ATHENAE OXONIENSES: THE HISTORY OF THE Archbishops and Bishops Of the UNIVERSITY of OXFORD, FROM The Beginning of the Year MDCXLI. to the End of the Year MDCXC.

JOHN THORNBOROUGH sometimes [ 1] of S. Mary Magdalens Coll, was consecrated Bi∣shop of Limerick in Ireland, an. 1593, translated thence to Bristow 1603, and to Worcester in the latter end of the year 1616. He departed this mortal life in the month of July, in sixteen hun∣dred forty and one,* 1.1 under which year you may see more of him among the Writers, p. 1.2. In the See of Bri∣stow he was succeeded by Nich. Felton D. D. and Master of Pembroke Hall in Cambridge, consecrated thereunto on the 14 of Dec. 1617; where sitting about 15 months, he was translated to Ely, 14 Mar. 1618: And in the See of Worcester succeeded Dr. Jo. Prideaux, as I shall tell you elsewhere.

[ 2] BARNAB. POTTER sometimes Provost of Queens College, was consecrated Bishop of Carlile in the latter end of the year 1628, and died in the latter end of six∣teen hundred forty and one,* 1.2 under which year you may see more of him among the Writers, p. 6. Soon after his Bishoprick was given to the learned Dr. Jam. Usher Pri∣mate of Ireland, to keep in Commendam with Armagh in consideration of his great losses sustained in that King∣dom by the Rebellion that a little before that time broke out: The revenues of which, tho much abated by the Scotch and English Armies quartering there, as also by the unhappy Wars that soon after followed in England, yet he made shift to subsist upon it, with some other helps, until the Houses of Parl. seized upon all Bishops Lands: And tho in consideration of his great losses in Ireland, as also of his own merits, they allowed him a pension of 400 l. per an. in consideration for what they had taken away, yet he did not receive that sum above once, or twice at most: For the Independent Faction over-topping the Presbyterian, an end was put to the payment thereof. From the time of his death, which hapned in the latter end of 1655, the See of Carlile laid void till 1660, and then Dr. Rich. Sterne of Cambridge succeeded, installed or enthronized therein on the 4 of

Jan. the same year. The said Dr. Usher, a most reve∣rend man, famous for Religion and Literature through∣out Europe, an eminent Pillar of the Protestant Cause against the Papacy, and of the Commonwealth of Learning, died on Friday 21 of Mar. 1655, and on the 31 of the said month (1656) Oliver L. Protector sign'd a Warrant directed to the Lords of the Treasury for the sum of 200 l. to bear the charges of his funeral; which sum was paid to Nich. Bernard D. D. And this he did out of an honorable respect to the memory of so pious and learned a Champion of the Protestant Cause as he was. On Thursday the 17 of Apr. following, his body was conveyed from Riegate in Surrey, where he died, to S. George's Church in Southwark, at which place, about 12 of the clock, his friends and many of the Clergy met the corps and accompanied it thence to Somerset house in the Strand: where laying for some time, it was accompanied thence to the Abbey Church of S. Peter in Westminster, where, after the said Dr. Bernard had preach∣ed before the large Auditory a sermon, it was inter'd▪

GEORGE WEB or Webbe sometimes of University, [ 3] afterwards of Corp. Christi, College, was consecrated B. of Limerick in Ireland, an. 1634, and died in the latter end of sixteen hundred forty and one,* 1.3 under which year you may see more of him among the Writers, p. 7. In the See of Limerick succeeded one Rob. Sibthorpe Bishop of Kilfenore, mentioned in the first vol. p. 835, and in this p. 181.

ROBERT WRIGHT was born in the Parish of [ 4] S. Alban in Hertfordshire, and at 15 years of age, an. 1574, he was elected Scholar of Trin. Coll, and in 1581 Fel∣low, being then Bach. of Arts. Afterwards proceeding in that faculty, he took holy Orders, was made Rector of Sonning in Berks, of Hayes in Middlesex, Chaplain to Qu. Elizabeth, Doctor of Divinity, Rector of Borton on the water in Glocestershire, Canon Resid. and Treasurer of Wells, Chaplain in ord. to K. Jam. 1, and in 1613 the

first Warden of Wadham Coll, but resigned that office soon after, because he was not permitted to take to him a wife by Dame Dorothy the Foundress thereof. In 1622 he became Bishop of Bristow, was consecrated thereunto at Lambeth on the 23 of March the same year (Dr. Jo. Featley then preaching the Consecration sermon on Joh. 20.22.) but had not restitution made (a) 1.4 to him of the Temporalities of that See till the 4 of Apr. following. In 1632 he was translated to Lichf. and Coventry, the Temporalities of which he received (b) 1.5 on the 3 of Dec. the same year, at which time he gave up the Trea∣surership of Wells, which he kept in commendam with Bri∣stow. In Dec. 1641 when then he saw what mad work the Members of the Long Parliament made, and what farther they would do concerning the Hierarchy, he did, with eleven more Bishops, draw up a Protestation in behalf of themselves, against their unreasonable actions: which being first presented to the King, who refused to have any thing to do with it, it was transmitted to the H. of Commons, who thereupon impeaching the said Bishops of High Treason, they were all committed to custody, viz. ten of them, of which Lichfield was one, to the Tower, and two (Durham and Norwich) to the Black Rod; but before Lichfield was conveyed thither, he spoke an eloquent Speech at the bar of the H. of Commons, in answer for himself, which was afterwards printed in one sh. in qu. After he had continued Prisoner about 18 weeks to his great charge, he was released: Where∣upon retiring to Eccleshal Hall in Staffordshire, (the Seat belonging to his Bishoprick) which about that time was fortified for his Majesty, and kept for his service by Dr. Bird a Civilian, died therein in Jul. or Aug. in sixteen hundred forty and three,* 1.6 at which time the said place was besieged by Sir Will. Brereton and his Forces under the command of the Parliament; but where his body was buried, unless in the Cath. Ch. at Lichfield, which he de∣sired in his last Will. and Test. dat. 3 May 1643, I know not. On the 17 day of the said month of Aug. his Maj. nominated Dr. Accepted Frewen Dean of Glocester and President of Magd. Coll. to succeed the said Dr. Wright in the See of Lich. and Coventry, Dr. Will. Brough to be Dean of Glocester, and Dr. Joh. Oliver to be Pres. of Magd. Coll. The Reader may be pleased now to know that the said Dr. Wright having been much given up to the affairs of the world, he did in short time gather up so much wealth from the Church, as not only to pur∣chase the rich Mannour of Newnham Courtney in Oxford∣shire of Hugh Audley of the Inner Temple Esq. and Tho. Audley his brother for the sum of 18000 l. (which man∣nour they some years before had bought of the Pollards) but Lands also in other places. All which he leaving to his only son Calvert Wright sometimes Gent. Com. of Wadh. Coll, he proved so ill a husband, as to sell the said Mannour, some years before the restauration of K. Ch. 2, to John Robinson of London Esq. afterwards a Knight and Baronet, and Lieutenant of the Tower; in the Church of which place he was afterwards buried. As for Calv. Wright he died in a mean condition in the Prison called the Kings Bench in Southwark, in the Winter time 1666.

[ 5] WILLIAM LAUD sometimes Fellow, afterwards President of S. Johns Coll, was consecrated Bish. of S. Da∣vid in the Chappel belonging to the house of the Bishop of London, (with Joh. Davenant to Sarum and Dr. Val. Cary to Exeter) by the Bishops of London, Worcester, Chi∣chester, Ely, Landaff and Oxon, on the 18 of Nov. 1621, the Archbishop (Abbot) being then thought irregular for casual Homicide. Thence he was translated to Bathe and Wells, in Aug. 1626, thence to London in Jul. 1628, and at length to Cant. in Sept. 1633. He was beheaded on Tower-hill near London on the tenth of January,* 1.7 in six∣teen hundred forty and four, under which year you may see more of him among the Writers, p. 30.31. &c. The See of Cant. lying void till 1660, was then supplied by Dr. Juxon B. of London, as I shall elsewhere tell you.

[ 6]

MORGAN OWEN a Ministers son, received his first breath in Caermerthenshire, was admitted a Student in Je∣sus Coll. in the beginning of 1608, aged 23 years, and being afterwards made one of the Chaplains of New Coll. did, as a member thereof, take the degree of Bach. of Arts by the name of Owen Morgan, an. 1613, he being then a Preacher. In 1616 he was admitted M. of A, as

a Member of Hart Hall, was afterwards well beneficed in his own Country of Wales, and a useful man in the Church there. When Dr. Laud became B. of S. David he then knew the man and his zeal for the Church, and therefore when he became Chanc. of the University, he was by his endeavours actually created Doctor of Di∣vinity, as a Member of Jesus Coll. an. 1636. Soon after, that he might shew himself grateful to his Mother the Univ. of Oxon, he, at his own charge (being a rich man) enclos'd the south yard belonging to S. Maries Church with a fair free stone wall, and built also of the same stone (most curiously carved and engraven) the beautiful Porch leading from the high street into the said Church, with the image of our Lady and a babe in her arm, at the top of it. Which being finished about two or three years after, 'twas not only disgusted by the Puritan, and defaced by the Parliament Soldiers in the beginning of the Troubles, an. 1642, but laid in Laud's dish as an ar∣ticle against him at his Tryal, that he did oblige the said Dr. M. Owen to build it, permitted him as Chancellour of the University, and connived at all when 'twas finished. About the beginning of March 1638 he was elected Bishop of Landaff in the place of Dr. VVill. Murrey deceased, (who before had been B. of Kilfenore in Ireland) which electi∣on being (c) 1.8 consented to by the King on the 19 of the same month, he was soon after consecrated, but the day when I know not; and on the 9 of Apr. following the Temporalities of the said See were (d) 1.9 restored to him. In Dec. 1641, he was one of the Bishops that were impeached of High Treason for subscribing the Prote∣station mention'd before in Dr. R. VVright, and thereup∣on being committed Prisoner to the Tower, remained there till about VVhitsontide following. Afterwards he retired to his own Country, suffered there for his Loyalty and for being a Bishop, and one promoted by Laud; much about the time of whose death, this Dr. Owen died also. By his Will dated 14 Dec. 1644,* 1.10 and proved 12 of Dec. 1645, it appears that he was rich and possessed of several Lands, which went, I presume, to Morgan Owen his bro∣thers son. He endowed the Free-school at Caermerthen (where in his younger years he had taught) with 30 l. per an. charged upon the Impropriation of St. Ismaels in the said County, about which time the present Fabrick of the said School was erected.

THOMAS HOWELL elder brother to Jam. Howell [ 7] mention'd among the Writers under the year 1666, was born (e) 1.11 in Caermerthenshire, admitted into Jesus Coll. (of which he was Scholar and afterwards Fellow) an. 1604 aged 16 years or thereabouts, took the degrees in Arts, holy Orders, and became a painful Preacher in these parts for a time, and soon after elsewhere. Afterwards he was made Chaplain in ord. to K. Ch. 1, Rector of VVest Horsley in Surrey, of S. Stephens in VValbroke near London, D. of D. and Canon of VVindsore an. 1636 in the place of Dr. Tho. Horne deceased. But in the begin∣ning of the Troubles, he being forced thro vexation to leave S. Stephens (tho by many accounted a puritannical Preacher, and afterwards VVest Horseley, his Maj. there∣upon nominated him to the See of Bristow on the death of Dr. Tho. VVestfield, in July 1644, and soon after was consecrated at Oxon, Dr. Usher Primate of Ireland assisting then at the Ceremony. This worthy person, who was accounted a meek man and a good Preacher, died in sixteen hundred forty and six;* 1.12 whereupon his body was buried in the Cath. Ch. at Bristow, near to the entrance out of the south isle into the Choire. Soon after was a plain stone laid over his grave, but no inscription there∣on, only Expergiscar. One Mr. Thom. Howell published A sermon preached at the funeral of Sir Rob. Butler, an. 1622—3. Whether the same with him who was afterwards Bishop of Bristow I know not.

LEWES JONES was born in Merionithshire, became [ 8] a Student in this University in 15••2 or thereabouts, but in what house I cannot tell. In 1569, he being then Bach. of Arts, he was elected Fellow of Allsoules Coll. and about that time taking holy Orders, went, without the taking of any other degree in this University, into Ireland, where he was made Dean of Casshels, and after∣wards being nominated to the See of Killaloa in that

Country, was consecrated thereunto on the 23 of Apr. 1633. In 1641 when the rebellion broke out there, and great miseries followed thereupon, he retired to Dublin, where dying (f) 1.13 on the second of Nov. in sixteen hun∣dred forty and six, aged 104 years, was buried in the Church of S. Werburgh, commonly called S. Warborough, in the said City. In the See of Killoloa succeeded Dr. Edw. Parry, Father to John and Benjamin successively Bishops of Ossory, and after him succeeded Dr. Edward Worth, who dying at Hackney near London in the beginning of Aug. 1669, was buried on the sixth day of the same month in the Church of S. Mildrid in Breadstreet in London.

[ 9] GEORGE ANDREW received his first breath in a Market Town called Daventry, commonly Daintry in Northamptonshire, became a Batler of Magd. Hall in Lent term, an. 1588 aged 15 years or thereabouts, took the degrees in Arts as a member of that Hall, and about that time holy Orders. Afterwards journying into Ire∣land, he was made Dean of Limerick, and thence being advanced to the See of Ferns and Laighlin, was conse∣crated thereunto in S. Patricks Church (of which he was Chauntor) near Dublin, on the 14 of May 1635. In the beginning of the rebellion he was forced thence, and retiring to London, lived for some time there in an obscure condition. At length he giving way to fate in the month (g) 1.14 of Octob,* 1.15 in sixteen hundred forty and eight, was buried in the Church of S. Clement Danes with∣out Temple bar, within the liberty of the City of West∣minster. In his Bishoprick succeeded Robert Price, in the latter end of 1660, of whom mention shall be made hereafter.

[ 10] LANCELOT BULKLEY the eleventh Son of Sir Rich. Bulk. was born at Beaumarish in the Isle of Angle∣sie, entred a Communer of Brasn. Coll. in the begin∣ning of 1587, aged 18 years, where continuing till he was Bach. of Arts, translated himself to S. Edm. Hall, and as a member thereof he took the degree of Master in the same faculty, an. 1593. Afterwards he went into Ireland, became Archdeacon of Dublin, Doctor of Divi∣nity there, and at length Archb. of the said City; to which being consecrated in the Church of S. Peter at Tredagh, on the 3. of Oct. 1619, was soon after made by K. Jam. 1. Privy Counsellour of that Kingdom. He lived to be spectator of the miseries that befell that Realm, occasion'd by the rebellion that broke out in 1641, at which time securing himself in the City of Dublin, esca∣ped the malice of the Rebels, and lived in a disconsolate condition several years after. At length arriving to 82 years of age, departed (h) 1.16 this mortal life at Taulaughta, on the eighth day of Sept. in sixteen hundred and fifty:* 1.17 whereupon his body being conveyed to Dublin, was bu∣ried in S. Patricks Church there. In his Archbishoprick succeeded Dr. Jam. Margetson sometimes of Peter House in Cambridge, in the latter end of 1660, after the said See had laid void 10 years.

[ 11] JOHN PRIDEAUX Rector of Exeter Coll, and the Kings Professor of Divinity of the Univ. of Oxon, was consecrated Bishop of Worcester in the month of Decemb. 1641,* 1.18 and died in Sept. in sixteen hundred and fifty, under which year you may see more of him among the Writers, p. 68.69 &c. After his death, the See lay void till the restauration of K. Ch. 2. and then Dr. George Morley succeeded, as I have told you among the said Writers.

[ 12] NATHANIEL CONOPIUS a Cretan born, trained up in the Greek Church and became Primore to Cyrill Patriarch of Constantinople, who for his religious life and conversation had a respect for him. When the said Cy∣rill was strangled by the Visier, (the Grand Signior of the Turks being not then returned from the Siege of Babylon) Conopius to avoid the like barbarity fled thence and went into England, and addressing himself with credentials from the English Agent at Constantinople to Dr. Laud Archb. of Cant, that worthy person sent him to Balliol Coll, and allowed him a comfortable subsistance during his abode there. Afterwards he became one of the Chap∣lains or Petty Canons of Ch. Church, but whether he

took a degree in this University, I know not. In the beginning of Nov. 1648 he was expelled the Uni∣versity by the Barbarians, I mean the Parliamenta∣rian Visitors, and had nothing left to maintain him as a Scholar and Divine. So that because of the bar∣barity of such who called themselves Saints, he re∣turned into his own Country among the Barbarians and was made Bishop of Smyrna commonly called Le Smerne,* 1.19 about the year 1651. While he was in Oxon, he had a book of Musick laying by him, which as he (i) 1.20 said was of his own composition: And being well skill'd in that faculty, his Country••men in their Letters sent to, stil'd, him 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉; but the notes were such, as are not in use with, or understood by any of, the Western Churches. When he died, or what he wrot after he had left Eng∣land I know not. It was observed that while he conti∣nued in Ball. Coll. he made the drink for his own use called Coffey and usually drank it every morning, being the first, as the Antients of that House have informed me, that was ever drank in Oxon. You may see more of this Conopius in the Epistles of Ger. Joh. Vossius written to learned men, lately published, part 2. p. 145.

[ 13]

RICHARD PARR sometimes Fellow of Brasnose College was made Bishop of Sodor or the Isle of Man about the year of the Lord 1635, and dyed in the times of Usurpation, but the year when I cannot tell,* 1.21 tho se∣veral times I have sent Letters to know it. See more of him among the Writers p. 96. The See of Man laid void till 1662, and then in June Dr. Isaac Barrow being elected to govern it, was consecrated thereunto in K. H. 7. Chap. at Westm. on the 5. of July 1663, and not be∣fore, at which time his Nephew, Son of his Brother Tho∣mas, called Dr. Isaac Barrow Master of Trin. Coll. in Cambr. preached the Consecration Sermon. This wor∣thy and godly Bishop, who was Son of Isaac Barrow of Spiney-Abbey in the County of Cambridgeshire Esq, was educated in S. Peters Coll. commonly called Peter House in Cambridge, of which he became Fellow, but turn'd out thence by the Presbyterians an. 1643 or thereabouts: where∣upon going to Oxon, and his eminency being known there, he was made one of the Chaplains of New Coll, by the most loyal and generous Warden thereof Dr. Pink, where continuing till after the garrison of Oxon was surrendred for the use of the Parliament, shifted afterwards from place to place, and suffered with the rest of the loyal and orthodox Clergy till the most blessed return of K. Ch. 2. At which time he was not only restored to his Fellow∣ship, but also made one of the Fellows of Eaton Coll. near Windsore, which he held in Commendam with the Bishop∣rick of Man. In Apr. 1664 he was made Governour of the Isle of Man by Charles Earl of Derby, governed it piously and prudently, held that office all the time he was Bishop of Man, and sometime after his translation to S. Asaph. He was a great benefactor to the Island, especially to the Clergy, did collect by his great care and pains from pious persons one thousand eighty one pounds eight shillings and four pence, with which he bought all the impropriations in the Island from the Earl of Derby, and setled them upon the Clergy as every one had need. He ordered them all to teach School in their respective Parishes, and allowed 30 l. per an. for a Free-school, and 50 l. per an. for Academical learning. He got also one hundred pounds a year setled (which was like to have been lost) upon the Clergy, which was given by K. Ch. 2, and gave 135 l. of his own money, for a lease upon lands of twenty pounds a year, which is setled towards the main∣tenance of three poor Manks Scholars in the College at Dublin, that in time there might be a more learned Cler∣gy in the Island. He gave likewise 10 l. towards the making a bridge over a dangerous water and did many other good works there. Afterwards going into England for healths sake, and continuing in a house of the Coun∣tess of Derby in Lancashire called Cross-hall, he received the news of his Majesties conferring on him the Bishoprick of S. Asaph. See more of him in Hen. Glemham among these Bishops, under the year 1667. p. 670.

[ 14]

ROGER MANWARING was born at Stretton in Shropshire, educated in Grammar learning in the Kings School at Worcester under Hen. Bright, entred a Student

in this University in the beginning of the year 1604, and soon after was made one of the Clerks of Alls. Coll. After he had run through the usual courses of Logick and Philosophy, he took the degrees in Arts, being about that time, as I conceive, one of the Chaplains of that House. At length being made Vicar of S. Giles in the fields near London, he took the degrees in Divinity, and was made Chaplain in Ordinary to K. Ch. 1, before whom, while he was in his attendance at Oatlands, he preached two Sermons in July 1627, entit. Religion and Allegiance, on Eccles. 8.2. Lond. 1627. qu. and about the same time preached them at his Country cure. In the year follow∣ing, on the fourth of May, he preached on the same sub∣ject in his Church of S. Giles before mention'd; for which, as also for his former Sermons, he was the same year, June 14, censur'd in Parliament to be imprisoned, fined 1000 l, to make submission and to be disinabled to have or enjoy any preferment or office. At that time John Pym, a busie Man in the House of Commons, brought into the House a charge against him that he endeavoured to destroy the King and Kingdom by his Divinity, &c. On the 21 of the said month he made his submission, and in the next month following he was presented by the King to the rich rectory of Stanford Rivers in Essex (void by the promotion of Dr. Richard Mountague to the See of Chi∣chester) with license to hold it and his other Living with it. On the 9. of Jan. following he procured his pardon, which in the next month made some stir in the Session of Parliament that then was. In the month of May 1633 he was made Dean of VVorcester, in the place of Dr. VVill. Juxon promoted to the See of Hereford, where he made some alterations for the better in that Church; and in Dec. 1635 he was nominated Bishop of S. David, on the translation of Dr. Theoph. Field to Hereford. On the 28 of February following he was consecrated thereunto by Dr. Laud Archb. of Canterbury and his Assistants in the Chap. at Lambeth, where he sate till his function was si∣lenced. On the 22. Feb. 1640 were several complaints made against him in the Long Parliament, but not for the present prosecuted, because the members thereof were employed on greater matters. Afterwards the re∣bellion breaking out, he was imprison'd, violently per∣secuted from place to place, lost all his Spiritualities, and had only some small temporal Estate left to maintain him and his Family. He was a person that had some curio∣sity in learning, but greater zeal for the Church of Eng∣land: He was of a pious life and conversation, charita∣ble, and tho (with Sibthorpe) accounted a Sycophant by the Puritans, yet by the Royallists he was esteemed wor∣thy of the function of a Bishop. He finished his course at Caermerthen, after he had endured many miseries, on the first day of July in sixteen hundred fifty and three,* 1.22 and was buried in the Collegiat Church of Brecknock near to the high altar, leaving then behind him some things fit for the press, as I have been informed by one of his near Relations. It is said that he was much resolved on three things, 1. The redemption of Captives. 2. The conversion of Recusants. 3. The undeceiving of sedu∣ced Sectaries, and that he kept three diaries, one for the transactions of his own life, another for the publick af∣fairs of the Church and Kingdom, and a third for the remarkable passages of providence that hapned in the World. The see of S. David continuing void till after the restauration of K. Ch. 2, it was then supplied by Dr. Will. Lucy, as I shall tell you under the year 1677.

GEORGE SINGE alias Millington sometimes a Com. [ 15] of Balliol Coll, was consecrated Bishop of Cloyne in Ire∣land, an. 1638, and dying in sixteen hundred fifty and three,* 1.23 was buried at Bridgnorth in Shropshire. He is cha∣racterized (*) 1.24 to be Vir gravis admodum & doctus, praeser∣tim in Polemicae Theologiae & juris utriusque scientia, pro∣cerioris praeterea staturae, formae decorae & generosae con∣versationis, &c. See more of him among the Writers, p. 97.

[ 16] THOMAS WINNIFF a grave, learned and mode∣rate Divine, was born, as 'tis said, at Shirebourne in Dor∣setshire, admitted a Batler or Sojournour of Exeter Coll. in Lent term, an. 1593 aged 18 years, elected Prob. fel∣low thereof, 30 June 1595, admitted Master of Arts in

1601, and about that time entring into holy Orders, he became a noted Preacher and a Tutour. In 1609 he left the College, because he had an Ecclesiastical Benefice confer'd on him, but the name of it I know not, unless Lambourne in Essex, which he enjoyed many years, and at length bought the advowson thereof of Rob. Taverner Gent, which he afterwards by his will gave to his Ne∣phew Peter Mews. About that time he was Chaplain to Pr. Henry, and afterwards to Pr. Charles, which last he much displeased in two matters, first that in a certain harangue which he occasionally delivered in the begin∣ning of Apr. 1622 he compared (a) 1.25 Frederick King of Bohemia to a Lamb, and Count Spinola to a bloody Wolf, which also displeased the King; and secondly that in some little particulars, he expressed himself an enemy to his marriage with the Infanta of Spain. For these matters he had like to have lost his Spiritualities, had not his Maj. K. Jam. 1. highly valued him for his learning. In 1624 Nov. 10. he was installed Dean of Glocester in the place of Dr. Rich. Senhouse promoted to the See of Carlile, and after the said Kings death being made Chaplain to his Successor Ch. 1. had the Deanery of S. Pauls Cathedral confer'd on him, an. 1631. Afterwards upon the tran∣slation of Dr. Williams to York in 1641 he was nominated by the King Bishop of Lincoln purposely to please the Pu∣ritan, and was soon after consecrated. But the rebellion breaking out the next year, occasion'd by a prevalent party in both Houses of Parliament, who silenced the Bishops and caused their Lands to be sold, this holy Bishop received little or no profit from the Lands belonging to his See, only trouble and vexation as a Bishop. Afterwards he retired to Lambourne, spent there for the most part the remainder of his days and justly obtained this chara∣cter from a (b) 1.26 learned Bishop that none was more mild, modest and humble, yet learned, eloquent and honest, than Bishop Winniffe. He died in the summer time in sixteen hundred fifty and four,* 1.27 and was buried in the Church at Lambourne. Soon after was erected a comly monument over his grave, on which 'tis said, that he was made Bi∣shop of Lincoln 1642 Ex eorum numero Episcoporum, quibus incumbebat nutantis episcopatus molem, pietatis ac probitatis suae fulcimine sustentare, &c.

RICHARD SMITH sometimes a Student in Trinity [ 17] College, was made Bishop of Chalcedon by Pope Urban 8, an. 1624 or thereabouts, and died in the latter end of the year sixteen hundred fifty and four,* 1.28 under which year you may see more of him among the Writers, p. 114.

HENRY TILSON a Yorkshire man born, was entred [ 18] a Student in Balliol Coll. in the beginning of the year 1593, took one degree in Arts as a member of that house four years after, tho in the Fasti, 1596 I have said, by an errour, of Univ. Coll, and soon after was elected one of Skyrlawes Fellows of the said Coll. of University, and took the degree of Master as a member of that house. In Oct. 1615 he was made Vicar of Rachdale in Yorkshire, by the death of R. Kenion, and afterwards being made known to that most generous Count Thomas Earl of Strafford, he became his Chaplain, went with him in that quality to Ireland, when that Count was made L. Lieutenant thereof. Soon after he was by him made Dean of the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, (commonly called Ch. Ch.) in Dublin, where continuing in good esteem for his learn∣ing and piety, had the See of Elphine. confer'd on him, to which being consecrated on the 23. of Sept. 1639, en∣dured soon after great misery by the rebellion that broke out in Ireland 1641. Afterwards he retired to his native Country, setled at Southill hall in Yorkshire, spent there the chief part of his time, and dying (c) 1.29 in peace 31. of March in sixteen hundred fifty and five,* 1.30 aged 80 years or thereabouts, was buried in the Chancel of the neigh∣bouring Church of Dewsbury. In the said See of Elphine succeeded John Parker D. D. in the latter end of the year 1660.

NICHOLAS MONKE or Le Moyne, third Son of Sir Tho. Monke of Potheridge in Devonshire Knight, Son of [ 19] Tho. Monke of the said place Gent, by Frances his Wife

(Widow of Joh. Basset of Umbersley in the said County Esq.) Daughter of Arthur Plantagenet, natural Son of K. Edw. 4, by Elizabeth Lucy, as is suppos'd, his Concu∣bine, was born in Devonshire, either at Potheridge, or at Marton; at the last of which places his Father lived when this Nich. Monke came first to Wadham Coll, an. 1626 aged 17 years or thereabouts. After he had spent several years in that house in the condition of a Commoner, he proceeded in Arts in 1634, entred into holy Orders, was beneficed in his own Country, and suffered in the time of the rebellion as other Loyallists did. Afterwards he was permitted to keep some little cure by the endeavours of his Brother George while he was chief Commander under Oliver Cromwell in Scotland, was persecuted, as 'tis said, by the Triers appointed by Oliver, but at length had the Rectory of Kilkhampton in Cornwall worth 300 l. per an. bestowed on him by his kinsman Sir John Greenvill, (af∣terwards Earl of Bathe) which he freely gave him with∣out symony, purposely to oblige him to serve the pub∣lick when ever he had occasion to make use of him, he having then an eye upon his Brother George in Scotland, whom his family had obliged likewise. I say that this good benefice being bestowed on him, he was by his Bro∣thers interest fix'd therein and ready to perform what laid in his power to serve the interest of the Royal Family. In 1659 he agitated with his said Brother by Letters to, and soon after in Person in, Scotland in order to influence him for the restauration of K. Ch. 2. to his Kingdoms, be∣ing put upon it chiefly by the said Sir Jo Greenvill and some of the Gentry in the West who were of kin to Monke: So happy it was for his Maj. to employ the said Sir John, and so lucky for him to send his Clerk Mr. Monke thi∣ther, where he omitted nothing of his instructions, but prudently managed them, as may reasonably be inferred from the good effect they had. Thus did the sense of al∣legiance and the love of his Country prevail with his Bro∣ther against all hazards: And, if I should speak right the revenge of slights was some part (d) 1.31 of grain in the Scales. In the year following (1660) his endeavours and desires being effected, he was by the interest of the said Sir John, (minded thereunto by Gen. Monke) made Provost of Eaton Coll, in the month of June, then, or lately, enjoyed by Nich. Lockyer sometimes Chaplain to Oliver Cromwell lately Protect. In the beginning of Aug. following, he was actually created Doctor of Divinity, by vertue of the Kings Letters sent to the University for that purpose, and soon after being nominated by his Ma∣jesty to the See of Hereford, which had laid void for 14 years by the death of George Cook, he was consecrated thereunto on the sixth day of January (Epiphany day) in the Abbey Church of S. Peter at Westminster, by the Archb. of York, Bishops of Durham, Chichester, Lincolne and Pe∣terborough: But before he had enjoyed that See a full year, he concluded his last day in his Lodgings in the Old Pal∣lace-yard in Westminster, on the seventeenth of December in sixteen hundred sixty and one;* 1.32 whereupon his body was buried on the twentieth of the said month in S. Ed∣munds Chappel within the Precincts of the said Church of S. Peter. In the See of Hereford succeeded Dr. Herbert Croft, of whom may future mention be made, and of his works, as to learning.

[ 21] BRIAN DUPPA sometimes Fellow of Allsouls Coll, afterwards Dean of Christ Church, was consecrated Bi∣shop of Chichester, an. 1638, translated to Salisbury in 1641, and thence to Winchester in 1660. He conclu∣ded his last day in sixteen hundred sixty and two,* 1.33 under which year you may see more of him among the Writers p. 176. He was so bountiful in his Legacies to Ch. Church that the money might serve to found a new, and not to compleat an old, College. He left Legacies to Allsouls Coll, to the Cath. Churches of Chichester, Salisbury and Winchester, and erected an Hospital at his own charge in the place of his nativity, as I have elsewhere told you: Over the door of which may this be engraven That a poor Bishop vowed this House, but a great and wealthy one built it. In the See of Winchester succeeded Dr. George Morley, of whom I have made large mention among the Writers, under the year 1684. p. 581.

JOHN GAUDEN sometimes of Wadham College [ 22] was consecrated Bishop of Exeter in the Abbey Church of S. Peter in Westminster, on the 2. of Decemb. (being the first Sunday in Advent) an. 1660, and translated thence to Worcester (on Morleys going to Winchester) in the be∣ginning of 1662; in which year in Septemb. he died.* 1.34 See more of him among the Writers under the same year p. 207. In the said See of Worcester, succeeded Dr. John Earle, and him Dr. Rob. Skinner, as I shall tell you anon, under the year 1670.

ROBERT SANDERSON sometimes Fellow of Lin∣colne [ 23] College, was consecrated Bishop of Lincolne on the 28 of Octob. 1660, and died in the latter end of the year sixteen hundred sixty and two,* 1.35 under which year you may see more of him among the Writers p. 213. He was succeeded in the said Bishoprick by Dr. Benj. Laney Bishop of Peterborough, who after he had sate there four years was translated to Ely.

WILLIAM JUXON son of Rich. Juxon of Chichester, [ 24] son of John Juxon of London, was born, as 'tis said, with∣in the City of Chichester in Sussex, educated in Merchant Taylors School, became Fellow of S. Johns Coll. in 1598, and Bach. of the Civil Law in 1603, being about that time a Student in Greys Inn in Holbourne near London. Soon after he took holy Orders, and in the latter end of the year 1609, he was made Vicar of the Church of S. Giles in the north suburb of Oxon; where continuing about six years, he was much frequented for his edifying way of preaching. In 1621 he was elected President of his College, and in the next year he proceeded in the Civil Law. In 1626 and after, he did execute the office of Vicechancellour of this University, and in January 1627, he being then one of his Majesties Chaplains in Ordinary, he was made Dean of Worcester in the place of Dr. Jos. Hall promoted to the See of Exeter. On the 10. of July 1632, he was, at Dr. Lauds suit, (then Bishop of London) sworn Clerk of his Majesties Closet; which office was by that great person procured for him to the end (f) 1.36 that he might have one that he might trust near his Majesty, if he grew weak or infirm. In the beginning of the year 1633, he was elected Bishop of Hereford in the place of Dr. Franc. Godwin deceased, was about that time made Dean of the Kings Chappel, and on the translation of Dr. Laud to the See of Cant. (which was on the 19 of Sept. the same year) he was translated to London, that City being then in its height of giddiness and faction. About that time he was called to be one of his Majesties Privy Council, who, finding him to be a person of uprightness and justice, did confer upon him the great office of Lord Treasurer, on Sunday the sixth of Mar. 1635. Which office no Churchman had since Hen. 7 time, as Doct. Laud (g) 1.37 observes, who adds this, I pray God bless him to carry it so, that the Church may have honour, and the King and the state service and contentment by it. And now if the Church will not hold up themselves under God, I can do no more. In this office which he enjoyed till 1641 he kept the Kings Purse when necessities were deepest and clamours loud∣est, to the great content of all that had to do with him. In the time of the rebellion, began and carried on by the restless Presbyterians, he suffer'd as other Bishops did, was outed of the House of Lords with his Brethren, and lost the Lands belonging to his Bishoprick, as the rest did. In 1648 he had the honour and happiness, if it may be so called, to attend K. Ch. 1. of blessed memory in his most disconsolate condition, and to administer comfort, ghostly counsel and the Sacrament to him, and to be also present with him on the Scaffold, when he was beheaded before his own door by his most rebellious Subjects, to the great horrour and amazement of all the world. Af∣terwards this holy Bishop retired to his Mannour of Lit∣tle Compton in Glocestershire, near to Chipping Norton in Oxfordshire, where he spent several years in a retired and devout condition, and now and then, for healths sake, rode a hunting with some of the neighbouring and loyal Gentry. After the restauration of K. Ch. 2, he was tran∣slated to the See of Canterbury, on Thursday 20 of Sept. 1660, to the rejoycing of all those, that then loved or∣der in the Church. The solemnization was in the Chap∣pel of K. Hen. 7. at Westminster; where, besides a great

confluence of Orthodox Clergy, many persons of ho∣nour, and Gentry, gave God thanks for the mercies of that day, as being touched at the sight of that Good man, whom they esteemed a Person of primitive sanctity, of great wisdom, piety, learning, patience, charity and all apostolical Virtues. He died in his Pallace at Lambeth on the fourth day of June in sixteen hundred sixty and three,* 1.38 aged 81 years: whereupon his body being embalm∣ed, was conveyed to Oxon in great Pomp on the 7 of July following, where laying in state the next day, and part of the ninth, in the Divinity School, accompanied al∣ways by some of the Heralds of Arms, was then, (after an eloquent speech had been openly spoken by the Uni∣versity Orator in the Convocation house adjoyning, in praise of the defunct, and dispraise of the Presbyterians and Independents) conveyed in great state on mens shoul∣ders (the Heralds and all the Degrees of the University attending) through Catstreet, and so up the High-street to Quatervois, and thence, through the North gate, to S. Johns Coll. After it was placed in the Chappel there, an An∣them sung, a speech delivered near the grave by Mr. Will. Levinz, and the usual service for burial performed by Dr. R. Baylie the President of that College, the body was solemnly inter'd at the upper end thereof before the altar, in a grave wall'd with bricks, adjoyning on the south side to that then made, to receive the body of his Predecessor Dr. Will. Laud, which in few days after was there reburied. As for the benefaction of this worthy Arch-prelate Dr. Juxon (besides that to S. Pauls Cathedral, to the Arch∣bishops Pallace at Lambeth &c.) is mention made (h) 1.39 else∣where; and as for his estate, that which remained when all his benefactions were disposed, went to his Brothers Son, Sir Will. Juxon Baronet, now living at Little Compton before mention'd. This Dr. Juxon hath only extant one Sermon on Luke 18.31.

[ 25] HENRY HALL son of Thom. Hall sometimes a mem∣ber of Ch. Ch. in Oxon, (afterwards a Minister in the City of Wells, whence he was prefer'd by the Dean and Ca∣nons of Ch. Ch. to the Vicaridge of Marcham near to Aben∣don in Berks) was born in Somersetshire, particularly, as I conceive, in the said City of Wells, became a Batler of Linc. Coll, an. 1630, aged 16 years or thereabouts, and took the degrees in Arts. In the beginning of the rebel∣lion he became Chaplain to James Marquess of Ormonde in Ireland, by whose favour he was made Prebendary of Ch. Ch. in Dublin, and Dean of a certain Church in the said Kingdom. After the ill success and declension of the Marquess there, he return'd into England, lived for a time at Badmington in Glocestershire with the Marquess of Worcester, and in 1654 had the Vicaridge of Harwell in Berks, confer'd on him by John Loder of Hinton in the said County Gentleman: Where continuing till his Majesties restauration, he returned to Ireland, was actually created Doctor of Div. at Dublin, and on the 27 of January 1660, he was (i) 1.40 consecrated Bishop of Killala and Achon∣ry in the Church of S. Patrick near to the said City of Dublin. He gave way to fate on the 23 of July in sixteen hundred sixty and three,* 1.41 in the Bishops house at Killala, which he in a manner had rebuilt from the ground, and was buried in the Cathedral Church there; whereupon Thomas Bayly D. D. succeeded him in his Sees. Besides the said Hen. Hall, I find another of both his names, Bach. of Div. sometimes Fellow of Trin. Coll. in Cambridge, au∣thor of Heaven ravished, or a glorious prize, Fast Sermon before the H. of Com. 29. May 1644 on Matth. 11.12. Lond. 1644. qu. and of other things, as I suppose.

[ 26] ACCEPTED FREWEN the eldest Son of Jo. Frewen the puritanical Rector of Nordiam or Northiam in Sussex, was born (k) 1.42 in Kent, educated in the Free-school at Canterbury, became a student, and soon after a Demie, of Magd. Coll, about the beginning of the year 1604 aged 16 years; where making great proficiency in Logick and Philosophy, he was elected Probat. Fellow of that House about S. Mary Magd. day, an. 1612, he being then Master of Arts. About that time he entred into the sacred fun∣ction, and became a frequent preacher, as being purita∣nically enclin'd. In 1622 he attended in the Court of Prince Charles, while he was in Spain courting the Infanta,

and in 1625 he was made Chaplain in Ordinary to the said Prince then King. In 1626 he was elected Presi∣dent of his Coll, and in the next year he proceeded in Di∣vinity. In 1628 and 29 he executed the office of Vice∣chancellour of this University, and on the 13. of Sept. 1631, he being then, or about that time, Prebendary of Canterbury, he was installed Dean of Glocester upon the removal of Dr. George Warburton thence to the Deanery of Wells. In 1638. and 39, he, upon the sollicitations of Dr. Laud Archb. of Cant. and Chancellour of this Univ. (whose Creature then he was) did undergo the said office of Vicechancellour again, and on the 17 of August 1643, he was nominated by his Majesty to succeed Dr. Wright in the See of Lichfield and Coventry: But so it was, that the times being then very troublesome, he was not con∣secrated till the next year, that is to say on a Sunday in the month of Apr. following; at which time the solem∣nity was performed in the Chappel of Magd. Coll, by the Archb. of York, Bishops of Winchester, Oxford, Salis∣bury and Peterborough. But this preferment being then but little better than titular, because that the Hierarchy was about that time silenc'd, he retired to London, and lived there, and partly elsewhere, among his Relations for several years. At length after the restauration of K. Ch. 2, he was elected to the See of York on the 22. of Sept, translated on the 4. of Octob, and enthronized in the person of Tob. Wickham Preb. of that Church on the 11. of the same month, an. 1660. At that time the See of Lichfield being not supplied by another for about the space of an year, in expectation that Mr. Rich. Baxter would take it, (for the King intended it for him conditionally he would conform) Dr. Frewen had the benefit of that too, all the fines for renewing, and for the filling up lives, to his very great profit, besides what he got from York. At length Mr. Baxter the Coryphaeus of the Presby∣terian party refusing it, least he, in an high manner, should displease the Brethren, it was offer'd to Dr. Richard Baylie President of S. Johns College, and Dean of Sarum, who had been a very great sufferer for the Kings cause, but he refusing it because Dr. Frewen had skim'd it, it was there∣upon confer'd on Dr. John Hacket of Cambridge, as I shall anon tell you. This Dr. Frewen who was accounted a general Scholar and a good Orator, but hath nothing extant only a Latin Oration, with certain verses, on the death of Prince Henry, (for his Moral Philosophy Lectures are not yet made publick) died at his Mannour of Bishops Thorp near York,* 1.43 on the 28 day of March in sixteen hun∣dred sixty and four, and was buried on the third day of May following, under the great east window of the Ca∣thedral Church of S. Peter in York. Soon after was erected a splendid monument over his grave, with an inscription thereon; which being too large for this place shall now for brevity sake be omitted. His Father John Frewen be∣fore mention'd, was a learned Divine and frequent preacher of his time and wrot (1) Fruitful instructions and necessary doctrine, to edifie in the fear of God, &c. Lond. 1587 in tw. (2) Fruitful instructions for the general cause of reformation, against the slanders of the Pope and League, &c. Lond. 1589. qu. (3) Certain choice grounds and prin∣ciples of our Christian Religion, with their several expositions, by way of questions and answers, &c. Lond. 1621. in octav. and other things. He died in 1627, (about the latter end) and was buried in Nordiam Church, leaving then behind these Sons, viz. Accepted before mention'd, Thankful, Ste∣phen, Joseph, Benjamin, Thomas, Samuel, John, &c. which John seems to have succeeded his Father in the Rectory of Nordiham, but whether the said Father was educated in Oxon, I cannot yet tell. Qu. As for Dr. Hacket before mention'd who was an eminent person in his time for learning and a publick spirit, I shall now take this oppor∣tunity to speak at large of him, tho I have partly men∣tion'd him already in the Fasti under the year 1616. p. 824, and elsewhere in the first volume. Born therefore he was in the Strand near Exeter-house in the Parish of S. Mar∣tin in the Fields within the Liberty of Westminster, on the first day of Sept. 34. Elizab. Dom. 1592. His Father was Andr. Hacket of Putferin in Scotland, a senior Burgess of the City of Westminster, and afterwards of the Robes to Prince Henry, who, being a zealous Protestant, took great care to breed up this his only Son to that religion. When he was very young therefore, he put him to the Coll. School at Westminster, and his Master Mr. Ireland finding in him a great propensity to learning, was very kind to him, as also was Dr. Lanc. Andrews the Dean of the Ch.

there, who, in the necessary absence of the Master, be∣ing accustomed to come into the School and examine the boys, took this youth into his particular favour, and con∣tinued it to him, as long as the Bishop lived. Being made ripe for the University, he was in the year 1608 (with the pious Mr. George Herbert) elected to go to Trinity Coll. in Cambridge, by the favour of Dr. Tho. Nevill Master of that Coll, (who told his Father when he addressed to him about his Son, that he should go to Cambridge, or else he would carry him upon his back) and being there entred he was put under the tuition of Dr. Edw. Simson author of Chronicon ab exordio mundi, &c. Soon after he was so much noted for his painful studies, sober life, and great profi∣ciency in learning, that he was elected Fellow of that House assoon as he was by the rules thereof fit for the same. Afterwards he grew into that credit that he had many Pupils put to his charge and those of the best fami∣lies in England, and then betaking himself to the study of Divinity, he took holy Orders in 1618 from the hands of Dr. John King B. of London, who had a great affection for him, and expressed the same on divers occasions; but above all others Dr. John Williams Bishop of Linc, observ∣ing his great learning, and knowledge in the Tongues, chose him his Chaplain immediatly after the Great Seal was committed to his charge, an. 1621. Two years he spent in that Bishops service before his time was come to commence Bach. of Divinity, and then beg'd leave to go to Cambridge to keep the publick Act, an. 1623, which he performed according to expectation; and then return∣ing to Court to his Master, he prefer'd him to be Chap∣lain to K. Jam. 1, before whom he preaching several times to that learned Prince's good liking, he was the next year, by the recommendations of his Master, presented to the Church of S. Andrew in Holbourn near London, (then with∣in his Majesties disposal by reason of the minority of Tho∣mas Earl of Southampton) and suddenly after, he was by the same means made Parson of Cheame in Surrey, fallen likewise in his Majesties gift by the promotion of Dr. Ric. Senhouse to the Bishoprick of Carlile: which two Livings he held till the most execrable rebellion broke out in 1642, and was constantly resident upon one of them. In 1628 he commenced Doct. of Div. at Cambridge, where he preached a Sermon highly applauded by the learned au∣ditory of that time: And returning to Holbourne and his duty there, he became very famous for excellent preach∣ing, and decent order in his charge. In 1631 his old Master the Bishop of Lincoln gave him the Archdeaconry of Bedford void by the death or resignation of Nich. Wal∣ker D. D. who had succeeded therein one George Eland an. 1629. To which charge he usually went once in a year (commonly after Easter) and exhorted the Clergy thereof to keep strictly the Orders of the Church. After∣wards finding his Church of S. Andrew in Holbourne much in decay, he eagerly sollicited his great friends and ac∣quaintance to contribute to its reedification or at least re∣pair, and about the year 1639 he had obtained divers thou∣sands of pounds for that purpose; but the unparalell'd re∣bellion following soon after, the members of the Long Parliament (mostly a prevalent party of Presbyterians) did seize on that, and all the money, collected for the re∣pair of St. Pauls Cathedral in London to carry on their re∣bellion against their King. In the beginning of the Ci∣vil War, he was named one of the Committee, with di∣vers eminent Bishops and Pastors, to consider of what was amiss in the English Liturgy and Church government and to rectifie the same, in hopes by that means to expel the cloud then appearing over the Church; but the Lords and Commons dash'd that good intent by passing a Bill for taking away the Government of the Church by Bi∣shops: Yet before the passing thereof, the Clergy being allowed liberty to speak for themselves, they all with one consent made the said Dr. Hacket their mouth to speak their sense of the matter; which being the next day per∣form'd with general applause of all, except those that no∣thing could please, it did for the present put a stop to that Bill; yet soon after by a new question it past, without a second hearing of the learned Doctor. Afterwards, he being silenced by them at S. Andrews in Holbourne, he re∣tired to Cheame, where he also used the Liturgy till for∣bidden by the Parliament. Afterwards he suffered by imprisonment by the Army under Robert Earl of Essex when they went to fight against their King, and being released he retired to Cheame, which he kept during the times of Usurpation. After his Maj. restauration, the

Bishoprick of Gloc. was offer'd to him, but he refusing it, the then L. Chanc. made advantage of it and caused it to be confer'd on Dr. Nicolson. Afterwards being made B. of Lichfield and Cov. as I have before told you, as also in the Fasti, an. 1616, he repaired to Lichf. in the Spring time, an. 1662 and finding the Cathedral there quite ruined in the time of the most wicked rebellion, he set himself to the rebuilding thereof and finished the same in about eight years time, making it far more beautiful than it was be∣fore, with the expence of 20000 l, a thousand of which he had of the Chapter, and the rest was of his charge and of his procuring from Benefactors. On Christmas Eve in 1669 the said Cathedral was dedicated by him with the usual ceremonies required in such a matter, and in feast∣ing three several parties of men for three days. He also laid out a 1000 l. in repairing the house of his residence there, that of his predecessors having been destroyed in the time of the said rebellion, and did much endeavour to settle a pious and laborious Clergy in his Diocess, by his own example of constant preaching. This worthy Bishop died on the 28 of Oct. 1670, and was buried in his own Cathedral, where is a very noble and conspicuous monument over his grave, erected by his Son Sir Andrew Hacket of Moxhull in Warwickshire, sometimes one of the Masters in Chancery. After his death were A century of Sermons, that had been preached by the said Bishop pub∣lished, with his life written at large, set before them, by Thomas Plume D. D. of Cambridge, afterwards Archdeacon of Rochester.

WILLIAM BAYLY a Scotch man born, obtained [ 27] most of his learning in the University of Glascow, com∣pleated it in this University of Oxon, returned to his na∣tive Country, but outed thence by the Covenantiers. Af∣terwards, if I mistake not, he went into Ireland, whence being driven by the rebellion that broke out in 1641, re∣tired to Oxon, where his Majesty K. Ch. 1. had taken up his head quarter, and was by his Maj. command actually created Doctor of Div. in Feb. 1642. In the next year Rob. Dawson Bach. of Div. and Bishop of Clonfort and Kil∣macogh in Ireland departing this mortal life at Kendal in Westmorland, (the place of his nativity) his Majesty was pleased to grant the said Bishopricks to Dr. Bayly before mention'd. Whereupon being consecrated at Oxon on the second day of May 1644, by Dr. Usher Archbishop of Armagh and two Irish Bishops, sate there, without any translation to another See, till the time of his death; which hapning (l) 1.44 at Clonfort before mention'd, on the eleventh day of Aug, in sixteen hundred sixty and four, was bu∣ried in the Cathedral Church there.* 1.45 In the said Sees of Clonfort and Kilmacogh succeeded Edw. Wolley Doctor of Divinity, of whom I shall make mention in the Fasti, among the created Doctors of Div. an. 1642.

WILLIAM PAUL a person of good parts and well [ 28] vers'd in Ecclesiastical and Civil Laws, was born in East∣cheap within the City of London, became a student in this University an. 1614, aged 15 years or thereabouts, and soon after one of the Clerks of Allsouls Coll. About Allsaints time in 1618 he was elected Fellow of the said house, and after he had proceeded in Arts he took holy Orders, and preached frequently in these parts. In 1632, he being then Rector of Brightwell alias Baldwin Brightwell near Watlington in Oxfordshire, he proceeded in Divinity, an∣swered the Divinity Act with general satisfaction, was about that time made one of the Chaplains to his Majesty K. Ch. 1. and afterwards Residentiary of Chichester. A little before the rebellion broke out, he preached a Sermon at the Episcopal Visitation of Dr. Bancroft B. of Oxon on Acts 17.22. Then Paul stood up in the midst of Mars hill, and said, ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious. In the time of the rebellion he did suffer in some part for his loyalty, and therefore upon his Majesties restauration an. 1660 he was made one of his Chaplains, and Dean of Lichfield in the place of Dr. Griff. Higgs who died the year before. Afterwards being esteem∣ed wealthy, and knowing in secular affairs, he was by the endeavours of Dr. Sheldon Archb. of Cant. (somtimes his fellow Collegiat) promoted to the See of Oxford, up∣on the translation of Skinner to Worcester, in hopes that he would rebuild the Bishops Pallace at Cudesden: And

having in part promised so to do, he had liberty allow'd him to keep the rectory of Brightwell before mention'd, and the rich rectory of Chinnor in Oxfordshire (which he some years before had obtained) in Commendam with his Bishoprick. Soon after being consecrated, but the day when I know not, and installed or enthronized on the 7 of January 1663, he bought, and laid in at Cudesden a considerable quantity of timber, but before any thing else could be done in the matter, he died; which hapning at Chinnor on the 24 of May in sixteen hundred sixty and five,* 1.46 his body was conveyed to Brightwell before mention'd and buried in the Chancel of the Church there. Soon after was a comly monument set up against the wall, over his grave, at the charge of his disconsolate Widow, the beginning of which is this. Posteris & aeternitati sacrum. Hic subtus conduntur sacrae (heu quantillae) viri magni reli∣quiae Gulielmi Paul, infans ad magna natus Londini, an. 1599. Clarus olim ex virtute suâ quam ex urbe nomen habiturus, &c. In the See of Oxon succeeded Walt. Blandford D. D. as I shall tell you elsewhere.

[ 29] ROBERT PRICE the fourth Son of John Price of Runasse in Merionithshire Esq, was born there, or in that County, educated in Westminster School, elected Student of Ch. Ch. an. 1625, aged 18 years, took one degree in Arts, entred upon the Law line, and was adm. Bach. of that faculty in 1632. Afterwards he took upon him the sacred function, was made Chaplain to the most noble Thomas Earl of Strafford, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, who gave him the Deanery of Connor in that Kingdom, at which time he was esteem'd well vers'd in the Ecclesia∣stical Laws. On the 30 of Apr. 1639 he was admitted Doctor of the Laws of the University of Dublin, and going soon after into England, was incorporated Doctor of that faculty at Oxon. In the time of the rebellion in Ireland he lost all there, and suffer'd much for the royal cause, but being restored to what he had lost after his Majesties return, was, in requital of his sufferings, made Bishop of Fernes and Laighlin in the said Kingdom; to which Sees being consecrated (*) 1.47 in the Cathedral Church of S. Patrick on the 27 of January 1660, sate there to the time of his death,* 1.48 which hapned in sixteen hundred sixty and five, as I have been informed by one of his successors in the said Sees named Dr. Narcissus Marsh, now Archb. of Cashiells, who also told me that Dr. Rich. Boyle succeed∣ed Dr. Price in those Sees.

[ 30] JOHN EARLE sometimes Fellow of Merton Coll, af∣terwards Dean of Westminster, was consecrated Bishop of VVorcester (on the death of Gauden) in the latter end of Nov. 1662, and thence translated to Salisbury in the lat∣ter end of Sept. an. 1663. He died in Nov. in sixteen hundred sixty and five;* 1.49 under which year you may see more of him among the Writers, p. 251. In VVorcester succeeded Dr. Skinner, and in Salisbury Dr. Hyde, as I shall tell you hereafter.

[ 31] GEORGE WILDE sometimes Fellow of S. Johns Coll. was consecrated in S. Patricks Church near Dublin Bishop of London-Derry in Ireland on the 27. of January 1660, by John Archb. of Armagh, Griffin Bishop of Ossory and Robert B. of Kilmore. He departed this mortal life in the month of Decemb. in sixteen hundred sixty and five,* 1.50 under which year you may see more of him among the Writers, p. 252. In the said See succeeded Robert Moss••m author of The Preachers Tripartite in 3 books, &c. and him Dr. Mich. Ward, and him Dr. Ezek. Hopkins.

[ 32] JOHN WARNER sometimes Fellow of Magd. Coll, was consecrated Bishop of Rochester in January 1637, (the temporalities of which See were (m) 1.51 delivered to him on the 30 of the said month) and died in Octob. in sixteen hundred sixty and six,* 1.52 under which year you may see more of him among the writers, p. 258. In the said See succeeded John Dolben D. D, of whom I have made mention among the said Writers.

[ 33] GEORGE GRIFFITH sometimes Student of Christ Church was consecrated Bishop of S. Asaph in the latter end of Octob. 1660, and died in sixteen hundred sixty and six;* 1.53 under which year you may see more of him

among the Writers, p. 270. He succeeded in the said See, after it had laid void 9 years, one Dr. Joh. Owen of Cambridge, of whom I have made mention in the first vol. of this work p. 628. But whereas I have said there that he was author of Herod and Pilate reconciled, &c. which I took from Mercurius Publicus, published 4. June 1663, wherein 'tis said that Dr. Owen late Bishop of S. Asaph was the author, it proves an errour, for David Owen was the writer of it, as I have told you in the said vol, in the Fasti p. 803, wherein the first part of the ti∣tle is omitted, for whereas the title there, is, The concord of a Papist and Puritan for the coercion, deposition and kil∣ling of Kings, it should be Herod and Pilate reconciled: or the concord of a Papist, &c. Camb. 1610. qu, reprinted un∣der Dr. John Owens name in 1663, and so it was put in the said News book called Merc. Pub. which caused the errour by me made.

ALEXANDER HYDE fourth Son (n) 1.54 of Sir Lau∣rence [ 34] Hyde of Salisbury Knight, second Son of Laur. Hyde of Gussage S. Michael in Dorsetshire, third Son of Robert Hyde of Northbury in Cheshire, was born in S. Maries Pa∣rish within the said City of Salisbury, educated in Wyke∣hams School near Winchester, admitted perpetual Fellow of New Coll, after he had served two years of Proba∣tion, an. 1617 aged 20 years or thereabouts, and took the degrees in the Civil Law, that of Doctor being com∣pleated in 1632. In the month of May 1637 he was made Subdean of Salisbury on the death of Giles Thornborough, and on the 5 of Jan. 1638 he was collated to the Pre∣bendship of South Grantham in the said Church, upon the resignation of Dr. Humph. Henchman, he being then pos∣sest of a Benefice elsewhere. What were his sufferings in the time of the rebellion, (if any), or his merits after∣wards, to be advanced to a Bishoprick, let others speak, while I tell you that after his Majesties restauration, he was by the endeavours of his kinsman Sir Edw. Hyde Lord Chanc. of England, not only made Dean of Winchester, an. 1660, in the place of Dr. Joh. Yonge some years before dead, (who had succeeded in that Deanery Dr. Thomas Morton, an. 1616) but also advanced upon the death of Dr. Joh. Earle to the See of Salisbury: To which receiv∣ing consecration in New Coll. Chappel, 31. Dec. 1665 (the K. and Qu. with their Courts being then in Oxon) from the Hands of the Archb. of Cant, assisted by the Bishops of Winchester, Gloc, Peterb, Limerick and Oxon) enjoyed it but a little while to his detriment. In his Dean∣ery succeeded Will. Clark D. D. of Cambridge, who dying in the Parish of S. Giles in the Fields near London, Rich. Meg∣got D. D. of Qu. Coll. in Cambridge, Canon of Windsore, Rector of S. Olaves in Southwark and Vicar of Twitten∣ham in Middlesex, was installed in his place, 9. Oct. 1679. As for Dr. Hyde, he died to the great grief of his Rela∣tions,* 1.55 on the 22 day of August in sixteen hundred sixty and seven aged 70 years, and was buried in the South isle near the Choir of the Cath. Church of Salisbury. Af∣terwards was a black marble stone laid over his grave, with an inscription thereon, the beginning of which is this. Siste viator, hac itur in patriam hisce vestigiis in coe∣lum, &c. His eldest Brother Laur. Hyde Esq, was of Heale, near Salisbury, whose Widow Mrs. Mary Hyde did for a time conceal in her house there, K. Ch. 2. in his flight from Worcester battle, an. 1651, when then he removed incognito from place to place till he could obtain a passage over Sea into France. The next was Sir Rob. Hyde, who, by the endeavours of his kinsman Sir Edw. before men∣tion'd, was made Lord Chief Justice of the Common pleas. He died suddenly on the Kalends of May 1665 aged 70, and was buried in the said Isle. Soon after was erected on the wall, near his grave, a splendid monument with his bust in white marble, and a large inscription thereon beginning thus. H. S. E. ordini par paterno, fraternoque Ro∣bertus Hyde Eq. aur. Laurentii Hyde militis filius secundus, &c. Another Brother he had called Sir Hen. Hyde, who adheering to his Maj. K. Ch. 2 in his exile, was by him sent Ambassador to the Grand. Seignior at Constantinople, and demanding audience in his name, he was (by bribes given) delivered to some of the English Merchants there, who shipping him in the Smyrna Fleet, was conveyed into England. Soon after he being committed to the Tower of London, he was brought before the High Court of Justice,

where he desired to plead in the Italian Language, which, he said, was more common to him than the English. But it being denied him, he was at length condemned to die: whereupon he lost his head on a Scaffold erected against the Old Exchange in Cornhill, on the fourth day of March an. 1650. It was then said by the faction in England, that he did, by vertue of a Commission from Charles Stu∣art as K. of Great Britaine, act in the quality of an Agent to the Court of the Great Turk, with intent to destroy the trade of the Turkey Company, and the Parliaments in∣terest, not only in Constantinople, but also in Mitylene, Anatolia and Smyrna. That also he had a Commission to be Consul in that matter, with an aim likewise to seize upon the Merchants goods for the use of Charles King of Scots: For the effecting of which design, he presumed to discharge Sir Tho. Bendish of his Embassie, being Leiger there for the state of England, &c. The said faction al∣so reported, and would needs perswade the People in England, that those that abetted Sir H. Hyde at Smyrna had the heavy hand of judgment fell upon them. This Sir Hen. Hyde after his decollation, was conveyed to Salisbury and buried there in the Cathedral among the graves of his Relations. Another Brother, younger than him, was Edward Hyde D. D sometimes Fellow of Trin. Coll. in Cambridge, and afterwards Rector of Brightwell near Wallingford in Berkshire: From which being ejected in the time of Usurpation, he retired with his Wife and Children to Oxon, and hiring an apartment within the precincts of Hart Hall, lived there several years, studied frequently in Bodlies Library, and preached in the Church of Halywell in the suburbs of Oxon to the Royal Party, till he was silenc'd by the Faction. In 1658 he obtained of his exil'd Majesty by the endeavours of Sir Edw. Hyde before mention'd his kinsman, (then, tho in banishment, Lord Chancellour of England) Letters Patents for the Deanery of Windsore (in the place of Dr. Chr. Wren de∣ceased) dated in July the same year; but he dying at Salisbury of the Stone, a little before the restauration of K. Ch. 2, he was never installed in that Dignity. He hath written and published several books which were ta∣ken into the hands of, and perused by, the Royal Party, as (1) A Christian ••egacy, consisting of two parts: prepara∣tion for and consolation against death. Lond. 1657. oct. (2) Christ and his Church: or, Christianity explained, under seven Evangelical and Ecclesiastical heads Oxon. 1658. qu. (3) Vindication of the Church of England. Ibid. 1658. qu. (4) Christian vindication of truth against errour. Printed 1659. in tw. (5) The true Catholick tenure, &c. Cambr. 1662. oct. and other things, as you may see in Joh. Ley among these Writers, an. 1662. Another Brother, the tenth in number, was Sir Frederick Hyde Knight, the Queens Ser∣jeant, an. 1670, and one of the chief Justices of South Wales, who dyed in 1676. Also another called Francis, who was Secretary to the Earl of Denbigh Embassador, and died at Venice without issue. And among others must not be forgotten Dr. Thomas Hyde Fellow of New Coll, afterwards Judge of the Admiralty, and also the eleventh and youngest Brother of them all, named James Hyde, Dr. of Physick, lately Principal of Magd. Hall.

HUGH LLOYD was born in the County of Car¦digan, [ 35] became a Servitour or poor Scholar of Oriel Coll. an. 1607 or thereabouts, took the degrees in Arts, translated himself to Jesus Coll, of which I think he be∣came Fellow, and in 1638 he proceeded in Divinity, being about that time Archdeacon of S. David and well bene∣ficed in his own Country. In the times of Usurpation and Rebellion he suffered much for the Kings cause, was ejected and forced to remove from place to place for his own security: In consideration of which and his episco¦pal qualities, he was consecrated to the See of Landaffe on the second day of Decemb. (being the first Sunday of that month) an. 1660, by the Archb. of York, Bishops of London, Rochester, Salisbury and Worcester: at which time six other Bishops were also consecrated. He died in June or July,* 1.56 in sixteen hundred sixty and seven, and was, as I suppose, buried at Matherne in Monmouthshire, where the House or Pallace pertaining to the Bishop of Landaff is situated. In the said See succeeded Dr. Francis Davies, as I shall tell you elsewhere.

JEREMY TAYLOR originally of the University of [ 36] Cambridge, afterwards Fellow of Allsouls Coll. in this Uni∣versity, was consecrated Bishop of Downe and Conner in

Ireland, an. 166••,* 1.57 and died in Aug. in sixteen hundred sixty and seven; under which year you may see more of him among the Writers, p. 282.

GEORGE HALL sometimes Fellow of Exeter Coll, [ 37] became Bishop of Chester in the room of Dr. Henry Ferne deceased, an. 1662,* 1.58 and dying in sixteen hundred sixty and eight, (under which year you may see more of him among the Writers p. 297) was succeeded in that See by Dr. Joh. Wilkins, of whom I have largely spoken else∣where already.

HENRY KING sometimes Canon of Ch Church, af∣terwards [ 38] Dean of Rochester, was consecrated Bishop of Chichester, an. 1641. and died in the beginning of Octob. in sixteen hundred sixty and nine,* 1.59 under which year you may see more of him among the Writers p. 308. In the said See of Chichester succeeded Dr. Pet. Gunning as I have elsewhere told you.

HENRY GLEMHAM a younger Son of Sir Henry [ 39] Glemham of Glemham in Suffolk Knight, by Anne his Wife, eldest daughter of Sir Tho. Sackvile Knight, Earl of Dor∣set, was born (a) 1.60 in the County of Surrey, became a Commoner of Trin. Coll in 1619 aged 16 years, being then put under the tuition of Mr. Robert Skinner. After∣wards he took the degrees in Arts, holy Orders, and be∣came well beneficed before the rebellion broke out; at which time suffering more for his loyalty than merits, was upon his Majesties restauration, made Dean of Bri∣stow in the place of Dr. Matthew Nicholas promoted to the Deanery of S. Pauls Cath. in London; where conti∣nuing till 1666, he was, by the endeavours of Barbara Dutchess of Cleavland, made Bishop of S. Asaph in the latter end of that year, in the place of Dr. George Griffith deceased. He gave way to fate at Glemham Hall in Suf∣folk on the seventeenth day of January in sixteen hun∣dred sixty and nine,* 1.61 and was buried in the Vault that belongs to the Family of Glemham, in the Parish Church of Little Glemham in the said County. To the said See of S. Asaph, was translated Dr. Is. Barrow Bishop of the Isle of Man, on the 21. of March 1669, to the great re∣joycing of the true Sons of the Church in the Diocese thereof. After he was setled, he repaired several parts of the Cathedral Church, especially the North and South Isles, and new covered them with lead, and caused the East part of the choir to be wainscoted. He laid out a considerable sum of money in building and repairs about his Pallace at S. Asaph, and the mill thereunto belonging. In the year 1678 he built an Almes house for eight poor Widows, and did endow it with twelve pounds per an. for ever. The same year he procured an Act of Parlia∣ment for the appropriating of the Rectories of Llaurhaia∣der and Mochnant in Denbighshire and Mountgomeryshire, and of Skeiviog in the County of Flint, for repairs of the Cathedral Church of S. Asaph and the better maintenance of the choire there; and also for the uniting several Rectories that were Sinecures, and the Vicaridges of the same Parishes, within his said Diocese of S. Asaph. He also intended to build a Free-school and to endow it, but was prevented by death. Yet since that time his successor Dr. Will Lloyd Bishop of S. Asaph did recover from Bishop Barrow's Executors 200 l. towards a Free-school at S. Asaph, an. 1687. This most worthy Bishop Dr. Barrow died at Shrewsbury, about noon of the 24 of June (Midsomer day) an. 1680, and on the 30 of the said month his Corps was lodged in his house called Argoed hall in Flintshire, and from thence carried on the first of July to his Palace at S. Asaph, and the same day to the Cathedral Church there, where after Divine Service and a Sermon, the said Corps was decently inter'd by Dr. Nich. Stratford Dean of S. Asaph on the South side of the West door in the Cathedral Church yard, which was the place he ap∣pointed. Over his grave was soon after laid a large flat stone, and another over that, supported by Pedestals. On the last of which is this inscription engraven. Exu∣viae Isaaci Asaphensis Episcopi, in manum Domini depositae in spem laetae resurrectionis per sola Christi merita. Obiit dictus reverendus Pater festo Divi Johannis Baptistae, anno Domi∣ni 1680 Aetatis 67 & Translationis suae undecimo. On the lower stone, which is even with the ground, is this

inscription following, engraven on a brass plate fastned thereunto, which was made by the Bishop himself. Exu∣viae Isaaci Asaphensis Episcopi, in manum Domini depositae in spem laetae resurrectionis per sola Christi merita. O vos transeuntes in Domum Domini Domum orationis, orate pro Conservo vestro ut inveniat miserecordiam in die Domini. The said brass plate was fastned at first, as 'tis there reported, over the said West door, but afterwards taken down, and fastned to the lower stone, next the body. But so it was, that as soon as this last Epitaph was put up, the con∣tents thereof flew about the nation by the endeavours of the godly faction, (then plump'd up with hopes to carry on their diabolical designes upon account of the Popish Plot then in examination and prosecution) to make the world believe that the said Bishop died a Papist, and that the rest of the Bishops were Papists also, or at least po∣pishly affected, and especially for this reason, that they adhered to his Majesty and took part with him at that time against the said Faction, who endeavoured to bring the Nation into confusion by their usual trade of lying and slandering, which they have always hitherto done to carry on their ends, such is the religion of the Saints. But so it is, let them say what they will, that the said Bishop was a virtuous, generous and godly man, and a true Son of the Church of England: And it is to be wished that those peering, poor spirited and sneaking wretches would endeavour to follow his example, and not to lye upon the catch, under the notion of religion, to obtain their temporal ends, private endearments, comfortable importances, filthy lusts, &c. The said Bishop was Uncle to a most worthy, religious and learned Doctor of both his names, as I have elsewhere told you, who dying 4. May 1677, aged 47 years, was buried in the great, or south cross Isle of Westm. Abbey, near to the monument of the learned Camden, sometimes Clarenceaux K. of Armes.

[ 40] WILLIAM PIERS son of William Piers a Haberdasher of Hats, Nephew, or near of kin, to Dr. John Piers sometimes Archb. of York and a Native of South Hinxsey near Abendon in Berks, was born in the Parish of Allsaints within the City of Oxon, in Aug, and baptized there on the 3. of Sept. an. 1580. In 1596 he was made Student of Ch. Church, and taking the degrees in Arts, fell to the study of Divinity, and was for a time a Preacher in and near Oxon. Afterwards being made Chaplain to Dr. King Bishop of London, he was prefer'd to the Rectory of S. Christophers Church near to the Old Exchange in London and Vicaridge of Northall in Middles. In 1614 he proceed∣ed in Divinity, being about that time Divinity Reader in S. Pauls Cathedral, and in 1618 he was made Canon of Ch. Church, and soon after Dean of Chester. In 1621. 22. 23. he did undergo the office of Vicechancellour of this University, wherein behaving himself very forward and too officious against such that were then called Anti-Arminians, he gained the good will of Dr. Laud then a rising star in the Court, and so consequently preferment. In 1622 he was made Dean of Peterborough in the place of Hen. Beaumont promoted to that of Windsore, and in 1630 had the Bishoprick thereof confer'd on him, by the death of Dr. Tho. Dove, to which being elected, he had the temporalities thereof given (b) 1.62 to him on the 30 of Oct, and installation on the 14 of Nov. the same year. While he sate there, which was but for a short time, he was esteemed a man of parts, knowing in Divinity and the Laws, was very vigilant and active for the good both for the ecclesiastical and civil estate. In Oct. 1632 he was elected Bishop of Bath and Wells, upon the transla∣tion of Dr. Curle to Winchester; the temporalities of which See being given (c) 1.63 to him on the 20 of December the same year, he continued there, without any other tran∣slation, to the time of his death. As for his actions done in his Diocese of Bath and Wells before the grand rebel∣lion broke out, which were very offensive to the purita∣nical party, (who often attested that he brought innova∣tions therein and into his Church, suppressed Preaching, Lectures, and persecuted such who refused to rail in the Lords Table, &c. in his Diocese) let one of them named William Prynne a great enemy to the Hierarchy (d) 1.64 speak, yet the reader may be pleased to suspend his judgment,

and not to believe all what that partial, cropear'd and stigmatized person saith. When the Bishops were silenc'd, and their Lands sold by that Parliament, called by the faction the blessed Parliament, he lived retiredly on a con∣siderable estate of his own, (sometimes at Cudesden near Oxon) and married a second Wife, which is well known to all the neighbourhood there; yet the said Mr. Prynne would needs perswade (e) 1.65 us

that he was reduced to such extremity that in November 1655 he went to an honorable Knight of his acquaintance in Westminster and complained to him that he had not bread for him and his to put in their mouthes, intreating his favour to procure any Lect. or Curates place for him tho never so mean (which he, by all the friends he had, could no where obtain) to keep him from starving. Whereupon the Knight mind∣ed him of his former speeches and cruelty towards other Lecturers and Ministers, whom (as he added) he redu∣ced to extreme poverty; wishing him to take special notice how God had justly requited him in his own kind, so as himself would now turn Lecturer, or the meanest Cu∣rate under others, in his old age, to get but a meer subsistence, and yet none would entertain him, as himself confessed, in any place. So as the judgment threatned against Ely his posterity, 1. Sam. 2.36. was then actu∣ally fallen on that great Prelate, &c.

In 1660 he was restored to his Bishoprick, and by the great fines and renewings that then came in, he was rewarded in some degree for his sufferings: but his said second Wife, too young and cunning for him, got what she could from the children he had by his first Wife, and wheedling him to Walthamstow in Essex got thousands of pounds and his plate from him (as the common report at Wells is) which of right should have gone to his said Children. He died at that place in the month of Apr. in sixteen hundred and seventy,* 1.66 and was privately buried in the Parochial Church there by the care of his said Wife. He hath two Sermons in print, preached during his restraint in the Tower with other Bishops that were committed thither by the Parlia∣ment an. 1641, both on 2. Cor. 12.8.9.—Lond. 1642. qu. He left behind him a Son of both his names, actually created D. of D. an. 1661, tho of lesser merit than suf∣ferings, and another called John Piers, who being a Lay-man, had a Lay-prebendship in the Church of Wells be∣stowed on him by his Father. He lived mostly at Denton in the Parish of Cudesden near Oxon, (where his Father had setled an estate on him) and dying 28. Nov. 1670, was buried in the Church at Cudesden: whereupon his Pre∣bendship was converted to the use of a Clergy-man.

ROBERT SKINNER second Son of Edm. Skinner [ 41] Rector of Pitchford or Pisford in Northamptonshire, (by Bridget his Wife Daughter of Humph. Radcliff of War∣wickshire) Son of Thomas Skinner of the Parish of Ledbury in Herefordshire, and he the Son of Stephen, was born at Pisford, educated in Grammar learning in a School at Brixworth near to that place, admitted Scholar of Trinity Coll, an. 1607, aged 16 years, and six years after Fel∣low, he being then Bach. of Arts. Afterwards proceed∣ing in his faculty, he took holy Orders, and became a no∣ted Tutor in the Coll, and some of his Pupils proved af∣terwards men of note, as Will. Chillingworth, Rich. New∣digale a Judge, &c. In 1621 he was admitted to the reading of the sentences, and afterwards going to London was unexpectedly chose Preacher of S. Gregories Church near S. Pauls Cathedral, where preaching twice every Sunday for nine years, obtained love, honour and ap∣plause, especially from the Puritans. When Dr. Laud became Bishop of London, he caused him to be sworn Chaplain in Ordinary to his Majesty, and endeavoured to take him off from the principles that he then profes∣sed, was made Rector of Launton near Bister in Oxford∣shire and Minister of Greensnorton. In the month of July or thereabouts, an. 1636 he being elected Bishop of Bristow, was, as Bishop elect of that place, diplomated Doctor of Div. of this University, on the 13 of August the same year, and having the temporalities thereof given (f) 1.67 to him on the 20 of January following, had liberty allowed to him to keep Launton and Greensnorton in Commendam with the said See. In the beginning of 1641 he was tran∣slated to the See of Oxon, on the death of Dr. Bancroft,

and soon after being one of the twelve Bishops that sub∣scribed a Protestation in behalf of themselves against the immoderate Proceedings of the Parl. then sitting, was im∣peached by the members thereof of High Treason, and committed Prisoner to the Tower of London, where conti∣nuing 18 weeks to his great charge, was, upon bail, re∣leased: Whereupon retiring to his Rectory of Launton, which he kept also in commendam with Oxon, lived there retiredly, and submitted so much to the men of those times, that he kept the said Rectory, when the rest of his Spiri∣tualities were lost, meerly, as 'twas supposed, for the bare maintenance of himself and children; in which time, he did usually, as 'tis said, read the Common Prayer, and confer Orders according to the Ch. of Engl. After his Maj. return in 1660, he was restored to his Bishoprick, became one of his Maj. Commissioners of the Univ. of Ox. for the visiting and rectifying it then much out of order, but was not translated to a richer See which he much ex∣pected, occasion'd by a great and potent enemy at Court, who maligned him because of his submission in some part to the Usurpers. In the month of Oct. 1663 he was tran∣slated to the See of Worcester upon the removal of Dr. Earle to that of Sarum, where he became esteemed more by his many Tenants, than family or friends, because of his goodness as a Landlord. He died in sixteen hundred and seventy,* 1.68 and was buried in a Chappel at the east end of the Choir of the Cath. Ch. at Worcester. Over his grave was soon after laid a flat marble stone, with this inscripti∣on engraven thereon. H. I. E. Rev. in Ch. Pater ac Dom. Robertus Skinner Coll. S.

While he lived in the times of Usurpation he was supposed to be the sole Bish. that confer'd Orders, and after his Majesties return an hundred and three persons did at once take holy Orders from him in the Abbey Ch. at Westm, and very many fre∣quently in his respective Dioceses where he successively sate: so that at his death, it was computed that he had sent more Labourers into the Vineyard, than all the bre∣thren he then left behind him had done. He hath extant, A sermon preached before the King at Whitehall, 3 Dec. on Psal. 96.9. Lond. 1634. qu. and another preached in S. Gre∣gories Ch. 1628, which I have not yet seen.

[ 42] THOMAS BAYLY an English man born, was ori∣ginally of this University, afterwards of Dublin in Ireland, whence flying in the time of the Rebellion, he retired to Oxon, and there became one of the Petty Canons or Chapl. of Ch. Ch. as the Antients there have informed me, but how long he continued in that place, I cannot tell. After his Maj. restauration he became D. of D. and Dean of Downe, and upon the death of Dr. H. Hall was made B. of Killala and Achonry, to which receiving consecration (g) 1.69 on 5 June 1664, sate there till the time of his death; which hapning in July or thereabouts in sixteen hundred seventy and one,* 1.70 was buried, as I presume, near the body of his Predecessor in the Cath. Ch. of Killala. Qu.

JOHN LESLEY was born of the antient family of his name of Balquhaine in the north parts of Scotland, and nearly related to both the Count Lesleys, who successive∣ly have rendred themselves conspicuous by their Arms in Germany, received some Academical education in his own Country (at Aberdene as I have heard) and afterwards for some time in Oxon; but whether he took a degree there in Arts it appears not. Afterwards he travelled into Spain, Italy and Germany, but most in France, where he perfect∣ed his Studies, and became remarkable for the most po∣lite and abstruse points of Learning. He spoke French,

Spanish and Italian equal to the Natives, and had such an extraordinary command of the Lat. Tongue, that it was said of him when he was in Spain, solus Lesleius Latine lo∣quitur. He was from his tender years conversant in Courts, where he learned that address and freedom which was pe∣culiar to his Education, and gave a particular air even to his Preaching. Whence it was said of him, and another Bishop of his name, that no man preached more gracefully than the one, nor with more authority than the other. These accomplishments introduced him to be treated, even with familiarity, by several Princes and great men abroad: And he was particularly happy in the good esteem of his Ma∣ster K. Ch. 1, who admitted him to sit at his Council-Ta∣ble both in Scotland and Ireland, (as his father K. James had done for the first) in both which he was continued by K. Ch. 2. His chiefest advancement in the Ch. of Scotland was the Episcopal See of the Isles, where sitting several years, not without trouble from the Faction, he was translated to the See of Raphoe in Ireland, an. 1633, and the same year was made one of his Maj. Privy Coun∣cil in that Kingdom. When he first came to the said diocess, he found the Revenew of the Bishoprick much embezel'd, several Gentlemen in that Country having in∣grossed great part of it to themselves, and combin'd to∣gether to maintain what they had got: But so it was, that he by his activity, did, tho a stranger, retrieve from them by an expensive sute at Law what they had gotten, and by that means increased the revenew of the said See of Raphoe near a third part. He built a noble and stately Pallace for his Successors the Bishops of Raphoe, there be∣ing none in that diocess before his access to it. He con∣triv'd it for strength as well as beauty, which proved of good use in that broken Country, for it held out against the Irish, during the whole Rebellion of 1641, and pre∣served great part of that Country. When the said Re∣bellion broke out, and the Irish Rebels spread over the Country, and all men forced to fight for their lives, and particularly those under his Protection and in his diocess, yet he would not take upon him any military command, as not becoming his character, tho in effect he perform∣ed the Office of a General among them, even to the ex∣posing his person, whenever there was occasion; of which a remarkable instance is told us in the Epist. to the Rea∣der to the Hist. of the execrable Irish Rebellion, written by Dr. Edw. Borlase, viz. That when Sir Ralph Gore at Match∣ribeg, with many other Brittish Inhabitants, were reduced to great extremity by a long Siege, and a necessity of a sudden Surrender of themselves without hope of quarter, to the enraged cruelty of the Irish; the Bishop sallied forth amidst the flames of the whole Country, and relieved him, at that time reduced to such streights, as he and they were forced to cast their dishes into Ball. I say that after the Laggan Forces consisting of three Regiments had refused the hazard of a Relief, the said Bishop with his Company, Tenants and Friends did attempt and perfect it, eviden∣cing at that instant, as much personal valour as regular conduct, which is at this day remembred in Ireland with much astonishment. After the Rebellion, when his Ma∣jesties Cause (K. Ch. 1.) was there maintained by the Royallists and such that had fled into Ireland after the de∣clension of his Cause in England, he raised a Foot-Com∣pany, and maintained them at his own charges, while his affairs had any prospect, for he was loyal, if it was possi∣ble, to excess. He endured a Siege in his Castle of Ra∣phoe before he would surrender it to Oliver, and held out the last in that Country. He declared then against the Presbyterian, as well as Popish, pretences for Rebellion, and would neither joyn in the Treason nor Schism of those times, but held unalterably to the practice, as well as principles of the Ch. of England; whose Liturgy he continued always in his family after he was thrust out of the Church. And even in Dublin, he had frequent Con∣firmations and Ordinations; for which, tho he was per∣secuted by the faction, yet he persisted, and several of present Irish) Clergy (of whom the Archb. of Tuam is one) were then as Confessors admitted into holy Orders by him. After his Majesties restauration, he went into Eng∣land to present himself to him, and flew with that zeal that he rode from Chester to London, which is 150 miles, in 24 hours. In 1661 he was translated to the See of Clog∣her, upon the translation thence of Dr. Hen. Jones to Meath, (who had succeeded in Clogher Dr. James Spots∣wood a Scot, buried in S. Benedicts Chappel in the Abbey

Church at Westminster 31. March 1645.) and afterwards his Maj. would have promoted him to a See more pro∣fitable in requital of his great sufferings, but he excused himself, and was resolved to end his labours among those with whom he had suffer'd, and where his influence was most beneficial. He was a person very temperate, which was the reason that he attained to a great age, and was so great a stranger to Covetousness that he hardly understood money, which yet he took care to employ to the best uses. His memory was prodigious in his younger years, not on∣ly natural but acquired, for he had studied and wrot of the Art of memory and improv'd it to great advantage. He wrot several Treatises curious and learned, which were designed to see the light, but were all lost together with his great Library of many years collection, and se∣veral Mss. which he had brought from forreign Coun∣tries, partly by the Irish, and partly by the Protestant Army in the time of K. Will. 3. an. 1689.90. He died in sixteen hundred seventy and one,* 1.71 aged an hundred years and more, being then, as 'twas computed, the an∣tientest Bishop in the world, having been above 50 years a Bishop. His death hapned at his Seat called Castle Le∣sley alias Glaslogh, and was there buried in a Church of his own building, which he had made the Parish Church by vertue of an Act of Parliament for that purpose in Ireland: Which Church was consecrated to S. Salvator. Sir James Ware in his Commentary of the Irish Bishops (*) 1.72 tells us, that this Bishop Lesley was Doct. of Div. of Oxon, and his Son named Charles Lesley a Minister in Ireland hath informed me that he was not only Doct. of Div. but of both the Laws of Oxford: How true these things are I can∣not tell; sure I am that I cannot find his name in any of the registers of Congreg. or Convocation, or that he took any degree there.

[ 44] GILBERT IRONSIDE sometimes Fell. of Trin. Coll, was made B. of Bristow in the year 1660, and died in Sept. in sixteen hundred seventy and one,* 1.73 under which year you may see more of him among the Writers, p. 357. In the said See succeeded Dr. Guy Carleton, as I shall tell you under the year 1685.

[ 45] WILLIAM NICOLSON sometimes one of the Clerks of Magd. Coll, succeeded Dr. Godfrey Goodman in the See of Glocester, an. 1660, and died in the beginning of Feb. in sixteen hundred seventy and one,* 1.74 under which year you may see more of him among the Writers, p. 362. In the said See succeeded John Prichett, as I shall tell you under the year 1680.

[ 46] GRIFFITH WILLIAMS sometimes a member of Ch. Ch. in Oxon, afterwards of the Univ. of Cambr. became Bishop of Ossory in 1641, and died in the latter end of sixteen hundred seventy and one;* 1.75 under which year you may see more of him among the Writers, p. 363. In the said See succeeded Dr. John Parry, as I have told you among the said Writers an. 1677. p. 448.

[ 47] JOHN WILKINS sometimes of New Inn, afterwards of Magdalen Hall, was consecrated Bish. of Chester, an. 1668, on the death of Dr. George Hall, and died in Nov. in sixteen hundred seventy and two;* 1.76 under which year you may also see more of him among the Writers, p. 370.371. In the said See succeeded the learned Dr. Joh. Pear∣son born at Creake in Norfolk, bred in Eaton School, ad∣mitted into Kings Coll. in Cambridge an. 1631, commenced M. of A, became Chaplain to George Lord Goring at Exe∣ter, Preb. of Sarum, Preacher at S. Clements Eastcheap, and afterwards at S. Christophers, in London. In 1660 he was installed Archd. of Surrey, after it had laid void about ele∣ven years, (being then D. of D.) was afterwards Master of Jesus Coll. in Cambr. Preb. of Ely, Chapl. in ord. to his Maj, and Master of Trin. Coll. in the said Univ. I say that he succeeding Dr. Wilkins in Chester, was consecrated to that See (with Dr. Pet. Mews to Bath and Wells) on the ninth day of Febr. an. 1672, having before published an Exposition on the Creed, &c. After his death, which I have mention'd elsewhere, succeeded in the See of Chester Dr.

Thom. Cartwright. The said Dr. Joh. Pearson had a youn∣ger brother named Richard, born also at Creake, bred in Eaton School, admitted into Kings Coll. in 1646, was af∣terwards M. of A, Professor of the Civil Law at Gresham Coll, and kept his Fellowship with it, went out Doct. of the Civ. and Canon Law upon the coming of the Prince of Tuscany to Cambr. in the beginning of 1669, he being then Under-keeper of his Maj. Library at S. James. He was a most excellent Scholar, a most admired Greecian, and a great Traveller: He died in the summer-time, an. 1670, being then, as 'twas vulgarly reported, a Rom. Cath.

FRANCIS DAVIES a Glamorganshire man born, be∣came [ 48] a Student of Jes. Coll. an. 1628, aged 17 years, took the degr. in Arts, and was made Fellow of the said House. About that time entring into holy Orders, he became be∣neficed in Wales, and in 1640 he was admitted to the reading of the Sentences. Afterwards suffering much for the Kings Cause, lived as opportunity served, and was involved in the same fate as other Royalists were. But be∣ing restored to what he had lost, after his Maj. restaurati∣on, he was actually created D. of D. in the beginning of the year 1661, being then Archd. of Landaff in the place of Tho. Prichard. In. 1667 he was made Bishop of Landaff on the death of Dr. Hugh Lloyd, paid his homage on the 4 of Sept. the same year, and about that time was conse∣crated. He concluded his last day in the latter end of sixteen hundred seventy and four, and was buried,* 1.77 as I have been informed by some of the Fellows of Jes. Coll, in the Cath. Ch. at Landaff. In the said See of Landaff succeeded Dr. Will. Lloyd sometimes of S. Johns Coll. in Cambr, consecrated thereunto on the 18 of Apr. 1675, where sitting till the death of Dr. Henshaw, he was transla∣ted to Peterborough, and confirmed therein 17 of May 1679. Besides the beforemention'd Franc. Davies, was another of both his names the e in Davies excepted, but before him in time, author of A Catechism, wherein is contained the true grounds of the articles of the Christian Faith contained in the Lords Prayer and Creed, &c. Lond. 1612. oct. ded. to Mr. Tho. Digges, but whether he was of Oxford, I cannot yet tell. Qu.

WILLIAM FULLER son of Tho. Fuller, was born in [ 49] London, educated in the Coll. School at Westminster, became a Communer of Magd. Hall in 1626 or thereabouts, aged 18 years, took the degree of Bach. of the Civil Law six years after, as a Member of S. Edm. Hall, having transla∣ted himself thither some time before. About that time he entred into holy Orders, was made one of the Chap∣lains or Petty-Canons of Ch. Ch, and when the K. had taken up his head quarter at Oxon in the time of the Rebellion, he became Chapl. to Edw. L. Littleton L. Keeper of the Gr. Seal there. Afterwards, upon the declension of the Kings Cause, he suffer'd as others did, taught a private School at T••••t∣tenham or Twickenham in Middlesex, in the Reigns of Oliv. and Richard, and endeavoured to instil Principles of Loy∣alty into his scholars. At length upon the restauration of K. Ch. 2. he was nominated Dean of S. Patricks Church near Dublin, and in August the same year he was actually created Doct. of the Civ. Law, as a member of S. Edm. Hall, by vertue of the Chancellours Letters written in his behalf, which say that he is a worthy and learned person and hath suffered much for his Loyalty to his Majesty, &c. Afterwards he went into Ireland, was installed Dean of the said Ch. on the 21 of Oct. following, and continuing in that dignity till 1663, he was made Bish. of Limerick and Ardfert in that Kingdom; to which being consecrated (*) 1.78 on the 20 of March the same year, according to the English accompt, sate there (tho much of his time was spent in England) till 1667, and then upon Dr. B. Laney's removal to Ely, on the death of Dr. Math. Wren, he was translated to the See of Lincoln (after he had taken a great deal of pains to ob∣tain it) on the 28 of Sept. the same year. He paid his last debt to nature at Kensington near London, on the 22 of Apr. in sixteen hundred seventy and five; whereupon his body being carried to Lincoln, was buried in the Cath. Ch. there. In the afternoon of the very same day that he died, Dr. Tho. Barlow Provost of Qu. Coll, did, by the endeavours of the two (†) 1.79 Secretaries of State, (both formerly of his Coll.)

kiss his Majesties hand for that See, and accordingly was soon after consecrated. The said Dr. Fuller did once design to have written the Life of Dr. Joh. Bramhall sometimes Pri∣mate of Ireland, and had obtained many materials in his mind for so doing; wherein, as in many things he did, he would without doubt have quitted himself well, as much to the instruction of the living, as honor of the dead: And therefore it was lamented by some, that any thing should divert him from doing so acceptable service. But the pro∣vidence of God having closed up his much desired life, has deprived us of what he would have said of that most wor∣thy Prelate. See in the beginning of the said Dr. Bramhall's Life, written by Joh. L. Bish. of Limerick.—Lond. 1677. fol.

[ 50] WALTER BLANDFORD son of a father of both his names, was born at Melbury Abbats in Dorsetshire, became a Servitour or poor Scholar of Ch. Ch. an. 1635, aged (a) 1.80 19 years, admitted Scholar of Wadh. Coll, on the 1 of Oct. 1638, at which time he said he was born in 1619, took the degrees in Arts, and in 1644, Jul. 2, he was admitted Fellow of the said Coll. In 1648 when the Visitors ap∣pointed by Parliament to eject all such from the Univ. that would not take the Covenant or submit to their power, they did not eject him, which shews that he did either take the Covenant or submit to them; and about the same time ob∣taining leave to be absent, he became Chapl. to John Lord Lovelace of Hurley in Berks and Tutor to his son John, to whom also afterwards he was Tutor in Wadh. Coll. In 1659 he was elected and admitted Warden of that Coll, and in the year after, in Aug. he was, among many, actu∣ally created D. of D, being about that time Chapl. to Sir Edw. Hyde L. Chanc. of Engl, who obtained for him the same year a Prebendship in the Ch. of Glocester, and a Chap∣lainship in ord. to his Majesty. In 1662 and 63 he did un∣dergo the office of Vicechanc. of this Univ, not without some pedantry, and in 1665 he being nominated Bishop of Oxon, on the death of Dr. Will. Paul, was elected there∣unto by the Dean and Chapter of Ch. Ch. on the 7 of Nov, confirmed in S. Maries Ch. in Oxon on the 28 of the said month, and on the 3 of Dec. following, in the same year of 1665, (the K. and the Q. with their Courts being then in Oxon) he was consecrated in New Coll. Chap. by the Bishops of London, Glocester and Exeter. Soon after he was made Dean of the Royal Chappel, and upon the death of Dr. Skinner, was translated to the See of Worcester in the Ch. of S. Mary Savoy in the Strand near London on the 13 of June 1671. This Dr. Blandford who lived a single man, and never at all was inclined to Marriage, died in the Bishops Pallace at Worcester, on Friday the 9 of July in six∣teen hundred seventy and five,* 1.81 and was buried in the Chappel next beyond the east end of the Choir belong∣ing to the Cath. Ch. there, commonly called Our Ladies Chappel. Afterwards was set up in the Wall that parts the said Chap. and the east end of the Choire, a monument of Northamptonshire marble, and in the middle of it was fix'd a black marble table, with a large inscription thereon, part of which runs thus. H. S. I. Gualterus Blandford SS. T. P. &c. ad primorum Ecclesiae temporum exempla factus, & futu∣rorum omnium natus: summis honorum fastigiis ita admotus, ut perpetuo super invidiam, citra meritum consisteret: non se∣culi artibus, assentatione, aut ambitu, sed pietate, modestia, animi dimissione & dignitatum fuga clarus. Ab Academiae gu∣bernaculo ad Ecclesiae clavum, (quaeque anceps magis procura∣tio) ad conscientiae Principis regimen evocatus, muneribus omni∣bus par, quasi unico impenderetur. Nimirum eruditione recon∣dita Academiam, sanctissima prudentia Dioecesim, illibata pie∣tate Aulam, illustrabat. Donec perpetuis laboribus, & morbo diutino (quem invicta animi constantia tolleraverat) confectus, facultatibus suis Deo, Ecclesiae, Pauperibus distributis, &c. 'Tis said in the Epitaph, that he died in the year of his age 59, and on the 16 of July, which should be the 9, as I have told you before. In the See of Worcester succeeded him Dr. Jam. Fleetwood, as I shall tell you elsewhere.

[ 51] EDWARD REYNOLDS sometimes Fell. of Merton Coll. and afterwards Dean of Ch. Ch, was consecrated B. of Norwych in the beginning of Jan. 1660, and died in sixteen hundred seventy and six,* 1.82 under which year you may see more among the Writers, p. 420. In the said See succeeded Anth. Sparrow D. D. Bish. of Exeter, who after

his Translation, was confirmed on the 18 of Sept. the same year, where he sate to the time of his death. This lear∣ned Doctor, who was the son of a wealthy father named Sam. Sparrow, was born at Depden in Suffolk, educated in Queens Coll. in Cambr, of which he was successively Scho∣lar and Fellow, but ejected thence, with the rest of the Society, for their Loyalty, and refusing the Covenant, an. 1643. Soon after he was prevail'd upon to take the bene∣fice of Hankdon in his native Country, but by that time he had held it 5 weeks, where he read the Common Pray∣er, he was ejected thence by the Committee of Religion sitting at Westminster. After the restauration of his Maj. he returned to his Living, was elected one of the Preach∣ers at S. Edmunds Bury, and made Archd. of Sudbury, as I have told you in the Fasti under the year 1577. Soon after he became Master of the Coll. wherein he had been educated, and thereupon left his charge at S. Ed. Bury, and in short time after resigned Hankdon to his Curate, having before expended in reparations there 200 l. On the 3 of Nov. 1667 he was consecrated Bish. of Exeter, upon the Translation thence of Dr. Ward to Salisbury; where sit∣ting with great commendations till the death of Dr. Rey∣nolds, was then translated to Norwich, as I have before told you. He hath published (1) Rationale upon the book of Common Prayer of the Ch. of England. Lond. 1657. &c. in tw. (2) Collection of Articles, Injunctions, Canons, Orders, Ordinances, &c. Ibid. 1661. qu, besides a Sermon concer∣ning Confession of sins and the power of absolution, &c. He died towards the latter end of the month of May, an. 1685, and in the next month he was succeeded by Dr. Will. Lloyd B. of Peterborough, who continuing there till after K. Will 3. came to the Crown, was then ejected as a Non-juror, or one that would not violate his Oath so the former King.

WILLIAM LUCY sometimes of Trin. Coll. in this Univ, afterwards of Caies in Cambr, was consecrated B. [ 52] of S. David on the first Sunday in Advent, an. 1660, and died in the beginning of Octob. in sixteen hundred seventy and seven,* 1.83 under which year you may see more of him among the Writers, p. 443. In the See of S. David suc∣ceeded Dr. Will. Thomas, as I shall tell you when I come to him.

GILBERT SHELDON the youngest son of Rog. Shel∣don of Stanton in Staffordshire, near to Ashbourne in Derby∣shire, [ 53] was born there on the 19 of July 1598, and had his Christian name given to him at his Baptization by Gilbert Earl of Shrewsbury, to whom his father was a menial Ser∣vant. In the latter end of 1613 he became a Communer of Trinity Coll, and proceeding in Arts seven years after, was, in the year 1622 elected Fell. of that of Alls, and a∣bout the same time took holy Orders. Afterwards he was made domestick Chapl. to Thom. Lord Coventry L. Keeper of the Great Seal, who finding him to be a man of parts, recommended him to K. Ch. 1. as a person well vers'd in Politicks. In 1634 he proceeded in Divinity, being then, as it seems, Preb. of Gloc, and in the latter end of the year following he was elected Warden of his Coll. About the same time he became Chapl. in ord. to his Maj, was afterwards Clerk of his closet, and by him designed to be Master of the Hospital called the Savoy and Dean of Westm, that he might the better attend on his royal per∣son; but the change of the Times and Rebellion that fol∣lowed, hindred his settlement in them. During the time of the said Rebellion he adhered to his Maj. and his cause, and therefore was not only ejected his Wardenship, but also imprison'd with Dr. H. Hammond in Oxon, and elsewhere, by the Visitors appointed by Parliament, an. 1648, to the end that their eminency in the Univ. might not hinder their proceedings, and to keep them both from attending the King at the Treaty in the Isle of Wight. After he was released, he retired to his friends in Staffordshire, Not∣tinghamshire, and Derbyshire, whence and where, from his own purse and from others which he made use of, he sent constantly moneys to the exil'd King, followed his Stu∣dies and Devotions till matters tended to a happy restau∣ration of his Maj. On the 4 of Mar. 1659 Dr. Joh. Pal∣mer, who had usurp'd his Wardenship almost 12 years, died, at which time there being an eminent foresight of his Maj. return, there was no election made of a Successor, only a restitution of Dr. Sheldon; who instead of re-taking possession in person (which he never did) was made Dean of his Maj. Chap, royal and nominated to succeed Dr. Juxon in London, upon his translation thence to Can∣terbury:

Whereupon being consecrated thereunto in the Chap. of K. H. 7. at Westm, by the Bish. of Winchester, (de∣legated thereunto by Canterbury,) assisted by York, Ely, Ro∣chester and Chichester, on the 28 of Oct. (S. Sim. and Jude) an. 1660, sate there, as one thought fittest to take charge and care of that great and populous City, till the decease of the said Dr. Juxon; and then being elected to succeed him in Canterbury by the Dean and Chapter thereof, on the 11 of Aug. 1663, the Election was confirmed on the 15 of the same month by his Majesty (to whom Dr. Shel∣don had been for some time before one of his Privy Coun∣cil) and thereupon was translated with great solemnity in the Archb. Chap. at Lambeth, the 31 of the said month. On the 8 of Sept. following Dr. Humph. Henchman Bish. of Salisbury was elected to the said See of London, and on the 15 he was translated thereunto in the Ch. of S. Mary le Bow, where he sate to the time of his death. In 1667 Dr. Sheldon was elected Chancellour of the Univ. of Ox. but was never install'd, or ever was there after that time, no not so much as to see his noble work call'd the Thea∣ter, or ever at Canterbury to be there personally installed Archbishop, or upon any other occasion while he was Archbishop. At length arriving to a fair age, he surren∣dred up his soul to God on Friday about 7 of the clock at night,* 1.84 of the 9 day of Nov. in sixteen hundred seventy and seven: Whereupon his body was privately inter'd in the parochial Ch. of Croyden in Surrey, near to the tomb of Archb. Whitgift (according to his own special directi∣on) upon Friday evening, the 16 of the said month. Soon after was a most stately monument erected over his grave by his heir Sir Joseph Sheldon, then lately L. Mayor of London, son of his elder brother Ralph Sheldon of Stanton before mention'd, with a large inscription thereon, part of which runs thus. Fortiter & suaviter hic jacet Gilbertus Sheldon antiqua Sheldoniorum in agro Staffordiensi natus, &c. vir omnibus negotiis par, omnibus titulis superior, in omnibus magnus, in propriis bonus, utrius{que} fortunae dominus. Pauperum parens, literatorum Patronus, Ecclesiae stator, de tanto viro pauca dicere non expedit, multa non opus est. Norunt praesen tes, posteri vix credent, &c. He hath only extant A Ser∣mon before the King at Whitehall 28 June 1660, being the day of solemn Thanksgiving for the happy return of his Maj on Psal. 18.49. Lond. 1660. qu. His works of piety and charity were many in his life time, as first the building of the Theater at Oxon, which cost him more than 16 thou∣sand pounds, besides the gift of 2000 l. to buy lands worth an 100 l. per an. to keep it in repair. This noble Stru∣cture was built chiefly for the celebration of the public Acts, yet since neglected. (2) The fair Library at Lam∣beth House, built at his own charge. (3) Two thousand pounds towards the Structure of S. Pauls Cathedral. (4) Considerable sums of money to Trin. Coll. in Oxon, and Trin. Coll. in Cambr, besides great and large sums of mo∣ney annually bestowed, some to publick, and some to private charities. His Legacies at his death for charitable uses came to 1500 l, which afterwards were paid, part to Alls. Coll, part to the Church of Canterbury, part to the Hospital of Harbledowne in Kent, and the rest to indigent persons. I have heard Sir Joseph Sheldon before mention∣ed say, (who was afterwards buried near to the body of his Uncle) that from the time of Dr. Sheldon's being made Bishop of London to the time of his death, it did ap∣pear in the book of his Accompts that he had bestowed upon publick, pious and charitable uses, about threescore and six thousand pounds. In his Archbishoprick succeed∣ed Will. Sancroft D. D. Dean of S. Pauls Cath. Ch. in Lond. and sometimes Fellow of Eman. Coll. in Cambridge; who, after he had been nominated by the King (thro the endeavours of James Duke of York) was consecrated in the Abbey Ch. of S Peter at Westm, on Sunday the 27 of Jan. 1677. What he hath written and published except (1) Modern policies taken from Machiavel, Borgia, and other choice authors, by an eye witness. Lond. 1652, in tw. (2) Serm. on the first Sunday in Advent (1660) at the consecra∣tion of John Bishop of Durham, William Bishop of S. Dav. &c. Lond. 166••. qu. and (3) Serm. preached to the H. of Peers, 13 Nov. 1678, being the Fast day appointed by the King, &c. Lond, 1679. qu. I say, what he hath published besides these things let others speak, while I tell you that after he had sate in the said See, without the exception of any, and had behaved himself with great prudence and moderation, was, after K. Will. 3. came to the Crown, deprived with five other Bishops for not swearing Allegiance and Su∣premacy to that Prince and his Queen.

JOHN PARRY sometimes of Trin. Coll. near Dublin, afterwards Fell. of Jesus Coll. in this Univ, was consecra∣ted [ 54] Bish. of Ossory in Ireland on the death of Griff. Williams in the beginning of the year 1672, and died a little before the Nativity in sixteen hundred seventy and seven;* 1.85 under which year you may see more among the Writers, p. 448. In the said See succeeded his brother Ben. Parry, as I am now about to tell you.

BENJAMIN PARRY sometimes of Trin. Coll. near Dublin, afterwards of Jesus in this Univ, and at length [ 55] Fellow of Corp. Ch. was consecrated Bish. of Ossory in Jan. 1677, and died in the beginning of Octob. in sixteen hun∣dred seventy and eight,* 1.86 under which year you may see more of him among the Writers, p. 462. In the said See succeeded Dr. Michael Ward, as I have elsewhere told you.

RALPH BRIDEOAKE son of Rich. Brid. (by Cicely [ 56] his wife dau. of John Booth of Lancashire) and he the son of another Richard of Adbaston, was born, as I have been informed, at Chitham Hill near Manchester in the said County, was admitted a Student in Brasn. Coll. 15 Jul. 1630, aged 16 years, took one degree in Arts, and deter∣mining soon after, his Disputations did so much please Dr. Pink Warden of New Coll, then Vicechancellour of the Univ, that he forthwith, upon enquiry that his conditi∣on was mean, made him a Pro-Chaplain of the said New Coll. In 1636, he, among many others, was actually created Mast. of Arts, by vertue of his Maj. Letters dated at Oxon, he being then accounted a good Greecian and Poet: But having nothing to keep up the degr. of Master only his employment in the said Coll, he became Curat of Wytham near Oxon, for Dr. Joh. Brikenden sometimes of Magd. Coll, and Corrector of the Press in Oxon. In which last employment, hapning to correct a book of Dr. Tho▪ Jackson President of C. C. Coll, to whom he had often re∣cess, that Doctor had such an affection for him, that upon the vacancy of the Free-school at Manchester, founded by Bishop Hugh Oldham (of which the President of the said Coll. for the time being is Patron) he forthwith gave the government of it to him. So that being soon after set∣led there, he, by his interest and great forwardness, be∣came Chaplain to the Earl of Derby, whom and his family he much, pleased: And when Latham House in Lanc. be∣longing to the said Count was besieged by the Forces be∣longing to Parliament, he was all the time in it, and did good service. When the Kings Cause declined he stuck close to the said family, and managed, as 'tis said, most of the Estate belonging to it. In 1651 his Lord James Earl of Derby being engaged for K. Ch. 2. at Worcester fight, and before, he was, after the loss of the day, taken by the Parliamenteers in Cheshire: Whereupon he being like to lose his life, this his Chaplain Mr. Brideoake, with others, were desired to sollicit the Grandees at Westminster to save him; and Will. Lenthall the Speaker of the House of Com. being much plyed by the said Chaplain with more than ordinary reason and application, Lenthall thereupon (when he saw nothing could save his Lords life) finding him to be a man of parts and business, made him his own proper Chaplain, and soon after Preacher of the Rolls in Chancery lane: Which act of his, tho noble and generous, yet he was clamour'd at, and gained the ill will of divers mem∣bers of Parliament, for his entertaining openly, and af∣terwards preferring, a Malignant, as they term'd him. Soon after by Lenthall's endeavours he became Vicar of a Market Town in Oxfordshire called Witney, where being setled, he preached twice every Lords day, and in the Evening catechised the Youth in his own house, outvying in labour and vigilancy any of the godly Brethren in those parts. He also, by his Patron's means, got the Rectory of the said place (which had been leased out) to be an∣nexed to the Vicaridge, whereby it became one of the richest Rectories in Oxford Diocess; and not long after he was made Minister of S. Bartholmew near the Royal Exchange in London, where in holding forth, preaching, and laying about him in the Pulpit, he equalled any of the holy Brethren of that City. On the 14 of March 1659 he was appointed one of the Commissioners by Act of Parliament for the approbation and admission of Ministers of the Gospel after the Presbyterian mode: but that Act soon after vanishing upon the approach of his Majesties restauration, he, by his unwearied diligence and applica∣tion, was made Chaplain to his Majesty, installed Canon

of Windsore, in the place of Dr. Thom. Howell B. of Bri∣stow (several years before dead) on the 11 day of July, and actually created Doct. of Div. in the beginning of Aug. following, an. 1660. About that time he became Rector of the rich Church of Standish in his native Coun∣try, given formerly to him by the Earl of Derby, but hin∣dred from enjoying it by the Triers in Oliver's Reign, be∣tween whom and him, followed some controversie con∣cerning that matter, but how terminated I cannot tell. In Sept. 1667 he was made Dean of Salisbury in the place of Dr. Rich. Baylie deceased, and in Feb. 1674 he was by the endeavours of Lodovisa Dutchess of Portsmouth (whose hands were always ready to take bribes) nominated by the King to be Bishop of Chichester, on the translation of Dr. P. Gunning from thence to Ely. So that being con∣secrated thereunto on the 18 day of April an. 1675, had liberty then allowed to him to keep his Canonry of Wind∣sore in commendam with that See, which he did to his dy∣ing day. This person, who had spent the chief part of life in continual agitation, for the obtaining of Wealth and setling a Family, (for he was a married man and left behind him 3 sons at his death) was suddenly taken from this world as he was visiting his diocess, on the fifth day of Octob. in sixteen hundred seventy and eight:* 1.87 Where∣upon his body being conveyed to Windsore, was buried in Bray's Chappel, joyning on the south side to the outer Chappel of S. George in the Castle there. Soon after was a fair altar monument erected over his grave, with his Statue from head to foot, adorned with Pontificalia (all curiously cut from one entire piece of Alabaster) laying thereon, with this inscription engraven upon it.

JOSEPH HENSHAW sometimes a Communer of [ 57] Magdalen Hall became Bishop of Peterborough, upon the translation of Dr. Laney to Lincolne, in the beginning of the year 1663, and died in the latter end of sixteen hun∣dred seventy and eight,* 1.88 leaving then behind him this cha∣racter in his diocess, that he was a learned man and a good Preacher, but so proud and unhospitable, that in that respect he deserved not the name of a Bishop. I have already menti∣oned him among the Writers, under the year 1678, pag. 473, and therefore I shall only say that Dr. Will. Lloyd succeeded him in Peterborough, and confirm'd in that See on the 17 of May 1679. Afterwards he was translated to Norwich, where sitting with good approbation till after K. Will. 3. came to the Crown, he was then depriv'd, as I have before told you in Dr. E. Reynolds.

JOHN PRICHETT son of Walt. Prich. of Hillenden [ 58] in Middlesex, (afterwards Alderman of Lond. as his Rela∣tions have told me) was born there, or in that County, admitted a Student of Queens Coll. in Mich. term 1622, aged 18 years, took the degrees in Arts as a member of S. Edm. Hall, that of Master being compleated in an Act celebrated 1629. Afterwards marrying an Oxford Wo∣man of inferiour note, he became beneficed in his own Country, but whether he suffer'd for any Cause during the Civil War I know not. Sure 'tis that he being Vicar of S. Giles Church near Cripplegate in London, after the restau∣ration of K. Ch. 2, and esteemed a rich man, as indeed he was, he, by the endeavours of Dr. Sheldon, Archb. of Cant, had the poor Bishoprick of Glocester confer'd on him, after the death of Dr. Nicolson, with leave allowed to him to keep the said Ch. of S. Giles in commendam with it. So that being consecrated thereunto on the third day of Nov. (being the first Sunday of that month) an. 1672, sate there till the time of his death, which hapning at Harefield in Middlesex, (where he had an Estate) on the first day of January in sixteen hundred and eighty, was buried on the seventh day of the same month under the Pulpit of the Church there.* 1.89 In the said See succeeded Dr. Rob. Frampton of Oxon, who sitting there with great liking

till after K. Will. 3. came to the Crown, was then depri∣ved of his Bishoprick, for not taking the Oaths of Alle∣giance and Supremacy.

JOHN PARKER was born in the City of Dublin, edu∣cated [ 59] partly in the University there, and partly in this, as a Member of Ch. Ch, as I have been not only informed there by certain Seniors, but also from Dublin. After∣wards he retired to his native place, became Prebendary of S. Michan, and much in respect there for his Religion and Learning. Afterwards, in the times of Usurpation, he was deprived (*) 1.90 of all his Spiritualities by O. Cromwell, and by him cast into Prison upon suspicion that he was a Spy from the Marquess of Ormonde. Afterwards being freed by exchange, he constantly adhered to the said Mar∣quess as long as he continued in Ireland: But when he withdrew himself thence into France, Mr. Parker went into England, where making a shift to rub out till his Ma∣jesties return, went then into his own Country, and be∣ing nominated Bishop of Elphine, was consecrated there∣unto in S. Patricks Church on the 27 of Jan. 1660, he be∣ing then Doctor of Divinity. In 1667, Aug. 9, he was by Letters Patents then dated, made Archbishop of Tuam in the room of Dr. Sam. Pullen, and afterwards Archb. of Dublin in the place of Dr. Mich. Boyle translated to Ar∣magh: He died in the beginning of January in sixteen hundred eighty and one, and was buried, as I conceive,* 1.91 at Dublin: Whereupon Dr. Francis Marsh succeeded him in the See there. The said Dr. Parker hath extant A ser∣mon preached before both Houses of Parliament in Ireland, on 2 Sam. 19.14.—printed 1663. qu. and, as I conceive, others.

HENRY BRIDGMAN the third son of Dr. John [ 60] Bridgman B. of Chester (who died an. 1652 aged 77 years) was born in Northamptonshire, entred a Communer of Oriel Coll. in the year 1629 aged 16 or thereabouts, elected Fellow of that of Brasnose, 6 Dec. 1633, he being then Bach. of Arts: Afterwards he was actually created Master of that faculty, and in 1639 he resign'd his Fellowship, being then, by the endeavours of his father, beneficed or dignified, or both. In the time of the Rebellion he did his Maj. faithful service, and therefore was a sharer in af∣flictions, as other Loyalists were, occasioned by the vio∣lent Proceedings of the Presbyterians. After his Majesties Restauration, he was elected Dean of Chester in July, in the place of Dr. Will. Nicolls, (who died in 1658) was actually created D. of D. in the beginning of Aug. follow∣ing, and soon after installed in his Deanery, and on the 22 of Septemb. 1660 installed Preb. of Stillington in the Ch. of York, being about that time Parson of Bangor in Flint∣shire and of Barrow in Cheshire. At length upon the Tran∣slation of Dr. Is. Barrow to the See of S. Asaph, being no∣minated Bishop of the Isle of Man by the Earl of Derby, he was consecrated thereunto at Chester on Sunday the se∣cond of Octob. 1671, having had liberty before granted to him to keep his Deanery in commendam with it. What the merits of this person were, except his Loyalty and his benefaction to the Deans house at Chester, let others speak, while I tell you that he giving way to fate on the 15 of May in sixteen hundred eighty and two, (after he had had two Wives) was buried, as I suppose,* 1.92 in the Cath. Ch. at Chester. Qu. In his Deanery succeeded James Ar∣derne or Arden D. D, whom I shall mention in the Fasti, an. 1673; and in the See of Man succeeded Dr. John Lake, who, after nomination thereunto by William Earl of Derby, and the issuing out of a Commission for his consecration in the beginning of Decemb. 1682, was accordingly soon after consecrated. This person, who was born in Yorkshire, was educated in S. John's Coll. in Cambridge, was afterwards Rector of S. Botolphs Church near Bishopsgate in London, instituted Rector of Prestwych in Cheshire 17 Octob. 1668, collated to the Prebendship of Friday Thorp in the Church of York upon the resignation of Hen. Bagshaw Bach. of Div, in Apr. 1670, was after∣wards a Preacher in that City, and on the death of Dr. Rob. Feild he was installed Archdeacon of Clievland, 13. Oct. 1680. Before he had continued two years in the See of Man, he was, upon the death of Dr. Will. Goulson, elected Bishop of Bristow, to which he was translated in the Ch. of S. Mary le Bow in London, on the 12 of Aug, and on the first of Sept. following, an. 1684, he was in∣stalled

by proxy, with leave then allow'd him to keep his Prebendary, &c. in commendam with it. See more of him in Guy Carleton, an. 1685.

[ 61] EDWARD RAINBOW son of Tho. Rainbow A Minister, by Rebecca his wife dau. of Dav. Allen Rector of Ludbrough in Lincolnshire, was born at Bliton near Gains∣borough in the said County, 20. Apr. 1608, educated in Grammar learning successively at Gainsborough, Peterbo∣rough, and at Westminster, entred a student in Corp. Christi Coll in Oxon, in Jul. 1623, his elder brother John being about that time Fellow of the said House, but before he had quite spent two years there, he was translated to Madg. Coll. in Cambridge, where he was adm. one of the Scholars of Frances Countess Dowager of Warwick, daugh. of Sir Christop. Wray L. Ch. Justice of England. After∣wards taking the degrees in Arts he became Fellow, a noted Tutor in that House, Master thereof in Oct. 1642, (in the place of Dr. Hen. Smith deceased) continued therein in the time of Rebellion without being ejected with others that denied the Covenant, commenc'd Doctor of Div. in 1646 and in 1650 lost his Mastership for re∣fusing a Protestation against the King, that is the Oath called the Engagement. Afterwards he became Minister of Chesterford near Audley inn in Essex, married Elizabeth, dau. of his predicessor Dr. Hen. Smith, and in the begin∣ning of the year 1659 became Rector of Benefield in Northamptonshire; which tho of considerable value, yet by the favour of friends he did not undergo the examination of the Tryers of that time, as he had not done for Chester∣ford. Upon his Majesties return in 1660 he was restored to his Mastership, was made Chaplain to his Majesty, Dean of Peterborough the same year, and in 1662 Vicech. of Cambridge. In 1664 he became Bishop of Carlile, up∣on the Translation thence of Dr. Rich. Sterne to the See of York,* 1.93 where sitting till the time of his death, was then succeeded by Dr. Tho. Smith somtimes Fellow of Qu. Coll. in this University. See in the Fasti in the first Vol. p. 861. but more in a book entit. The life of the right rev. fath. in God Edw. Rainbow D. D. late L. Bishop of Carlile.

He the said Dr. Rainbow published Labour forbidden and commanded, two Sermons at S. Paules Cross on Joh. 6.27. Lond. 1635, and another at the Fu∣neral of Susanna Countess of Suffolk, 13. May 1649, on Ecclesiastes 7.1. &c.

[ 62] PETER GUNNING somtimes Fellow of Clare Hall in Cambridge, afterwards one of the Chaplaines of New Coll. in Oxon, &c. became first Bishop of Chichester, afterwards of Ely; and dying in July in sixteen hundred eighty and four (under which year you may see more of him among the writers p. 577.) he was succeeded in Ely by Dr. Franc. Turner,* 1.94 B. of Rochester sometimes Fellow of New Coll, who for refusing the Oath of Alleg. and Su∣premacy to K Will. 3. was deprived of it.

[ 63] GEORGE MORLEY somtimes Dean of Ch. Church, was first Bishop of Worcester (where he was re∣ceived and inthronized with very great solemnity on the 12. of Sept. 1661) and afterwards of Winchester on the death of Dr. Duppa;* 1.95 who dying in the latter end of Octob. in sixteen hundred eighty and four (under which year you may see more of him among the writers p. 581.) was suc∣ceeded in Winchester by Dr. Pet. Mews B. of Bathe and Wells.

[ 64] GUY CARLETON was born of an antient and gentile family at Brampton Foot in Gilsland within the County of Cumberland, educated in the Free-School at Carlile under Mr. Tho. Robson, and admitted a poor serving child of Queens Coll, under the tuition of Charles son of the said Tho. Robson, an. 1621 aged 17 years or thereabouts. Afterwards he was made Tabarder, Fellow, and in 1635 one of the Proctors of the University, Vicar of Buck∣lesbury near to Newbury in Berks, &c. At length upon the breaking out of the grand Rebellion he took part with his Majesty, and did him good service, being then ac∣counted an excellent Horsman in a double sense, for which he had his share in sufferings as other Loyallists had. After the Kings Restauration, he was made one of his Chaplaines, was actually created D. of D. in the be∣ginning

of Aug. 1660, made Dean of Carlile in the place of Dr. Tho. Comber somtimes Master of Trin. Coll. in Cam∣bridge, (some years before dead) and on the 2. of Nov. the same year was installed Prebendary of Durham. In 1671, he was nominated Bishop of Bristow on the death of Dr. Gilb. Ironside, to which See being consecrated in S. Peters Church at Westm, on the eleventh day of Febr. in the same year, had, much about that time, liberty al∣lowed him to keep his Prebendship in Commendam. In 1678 he was translated to Chichester on the death of Dr. Brideloake, and was confirmed therein on the eighth day of January the same year, but had not the name there for a Scholar, or liberal Benefactor, as his predices∣sor and kinsman had, named Dr. George Carleton. This Dr. Guy Carleton died in the City of Westminster during his attendance in Parliament, on the sixth day of July in sixteen hundred eighty and five:* 1.96 whereupon his body was conveyed, as I have been informed, to Chichester, and buried in the Cath. Ch. there. In the Bishoprick of Bri∣stow succeeded▪ Dr. Will. Goulson a Leicestershire man born, educated in S. Johns Coll. in Cambridge, and afterwards was Chaplaine to the Duchess of Sommerset. He was consecrated at Lambeth on the ninth day of▪ Febr. 1678; and dying at his Rectory of Symondsbury in Dorsetshire (to which he had been presented by the said Duchess) on the fourth day of Apr. an. 1684, was buried on the 18. day of the same month in the Chancel of the Church of that towne. In the See of Chichester succeeded Dr. Carle∣ton, the Bishop of Bristol, viz. Dr. Joh. Lake, in Aug. or Sept. 1685; who was one of the seven Bishops that were committed Prisoners to the Tower, on the 8. of June 1688, for contriving, making, and publishing a Seditious Libel against his Majesty (K. Jam. 2.) and his Government, that is for subscribing a petition to his Majesty, wherein he and the rest shewed the great aversness they found in themselves to the distributing and publishing in all their Churches, his Majesties then late Declaration for Liberty of Conscience, &c. After K. Will. 3. came to the Crown he was one of the Bi∣shops that denied the Oaths of Allegiance and Suprema∣cy to him, and on his death bed, in the latter end of Aug. 1689. he did publickly declare against them. In the said See succeeded Dr. Sim▪ Patrick Dean of Peterborough, who was consecrated thereunto on the 13. of Octob, following. This Bishop Lake who had been Rector of S. Botolphs Ch. without Bishopgate, London, hath written (1) A Serm. preached at Whitehall 29. of May 1670 being the day of his Majesties birth and restaurat. Lond. 1671. qu. (2) The Character of a true Christian, preached in the Parish Church of S. Botolph Bishopsgate at the funeral of Will. Cade Deputy of the Ward. Lond. 1690. qu, and other things as I conceive, but such I have not yet seen.

JOHN DOLBEN son of Dr. Will. Dolben, (by Elizabeth his wife, daugh. of Hugh Williams of Cyctiwil∣lair [ 65] in Caernarvanshire, a Captain somtiemes in Holland) son of Joh. Dolben of Haverford West in Pembrokshire, (de∣scended from those of his name in Denbighshire) by his wife Alice sister to Sir Tho. Middleton of Chirk Castle in the said County of Denbigh, became Bishop of Rochester in the place of Dr. Warner an 1666, and in 1683 was Tran∣slated to the Archiepiscopal See of York. He died in the beginning of the yeer, sixteen hundred eighty and six,* 1.97 under which year you may see more of him among the writers p. 600. In the said See, after it had laid void till Nov. 1688, did succeed Dr. Tho. Lamplugh Bishop of Exe∣ter, who upon the Prince of Aurang's arrival in the West, left Exeter and retired to London to pay his respects to King Jam. 2; which being taken very kindly by that King, he translated him to York on the 15 of the said month. The said Dr. Joh. Dolben was great Nephew to Dr. Joh. Williams Archb. of York, and had much of his boldness and confi∣dence in him but little of his learning: And whereas I have told you that the said Archb. Williams was, upon sup∣posal, buried at Aberconway (where he had built an House in the place of that wherein he was born, which he caused to be called Lincolns Inn) is false, for he was buried in the Church of Llandegay (which signifies the Church of S. Gay in the British language) near Bangor in Caernarvanshire, in which parish Penhryn the Seat somtimes of Archb, Williams is situated. He died at Glodded of a Quinsey in his throat, which being sudden, he told his attendants then by him that nothing troubled him more than that he should dye like a beast, that had alwaies liv'd like a Gentleman, &c. After∣wards his body being conveyed to Penhryn, was thence car∣ried

to the Church at Llandegay, and there buried in a little Vault at the upper end of the Chancel. Some years after, his Nephew and heir called Sir Griffith Williams ere∣cted on the north wall of the said Chancel a very fair mo∣nument, containing the Effigies of the Archbishop kneel∣ing, carved and wrought from white marble, with a large inscription under it, made by Dr. Joh. Hacket his some∣times Chaplain; the contents of which being large, I shall now for brevity sake pass by. But whereas the said Do∣ctor saith that he died 25 March 1650 is false, for he di∣ed on that day in 1649, aged 68 years or more.

JOHN FELL D. of D. and Dean of Christ Church in [ 66] Oxon, became Bishop of Oxford on the translation of Dr. Henry Compton to London, in the latter end of the year 1675, and dying in July in sixteen hundred eighty and six, (un∣der which year you may see more of him among the Wri∣ters,* 1.98 p. 602.) was succeeded in the said See by Dr. Samuel Parker, as I have among the Writers told you, and shall among these Bishops. He the said Dr. Fell left behind him the character among some men of a Valde vult person, who by his grasping at and undertaking too many affairs relating to the public (few of which he throly effected) brought him untimely to his end to the loss of learn∣ing, &c.

[ 67] JOHN LLOYD son of Morgan Lloyd was born of an antient family at Pentaine in Caermerthenshire, became a Student in Merton Coll. in Lent term 1655, aged 15 years or thereabouts, and took one degree in Arts as a member of that house. Afterwards he became Fellow of that of Jesus, Principal thereof on the resignation of Sir Leolin Jenkyns, D. of D. and Treasurer of Landaff. In 1682. 83. and 84 he did execute the Office of Vicechancellour of this University; and on the death of Dr. Laur. Womack being nominated by K. Jam. 2. to succeed him in the See of S. David, was consecrated thereunto at Lambeth on the 17 of Oct. 1686. Afterwards retiring to Oxon in a drop∣sical condition, died in Jesus Coll. on the thirteenth day of Febr. following,* 1.99 being then the first Sunday in Lent: Whereupon his body was buried at the upper end of the Chappel belonging to that Coll, near to the grave of Sir Leol. Jenkyns before mention'd. To the said See was no∣minated by the said King Dr. Tho. Watson of S. Johns Coll. in Cambridge, consecrated thereunto at Lambeth 26 June 1687, and afterwards, upon dislike of his person and for that he had been recommended by the L. Dover to the said King, he did suffer and endure many affronts and intole∣rable abuses from the Rabble, in Dec. 1688, just after the said King had left England for France.

[ 68] JAMES ETKINS or Atkins son of Henr. Atkins Sheriff and Commissary of Orknay, was born in the Town of Kirkwall in the Stewartry of Orknay in Scotland, educated in the Coll. of Edinburgh, where he commenced Master of Arts, afterwards he retired to Oxon to compleat his Learning, especially his Divinity, by the advice, instru∣ction and lectures of Dr. Prideaux an. 1637. 38. &c. Soon after he, upon recommendations, became one of the Chaplains to James Marquess of Hamilton at that time his Majesties High Commissioner for Scotland: In which sta∣tion he did acquit himself so well to the satisfaction of his noble Patron, that upon his return to England he procu∣red a Presentation for him from his Majesty to the Church of Birsa in the Stewartry of Orknay: where Continuing some years, his prudence, diligence and faithfulness in the discharge of his Office did procure him much of venera∣tion and respect from all persons, especially from his Or∣dinary, who confer'd upon him the dignity of Moderator to the Presbytery. In the beginning of the year 1650, when the noble James Marq. of Montross landed in Ork∣nay, this Dr. Atkins was nominated by the unanimous Votes of the said Presbytery to draw up a Declaration in their names and his own; which, with their approbation and consent, was published, containing very great expressions of Loyalty, and constant resolution firmly to adhere to their dutiful Allegiance. For this the whole Presbytery being deposed by the general Assembly of the Kirk at that time sitting at Edinburgh, the said Doctor was likewise ex∣communicated, as one that conversed with the said Mar∣quess, against whom they had emitted the like Brutum Fulmen. At that time the Scottish Council past an Act to apprehend him the said Doctor, to the end that he might be tried for his life; but upon private notice from his Kins∣man

Sir Archibald Primerose at that time Clerk to the said Council, he fled into Holland, where he sculked till 1653, and then returning into Scotland, he transfer'd his family to Edinburgh, where he resided quietly and obscurely till the year 1660. Upon the return then of his Majesty K. Ch. 2, he attended Dr. Tho. Sydserf Bishop of Galloway (the only Scottish Bishop who had the good fortune to survive the calamities of the Usurper's Government) to London, where the Bishop of Winchester presented him to the Recto∣ry of Winfrith in Dorsetshire, and continuing there till the year 1677▪ he was elected and consecrated Bish. of Mur∣ray in Scotland, to the great rejoycing of the Episcopal Par∣ty. In 1680 he was translated to the See of Galloway, with dispensation to reside at Edinburgh, because it was thought unreasonable to oblige a reverend Prelate of his years to live among such a rebellious and turbulent People as those of that Diocess were: the effects of whose fiery zeal hath too frequently appeared in affronting, beating, robbing, wounding, and sometimes murthering the Curates. He had the oversight of the said Diocess for 7 years, which he so carefully governed, partly by his pastoral Letters to the Synod, Presbyteries and Ministers, and partly by his great pains in undertaking a very great journey for a man of his age and infirmities to visit his Diocess, that had he resided on the place, better order and discipline could scarce be expected. He died at Edinburgh of an Apoplexy, on the 28 of Octob. in sixteen hundred eighty and seven,* 1.100 aged 74 years: Whereupon his body was decently inter'd in the Church of the Grey Friers there, at which time John then Bish. of Dunkeld (since deceased) preached his fune∣ral Sermon. His death was sadly regretted by all good and pious men, who knew him to be a man of great repu∣tation for his sincere piety, constant Loyalty, singular learning and true zeal for the Protestant Religion, accor∣ding to the Constitutions of the Church of England, of which he lived and died a worthy Member. Upon his Coffin was fastned this Epitaph,

Maximus Atkinsi pietate, & maximus annis, Ante diem, invitâ religione, cadis, Ni caderes, nostris inferret forsitan oris, Haud impune suos Roma superba Deos.

He was very zealous and vigorous in opposing the taking off the Penal Laws in Scotland; at which time, notwith∣standing he was so infirm by age and sickness that he could not walk, yet he was daily conveyed to the Parliament, where he declared publickly his aversion to the abolishing the said Penal Laws, and to use his interest with the No∣bility and Gentry of the Parl. in perswading them to a firm and constant adherence to the Protestant Religion, and to oppose all the designs that might be prejudicial to the same.

SAMUEL PARKER sometimes of Wadh, afterwards [ 69] of Trin. Coll, and Archd. of Canterbury, became B. of Oxford on the death of Dr. Fell, an. 1686, and dying in the lat∣ter end of sixteen hundred eighty and seven, (under which year you may see more of him among the Writers p. 616) was succeeded in the same See by Timothy Hall,* 1.101 as I shall tell by and by.

SETH WARD sometimes of Sidney Coll. in Cambridge and afterwards of that of Wadh. in Oxon, &c. was first made [ 70] B. of Exeter and afterwards of Salisbury; who dying in the beginning of Jan. in sixteen hundred eighty and eight, was succeeded in that See by Gilb. Burnet D. D. sometimes Preacher of the Rolls in Chancery lane in London,* 1.102 conse∣crated thereunto, according to the form prescribed in the book of Common Prayer, in the Chappel belonging to the B. of London's house at Fulham, by the B. of London, Win∣chester, Lincoln, Landaff, S. Asaph and Carlile, on Easter∣day, 31 of March 1689. The said Dr. Ward, did, about his Majesties restauration 1660 endeavour to make his Loyalty known by being imprison'd at Cambr, by his eje∣ction, his writing against the Covenant and I know not what, but not a word of his cowardly wavering for lucre and honour sake, of his putting in and out, and oc∣cupying other mens places for several years, &c. See among the Writers, p. 627.

HUMPHREY LLOYD the third son of Rich. Lloyd D. D. and Vicar of Ruabon in Denbighshire, by Jane his wife [ 71] the daughter of Rudderch Hughes Clerk, of the family of Maes••y Pandy, was born at Bod••y Fudden in the Parish of Trawsfynydd in the County of Merioneth, in Jul. or Aug.

an. 1610, became a Com. of Oriel Coll. for a time, after∣wards of Jesus where he was Scholar, and thence again to Oriel Coll, of which he became Fellow in 1631 and a great Tutor for many years. When the K. and Court were setled in Oxon he became known to Dr. Joh. Williams Archb. of York then there, who made him his Chapl. and gave him the Prebendship of Ampleford in the Church of York, which he kept to his death. After the decease of his father, which was in the time of the Troubles, he succeed∣ed him in the Vicaridge of Ruabon, but was soon deprived of it and his Prebendship by the Usurpers, till restored a∣gain to both by the happy Revolution in 1660. On the 13 of Aug. 1661 he was made Canon of S Asaph, and in the month following he was actually created D. of D. On the 14 of Dec. 1663 he was installed Dean of S. Asaph in the place of Dr. Dav. Lloyd deceased, and on the 19 of Dec. 1664 he resigned the Sinecure of Northop in Flintshire, in which he was succeeded by Mr. Will. Stone Princ. of New Inn in Oxon. In 1673 he was removed from Rua∣bon to the Vicaridge of Gresford, vacant by the death of his elder brother Mr. Sam. Lloyd, and soon after succeed∣ing Dr. Rob. Morgan in the See of Bangor, was consecra∣ted thereunto in the Chap. of London house in Lond. on Sun∣day the 16 of Nov. 1673 by Dr. Hinchman B. of London, Dr. Morley of Wint, Dr. Ward of Sal, Dr. Dolben of Roch. &c. at which time Dr. Will. Lloyd, who was afterwards successively B of Landaff, Peterb. and Norwich, preached the Consecration Sermon, and on the 5 of Jan. following he was installed at Bangor by proxy. In 1685 he procured the Archdeaconries of Bangor and Anglesie and the Sine∣cure of Llanrhaider in Kinmerch to be annexed to the Bi∣shoprick of Bangor, by Act of Parl. for ever, and two thirds of both the comportions of Llanddinam to the Ch, for the support of the Fabrick and the maintenance of the Choir of Bangor, and the other third for the maintenance of the Vicaridges belonging to Llanddinam. He ordered the four bells formerly bestowed by B▪ Hen. Rowlands on the Ch. of Bangor to be all new cast, and added a fifth bell bigger than the former, all at his own charge. He died on Friday the 18 of Jan. in six••een hundred eighty and eight,* 1.103 and was buried in the grave of B. Rowlands on the north side of the Altar, in the Cath. Ch. of Bangor, leaving then behind him three sons named John, Francis Archdeacon of Merioneth and Rector of Llandyrnoe, and Richard Registrary of Bangor, as also a Relict named Jane the daugh. of John Griffyth of Llyn Esq, widow of Owen Brereton of Burros Esq. The inscription on the Monu∣ment, which, I presume, is by this time put over his grave, runs thus. M. S. Humphredi Lloyd S. T. P. Episcopi Bangor, qui è familia Lloydorum de Dulasseu oriundus, in agro Merviniensi natus & in Acad. Oxon. educatus.

[ 72] THOMAS CARTWRIGHT sometimes of Qu. Coll, afterwards Prebendary of Durham, Dean of Rippon, &c. became B. of Chester, on the death of Dr. Jo. Pearson, an. 1686, and dying in the beginning of sixteen hundred eighty and nine (under which year you may see more of him among the Writers,* 1.104 p. 629.) was succeeded in the said See by Dr. Nich. Stratford Dean of S. Asaph, sometimes Fellow of Trin. Coll. in Oxon.

[ 73] WILLIAM THOMAS sometimes Fellow of Jesus Coll, afterwards Dean of Worcester, B. of S. David, and at length of Worcester, where dying in June in sixteen hundred eighty and nine,* 1.105 (under which year you may see more of him among the Writers, p. 635.) he was suc∣ceeded in that See by Dr. Edw. Stillingfleet Dean of S. Pauls Cathedral, to which he was consecrated in the Chappel of the B. of London at Fulham, with Dr. Simon Patrick to Chichester and Dr. Gilb. Ironside to Bristow, on the 13 of Octob. following.

[ 74] TIMOTHY HALL the son of a Turner of Wood, was born in the Parish of S. Catherine near the Tower of London, (where his father obtained some estate in houses) became a Student in Pembroke Coll. in the beginning of the

year 1654, aged 17 years or thereabouts, trained up there under a Presbyterian discipline, (which caused him ever after to be a Trimmer) took one degree in Arts, left the College without compleating it by Determination, and what preferment he enjoyed afterwards in, or near, the great City, I know not: sure I am, that several years af∣ter his Majesties restauration, he became Rector of All∣hallowes Staining in Mark lane in London; in which place we find him in 1688, when then, in the month of May or June, he, by vertue of his Majesties Declarations for Liberty of Conscience bearing date 4 and 27 of Apr. going before, did read in his Church, (when the generality of London Ministers refused) the said Declarations in the time of Service on a Sunday, or at least gave half a Crown to another (the Parish Clerk I think) to do it: for which great service, his then Maj. K. Jam. 2, did confer upon him the Bishoprick of Oxon, void by the death of Dr. Sam. Parker; an act so egregiously resented by the true sons of the Church of England, that they look'd upon it as a matter to bring their Church into contempt, by throwing upon it such an obscure person to be a father, as he had before, two or more, &c. without any regard had to me∣rit. He was consecrated at Lambeth by the Archb. of Can∣terbury, Bishops of Chichester and Chester, on the seventh of Octob. 1688; but when he came into these parts to see and take possession of his house at Cudesden, the Dean and Canons of Ch. Ch. refused to install him, the Gentry to meet or congratulate him, the Vicech. and Heads to take notice of him, or any Master or Bachelaur to make application to, or take holy Orders from, him: So that when he was in Oxon, at Whitsontide in the month of May 1689, Baptista Bishop of Man then there, did that duty in Magd. Coll. Chappel on the 26 of the said month, at which time 84 persons or thereabouts were ordained Ministers. This Mr. Hall, called by some Doctor, and by others Sir, Hall, died miserably poor at Hackney near London, on the tenth day of Apr. in sixteen hundred and ninety,* 1.106 and was buried in the Church there on the 13 of the same month. In the said See of Oxon succeeded John Hough D. D. Pre∣sident of Magd. Coll. This Bish. Hall hath published two Sermons, viz. one at the Funeral of Major Rob. Hunting∣don, who died suddenly of an Apoplexy 14 Aug. 1685, aged 70 or more: And the other at Mercers Chappel after he was Bishop: but neither of these have I yet seen. The said Rob. Huntingdon Esq (son of Rob. Huntingdon of Yar∣mouth in Norfolk) was Commissioner of the Excise at Lon∣don, had been a Major in a Regiment in the Parliament Army, left them when he saw they would take away the life of King Ch. 1. (to whom he had been very civil in the time of his affliction, which that King acknow∣ledges in his works) hated Oliver for his diabolical Procee∣dings, and was hated by him again so much that he impri∣soned him several times. His body was buried in the Ch. of Stanton Harcourt in Oxfordshire, of which Town he was Impropriator, by vertue of a Lease from Allsoules Coll.

EZEKIEL HOPKINS sometimes a member of Magd. [ 75] Coll, afterwards a Preacher near London, and in Exeter, and Dean of Raphoe in Ireland, was first made B. of Raphoe and afterwards of London Derry in that Country, who dy∣ing in June in sixteen hundred and ninety (under which year you may see more of him among the Writers p. 647.) Dr. George Walker was designed to succeed him,* 1.107 but he dy∣ing of his wound or wounds received in passing over the River Boyne in Ireland, when K. Will. 3. went with his Ar∣my to encounter that of K. Jam. 2, in the beginning of July following, the said Bishoprick of London Derry was confer'd by his Majesty K. Will. 3. in the beginning of Decemb. following, on Dr. Will. King Dean of S. Patricks Church near Dublin; at which time his said Majesty did dispose of other vacant Bishopricks in Ireland, viz. the Archbishoprick of Cashiell on Dr. Narciss. Marsh B. of Ferns, &c. the Bishoprick of Clogher, on Dr. Richard Tenison B. of Killala, the Bishoprick of Elphine on Dr. Sim. Digby B. of Limerick, the Bishoprick of Ferns on Dr. .... Vigures Dean of Armagh, the Bishoprick of Limerick on Dr. Nath. Wilson Dean of Raphoe, the Bishoprick of Clon∣fert on Dr. Will. Fitzgerald Dean of Cloyne, and the Bishoprick of Killala on Dr. ...... Lloyd Dean of Achonrey.
