of York∣shire 3 Sept. 1601, and who in 1618 became Pensioner of S. Joh. Coll. in the said University. Whence, after he had taken one degree in Arts, he was invited to live in the house of Brampton Gourdon of Assington in Suffolk Gent. Father to Joh. Gourdon a Bur∣gess in the Long Parliament that began 1640, (nominated one of the Judges to sit on K. Ch. 1. but was not present when Sentence was passed) and to two others of that name who were Recruiters in that Parliament. In which house being setled, he studied Physick as well as Divinity. After he had commenced M. of A. which was in 1626, he preached privately in the Neighbourhood, and distributed pra∣ctical Books among the Brethren. Afterwards he removed to se∣veral places, but was not permitted to tarry long in any, because he was zealously averse to Conformity. At length in 1645 he re∣paired to London, where he joyned himself to the Congregation, of which Mr. Hen. Jacob and Mr. Joh. Lathorp had been Pastors, where he continued 25 years, not without several disturbances, especially before the grand Rebellion broke out. He hath writ∣ten (1) A catechism for Children. The Answers in which were wholly in the words of the Scripture. (2) The Scripture-Kalendar in use by the Prophets and Apostles, and by our Lord Jesus Christ, ex∣plaining the Accounts, Measures, &c. This was first printed in 1645 and afterwards came out with several Additions to the time of his Majesties Restauration 1660, and perhaps after. (3) The exceed∣ing riches of grace advanced in the conversion of Mrs. Sarah Wight. Lond. 1647. oct. (4) Store-house of provision for resolving cases of conscience, &c. Lond. 1650, in tw. (5) Description and explanati∣on of 268 places in Jerusalem and the suburbs thereof, with a large map. printed 1653, qu. (6) The lords loud call to England: being a true relation of some late, various and wonderful Judgments, or handy-works of God, by Earthquake, Lightning, &c. Lond. 1660. in six sheets in qu. This Book begins with certain matters relating to Oxon, which being very false, the Reader cannot otherwise but judge the rest so to be. In 1661 came out an imposture of a most damnable design called Mirabilis annus, or the year of prodigies and wonders, &c. and in 1662 the first and second part of Annus mira∣bilis secundus, and probably other parts, but such I have not yet seen. When these came out, which were advanced by several hands, it was verily supposed that Henry Jessie had a principal share in them. (7) Miscellanea sacra: divers necessary truths seasonably published, &c. printed 1665, in oct. (8) A looking-glass for chil∣dren: being a narrative of Gods gracious dealings with some little children. Lond. 1674, oct. He hath also written a Pref. or com∣mendatory Epistle before Joh. Grayles Modest vindication of the do∣ctrine of conditions in the covenant of Grace, &c. and other little things besides his own Experiences, which I have not yet seen. At length paying his last debt to nature 4 Sept. 1663, being then ac∣counted the Oracle and Idol of the faction, was on the 7 of the same month laid to sleep with his Fathers in a hole made in the Yard joyning to Old Bedlam near Morefields in the Suburbs of London, attended with a strange medley of Fanaticks (mostly Ana∣baptists) that met upon the very point of time, all at the same in∣stant, to do honour to their departed Brother. Some years after came out a short account of his life and death &c. but full of ridi∣culous and absurd Cantings; to which is annex'd An Elegy on Mr. Will. Bridge. Which Bridge had been sometimes Fellow of Ema∣nuel Coll. in Cambridge, was afterwards a Presbyterian, one of the Ass. of Divines, and the independent Minister of Yarmouth in Nor∣folk. He died a Nonconformist in 1670. See more of Hen. Jessie in Jos. Caryl, in the other Vol. of this work.

Creations.

May 25. Robert Lord Dormer of Wenge, lately of Exeter Coll. was actually created Mast. of Arts.—He was afterwards the first Earl of Caernarvan of his name, and taking up Arms in defence of his Majesty K. Ch. 1. had the hard fate to be killed near Newbury in Berkshire 20 Sept. 1643. See among the created Doctors of Law in 1642.

William Lewis M. of A. and lately Provost of Oriel Coll. was actually created Doct. of Div. on the same day, by virtue of his Majesties letters dated 9 of the same month, running partly thus—

William Lewis an antient Master of Arts, who hath spent divers

years both at home and abroad in the study of Divinity.—We, out of our experience of his diligence and ability of some affairs of weight, wherein we have in foreign parts employ'd him, be∣ing to use his person in some further service, wherein we think him fit to be continued, and grac'd with the degree of Doct. of Div.

&c. we therefore require you to create and admit him Doctor, &c. This person who was born in Merionithshire, was ele∣cted from Hart Hall (of which he was Commoner under the go∣vernment of Theodore Price his Uncle) into the Society of Oriel College, an. 1608, being then Bachelaur of Arts. Afterwards pro∣ceeding in that faculty, he took holy Orders, and tho a junior Master in his College, yet by a faction, and majority of Welsh men, got the Provostship of that place in 1617. But being too young for that office, and not able to conceal his amours (which were much aggravated† 1.193 by the Puritans) he abruptly left it and went beyond the Seas in his Majesty's Service. After his re∣turn he became Chaplain to the Duke of Buckingham, with whom being to go beyond the Seas ••or the relief of Rochel, was actually created D. of D. as before 'tis told you. After his return from that unhappy Expedition, he drew up from his notes A general relation of a Voyage to Rhe under the command and conduct of the Duke of Buckingham. The beginning of which is, Though the vari∣ety of the occurrents of this action might furnish argument enough of a just story, &c. This I have seen in a folio MS. of 18 sheets or more, but whether ever printed, I know not. Afterwards he was made Master of the Hospital of S. Cross, and Prebendary of Winchester; which, with other preferments, losing in the time of the Rebelli∣on, he fled beyond the Seas, and suffer'd much for the royal cause; while, in the mean time, his Sons were gained to the Church of Rome. After his Majesties return an. 1660, he was restored to what he had lost, and dying within the Hospital of S. Cross before mention'd, 7 July 1667, was buried in the Chappel there, under, or near, the high Altar.

Dec. 31. Richard Napier lately Bach. of Arts of Wadham Coll. was created Master of that Faculty in the House of Convocation, by vertue of the Chancellours Letters, which say that he is a kins∣man of the Duchess of Richmond, and a person well deserving in all that is necessary in a Gentleman and a Scholar.

I have made mention of him before, and shall again among the created Doctors of Physick, an. 1642.

Which Proctors were named by the King, as I have elsewhere told you: For certain new Ordinations being transmitted to the University by the Chanc. thereof in the month of Apr. for the ele∣ction of the Proctors, the Academians could not after their usual way meet together for the election of them, many Parsons, Cu∣rats, and Schoolmasters having already resorted from several parts of the Nation, nay some from Wales, to elect Lloyd. Whereupon no small tumult arising in the University, the election of new Pro∣ctors was prorogued till such time that the Controversies therein were equally composed. At length after all parties were satisfied, it was reputed unlawful for the Masters to nominate any to the procuratorial office, but the aforesaid Candidates Williamson and Lloyd. Which being the sentence of the King and Chancellour, that antient custom of choosing Proctors by suffrages in scrutiny vanished and came to nothing, and another new form of Election was introduced, as I shall the next year shew.

Mast. of Arts.

• May 10. Rob. Crosse of Linc.
• 13. Edw. Layfield of S. Joh.
• 15. Gasper Hicks of Trinity
  • Coll.

As for Layfield, he was afterwards Archdeacon of Essex, in the place, as I conceive, of Dr. Geor. Goulman, which Doctor dying on the first of Jan. 1633, was buried in the Chancel of the Church of Cheshunt in Hertfordshire. About the same time Layfield became D. of D. but not by admission or creation of this University, and Vicar of Allhallowes Barkin near to the Tower of London, where continuing till the grand Rebellion broke out in 1642, was then, for his Loyalty, and for his being favour'd by Dr. Laud, purse∣vanted, imprison'd in Ely house and in the Ships, sequstred, plun∣der'd, and afterwards forced to fly. When K. Ch. 2. returned to his Dominions, he was restored to his Vicaridge and Archdeaconry, and had other preferments, as I conceive▪ bestowed on him, of which one was a Prebendship of S. Pauls Cath. Ch. He was bu∣ried in the said Church of Allhallowes 10 Aug. 1680. Whereupon Mr. Tho. Turner of C. C. Coll. Oxon, one of the Sons of Dr. Th. Turner sometimes Dean of Canterbury, was installed in his Arch∣deaconry in January following.

        • Coll.

As for Rich. Browne who was Fellow of Mert. Coll. he was af∣terwards a Traveller and Doctor of the Laws, but of what Uni∣versity I cannot yet tell. After his return, he became one of the Gentlemen of the privy Chamber to K. Ch. 1. and Clerk of the Council. In 1640 he was employed by his Majesty to go to Henry Frederick Prince of Aurange or Orange, about the marriage of the Princess Mary to the Prince his Son; as also to the Queen of Bobe∣mia and the Prince Elector, an. 1641, to hinder that Prince his coming over into England at the then juncture of affairs, with pro∣mise to take into his consideration the concern of the Palatinate and other matters of state. In the same year the said R. Browne was sent to Paris, where he continued Resident in the Court of France for K. Ch. 1. and Ch. 2. to the French King Lewis the 13, and his Son Lewis 14, till the Restauration of his Majesty an. 1660. In which time, which was 19 years, I find these things following to occur relating to him. (1) That divers important matters of state were transacted by him with those great Ministers Cardinal Richlieu and Mazarine. (2) That many advantages were offer'd him by the Usurpers of England to be false to his Masters, but he resisted them. (3) That he did to his great expence, but more to his everlasting glory, keep up in the large house which he hi∣red at Paris, the publick Service and Liturgy of the Church of England, whither his Maj. Ch. 2. and then Duke of York did constantly resort. From whence divers Ministers of the Church of England (Exiles for their Loyalty) had many disputes with the R. Catholicks and others concerning the visibility of their Church, which they then kept up, while it was ecclipsed in England. (4) That he was employed by his Maj. Ch. 1. to carry the George and Garter to Bernard Duke of Espernon. (5) That he did negotiate about the Queens portion; out of which, he had, I think, 1000 l. which, with 200 l. more, was all he touched in the said 19 years, whilst he spent of his paternal Estate much more than that yearly, during his abode at Paris. (6) That on the first of Sept. 1649 he was created a Baronet (being the first that K. Ch. 2. made) by virtue of a dormant Warrant sent to him by Ch. 1. dated 1 Febr. 1643; and on the 19 of the said Sept. he received the honour of Knighthood at St. Germaines from his said Maj. Ch. 2. he being then also Clerk of the Council to him. In 1660 he returned into England with his Majesty, and did execute the said Office for some time. But years then coming on, he resign'd it, and retired to Charlton in Kent, where he spent the remainder of his time in a pleasant retiredness and studious recess. At length giving way to fate in a good old Age on the 12 of Febr. 1681, was buried accor∣ding to his desire in the Churchyard at Deptford, close to the Wall of the Church, where is a black Marble ballastred over his body. On the other side of the Wall in the Church lies buried his Father Christop. Browne Esq; who died in March 1645 aged 70 years, and his Grandfather Sir Rich. Browne Knight, a younger Son of an an∣tient Family at Hitcham in Suffolk, seated afterwards at Horsley in Essex; who being a Student in the Temple, was by Robert Dudley the great Earl of Leycester taken into the service of the Crown; when he went Governour of the Vnited Netherlands, and was af∣terwards by Qu. Elizab. made Clerk of the Greencloth. In which honorable office he also continued under K. James 1. untill the time of his death; which hapned in May 1604 aged 65 years. The before mentioned Sir Rich. Browne Grandson to this last Sir Richard, lest behind him a Daughter named Mary, who being his Heiress, was several years before married to the learned Vertuoso Joh. Evelyn of Says-court in the Parish of Deptford Esq; in which house, or at least in that Parish, Sir Richard was born; as also three

folio's of his dispatches, several Letters, some in cypher, &c. as well from his Maj. Ch. 1. at Oxon, as from his Royal Conso••t, and other great persons.

July 8. Oliver Thomas of Hart Hall.—The time when he took the degree of Bach. of Arts, appears not, nor when, or of what house he was matriculated. And therefore all that I can say of him is, that he was afterwards, perhaps now, beneficed in Shrop∣shire, that he wrot and published a book in Welsh entit. Carwry Cymru &c. printed 1630 or thereabouts, and that dying at Felton in that County* 1.194 was there buried. In the year 1647, one Oliver Thomas Minister of Oswestry, did subscribe among other Ministers of Shropshire to the lawfulness of the Covenant; who, I suppose, is the same with the former.

Lond. 1656. oct. For this Joh. Davis the Author was originally of Cambridge, where he took the degrees in Arts, and afterwards siding with the Faction, was first a Presbyterian and took the Co∣venant, afterwards an Independent and took the Engagement; for which he stickled in his Lectuers at Ch. Ch. At length being dis∣covered by the then godly Party to be every way fit to carry on the trade of Faction, he was translated to Dover, where he kept a Conventicle in a noted Brewhouse by the Reer, and soon after was made Chaplain to the Castle there by Col. Tho. Kelsey then Go∣vernour, and preached constantly at S. James Church, tho he was no setled Incumbent, Where continuing officiating till after the Kings Return, he was then outed, and afterwards kept a Conven∣ticle in S. James street in Dover, where he continued to the time of his death, which was about 1663.

On the 15 July, being the next day after the Act, were these Cambridge men incorporated.

Will. Spurstow Bach. of Arts (so he is written in the Register) was then incorporated.—This person who was the Son and Heir of Will. Spurstow Citizen and Mercer of London, but originally de∣scended from the Spurstows of Spurstow in Cheshire, was afterwards M. of A. grand Presbyterian, one of the five Smectymni, (Steph. Marshal, Edm. Calamy, Tho. Young and Mathew Newcomen being the other four) one of the Ass. of Divines, Minister of Hackney near London, a Preacher before the Long Parliament, Master of Cathe∣rine Hall in Cambr. (wherein he had been educated) in the place of Dr. Ralph Brownrig, and Doctor of Divinity. He hath publish∣ed (1) Englands pattern and duty in its monthly Fasts, Sermon to both Houses of Parliament 21 July 1643. on 1 Sam. 7. 6. Lond. 1643. qu.

In the year 1662 he was ejected from his benefice at Hackney for Nonconformity; where, and in the neighbourhood, he lived (exerci∣sing his parts in private among the brethren) till his death, (which was at Hackney as I conceive) in Jan. or Feb. 1665.

Edward Rainbow Bach. of Arts of Magd. Coll. in Cambr.—He was afterwards M. of A. Master of that Coll. 1642, Doct. of Div. four years after, and in 1650 was ejected from his Mastership. Af∣terwards he enjoyed two livings successively without examination by the Tryers, and in 1660 being restored to his Mastership, was soon after made Dean of Peterborough upon the promotion of Dr. Joh. Cosin to the See of Durham, and in Nov. 1662 Vicechancellour of Cambridge. In 1664, Jul. 10, he was consecrated Bishop of Carlile in K. Hen. 7. Chap. at Westminster, where sitting about twen∣ty years, gave way to fate in his Palace called Rose Castle near Carlile, 26 March 1684, aged 76 years or thereabouts. On the first of April following he was inter'd in the Yard belonging to the parochial Church of Dalston, under the Chancel Wall; at which time Mr. Thom. Tully one of his Lordships Chaplains and Chancellour of the Diocess of Carlile preached his Funeral ser∣mon. This Dr. Rainbow having been originally of C. C. Coll. in this University, I shall in my other Vol. of this Work speak more largely of him.

Thom. Ball M. A.—I take this person to be the same Thomas Ball who was born in Shropshire, first of Queens, under the tuition of Dr. Joh. Preston, and afterwards Fellow of Emanuel, Coll. in Cambr. Minister of the Gospel in Northampton, and a publisher of several books, as (1) The life of Dr. Joh. Preston. (2) Pastorum pro∣pugnaculam: or, the pulpits patronage against the force of unordained usurpation and invasion, in four parts. Lond. 1656. qu. &c. He was buried at N••rthampton 21 June 1659, aged 69 years or there∣abouts. At which time his intimate acquaintance Joh. Howes M. of A. (sometimes of Eman. Coll.) Rector of Abbington near N••rthampton preached his Funeral sermon: wherein were several matters delivered in commendation of Mr. Ball.

R••b. Creyghton or Chrichton M. of A. of Trin. Coll.—This person who was born in the north parts of Scotland, was educated in West∣minster School, and thence elected into the said College 1613, took the degrees in Arts, and became Orator and Greek Professor of Cambridge. In 1632, Dec. 17. he was installed Treasurer of the Cathedral Church at Wells, having been collated thereunto by Geor. Archb. of Canterbury, upon the then vacancy of the See of B. and Wells; in which Vacancy Dr. Rob. Wright, who kept the said Treasureship in commendam with the See of Bristow, was transla∣ted to Lichfield, and thereupon forced to give up that Dignity. In 1637 he became Dean of S. Burians in Cornwal, in the place of * 1.195 Rich. Murray a Scot deceased, and about that time Doctor of Divinity, and beneficed in Somersetshire. In the beginning of the Rebellion he suffered then and afterwards very much for the Roy∣al Cause, retired to his Majesty at Oxon, became one of his Chap∣lains, afterwards an Exile with K. Ch. 2. to whom being Chap∣lain at the Hague, preached very liberally before him against the Presbyterians, and the Murderers of K Ch. 1. After his Majesties return he became Dean of Wells, (the grant of which he had before) and being then also Chaplain to the King, he would freely preach before him against the Vices of the times, which was well taken by some, tho sneared at by others. In 1670, Jun. 19,

he was consecrated B of Bathe and Wells at Lambeth in the place of Dr. Will. Piers deceased; at which Ceremony assisted the B. of London in the place of his Grace the Archb. of Canterbury, with the Bishops of Winchester and Ely. This Dr. Creyghton was a lear∣ned man, as it appears by his translation from Greek into Latin, and illustration with excellent notes, of a book entit. Concilii Flo∣rentini exactissima narratio, &c. written by Sylvest. Sguropulus. Hag. com. 1660, fol. dedicated to K. Ch. 2. which being animadverted upon by Leo Allatius a Jesuit, Creyghton came out with an Answer. He hath also one or more Sermons extant, and dying 21 Nov. 1672 aged 79 or thereabouts, was buried in a Chappel joyning to the Cathedral Church of Wells. Over his Grave was soon after ere∣cted a fair tomb of Alabaster with his Effigies at length, in his pontificalia, lying thereon, and on the wall over it, is a large inscri∣ption, part of which runs thus; Robertus Creyghton &c. Natus Du∣necaledoniae in boriali Scotia, per patrem Thoman ex antiquis R••veniae Toparchis: per matrem Margaretam Stuart Johannis Jacobidae filiam, ex illustriss. familiâ Stuartorum comitum Atholiae, Johannis secundi Scotiae regu à trarre pronepos &c. Frances the Widow of this Dr. R. Creyghton, who was Daughter of Will. Waldrond Esq; died on the third of the Kal. of Nov. 1683, aged 68, and was buried near to the said tomb: over whose grave was a monument, with a large Inscription thereon, put at the charge of Rob. Creyghton her Son, Chauntor and Canon of Wells, Doctor of Divinity, Chap∣lain in ordinary to his Majesty, and Author of The vanity of the Dissenters plea for their separation from the Church of England. Ser∣mon on 1 Cor. 1. 10. Lond. 1682. qu.

Robert Sheringham M. of A. of Gonvil and Caies Coll.—This learned Gentleman, who was, if I mistake not, a Cambr. man born, was ejected, or at least left his Fellowship of that House in 1643, and afterwards retiring to London for a time, went thence into Holland; where he taught the Hebrew and Ara∣bick Tongues to young men at Roterdam, and in other places. After the Kings return in 1660, he was restored to his Fellowship, and lived in a very retired and studious condition, being then esteemed a most excellent Linguist, especially for the Oriental and Gothick Languages, as also admirably well vers'd in the ori∣ginal Antiquities of the English Nation, as it fully appears in his book De Anglorum gentis origine disceptatio, &c. Cantab. 1670, in a large octavo, and in his translation from Hebrew into La∣tin, with an illustration by Commentaries, of a Talmude book cal∣led Joma, wherein are several matters treating of Sacrifices.—Lond. 1648, in qu. He hath also published Two sermons preached as S. Maries Church in Cambridge. Lond. 1647, qu. Also The Kings Supremacy asserted. printed 1660, in qu. and other things. He died of an apoplectical fit, which caused him to fall on the fire in his Chamber in Caies College in the Winter time an. 1677.

Nich. Bernard M. of A.—He was at this time Chaplain to the learned Dr. James Vsher Primate of Ireland, from whom he had received his Ordination in S. Peters Church in Drogheda, an. 1626. Afterwards he was made by him Dean of Ardagh (some say of Kilmore) and intrusted in making useful Observations and Collections for him. In the time of the Rebellion in Ireland, he being then Doctor of Divinity, he suffered much, and was often in danger of his life. At length having lost all there, he re∣turned safe into England to attend on his Lord, became Rector of the rich Church of Whitchurch in Shropshire, by the gift of the Earl of Bridgwater, Chaplain to Oliver Lord Protector, one of his Almoners, and Preacher to the Society of Greys Inn. After the Kings Restauration in 1660, being possess'd with just doubts concerning the settlement of Ireland, he refused to return to that Country to take possession of his Deanery, and perhaps of a Bishop∣rick. Whereupon he continued at Whitchurch before mention'd to his dying day. He hath written (1) The penitent death of a woful sinner: or, the penitent death of John Atherton late Bishop of Waterford in Ireland, who was executed at Dublin 5 Decemb. 1640, with some Annotations on several passages. Lond. 1641, qu. 42, oct. (2) Sermon preached at the burial of Joh. Atherton the next night after his Execution, 5 Decemb. 1640, in S.

To which are added some enlargements. (8) The judgment of the late Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of Ireland, concerning, first the extent of Christs death, secondly of the sab∣bath, &c.

Sanderson, among the Writers in the 2 vol an. 1662.

With other books he hath written or published I know not, nor any thing else of him, only that he died and was buried at Whit∣church, in the winter time, an. 1661. leaving behind him a Son nam∣ed James.

Nathan. Bernard M. of Arts.—Among my searches I find one Nathaniel Bernard to be Lecturer of St. Sepulchers in London, an. 1629, who for uttering certain words in his prayer before Sermon at Antholines, concerning the Queen, was brought* 1.196 into the High Commission Court: Also for preaching against his Majesties Declaration, at St. Maries Church in Cambridge 6. May 1632, and using certain dangerous expressions therein, was suspended, excom∣municated, fined, and committed to the New-prison near to Lon∣don, where he continued several months, &c. It doth farther ap∣pear also that one Nathaniel Bernard was beneficed in Essex, but in the beginning of the grand rebellion in 1642 he was sequestred from his calling and charge there, by several Committees sitting at Westminster, banished from his dwelling and society of his Wife and Children, and they turned out of doors, &c. Whereupon reti∣ring for safety to Oxon, published A looking-glass for rebellion, Ser∣mon preached 16. June 1644. in St. Maries Church in Oxon. be∣fore the two Houses of Parliament, on 1. Sam. 15. 23. Oxon. 1644. qu. Whether these two are the same, or whether he that was the Author of the Looking-glass for rebellion, was Author of the My∣stery of the incarnation, being a Serm. on John 1. ver. 14. printed 1648. in qu. I know not, or whether the same who was incorpo∣rated M. of A. beforemention'd. I find one Dr. Nathaniel Bernard to have died beyond the Seas in 1656, whom I take to be the same with him, who was Author of the Looking-glass, &c.

Richard Culmer M. of A.—This busie Man I find was born in the Isle of Thanet in Kent, educated in Grammar learning in the City of Canterbury, and in Academical in Magd. Coll. in Cambridge. Afterwards he became Minister of Goodneston in his own Country, was suspended ab officio & beneficio for refusing to read the book of sports on the Lords day. For which usuage being much provok∣ed, he became a bitter enemy to Archbishop Laud, to the Cathe∣dral at Canterbury, and to all the prelatical Party in the beginning of the rebellion raised and carried on by the disaffected Party. A∣bout that time he became Minister of Harbledowne in Kent, and if I mistake not Vicar of St. Stephens near to Canterbury, in the place of Mr. John Gouge ejected thence for refusing the Covenant. And least he should not be esteemed as zealous a Brother for the cause as any then in being, he published a most vile Pamphlet intit. Ca∣thedral news: or, Dean and Chapter news from Canterbury. Lond. 1644. qu. In which, heaping up all that he could rake together against the Cathedral of Canterbury, Archbishop, Dean, Canons and other Officers belonging thereunto, had immediatly two an∣swers from Oxon. one in a Pamphlet intit. The razing of the record, &c. Oxon. 1644. in two sh. and half in qu. and in another called, Antidotum Culmerianum: or, animadversions upon a late Pamphlet, entit. Cathedral news from Canterbury, &c. Oxon. 1644. qu. in 5 sheets. In which last is set down many actions of Culmers life, his demeanour while he was in the University of Cambridge, and in the Country, his refractoriness; impudence, covetousness, unna∣turalness, &c. and what not that the Author thereof, who was a most generous Loyalist and who knew him, could put together to display him to the World. There also goes under the said R. Culmers name The Ministers hue and cry: or, a true discovery of the insuffer∣able injuries, robberies, &c. acted against Ministers, &c. Lond. 1651. qu. in 3. sh. as also Lawless tythe robbers discovered who make tythe∣revenew a Mock-maintenance, &c. Lond. 1655, besides other things which I have not yet seen. After the Kings restauration, he con∣tinued so zealous in his opinion, as to engage (for so it was notori∣ously suspected) in that hellish plot for which Thomas Venner, Rog. Hodgkin, &c. Anabaptists and Fiftmonarchy-men suffered in Coleman∣street in London 9. Jan. 1660. But the spirit of the Man being as well known as his face, he was taken posting up from Canterbury to London, riding upon Chattam hill. Whereupon being committed for a time, he, among several examinations, was asked why he brake down those famous Windows of Christ Church in Canterbury? to which he answer'd he did it by order of Parliament; and being asked why in one window, (which represented the Devil tempting our Saviour he brake down Christ, and left the Devil standing? he answer'd he had an order to take down Christ, but had no order to take down the Devil. Whereby was understood that those plotting brethren did mean when they intended to set up King Jesus, to pull down Christ. This Richard Culmer who was commonly called in Kent, Blew Dick of Thanet, because he wore blew in opposition to black, which he hated, lived several years after, and dying (but when I know not) was buried in the Parish Church of Monkton in the said Isle of Thanet.

Ralph Brownring Doct. of Div.—This learned and most religious Person was born at Ipswich in Suffolke, was bred Scholar and Fel∣low of Pembroke hall in Cambridge, became afterwards Prebendary of E••y, Master of, Catherine hall in the said University and Arch∣deacon of Coventry in the room of Dr. Sam. Brook. In 1641 he was made Bishop of Exeter (to the liking of all good Men) upon the translation of Dr. Joseph Hall to Norwych, but the Episcopal function being soon after silenced, he became, (after some years spent in the family of Tho. Rich. Esq; afterwards a Baronet) Preacher to the Temples in London, where being settled according to his de∣sire with all conveniences, surrendred up his pious Soul to him that gave it, 7. Dec. 1659. Whereupon his body was buried in the Church belonging to the said Temples on the 17. day of the same

month, at the charge of the Templers, who also put a very fair monument over his grave. Dr. John Gauden preached then his fu∣neral Sermon, and at the end of it printed a short account of his life; which is mostly remitted (without acknowledgment) into a book intit. Memoires of the lives, &c. published by Dav. Lloyd This Dr. Brownrig hath two volumes of Sermons extant, whereof the se∣cond contains 25, and both 65, Sermons.

All which Cambridge Men, viz. Spurstow, Rainbow, Ball, Creyghton, Sheringham, Nic. and Nath. Bernard, Culmer and Dr. Brownrig, were among many others of the University of Cambridge incorporated on the said 15. of July. Afterwards these following were incorporated this year.

Oct. 27. Maurice Williams Doct. of Phys. of Padua in Italy.— He was the Son of Lewis Williams of the Diocess of London, was educated in Oriel Coll. of which he became Fellow in 1620. Af∣terwards resigning it in 1631. settled in London, was Fellow of the Coll. of Physicians, a Knight and eminent for his practice in that fa∣culty. He died in his house within the Parish of St. Anne Black∣friers in London, in the beginning of the year 1658 and was there (I suppose) buried.

Nov. 6. Rob. Hall Bach. of Arts of Cambridge, now of Exeter Coll.—He was Son of Dr. Joseph Hall Bishop of Exeter, and was admitted M. of A. of this University in Feb. following. See among the created Doctors of Div. an. 1643.

Mar…. James Primerose M. of A. of the University of Bour∣deaux and Doct. of Phys. of Mountpelier, was incorporated Doctor of Physick.—This learned Doctor, who was Son of Dr. Gilb. Prime∣rose mention'd before under the year 1624. was born in the City of St. Jeand' Angely in the Province of Xantoigne in France, and after∣wards lived and practised his faculty at Hull in Yorkshire; where, and in most parts of that Country, he was esteemed an eminent Phy∣sician. He hath written and published several books, the titles of some of which follow (1) Exercitationes & animadversiones in Li∣brum Gulielmi Harvaei de motu cordis & circulatione sanguinis. Lond. 1630. & Lugd. Bat. 1639. qu. Answered by one Roger Drake Doct. of Phys. of Cambr. Son of Rog. Drake a Cloathworker of Breadstreet in Lond.

Jan. 20. Henry Jacob educated in the Low Countries under Tho. Erpenius the famous Critick, was actually created Bachelaur of Arts by vertue of the Letters of the Chancellour of this University, writ∣ten in his behalf.—He was soon after elected Probationer-Fellow of Merton College, and is hereafter most deservedly to be inserted among the Writers in the 2. vol. of this work.

It must be now observed that whereas the elections of Proctors had hitherto been made by publick canvassing, it pleased the Kings Majesty to make them private and domestick. And that he said office might be equally distributed through every Coll. according to an Arithmetical proportion, a cycle of 23 years, was by command of the King made. Which, while it revolves, sheweth how each Coll. (from whence the Proctors are yearly to be taken) is to joyn till the year 1720 and after, and how many courses each College hath therein. Which cycle being remitted into the statutes by the Kings authority, and afterwards published in a sheet of Paper, to∣gether with such Statutes that belong thereunto, the factious ele∣ctions by canvassing, or publick sollicitations for suffrages (which oftentimes proved pernicious to the University) were now (not too late) expired. The first Proctors of the said cycle, called by some the Caroline Cycle were these.

July 8. Oliver St. John of Trin. Coll.—This Person who was Son of Sir Joh. St. John of Lyd••ard Tregose in Wilts, I set down here, not that he was a Person afterwards eminent, but only to distinguish him from Oliver St. John, Son of Oliv. St. John of Caishoe in Bedfordshire Esq; (descended from the Family of the Earl of Bullingbrook) educated in Catherine Hall in Cambridge, afterwards in Lincolns Inn, where he was a Counsellour of note, especially after he had shewn his parts in arguing the case of Ship-money in behalf of Joh. Hamden Esq; who refused the payment of it, an. 1637. In the year 1640, he was chosen a Burgess for Totnes in Dev••nshire to serve in the two Parliaments that began that year; wherein shew∣ing his activeness, and readiness in speaking against several abuses, he was first made Sollicitor, and afterwards Attorney General, pur∣posely to mollifie his humour and to make him have a good opinion of the Kings cause. But all God wot operated little or nothing in him, as having been posses'd to the contrary by O. Cromwell, whose kinswoman Elizabeth (Daughter and Coheir of….Cromwell of Vpwood in Huntingdonshire) he had before taken to his second

Wife. So that proceeding very zealously against the Prerogative and all that looked that way, was made Lord Chief Justice of the Common-pleas, was sent Embassador into the Netherlands, an. 1652, he being then commonly called Cromwells Dark-lanthorn, Chancel∣lour of the University of Cambr. &c. and signally antimonarchical till the usurpation of Oliver Cromwell; yet notwithstanding was one of the Lords of the other house. After his Majesties restaura∣tion, (he being excepted to certain forfeitures which the Parlia∣ment then declared) he retired to an estate at Long Thorp in Northamptonshire, which he before had purchased, and resided mostly there till the time of his death, which hapned on the last of Dec. 1673, aged 75 years or thereabouts. He hath Several speeches, Arguments of Law, and other things extant.

The first of these three, who was a learned Civilian, was after∣wards High Sheriff of Oxfordshire (about 1652) and dying un∣married, 5. Apr. 1678 aged 79 years, was buried in Allsaints Church in the City of Oxon, near to the grave of his Father Will▪ Boswell, sometimes Alderman of the said City. The last was afterwards Dean of Hereford in the place of Dr. Dan▪ Price deceased, Preb. of Westminster, in the room of Dr. Rog. Bates, in the latter end of 1633, Minister of St. Faiths in London, (from which he was se∣questred by the Presbyterians in the time of the rebellion) and re∣ctor of Hertingfordbury in the Dioc. of London. He was an excel∣lent Preacher and a Person much reverenced by all, (even his ene∣mies) for his ecclesiastical aspect. He died in the latter end of 1644 or thereabouts; whereupon Dr. Herb. Croft, who had married his Daughter Anne, succeeded him in the Deanery of Hereford.

Ch. 1614, and that he died at Newton in Cambridgeshire, (of which I think he was Rector) in the year 1651.

Incorporations.

July (8) Job Paterson M. of A. of the University of St. Andre•••• in Scotland, as the pub. Reg. saith.—He was now a Student in this University, and was afterwards Bishop of Ga••loway in his own Country.

July…Hugh Symmes Doctor of Physick of Leyden in Holland.

Oct…John Hurne M. of A. Edenburgh in Scotland.—Whe∣ther he be the same Joh. Hurne who wrot and published The history of the Jews deliverance out of Babylon, &c. in ten Sermons upon Psal. 126. Lond. 1622. qu. I know not.

This year was incorporated, for at least was a supplicate made for that purpose) one Thomas Taylor Doct. of Div. of Christs Coll. in Cambridge, who was at first, if I mistake not, a Preacher at Watford in Hertfordshire, afterwards at Reading in Berks, and now, this year, Pastor of Aldermanbury in London; where, as-also by most of the Ministers in that City, he was esteemed an illuminated Doctor, excellent in following and opening an Allegory. The first thing that made him known to the World was his Commentary on the Epistle of St. Paul written to Titus. Cambr. 1612. qu. &c. From which time to 1635 were several Sermons, expositions, &c. pub∣lished under his name, the titles of most of which you may see in the Oxford Catalogue. He was also Author of The use of the Law, which some call The rule of the Law, answered by one Rob. Towne an Antinomian, in his book entit. The assertion of Grace. He died about the beginning of the year 1632, and was buried in the Church of St. Mary Aldermanbury. See more in Will. Jemmat among the writers, in the other Vol.

Ephraim Vdall was entred a Student in the publick Library in the beginning of July this year, but how long he continued there, or whether he was originally of this University, I cannot yet tell. This Person who was gathering materials towards the publishing of a book or books, I take to be the same Ephraim Vdall who was now, or at least shortly after, Parson of St Austins in the Old Ex∣change, near St. Austins Gate in London, a Man of eminent piety exemplary conversation, profound learning and indefatigable in∣dustry, by preaching a Lecture at his own Parish every Tuesday in the afternoon, and if I am not mistaken every Sunday before the

first Sunday in the month, a preparatory Sermon to the blessed Sa∣crament of the Lords Supper. Besides all this he was esteemed a Man of an affable, courteous and peaceable conversation among his neighbours. In a word he was a Man of their own vote, viz. of the Puritans or Presbyterians, and was (without profanation be it spoken) a shining and burning light. But when he found himself mistaken in the ends and intentions of the Heads of the rebellion that broke out in 1641. and 42, when he saw that the zeal of some did degenerate into madness and frenzie, and that the endeavours of others (under the pretence of reformation) was to bring in A∣narchy and Sacrilege, he published a learned Tract called by a cer∣tain † 1.198 Author (notwithstanding P. Heylyn published a book with the same title) A coal from the Altar: And another learned book entit. Noli me tangere. Or a thing to be thought of printed 1641. qu. Against Anarchy he also declared himself for Episcopacy, and the establish'd Liturgy, and published another book entit. Communion comeliness. Wherein is discovered the conveniency of the Peoples drawing near to the table in the sight thereof, when they receive the Lords Supper. &c. Lond. 1641. qu. In which book, by many im∣pregnable arguments, he proves a high conveniency, if not a neces∣sity, for that most laudable custome of having railes about the Lords Table. So that this Person being discern'd by the faction to be a friend to the Protestant Religion, established in the Church of Eng∣land, was look'd upon as their enemy, and was by them branded with Popery or as popishly affected. Yet his former reputation in the City bore him up against the obloquy of private discontent for a time. At length when they came openly to defie their Sovereign, (the Lords anointed) it was a fit time to silence and remove Mr. V∣dall; for neither Dr. Gouge his Church in the Black-friers, or Mr. Jo. Goodwins in Colemanstreet were half so full before the Long Parlia∣ment began, as Mr. Vdalls had been since. First therefore they plunder his house, take away his Library and Houshold stuff, then remove him from the execution of his Ministry, and sequester the profits thereof, for a Levite of their own. Afterwards they sought to commit him to Prison, tho aged and very weak and infirm in body, and at length carried his aged and decrepid Wife out of her doors by force, and set her in the open street to shift for her self. This most pious and meek Man, who had been favoured in his Ministry by the Vincents of Stoke-Dawbernon in Surrey Baronets, hath written other things, among which is, The good of peace; Ser∣mon on Psal. 29. 11. Lond. 1642. qu. He surrendred up his most pious and devout Soul to God, about the latter end of May 1647, at which time he desired that his body might be buried in the Chan∣cel of Allhallows in Honey-lane in Cheapside in Lond. unless the Pa∣rishioners of St. Austin, desire to have the disposing of it. In a most unworthy‡ 1.199 Pamphlet entit. The first century of scandalous, ma∣lignant Priests, &c. print. 1643. I find these matters of Ephraim Vdall, viz.

that he hath affirmed that the great reformers of the Church now are Hypocrites; and hath made, framed and pub∣lished a book, intit. Noli me tangere, without license, charging the Parliament with Sacrilege, in endeavouring to abolish Episcopacy, and to take away the Lands of Deans and Chapters, to amend therewith the maintenance of preaching Ministers; and that there∣by they have brought a national sin on the Land, as was formerly done by them in taking away Monasteries,

&c. For which, and other passages in the said book, he was thrown out of his rectory by the blessed Parliament, as it was then called.

Incorporations.

Jim. 30. Constantine Jessop Bach. of Arts of Trinity Coll. near Dublin.—I shall make farther mention of him elsewhere.

July 7. Thom. Clavering M. of A. (but of what University 'tis not set down) was then incorporated in the same degree.

• 8. Rob. Sparke M. of A. of Aberdene
• Mar. 1. Joh. Ramsey, M. of A. of S. Andrews
  • in Scotland.

One Dr. Rob. Sparke and Joh. Ramsey, were afterwards Publishers of several Sermons; but whether the same with the two former, I cannot tell.

This year Thom. Randolphe the most celebrated Poet of Cambr. was incorporated M. of A. but the day or month when, appears not.—I have made mention of him at large among the Writers, under the year 1590.

Joh. Pell also a Graduat of the same University, was incorpora∣ted, but in what degree, whether in that of Bachelaur, or Master of Arts, it appears not.—This person, tho I have several times occasionally mention'd in this Work. yet I shall take liberty to be more large upon him now. He was the Son of Joh. Pell, and he of another John, descended from those of his name in Lincolnshire, where they seem to be of antient extraction. His first breath was drawn at Southwy••ke in Sussex, (of which place his Father was Minister) on S. Davids day, an. 1610, and his Grammar learning received in the Free-school (then newly founded) at Stenning a Market Town in the said County. At 13 years of age he was sent to Trin. Coll. in Cambridge, being then as good a Scho∣lar as some Masters of Arts in that University: and tho he un∣derstood Lat. Gr. and Hebr. well, yet he never stood at an Ele∣ction of Scholars and Fellows of that house. He was of a strong and good habit of body, and therefore using Recreations seldom or never, he plied his studies while others play'd. About two years after he had taken the magisterial degree, he married, and understood then, besides the said three Tongues, Arab. Ital. French, Spanish. High and Low Dutch. In Dec. 1643 he took a Journey to Amsterdam, and was there made Professor of the Mathema∣ticks next after Mart. Ho••tensius, where his learned Collegue Ger. Jo. Vossius, (as he testifies de scientiis Math. c. 10.) heard him with admiration read his publick Lectures upon Diophantus; by whom likewise he is stiled a person of various erudition, and a most acute Mathematician. And in 1646 the Prince of Orange cal∣led him to be publick Professor of Philosophy and Mathematicks in the Schola illustris at Breda, founded that year by his Highness. While he continued there, William Lord Brereton was sent by his Grandfather George Earl of Norwych to be his Scholar, and became a good proficient, especially in Algabra, to which his Genius most inclin'd him, and carried it on to his dying day; which hapning on the 17 of March 1679 (he being then a chief Member of the Royal Society) was buried in the Church of S. Martin in the Fields within the City of Westminster, leaving then behind him the Cha∣racter among the Vertuosi of a very good Algebrest, and an excel∣lent Musitian, having composed several things of that faculty. In 1652 J. Pell return'd into England, and two years after Oliver Lord Protector sent him Envoy to the Protestant Cantons of Swit∣zerlandt, where he chiefly resided at Zurich. He was sent with the Title of Ablegatus, but afterwards he had order to continue there under the Title of Resident: and by that Title he was known till hi•• Return into England a little before Oliver's death, an. 1658; at which time it was vulgarly known among the Royalists, that in the said Employment he had acted nothing to the injury of the Church of England. After his Majesties Restauration he took holy Orders from Dr. Sanderson B. of Lincoln, had procured for him by Dr. Sheldon B. of Land. the Parsonage of Fobbing in Essex an. 1661, and two years after the Parsonage of Lainden with the Chappel of Bartelsdon annexed, in the same County. After the said Bishop was translated to Canterb••••y he became one of his Chaplains, being then Doct. of Div. and expected soon after to be made a Dean, but being not a person of activity, as others, who mind not lear∣ning, are, could never rise higher than a Rector. The truth is, he was a shiftless man as to worldly affairs, and his Tenants and Relations dealt so unkindly with him, that they cozen'd him of the profits of his Parsonages, and kept him so indigent, that he warned necessaries▪ even Paper and Ink, to his dying day. This learned and curious person hath written (1) Controversia cum Chri∣stiano Longemontano de vera circuli mensura. Amst. 1647. qu. (2) An Idea of Mathematicks Lond. 1651. in tw. written to Sam. Hart∣lib Es{que} and printed at the end of The reformed School written by Jo. Dur••e. It was before printed in Engl. and Lat. (3) A Table of ten thousand squa••e numbers, namely of all the square numbers be∣tween O▪ and an hundred millions, and of their sides or roots, which are all the whole numbers between O and ten thousand. With an ap∣pendix concerning the endings, or last figures of all square numbers. Lond. 1672, fol. &c. He hath also succinctly and clearly demon∣strated the second and tenth book of Euclid, which is in MS. in the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of the Lord Brereton in Cheshire, as also Archimedes his 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 and the greatest part of Diophantus his six books of Arithme∣••••k Which last is done more and better, than was before done by a certain French man. Both which are in the aforesaid Libra∣ry. He also published a little Anonymous Exercitation concerning Easter; and at the instance of Sir Charles Scarborough did demon∣strate the proportion of the Diameter to the Circumference, and shews the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 why 〈◊〉〈◊〉 did use those two numbers. The 〈…〉〈…〉 written in High Dutch by Rhonnius some∣times 〈…〉〈…〉 is mostly also his (Dr. Pell's) His 〈…〉〈…〉 is also extant, and a Letter relating to the 〈…〉〈…〉 Hamburgh by 〈…〉〈…〉 He

was the first Inventor of that excellent way or method of the marginal working in Algebra, and was a great advancer of some things pertaining thereunto, and the mathematical Faculty. At length after he had spent his last days in great obscurity, and had been once or twice cast into Prison for debt, (with shame be it spoken to the great Virtuosi of this age) died in Dyet street in the Parish of S. Giles in the fields near London, in the house of one Mr. Cothorne a Reader in the Church there, on Saturday 12 Dec, 1685, and was buried by the charity of Dr. Rich. Busby School∣master of the Coll. School at Westm. and Dr. Joh. Sharp Minister of the said Church of S. Giles, in the Vault under part of the said Church, commonly called the Vicars or Rectors Vault. His Books and, Papers came after his death into the hands of the said Busby; among which is the last thing that he wrot, The Tables (which are, (according to his promise in the last line of his printed Tables of squares) drawn up and finished; and which Sir Cyrill Wych when President of the Royal Society, did license for the Press. There only wants a leaf or two for the explanation of the use of them, which his death hath prevented. See more in Tho Branker among the Writers in the second Vol. an. 1676.

Creations.

Dec. 17. Edmund Wright of Ch. Ch. was actually created Master of Arts in the house of Congregation; which is all I know of him.

Georg. Alberti of Wad. Coll. was created Mast. of Arts the same day; which is all I know of him also, only that he had been late∣ly a Student in the University of Heidelberg in Germany, and that he was forced to leave that place, because of the Wars in that Country.

After the Re∣stauration of K. Ch. 2. an. 1660, he was created Sergeant at Law, and in the year following being elected a Burgess for Ludlow in Shropshire to serve in that Parliament that began at Westminster 8 of May, was made Deputy for Sir Geffry Palmer Chief Justice of Chester, by the name of Job Charlton of Ludford in Herefordshire Es{que} and in Octob. the same year (1661) was made the first Judge of the Council of Wales and Marches of the same. In 1662, he being then a Knight, was made Chief Justice of Chester, and on the 5 February 1672 he was elected Speaker of the House of Commons in the place of Sir Edw. Turner Knight. At which time he spake two Speeches to his Majesty and Parliament upon his admission to that Office, which were soon after printed in folio papers. On the 15 of the said month, he gave up the said hono∣rable office, under pretence of indisposition of body: yet a certain * 1.201 Writer tells us, that he (whom he calls a dull welsh Judge) had 500 l. per an. for giving it up; at which time succeeded Edw. Seymour Esq. In the latter end of April 1680, he was con∣stituted one of the Justices of the Common Pleas: whereupon his Chief Justiceship of Chester was confer'd upon Sir George Jeffries, Recorder of London. Afterwards he was made Chief Justice of Chester again, and was living in 1688, and perhaps may be still, being a great friend to the Ch. of England.

You are now to understand, that one Tho. Cook Bach. of Div. wrot a book entit. Episcopacy asserted as it now stands established in our Church and Commonwealth, &c. Lond. 1641. qu. Which Th. Cook having been bred, as I conceive, in Cambridge, and afterwards beneficed in the East parts of Eng∣land, he is not to be taken to be the same with the former of Bras∣nose, who afterwards* 1.202 was a Covenanteer, and never lived in those parts, or, tho very able, published any thing. He died 6. Apr. 1669. aged 73, and was buried in the Church at Bampton: whereupon his Vicaridge and Archdeaconry were confer'd on Steph.

In the latter end of this year (the day, or month occurs not) were incorporated Peter the Son of Rob. Salmon of Essex and John Kirton, both Doctors of Physick of the University of Padua. Of Peter Salmon I know nothing, only that a Doctor of his Sirname died at London in Nov. 1675: whom I take to be the same with Dr. Rob. Salmon Author of Synopsis Medicinae, &c. and other things. As for Kirton he spent most of his time afterwards in Italy, assisted Sir Robert Dudley Duke of Northumberland (to whom he was Phy∣sician) in his Chimical operations, and was living in Florence, where he was much resorted to for his practice, in June 1673, aged 70 years or more.

About the same time also (in Jan. I think) one Alexander Gross M. A. of Cambridge was incorporated, and soon after took the Degree of Bach. of Div.

Fleet∣wood, was actually created Master of Arts with great observance and solemnity.—He was the Son of grave John Oxenstierne now Embassador to the King of England from his Father Axel Oxen∣stierne the grand Chancellour and General-director of the Sweedish affairs.

Gustavus Horne another noble Sweed Lord of Kamhas and Purka∣la, being adorned with scarlet as the former was, and presented by the said Sir Will. Fleetwood, was actually created M. of A. in the same Convocation.

When the Vicechancellour was to admit these two Nobles, he openly spake these words to the large auditory. Gradum ambiunt Magistri in artibus duo nobiles juven••s, quorum alterius pater, alteri∣us patruus, pro aris & focis, pro religione, pro libertate, denique to∣tius Germaniae, tanquam duo fulmina bel••i, in terrorem domus Au∣striae jamdiu emicuerunt. They were very nobly treated, while they continued here, had rich gloves presented to them in the name of the University, and testimonials of their Degree very fairly writ∣ten and adorned, with the seal of each, put into a silver box.

Hall to the See of Exeter. Which Dignity he re∣signing, was succeeded by Dr. Will. Robinson, (Brother by the

Mothers side to Dr. Will. Laud Archb. of Cant.) who was instal∣led therein 25. of May 1635: At which time Dr. Baylie was Dean of Salisbury, in the place of Dr. Edm. Mason, whom I shall anon mention in the Incorporation. He died in a good old age at Sa∣lisbury, (after he had suffer'd much for his loyalty to K. Ch. 1.) on the 27. of July 1667, and was buried at the upper end of St. Johns Coll. Chap. on the right side of the grave of Dr. Will. Juxon som∣times Archb. of Cant. In the year 1662, he built a little Chappel at his own charge (and not at that of St. Joh. Coll. as, by a mi∣stake, is elsewhere* 1.203 told you) situat and being on the North side of the said Chappel of St. Johns, with a vault underneath. In which Chappel, was soon after his death, a stately Monument erected, with the Effigies of him the said Dr. Baylie lying thereon, curiously engraven in alabaster from head to foot, and much resem∣bling him in his last days. One Richard Baylie sometimes Minister of Crawley in Sussex, wrot The Shepheards star, or Ministers guide. Conc. ad Cler. in Apoc. 1. 16. Lond. 1640. qu.

The other who was an Esquires Son of Northamptonshire and Fellow of the said College of Balliol, was afterwards made Dean of Armagh by Tho. Earl of Strafford Lord Deputy of Ireland. But when the rebellion broke out in that Kingdom, he lost all, and fled into England; where liv∣ing obscurely till the restauration of K. Ch. 2. refused to return to his Deanery, or be made a Bishop there, and accepted only of the rectory of Haseley in Oxfordshire. He died in the City of Bathe 22. July 1661. aged 60 years, and was buried in the Church of S. Pet. and S. Paul there, on the north side of the stately tomb of Dr. James Mountague sometimes Bishop of the said City. In his Epi∣taph engraven on a brass plate, fastned to a plain white stone lay∣ing over his grave, he is thus charactarized.

This year was a supplicate made for one Edmund Mason D. of D. to be incorporated, but whether he was really so, it appears not. All that I can say of him is, that he was Tutor to Prince Charles, that he became Dean of Salisbury 20. March 1629, on the promo∣tion of Dr. John Bowle or Bowles to the See of Rochester, and dying in his house in Petty-France in the City of Westminster, on the 24. of March 1634 was buried in the North cross part of the Abbey Church of St. Peter, near to the Convocation House.

Creations.

Apr. 1. Thomas Turner Bachelaur of Divinity lately Fellow of St. Johns Coll. and now one of his Majesties Chaplains, was a∣ctually created Doct. of Divinity, being by his Majesties command to go with him in the next month into Scotland.—This worthy Doctor, who was Son of Thomas Turner of Heckfield in Hamp∣shire, Alderman and Mayor of Reading in Berkshire, was born in the Parish of St. Giles within the said borough, and admitted Scho∣lar of St. Johns Coll. in 1610, being their put under the tuition of Mr. Will. Juxon, who was afterwards Archbishop of Canterbury. After he had entred into holy orders, he became a practical use∣ful Preacher, which he kept up to the very last, and was much re∣sorted to by those, whose principles were orthodox. Afterwards he was made domestick Chaplain to Bishop Laud, Chaplain in or∣dinary to King Char. 1. Canon residentiary of St. Paul, and Dean of Rochester, in the place of Dr. Hen. King promoted to the See of Chichester; in which Dignity he was installed 26. Feb. 1641. Soon after he was sequestred from his Church of St. Olave in South∣wark,

plundered, carried thence Prisoner by a Party of Horse, and at length forced to fly to save his life. In 1643 he had the Dean∣ery of Canterbury bestowed on him by his Majesty, on the death of Dr. George Eglionby; so that he constantly adhering to the cause of his Master in the worst of his calamities, particularly at Hampton-court, and afterwards in the Isle of Wight, suffered afterwards great misery himself during the times of Usurpation, which he bore with a good courage, being then, as always before, esteemed a great exemplar of humility, most Christian simplicity, and of most fervent zeal to the Church. After the restauration of King Charles 2. he contented himself only with those spiritualities which he before had lost for his loyalty, and dying on the eighth day of Octob. 1672 aged 81 or thereabouts, was buried on the 17 of the same month within the Cathedral Church of Canterbury. At which time Dr. Peter du Moulin preaching a funeral Sermon, did speak honorably of the Per∣son that then laid dead before him; to which Sermon, being ex∣tant, I refer the reader. He the said Dr. Turner hath published A Sermon preached at Whitehall, on Matth. 9. 13. Lond. 1635. qu. and perhaps other things, but such I have not yet seen. He left behind him several Sons (which he had by his Wife Margaret, Daughter of Sir Francis Windebanke Knight, sometimes Secretary of State to King Charles 1.) of whom Francis was one, now Bishop of Ely.

July…. Will. Day M. A. of Cambridge.—He was a Native of Windsore in Berks, and being educated in Eaton School, was thence transplanted to Kings Coll. in the said University. After∣wards he became Minister of Mapledurham near Henley in Oxford∣shire, and Author of An exposition of the book of the Prophet Isaiah. Lond. 1654, fol. and of other things.

30. Joh. Munlossius M of A. of Bordeaux in France.

This year was incorporated Master of Arts John Milton, not that it appears so in the Register, for the reason I have told you in the Incorporations 1629, but from his own mouth to my friend, who was well acquainted with, and had from him, and from his Relations after his death, most of this account of his life and writings following. (1) That he was born in Breadstreet within the City of London, between 6 and 7 a clock in the morn∣ing of the ninth of Decemb. an. 1608. (2) That his Father Joh. Milton who was a Scrivner living at the Spread Eagle* 1.204 in the said street, was a Native of Halton in Oxfordshire, and his Mother named Sarah was of the antient Family of the Bradshaws. (3) That his Grandfather Milton whose Christian name was John, as he thinks, was an Under-Ranger or Keeper of the Forest of Shot∣over near to the said Town of Halton, but descended from those of his name who have lived beyond all record at Milton near Hal∣ton and Thame in Oxfordshire. Which Grandfather being a zealous Papist, did put away, or, as some say, disinherit, his Son, because he was a Protestant, which made him retire to London, to seek, in a manner, his fortune. (4) That he the said John Milton the Author was educated mostly in Pauls School under Alex. Gill se∣nior, and thence at 15 years of age was sent to Christs Coll. in Cambridge, where he was put under the tuition of Will. Chappell, afterwards Bishop of Ross in Ireland, and there, as at School for 3 years before, 'twas usual with him to sit up till midnight at his book, which was the first thing that brought his eyes into the dan∣ger of blindness. By this his indefatigable study he profited ex∣ceedingly, wrot then several Poems, paraphras'd some of David's Psalms, performed the collegiate and academical exercise to the admiration of all, and was esteemed to be a vertuous and sober person, yet not to be ignorant of his own parts. (5) That after he had taken the degrees in Arts, he left the University of his own accord, and was not expelled for misdemeanours, as his Ad∣versaries have said. Whereupon retiring to his Fathers house in the Country, he spent some time in turning over Latin and Greek Authors, and now and then made† 1.205 excursions into the great City to buy books, to the end that he might be instructed in Ma∣thematicks and Musick, in which last he became excellent, and by the help of his Mathematicks could compose a Song or Lesson. (6) That after five years being thus spent, and his Mother (who was very charitable to the poor) dead, he did design to travel, so that obtaining the rudiments of the Ital. Tongue, and Instructions how to demean himself from Sir Hen. Wotton who delighted in his company, and gave him Letters of commendation to certain per∣sons living at Venice, he travelled into Italy, an. 1638. (7) That in his way thither, he touched at Paris, where Joh. Scudamoure Vicount Slego, Embassador from K. Ch. 1. to the French King, re∣ceived him kindly, and by his means became kuown to Hugo G••o∣tius, then and there Embassador from the Qu. of Sweden; but the manners and genius of that place being not agreeable to his mind, he soon left it. (8) That thence by Geneva and other places of note, he went into Italy, and thro Legorne, Pisa, &c. he went to Florence, where continuing two months, he became acquainted with several learned men, and familiar with the choicest Wits of that great City, who introduced and admitted him into their private Academies, whereby he saw and learn'd their fashions of literature. (9) That from thence he went to Sena and Rome, in both which places he spent his time among the most learned there, Lucas Holsteinius being one; and from thence he journied to Na∣ples. where he was introduced into the Acquaintance of Joh. Bapt. Mansus an Italian Marquess (to whom Torquatus Tassus an Italian Poet wrot his book De amicitia) who shewed great civilities to him, accompanied him to see the rarities of that place, visited him at his Lodgings, and sent to, the testimony of his great esteem for, him, in this Distich,

Vt mens, forma, decor, facies, mos, si pietas sic. Non Anglus, verum herculè Angelus ipse fores.

And excus'd himself at parting for not having been able to do him more honour, by reason of his resolute owning his (Protestant) Religion: which resoluteness he using at Rome, many there were that dated not to express their civilities towards him, which other∣wise they would have done: And I have heard it confidently re∣lated, that for his said Resolutions, which out of policy, and for his own safety, might have been then spared, the English Priests at Rome were highly disgusted, and it was question'd, whether the Jesuits his Countrymen there, did not design to do him mischief. Before he left Naples he return'd the Marquess an acknowledgment of his great favours in an elegant copy of Verses entit. Mansus, which is among the Latin Poems. (10) That from thence (Na∣ples) he thought to have gone into Sicily and Greece, but upon se∣cond thoughts he continued in Italy, and went to Luca, Bononia, Ferrara, and at length to Venice; where continuing a month, he went and visited Verona and Millan. (11) That after he had ship'd the books and other goods which he had bought in his tra∣vels, he returned thro Lombardy, and over the Alpes to Geneva, where spending some time, he became familiar with the famous Joh. Deodate D. D. Thence, going thro France▪ he returned home, well fraught with Knowledge and Manners, after he had been ab∣sent one year and three months. (12) That soon after he setled in an house in S. Brides Churchyard near Fleetstreet in London, where he instructed in the Lat. Tongue two Youths named John and Edw. Philips, the Sons of his Sister Anne by her Husband Ed∣ward Philips: both which were afterwards Writers, and the eldest principl'd as his Uncle. But the times soon after changing, and the Rebellion thereupon breaking forth, Milton sided with the Fa∣ction, and being a man of parts, was therefore more capable than another of doing mischief, especially by his pen, as by those books which I shall anon mention, will appear. (13) That at first we find him a Presbyterian and a most sharp and violent opposer of Prelacy, the established ecclesiastical Discipline and the orthodox Clergy. (14) That shortly after he did set on foot and maintained very odd and novel Positions concerning Divorce, and then taking part with the Independents, he became a great Antimonarchist, a bitter Enemy to K Cb. 1. and at length arrived to that mon∣strous and unparallel'd height of profligate impudence, as in print to justifie the most exercable Murder of him the best of Kings, as I shall anon tell you. Afterwards being made Latin Secretary to the Parliament, we find him a Commonwealths man, a hater of all things that looked towards a single person, a great reproach∣er of the Universities, scholastical degrees, decency and uniformi∣ty in the Church. (15) That when Oliver ascended the Throne, he became the Latin Secretary, and proved to him very service∣able when employed in business of weight and moment, and did great matters to obtain a name and wealth. To conclude, he was a person of wonderful parts, of a very sharp, biting and saty∣rical wit. He was a good Philosopher and Historian, an excel∣lent Poet, Latinist, Grecian and Hebritian, a good Mathematici∣an and Musitian, and so rarely endowed by nature, that had he been but honestly principled, he might have been highly useful to that party, against which he all along appeared with much ma∣lice and bitterness. As for the things which he hath published, are these, (1) Of Reformation, touching Church Discipline in England, and the causes that hitherto have hindred it, &c. Lond. 1641. qu. At which time, as before, the Nation was much divided upon the Controversies about Church Government between the prelatical party, and Puritans, and therefore Milton did with great boldness and zeal offer his judgment as to those matters in his said book of Reformation. (2) Animadversions upon the Remonstrants defence against Smectymnus. Lond. 1641. qu. Which Rem. defence was written (as 'tis said) by Dr. Jos. Hall Bishop of Exeter. (3) Apo∣logy against the humble Remonstrant. This was written in vindicati∣on of his Animadversions. (4) Against prelatical Episcopacy. This I have not yet seen. (5) The reason of Church Government; nor this. (6) The doctrine and discipline of divorce, &c. in two books. Lond. 1644-45, qu. To which is added in some Copies a tran∣slation of The judgment of Mart. Bucer concerning divorce, &c. It must be now known, that after his settlement, upon his return from his Travels, he in a months time courted, married, and brought home to his house in London, a Wife from Forsthill lying between Halton and Oxford, named Mary the Daughter of Mr.— Powell of that place Gent. But she, who was very young, and had been bred in a family of plenty and freedom, being not well pleas'd with her Husbands retired manner of life, did shortly after leave him and went back in the Country with her Mother. Whereupon, tho he sent divers pressing invitations, yet he could not prevail with her to come back, till about 4 years after when the Garrison of Ox••n was surrendred (the nighness of her Fathers house to which having for the most part of the mean time hin∣dred any communication between them) she of her own accord returned and submitted to him, pleading that her Mother had been the chief promoter of her frowardness. But he being not able to bear this abuse, did therefore upon consideration, after he had consulted many eminent Authors, write the said book of Di∣vorce, with intentions to be separated from her, but by the com∣promising of her Relations the matter did not take effect: so that she continuing with him ever after till her death, he had several Children by her, of whom Deborah was the third Daughter, train∣ed up by the Father in Lat. and Greek, and made by him his Amanuensis. (7) Tetrachordon: Expositions upon the four chief pla∣ces in Scripture, which treat on marriage▪ on Gen. 1. 27, 28. &c. Lond. 1646. qu. (8) Colasterion: A reply to a nameless answer against the doctrine and discipline of divorce, &c. printed 1645. qu.

Upon his publication of the said three books of Marriage and Divorce, the Assembly of Divines then sitting at Westmirster took special notice of them, and thereupon, tho the Author had obliged them by his pen in his defence of Smectymnus and other their Con∣troversies had with the Bishops, they impatient of having the Cler∣gies jurisdiction (as they reckon'd it) invaded, did, instead of answering, or disproving what those books had asserted, cause him to be summoned before the House of Lords: but that House, whether approving the Doctrine, or not favouring his Accusers, did soon dismiss him. To these things I must add, that after his Majesties Restauration, when the subject of Divorce was under consideration with the Lords upon the account of John Lord Ros or Roos his separation from his Wife Anne Pierpont eldest Daughter to Henry Marquess of Dorchester, he was consulted by an eminent Member of that House, as he was about that time by a chief Offi∣cer of State, as being the prime person that was knowing in that affair. (9) Of Education, written or addressed to Mr. Sam. Hart∣lib. In this Treatise he prescrib'd an easie and delightful method for the training up of Gentry to all sorts of Literature, that they might at the same time by like degrees advance in virtue and abi∣lities to serve their Country, subjoyning directions for their ob∣taining other necessary or ornamental Accomplishments. And to this end that he might put it in practice, he took a larger house, where the Earl of Barrimore sent by his Aunt the Lady Rannelagh, Sir Thomas Gardiner of Essex, to be there with others (besides his two Nephews) under his Tuition. But whether it were that the tempers of our Gentry would not bear the strictness of his discipline, or for what other reasons I cannot tell, he continued that course but a while. (10) Areopagetica: A speech for the li∣berty of unlicensed printing, to the Parliament of England. Lond. 1644. qu. written to vindicate the freedom of the Press from the Tyranny of Licensers, who for several Reasons deprive the pub∣lick of the benefit of many useful Authors. (11) Poemata: quo∣rum pleraque intra annum aetatis vigesimum conscripsit author, &c. Lond. 1645. oct. (12) A mask.—printed 1645. oct. (13) Poems, &c.—printed the same year. Hitherto we find him on∣ly to have published political things, but when he saw, upon the coming of K Charles 1. to his Tryal, the Presbyterian Ministers clamorously to assert in their Sermons and Writings the privileges of Kings from all accountableness, or (to speak in the language of that time) Non-resistance and Passive Obedience to be the Do∣ctrine of all the reformed Churches (which he took to be only their malignity against the Independents who had supplanted them more than for any principles of Loyalty) he therefore to oppose that Thesis (which as he conceiv'd did encourage all manner of Tyranny) did write and publish from divers Arguments and Au∣thorities. (13) The tenure of Kings and Magistrates: proving that it is lawful, &c. to call to account a Tyrant or King, and after due conviction to depose and put him to death, &c. Lond. 1649—50. qu. Soon after the King being beheaded to the great astonishment of all the World, and the Government thereupon changed, he was, without any seeking of his, by the endeavours of a private ac∣quaintance, who was a member of the new Council of State, cho∣sen Latin Secretary, as I have before told you. In this publick station his abilities and acuteness of parts, which had been in a manner kept private, were soon taken notice of, and he was pitch'd upon to elude the artifice (so it was then by the Faction called) of Eikon Basilice. Whereupon he soon after published (14) Iconoclastes in answer to a book entit. Eikon Basilice, the portrature of his sacred Majesty in his solitudes and sufferings. Lond. 1649—50. qu. ib. 1690, oct. which being published to the horror of all sober men, nay even to the Presbyterians themselves, yet by the then dominant party it was esteemed an excellent piece, and perform'd answerably to the expectation of his Wit and Pen. After the Return of King Charles 2. this book was called in by Proclama∣tion, dated 13 Aug. 1660, at which time the Author (who a little before had left his house in Petty France which had a door going into S. James's Park) absconded, for fear of being brought to a legal Tryal, and so consequently of receiving condign Punishment. At the same time also, was called in a book of John Goodwin then lately a Minister in Colemanstreet in Lond. entit. The Obstructors of Justice: written in defence of the Sentence against his Majesty Charles 1. At which time also the said Goodwin absconded to pre∣vent Justice. Soon after the publication of Iconoclastes, Salmasius a Professor in Holland, who had in a large Treatise not long before, maintained, as 'tis said, the parity of Church Governors against Episcopacy, did publish Defensio rogia, pro Carolo 1. Rege Angliae, wherein he justified several matters, as Milton conceived, to the contradiction of his former book. Whereupon he wrot and pub∣lished (15) Pro populo Anglicano defensio contra Claudii Anonymi ali∣as Salmasii defensionem regiam. Lond. 1651. fol. said to be written in more correct Latin than that of Salmasius. While Milton was writing the said book, his sight began to fail him, and before it was fully compleated, one of his eyes did absolutely perish. In the month of June the same year (1651) the said book was burnt at Tholouse by an arrest from the Parliament, under the Govern∣ment of the Duke of Orleans▪ And in Sept. following it was the usual practice of Marchm. Nedham a great crony of Milton, to abuse Salmasius in his publick Mercury called Politicus, (as Milton had done before in his Defensio) by saying among other things that Christina Qu. of Sweden had cashiered him her favour, by un∣derstanding that he was a pernicious parasite, and a promoter of Ty∣ranny. After his Majesties Restauration, this book also was cal∣led in by the same Proclamation before mention'd. But so it was, that in 1652, a certain book entit. Regii sanguinis clamor, &c.

being published, Salmasius was highly extol'd in it, and Milton had his just Character given therein. The nameless Author of which being for a considerable time sought out, but in vain, by Milton, he at length learn'd by certain Ministers of State sent to the Republick of England, (who would sometimes visit him as a learned man) that it was written by one Alex. More formerly a Professor and Minister at Geneva, then living in Hol∣land. Whereupon he published (16) Pro populo Anglicano defen∣sio secunda, contra infamem libellum Anonymum, cui titulus, Regii sanguinis clamor ad coelum adversus patricidas Anglicanos. Lond. 1654, and at Hag. Com. the same year, in oct. Upon the wri∣ting of this book, the Author Milton lost the other eye; and tho to his charge he used many means, yet he could never reco∣ver either of his eyes. This book entit. Reg. sang. clam. &c. tho written by Dr. Peter du Moulin Prebendary of Canterbury, as it afterwards well appeared, yet Milton upon the reports before mention'd, could not be convinced to the contrary, but that it was written by the said More, and therefore not only abused him in his Answers, but by his friend Nedham in his Politicus, whereby the reputation of that learned person was severely touched. (17) Pro se defensio contra Alex. Mornum Ecclesiaste, libelli famosi, cui tit. Regii sanguinis clamor, &c. Lond. 1655, oct. In this book he is exceeding bitter against Morus, and pre∣tends to give a true history of his notorious Impurities both at Geneva and Leyden, and an account of his own particular life to vindicate himself from what, as he thought, was scurrilously said of him by Morus. At the end of the said book, the Author Milton added Ad Alex. Mori supplementum responsio. About the time that he had finished these things, he had more leisure, and time at command, and being dispenced with by having a sub∣stitute allowed him, and sometimes Instructions sent home to him from attending his office of Secretary, he began that la∣borious work of amassing out of all the classick Authors both in prose and verse a Latin Thesaurus, to the emendation of that done by Stephanus; also the composing of Paradise lost, and of the framing a Body of Divinity out of the Bible. All which, notwithstanding the several troubles that befell him in his for∣tunes, he finished after his Majesty's Restauration. But to go on with the Cat. of his Books according to time, take these as they follow, (18) Treatise of civil power in ecclesiastical causes, &c. Lond. 1659. in tw. (19) Considerations touching the like∣liest means to remove Hirelings out of the Church. Lond. 1659. in tw. (20) Ready and easie way to establish a free Commonwealth, and the excellencies thereof compared with, &c. Lond. 1659, in two sheets and an half in qu. This being published in Feb. the same year, was answer'd by G. S. in his Dignity of Kingship. (21) Brief notes upon a late Sermon titled, The fear of God and the King, &c. Lond. 1660. qu. See more in Matthew Griffith among the Writers, an. 1665. (22) Accedence commenced Grammar, &c. pr. 1661. in oct. (23) Paradise lost: a Poem in 10 books. Lond. 1669. qu. pr. in fol. with cuts, an. 1688. (24) Paradise regain'd: a Poem in four books. Lond. 1670. qu. pr. in fol. with cuts, an. 1688. (25) History of Britany from the first traditional beginning, continued to the Norman Conquest. Lond. 1670, qu. This History when it first came abroad, had only the reputation of the putting of our old Authors near∣ly together in a connex'd story, not abstaining from some lashes at the ignorance, or I know not what, of those times. (26) Artis logicae plenior institutio ad Petri Rami methodum concinnata. Lond. 1672 in tw. (27) Of true Religion, Heresie. Schism, To∣leration, and what best means may be used against the growth and increase of Popery. Lond. 1673. qu. (28) Poems, &c. on seve∣ral occasions, both English and Latin, &c. composed at several times. Lond. 1673-4. oct. Among these are mixed some of his Po∣ems before mention'd, made in his youthful years. (29) Epi∣stolarum familiarium lib. 1. Lond. 1674. oct. (30) Prolusiones quaedam Oratoriae in Coll. Christi habitae. printed with the fami∣liar Epistles. (31) Literae Pseudo senatus Anglicani, Cromwellii, re••iquorum perduellium nomine ac jussu conscriptae. printed in 1676, in tw. (32) Character of the Long Parliament and of the Assem∣bly of Divines. Lond. 1681. in 2 sheets in qu. In which book is a notable account of their Ignorance, Treachery, and Hypocri∣sie. (33) Brief History of Musc••via and of other less known Coun∣tries, lying eastward of Russia as far as Cathay, &c. Lond. 1682. oct. (34) The right of the People over Tyrants. printed lately in qu. These, I think, are all the things that he hath yet extant: those that are not, are The body of Divinity, which my friend calls Id••a Theologiae, now, or at least lately, in the hands of the Authors Acquaintance called Cyr. Skinner, living in Mark lane London, and the Latin Thesaurus in those of Edw. Philipps his Ne∣phew. At length this great Scholar and frequent Writer dying in his house at Bunhill near London in a fit of the Gout, but with so little pain, that the time of his expiring was not perceived by those in the room, on the ninth or tenth day of Novemb. 1674, was buried in the grave of his Father (who died very aged about 1647) in the Chancel of the Church of S. Giles near Cripplegate, London. See more of him in Sir Walter Raleigh among the Writers numb. 458. He was of a moderate Stature, and well proportion'd, of a ruddy Complexion, light brown hair, and had handsome features, yet his eyes were none of the quickest. When he was a Student in Cambridge he was so fair and clear, that many called him the Lady of Christs Coll. His deportment was affable. and his gate erect and manly▪ be∣speaking courage and undauntedness. On which account he

wore a sword while he had his sight, and was skill'd in using it. He had a delicate tuneable voice, an excellent ear, could play on the Organ, and bear a part in vocal and instrumental Musick. The Estate which his Father left him was but indif∣ferent, yet by his frugality he made it serve him and his. Out of his Secretaries Salary he saved 2000 l. which being lodg'd in the Excise, and that bank failing upon his Majesties Restau∣ration, he utterly lost that sum. By the great Fire which hap∣ned in London in the beginning of Sept. 1666, he had a house in Breadstreet burnt, which was all the real Estate that he had then left. To conclude, he was more admired abroad, and by Foreigners, than at home; and was much visited by them when he liv'd in Petty France, some of whom have out of pure devotion gone to Breadstreet to see the House and Chamber where he was born, &c.

Coll.—This person who was born at Mayden Bradley in Wilts, did upon the breaking out of the Rebellion side with the Presbyterians, became a Colonel, Governour of Wardour Castle in his own Country, one of the prime Officers in the Parliament Army, and at length sate, as one of the Judges when K. Ch. 1. was condemn'd to dye. After∣wards he went into Ireland, where he was Lieutenant General of the Army appointed by the Parliament, and Lord Deputy for a time upon the death of Ireton. In the time of Oliver he was a Major General, a grand fanatick, and a zealous favourer of all such who were anti-monarchical; but upon a foresight of the Kings Restauration he fled into a strange land to avoid the halter▪ was at Losanne with Goff, Whaley, Fare, when Lisle was kill'd there in Aug. 1664, and soon after, as 'twas then said▪ he, with his Wife, retired to Zurich. He was the Son of Sir Hen. Ludlow of Mayden Bradley before mentioned Knight, elected a Knight for his Country to serve in that Parliament which began at Westminster 3 Nov. 1640, where he shewed himself an enemy to the King and his party, and dying at Mayden Bradley 1660 or thereabouts, was there buried. By Letters dated at London 19 of Sept. 1689, I was informed that the said Edm. Ludlow, who had lived several years in Switzer∣landt, was daily expected at Westminster, with four Deputies from the Cantons, to make an Offer to his Majesty K. Will. 3. to raise men in that Country for his service. How true this is I know not; yet sure I am, that the said Ludlow was then in London, and that his being there being notoriously known, an Address was presented to his Majesty from the House of Com∣mons on the 7 of Nov. following or thereabouts, by the hands of Sir Edward Seymour a Member of Parliament, that he would be pleased to put out a Proclamation for the apprehending of Col. Ludlow attainted for the Murder of K. Ch. 1. &c. Where∣upon Ludlow hastning away (as soon as he heard of the motion of an Address) to the sea side, lay almost a Fortnight before he could be accommodated with a good Wind, and then re∣turned to Switzerlandt in the year of his age 74 at least. In the beginning of March 1690, was published a pernicious Pam∣phlet entit. A Letter from Major Gen. Ludlow to Sir E. S. (Sey∣mour) comparing the Tyranny of the first four years of K Charles the Martyr with the Tyranny of the four years reign of the late abdicated King James 2. occasion'd by reading Dr Pelang's leud Harangues upon the 30 of January, being the Anniversary or

Written as a Preface to a larger work to come, to Justifie the Murder of King Charles 1. not by the said Lud∣low, but by some malevolent person in England.

Assuerus Regimorterus, Londino-Anglus, Doct. of Phys. of the Univ. of Leyden in Holland, was incorporated Do∣ctor of the same faculty.—This person who was educated in School learning under the famous Tho. Farnabie, hath extant, Disputatio publica de febribus intermittentibus. Lugd. Bat. 1635. qu. had a hand in a treatise De Rachitide, &c. Lond. 1650. oct. and hath written, as I have been informed by one or more Do∣ctors of his Faculty, Principia medicinae. He lived and practi∣sed in Limestreet in London during the Reign of Oliver. One of both his names lived at North••reake in Norfolk, and died in 1671, who perhaps was Son of the said Dr. Regimorter. Qu.

CREATIONS.

Aug. 13. Robert Skinner Bishop elect of Bristow, lately Fellow of Trin. Coll. and Chaplain in ord. to his Majesty Ch. 1. was diplomated, or actually created D. of D. by a Diploma then da∣ted under the Seal of the University.

The King, Queen, and their respective Courts having been entertained this year by the University on the 29 and 30 of August, it was his Majesties pleasure upon his leaving the Uni∣versity, which was the 31 of the same month, that there should be a Creation in several faculties. Whereupon the names of those that made sute to be actually created, being given into the hands of the Chancellour by one of the Secretaries of State, was a Convocation celebrated on the same day in the After∣noon, wherein were actually created two Bachelaurs of Arts, two Bach. of Law, five and forty Masters of Arts, ten Bache∣laurs of Divinity, three Doctors of the Civ. Law, three Doctors of Physick, and one and twenty Doctors of Divinity. The names of some who were so created are these,

Bach. of Arts.

Frederick Sagittarie a German of Queens Coll. Son of Fred. Sag. of Heregord in the Palatinat.—He was afterwards a created Doct. of Phys. of this University, and practised his faculty in Dorsetshire.

John Kingsmyll of Trin. Coll. Son of Sir Hen. Kingsmyll of Sidmanton in Hampshire Knight.

Mast. of Arts.

Prince Rupert Count Palatine of the Rhyne and Duke of Ba∣varia, second Son of Frederick Prince Elector of the Empire and King of Bohemia, by Princess Elizabeth his Wife, Daughter of James 1. King of England, was the first person that was actually created Master of Arts.—He was afterwards an heroick Ge∣neral under his Uncle K. Ch. 1. when the Civil Wars began in England, an. 1642, a Knight of the Garter, Earl of Holder∣ness, and Duke of Cumberland. He gave way to fate (after he had performed great Exploits at Sea against the Dutch) 29 Nov. 1682, aged 63 or thereabouts, and was buried in a Vault on the south side of the Chappel of K. Hen. 7. at Westminster, leaving then behind him a natural Son usually called Dudley Rupert, begotten on the body of one of the Daughters of Hen. Bard Vicount Bellomont: which Dudley, stiled in Prince Ruperts last Will and Test. Dudley Bard, was educated in Grammar learning in Eaton School, being then a modest and meek-tem∣per'd Youth, as was by all there observed. But he being not much made for Learning, he was bred to Arms, (I think under Sir Jonas Moor) at the Tower, and after the Prince's death, went into the Palatinate to look after a Legacy and a great House left him there, and in Germany, and was, as 'tis said, kindly re∣ceived by the Prince Palatine. Soon after going to the Siege of Buda, he was kill'd in a desperate Attempt made by some En∣glish Gentlemen there, upon a breach made in the Walls or For∣tifications of that City, in July or Aug. 1686. At which time his signal Valour being expressed, tho scarce twenty years of age, his loss was much lamented. Pr. Rupert had also a natural Daughter commonly called The Lady Ruperta, begotten, as I have been informed at the Office of Arms, on the body of one Mrs. Margaret Hewes.

James Steuart Duke of Lenox in Scotland, afterwards of Rich∣mond in England, sometimes a Student in Trin Coll. in Cam∣bridge.— He was slain in the Battel at Keinton commonly cal∣led Edghill fight 23 Oct. 1642, and was buried at the upper end of Ch. Ch. Choire in Oxon.

Will. Seymour Earl of Hertford.—He was afterwards Duke of Somerset. See more among the Bachelaurs of Arts, under the year 1607.

Rob. D'evreux Earl of Essex, who in the year 1605 had been created M. of A. was now actually created again.—He was af∣terwards made Lieutenant General of his Majesties Army when he went his Expedition against the Scots, an 1639, Lord Cham∣berlain of his Houshold, and soon after (such was the mutabi∣lity of the man) Captain Ceneral of the Army raised by the Parliament against the King. He hath Several letters extant written to the Speaker and Parliament during the time that he bore that Office. He died 14 Sept. 1646, and was buried in S. Pauls Chappel (northward of the Capella Regum) in the Ab∣bey Church of S. Peter in Westminster.

Thomas Howard Earl of Berks.—He afterwards suffer'd much for the Cause of K. Ch. 1. and dying 16 July 1669, was buried in the Abbey Ch. at Westm.

Thom. Bruce Earl of Elgin in Scotland.—He was afterwards made a Baron of England by the Title of Lord Bruce of Whorl∣ton in Yorkshire, and departed this life 21 Dec. 1663, leaving then behind him a Son named Robert, created Earl of Aylesbury in Bucks. by K. Ch. 2. who dying on the 19 of Octob. or there∣abouts, an. 1685, (he being then Lord Chamberlain to the hous∣hold of K. Jam. 2.) was buried at Ampthill in Bedfordshire where

if I mistake not, the body of his Father had been interr'd. He was a learned Person, and otherwise well qualified, was well vers'd in English History and Antiquities, a lover of all such that were Professors of those studies, and a curious collector of MSS, especially of those which related to England and English antiquities. Besides also he was a lover of the regular Clergy, as those of Bedfordsh. and Bucks. know well enough.

Henry Spencer of Magd. Coll. eldest Son of William Lord Spencer Baron of Wormleighton.—This Henry was afterwards Earl of Sunderland, and taking part with K. Ch. 1. when he was opposed by his rebellious Subjects, was slain in the Battel at Newbury in Berks 20. Sept. 1643. whereupon his body was car∣ried to Braynton commonly call'd Brinton in Northamptonshire and there buried.

George Lord Digby of Magd. Coll. the eldest Son of John Earl of Bristow.

William Lord Craven of Trin. Coll.—He was afterwards Earl of Craven, and is now (1690) living.

Will. Herbert of Exet. Coll. a younger Son of Philip Earl of Pembroke.

Henry Coventrie Bach. of Arts and Fellow of Alls. Coll. Son of Thom. Lord Coventrie Keeper of the great Seal.—See among the Bachelaurs of Law, an. 1638.

Rich. Lovelace a Gentleman Commoner of Gloc. Hall.—Af∣terwards eminent for his valour and poetry, as I shall tell you ei∣ther in the next Vol. or elsewhere.

Hen. Jacob the curious critick of Merton Coll.

Ralph Brideoak•• of New Coll. sometimes a Student in that of Brasn.—He was afterwards Bishop of Chichester.

Frederick Schl••de of the Palat. in Germ.

Nich. Oudart Esq;—This Person who was born at Mechlin in Brabant, and brought from beyond the Seas by Sir Henry Wotton (who afterwards trusted him with his domestick Affairs) studied Physick, of which faculty he was Bachelaur, as I shall tell you among the Creations under the year 1642. About which time he became Secretary to Sir Edw. Nicholas one of the Secretaries of State at Oxon, and afterwards attending King Charles 1. in the Treaty in the Isle of Wight, an. 1648. lived for some time obscurely. At length he became Secretary to the Princess of Orange, then Latin Secretary to William Prince of Orange, and of his Council; in which capacity I find him in 1669. and afterwards Latin Secretary to King Charles 2. He paid his last debt to nature in, or near to, Whitehall about the day of the nativity of our Saviour, an. 1681. One Nich. Ou∣dart of Bruxells who was official of Mechlin, died 1608, whom I take to be Father or Uncle to the former.

Paul Becker of the Palatinate.

George Kendall of New Inn.

Joh. Suatosius, &c.

Bach. of Div.

Sam. Keme or Kem of Magd. Hall. sometimes of Magd. Coll.

Mark Zeiglier of Exeter Coll. who entitles himself Archi∣palatinus.—He was a learned Man, and whether he hath pub∣lished any thing I cannot justly tell. He became a Sojournor in the University 1623.

Doct. of Law.

Sir Dudley Carleton of Holcombe in Oxfordshire Knight.— He was soon after made one of the Clerks of the Council, and whether Secretary of State, as an Author* 1.206 of no good credit tells us, I cannot tell. See more of him in Sir Dudley Carleton among the Writers, under the year 1631. num. 519.

Sam. Henton or Hinton.—He died at Lichfield in 1668.

Will. Turner of Wadham Coll.—He was now, or soon after a Civilian of Doctors Commons, and in the time of the rebel∣lion he sided with those that were uppermost. In the middle of Jan. 1659 he was appointed by the Rump Parliament then new∣ly restored by General Geor. Monk, one of the Judges of the Court of Admiralty and of the Court for Probat of Wills, Dr. Walt. Walker and Mr. W. Cawley being the other two. And after his Majesties restauration he became Chancellour of Winchester, a Knight, and Advocate to the Duke of York: He died at Rich∣mond in Surrey, as I conceive, an. 1670.

At the same time that these were created Doctors of the Ci∣vil Law, was a proposal made in the Convocation that Sir John Finet Knight, Master of the Ceremonies, should be also crea∣ted, or at least diplomated Doctor of the said faculty, but whether he was really so, it appears not in the publick register. However what I have to say of him, shall be briefly this, viz. (1) That he was the Son of Rob. Finet of Soulton near Dover in Kent, Son and Heir of Thomas, Son and Heir of John Finet of Siena in Italy, (where his name is antient, who came into En∣gland in the quality of a Servant to Cardinal Laur. Campegius Legat a latere from the Pope) by his Wife, the Daughter of one Mantell, sometimes a Maid of honor to Qu. Catherine the Royal Consort of K. Hen. 8. (2) That the said John Finet was always bred in the Court, where by his wit, innocent mirth, and great skill in composing songs, he pleased K. Jam. 1. very much. (3) That he was sent into France an. 1614. about matters of publick concern, and in the year after he received the honour of Knighthood at Whitehall; about which time

he was made Assistant to the Master of the Ceremonies, with reversion of that place. (4) That upon the death of Sir Lewis Lewknore Master of the Ceremonies, he had that office confer'd upon him 12. March 1626, being then in good esteem with his Majesty King Charles 1. (5) That he wrot Fineti Philoxenis: Some choice observations touching the reception and precedency, the treatment and audience, the punctilio's and contests of foreign Am∣bassadors in England. Lond 1656. oct. Published by James How∣ell and by him dedicated to Philip Lord L'isle. (6) That he translated from French into English, The beginning, continuance and decay of Estates, &c. Lond. 1606. qu. Written originally by R. de Lusing. And lastly that dying 12. July 1641 aged 70 years, was buried in the North side of the Church of St. Mar∣tin in the Fields, within the City of Westminster, by the body of Jane his sometimes Wife, daughter of Henry Lord Went∣worth of Nettlestead in Suffolk, Sister to the Earl of Cleev∣land.

Doct. of Phys.

Peter Turner of Mert. Coll. lately Geometry Professor of Gre∣sham Coll. now the Savilian Professor of Geometry in this Uni∣versity.

John Carter of Magd. Hall.—He was afterwards a practi∣tioner of his faculty, near to Chancery-lane in Lond.

Gaspar Hopfius of the Palat. in Germany.

Doct. of Div.

George Warburton of Brasn. Coll. was the first and senior Theologist that was actually created Doct. of Div.—He was a Cheshire man born of an antient Family, had been Chaplain in Ord. to K. Jam. 1. and afterwards to K. Ch. 1. was installed Dean of Glocester (after Dr. Tho. Winniff's removal to the Deanery of St. Pauls) on the eleventh of June 1631, and on the 25. of Aug. (or thereabouts) following, became Dean of Wells, on the death of Ralph Barlow. He hath published King Melchizedek, Serm. at Court at East-hamstead 2. Sept. 1623. Lond. 1623. qu. and whether any thing else, I cannot yet tell. In 1640 he went to London to attend the Convocation of the Clergy that began with the Long Parliament, and dying in Drury-lane in the month of Dec. or thereabouts, an. 1641, was succeeded in his Deanery by Dr. Walt. Rawleigh.

James Hena or Hannay a Scot.

Walt. Raleigh of Magd. Coll.—He was admitted to the Dean∣ery of Wells 13. January 1641.

Edw. Burby of Linc. Coll.—He was now Prebendary and Archdeacon of Winchester; which Dignity was before enjoyed by Ranulph Barlow D. D. of Cambridge.

George Gillingham of Pemb. Coll.—He was at this time one of his Majesties Chaplains, and on the 2. Nov. 1639 was instal∣led Canon of Windsore in the place of Dr. Joh. Elly deceased. He had other preferments, and died 16. Dec. 1668, being then Re∣ctor of Chalton in Hampshire.

Daniel Escott Warden of Wadham Coll.

• Rob. Sanderson of Linc.
• Jam. Rowlandson of Qu.
• Morgan Owen of Jes.
  • Coll.

The first of these three was afterwards Bishop of Lincolne, and the last, Bishop of Landaff.

Samuel Marsh of Trin. Coll. sometimes one of the Proctors of the University, and at this time Preb. of Roscombe in the Church of Sarum.

Steph. Goffe or Gough of St. Albans Hall, lately of Mert. Coll.— This Person who was Son of Steph. Goffe the puritanical Minister of Stanmer in Sussex, travelled into the Low-countries after he had taken his Masters Degree, and became Chaplain to the Re∣giment of Col. H. Vere, whereby he gained good acquaintance and experience, which wound him at his return so much into the favour of Hen. Jermyn (afterwards Earl of St. Alban) that he was made one of the Kings Chaplains, by which title he was created Doctor of Divinity, and afterwards employed in the quality of a minor Agent and Envoy into France, then into Flanders, Holland and other Countries, &c. In the time of the rebellion he also acted much for his Master in several Countries beyond the Seas, and did him great Service, but when he saw the English Church ruin'd and Monarchy declining, he changed his Religion for that of Rome, and was thereupon taken into the society of the Oratorians at Paris, an order very famous there, tho but little known among us. The brethren whereof having liberty to improve their particular estates (for things are not common among them, as with other orders) he grew rich upon the stock which he had formerly gathered together by his endeavours, whereby he was in capacity sometimes to do cour∣tesies for his exil'd Countrymen. Abrah. Cowley the Prince of Poets, was, while at Paris, preferr'd and plac'd by him (tho the story is perverted) in the Family of the said noble Henry, then Lord Jermyn: Through whose heroical bounty he was af∣terwards design'd to the Mastership of the Savoy, but by certain enemies to the Muses, was depriv'd of it. Afterwards Henri∣etta Maria the Queen Mother to whom Goffe was Chaplain, committed to the said Goffs care the tuition of the natural Son of K. Ch. 2. known then by the name of James Crofts▪ after∣wards Duke of Monmouth; with whom continuing till he was about nine years of age, was taken from him and committed to

the care of a Gentleman called* 1.207 Rose or Rosse who after his Majesties restauration went Secretary to Henry Coventry Esq; in his Embassy into Sweeden. This Doctor Goffe who was esteemed by some a learned Man and well read in the Fathers, and there∣fore respected by Gerard Jo. Vossius and others, died in the house of the Fathers or Brethren of the Oratory situated in the street called St. Howrè at Paris on Christmas day according to our ac∣count an. 1681. aged 76 or thereabouts, and was buried in the Chappel belonging to that house. What writings of his are published, besides Nine Latin Epistles to the learned Ger. Jo. Vos∣sius, and his Negotiations taken by the Rebels at the battel at Sherburne in Yorkshire (which, with George Lord Digby's Cabinet and other things, were published at Lond. in qu. 1646.) I know not. He had a younger Brother named John Goffe who was a true Son of the Church of England, as I shall tell you among the Writers under the year 1661. and another called William, originally a Salter (or a Hatter as some day) in London, who clo∣sing with the Presbyterians in the time of the Rebellion, became a Colonel, great with Oliv. Cromwell, one of the Judges of King Char. 1. and a member of the other house, that is one of Olivers Lords. See more in the Fasti an. 1649. among the Creations.

Rich. Marsh of the University of Cambridge, lately Chaplain to Archb. Laud, afterwards to his Maj. Ch. 1.—He was now Prebendary of Hustwayt in the Church of York, and soon after Vicar of Halyfax in the room of Hen. Ramsden deceased. In Nov. 1644. he had the Deanery of York conferr'd upon him, on the death of Dr. Job. Scot, who died in the Kings bench Prison in Southwark. At which time his Majesty being at Oxon, Dr. Pet. Heylyn endeavoured by his friends to obtain that Dignity, but was put aside. After his Majesties restauration, he was ele∣cted 17. of Aug. and installed 20. of the same month, an. 1660. and dying 13. Oct. 1663. aged 78, was buried near to the grave of Matthew Hutton sometimes Archbishop of York, in the South Isle joyning to the Cath. Church there. In his Deanery succeed∣ed Will. Sandcroft D. D. of Cambridge, installed therein 26. Feb. 1663, who being removed to the Deanery of St. Pauls Cathe∣dral in London, Dr. Rob. Hitch of the same University succeed∣ed in Dec. 1664. Dr. Marsh hath one or more Sermons ex∣tant.

Edw. Morton lately M. of A. of Kings Coll. in Cambridge, now Rector of Sefton in Lancashire, Chaplain to the Lord Keep∣er and Prebendary of Chester.—He was born of an antient Family at Morton in Cheshire, and was Father to Dr. Will. More∣ton Bishop of Kildare in Ireland.

Aug. 1636. being then entertained by the Heads thereof, with his Uncle K. Ch. 1. At the same time Pr. Rupert and several of the English Nobility were also then matriculated. Dr. Laud in his Diary saith that the said Ch. Lodowick was then (with his younger Brother Rupert) actually created M. of Arts, yet no such thing appears in the publick register, or in any other record, of the University.

Afterwards he receeded to Oxon. and shew'd himself a great Royalist, but when he saw that the Kings cause declined, he came in to Rains∣borough a Colonel on the Parliament side, in Apr. 1646, and af∣terwards retiring to London, struck in with the Usurpers, and was by Oliver made Serjeant at Law in Nov. 1656. In Jan. 1659 he, with Sir Tho. Widdrington and Serj. Tyrrell, were made Commissioners of the great Seal, and after his Majesties restauration, he was made Serjeant at Law again 1660.

Two Bachelaurs of Arts of Qu. Coll. in Cambridge named Nich. Frost and Tho. Lee were incorporated this year, which is all I know of them, only that the first proceeded M. of A. in the year following, as a member of Ball. Coll.

This year among several Cambridge Men that were incorpo∣rated Masters of Arts, must not be forgotten John Cleaveland the Poet, not that it appears so in the publick register, but from the relation of a certain Person who was then a Master of this Uni∣versity. —This Mr. Cleaveland, who was the Vicars Son of a Market-town called Hinkley in Leicestershire, was born there, and in the same town received his Grammatical education under one Mr. Rich. Vines a zealous Puritan; where obtaining a perfe∣ction in Lat. and Greek learning was sent to Christs Coll. in Cam∣bridge; and in short time proving an exquisite Orator and pure Latinist, was preferr'd to a Fellowship of St. Johns Coll. in the said University; and as the delight and ornament of that house he continued there, about nine years, and from his Oratory be∣came an eminent Poet. At length upon the eruption of the Ci∣vil War, he was the first Champion that appear'd in verse for the Kings cause against the Presbyterians; for which, and his signal Loyalty, he was ejected thence. Whereupon retiring to Oxon the Kings head quarter, lived there for a time, and was much venerated and respected not only by the great Men of the Court, but by the then Wits remaining among the affrighted and distres∣sed muses, for his high Panegericks and smart Satyrs. From Oxon he went to Newark upon Trent, where he was so highly va∣lued by all, especially by the then most loyal and generous Sir Rich. Willis Baronet the Governour of that Garison for his Ma∣jesty, that he was made Judge Advocate and continued there till the surrender thereof for the use of the Parliament, shewing himself a prudent Judge for the King and a faithful Advocate for the Country. Afterwards being imprison'd at Yarmouth, where he continued in a lingring condition, and with little hopes of relief, drew up an Address to Oliver Cromwell written in such towring language and so much gallant reason, that upon his per∣usal of, he was so much melted down with it, that he forthwith ordered his release. Afterwards he retired to London, where find∣ing a generous Mecaenas setled in Greys Inn in Holbourne and be∣came much admired, if not adored, by all generous loyalists and ingenious Men. He hath written (1) Poems. Lond. in oct. there again with additions 1651. oct. and several times after. (2) Characters. (3) Orations. (4) Epistles, &c. Several times

also printed. At length an intermitting feaver seizing him, brought him to his grave in the Church of St. Michael Royal, commonly called College-hill Church within the City of London, on the first day of May 1658. Soon after were published seve∣ral Elegies on him, particularly that entit. Vpon the most ingenious and incomparable Musophilist of his time Mr. John Cleaveland. A living memorial of his most devotional Brother and cordial mourner. Printed at London on the broad side of a sheet of paper, an. 1658. 'Twas written by his Brother Phil. Cleaveland, who tells us there that the said John Cleaveland. died 28. April 1658. I have ano∣ther Elegy lying by me entit. An Elegy upon the death of the most excellent Poet Mr. John Cleaveland. Printed also on one side of a sheet of paper, in May 1658. It was written by Francis Vaux a Servitour of Queens Coll. in Oxon, of about 3 years standing, the same who printed A Poem in praise of Typography; which is all I know of him, as having taken no Degree in this Uni∣versity.

Bach. of Law.

June 26. Hen. Coventrie of Alls. Coll.—This honorable Per∣son who was the only Bach. of Law that was admitted this year, was a younger Son of Thomas Lord Coventry Lord Keeper of the great Seal of England, and was, as it seems, before the grand rebellion broke out Chancellour of Landaff. Afterwards suffering much for his Majesties Cause, was after the restauration of K. Ch. 2. made one of the Grooms of his Bedchamber, in Decemb. 1661. and in May 1667, he, with Denzill Lord Holles, went Embassadors extraordinary from his Majesty of Great Bri∣taine to Breda to consummate a certain Treaty there. In Sept. 1671, he went Embassador to Sweden (having been an Envoy extraordinary there, in 1664) at which time he gave his helping hand to the breaking of the Triple-league, and on the 3. July 1672. he was sworn Principal Secretary of State, in the room of Sir Joh. Trever deceased. Which honorable office he keeping till his body was much broken with business, to the beginning of the year 1680, resign'd it with his Majesties leave, and retired for health sake to Enfield for a time. Whereupon the place of Secretary was bestowed on Sir Liolin Jenkins Knight. At length Mr. Covencry giving way to fate in his house situated in the H••y∣market near to Charing-cross in Westminster, 5. Dec. 1686, aged

68 years or thereabouts, was buried in the Church of St. Martin in the Fields: which is all I can speak of him for the present, only that he was a native of London.

  • Coll.

The last of these two, who was Chaplain of that College, be∣came a florid Preacher in Oxon, during the time that the King and Parliament were there, and in June 1646, a little before the garrison of that place was surrendred to the Parliament, the Degree of Bach. of Div. was given to him by the venerable Con∣vocation, in consideration of several noted Sermons that he had preached before the Royal Court. But so it was that he never took that Degree, or had any thing conferr'd upon him, as o∣thers had, only the Vicaridge first of Comn••re, (which he soon after left) and afterwards the rectory of Wytham near Abendon in Berkshire. He hath translated from Greek into English The Loves of Clitophon and Leucippe, a most elegant History written in Greek by Achilles Tatius. Oxon. 1638. oct. in 7. books. There were two impressions of this translation made in that year, and in one of them are commendatory copies of verses made by seve∣ral Poets of the University, namely among the rest, by Richard Lovelace of Gloc. Hall, Franc. James M. A. of New College, John Metford B. A. of St. Edm. Hall. &c. Mr. Hodges hath published nothing else, tho very able he was in many respects to do it. For those that were his acquaintance, knew him to be a most admirable Philologist, a Man of a great memory, and well vers'd in several sorts of learning; but being delighted to please himself in a juvenile and banting way among junior Ma∣sters, could never be courted to set pen to paper for that purpose. He died in his lodging without the Turl-gate of Oxon, 13. Jan. 1685. aged 72 years or thereabouts; and was buried in the remo∣test part of the yard, joyning on the north side, to the Church at Wytham beforemention'd, and not near his sometimes Wife in the Church, because she had been dishonest to him.

In 1643 he was nominated one of the Assem∣bly of Divin••s, but whether he sate among them I know not, because he was forced by the giddy faction about that time to resign his cures at St. George in Botolph-lane and St. Gregory near Pauls, in London.

Lond. 1652. qu. who dying in 1657 was buried in the Chancel of the Church of Farlegh in Surrey, of which place he had for some time been Re∣ctor, which is all I know of him only that he was a Berkshire Man born, and had in his younger days been accounted a good Greek and Lat. Poet. The last (Buckner) was about this time Prebendary of Winchester and dying in 1644, was, I presume, according to his desire buried at the foot of his Vncle Mr. Adam Buckner in the Chancel of the Church at Merstham (in Surrey.)

Incorporations.

May 30. Nathaniel Wright sometimes M. of A. of Cambridge, afterwards Doct. of Phys. of Bourges in France, was incorpora∣ted Doct. of Phys.—What he hath extant besides his Theses de pluritide vera, printed 1635 in qu. I know not. He was after∣wards one of the Coll of Physicians, and Physician to Oliver Crom∣well when he was sick in Scotland, an. 1650. 51.

June 30. John Donne sometimes of Ch. Ch. afterwards Doctor of the Laws of the University of Padua in Italy, was then in∣corporated in the same Degree.—He was the Son of Dr. John Donne sometimes Dean of St. Pauls Cathedral, by his Wife Anne Daughter of Sir George More of Loseley in Surrey, was elected a Student of Ch. Ch. from Westminster School an. 1622. and had all the advantages imaginable tendred to him to tread in the steps of his vertuous Father; but his nature benig vile, he proved no better all his life time than an Atheistical Buffoon, a Banterer, and a Person of over free thoughts; yet valued by K. Ch. 2. He hath published certain matters written by his Father, and several frivolous trifles under his own name; among which is The humble petition of Covent-garden against Dr. John Baber a Physician, an. 1661. He died in the Winter-time an. 1662. and was buried under, or near, the standing dial situat and being in the yard, at the West end of St. Pauls Church in Covent-garden. On Feb. 23. an. 1662 was published or printed his fantastical and conceited will, on a broad side of a sheet of paper, wherein the humour of the Person may be discovered. There is no doubt, but that he was a Man of sense, and parts; which, had they been applyed to a good use, he might have proved beneficial in his generation.

July 5. John Nicholaus Vaughan a Cambra-Britaine, some∣times of Jesus Coll. in this University, afterwards Doctor of the Laws of Padua, was also then incorporated, having spent 10 years in the study of that faculty. He was the Son of Joh. Nich. Vaughan Esq.

10. John Brownlowe sometimes of Brasnose Coll. afterwards of St. Maries Hall, and at length (in 1631) Doctor of Phy∣sick of Leyden, was then taken into the bosome of this Uni∣versity.

Oct. 12. Daniel Brevint of the Isle of Jersey, Master of Arts of the Univ. of Saumare in France.

16. Antonius Aubertus Master of Arts of the University or Academy of Deinse. [Deia Augusta Vocuntiorum] The said Degree was conferr'd upon him there on the Ides of Septemb. 1619.

Nov. 7. George Ent Doctor of Physick of Padua.—This learn∣ed Person who was the Son of Josias Ent, was born at Sandwich in Kent, 6. Nov. 1604, educated in Sydney Coll. in Cambridge, was, after he had been doctorated, Fellow of the Coll. of Phy∣sicians at London, eminent for his practice during the times of Usurpation, afterwards President of the said College and at length had the Degree of Knighthood conferr'd upon him by King Charles 2. He hath written (1) Apologia pro circulatione sanguinis contra Aemilium Parisanum. Lond. 1641. oct. Where∣in he hath learnedly defended Dr. William Harvey against the said Parisanus, and rendred a very rational account concern∣ing the operation of purging Medicines, &c. (2) Animad∣versiones in Malachiae Thrustoni M. D. diatribam de respira∣tionis usu primario. Lond. 1679. oct. before which is his picture in a long periwig. What other things he hath published, I cannot tell, nor any thing else of him, at present, only that he dying 13. October 1689, was buried in a Vault under part of the Church of St. Laurence in the Jewry, within the City of London.

Dec. 6. Charles Vane Mast. of Arts of Saumaure.—He was a Cadet of the knightly Family of the Vanes of Fairelane in Kent; and being nearly related to Sir Hen. Vane, closed with the Faction, and in 1650 was sent Agent into Portugal by the Parliament of England.

Jan. 19. Thom. Temple Bach. of Div. of Linc. Coll. sometimes M. of A. and Fellow of Trin. Coll. near to Dublin, was then in∣corporated Bach. of Div.—The said degree he took there 18. June 1630, and in the beginning of March following he was li∣censed to proceed in this University, as 'tis before told you. This person, who was Brother to Sir Joh. Temple Knight, Ma∣ster of the Rolls, and one of his Majesties Privy Council in Ire∣land, continued not long in Linc. Coll. for upon the turn of the times in 1641, I find him in London to be a forward Preacher, and about that time Minister of Battersea in Surrey, afterwards a frequent Preacher before the Members of the Long Parlia∣ment, and one of the Assembly of Divines; which is all I know of him, only he hath certain Sermons in print which he preach∣ed before the said Members; one of which is entit. Christs go∣vernment in and over his people, before the H. of Com. at their Fast 26 Oct. 1642, on Psal. 2. 6. Lond. 1642. qu.

Creations.

Apr. 11. John Juxon an Officer belonging to the Lord Trea∣surer (qui ad cubitum summi totius Angliae Thesaurarii à computis est, as the Register hath it) was declared Bach. of the Civil Law by a Diploma then read and sealed.—He was nearly re∣lated to Dr. Juxon Bishop of London and Lord Treasurer of England.

Philip Warwick Secretary to the Lord Treasurer (qui ad cu∣bitum &c. ab epistolis est, as in the said Reg.) was also diploma∣ted Bach. of the Civ. Law the same day.—This noted person who was Son of Thom. Warwick Organist of the Abbey Church of S. Peter in Westminster, and he the Son of Thom. Warwick of Hereford, descended from the Warwicks or Warthwykes of War∣wick in Cumberland, was born in the said City of Westminster, educated in Eaton Coll. School near Windsore, and was for a time Chorister at Westminster. Afterwards he travelled into France, and was much at Geneva under the instruction and good coun∣sel of Deodatus the famous Divine. Thence returning into his native Country, with many accomplishments, became Secretary to the Lord Treasurer before mention'd, one of the Clerks of the Signet, and in 1640 was elected a Burgess for the Town of Radnor in Wales, to sit in that Parliament which began at West∣minster 3 Nov. the same year. But perceiving soon after, what desperate courses the Members thereof took, he retired to his Majesty, was with him at Oxon, and sate in the Parliament there, an. 1643, at which time and after, he had his Lodging in Vniversity Coll. and his Counsel much relyed upon by his Majesty. Afterwards he was one of the Commissioners to treat with those appointed by Parliament, for the surrender of the Garrison of Oxon an. 1646, and in 1648 he did attend his Ma∣jesty in his disconsolate condition in the Isle of Wight. In the times of Usurpation, he was involved in the same troubles, as all Loyalists were; but after his Majesties Restauration, being then fix'd in the Clerkship of the Signet, he became Secretary to Thomas Earl of Southampton Lord Treasurer of England, in which place he acted so much, and so dexterously, that he, be∣ing then a Knight, was usually called Sir Philip the Treasurer. This person tho he hath published nothing, yet he hath left be∣hind him several things fit for the Press, among which are (1) Memoirs or reflections upon the Reign of K. Ch. 1. in fol. (2) Of Government as examined by Scripture, Reason, and the Law of the Land: or, true weights and measures between Sovereignty and Li∣berty. fol. &c. He was esteemed by those that knew him to be a person of a publick spirit, above the riches and preferments of the World, and to be just in all his Actions, and needed not therefore that Character which a certain nameless Author* 1.208 gives of him thus, that he never lies more than when he professes to speak the sincerity of his heart. He died on the 17 of the Cal. of Feb. 1682, aged 74 years, and was buried in the Church at Chiselherst in Kent, where he had an Estate. I have seen an Epitaph made on him by Dr. Tho. Pierce, Dean of Salisbury, the first part of which runs thus, Cavesis tibi viator, ne legens, lugeas: nam cujus fidem veriverbio Carolus primus celebravit, (Carolusque secundus expertus est.) Nec majora quidem nec plura de se dici vo∣luit. Vir coelo natus, bonorum in terris desiderium, optimus veri aestimator, aequi b••nique tenacissimus Philippus Warwick, &c. His ••on and Heir was Philip Warwick Esquire, sometimes Envoy ex∣traordinary from his Majesty to the King of Sweeden, who re∣turning post thence, to the Court at Newmarket, in order part∣ly to take the last breath of his Father, died suddenly of an Apoplexy there in his bed, on Monday the 12 of March 1682.

The before mention'd Tho. Warwick, Father to Sir Philip, was also one of the Organists of the Royal Chappel belonging to K Ch. 1. and was so admirably well skil'd in the theory part of musick, that he composed a Song of forty parts, for forty seve∣ral persons, each of them to have his part entire from the other. This Song was performed before his Majesty about the year 1635, by forty Musitians, mostly belonging to his Majesty, and by some, to certain Churches, among whom Ben. Rogers of Windsore was one.

Apr. 17. Joh. Maplet of Ch. Ch. was then actually created Ma∣ster

of Arts, being about to take a journey to his Uncle in Hol∣land.— He is hereafter to be remembred as a Writer.

July 4. Hen. Killigrew of Ch. Ch. was actually created Master of Arts.—He is to be numbred hereafter among the Writers of this University.

Theodorus Vchtmannus of Groning was this year (in July) en∣tred a Student in the publick Library, where he studied the supream Faculty. He was afterwards Professor of the Hebrew Tongue at Leyden, and a publisher of several books.

Apr. 29. John Oliver of Magd. Coll.—This person who was a Kentish man born, and originally of Mert. Coll. was after∣wards successively Demy and Fellow of that of Magd. where his eminence in Learning and orthodox Principles in Religion being conspicuous, he was taken into the Service of Dr. Laud Archb. of Cant. and by him made his domestick Chaplain, and promo∣ted in the Church; but losing all in the time of the Rebellion, he was elected President of his Coll. in Apr. 1644, upon the ad∣vancement of Dr. Frewen to the See of Lichfield. In the latter end of 1647 he was turn'd out of his Presidentship, by the Com∣mittee of Lords and Commons for the reformation of the Uni∣versity of Oxon, and in the beginning of the next year, by the Visitors themselves in their own proper persons. So that af∣terwards living obscurely and in great hardship, wanted the cha∣rities which he before bestowed on the poor and the publick, be∣ing in a manner the object of charity himself. On the 18 of May 1660, which was about a fortnight before his Majesties Return, he was by the Authority of Parl. restored to his Presi∣dentship, and on the 22 of the said month he took possession thereof, being the first of all Loyal Heads that was restored to what they had lost in this University. Soon after he was by his Majesties favour nominated Dean of Worcester, in the place of Dr. Rich. Holdsworth, who died 1649; in which Dignity be∣ing installed 12 Sept. 1660, kept it to the time of his death; which hapning 27 Oct. 1661, was buried in Magd. Coll. Chap∣pel. This most learned, meek, and pious person, was strange∣ly desirous to leave this World, tho few alive had then such temptations to stay in it. That little which he had got since his Majesties return, he gave to pious uses, either to the poor, or reparation of Churches, viz. S. Pauls, Winchester (of which he was Prebendary) Worcester, and to his Coll. To which last his two immediate Predecessors Wilkinson and Goodwin, who were thrust in by the Parliament and Oliver for their Saintship and zeal to the blessed Cause, gave not a farthing, but rak'd and scrap'd up all that they could get thence, as the rest of the Saints then did in the University. Dr. Oliver left also a Legacy seal'd up in a paper to Sir Edw. Hyde then Earl of Clarendon and Lord Chanc. of England, sometimes his Pupil while he was in the University, for upon his motion it was that he was made Dean of Worcester, and Legacies to his Nephews, Neece (who had been kind to him in his wants) and Servants. There was some affinity between him and Tho. Oliver an eminent Physitian and Mathematician, (educated, as I conceive, in Cambridge) a practitioner of his Faculty at S. Edmunds Bury, where he died and was buried in 1624. The Titles of his Works you may see in the Oxford Catalogue.

June 13. Will. Mostyn M. of A. of S. Johns Coll. in Cambr.— One of both his names occurs Archdeacon of Bango•• in 1640. and whether he succeeded in that Dignity Edw. Hughes D. D. Rector of Woughton in Bucks, who died in Oct. 1633, I cannot yet tell.

Rob. Lesley a noble young man of great hopes, Son of Henry Bishop of Downe and Connor, and M. of A. of Aberdene in Scot∣land, was incorporated the same day.—The degree of Bach. of Arts was confer'd upon him in the University of Dublin 23 March 1636, and that of Master at Aberdene 16 July 1638.

Jul. 2. Rob. Price Doct. of the Laws of Dublin.—He was af∣terwards Bishop of Ferns and Leighlin in Ireland.

9. Edward Lane M. of A. of Cambridge.—This person, who was educated in Pauls School, and afterwards in S. Johns Coll. in the said University, became Vicar of Northstrobury in Essex by the favour of the Lord Keeper Coventry 1630, and was thence removed by the same hand to the Vicaridge of Spersholt near to Rumsey in Hampshire. He hath written Look unto Jesus: or, an ascent to the holy mount, to see Jesus Christ in his glory, &c. Lond. 1663. qu. and Mercy triumphant: the Kingdom of Christ enlarged beyond the narrow bounds which have been put to it by Dr. Lewis du Moulin, in his most antichristian book called Moral reflections on the number of the elect, &c. Lond. 1680. qu. In which year the Author Ed. Lane was living at Spersholt. The said Book was reprinted in the year following, with this title. Du Moulin's reflections reverberated, being a full answer to a pam∣phlet, entit. Moral Reflections on the number of the elect, to∣gether with several arguments about Transubstantiation, not in any Author yet. To which is added, An answer to Mr. Edm. Hick∣eringil's scurrilous piece, stiled, The second part of naked truth.

Will. Gorton Bach. of Div. of the University of S. Andrew in Scotland, was incorporated the same day.—He was now Vi∣car of Lower Gitting in Glocestershire.

Jul…. Thom. Mocket Mast. of Arts of Cambridge.—He was educated in Queens Coll. in that University, was about this time Minister of Holt in Denbighshire, and afterwards of Gildeston or Gildesden in Hertfordshire. He hath published certain Sermons, and Christmas, the Christians grand feast: its original, growth, and observation: Also of Easter, Whitsontide, &c. Lond. 1651. qu. besides other things.

Jul…. Edm. Calamy Bach. of Div. of Cambridge.—After he had left that University he became a Preacher in S. Edmundsbury in Suffolk, where, as a certain† 1.209 Anonymus observes, he com∣plyed with Bishop Wren the Diocesan, preach'd frequently in his surplice and hood, read prayers at the rails, bowed at the name of Jesus, and undertook to satisfie and reduce such as scrupled at those ceremonies. Thus the said nameless Author; yet Calamy himself saith* 1.210 that while he continued there, he never bowed to▪ or to∣wards, the Altar, never read the book of sports, never read pray∣ers at the high Altar, and that he preached against Innovations, &c. But so it was, let he himself say what he will that after he had continued 10 years at that place, and had complyed, as is before mention'd, Robert the puritanical Earl of Warwick usu∣ally said He would be lost if he were not taken off▪ and so removed him to Rochford in Essex: where continuing till the Long Parlia∣ment began in Nov. 1640, removed thence to London, and be∣came Minister of S. Mary Aldermanbury. About which time the Presbyterian growing dominant, he became a great Evange∣list of the new way, encouraged the people to Rebellion, was one of those that joyned in making Smectymnus, which was the first deadly blow in England given to Episcopacy (as divers thought) that had hapned for many years before. His house also in that Parish, was a receptacle then for all Presbyterian Ministers, and there was the Remonstrance framed against the Prelates, and all or most things hatched to carry on the blessed and beloved Cause. At that time he was a frequent Preacher be∣fore the Members of the Long Parliament, and he was the first that did openly defend before a Committee of Parliament, that our Bishops were not only not an order distinct from Presby∣ters, but that in Scripture a Bishop and a Presbyter were all one. Afterwards he was made one of the Assembly of Divines, took the Covenant, to which he closely stuck ever after; and was not wanting on all occasions to carry on the Cause, whereby he gained to himself not only a name and repute among the Brethren, but also wealth, which was the chief thing he looked after. After his Majesties Return in 1660, there were

••ome offers in private made to him of a Bishoprick, condition∣ally that he would conform, but made delays, thinking to enjoy that honorable Function as to be alter'd by the Kings Declara∣tion about ecclesiastical affairs, and to be used according to that Declaration, and not according to the antient Laws and Customs of the Land and Church. Wherefore he being uncer∣tain whether the Kings Declaration would stand, or pass into a Law, he delayed to see the certainty; and when he saw that the Declaration was dead, and Prelacy was as 'twas before, he utterly refused it. So that continuing in the said Cure of S. Mary Aldermanbury till S. Bartholomew's day in 1662, he was then ejected for Nonconformity. Notwithstanding which, he preached soon after in the said Church on a Sunday, and on the 28 of Dec. following, when then, among other dangerous passages, he said the Ark of God was lost, and the glory was depart∣ed from Israel. For which his contempt to the then late Act of Parliament for Uniformity, he was by virtue of the L. Mayor's Mittimus committed Prisoner to Newgate on the 6 Jan. 1662, where continuing for some time, Dr. Rob. Wild the Presbyterian Poet made and published a Poem on his Imprisonment, as did the Author called Hudibras. Most of the things that he hath written and published are Sermons: seven of which at least, were preached before the Long Parliament, as (1) Englands looking glass, before the House of Commons at their solemn Fast 22 Dec. 1641, on Jer. 18. 7, 8, 9, 10. Lond. 1642. qu. (2) Gods free mercy to England, before the House of Commons at their solemn Fast 23 Feb. 1641, on Ezek. 36. 32. Lond. 1642. qu. (3) The Noblemans pattern of true and real thankfulness, at a so∣lemn Thanksgiving 15 Jun. 1643, on Josh. 24. 15. Lond. 1643. qu. (4) Englands antidote against the plague of Civ. War, before the House of Commons at their Fast, on Acts 17. latter part of the 13 verse. Lond. 1645. qu. (5) An indictment against En∣gland because of her self-murdering divisions, before the House of Lords at their Fast 25 Dec. (Christmas day) 1644, on Math. 12. 25. latter part. Lond. 1645. qu. &c. Afterwards he pub∣lished The great danger of Covenant refusing and Covenant break∣ing, &c. preached before the L. Mayor, Sheriffs, Aldermen, Ministers, &c. of London, on 2 Tim. 3. 3. Lond. 1646. qu. Serm. at the funeral of Sam. Bolton; another before the L. Mayor, cal∣led The monster of self-seeking anatomized; five Sermons entit. The godly mans ark; or a city of refuge in the day of his distress, printed several times in tw. The eighth Edition of which was printed at Lond. 1683. The first Sermon was preached at the Funeral of Mrs. Elizab. Moore, to which are added her Eviden∣ces for Heaven; and the other four were preached on several occasions. Another Serm. to the native Citizens of London cal∣led The City remembrancer, in oct. Sermon at the funeral of Rob. Earl of Warwick, an. 1658. Sermon at the funeral of Simeon Ash an. 1662, and about the same time A farewel Sermon when he was to leave S. Mary Aldermanbury, &c. He hath also written A just and necessary Apology against an unjust invective, published by Mr. Hen. Burton in a late book of his entit. Truth still Truth, though shut out of doors, &c. Lond. 1646. qu. Also The art of divine Meditation, in oct. and A leading case, &c. At length ha∣ving lived to a fair age, gave way to fate in Octob. 1666, being soon after the grand Conflagration of the City of London, which hastned his end, but where buried, unless within the precincts of the Church of S. Mary Aldermanbury, which a little before was consumed by the said Fire, I cannot yet tell.

Fairfax, in Academical in Pembroke Hall in Cambridge, in the quality of a Gentleman Commoner; where he became a very early proficient in seve∣ral sorts of polite learning. In the times of Usurpation he lived in the Middle Temple, where he advanced his knowledge much by the Communication of his Kinsman Edw. Sherburne Esq; then lately returned from his Travels, became much deserving of the Commonwealth of Learning in general, and particularly honour'd for his smooth air and gentle spirit in Poetry, which appears not only in his own genuine Poems, but also from those things which he hath translated out of the ancient Greek, and modern, Itali∣an, Spanish, and French, Poets. His writings are (1) The History of Philosophy, containing those on whom the Attribute of Wise was conferred. Lond. 1655. fol. in three parts, with Stanley's Pi∣cture before them.

He left behind him a Son of both his names, edu∣cated in Pembroke Hall in Cambridge, who, when very young, translated into English Claud. Elianus his Various Histories.

Jul….. Thomas Philipot of Cambridge was incorporated after the Act time, as a certain private note tells me, but in what degree, unless in that of Master of Arts, I cannot yet find.—He was the Son of John Philipot of Kent, (Herald of Arms by the title of Somerset) by Susan his Wife only daughter and heir of Will. Glover, Brother to that most skilful Genealogist Robert Glo∣ver Somerset Herald, was educated in Clare Hall, commenced M. of A. and was by those that well knew him, esteemed a to∣lerable Poet when young, and at riper years well vers'd in matters of Divinity, History and Antiquities. He hath extant under his name (1) Elegies offered up to the memory of Will. Glover Esq; late of Shaldeston in Bucks. Lond. 1641. qu.

Isaac Basire D. of D. of Cambridge.—This learned Doctor who had that degree confer'd on him there, in July this year, and is stiled in the publick Register of this time Vir doctissi∣mus —ingenii & doctrinae ornamentis praeditus, was born in the Isle of Jersey, and was about this time one of his Majesties Chap∣lains in Ordinary, and soon after Archdeacon of Northumberland in the place of Ever Gower Bach. of Div. who had that dignity confer'd on him about 1640 by the ceasing of Will. Flathers Bach. of Div. collated thereunto 24 Nov. 1636. In the time of the Re∣bellion Dr. Bafire fled to Oxon, adhered to his Majesties cause, preached frequently before him and the Parliament there, and was an equal sharer in afflictions with other Loyalists. About the year 1646 he left the Nation and travelled into remote Coun∣tries, purposely to propagate the Doctrine established in the Bri∣tish Church, among the Greeks, Arabians, &c. as to the Island of Zante near Peloponesus, thence to Morea, where the Metro∣politan of Achaia prevailed with him to preach twice in Greek, at a meeting of some of the Bishops and Clergy. From thence, after he had travelled thorow Apulia, Naples and Sicily, (in which last place he had been once before) he imbarked for Syria, where, at Aleppo he continued some months, and had fre∣quent Conversation with the Patriarch of Antioch. From Aleppo he went to Jerusalem, and so travell'd all over Palestina. At Jerusalem he received much honor, both from the Greeks and La∣tins: from the last he procured an entrance into the Temple of the Sepulcher, at the rate of a Priest. Afterwards returning to Aleppo, he passed over Euphrates, and went to Mesopotamia. Thence to Aleppo again, and at length to Constantinople in 1653; in which year he designed to pass into Egypt, to survey the Churches of the Cophties there, and to confer with the Patriarch of Alexandria, as he had done with three Patri∣archs besides, partly to acquire the knowledge of those Churches, and partly to publish ours, quantum fert status. Afterwards he went into Transylvania, and was entertained by Prince George Rogoczi (or Rogotzi) the second, Prince of that Country, by whom he was entrusted with the Chair in the Divinity School. After the Return of King Charles 2. to his Dominions, he took his leave of that Country, then in broils, returned into England, took possession of his Archdeaconry, and was made Prebendary of Durham: which Dignities he kept to his dying day. He hath written (1) Deo & ecclesiae sacrum. Sa∣criledge arraigned and condemned by St. Paul, Romans 2. 22. Oxon. 1646. qu. Lond. 1668. oct. (2) Diatriba de antiqua ec∣clesiae Britannicae libertate. Brugis 1656. oct. The MS. of which being found in the Cabinet of John Lord Hopton after his decease, by Rich. Watson an exil'd Theologist for his loyalty, was by him published at Bruges. Afterwards the said Watson translated it into English, and put it out under this title The antient liberty of the Britannick Church, and the legitimate exemption thereof from the Roman Patriarchate, discoursed in four positions. Lond. 1661. oct. Dedicated by the said Watson by his Epistle dated from Caen in Normandy 12. Aug. 1660. to Sir Rich. Browne Clerk

of the Privy Council to his Majesty of Great Britaine, he sup∣posing then that Basire the Author had been dead in Transylvania. Three chapters or positions of which, were selected from a Latin MS. written by F. John Barnes of the order of St. Benedict, as I have elsewhere told you. (3) Letter to Sir Rich. Browne Resident at Paris for his Majesty of Great Britaine relating his travels and endeavours to propagate the knowledge of the doctrine and discipline, established in the Britannick Church among the Greeks, Arabians. &c. dated from Pera near to Constantinople 20.

of the benefactions and principal actions, &c. of Dr. John Cosin late Bishop of Durham. Printed with the former, together with An appendix of his profession and practice, and of his last will concerning religion. This Dr. Basire, who, without doubt, hath published other things, paid his last debt to nature in a good old age, on the twelfth day of Octob. 1676, and was buried in the Cemetery belonging to the Cathedral of Durham, near to the body of an antient servant that had lived many years with him, and not by that of his Wife in the Cathedral. In his Archdeaconry succeeded Will. Turner Rector of Stanhope in the County Palat. of Durham, M. of A. (afterwards D. D.) and sometimes Fellow of Trin. Coll. in Oxon, a younger Son of Dr. Tho. Turner, sometimes Dean of Canterbury.
