THE Chancellour of the University this year, was Dr. Will. Laud Archb. of Canterbury; but he being accused of divers capital crimes in both Houses of Parliament, and thereupon com∣mitted first to private custody, and afterwards to the Tower of London, he made a resignation on the 22 of June of all authority and academi∣cal administration belonging to him in the University. Which re∣signation under his hand and seal, he sent with his Letter of the 25 of the said month to Oxford, giving therein very great tokens, in a lamenting manner, of his love and affection to the University. Both which being received, they were, after a new Chancellour had been elected, answer'd with great affection and piety. On first of July following, the said resignation being published in Convoca∣tion, Philip Herbert Earl of Pembroke and Mountgomery, &c. High Steward of the University was then elected Chancellour, and on the eight of the said month was installed in his House called Bay∣••ards Castle in London.

The Vicechancellour of the University this year was John Pri∣deaux D. D. Rector of Exeter Coll, design'd by the new Chancel∣lour Oct. 7, and soon after became Bish. of Worcester. But now Hierarchy dayly declining and Bishops not only ejected from the number of Peers in Parliament, but also divers Ecclesiastical Persons deprived of acting in secular affairs as aliene from their profession, this our worthy Vicechancellour both a spiritual and a temporal Judge next to the Chanc. in academical causes, being thereupon thought not fit (at least with safety) to execute his office, the Chanc. by his Letters dated 2 of Mar. this year, appointed a Laical person named Giles Sweit LL. D. his Commissary or Deputy to supply his turn in the Courts of Civil affairs of the University. Which office, tho it was for some time performed by him, (such were the times that required it) yet the like example we never before, or since, had.

• Feb.... Miles Martin B. A. of Dublin.
• Mar. 3. Tho. Locke B. A. of Dublin.

The last was lately Scholar of Trin. Coll. there: And whether ei∣ther of them were afterwards men of note, I know not.

This year Rich, Crashaw of Cambridge was incorporated, not that it appears so in the publick register, but in the private observations of a certain Master of Arts that was this year living in the Univer∣sity; but in what degree he was incorporated those observations mention not. This person who was the Son of an eminent Divine named Will. Crashaw, was educated in Grammar learning in Sutton•• Hospital called the Charter-house near to London, and in Academical, partly in Pemb. Hall of which he was Scholar, and afterwards in Peter House of which he was Fellow; where, as in the former House, his admirable faculty in Latin and English Poetry was well known. Afterwards he was Master of Arts, in which degree, 'tis probable, he was incorporated: But being soon after thrown out of his Fellowship, as many others of the said University of Cambridge were, for denying the Covenant in the time of the rebellion, he was for a time put to his shifts. At length upon an infallible fore∣sight that the Church of England would be quite ruined by the unlimited fury of the Presbyterians, he changed his reli∣gion and went beyond the Seas, and took up his abode for a time in the great City of Paris: But being a meer Scholar and very shift∣less, Mr. Abr. Cowley the Poet, did, upon intimation of his being there, find him out in a sorry condition, an. 1646 or thereabouts. Whereupon exhibiting to him, as much as laid in his power, for the present, did afterwards obtain for him Letters of commendation from Henrietta Maria Queen of England, then in those parts, and some relief. Afterwards he journied into Italy, and by virtue of those Letters he became (b) 1.2 Secretary to a Cardinal in Rome, and at

length one of the Canons or Chaplains of the rich Church of our La∣dy at Loretto some miles distant thence, where he died and was bu∣ried about 1650. Before he left England he wrot certain Poems, which were intit. Steps to the Temple, because in the Temple of God, under his wing, he led his life, in S. Maries Church near to Peter House before mention'd. There, as 'tis (c) 1.3 said, he lodged under Tertullians roof of Angels. There he made his nest more glad∣ly than Davids swallow near the House of God, where like a pri∣mitive Saint he offer'd more prayers in the night, than others usually offer in the day. There he pen'd the said Poems called Steps to the Temple for happy Souls to climb Heaven by. To the said Steps are joyned other Poems intit. The delights of the Muses, wherein are se∣veral Latin Poems; which tho of a more humane mixture, yet they are sweet, as they are innocent. He hath also written Carmen Deo nostro, being Hymns and other sacred Poems, addressed to the Coun∣tess of Denbigh. He was excellent in five Languages besides the Mother Tongue, viz. in Hebrew, Greek, Latin, Italian and Spanish; the two last whereof tho he had little use, yet he had the know∣ledg of them, &c.

Creations.

Nov. 18. James Casaubon of Exeter Coll. was actually created Master of Arts, which is all I know of him, only that he studied for some time in that House for the sake of the Rector Dr. Prideaux, meerly to advance himself in the knowledge of Divinity.

This year was a Student and Sojournour in the University for the sake of the Bodleian Library one Fabian Philipps of the Middle Tem∣ple Barrister, who some years before, in times of vacation, had also studied there, under the title of Juris studiosus.—This person who was eminent in his time, considering that his parts were never ad∣vanc'd, when young, by Academical education, was born at Prest∣bury in Glocestershire on the Eve of S. Michael an. 1601. His Fa∣ther was Andrew Philipps of an antient family in Herefordshire, born to a good estate in Lempster and near it, and his Mother was a Bagehott of a good family also and heir to one of her Brothers. When he was very young he spent some time in one of the Inns of Chancery, and thence translated himself to the Middle Temple, where, by his assiduity and continual lucubration, accompanied with a hap∣py memory, he became a Proficient in some sorts of learning, and at length a great lover and adorer and well vers'd in some parts, of, and in, ven. antiquity. He was always a zealous Assertor of the Kings prerogative, and so passionate a lover of K. Ch. 1. that two days before he was beheaded he wrot a Protestation against his in∣tended murder, which he printed and caused to be put on posts and in all common places. He was afterwards, if not before, Philizer for London, Middlesex, Cambridgshire and Huntingdonshire, and did spend much money in searching and writing for the asserting of the Kings prerogative, yet got nothing by it, only the employment of one of the Commissioners appointed for the regulation of the Law, worth 200 l. per an, which lasted only for two years. Among ma∣ny things that this worthy person hath written are these (1) Consi∣derations against the dissolving and taking away the court of Chancery and the Courts of Justice at Westminster, &c. Lond. 1653, Written when all the Courts of Justice in Westm. hall were voted down by the Little, called by some, Barebones, Parliament; for which he had the thanks of Lenthall the Speaker, and Keepers of the Liberties of England. (2) Tenenda non tollenda; or the necessity of preserving tenures in capite by Knights service, &c. Lond. 1660. (3) Restau∣randa. or the necessity of publick repairs, by setling of a constant and royal yearly revenue for the King, &c. Lond. 1662. qu. (4) The An∣tiquity, legality, reason, duty and necessity of prae-emption and pourvey∣ances for the King; or compositions for his conveyance, &c. Lond. 1663. (5) The antiquity and legality of Fines upon original writs in Chancery, &c. Ibid. 1663. (6) The mistaken recompence by the ex∣cise for the pourveyance and Tenures, &c. Ibid. 1664. (7) A perspe∣ctive glass: or some reasons against the registring Reformation, &c. Ibid. 1669. (8) A reforming Registry: or a representation of the very many mischiefs which will unavoidably happen by the needless, chargable and destructive way of Registries, proposed to be erected in every County of Engl. and Wales, for the recording of all deeds, evi∣dences, mortgages, &c. Ibid. 1671. qu. &c. (9) Ligeantia lugens: or Loyalty bewailing the want of pourveyance and tenures. (10) Some reasons for the continuance of the process of arrest. Ib. 1671. qu. (11) Regale necessarium: or the legality, reason and necessity of the rights and privileges justly claimed by the Kings Servants, &c. Ib. 1671. qu. (12) The antient, legal, fundamental and necessary rights of Courts of Justice, in their writs of Capias, arrests and process of out∣lawry, and the illegality, many mischiefs and inconveniences which may arrive to the People of England, by the proposals tendred to his Majesty and high Court of Parl. for the abolishing of that old and better way and method of Justice, and the establishing of a new by peremptory summons and citations in actions of debt. Lond. 1676. 77. (13) Rea∣sons against the taking away the process of arrest, which would be a loss to the Kings revenue, &c. Ibid. 1675. (14) Necessary defence of the Presidentship and Council in the principality and marches of Wales, in the necessary defence of England and Wales protecting each other. (15) Ursa Major & Minor. Shewing that there is no such fear, as is fa∣ctiously pretended of popery and arbitrary power. Lond. 1681. (16) Plea for the pardoning part of the Soveraignty of the Kings of Eng∣land. Ibid. 1682 (17) Investigatio Jurium antiquorum & rationa∣lium regni sive Monarchiae Angliae, &c. The established government of England, vindicated from popular and Reipublican principles and mistakes, with a respect to the Laws of God, Man, Nature and Na∣tions. Lond. 1686. 87. fol. (18) Legale necessarium. Or a true and

faithful accompt of the antiquity and legality of his Majesties and our Kings and Princes rights of and unto fines and amerciaments imposed and forfeited in his Courts of Justice, &c. He hath also written—Veritas inconcussa: or that K. Ch. 1. was no man of blood but a mar∣tyr for his people. Lond. 1660. oct, and other things not yet printed. At length having lived to a great age, he surrendred up his Soul to God on the 17 of Nov. 1690, and was buried near to the body of his Wife, in the south west part of the Church of Twyford near to Acton in Middlesex. Some years before he died he made his own epitaph, which begins thus. Ms Fabiani Philipps Armigeri, Med•••• Temp••i socii, qui quosdam perfidos & ingratos nimium amicos amando, seipsum non uti potuit amavit, curis libris{que} consenuit, &c. But whe∣ther it is put over his grave I know not.

Chanc. Philip Earl of Pembroke, &c. sometimes a Nobleman of New Coll.

Vicechanc. &c. The year of Vicechancellourship of Dr. Pri∣deaux Bishop of Worcester being ended, and he about the feast of S. John Bapt. not only quitting all right therein, without laying down the Ensigns of his office as the manner is, but rather leaving the University abruptly, as the advantage of time offer'd; the office for some time laid void, and nothing of it was done but by Depu∣ties. The which, for what reason it so hapned, is perhaps at this time too great a trouble for me to tell. For now the University the mother of togated peace being affrighted with the unwonted ru∣mours of a civil war, the Muses deserted, and the adorers of them every where dispersed, knew not (as if put between the anvil and the hammer) which way to turn it self, or seek rest. The admini∣stration therefore of its government, was successively according to the manner of our Predecessors committed to Deputies, of whom the first was Dr. Rob. Pink Warden of New Coll; who for his Loy∣alty in raising and setling the University Militia for the defence of it from the common incursions of the enemy, and for endeavouring to make the Citizens provide also men and arms for the defence of their City, they being then backward in so doing, he was after∣wards treacherously seized on at Aylesbury, carried to Westminster and committed Prisoner to the Gatehouse there, about the 12 of Sept. After him Dr. Tolson Provost of Oriel succeeded as Provice∣chancellour, continuing in the said office (none, as I think, inter∣vening) till the 7 of Feb. following; a little before which time he being nominated by the Chancellours Letters sent to the University, was, on the same day in a Convocation then held, sworn and ad∣mitted. Vicechancellour by the consent of the Doctors and Masters then present.

Dec. 7. Will. Harvey sometimes of Caies Coll. in Cambridge, af∣terwards Doctor of Phys. of the Univ. of Padua, and at his return into England, of Cambridge, was then incorporated Doctor of the said faculty in this University.—This person who was son of Tho. Harvey Gent. by Joan Halke his wife, was born at Folksten in Kent on the second day of Apr. 1578, sent to a Grammar school in Can∣terbury at 10 years of age, and at 14 to Gonvil and Caies Coll. in Cambr. At 19 years of age he travelled into France and Italy, and at 23 he had for his Instructors in Medicine at Padua Eustac. Radius, Joh. Tho. Minadous and H. Faber ab Aquapend. At 24 he became Doct. of Phys. and Chirurgery, and returning into England soon af∣ter, he practised Phys. in London and married. At 25, or there∣abouts, he was made Fellow of the Coll. of Phys. at London, and at 37, Professor of Anatomy and Chirurgery: About which time (which was in the year of our Lord 1615) he discovered the wonderful se∣cret of the Bloods circular motion, by which the anatomical part of Physick seemed then to be rising towards the Zenith of Perfection. At 54 years of age he was made Physitian to K. Ch. 1, (having, as 'tis said by some, been Physitian to K. Jam. 1.) and adhering to him in the beginning of the troubles, he attended him at Edghill battel. Thence going with him to Oxon, was there incorporated, as before 'tis told you. In 1645 he was elected Warden of Merton Coll. by vertue of the Kings letters sent to the Society of that house for that purpose, but in the year following, when Oxford Garrison was surrendred for the use of the Parliament, he left that office and retired to London. In 1654 he was chosen President of the Coll. of Physitians, but refused to accept of that honorable place: And after he had lived to see his doctrine (the circulation of the blood) with much ado established, (being the only man as one (a) 1.4 saith that did so) he surrendred up his soul to him that gave it, on the 30 of June an. 1657. Soon after his body being lap'd up in lead, it was conveyed to Hempsted in Essex, and deposited in a Vault under part of the Church there. Several monuments of his learning, which have been, and are received into the hands of all curious men, as well abroad as at home, are extant, as the Oxford or Bodletan Ca∣talogue will partly tell you; (besides his New Principles of Philoso∣phy, containing Philosophy in general, Metaphysicks, &c.) but more in MS. he hath left behind him; the titles of which you may see in the Epist. dedicat. before An historical account of the Colleges (Coll. of Phys.)

Godwin Bishop of Hereford, whose Annales rerum Anglicarum, &c. he translated into English, as I have told you in the first vol. p. 497.498. What other things he hath translated, or what written, I know not, nor any thing else of him, only that he was a Native of the Isle of Anglesie.

Feb. 21. Rob. Creygton D. D. of Trin. Coll. in Cambr.—He was incorporated M. of A. an. 1628 as in the Fasti of that year, in the first vol. p. 861. I have told you. He wrot the Preface to Dr. Rich.

Francis Walsal D. D. of Cambr. was incorporated the same day.—This person who was forced away from his benefices by the severi∣ty of the Presbyterians, did now attend the King in Oxon, and did afterwards participate of afflictions with other Royalists. In 1660, after his Majesties return, I find him Rector of Sandey in Bedford∣shire, Prebendary of Westminster, and author of (1) The bowing of the heart of Subjects to their Soveraigne, Sermon preached 24 May 1660, being a day of Thanksgiving for the raising up his Excellen∣cy the L.

CREATIONS.

After the battel at Edghill in Warwickshire between his Majesties Forces and those belonging to the Parliament, the King retired to Oxon, and setling for a time in Ch. Ch. it was his pleasure that there should be a Creation in all faculties of such that had either done him service in the said battel, or had retired to him at Oxon for shelter to avoid the barbarities of the Presbyterians then very fre∣quent throughout the Nation. Some called this Creation the Caro∣line Creation.

From the 1 of Nov. to the 16 of January, were actually created 15 Bachelaurs, at least, of the Civil Law, of whom John Sutton, George Walker, Will. Birkenhead and Rich. Blome son of Joh. Blome of Brecknockshire Gent. were of the number. Which last I here set down, not that he was a man of note, but only to distinguish him from one of both his names, who was originally a Ruler of Paper, and now a Scribler of books. See in the first vol. p. 389.390.

I find also to be created Bach. of the Civ. Law, an Inhabitant of S. Aldates Parish in Oxon called John Holloway Official to the Arch∣deacon and Registrary, of Berkshire: which▪ John was father to Rich. Halloway sometimes Fellow of New Coll, and afterwards a Counsellor of the Inner Temple, and a person for several years well reputed in these parts for his upright dealing in his profession. To which I must add, that in 1677 he was by writ called to be Serjeant at Law, and in 1683 he was knighted and made one of the Justi∣ces of the Kings Bench in the place of Just. Thom. Raymond. In th•• beginning of July 1688 he and Sir Joh. Powell another Just. of the same Bench, did receive their Quietus from K. Jam. 2, because they had a little before given in their minds and opinions to the Jury in the Court of the Kings Bench at Westm, at which time they were two of the four Judges in the Proceedings and Tryal in the case of William Archb. of Cant, and six Bishops, that the Petition of the said Archb. and Bishops to his Maj, wherein they shewed the great a∣verseness they found in themselves to the distributing and publishing in all their Churches his Majesties then late Declaration for liberty of Con∣science, &c. was not libellous or seditious as Sir Rob. Wright L. Ch. Justice and Just. Rich. Alleb••ne the other two Judges did. Which act of Justice Holloway being much applauded by the true sons of the Church of England, yet for other matters he was one of those many persons that were excepted out of the Act of Indemnity or Pardon of their Majesties K. Will. 3. and Qu. Mary, dated 23 May 1690.

Mast. of Arts.

From the first day of Nov. to the 21 of Feb, were more than an hundred and forty Masters actually created, of which number were these following.

Nov. 1. James Duke of York.—He was afterwards King of En∣gland by the name of K. James the 2.

Dom. Henr. Howard.

Tho. Bosvile or Boswell a Kentish man (of Aynsford I think) and a Colonel in the Kings Army.—One Tho. Boswell who had been knighted by his Maj. at Durham in the beginning of May 1642, was buried in S▪ Maries Church in Oxford 25 Oct. 1643. Whether he was the same who was created Master of Arts, or the same Sir Tho. Boswell who had a daughter named Isabel the wife of Tho. Gifford Doctor of Physick before mentioned, I cannot justly tell.

George Manwaring an Officer in the Kings Army.

Will. Dugdale one of the Officers of Arms called Rougecroix, now (1642) lodging in Hart Hall.—This noted person who was son of John Dugdale, son of James Dugdale of Clether••w in Lancashire Gent, was born at Shustock in the County of Warwick, on the 12 of Sept. 1605 (3 Jac. 1.) at which time was a swarm of Bees in his fathers garden, then esteemed by some a happy presage on the behalf of the Babe. This accident being many years after related by Mr. Will. Dugdale to the famous Figure-flinger Will. Lilly, he thereupon very readily told him that that swarm of bees did foretell that the Infant should in time prove a prodigy of industry, &c. But the Reader is to know, that the said Lilly told him the said Will. Dugdale so, after most of his industry was made public. His first education in Grammar learning was under one Thom. Sibley Curat at Nether Whitacre near to Shustock before mentioned, with whom continuing till he came to ten years of age or more, was afterwards sent to the Free-school at Coventry then presided by one James Cran∣ford, father of James Cranford, mentioned among the Writers, pag. 133. After he had continued in the said School till almost he was 15 years of age, he was taken home by his father, from whom he received instructions in reading that noted Law-book called Little∣tons Tenures, and some others of that profession, besides History: In all which he soon after, by his indefatigable industry, became well vers'd. In the latter end of 1622, (his father being then grown infirm) he took to him a wife, and in 1625 (1 Car. 1.) his said father being then dead, he purchased the Mannour of Blythe in the Parish of ••hustock: At which place setling soon after, he composed most of his Books, particularly that of The An••iquities of Warwick∣shere illustrated. His natural inclination tending then chiefly to the study of Antiquities and History, he was not a little encouraged thereto by one Sam. Roper a Barrester of Lincolns Inn, much estee∣med for his knowledge and abilities in those studies: with whom (by reason he was Cosin-German to Rich. Seawell who had married his sister) he had first acquaintance about the year 1618, and with whom he afterwards many times conversed. After Mr. Dugdale was setled at Blythe commonly called Blythe Hall, because situated on the River Blythe, he read The Description of Leycestershire, writ∣ten and published by Will. Burton of Lindley in that County Esquire, (about 8 miles distant from Blythe Hall: with which being much ta∣ken, and thereby encouraged to do something of that nature for Warwickshire, he was introduced into his acquaintance by one Mr. Fisher Dilke of Shustock, a near Kinsman of the said Burton, to the end that he might receive instructions for the management and pro∣motion of his studies. Mr. Burton being very much taken with the forwardness of the young man in his most early attempts, he was resolved to encourage him in his labours to the utmost of his power. Whereupon he brought him into the acquaintance of Sir Sim. Archer of Ʋmberslade in the Parish of Tamworth in the said County of Warwick Knight; who being much affected with the stu∣dies of Heraldry and Antiquities, and having made very choice and considerable Collections out of divers antient Writings relating to the said County, and the families thereof, he did not only commu∣nicate to him what he had got together, but brought him acquaint∣ed with most of the Gentlemen of note in the County. These Gen∣tlemen having perused the labours of Mr. Burton before mention'd, were thereupon desirous thro Sir Sim. Archer's incitation, to preserve the honor of their Families by such a work, as the said Mr. Burton had done for Leycestershire; and for that purpose they would (as afterwards they did) communicate to him the sight of their antient Deeds and Evidences. Among the said Gentlemen, he found none more knowing in, and forward to encourage such a work, than Sir Sim. Clarke of Brome Court in the Parish of Salford, who with all freedom imparted to him not only divers antient Writings of con∣sequence, but also the Leiger-book of the Priory of Kenilworth, from which he found copious matter, as by his frequent quotation of it in The Antiquities of Warwicksh. it appears. The acquaintance of the said three persons, Burton, Clarke, and Archer, he endeavou∣red to continue with all observance imaginable, especially with the last, which began about 1630; but so it fell out that our Author Dugdale could not be more forward to continue, than Sir S. Archer was to promote, it, and withall to encourage him in his great de∣signs; which did evidently afterwards appear, as the sequel will tell you. In Easter term 1638 Sir Simon with his Lady intended to go to London, and thereupon importun'd Mr. Dugdale to accom∣pany them in that Journey, assuring him that it would be worth his labour if he could spare so much time from his beloved study. This being easily assented to, they had several discourses in their way for the promotion of his designs; and when they were at their journeys ••nd▪ the first matter that Sir Simon did, he brought our Author Dugdale into the acquaintance of the learned Sir Hen. Spel∣man, a person famous for his knowledge in Antiquities, but then near 80 years of age, This worthy Knight received him with great humanity, and after some discourse and ••ight of several of his Col∣lections relating to The Antiquities of Warwickshire, he found that he was a great Proficient, and had made a considerable progress in those studies; and then told him, that seeing he was a person so

much inclined to that learning, he thought him very fit to serve the King in the Office of Arms, and that the most noble Thomas Earl of Arundel, then Earl Marshal of England, having, by virtue of that great office, the nomination of all such as were admitted into that Society, would esteem it a good service to the publick, to prefer such thereunto, as were thus naturally qualified and found sedulous in those studies; offering to recommend Mr. Dugdale to his Lord∣ship for that purpose. Soon after Sir Henry having acquainted his Lordship of him and his fitness for the office, he was introduced in∣to the presence of that honorable person by Sir George Gres••eley of Drakelow in Derbyshire Baronet, who was then in London, and well known to his Lordship. During Mr. Dugdale's stay in London, he repaired sometimes to the Lodging of Sir Hen. Spelman, who among several discourses concerning their faculty, he told him that one Roger Dodsworth a Gent. of Yorkshire had taken indefatigable pains in searching of Records and other antient Memorials relating to the Antiquities of that County, but especially touching the foundations of Monasteries there, and in the northern parts of the Realm: which work he did not a little commend to the pains and care of some industrious and diligent searchers into hidden Antiquity; af∣firming, that out of his great affection thereto, in his younger years, he had got together the Transcripts of the foundation Char∣ters of divers Monasteries in Norfolk and Suffolk, (himself being a Norfolk, man) much importuning Mr. Dugdale to joyn with Dods∣worth in that most commendable work, which, by reason of his youth and forwardness to prosecute those studies, might in time be brought to some perfection, as Mr. Dugdale hath informed me by his Letters, adding withall, that he the said Mr. Dugd. did readily incline, and within few days following casually meeting with Mr. Dodsworth in the Lodgings of Mr. Sam. Roper at Linc. Inn, and ac∣quainting each other what they were then in hand with, as to their farther progress in those studies, they readily engaged themselves to prosecute what Transcripts they could from any Leiger books, pub∣lick Records, original Charters, or other Manuscripts of note in or∣der thereto; but still with this reservation, that Mr. Dugdale should not neglect his Collections touching The Antiq. of Warwickshire; wherein he had by that time made a considerable progress. During his stay in London, he became acquainted with one Rich. Gascoign•• a Yorkshire Gentleman, who also stood much affected to those stu∣dies, especially as to matter of Pedigree, wherein he had taken some pains for divers northern Families, especially for that noble and antient Family of Wentworth: And having great interest with Sir Christop. Hatton of Kirby in the County of Northampton Knight of the Bath, (afterwards created Lord Hatton) a person highly affe∣cted to Antiquities, and who had not spared for any charge in ob∣taining sundry choice Collections from publick Records, Leiger books, and antient Charters and divers old MSS, he brought him to that most worthy person, (then lodging in an Apothecaries hous•• without Temple-bar) by whom he was welcomed with all expres∣sions of kindness, and readiness in furthering his studies. In order thereunto he soon after brought him acquainted with his near Kins∣man Sir Tho. Fanshaw at that time the Kings Remembrancer in the Exchequer: By reason of which great Office he had the custody of divers Leiger-books and other choice Manuscripts, especially that notable Record called the Red book, as also Testa de Nevill, Kerby's Quest, Nomina Villarum and others: to all which, by his favour, he had free access. Nor was he less careful to obtain the like access for him to the Records in the Tower of London, by his interest with old Mr. Collet, the chief Clerk at that time there under Sir John Bur∣roughs; whom he amply rewarded with sundry kind gratuities for his friendliness in assisting Mr. Dugdale with what he thought proper for his purpose, from those rarities there reposed. He also about that time was introduced by the said Mr. Roper into the acquaintance of Sir Tho. Cotton Baronet, whereby he had free access to that in∣comparable Library in his house near Westminster Hall, began and set up by his father that noted Antiquary Sir Rob. Cotton Baronet, where finding rare MSS. and original Charters in that incompara∣ble Treasury, made such Collections thence as were of singular use in several Volumes, which have since been made publick by the press. He was likewise introduced by the said Mr. Roper into the acquaintance of Mr. Scipio Squire then one of the Vicechamberlains of the Exchequer, thro whose kindness and favour, he had access to that venerable Record called Domesday-book, as also to the Fines, Plea-Rolls, and sundry other Records remaining in the Treasury there. Nor was Sir Christ. Hatton backward in giving him all pos∣sible encouragement in those his studies: For having seconded Sir H. Spelman in recommending him to the Earl of Arundel, that Earl sent for him in Septemb. following (an. 1638) and obtained the Kings Warrant to create him a Pursevant at Arms extraordinary, by the title of Blanch Lyon, and thereupon so created him at the Kings royal Pallace of Richmond in Surrey upon the 24 of that instant Sept. Also upon the removal of Mr. Edw. Walker then Pursevant called Rogue-Croix to the Office of Chester Herald, his Lordship obtained his Majesties Letters Pat. for creating him Rogue-Croix Pursevant in ordinary, bearing date 18 of Mar. 1639. By which means having a Lodging in the Heralds Office, and some benefit by funerals and other ways, with the yearly Salary of 20 l. out of the Kings Exche∣quer for his support, he thenceforth spent the greatest part of his time in London, in order to the augmenting his Collections out of the Records in the Tower and other places in and near the said City, till by the influence of a very forward and predominant Party in the most unhappy Parliam. that began at Westm. 3 Nov. 1640, which aiming at the subversion of Religion established, (which came af∣terwards to pass) and unjustifiable extirpation of monarchick Go∣vernment, whereby nothing less could be expected than the pro∣faning of all places of Gods publick Worship, destruction of monu∣ments

in Churches, and defacing whatsoever was beautiful and or∣namental therein, the said Mr. Dugd. therefore receiving encourage∣ment from Sir Chr. Hatton before mention'd, then a member of the H. of C. for Higham-Ferres in Northamptonsh, who timely foresaw the near approaching storm, did in the summer time 1641 (taking with him one Will. Sedgwick a skilful Arms-painter) repair first to the Ca∣thedral of S. Paul within the City of London and next to the Abbey Church of Westminster, and there made exact draughts of all the monuments in each of them, copied the Epitaphs according to the very letter; as also of all Arms in the Windows or cut in stone: All which being done with great exactness, Mr. Dugdale rode to Peterborough in Northamptonshire, Ely, Norwich, Lincoln, Newark upon Trent, Beverley, Southwell, Kingston upon Hull, York, Selby, Che∣ster, Lichfield, Tanworth, Warwick, and did the like in all those cathedral, collegiate, conventual and divers other parochial Churches, wherein any tombs and monuments were to be found, to the end that the memory of them (in case if that ruin then emi∣nent might come to pass) might be preserved for future and better times. As it was feared, so it soon after fell out, all things thro the influence of the predominant party in that Parliament looking eve∣ry day more and more that way, insomuch as in the middle of Ja∣nuary following the King himself, his Queen and royal issue, forc'd by tumults, were constrained to betake themselves for safety to other places, viz. the King, Prince and Duke of York unto the Ci∣ty of York, and the Queen to her own relations in France. His Ma∣jesty being therefore necessitated at that time to continue in those northern parts, where many of the Nobility attended him, he did by his Warrant under his royal Signet manual, bearing date 1 June 1642, command the said Mr. Dugdale forthwith to repair thither to him according to the duty of his place. Upon the reception of which he obeyed and continued at York till about the middle of July, at which time he received his Majesties farther command to attend Spencer Earl of Northampton then L. Lieutenant of the Coun∣ty of Warwick, who was endeavouring to secure the chief places of that County and near it, and to disperse the Forces under the Lord Brook, which he had gathered together for the Parliament, by the Trained-Band Soldiers and other loyal persons under him. But they having secur'd the Castles of Banbury and Warwick, Mr. Dug∣dale did (by command from his Maj. who was advised at York of their proceedings) in his Coat of Arms, with a Trumpet sounding before him, repair to those Castles, and required them to disband and to deliver up their Arms, requiring also the said L. Brook and his Adherents to disband, &c. Accordingly the Castle of Banbury, with all the Arms and Ammunition therein were delivered up, but the Castle of Warwick being a place of more strength and defended by a greater number of Soldiers, under the command of Sir Edw. Peto of Chesterton in that County Knight, they did contemn the said Summons, &c. Afterwards when the King marched southward from York, and had taken up his quarters for some time at Stonley house about 4 miles distant from Coventry, on the 19 of Aug. 1642 Mr. Dugdale did, by his Majesties special Warrant dated the next day, summon the said City of Coventry (a little before taken in for the use of the Parliament) with his Coat bearing the Kings Arms thereon and a Trumpet sounding before him, to the end that the Defenders deliver up their Arms to his Majesty, and depart peace∣ably to their respective homes, &c. but they obstinately denying his Summons, he proclaimed them Traytors, and forthwith returned. Afterwards he attended the King at Kineton commonly called Edg∣hill in Warwickshire, where the grand battel between him and his Army and that belonging to the Parliament was fought on the 23 of Oct. 1642. Which battel being finished and the royal party victo∣rious, he attended his Maj. to Oxon, and thence to Reading and Brainford, his Maj. intending for London; but finding the power of the Rebels much recruited by the Inhabitants of that populous City, he did, after some skirmishes had at Brainford (where the royal party took many Prisoners) return to Oxford, fix his chief re∣sidence there, and fortified that City with Bulwarks for the better security thereof. So that Mr. Dugdale being bound by his place to attend his Majesty, he setled for a time in Hart Hall, and on the 1 of Nov. 1642 he was actually created Master of Arts, as I have before told. About that time he committed to writing the most memorable passages in the battel at Edghill: and that the relation of all particulars might be the better understood, he went to that place in Feb. following, being accompanied with some Gentlemen of note. At which time taking with him a skilful Surveyor, he rode to Banbury (the Castle there being then his Majesties Garrison) and thence to the field where the battel was fought, which he ex∣actly surveyed, and noted where each Army was drawn up, where the Canons were placed, and the graves where the slain persons were buried; observing also from the relation of the neighbouring Inhabitants the certain number which lay buried in each pit or grave: Which by a just computation did not amount to full one thousand, tho the report of the Vulgar made them at least five thou∣sand. Returning thence to Oxford, he continued there by his Ma∣jesties command until the surrender of that Garrison for the use of the Parliament, 24 June 1646, which wanted not 4 months of 4 years, (his Estate in the Country being all that while sequestred) in which time he notwithstanding got a subsistance by attending the Funerals of several noble persons and of others of great quality (some of which were slain in the Wars) according to the duty of his Office. On the 16 of Apr. 1644 he was created Chester Herald upon the promotion of Sir Edw. Walker to be Norrey, and soon after he took a journey to Worcester, within which Diocess the southern parts of Warwickshire lye: where, having perusal of the Registers both of the Bishop and Dean and Chapter, he thence extracted se∣veral Collections, in order to his historical work of Warwickshire,

as he before had done at Lichfield (within which Diocess the rest of the said County lies) as by the quotations in the elaborate work of The Antiq. of Warwicksh. (afterwards made public) it appears. While he continued in Oxon. where he had leisure enough to fol∣low his studies, he applied himself to the search of such Antiquities as were to be found in the famous Bodlelan Library, as also in the Libraries of certain Colleges, and in private hands, as he thought any way conduceable to the furtherance of the work designed by Rog. Dodsworth and himself touching the Monastery-foundations be∣fore mention'd; as also of whatsoever might relate to matter of History in reference to the Nobility of this Kingdom: in which he found very much for that purpose, whereof he made great use in his Volumes intit. The Baronage of England, since published. Af∣ter the surrender of Oxford, Mr. Dugdale repaired to London and made his Composition in Goldsmiths Hall for at least 168 l. After which having proceeded very far in collecting materials in the Country for his designed work of Warwickshire, he repaired again to London for the farther perusal of the Records in the Tower and other places, and there perfected his Collection touching the Anti∣quities of that County, where hapning to meet with Mr. Dods∣worth, he told him how he had bestowed his time in Oxon and else∣where, by gaining materials in order to that work of the Monaste∣ries, and Mr. Dodsworth did the like to him: whereby Mr. Dugd. did understand that he had transcribed many Foundation-Charters and other Grants of consequence, relating to the Monasteries of Yorkshire, and some other northern Counties, which he copied for the most part from the Originals remaining in sundry large chests deposited in S. Maries Tower at York. This Tower, with all such evidences therein, was accidentally blown up in the War time; so that had not Mr. Dodsworth made his Collections thence before that accident fell out, the loss would have been irreparable. Other matters that he collected thence are now in many volumes remain∣ing in the Bodleian Library by the gift of Thomas Lord Fairfax, who also, to his great honour be it spoken, shew'd himself very generous to all such Soldiers at York that could retrieve any of the said Char∣ters that were so blown up. After Mr. Dugdale's communication with Mr. Dodsworth concerning each others Collections, he waited upon the Lady Eliz. Hatton to Calais in the month of May 1648, there to meet with the Lord Hatton her husband from Paris: which being so done, he went back with that Lord thither; and making stay there about three months, he, thro the favour of Mons••er Franc. du Chesne son to the learned Andr. du Chesne deceased, had a view of divers excellent Collections made by the said Andrew, relating to divers Monasteries in France, Normandy, and other parts of that Kingdom. Among which discovering divers things of note touching divers Religious Houses in England formerly called Priories Aliens (which had been Cells to sundry great Abbies in foreign parts) he took copies of them, of which he made good use in those volumes called Monasticon Anglicanum, afterwards published; and then returned into England, having Letters of safe conduct under the Sign manual and Signet of the then Queen of England Henrietta Maria, bearing date at S. Germans in Lay, upon the third of Aug. This so fair and industrious Collection being got together by Mr. Dodsworth, as hath been observed, as also that made by Mr. Dugdale gathered out of divers Leiger-books and other au∣thentick MSS. at Oxon, did encourage them to proceed in perfect∣ing the work. Whereupon they resolved to go to the Records in the Tower of London, to which having free admission, they made a perfect and thorough search, and took copies of all that they deemed most material for their work. Which being done, they retired to the Cottonian Library, making the like search there, and left nothing omitted from the multitudes of Leiger-books there, that might serve them in that most elaborate work. Their business being there finished, Mr. Dugdale discovered many bundles of pa∣pers of State, which were original Letters and other choice memo∣rials obtained by Sir Rob. Cotton from sundry hands, some whereof were the Transactions between Cardinal Wolsey, Thom. Cromwell (afterwards Earl of Essex) Secretary Will. Paget, Sir Will. Cecil Lord Burleigh, Secretary Francis Walsingham and others, relating as well to foreign, as domestick, affairs: As also the Letters and Papers of Mary Qu. of Scots, Thomas Duke of Norfolk, &c. All which Mr. Dugdale sorted methodically, both as to time and other∣wise, and caus'd them to be bound up with clasps, and Sir Tho. Cotton's Arms impressed on each side of every book, with the Con∣tents in the beginning, what each book contained: All which a∣mounted to 80 volumes, and were made useful to all lovers of hi∣storical learning. The Collections of the two volumes of the Mo∣nastery Foundations, intit. Monast. Anglic. being thus compleated, and the publishing of them by the Press, desired, an offer was made to several Booksellers of the Copies, upon such different terms as might have defrayed the charge of those Transcripts so made from Records and otherwise, as hath been observed. But the Booksel∣lers not willing to adventure on them, Mr. Dodsworth and Mr. Dug∣dale joined together, and hired several sums of money to defray the cost and expence of them. The care of which work as to the Printing, lay totally on Mr. Dugdale, because Mr. Dodsworth died in Lancashire about the midst of August, an. 1654, before the tenth part of the first vol. came off from the Press. The first vol. being finished an. 1655, a stop was made for some years of bringing the second to the Press, until the greatest part of the impression was sold, whereby money might be had to go on therewith. Mr. Dug∣dale therefore having with no small pains and charge finished his Collections in order to his designed historical work of Warwicksh. Antiquities, and at length perfected the frame thereof, was at the whole charge of Printing, and Paper for publishing the same; and continued in London to correct the Press himself, by reason that the

ordinary Correctors were not skil'd at all in the Pedigrees. Which book was finished and expos'd to sale an. 1656. In the time of his continuance in London, he casually met with one Mr. Reading a Northamptonshire Gent, who had been Clerk of the Nisi prius for the midland-Circuit, and with whom he had been formerly ac∣quainted. This Mr. Reading knowing Mr. Dugdale to be an inde∣fatigable searcher into Records, he friendly invited him to his house at Scrivners Hall (near Silverstreet) promising to shew him divers old MSS, original Charters, and other ancient Writings. So that he going thither accordingly, he brought forth five antient MSS. in folio, which were Chartularies of the Lordships and Lands first given to the Cath. Ch. of S. Paul in London. All which he freely lent, to carry with him to his house in Warwickshire till Mich. term ensuing, and then upon the restoration of them, he should have use of as many more. But in the said Term when he went to London to restore them, (whence he had extracted what he thought fit, as to any historical use) he found that Mr. Reading was dead, and had constituted one Mr. Williams a Barrister of the Temple his Ex∣ecutor. Whereupon Mr. Dugd. addressing himself to that person to desire a sight of the rest▪ he brought him to Scrivners Hall and there shew'd him many other Manuscript-books, original Charters, old Rolls, and other very antient Writings in bags and hampers, rela∣ting to the said Cathedral of S. Paul. All which he freely lent to Mr. Dugdale (amounting to no less than ten Porters burthens) to be carried to his lodgings. Being thus in his private custody, he first bestowed pains to sort them into order, and afterwards made extracts from them of what he found historical in reference to that Cath. Ch. And to the end that the memory of those many anti∣ent monuments therein, which were afterwards utterly destroyed (the Church also being made a Horse-garrison by the Usurpers) might be continued to posterity, Mr. Dugdale did by the help and favour of sundry worthy persons, who voluntarily offered to be at the charge of the plates, in which the Representations were cut in brass, as also the prospects of that whole Fabrick (inside and out∣side) accomplish the same. Further also having succinctly framed an historical narration of the first foundation and endowment of the said Church, as also of all the Chantries, and what else was most memorable therein, or relating thereto, made it publick by the Press, an. 1658.

But as the longest day hath its evening, so did it at last please the omnipotent to put a period to the tyrannous actions of the said Usurpers by the most miraculous Restauration of King Ch. 2. an. 1660, which was about •••• years after the most execrable murder of his royal Father. At which time to prevent the importunity of others, who aimed at the Office of Norroy King of Arms, void by the promotion of Sir Edw. Walker to the Office of Garter (whom I shall mention by and by) Sir Edw. Hyde Kt, then Lord Chancellor, and afterwards Earl of Clarendon, having seen the Antiquities of Warwickshire and the first vol. of Monasticon, did move the King on the behalf of Mr. Dugdale for the said place. Whereupon it be∣ing readily granted, there was a special Warrant made under the royal Signet to prepare a Patent for the same: Which Patent, after his Majesties return, passed the Great Seal accordingly on the 18 of June 1660. At the same time the second vol. of Mon. Angl. was in the Press, and the next year 'twas published: During the printing of which, he laboured about his historical work of Imbanking and drayning the Fens and Marshes, deduced out of public Records and antient MSS, at the instance of the Lord Gorges and others, who were the principal Adventurers in that costly and laudable Under∣taking for drayning the great Level, extending into a considerable part of the Counties of Cambridge, Huntingdon, Northampton, Nor∣folk and Suffolk. This book was adorned with several exact Maps of the parts and places so drayned, and was published in 1662. Further also having been much importun'd by Dr. Sheldon Archb. of Canterbury and the Earl of Clarendon Lord Chancellour to perfect that Collection began by the learned Sir Hen. Spelman, for his in∣tended second vol. of the Provincial Councils in England, Mr. Dug∣dale did in order thereunto make diligent search for all such mate∣rials that might be got, either out of the Cottonian Library, or other∣wise: Which being done he made Transcripts of them, and me∣thodized the same for the Press. So that the whole vol. amount∣ing to 200 sheets in folio, all of it except 57, were totally of Mr. Dugdale's Collection. It was printed in 1664, but very full of faults, occasion'd, if I am not mistaken, by the absence of the said Mr. Dugdale. Will. Somnore the Antiquary of Canterbury took a great deal of pains to correct a printed copy of it, with his pen in the margin: which copy is yet remaining in the Library belonging to the Ch. of Canterbury. At the same time also the second part of Sir Hen. Spelmans Glossary, which begins with the letter M, was brought to Mr. Dugdale to have it fitted for the Press: for so it was, that Sir Henry having lest it very imperfect, much of it being loosly written, and in sundry bits of paper, he took pains to dispose thereof into proper order by transcribing many of those loose papers, and afterwards by marking such parts of it, for differencing the character, as needed. The first part also that had been published by Sir Henry, an. 1626, was afterwards considerably augmented and corrected by its Author: Which also being brought to Mr. Dugdale, and by him review'd and made fit for the Press, were both printed together, an. 1664. But the second part which Sir H. Spel∣man le••t imperfect, as is before told you, comes far short of the first. After this, Mr. Dugdale having in many years labours in the search of Records for those works already published, perused the notes that he had taken of the Lord Chancellours, L. Treasurers, Masters of Rolls, Judges of all the Courts in Westminster Hall, Kings At∣torneys and Sollicitors; as also of the Serjeants at Law, Courts of ••us••ice and Inns of Court and Chancery for Students in that

excellent Profession, he compiled that historical work intit. Origines Juridiciales, adorned with exact cuts in copper plates of the Arms in the windows throughout all the Inns of Court and Serjeants Inns, which was first made public by the Press, an. 1666; but the grand Conflagration soon after hapning, many of the copies were burnt. Further also, he having in the course of his Collections formerly made at Oxon in the time of the Rebellion extracted from sundry choice MSS. divers special notes relating to antient Nobility of this Kingdom; and being not ignorant that those Volumes of Monasti∣con would yield many excellent materials of that kind, he then be∣came encouraged to go to the Tower of London, Exchequer, Office of the Rolls in Chancery lane (which were the chief treasures of Re∣cords) as also to the Archbishops principal Registers, and Registers of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, of Wills and Testaments, Dispensations for Marriages, &c. Whence and out of sundry MSS. in private hands, monumental inscriptions, and other Authorities, which, after the greater part of 30 years labour he had got toge∣ther, he at length compiled that large work intit. The Baronage of England. In making which Collections he omitted nothing of con∣sequence which related to the Foundations and Endowments of the Cathedral and Collegiat Churches in England and Wales, con∣sisting of secular Canons, as also of what else he could observe con∣cerning those Monasteries that were already published, to the end that use might be made of them as Additaments to those volumes: And in the year 1673 he published all those Additaments, together with what he had so gathered for those cathedral and collegiate Churches before specified. But the said Volumes of the Baronage hanging long at the Press, came not out till the year 1675 and 1676, being then and soon after taken into the hands, not only of his Majesty and royal issue, but also by the prime Nobility of the Nation. Towards the end of the said year 1676, Sir Edw. Wal∣ker Garter, Principal K. of Arms departing this mortal life at Whitehall, (Mr. Dugd. being then in Warwick••hire) much dispute grew between Henry then Earl of Norwich (afterwards Duke of Norfolk) as Earl Marshal of England, and the King, for the nomi∣nation of a person, unto whom his Majesty should by his Letters Patents make a grant of that Office; the Chancellour of the Gar∣ter on the Kings behalf, as Soveraign of that most noble Order, strenuously insisting upon his Majesties right to nominate by rea∣son that the said Office of Garter was an employment meerly be∣longing to that Order; and chiefly for attending at all Installati∣ons and Festivals, and performing other services unto the Soveraign and Knights Companions thereof. The Earl on his part, as Earl Marshal and chief Superintendent of the Office and Officers of Arms, pleading the usage of his Predecessors in that honorable Of∣fice of Earl Marshal to nominate and recommend to the King, upon the death and vacancy of any King of Arms, Herald or Pursevant, such person or persons to supply the place, as he shall think most fit and most properly qualified for that service. In which contest one Sir Will. Haward Knight (a person well accomplish'd with learn∣ing, especially in point of Honour and Arms) having obtained the favour of divers great men to move his Majesty on his behalf, the K. did thereupon much incline to, to have that office confer'd up∣on, him. The Earl of Norwych on the other part, accounting it no little derogation to his Office of Earl Marshal to be refused the like privilege as his Predecessors in that great place had been per∣mitted to enjoy (for which he produced some late Presidents, ac∣knowledging, tho he had nothing to do as to any superintendency over him as an Officer of the Garter, yet, as Garter was Principal K. of Arms, he was subordinate to his authority) did obtain the fa∣vour of the Duke of York, upon this great dispute, to speak to his Majesty on his behalf. The King therefore asked the said Count (Earl Marshal) whom he had a design to nominate and recommend, he answer'd Mr. Dugdale; tho 'tis well known he had another person (Th. Leigh Chest. Her.) in his eye, (against whom such objections might have been justly taken, as that he would have failed of his aim had he stuck to him) whereupon his Maj. immediately replied, Nay then I am content. So that the matter being thus ended, the Earl Marshal caused his Secretary to advise Mr. Dugdale thereof by the Post that night, and earnestly to press his speedy coming up to London, he then being at Blythe Hall in Warwickshire. This news did not a little surprize him, because he was so far from any thoughts of that Office, that upon some Letters from certain hono∣rable persons ensuing Sir E. Walkers death, earnestly desiring his speedy repair to London, in order to his obtaining that Office, he excused himself in respect of his age, he being then above 20 years older than any other Officer in the Coll. of Arms then living, as he then told me, being then with him at Blythe Hall when those Let∣ters came to him. After serious consideration what to resolve on therein, having a far greater desire to wave it, than otherwise, as he then said, he grew fearful that his Majesty so readily assenting to the Earl Marshal's nomination of him, should not take it well in case he did refuse what was so intended him as a favour. And doubting also the Earl Marshal's displeasure for not complying with him therein, did at length conclude with himself that it was by God Almighties disposal thus cast upon him, and therefore he resolved to accept of it. So that within few days after repairing to London, he was welcom'd by the Earl Marshal with many noble Expressi∣ons for his ready acceptance of his Lordships favour herein. On the 26 of Apr. 1677 was passed the Patent for his Office of Garter, and on Thursday 24 of May following (being then Holy Thursday,) he was solemnly created Garter in the College of Arms by Henry Earl of Peterborough, who then exercised the Office of Earl Mar∣shal, as Deputy to the Earl of Norwych, by vertue of his Majesties immediate Warrant for that purpose: And the day following (25 May) Mr▪ Dugd. being brought before the King in the old Bed-chamber

at Whitehall by the Earl Marshall, he then received the honor of Knighthood, (much against his will because of his small estate) at which time his Majesty put the badge of his office, hung in a gold chain, (usually worn by Garter K. of Armes) about, his neck. On the first of June following he took his oath of Garter Principal K. of Armes, in a solemn chapter held by the Soveraign and certain of the Knights Companions of that most noble Order, in the red room at Whitehall: which Oath was administred to him by Seth Bishop of Salisbury Chancellour of the Garter, one of the Officers of that order then kneeling on his Majesties left hand. As to the exercise of his office of Norroy, when he was Provincial K. of Armes for the northern parts of this Realm, the books of his visitation of the several Counties under his charge remaining in the Coll. of Armes, will sufficiently manifest his care therein, as by taking exact notice of all collaterals, viz. Uncles, Aunts, Brothers and Sisters in the descents there drawn. Also by pub∣lickly disclaiming all such as did take upon them the titles of Esquire or Gentlemen without just right, and truly registring the Armes of all such as could shew any justifiable right thereto. His care also was manifested in defacing such Tablets of Armes, as he found in any publick places which were fictitious, and by pulling down several Atchievments (commonly called Hatchments) ir∣regularly and against the law of Armes hung up in any Churches or Chappels within the precincts of his Province; the particu∣lars whereof are expressed in that large book, in the Office or Coll. of Armes, covered with russet leather, and called the Earl Mar∣shalls book. Further also to vindicate the just rights of his said office, he commenced a sute at the common law against one Ran∣dal Holme a Painter of the City of Chester, who had boldly in∣vaded the office of him the said Norroy, by preparing Atchiev∣ments for the funeral of Sir Ralph Ashton of Middleton in the County of Lancaster Kt, and giving directions for a formal pro∣ceeding at the solemnity thereof: whereupon he had a verdict against him the said Holme, at the general Assizes held at Stafford, in March an. 1667, and recovered good damages with costs of suit. The titles of such books, touched on before, which are published under Sir Will. Dugdales name are these (1) Monasticon Anglicanum: sive Pandectae caenobiorum Benedictinorum, Cluniacensium, Cistercien∣sium, Carthusianorum, à primordiis ad eorum us{que} dissolutionem ex Mss ad Monasteria olim pertinentibus, Archivis turrium Lond. Ebor. &c. Lond. 1655. and 82. fol. Adorned with the prospects of Abbeys, Churches, &c. (2) Monastici Anglicani volumen alte∣rum, de Canonicis Regularibus Augustinianis, scil. Hospitaliariis, Templariis, Gilbertinis, Praemonstratensibus & Maturinis sive Trini∣taniariis. Cum appendice ad vol. primum de Caenobiis aliquot Gal∣licanis, Hibernicis, Scoticis, necnon quibusdam Anglicanis antea omis∣sis, à primordiis, &c. Lond. 1661. fol. Adorned with the prospects of Abbeys, Churches, &c. These two large volumes tho they were published under the names of Roger Dodsworth of Yorkshire and Will. Dugdale of Warwickshire, yet the chiefest now of the Coll. of Armes have several times informed me that they were both collected and totally written by Dodsworth, as the original which they had seen do testifie: And Dr. Barlow hath several times told me that much about the time of death of Dodsworth they were of∣fer'd to him to be bought, that he might take some order to have them published. Howsoever it is, sure I am that Sir William did take great pains to have them published, did methodize and order them, correct them when at the press and made several indexes to them. This Roger Dodsworth was the Son of Matthew Dodsworth Esq. (Registrary, as I have heard, of the Church of York) by Elia∣nor his Wife, Daughter of Ralph Sandwith Esq, was born on the 24 July 1585 at Newton Grange in the Parish of S. Oswald in Ri∣dale in Yorkshire, being the house and possessions of his Mothers Father; but whether he was ever educated in any University, I could never learn. This Person who had a natural propensity to Histories and Antiquities, began early to make collections of them, especially such that related to Yorkshire, and afterwards was much encouraged in his labours by Sir Thomas, afterwards Lord, Fairfax, who for several years allowed him a pension. He was a Person of wonderful industry, but less judgment, was always collecting and transcribing, but never published any thing. He died in the month of August 1654, and was buried in the Church of Rufford in Lancashire. After his death the said Lord Fairfax took into his possession, not only all the old Mss which he had obtained from several hands, but also all his proper collections which he had written from Mss, Leigher books, evidences in the Tower at York, in the custody of many Gentlemen, not only in Yorkshire but other northern Counties, as also his collections of monumental and fenestral inscriptions, &c. which being done, he communicated them to Dr. Nat. Johnston a Physit. of Yorkshire, with hopes that he would extract from them, and make and compleat a book of Antiquities of the West Riding of Yorkshire, which he hath not yet done, being, as I have been informed, weary of the work. When the said Lord Fairfax died, he bequeathed the said old Mss, and collections (which last amounted to 122 volumes at least) to the publick Li∣brary in Oxon, but were not conveyed thither till June 1673; which being then a wet season, most of them took wet, and had it not been for the author of this book, who with much ado ob∣tained leave of the then Vicechancellour to have them conveyed into the muniment room in the School-Tower, purposely to dry them on the leads adjoyning, which cost him a months time to do it, they had been utterly spoiled. The other books that Sir William Dugdale hath published are there. (3) The Antiquities of War∣wickshire illustrated from records, leiger-books, manuscripts, charters, evidences, tombes and armes: Beautified with maps, prospects and portraictures. Lond. 1656. fol. The foundation of tnis book (which

is his Master piece) was laid on the collections of divers antiqui∣ties for the said County made and gathered by Sir Simon Archer Knight, whom I have mention'd in the first vol. of this work, p. 504: which Sir Simon dying at Warwick, about the beginning of 1666, was gathered to the graves of his Fathers in Tamworth Church. (4) The History of S. Pauls Cathedral in London from its foundation till these times: extracted out of original charters, re∣cords, le••ger-books and other Manuscripts: Beautified with sundry prospects of the Church, figures of tombes and monuments. Lond. 1658. in a thin folio. (5) The History of imbanking and draining of divers fens and marshes, both in foreign parts and in this King∣dom; and of the improvement thereby. Extracted from record••, Mss and other authentick testimonies. Lond. 1662. fol. Adorned with several Cuts. (6) Origines juridiciales: or historical memo∣rials of the English laws, Courts of Justice, forms of Trial, punish∣ment in cases criminal, law writers, law books, grants and settlements of estates, degree of Serjeant, inns of Court and Chancery. Also a chronologie of the Lord Chancellours, and Keepers of the great Seal, L. Treasurers, Justices itinerant, Justices of the Kings Bench, &c. Lond. 1666. 1672. &c. fol. In the said Chronologie or Chronica se∣ries, are many faults. (7) Monastici Anglicani, volumen tertium & ultimum: Additamenta quaedam in volumen primum, ac volumen secundum, jampridem edita: Necnon fundationes, sive dotationes di∣versarum ecclesiarum cathedralium ac collegiatarum continens; ex archivis regiis, ipsis outographis, ac diversis codic. Manuscriptis decerpta. Lond. 1673. fol. Which, so soon as published, the faction commonly reported, that it was made extant purposely to introduce popery, they being then exasperated against it. To this book is only the bare name of Will. Dugdale set, without any mention of Dodsworth, tho no doubt there is but some of his col∣lections are therein. Some time before it was published, Mr. Dug∣dale desired the author of these Athenae Oxon, that if in his searches towards the work of Hist. & Antiq. Ʋniv. Oxon, he could meet with any materials towards the completion of the said third vol. of Mon. Anglic. he would by all means help him to them. Where∣upon for the great respect he had to the author, and such a noble work as that was, he soon after sent to him copies of many evi∣dences, as first those four inserted in p. 11. concerning Wallingford. Secondly eleven others in p. 13▪ 14.15, concerning Littlemore Nunnery within the precincts o•• Sandford in Oxfordshire, which by a mistake Sir William hath added to Sandford in Berkshire. Thirdly three copies of Charters in p. 18. concerning the Hermi∣tage of Muswell in the Parish of Piddington. Fourthly four copies in p. 30.31. concerning Horkesley a cell to the Abbey of Tefford. Fifthly the six copies mentioned in p. 55.56.57, concerning the Priory of Cold-Norton in Oxfordshire. Sixthly the twelve copies in p. 62.63.64 concerning the Lands belonging to the Knight Tem∣plers of Sandford near to, and in the County of, Oxon, which I transcrib'd from a leiger book containing all the evidences belong∣ing to the preceptory of Sandford; near which place was the Nun∣nery of Littlemore before mentioned situated. The said leiger-book which was then my proper book, is now in Bodlies Library. Seventhly that copy in pag. 77. b. concerning Otteham Priory. Eighthly those copies of Charters in p. 83.84.85. concerning the Hospital of Brackley in Northamptonshire. Ninthly that Charter in p. 96. a. concerning the Hospital of Ginges in Essex, otherwise called Gynge-M••nteygney. Tenthly that large Charter concerning the Priory of Newinton-Longaville in Bucks, and others. He the said Sir Will. Dugdale was also assisted in the said third vol. of Mon. Angl, by Sir Thomas Herbert Baronet, but the number of Charters which he transcribed and sent to him, I cannot justly tell you. He was a great collector of antient Mss, a singular lover of Antiquities, and there is not doubt, but that he having had more leisure than I, did his share therein. Sir Will. Dugdale hath also published (8) The Baronage of England: or an historical ac∣count of the lives and most memorable actions of our English Nobi∣lity in the Saxons time, to the Norman Conquest; and from thence, of those who had their rise before the end of K. Henry the thirds Reign. Deduced from publick records, antient Historians and other authori∣ties. Lond. 1675. fol. Tom. 1. (9) The Baronage of England: or an historical account, &c. from after the end of K. Henry the thirds Reign, and before the eleventh of K. Rich. 2. deduced, &c. Lond. 1676 in a thin fol. Tom. 2. (10) The Bar. of Engl. or an historical account, &c. from the 10. of Ric. 2. until this present year, 1676, deduced, &c. Ibid. 1676. in a thin fol. Tom. 3. These the two last were printed, and do always go, together. Augustin Vincen•• sometimes Windsore Herald and ClerK of the Records in the Tower of London had laid a Foundation of a Baronage of England, but he dying before it was finished, it was taken in hand and continued by his Son John Vincent, who intituled it—He••••••logia Anglica. Or a Geneological history of the succession and creation of all our Princes, Dukes, Earls and Vicounts since the Norman conquest to this day. This I have seen in a thick fol. manuscript, [for 'tis not yet published) containing many quotations from the records in the Tower of London, but 'tis a very slight and trite thing in compa∣rison of that of Sir W. Dugdales. The said three Tomes of the Ba∣ronage of England he gave, with other of his books, to the Coll. of Armes, but two of the Kings, and other Heralds there tell me that there are a world of faults in them; and they dare not de∣pend upon the generality of matter relating to pedegree therein. The author also sent to the Writer of these Athenae and Fasti Oxon, copies of all the Tomes, with an earnest desire that he would per∣use, correct and add to them what he could obtain from record or other authorities. Whereupon spending a whole long vocation in that matter, he drew up at least 16 sheets of corrections, but more additions; which being sent to the author, he remitted a

good part of them into the margin of a copy of large paper of his three Tomes of Ba••onagium. (11) A short view of the late trou∣bles in England; briefly setting forth their rise, growth and tragical canclusion. As also some parallel thereof with the Barons wars in the time of K. H. 3, but chiefly with that of France, called the holy league, in the Reign of Hen. 3. and Hen. 4, late Kings of that Realm. Oxon. 1681. fol. To this book is added A perfect narrative of the Treaty at Ʋxbridge; which, having been before extant, was thought by the generality of Scholars to be superfluous, yet it made the book a folio, which otherwise might have been made an ordinary quarto. This book (A short view, &c.) was presented by the Vice-chancellour of Cambridge, in the name of the members of that University to Queen Catherine, 27. Sept. 1681 at which time their Majesties were entertained there, (12) The antient usage in bear∣ing of such ensigns of honour as are commonly called Armes. Oxon. 1682. oct. There are two editions of this book, one of which was published in Oxon, 4. Feb. 1681 and the other in the begin∣ning of the year 1682. 'Tis mostly taken from Will. Wyrley's book entit. The true use of Armory, &c. see in the first vol. of these Athe∣nae p. 363. (13) A true and perfect catalogue of the Nobility of England. Printed with The antient usage, &c. To which is added, A true and exact list of all the present Knights of the Garter, &c. as they now stand in S. Georges Chap. in Windsore Castle, 10. Sept. 1681. (14) A Cat. of the Baronets of England; from the first ere∣ction of that Dignity until the 4 of Jul. 1681. inclusive. Printed also with The antient usage, &c. The second edit. reacheth to the 6. of Dec. the same year. To both these editions are added, first An exact alphabetical Catalogue of all the Shires, Cities, Burrough-Towns, Cinque ports in England; specifying the number of the Knights of the Shires, Citizens, Burgesses and Barons of the Cinque-ports, they do respectively elect, to serve as their Representatives in Parlia∣ments, &c. collected and written by Charles Hatton Esq, Son of Christopher L. Hatton. Secondly A true and perfect Cat. of the No∣bility of Scotland, with a list of the Royal Burroughs therein, &c. collected and written by the same hand; and thirdly A true and p••rf. Cat. of the Nobility of Ireland, with a list of all the Shires, Ci∣ties and Burroughs of Ireland, which make returns of Parliament, &c. collected and written also by the same hand, (15) A per∣fect copy of all the summons of the Nobility to the great Councils and Parliaments of this Realm from the 49 of Hen. 3▪ to this present; with Catalogues of such Noblemen, as have been summoned to Parlia∣ment in right of their Wives, &c. Lond. 1686. fol. Further also our author Sir W. Dugdale took a great deal of pains in publishing the second vol. of Councils, and Glossary of Sir Hen. Spelman, as I have before told you. At length this most industrious Person con∣tracting a great cold at Blythe Hall by attending too much his worldly concerns, died thereof in his Chair, about one of the Clock in the afternoon of the tenth day of February (S. Scholasti∣ca's day) an. 1685. Whereupon his body being conveyed to the pa∣rochial Church of Shustock in Warwickshire before mention'd, was on the 12 of the same month deposited in a stone-coffin, laying in a little vault, which he before had caused to be made under the north side of the Chancel of the Church there. It was laid near another stone-coffin in the said vault, containing the remains of his then late Wife named Margery, Daughter of John Huntbache of Seawell in Staffordshire Gent, who died 18 Decemb. 1681, af∣ter she had continued his Wife from the 17 of March 1622. Sir Will. Dugdale did also in his life time, erect over the said vault a strong tomb of Free-stone, in form of an altar, joyning to the North wall, with his Armes and those of his Wife carved on the South side thereof: And above it he caused to be fixed on the wall a tablet of white marble, bordered with the like Free-stone, on which was engraven his epitaph made by himself. By his last Will and Testament he bequeathed all his Manuscripts and Col∣lections of Antiquities to the Musaeum of Elias Ashmole in Oxon, who divers years before had married one of his Daughters; where they remain, and are of great use to curious and critical persons. To conclude, had this indefatigable person sequestred himself from worldly troubles, and totally addicted himself to his studies, and had minded the publick, more than his private, concerns, the world might have justly enjoyed more of his lucubrations, and those more true and accurate, than such that are already published, especially those in his latter days: Yet however what he hath done, is prodigious, considering the great troubles that he had en∣dured for his loyalty, and the cumbrances of this world that he had run through; and therefore his memory ought to be venerated and had in everlasting remembrance for those things which he hath already published, which otherwise might have perished and been eternally buried in oblivion. Lets now go on with the Creations.

Nov. 1. Sir Rich. Byron Knight a most valiant Colonel in the Kings Army, and Brother to John Lord Byron.

Joh. Newton of S. Edm. Hall—He was afterwards a noted Ma∣thematician.

• Thom. Smith of Queens Coll.
• Thom. Lamplugh of Queens Coll.
• Thom. Tully of Queens Coll.

The two first of these three were afterwards Bishops.

Edw. Walker Herald of Armes by the title of Chester—This Person who was second Son of Edw. Walker of Roobers in the Pa∣rish of Nether Stowey in Somersetsh, by Barbara his Wife, Daugh∣ter of Edw. Salkeld of Corby Castle in Cumberland, was born at Roobers, bred a servant in the family of Thomas Earl of Arundell Earl Marshall of England, to whom afterwards being Secretary, he gave him the Pursevants place called Rogue-Croix in the Coll. of Armes. In 1639 when that noble Count was made General of the English Forces in the Scotch expedition, this Mr. Walker was

by him made Secretary of War, and executed that Office till the return of the said Army to London. Afterwards when his Majesty and the Royal Family were by the endeavours of that unhappy Parl. that began 3. Nov. 1640, forced from London in Jan. 1641, Mr. Walker followed him into the North parts of England, and was with him at Edgh••ll fight and afterwards at Oxon, where he was actually created Master of Arts, being then Chester Herald as I have before told you. In the latter end of 1643 he was made Norr••y King of Armes in the place of Sir Henry St. George promoted to the office of Garter, and in the year following, upon the death of the said Sir Henry, he was made Garter, and on the 2. of Feb. the same year (1644) he received the honor of Knighthood. This Person who with great diligence and observation had committed to writing in a paper book the several occurrences that passed in the K. Army and the victories obtained by his Majesty over his rebellious Sub∣jects, the book was seized on at the fatal battle at Naseby by some of the forces belonging to the Parliament, then Victors. After∣wards it was presented to their General called Sir Thomas Fairfax, who perusing it, found one passage therein which was very obser∣vable to him, viz. that whereas he (Walker) had taken occasion (*) 1.5 to speak of the Irish and call'd them Rebells; his Majesty, who before that time had perused the book, did, among several altera∣tions made therein with his own hand, put out the word Rebells with his pen, and over it wrot Irish. This book was after his Majesties restauration regain'd, and is now, or at least was lately, in the hands of Sir Joh. Clopton who married the Daughter and Heir of Sir E. Walker, who also hath written The order of the Ce∣remonies at S. Georges feast at Windsore, which is printed in quarto. After his Majesties return, he was confirmed in his Gartership and made one of the Clerks of the Privy Council; and dying sudden∣ly in Whitehall, 19. Febr. 1676, his body was conveyed to Stratford upon Avon in Warwickshire, and buried in the Church there, among the graves of the Cloptons of Clopton in that Parish. In his office of Garter K. of Armes succeeded Will. Dugdale, Norroy, as I have before told you, and in his Clerkship of the Privy Council Sir Tho▪ Dolman of Shaw near Newbury in Berks.

Nov. 1. Matthew Smalwood of Brasn. Coll.—He was afterwards Dean of Lichfield.

Ferdinando Marsham Esq.—He was Brother to Sir Joh. Mar∣shaw the Critick.

Jervais Hollis a Parliament man for Great Grimesby in Lincoln∣shire—He had lately retired to his Majesty, because of the vio∣lent proceedings against him his said Maj. in the Parliament sitting at Westminster, being then Serjeant Major, and in the next year he sate as a member in the Parl. held at Oxon.

George Wentworth another Parliament Man for Pomfraict in York∣shire—He also left that Parliament, retired to his Majesty, and sate in Oxford Parliam. 1643.

On the said first of Nov. were more than 70 persons actually created Master of Arts, among whom, towards the latter end of the solemnity, when it grew dark, some did obtrude themselves that were not in the Catalogue of those to be created, which was signed by his Majesty. One of them was named Henry Leigh∣ton a Scot, mostly educated in France, but at this time (1642) actually in Armes for his Majesty, and soon after was an Officer. Some years after the declining of the Kings cause, he setled for altogether in Oxon, read and taught the French language to young Scholars, and for their use wrot and published (1) Linguae Gallicae addiscendae regulae. Oxon 1659. in tw. Published afterwards again with many additions to the great advantage of the learner. (2) Dia∣logues in French and English, &c. This Person who might have been more beneficial to mankind than he was, had his principles been sound, (which were not, and therefore in some respects he debauched young men) died by a fall down stairs in S. Johns Coll. (where he had a Chamber allowed him by the society) on the 28. of January 1668: whereupon his body was buried the next day in the Church of S. Giles in the north suburb of Oxon.

Dec. 20. Tho. Penruddock of S. Maries Hall—He was a younger Son of Sir Joh. Penruddock, whom I shall mention among the crea∣ted Doctors of the Civ. Law.

Edward Sherburne Commissary General of his Majesties Attillery in Oxon was actually created Master of Arts on the same day—This Person who hath been greatly venerated for his polite learn∣ing, was born in his Fathers house in Goldsmiths Rents near Red∣cross-street in the Parish of S. Giles Cripplegate in London, on the 18. of Sept. 1618, Son of Edw. Sherburne Esq, a Native of the City of Oxon, and Clerk of his Majesties Ordnance within the Kingdom of England, Son of Hen. Sherburne Gent, a Retainer to C. C. Coll. in this University, but descended from the antient and gentile family of his name now remaining at Stanyhurst in Lan∣cashire. After our author Edw. Sherburne, whom I am farther to mention, had been mostly trained up in Grammar learning under Mr. Thomas Farnabie who then taught in Goldsmiths-rents before mentioned, he was privately instructed for a time in his Fathers house by one Charles Aleyn then lately Usher to the said Mr. Far∣nabie, but originally a member of Sidney Coll. in Cambridge; I mean the same Ch. Aleyn who wrot a Poem entit. The battle of Crescy and Poictiers, and afterwards The History of Hen. the seventh. Lond. 1638 oct, written in verse also, with The battle of Bosworth; who dying about 1640, was buried under the north wall of S. An∣drews Church in Holbourn near London. In 1640 his Father think∣ing it fit for his better education to send him abroad to travel, he set forward at Christmas that year and continued beyond Sea till

about three quarters of a year, having spent his time in viewing a considerable part of France, and was intended for a journey into Italy, but then unfortunately called back by occasion of his Fathers sickness, who, not many weeks after his return dyed some few days before Christmas 1641. Immediatly after his death, he suc∣ceeded his Father in the Clerkship of his Majesties Ordnance, granted him by patent 5. Feb. 13. Car. 1. and about the months of Apr. and May he was outed by warrant of the then House of Lords, and committed to the Black rod for only adhering to the duty of his place and allegiance to his Prince, where he lay for several months at great expences, and charge of fees, till having in the beginning of Oct. following gain'd his Liberty, he went im∣mediatly to the King, who made him Commissary General of his Artillery. In which condition he served him at the battle of Edghill, and during the four years Civil War; while in the mean time he was depriv'd of an estate of 160 l. per an, (till a debt of 1500 l. was satisfied by way of extent out of the Land of Ord of Ord in Northumberland) his house plundered, and all his personal estate and houshold goods taken away, among which was the loss of a study of books, as considerable in a manner that he bought and obtained after his Majesties restauration, which was great and choice, and accounted one of the most considerable belonging to any Gent. in, or near, London. After Edghill battle he retired with his Majesty to Oxon, where he was created M. of A. as I have before told you, and was not wanting while he continued there to improve himself in learning as other Gentlemen did. After the rendition of Oxford to the Parliament forces, he lived for some time in the Middle Temple at London in the Chamber of a near Re∣lation of his called Tho. Stanley Esquire, at which time he publish∣ed some pieces which I shall anon mention. While he continued there, you cannot but imagine that he was liable, (as indeed he was) to frequent midnight scarches and proclamation banishments out of the Lines of communication, as being a Cavalier, which the godly party then called Malignant; till at the return of Sir George Savile (afterwards Marquess of Halyfax) from his travels about 1651. or 52 he was invited to take upon him the charge of his concerns, and sometime after by his honorable Mother the Lady Savile her good favour, he was recommended to undertake the tuition of her Ne∣phew Sir John Coventry in his travels abroad. In the beginning of March therefore in 1654 he left England with his charge, ran through all France, Italy▪ some part of Hungary, the greater part of Germany, Holland and the rest of the Low Countries, and returned about the end of Oct. 1659. By which voyage he did advance and promote his bookish inclination, by conference with learned persons, when he came to such places that could afford him their desired converse, more than what he could obtain at home. After his Ma∣jesties restauration he found a person put into his place of Clerk of his Maj. Ordnance within the Kingdom of England (after his old sequestrators were dead) by a Relation of the Gent. whose care and tuition he had undertaken, I mean by that busie man Sir Anth. Ashley Cooper, (afterwards Earl of Shaftesbury) so that he was forced to plead the ••ight of his Patent before the House of Lords e're he could get readmittance. After some time of the Kings settlement he met with a discouragement worse than the former; for by the politick Reducers of the charge of his Majesties revenue and treasure, he was retrenched from the best perquisites of his office to the value of no less than 500 l. per an. and never received any consideration more than what the King was pleased of his own bounty to confer upon him which was 100 l. per an. in compensation of quadruple the loss he sustained. This Person who hath been always an inti∣mate friend and acquaintance as well of the antient Greek and La∣tine as of the choicest modern Poets, both Italian, French and Spanish hath written and translated. (1) Medea, a Tragedy. Lond. 1648. oct, translated from Lat. into English, verse, with annota∣tions: 'Tis one of Seneca's Tragedies. (2) Seneca's answer to Luci∣lius his Quaere, why good men suffer misfortunes, seeing there is a di∣vine providence? Lond. 1648. oct, written originally in Lat. prose, and translated into English verse. It was dedicated by Mr. Sher∣burne to K. Ch. 1. during his captivity in the Isle of Wight, which he was pleased most graciously to approve and accept of (3) Sal∣macis, Lyrian and Sylva, forsaken Lydia, the rape of Hellen, a com∣ment thereon, with several other Poems. Lond. 1651. oct. On which three translations, as also annotations on each of them, the most in∣genious Thomas Stanley before remembred (mention'd also in the Fasti, 1640) did make an excellent copy of verses, as also upon the mutual friendship between him and our author Ed. Sherburne; the beginning of which is this.

Dear friend! I question, nor can I yet decide Whether thou more art my delight or pride?

(4) The Sphere of Marcus Manilius made an english Poem. Lond. 1675. fol. 'Tis adorned with Cuts, and an account thereof is in the Philosophical Transactions, num. 110. p. 233. It was chiefly in∣tended by its author for the use of the young Gentry and Nobility of the Land, to serve as their initiation in the first rudiment of spherical learning. (5) A Catalogue (with a character) of the most eminent Astronomers, antient and moderne: Which, with other mat∣ters, as first Of the Cosmical System, secondly A Cosmographical-Astro∣nomical Synopsi••, &c. are added by way of an Astronomical Appen∣dix to The Sphere of Marc. Man. before mention'd. (6) Troades: or the Royal Captives, a Trag. Lond. 1679. oct. Written originally in Lat. by L. An. Seneca, englished with Annotations, by Mr. Sher∣burne. He had likewise laying by him another Trag. of Seneca (Hippolitus and Phaedra) long since by him translated, with Anno∣tations. Which three Tragedies, viz. Medea, Troades and Hippo∣litus,

he endeavours to prove that they belong only to the Philo∣sopher, among all the rest that go under the name of Seneca. The sixteenth Idillium of Theocritus in N. Tates Miscellanies is ascribed to him, and perhaps other things in other books. In 1682. Jan. 6. his Majesty K. Ch. 2 did, in consideration of his great sufferings, and the long and faithful services by him performed to his royal Fa∣ther of blessed memory and to himself, confer upon him the honor of Knighthood in his private Bedchamber at Whitehall; having also suffered several indignities from the faction in the time of the Popish Plot, who endeavoured to out him of his place, for being, as they supposed a Rom. Cath. After K. Jam. 2▪ had abdicated the Govern∣ment and left the Nation, he was outed for altogether and put to trouble: So that whereas he before for 19 years together had suf∣fered for his Loyalty to his Prince, and had in some manner suffer∣ed after his restauration, as I have told you before, so now doth suffer upon account of his Religion, being living near London in a retired, yet cheerful, and devout condition, spending his time alto∣gether in books and prayer.

Henry Sherburne younger Brother to Edw. before mention'd, was then also Dec. 20. actually created Master of Arts—He was soon after made Comptroller of the Ordnance in the Army of Ralph Lord Hopton, but how long he continued in that employment, I know not. While he continued in Oxon he drew an exact ichnography of the City of Oxon, while it was a Garrison for his Majesty, with all the fortifications, trenches, bastions, &c. performed for the use of Sir Tho. Glemham the Governour thereof, who shewing it to the King, he approved much of it and wrot in it the names of the ba∣stions with his own hand. This ichnography, or another drawn by Rich. Rallingson, was by the care of Dr. John Fell engraven on a copper plate and printed, purposely to be remitted into Hist. & Antiq. Ʋniv. Oxon, lib. 1. between p. 364. and 365. This Henry Sherburne, who was an ingenious man, was kill'd in a mutiny that hapned among some of the Soldiers in Oxon, on the 12 of June 1646: Whereupon his body was buried the next day in the Chur. of S. Peter in the East in the said City.

January 16. In a Convocation then celebrated were these follow∣ing persons actually created Masters of Arts, by vertue of the Kings Mandamus then read, viz.

Henry Lord Seymour, Son of Will. Marq. of Hertford—He was Knighted by his Maj. on the 17 of Jan. 1644. See among the Do∣ctors of Phys. an. 1645.

Sir John Stawell—See among the Doctors of Physick this year.

• Amia•• Paulet Esq.
• Joh. Stawell Esq.

Mr. Edw. Stawell.

Rob. Hawley a Captain—Francis Lord Hawley one of the Gent. of the Bedchamber to James Duke of York died 22 of Dec. 1684. aged 76 or thereabouts; but whether Robert was nearly related to him I know not.

Joh. Stanhop—He was Master of the Horse, as it seems, to the Marquess of Hertford.

George Strangwaies an Officer—He was one of the antient and gentile family of his name in Dorsetshire.

Geor. Trimme, Secretary to the Marq. of Hertf.

Anth. Lightfoot Servant to Prince Charles.

R••g. Sanders a Captain.

Rich. Knightley, &c.

All which, with others, were lately come to Oxon, among the forces under the conduct of the said William Marquess of Here∣ford.

In the same convocation were others also created, by vertue of the Letters of the said Marq. (soon after Chanc. of this Univ.) which were then read: The names of some of them follow.

Edw. Windham Esq▪

Edw. Kirton Esq.—He was a Parliamentary Burgess for Mil∣borne in Somersetsh, to serve in the Parl. began at Westm. 3. Nov. 1640, but leaving it, because of the violent proceedings of the members thereof, he retired to his Majesty at Oxon, and late in the Parl. there, 1643.

Tho. Lower Esq.—He was also a Burgess for Eastlow in Cornwall, but leaving the said Parliament he retired to Oxon, and sate there. I take this person to be the same who was Son and Heir of Sir W. Lower of S. Winnow in Cornw. Knight, which Thomas dying a Ba∣chelaur 5. Feb. 1660 was buried in the Parish Church of S. Clement Danes within the Liberty of Westminster, as I have elsewhere told you.

... Bampfield a Colonel.

Joh. Miller a Captain.

Hugh Windham.

Hugh Smith.

Franc. Chalk or Chock of Avington in Berks—He was Knighted 26. Oct. 1643.

All which, with others, did attend the said Marq. of Hertford when he came to Oxon.

Feb. 1. Anth. Goslyng was then created by vertue of a dispensa∣tion pass'd in convocation.

Feb. 21. was another convocation celebrated, and therein a Creation of Masters made to the number of about eleven: Among whom were,

Paul Boston of Cambridge—After his Majesties return he became Minister of S. Brides Parish in London; whence being forced by the dreadful fire that hapned in 1666 he became Reader of S. Giles in the Fields in Middlesex.

Rich. Powell a Retainer to the Lord Mowbray.

Will. Jay a Retainer to the Marq. of Hertford.

Charles Whittaker Secretary under Sir Edw. Nicholas one of the Secretaries of State. &c.

Aston Cockaine was also about the same time created, but neg∣lected to be registred.

Bach. of Phys.

From the first of Nov. to the 31. of Jan. were actually created 17 Bach. of Phys. or more; of which number were,

• Nov. 1. Hen. Jacob of Mert. Coll.
• Nov. 1. Edw. Buckoke of Trin. Coll.
• Nov. 1. Will. Croot of Exet. Coll.
• Nov. 1. Hen. Sawyer of Magd. Coll.
• Nov. 1. Steph. Boughton of Magd. Coll.

The aforesaid Edw. Buck. was created Dr. of the same faculty in 1645.

• Dec. 10. Jam. Hyde of Corp. Ch. Coll.
• Dec. 10. George Rogers of Linc. Coll.

The first of these last two was afterwards the Kings professor of Phys. and the other a publisher of certain things of his faculty, and is now, or at least lately was, living.

• Jan. 31. Nich. Oudart.
• Jan. 31. Tho. Champion or Campion.
• Jan. 31. Tho. Johnson.

Of the first I have spoken already in the Fasti; under the year 1636. p. 887. Of the second I know nothing only that one of both his names was a noted Poet in the Reign of K. Jam. 1. see in the Fasti under the year 1624, p. 848. And of the other you may see more among the created Doctors of Phys. 1643.

Bach. of Div.

From the first of Novemb. to the 21. of Feb. were about 70 Bachelaurs of Div. actually created; of which number were these following.

Nov. 1. Caesar Williamson lately M. A. of Trin. Coll. in Cam∣bridge—After the declining of the Kings cause he went into Ireland, became Fellow of the College at Dublin, where being esteemed a good Orator, was put upon several Harangues ex tem∣pore, and wrot a Panegyrick on Henry Cromwell Lord Lieutenant of the said Kingdom, which I have seen several times quoted. Af∣terwards the College gave him a Living at, or near, Tredagh, where he ended his days in a craz'd condition about 4 or 5 years after his Majesties restauration.

Edw. Sylvester of Ball. Coll. was created the same day—This person who was a professed Tutor in the Latin and Greek tongues for many years in a private house in Allsaints Parish in Oxon, was born at Mansfield in Nottinghamshire, and had his sole education in the said Coll. He was the common drudge of the University either to make, correct or review the Latine Sermons of certain dull The∣ologists thereof before they were to be delivered at S. Maries; as also the Greek or Latin verses of others (as dull as the former) that were to be put in, or before, books that occasionally were published. He lived to see several of his Scholars to be heads of Houses in this University: Among whom were John Owen Dean of Ch. Ch, John Wilkins Warden of Wadham Coll, Hen. Wilkinson Princ. of Magd. Hall, &c; who, with other Scholars of his that were Doctors, Ba∣chelaurs of Div. Law and Phys, and Masters of Arts, had an an∣nual feast together; to which their Master was always invited, and being set at the upper end of the table. he would feed their minds with learned discourses, and criticisms in Grammar. He died on the first of Dec. 1653 aged 67 or more, and was buried in the Chan∣cel of Allsaints Church in Oxon. Near to his grave was after∣wards buried his Brother Henry Sylvester, sometimes Mayor of the City.

Rob. Wild of Cambridge was also created the same day, Nov. 1.—He was afterwards a Covenantier, Rector of Aynoe in Northampton∣shire, in the place, as I conceive, of an honest Cavalier sequestred ••rom it, ejected thence for Nonconformity after the Kings restaura∣tion, being then D. of D. and much celebrated for his Poetry, which he wrot in behalf of the Presbyterians, as John Cleavland did against them. Some of his works are (1) The tragedy of Christ. Love at Tower-hill. Lond. 1660. 'Tis a Poem in one sh. in qu. (2) Iter boreale. Attempting something upon the successful and matchless March of the L. Gen. George Monck from Scotland to London. &c. Lond. 1660. A Poem in 2 sh. and an half in qu. Another Iter bo∣reale you may see in Rich. Eedes in the first vol. p. 280, a third in Rich. Corbets Poems, and a fourth in Thomas Master in this vol. p. 19. There is extant an ingenious Lat. Poem entit. Iter australe, a Regi∣mensibus Oxon, an. 1658 expeditum, printed the same year in 3. sh. and an half in qu. Which Poem was written by Thom. Bispham a Gent. Com. of Qu. Coll. (Son of Dr. Sam. Bispham a Physitian of London) and by him dedicated to the Provost thereof Tho. Barlow, who had the author in his company when he and some of the so∣ciety of that House went the College progress into Hampshire and other places, Dr. Wild hath also written (3) A Poem upon the im∣prisonment of Mr. Edm. Calamy in Newgate, printed on one side of a broad sheet of paper, an. 1662, whereupon came out two Poems at least in answer to it, viz. First,—Anti-boreale. An answer to a lewd piece of Poetry upon Mr. Calamy's late confinement. Secondly, Hu∣dibras on Calamy's imprisonment and Wilds Poetry: both printed the same year, and each on one side of a sheet of paper. In 1668 and 1670 was published in oct,—Iter boreale, with large additions of several other Poems, being an exact collection of all hitherto pub∣lished; written by the said Dr. Wild, author also of (4) A Letter 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Mr. J. J. upon his Majesties Declaration for liberty of conscience. Lond. 1672. qu; Against which came out soon after, Moon-shine:

being an answer to Dr. Wilds letter and his poetica licentia, pr. in qu. the same year (5) Certain Sermons, as (1) The arraignment of a sinner, on Rom. 11.32. Lond. 1656, qu. (2) Sermon on Rom. 1.32. Ib. 1656. qu. &c There are extant some of his Poems, with some of John Wilmots Earl of Rochester and others in a collection, intit. Rome Rhym'd to death, but whether genuine I cannot tell. This Dr. Wild who was a fat, jolly and boon Presbyterian died at Oundle in Northamptonshire, about the beginning of Winter, an. 1679, and soon after had a Poem written on his death, intit. A pillar on the grave of Dr. Wild, besides another called A dialogue be∣tween Death and Dr. Wild; both printed in folio sheets, an. 1679. In the month of May 1672 there had like to have been a Poetical war between this Dr. Wild and Tho. Flatman, but how it was ter∣minated I cannot tell.

• Nov. 1. Christop. Ayray of Qu. Coll.
• Nov. 1. Nich. Greaves of Alls. Coll.
• Nov. 1. Jonathan Edwards of Jes. Coll.

The last, who was fellow of his House, was esteemed by those thereof a learned man, as were his contemporaries Jam. Birch, Philip Flower and Dan. Evans, all three Bachelaurs of Div. and fel∣lows of the said Coll.

• No. 1. Jaspar Mayne of Ch. Ch.
• No. 1. Rob. Joyner of Pemb. Coll.

The last succeeded Will. Cartwright in the Succentorship of Salisbury.

• Jan. 16. Aylmer Lynch of Cambridge.
• Jan. 16. Edw. Fulham of Ch. Ch.
• Jan. 16. Henry Myriell of Cambr.
• Jan. 16. Joh. Gurgany of Mert. Coll.

The first of these four, was, after his Majesties restauration, made Prebend of Stratford in the Church of Salisbury, and of Wel∣ton-Westhall in the Church of Linc. The third (Hen. Myriell) died 22. Apr. 1643 aged 33 years, and was buried in Allsaints Church in Oxon. As for Fulham and Gurgany, there will be mention made of them in these Fasti, an. 1660.

Tho 'tis said that Nath. Conopius a Greecian, and about this time one of the petty Canons of Ch. Ch. was actually created Bach. of Div, yet no thing appears in the University register of that matter.

Doct. of Law.

From the first of Nov. to the 21. of Febr. were actually created 60 or more Doctors of the Civil Law, the names of most of which do follow.

Nov. 1. Rob. Lord Pierpont, Vicount Newark and Earl of Kingston upon Hull, sometimes a Gent. Com. of Oriel Coll. was actually cre∣ated Doct. of the said faculty—He was now Lieutenant General of all his Majesties forces within the Counties of Lincolne, Rutland, Huntingdon, Cambridge and Norfolk, and lost his life in his service near to Gaynsborough in Lincolnshire, 30 of July 1643. The most Loyal Sir Franc. Wortley hath an Elegy on him in his Characters and Elegies, which being just and deservedly spoken of him, I shall refer the Reader to it; but the book, I doubt, is scarce to be seen or had. This most noble Count Pierpont was Father to Henry Marq. of Dorchester, born at Mansfield in Nottinghamshire, an. 1606, educated for some time in Eman. Coll. in Cambr, and after∣wards was a hard Student for 10 or 12 hours every day. Upon the breaking out of the Civil War in 1642 he adhered to his Ma∣jesty, was with him at Oxon after the battel at Edghill, and had a degree confer'd on him, or at least was incorporated, tho neglected to be registred by the common scribe of the University. He was then esteemed a learned man, as being well read in the Fathers, Schoolmen, Casuists, the Civil and Can. Law and reasonably well vers'd in the common Law, having about that time been admitted a Bencher of Greys Inn. In 1649 he applyed his study to Medicine and Anatomy, and in 1658 he was admitted Fellow of the Coll. of Phys. at Lond, and became their pride and glory. He hath pub∣lished (1) Two speeches spoken in the House of Lords. One Concern∣ing the rights of Bishops to sit in Parliament, 21 of May, and the other Concerning the lawfulness and conveniency of their intermedling in temporal affairs, on the 24 of the same month—Lond. 1641. in one sh. and an half in qu. (2) Speech to the Trained-bands of Not∣tinghamshire at Newark, 13 July 1642—Lond. 1642. qu. (3) Letter to John Lord Roos, written the 13, and printed on one side of a sheet of paper on the 25 of Feb. 1659. It was written upon occasion of some differences between the said Lord Roos and his Wife Anne, Daughter of the said Marquess: From which Lord the said Anne was afterwards for her whorishness lawfully divorced by sentence of the Court-Christian, and then commonly known by the name of the Lady Anne Vaughan. As soon as the said Letter was received by the Lord Roos, he wrot another in answer to it, in a buffooning stile, 25 Feb. 1659, assisted therein by Sam. Butler, afterwards known by the name of Hudibras: which being printed also on one side of a sh. of paper, the Marq. made a reply with another paper entit. (4) The reasons why the Marq. of Dorchester printed his letter, 25. Feb. 1659, together with his answer to a printed paper, called, A true and perfect copy of the Lord Roos his an∣swer to the Marquess of Dorchesters Letter, written 25. Februar. 1659.—Printed 20. of March 1659 on one side of a sh. of paper. He the said Marquess, hath, as 'tis probable, other things extant, or at least fit to be printed, which I have not yet seen. He died in his house in Charterhouse yard near London, 8. Decemb. 1680; whereupon his body, after it had laid in state for some time, was conveyed to his antient Seat called Holme-Pierpont in Nottingham∣shire, where it was buried in the Church of that place among the sepulchers of his name and family. Soon after was published an Elegy on this noble and generous Marquess, by John Crouch some∣times

his domestick servant; which being too large for this place, shall be now omitted.

Rob. Dormer Earl of Caernarvan, was actually created at the same time, Nov. 1,—This most loyal Count, who was Mercurio magnus, sed Marti major, was kill'd the next year at Newbury fight, and soon after had an Elegy made on him by Sir Francis Wortley before mention'd, which is printed among his Characters and Ele∣gies. His body was for the present deposited▪ in Jesus Coll. Chap∣pel, but soon after removed to his seat in Bucks.

James Lord Compton,—He was afterwards Earl of Northamp∣ton, Lieutenant of the County of Warwick, as also of the City of Coventry, Recorder likewise of the said City, as also of Northamp∣ton and of Tamworth, and did excellent service for his Majesty in the time of the Rebellion, especially by his routing the Parliament Forces near Banbury, 6 of May 1643. He died at Castle-Ashby in Northamptonshire, 15 Dec. 1681, and was buried in a Vault by his Ancestors, under the Church of Compton Winniate commonly called Compton in the hole in Warwickshire. He had a younger brother named Sir Charles Compton a most valiant person, and one that had done his Maj. great service in the said Rebellion. He died in the latter end of Nov. 1661, (being then a Parl. man for the Town of Northampton) and was buried at Sywell in Northamptonshire.

Robert Lord Rich.—The same, if I mistake not, that was after∣wards Earl of Holland.

Colonel Sir John Byron Knight of the Bath, lately Lieutenant of the Tower of London.—He was about this time made Field-Mar∣shal of all his Majesties Forces in the County of Worcester, Salop, Chester, and North-Wales, and in the 19 of Car. 1. was advanced to the title of Lord Byron of Rochdale in Lancashire.

Sir Will. Le Neve Kt, Clarenceaux King of Arms.—This person was of the antient family of his name living at Aslacton in Norfolk, received some Academ. education in Caies Coll. in Cambridge, and afterwards by the favour of the Earl Marshal of England was crea∣ted Herald extraordinary by the title of Mowbray, 29 June 1624. Soon after he was made York Herald, was imployed into France in the first of Car. 1, and from thence attended Qu. Henrietta Maria into England; who with Sir Hen. S. George then Richmond Herald, were royally rewarded by her Majesty, with the (a) 1.6 gift of a thou∣sand French Crowns. He was also employed to attend upon his Majesties Embassage, which was sent in the year 1629 unto the French King Lewis 13, and at the Ceremonies done thereat, he there performed his office in his Coat of Arms, as it appears in a French relation about that time printed. At his return from thence, the King rewarded him with a Chain of gold of good value, and a Medal of his Portraicture. Afterwards he was made Norroy, and at length Clarenceaux; and closely adhering to his Majesties cause, was not only several times in danger of his life by summoning cer∣tain Garrisons to be delivered up to his Majesty, and afterwards up∣on denial, by proclaiming the Soldiers of those Garrisons Traytors, in his Coat of Arms and Trumpet sounding, but also lost his Estate during the time of Usurpation. I have seen several of his Colle∣ctions concerning Ceremonies, which are often quoted in the book of Elias Ashmole Esq. intit. The institution, laws and Ceremonies of the most noble Order of the Garter. I have also seen other of his Colle∣ctions and fenestral Inscriptions, which have been used and quoted by others, and may be of great use to some that are curious and critical in those matters. At length being craiz'd or distemper'd in his brain, was kept up close in a house of Lunaticks at Hogsden alias Hoxton near London: So that being not in a capacity of being restored to his place of Clarenceaux after his Majesties return, much less at his Coronation in the beginning of 1661, his Office was confer'd on Sir Edw. Bysshe, who kept it to his dying day. This Sir Will. Le Neve who had been very knowing and well vers'd in matters of Arms, Armory, and all matters pertaining thereunto, dyed at Hogsden before mention'd: whereupon his body being con∣veyed to the Church of S. Bennet near Pauls Wharf in London (in which Parish the Coll. of Arms is situated) was therein buried, 15 Aug. 1661. After his death most of his Collections came into the hands of Sir Edw. Walker, some of which he gave to the said Coll. and others he left to Sir John Clopton who married the said Sir Ed∣ward's Daugh. and Heir.

Henry Hastings Esq. was actually created also Doctor of the Civ. Law on the same day, Nov. 1.—He was created Lord Hastings of Loughborough in Leycestershire, 22 Oct. 1643.

Christopher Lewknore Esq.—He was a Burgess for the City of Chichester, to serve in that Parl. that began 3 Nov, 1640, but he leaving it because of the violent Proceedings of the Members there∣of, he retired to Oxon, adher'd to his Majesties cause, sate in the Parliament there 1643, and on the 18 of Dec. 1644, he being then a Colonel in his Majesties Army, received the honour of Knight∣hood.

Thom. Hanmore.—His bare name only standing in the Register, I can say nothing of him, only by conjecture; viz. That he was Sir Tho. Hanmer Baronet, who had been Burgess for the Town of Flint in that Parliament that began at Westm. on the 13 of Apr. 1640.

Sir Rob Stapylton Knight.—This person who was the third son of Rich. Stapylton of Carleton in Moreland in Yorkshire Esq, was edu∣cated a Rom. Cathol. in the Coll. of the English Benedictines at Doway in Flanders, and being too gay and poetical to be confin'd within a Cloyster, he left them, went into England, turned Pro∣testant, was made one of the Gentlemen in ord. of the privy Cham∣ber to Prince Charles, followed his Majesty when he left London, was Knighted 13 Sept. 1642, followed him after Edghill Battel to

Oxon, where he was actually created Doct. of the Civil Law, a before 'tis told you, suffered when the Royal Cause declined, lived a studious life in the time of Usurpation, and at length upon the restauration of K. Ch. 2. (if not happily before) he was made one of the Gent. Ushers of the Privy Chamber belonging to him. He hath written (1) The slighted maid, a Comedy. Lond. 1663. qu. (2) The step mother, Trag. Com. Lond. 1664. qu. (3) Hero and Leander▪ Trag. Lond. 1669. qu: And translated into English (1) Pliny's Panegyrick; a speech in Senate, &c. Oxon. 1644. qu. Illu∣strated with Annotations by Sir Robert Stap. (2) The first six Sa∣tyrs of Juvenal, with Annotations clearing the obscurer places out of History, Laws and Ceremonies of the Romans. Oxon. 1644. oct. Dr. Bart. Holyday used often to say that he made use of his Translation of Juvenal, which Sir Robert borrowed of him in MS. when he was about to publish the said six Satyrs. (3) The Loves of Hero and Leander, a Greek Poem. Oxon. 1645. qu. in 3 sh. and at Lond. 1647. in oct. It was written originally by Musaeus. To which Translation he hath added Annotations upon the Original. (4) Le∣anders letter to Hero, and her answer. Printed with The Loves, &c. 'Tis taken out of Ovid, and hath Annotations put to it by Sir Rob. (5) Juvenals sixteen Satyrs. Or, a survey of the manners and actions of mankind, with arguments, marginal Notes and Annotati••ns, clear∣ing the obscure places out of the Hist. Laws and Ceremonies of the Ro∣mans. Lond. 1647. oct, with Sir Rob. Picture before it. It is de∣dicated to Henry Marquess of Dorchester, (as one or two of the for∣mer books are) who seems to have been a favourer of his muse. This last book being much enlarged by him, was printed in a very fair fol. at Lond. 1660, bearing this title—Mores Hominum: The manners of men described in sixteen Satyrs by Juvenal, as he is pub∣lished in his most authentick copy, lately printed by command of the King of France. Whereunto is added the invention of seventeen designs in pictures, with arguments to the Satyrs. Before this book is the Effigies of Sir Robert, curiously engraven, but represented too young. (6) The history of the Low Country Warrs (or de Bello Galgico) &c. Lond. 1650. fol. Written in Lat. by Famianus Strada. What other Books he hath written and translated I know not, nor any thing else of him, only that he paying his last debt to nature on the ele∣venth day of July, an. 1669, was buried near to the Vestry door in the Abbey Church of S. Peter at Westminster. He was Uncle to Sir Miles Stapylton of Yorkshire, younger Brother to Dr. Stapylton a Benedictine Monk: which last wrot himself and was usually cal∣led Benedictus Gregorius Stapylton, being President of the English Benedictines. He died in the Monastery of the English Benedi∣ctines at Delaware in Loraine, 4 Aug. 1680, and was there in∣ter'd.

Will. Kelligrew Esq. sometimes a Gent. Com. of S. Johns Coll.—He was afterwards a Knight and a publisher of several books, and therefore to be mentioned at large hereafter, he being now li∣ving.

Sir Will. Walter of Sarsden in the Parish of Churchill in Oxfordshire Baronet.—He was son and heir of Sir John Walter sometimes Chief Baron of the Exchequer, and dying on the 23 of March 1674 aged 74 years, was buried in the Parish Church of Churchill before mention'd.

Sir John Monson or Mounson of South Carleton in Lincolnshire Knight of the Bath and Baronet.—This person, who was son of Sir Tho. Mounson of the same place Baronet, was born in the Parish of S. Sepulcher in London, not bred in any University, only spent some time in one of the Inns of Court, whereby he became as good a Lawyer as any in London, and as wise a man as any now (1642) in Oxon, when then he assisted in all Councils, and was in all Treaties, particularly in that concerning the surrender of the Gar∣rison of Oxford to the Parliament, an. 1646. He afterwards suf∣fered much for his Loyalty, and at length was permitted a quiet retirement. He hath written (1) An Essay of afflictions by way of advice to his only son. Lond. 1661. 62. Written in the time of the unhappy Wars. (2) Antidote against the errors of opinions of many in their dayes, concerning some of the highest and chiefest duties of re∣ligion, viz. Adoration, Almes, Fasting and Prayer. Printed with the former book. (3) Supream power and common right, &c. This I have not yet seen, and therefore I cannot give you a fuller title, nor the time when printed. He died in the year 1684, aged 84 or more, and was buried in the Church of South Carleton before mentioned, among the graves of his Ancestors. The report among his Relations at this day is, that when he was in Oxon in the War time he was made Doctor of Physick, but false; for he being ver∣sed in the Common, thought it convenient to be created Doctor of the Civil, Law, and among those doth his name stand.

Sir Christopher Hatton Knight of the Bath.—He was created Lord Hatton of Kirbye in Northamptonshire, by Let. Pat. bearing date at Oxon 29 Jul. 1643, and about that time was made privy Counsellor to K. Ch. 1. and Controller of his Houshold, he being then accounted a friend to all that loved the King and Ch. of Eng∣land, for which he suffered in a high degree. Some time after the restauration, his Majesty was pleased, of his own accord, in con∣sideration of his vast Sufferings and eminent Loyalty, to make him one of his privy Council, and as a testimony of further favour, he not only made him Governour of the Isle of Guernsey for his life, but confer'd the reversion of that Government on his son, as a lasting mark of honour on his family. This Christop. L. Hatton was a principal Mecaenas of Learning, and more especially of Anti∣quities, wherein his skill and knowledge did far surpass any within the compass of his orb (the Nobility) that I know.

Sir Brian Palmes of Ashwell or Astwell in Rutlandshire Kt.—This loyal Knight, (son of Sir Guy Palmes) who had been educa∣ted in Trin. Coll, was chose a Burgess for Aldbu••g in Yorkshire, to

serve in that Parl. which began at Westm. 13 Apr. 1640, but whe∣ther he did sit in the Parl. at Oxon 1643 I know not. He died in 1654.

Sir Will. Brounker Kt, late Commissary general of the Musters in the Scotch Expedition an. 1639, now Vicechamberlain to Prince Charles and one of the privy Chamber to K. Ch. 1, was then also (Nov. 1.) actually created Doctor of the Civil Law.—This loyal Knight, who was son of Sir Hen. Brounker President of Mounster in Ireland, by Anne his wife sister of Henry Lord Morley, was created Vicount of Castle-Lyon in the said Kingdom 12 Sept. 1645, and dying in Wadham Coll. in the middle of Nov. following, was buried on the 20 of the said month in the isle joyning, on the west side, to the north Trancept of the Cathedral of Ch. Ch. in Oxon, leaving then behind him a son named William, aged 25 years or there∣abouts, of whom I shall speak at large under the year 1646. Wi∣nefrid the widow of the said L. Brounker (dau. of Will. Leigh of Newenham in Warwickshire) died 20 July 1649, after she had lost and won vast sums of money by gaming: whereupon her body was conveyed to Oxon, and buried by that of her husband. Ma∣ny years after was a large marble stone laid over their graves, and in the wall near it was erected a splendid monument of Aladaster containing their Statua's sitting, both leaning on a table that stands between them.

Sir Nich. Byron of Norfolk, was also then created Doctor of the Civ. Law.—He was Uncle to John Lord Byron, was a Colonel and an excellent Commander of foot. K. Ch. 1. did so much value him, that in all warlike engagements he would have him always near to him. I have been told by persons that had degrees confer'd upon them in these Creations, that Thomas, Robert (*) 1.7 and William Byron, all Knights, valiant Colonels for his Majesty and brothers to the most couragious Lord Byron before mention'd, had degrees confer'd on them, but in what faculty they knew not, nor are they registred. For the truth is the public Scribe or Registrary of the University that now was, being given more to bibbing and smoak∣ing than the duty of his Office, many learned and valiant persons are omitted by him. Nay, those also that are by him remembred have only their bare names, and sometimes only their Sirnames, set down, without the addition of their Titles, Quality, Office, or place of habitation. Sir Tho. Byron before mentioned was buried on the left side of the grave of William Lord Grandison in a little isle joyning on the south side of the choire of Ch. Ch. Cathedral in Oxon, 9 Feb. 1643.

Wingfield Lord Cromwell.—He was, after the death of his fa∣ther, Earl of Arglas in Ireland.

Sir Thom. Salisbury Baronet, sometimes of Jesus Coll. in this Uni∣versity.

Will. Chadwell Esq.—He was a Burgess for Michel in Cornwall to serve in that Parl. that began at Westm. 3 Nov. 1640: which Par∣liament he leaving because of the violent proceedings therein, reti∣red to his Majesty at Oxon, and sate in the Parl. there.

Ferdinando Stanhope Esq.—He was a Burgess for Tamworth in Staffordshire for the said Parliament, but leaving it, he retired to his Majesty and sate in Oxford Parliament: This worthy person, who was a younger son of Philip Earl of Chesterfield, was made a Colonel of Horse in the Kings Army, and was soon after slain at Bridgford in Nottinghamshire.

John Dutton of Sherbourne in Glocestershire Esq.—He was one of the Knights for that County to sit in the said Parliament; but be∣ing frighted thence by the tumults that came up to the Parliament door, as other Royalists were, he conveyed himself away private∣ly to Oxon, and sate there. He was a learned and a prudent man, and as one of the richest, so one of the meekest, men in England. He was active in making the defence, and drawing up the Arti∣cles, of Oxon, when the Garrison was to be surrendred to the Par∣liament: for which and his steddy Loyalty he afterwards was for∣ced to pay a round sum in Goldsmiths Hall at London.

John Lufton of S. Johns Coll.—He was now Rector of Ibstock in Leycestershire, where being always esteemed a great Royalist and Episcoparian, was therefore forc'd thence by the faction: So that flying to Oxon as an Asylum, he was created Doctor of the Ci∣vil Law, and often preached there. He died (at Ibstock I think) an. 1647. or thereabouts.

Daniel Vivian of New Coll.—He was a Founders Kinsman, and dying at Farndish in Bedfordshire, an. 1670, was there, I sup∣pose, buried.

Brome Whorwood of Halton in Oxfordshire Esq, sometimes a Gent. Com. of Trin. Coll.—This person tho he stuck close to K. Ch. 1. in his necessities, yet he did not to his son K. Ch. 2, after whose re∣stauration he was several times elected Burgess for the City of Ox. He died in the Old Pallace Yard at Westminster, 12 Apr. 1684, and was buried in the Church of Halton near to the grave of his father Sir Thom. Whorwood Kt, leaving then behind him a natural son na∣med Thomas, begotten on the body of his servant named Catherine daugh. of Thom. Allen of the Parish of S. Peter in the East in Oxon, Baker.

Sir Thom. Hele of Devonsh. Bt.—He was Burgess for Plimpton in the Parl. that began 13 Apr. 1640, and with Sir Joh. Hele (both Lords of great Estates in their Country) and Walt. Hele of Winston did retire to his Majesty at Oxon, adhere to him, and thereby brought his Cause into great credit for the justness of it, as also rich contributions thereunto, and many forces to maintain it.

Will. Dowdeswell of Pembr. Coll.—This person who was ac∣counted a learned man among those of his Society, became Preb. of

Worcester in 1660, in the place of Francis Charlet M. A. some years before that dead; and had, if I mistake not, other Spiritualities in the Church. In his Prebendship succeeded Dr. George Benson Arch∣deacon of Hereford, an. 1671.

On the same day (Nov. 1.) were also created Doctors of the Civil Law Joh. Knotsford (a Knight I think) Joh. Wandeston, Will. Atkyns, Joh. Palmer, and one Peachy; or at least were permitted to be created when they pleased; which is all I yet know of them.

Nov. 10. Will. Smith Esq. sometimes a Gent. Com. of Trin. Coll.—He was a Burgess for one of the Cinque-Ports called Winchelsey, for that Parl. that began at Westm. 3 Nov. 1640, but left it, went to Oxon, and sate in the Parl. there 1643.

Dec. 20. Sir Tho. Manwaring Kt, Recorder of Reading in B••rks.

Hen. Moody sometimes a Gent. Com. of Magd. Hall.—I take this person to be the same with Sir Hen. Moody Bt, (son of Sir Hen. Moody of Garsdon in Wilts. Knight and Baronet) who was now in some esteem at Court for his poetical fancy. The father who had been a well bred Gent, died in 1630.

• Dec. 20. Tho. Thory.
• Dec. 20. George Thorald.

Sir Joh. Heydon or Heyden Kt. Lieutenant-General of the Ord∣nance belonging to his Majesty.—He was of the family of the Heydens in Norfolk, was as great a Scholar as a Soldier, especially in the Mathematicks, suffered much for his Majesties Cause, and died in the Winter time, an. 1653. One Joh. Haydon Gent. was entred into the publick or Bodleian Library, under the title of Juris Municipalis studiosas an. 1627: Whether the same with the former I cannot tell. I have made mention of Sir Christop. Heyden (who perhaps was father to Sir John) in the first vol. of this work, p. 278.

Jan. 31. Edw. Lord Littleton, Lord Keeper of the Great Seal.

Sir John Banks Kt. Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, was actually created Doctor of the Civil Law the same day.—This worthy person was born of honest parents in Cumberland, at Kes∣wick as 'tis said, became a Commoner of Qu. Coll. in this Univer∣sity, an. 1604, aged 15 years, left it before he took a degree, en∣tred himself a Student in Greys Inn in Holbourne near London, where applying himself most severely to the study of the Common Law, became a Barrester and a Counsellor of note. In the 6 of Car. 1. he being then a Knight, and Attorney to Pr. Charles, he was con∣stituted Lent Reader of that house, and in the 7 of Car. 1. he was made Treasurer thereof. In 1640. 16 Car. 1. he was made (a) 1.8 L. Ch. Just. of the Kings Bench, and soon after following his Majesty when he was forc'd by tumults from Westm, he was made one of his Privy Council at Oxon, and L. Ch. Just. of the Com. Bench or Pleas; where dying 28 Dec. 1644, was buried in the north tran∣cept joyning to Ch. Ch. Cathedral. See his Epitaph in Hist. & An∣tiq. Ʋniv. Oxon. lib. 2. p. 289. a.

Sir Francis Crawley of Luton in Bedfordsh. Kt, one of the Justices of the Common Pleas, was also then actually created Doct. of the Civ. Law.—You may read much of him in the Memoires of the lives and actions of excellent Personages, &c. published by Dav. Lloyd M. A.—Lond. 1668. fol.

Sir Rob. Forster Knight, one of the Justices of the Common Pleas, was then also created.—He was the youngest son of Sir Thom. Forster Kt. one of the Justices of the Common Pleas in the time of K. Jam. 1, was, after he had left the University, a Student in the Inner Temple, where he became a Barrester and Counsellor of note. In the 7 of Car. 1. he was elected Summer Reader of that House, in the 12 he was made Serjeant at Law, and in the 15 of the said Kings Raign one of the Justices of the Kings Bench, and about that time a Knight. Afterwards he followed his Majesty to Oxon, sate in the Parl. there, as Sir Joh. Banks and Sir Franc. Crawley did, suffered as other Royalists when the Kings Cause declined, and compounded for his Estate. After his Majesties restauration, he was made L. Ch. Just. of the Kings Bench 31 May 1660, and in Octob. (b) 1.9 following L. Ch. Just. of the Common Pleas. He died on the fourth day of Octob. 1663, aged 74 years, and was buried in the Church at Egham in Surrey, where there is a comely monu∣ment in the wall over his grave, in the body of the said Church.

Febr. 7. Sir Rob. Heath L. Ch. Just. of the Com, Pleas, was then actually created Doctor of the Civ. Law.—This noted and loyal person was born in the Parish of Eatonbridge in Kent and baptized in the Church there, educated in the knowledge of the Common Law in the Inner Temple, made Recorder of London 10 Novemb. 1618, in the place of Rich. Martin deceased, Summer Reader of the same Temple in 1619, Sollicitor General in the year following, (being then of Micham in Surrey, and Justice of the Peace for that County) Attorney General in 1625, Serjeant at Law 1632, one of the Justices of the Common Bench in 1640, and two years after, or more, Lord Chief Just. of the Common Bench or Pleas, he being then with his Maj. at Oxon. He hath extant Objections in a Confe∣rence discoursed by the Lords and held by a Committee of both Houses against the Rights and Privileges of the Subject, 3 Apr. 4 Car. 1. Lond. 1641. qu. Upon the declining of the Kings Cause he fled beyond the sea, being an excepted person by the Parliament, and died at Caen in Normandy about the end of Aug. 1649, leaving then behind him a son named Edward, who had his fathers estate restored to him after his Majesties return from his exile. One Rob. Heath Esq. wrot and published, Clarestella, together with other occa∣sional Poems, Elegies, Epigrams and Satyrs. Lond. 1650. in tw. but what kin he was to Sir Rob. Heath the Judge, or whether he was of this University, I know not as yet.

Sir Sampson Emre Knight, sometimes written Evers, Serjeant at Law, was created the same day.—This person, who was the third son of Sir Franc. Ewre Kt, Brother to Ralph Lord Ewre, had been his Majesties Attorney Gen. in Wales, was now with him in Oxon, sate in the Parliament there, and was afterwards a Sufferer for his Cause.

Rob. Holbourne a Counsellor of Linc. Inn, was also created Doct. of the Civ. Law the same day.—In 1640 he was chose Burgess for Michel in Cornwal to serve in that Parl that began at Westm. 3. of Nov. the same year, and on the 15 of Dec. following he argued two hours in the H. of Com. in justification of the Canons. In 1641 he was Lent Reader of the same Inn, and soon after leaving the Parl. because of their desperate proceedings, he retired to his Maj. at Oxon, sate in the Parl. there, 1643, and in the latter end of that year was made the Prince's Attorney, in the place of Sir Ric. Lane, one of his Majesties Privy Council and a Knight. In the latter end of 1644 he was present at the Treaty at Ʋxbridge in be∣half of his Majesty, as he was afterwards at that in the Isle of Wight: About which time retiring to London, he was forced to compound for his Estate, but not permitted to abide in any of the Inns of Court. He hath published, The Reading in Lincolns Inn 28 Feb. 1641, upon the Statute of the 25 of Ed. 3. cap. 2. being the Statute of Treasons. Oxon. 1642. in two sh. in qu.; and revived The transactions of the high Court of Chancery, both by practice and president, &c. originally collected and written by Will. Tothill Esquire.

• Feb. 7. Charles Roser Esq.
• Feb. 7. Degory Collins Esq.

Sir Troylus Turbervill Kt, was created the same day.—This most valiant person who was of the Turbervills of Moreden in Dor∣setshire, was afterwards Captain Lievtenant of the Kings Life-guard of Horse, and was slain at his Majesties going from Newark to Ox∣on, towards the latter end of August 1645.

Sir Thom. Thynne Kt, was also created the same day.—I take this to be the same Sir Thom. who was a younger son of Sir Thom. Thynne of Longleat in Wilts. Kt▪ and the same who was father, by his wife the daughter of Dr. Walt. Balcanquall sometimes Dean of Durham, to Thom. Thynne of Longleat, who was murdered in the Pall-Mall at Westm. on the 12 of Feb. 1681.

Feb. 21. John Penruddock of Compton-Chamberlaine in Wilts. Esq. was then (being in the service of his Majesty) actually created Doctor of the Civ. Law, and three days after had the honor of Knighthood confer'd upon him by his Majesty.—He was father to Colonel John Penruddock, who, when a youth at Blandford school, and after when a Fellow Com. of Qu. Coll. in this Univer∣sity delighted in books, when a man in arms; which, in his matu∣rer years he willingly put on to redeem the liberties of three ensla∣ved Kingdoms, tho with the loss of his own life by the axe in the Castle of Exeter, 16 May 1655. Let therefore all military men of Honour approach with devotion his altar-tomb, and offer up their tributary tears, as due victims to distressed valour.

Adrian Scrope of Cockrington in Lincolnshire Esq, was actually created the same day.—This most valiant person, who was son of Sir Jervais Scrope of the same place and High Sheriff of Lincolnshire 1634, did most loyally attend his Majesty at the fight at Edghill, where receiving several wounds, was left among the dead, as a dead person, there, but recovered by the immortal Dr. Will. Har∣vey, who was there, but withdrawn under a hedge with the Prince and Duke, while the battel was in its height. 'Tis reported that this Adr. Scrope received 19 wounds in one battel in defence of his Majesties Cause, but whether in that fought at Edghill I cannot just∣ly say it: sure I am that he was made Knight of the Bath at the Coronation of K. Ch. 2. an. 1661. There was another Adrian Scrope a Soldier also, but taking part with the Parliament, became one of the Judges of K. Ch. 1. as I shall elsewhere tell you.

Mar. .... John Godolphin of Glouc. Hall.

This year, but the month, week or day when, I know not, (be∣ing omitted by the Registrary) was actually created Doctor of the Civ. Law Rob. Levinz M. A. of Linc. Coll. now in arms for his Majesty, and a very zealous person for his Cause. He was son of Will. Levinz of Seukworth, joyning to Botley, near Abendon in Berks, (who exercised the trade of Brewing in the Parish of S. Peter in the Baylie, within the City of Oxon) and he the son of Will. Levinz sometimes Alderman and Apothecary of the said City. This Ro∣bert who was afterwards a Captain, did considerable service accor∣ding to his capacity, but upon the surrender of the Garrison of Ox∣on. to the Parliament, he betook himself to his book again, as some hundreds of Scholars did that had bore arms. After the murder of K. Ch. 1, he engaged himself for his son, received a Commission from him for the raising of Forces and blank Commissions for divers Officers. But he being at length discovered by certain inquisitive persons employed purposely to find out plots against the State, he was hurried before a Court-Marshal, where acknowledging their allegations against him and the justice of his Cause, was by them sentenced to be hang'd. Whereupon he was hurried away in a Coach from the Mewse (guarded by a Troop of Horse) to the Ex∣change in Cornhill, where he was executed about noon on the 18 of July 1650, aged 35 years, leaving a widow behind him, daugh. of Sir Peregrin Bertie, son of Robert Earl of Lindsey. These things I here set down because the said Dr. Levinz was afterwards numbred among the Loyal Martyrs.

Doct. of Phys.

From the 1 of Nov. to the 31 of Jan. were more than 20 Do∣ctors of Physick actually created, of which number were these that follow.

Nov. 1. Sir Rich. Napier Kt, originally of Wadh. Coll, afterwards Fellow of that of Allsoules, was then actually created Doctor of Phys.—This person who was Nephew and Heir to Rich. Napier Rector of Linford in Bucks, a younger son of Sir Rob. Napier of Luton-Hoe in Bedfordshire Bt, was afterwards one of the first mem∣bers of the Royal Society, a great pretender to Vertue and Astrology, made a great noise in the world, yet did little or nothing towards the publick. He died in the house of Sir John Lenthall at Besills-Lee near Abendon in Berks, 17 Jan. 1675, and was buried in the Church at Linford before mentioned; the Mannour of which, did belong to him; but after his death his son Thom. sold it for 19500 l. or thereabouts. The said Sir Richard drew up a book containing A collection of Nativities, which is now in MS. in the hands of Elias Ashmole Esq.

• Nov. 1. Francis Smith of Brasn. Coll.
• Nov. 1. Thom. Smith of Linc. Coll.
• Nov. 1. Joh. Hinton.
• Nov. 1. George Roe.

The said Joh. Hinton was afterwards a Kt, and Physitian to K Ch. 2. and his Queen.

• Dec. 20. Will. Hunt.
• Dec. 20. Andr. Pindar.

• Jan. 16. Joh. Merret a Captain in Cornwall.
• Jan. 16. Walt. Charlton of Magd. Hall.

• Jan. 31. Thom. Baylie lately of Hart Hall.
• Jan. 31. Thom. Hayes a Physitian in the Kings Army.
• Jan. 31. Sir Hen. Manwaring Kt.

The first of these last three, was son of Dr. Ralph Baylie some∣times Fellow of New Coll, and afterwards a Physitian of note at Bathe; which Thomas practising afterwards at Newbury in Berks, died there of a high infection in the prime of his years. As for the last, Sir H. Manwaring, I find one of both his Names and a Knight too, author of The Seamens Dictionary: or an exposition and demon∣stration of all the parts belonging to a ship. Lond. 1670. qu. Whe∣ther the same I cannot tell.

Sir Joh. Terryngham Kt. High Sheriff of Buckinghamshire, was created the same day.—He died on the second day of May 1645, and was buried in S. Maries Church in Oxon.

Sir John Stawell Kt. of the Bath sometimes Gent. Com. of Queens Coll, was also created the same day.—He was one of the Knights for Somersetshire to serve in that Parl. which began at Westm. 3 Nov. 1640, but leaving it when the King was forced to leave Westmin∣ster, he retired to him at Oxon, and sate there for a time in the Par∣liament conven'd there. That which is chiefly memorable of this most worthy person, is, that he being one of the most eminent men in Somersetshire for Estate, Wisdom and Prudence, did, after he had undergone all the principal services and employments for his Country, viz. High Sheriff, Deputy Lieutenant, and Knight for the Shire in several Parliaments, most loyally and courageously take up arms, with three of his sons, raised three Regiments of Horse and two of Dragoons and of Foot upon his sole charge in de∣fence of his Maj. K. Ch. 1, as also of the Laws of this Kingdom, and Rights of the Subject, invaded by wicked Conspirators under colou•• of reformation, an. 1642. He was then a Colonel of Horse, and soon after was made Governour of Taunton, and continued there till remanded. Upon the declining of the Kings Cause, he was not admitted to his composition, as others were, tho comprized within the Articles of Exeter upon the surrender of that City to the Powers at that time prevailing: and the reason was because they thirsted not only after his large Estate, but conspired also to take away his life. He endured in those times of affliction long and te∣dious Imprisonments in the Press-yard in Newgate and other Goales, and after in the Tower of London: And did with admirable Wisdom and Courage approve himself an eminent Assertor of the Laws and Liberties of the Kingdom, by making such a defence in their se∣veral bloody Tribunals, (viz. at their Ʋpper Bench bar and High Court of Justice) as that he put to silence those bold Judges, who sate there with design to take away his life. And tho he was redu∣ced to the greatest want and misery which his severe opposers by sale of his Lands, cutting down his Woods and demolishing the principal Seat of his family at Cotholstone could bring upon him, yet by the subsistance which his aged Mother the Lady Elizabeth Griffin afforded him, which was all he had, he most chearfully un∣derwent the same, lived to see the happy restauration of K. Ch. 2, and to be again elected one of the Knights for the County of So∣merset to sit in that Parl. which began at Westm. 8 May 1661. Af∣ter he had continued there some months, his urgent affairs drew him to his house at Ham three miles distant from Somerton in his own Country; where dying 21 Feb. 1661, aged 62 years, was buried on the 23 of Apr. following on the south side of the Chancel of the Church at Cotholstone, five miles distant from Taunton. There goes under the name of this most loyal person, his Petition and Re∣monstrance to the Parliament and O. Cromwel, as also his Vindication, printed 1653 and 55. fol. In the latter end of Jan. 1682 his Maj. K. Ch. 2. was graciously pleased to create Ralph Stawell Esq. a Ba∣ron of England by the name and stile of Lord Stawell of Somerton, in consideration of the eminent Loyalty and Sufferings of his fa∣ther before mention'd during all the time of the Troubles, and the many good and acceptable Services performed by him.

• Jan. 31. Sir Rob. Lee Knights.
• Jan. 31. Sir Joh. Paulet Knights.

• Nov. 1. Hen. Stringer of New Coll.
• Nov. 1. Joh. Meredith of Alls. Coll.
• Nov. 1. Jer. Taylor of Alls. Coll.

The first of these last three had been Greek Professor of this Uni∣versity, and was afterwards Warden of his Coll: whence being ejected he retired to London, where dying in Febr. 1657, was bu∣ried in the Church of the Black Fryers. The second was now, or about this time Fellow of Eaton Col, and Master of Wigstons Ho∣spital at Leycester: from both which being ejected in the times of Usurpation, he suffered equally with other Loyalists: At length upon his Majesties return he was not only restored to his Fellow∣ship and Hospital, but elected Warden of Alls. Coll. in the place of Dr. Sheldon promoted to the See of London, and made Provost of Eaton Coll. in the room of Dr. Nich. Monk advanced to the See of Hereford. See his Epitaph in Hist. & Antiq. Ʋniv. Oxon. lib. 2. pag. 185. b. The third, Dr. Taylor, was, after his Maj. return, made Bi∣shop of Downe and Conner in Ireland.

• Nov. 1. .... Mason of Cambridge.
• Nov. 1. .... Sherwood of Cambridge.

The first of these two was perhaps Charles Mason of Kings Coll. who was afterwards Rector of the Church of S. Peter le Poore in London, author of (1) Concio ad Clerum Londinensem in Eccles. S. Alphagi. Lond. 1676. qu. (2) Miles Christianus, preached to the Artillery Company 16 Octob. 1673, at S. Mich. in Cornhill, on 2 Tim. 2.3. and of other things. He died in the time of Win∣ter 1677.

Peter Hausted M. A. of Cambridge was also actually created D. of D. the same day.—This noted person was born at Oundle in Nor∣thamptonshire, educated in Queens Coll. in the same University, en∣tred into holy Orders when M. of A, became Curat of Ʋppingham in Rutlandshire, and at length Rector, as 'tis said, of Hadham in Hertfordshire. Upon the breaking out of the Rebellion, or there∣abouts, he became Chaplain to the noble and loyal Spencer Earl of Northampton, stuck close to him in all Engagements, was with him in the Castle of Banbury in Oxfordshire, when stoutly defended a∣gainst them: where concluding his last day in the year 1645, was either buried in the precincts of that Castle, or else in the Church belonging to Banbury. This person who was always accounted an ingenious man and an excellent Poet, hath written and published several things, as, (1) The Rival Friends, a Comedy. Lond. 1632. qu.

He also translated in∣to English Hymnus Tobaci, &c. Lond. 1651. oct. See in the first vol. p. 422, at the bottom.

Nov. 1. George Roberts sometimes Fellow of Trin. Coll. in this University, now Rector of Hambledon in Bucks.—This per∣son who was a general Scholar and a most accurate Preacher, was afterwards thrown out of his Living by the Usurpers, and suffered much for his Loyalty. After his Majesties return he was restored to his Living, and on the 9 of August 1660 he was install'd Arch∣deacon of Winchester, in the place of Dr. Edw. Burby some years be∣fore dead. Dr. Roberts died at Istleworth in Middlesex about the middle of March an. 1660, and was buried in the chancel of his Church at Hambledon before mention'd, on the 17 of the same month. Over his grave was soon after erected a comely Monu∣ment, with an inscription thereon made by Dr. Ralph Bathurst. In his Archdeaconry was installed on the 19 of the said month of March Dr. Thom. Gorges sometimes Fellow of Alls. Coll.

Gilb. Wats Bach. of Div. of Linc. Coll. was actually created D. D. the same day.

James Fleetwood of Cambridge was also then created.—He was the seventh son of Sir George Fleetwood of the Vache in the Parish of Chalfont S. Giles in Bucks. Knight by his wife Catherine (*) 1.10 daugh. of Henry Denny of Waltham in Essex, and Sister to Sir Edw. Denny Earl of Norwich: And being, when a child, very forward to learn, he was sent to Eaton School, where being rip'ned for the University,

was admitted Scholar of Kings Coll. in Cambridge, an. 1622. After he was four years standing in the degree of Mast. of Arts, he became Chaplain to Dr. Wright Bishop of Lichfield, by whom he was pre∣sented to the Vicaridge of Prees or Priss in Shropshire, and soon af∣ter collated to the Prebendship of Eccleshall belonging to the said Church of Lichfield, but before he was admitted or installed, the rebellion broke out. Afterwards being forced for his Loyalty to forsake his preferment, he betook himself to the Wars, and became Chaplain to the Regiment of John Earl of Rivers, and in the qua∣lity of a Chaplain he continued to the end of the said Wars. In 1642 he was by the Kings special command honored with the de∣gree of Doct. of Div. for the service he did for him at Edghill fight, and soon after he was made Chaplain to Charles Prince of Wales, and Rector of Sutton-Colfield in Warwickshire. After the Wars were ceased, and he ejected thence, he became Tutor to three Earls, viz. to the Earl of Lichfield, E. of Kildare and the E. of Ster∣ling: Afterwards to two Dukes, namely to Esme Duke of Rich∣mond and Lenox, with whom he travelled into France (where he di∣ed) and to Charles who succeeded him in his Dukedoms. After the restauration of K Ch. 2. he was the first that was sworn Chap∣lain in ord. to him, was made Provost of Kings Coll. in Cambridge in June 1660, and about that time Rector of Anstey in Hertford∣shire and of Denham in Bucks. On the 29 of Aug. 1675, the Arch∣bishop of Cant. being then at Croydon, and the B. of London (Hench∣man) languishing and near his end, he the said Dr. Fleetwood was consecrated Bishop of Worcester, not in the Chap. at Lambeth, or in that at Fulham, nor in Bow Church because unfinished, but in the Church of S. Peter le Poore in Broadstreet in London, in the place of Dr. Walt. Blandford deceased; at which time his old friend and ac∣quaintance Dr. Charles Mason sometimes of Kings Coll. was Rector of the said Church and procured for him a neighboring Hall to keep his Consecration Feast in. He died on the 17 of July 1683, aged 81 years, and was buried near the body of Bishop Gauden in our Ladies Chappel within the Precincts of the Cath. Ch. at Worcester. In his Provostship of Kings Coll. succeeded Sir Tho. Page Knight, about Michaelmas 1675, a person of great experience, learning, and infinite accomplishments, (who died 8 Aug. 1681) and in his Bishoprick Dr. Will. Thomas, as I have elsewhere told you. After Easter in 1687 was erected over the grave of the said B. Fleet∣wood a large marble Monument, with an Epitaph of his own making, which being too large for this place, shall be now omitted. Tho this Bishop was a very loyal person, yet several of his Family of the Vache were great Parliamentiers and Cromwellians, among whom was George Fleetwood one of the Judges of K. Ch. 1, for which he lost the Vache and his other Estate.

• Nov. 1. John Watkins of Alls. Coll.
• Nov. 1. Hen. Kelligrew of Ch. Ch.

Will. Chillingworth of Trin. Coll. was put into the same roll with the former persons, by his Majesty, to be created D. D. but he came not to take it, nor was he diplomated.

Nov. 10. John Earle sometimes Fellow of Mert. Coll. now Chap∣lain to Charles Pr. of Wales.

• Dec. 20. John Arnway of S. Edm. Hall.
• Dec. 20. Thom. Bradley of Exet. Coll.
• Dec. 20. Thom. Warmstry of Ch. Ch.

• ..... Staunton of Ch. Ch.
• ..... Hodges of Ch. Ch.

These two last were created the same day, or at least were al∣lowed their degrees when they would please to call for them; but whether they were educated in Ch. Ch. it appears not, and therefore I presume they were Strangers that came with, and attended, the Kings Court, lodging now in that house. I find one Thom. Hodges to be Rector of Kensington near London before the rebellion broke out, a Preacher sometimes before the Long Parliament, one of the Ass. of Divines, and a Covenantier. After his Majesties restaurati∣on he became Rector of S. Peter's Church in Cornhill, London, and Dean of Hereford in the place of Dr. H. Croft made Bishop thereof an. 1661; which Deanery he holding to the time of his death, was succeeded therein by Dr. George Benson about Midsummer, an. 1672. This Tho. Hodges hath extant (1) A Glimps of Gods glory, Sermon before the H. of Com. at a solemn Fast, 28 Sept. 1642, on Psal. 113.5.6. Lond. 1642. qu. (2) The growth and spreading of Here∣sie, Fast-serm. before the H. of Com. 10 Mar. 1646. on 2 Pet. 2.1. Lond. 1647. qu (3) Inaccessible glory: or the impossibility of seeing Gods face whilst we are in the body: Serm. at the funeral of Sir Theod. de Mayerne in the Church of S. Martin in the Fields, on Friday 30 of Mar. 1655. on Exod. 33.20. Lond. 1655. qu. and perhaps other things, but such I have not yet seen, nor can I believe him to be the same with Hodges before mentioned who was created D. of D, because I cannot find him written or called Doctor till after his Majesties return. Another Thom. Hodges I find who was Rector of Soulderne near Deddington in Oxfordshire, and Bach. of Divinity, not of this University but of that of Cambridge, and af∣terwards one of the Chaplains of Allsouls Coll, in the time of Oliver, which he kept with his Rectory. This person who was also a zea∣lous Presbyterian, was born at Oundle in Northamptonshire, first ad∣mitted into Emanuel Coll, and thence taken and made Fellow of that of S. John the Evangelist; the Master and Society of which pre∣sented him to the Rectory of Soulderne before mention'd. When the Act of Uniformity came out he prevailed so much with the said Society that they nominated his friend to be his Successor, viz. one Will. Twyne Fellow of the said Coll: and then Hodges leaving the place, he retired to Okingham in Berks, and became Chaplain to the Hospital there, where he died and was buried about the month of January 1688, as I have been informed from Soulderne. The said Mr. Hodges hath written (1) A Treatise concerning Prayer, con∣taining

particularly an Apology for the Lords Supper. Lond. 1656. in tw. (2) A Scripture Catechisme towards the confutation of sun∣dry errours of the present times. Lond. 1658. oct. Besides which two things, he hath also several Sermons extant as (1) The hoary head crowned, a fun. serm. on Prov. 16.31. (2) The creatures good∣ness as they came out of Gods hands, and the good mans mercy to the brute creatures, &c in two sermons, printed twice at least. (3) A cordial against the fear of death, preached before the University of Oxon, on Heb. 2.15. Oxon. 1659. qu. and one, two or more which I have not yet seen. This Thomas Hodges, tho he lived in Oxon several years yet he was neither incorporated, or took any de∣gree in Divinity.

Dec. 20. Edw. Wolley M. of A. or Bach. of Div. of Cambridge, and at this time one of the Chapl. to his Majesty was actually cre∣ated Doct. of Div.—He was born in the antient borough of Shrewsbury, educated in the Kings School there, transplanted thence to St. Johns Coll. in the said University, where he took the de∣grees in Arts; and afterwards adhering to the cause of his Majesty, retired to Oxon to attend, and preached sometimes before, him there. When his Majesties cause declined he suffered as other Roy∣allists did, attended his Son in his adverse fortune, while he himself endured great misery. After the return of K. Ch. 2. he became Re∣ctor of a Church in Essex (Finchingfield I think) to settle the inha∣bitants thereof in loyal principles and to undo and invalidate the doctrine which that most notorious Independent Steph. Marshall had instil'd into them. In 1665 he was promoted to the Episcopal See of Clonfort and Kilmacogh in Ireland, to which being (†) 1.11 con∣secrated at Titam on the 16. of Apr. the same year, sate there for some time, and was held in great veneration for his admirable way Of preaching and exemplary life and conversation. Among several things that he hath extant, are these (1) Eulogia. The Parents bles∣sing their Children; and the Children begging (on their knees) their Parents blessings, are pious actions, warrantable by the word of God and practiced by Gods saints and servants. Lond. 1661. &c. oct. (2) Eudoxia. A module of private prayers, or occasional helps in re∣tired devotions. Printed with the former book. (3) Loyalty amongst Rebels, the true Royallist, &c. Lond. 1662. oct.

• ... Edmonds M. A. of S. Johns Coll. in Cambr.
• ... Earskin B. D. of Magd. Coll. in Cambr.

Both which were actually created the same day.

Jan. 16. Christoph. Prior M. A. of Ball. Coll.—On the 24 of Dec. 1641, he was collated to the Prebendship of Slape in the Church of Salisbury, in Sept. 1643 he became Prebend of Barton Davy in the Church of Wells, and in the latter end of the same year Principal of New Inn in the place of Christoph. Rogers, who some time before had fled from Oxon to the Parliament. This per∣son, who was always esteem'd a good Greecian, and well furnish'd with other parts of learning, dyed about half a year before his Ma∣jesties return, and thereby prevented not only his restauration to what he had lost for the Kings cause, but his promotion to higher Dignities.

Will. O' dis of New Coll. sometimes Proctor of the University was actually created the same day—He was afterwards slain by the Parliament Soldiers, without any provocation given on his part, be∣tween Adderbury in Oxfordshire (of which place he was Vicar) and the Garrison of Oxon, about 1644.

• Jan. 16. Henry Ancketyll of Wadh. Coll.
• Jan. 16. Hugh Halswell of Alls. Coll.
• Jan. 16. Joh. Metelfer or Meltalfer of Cambr.
• Jan. 16. (Edw.) Hyde of Cambr.

The last of these four, I take to be the same Edward Hyde, who is mention'd in Alexander Hyde among the Bishops nu. 34.

... Fowler of Ch. Ch. was created the same day.—On Matthew Fowler of Ch. Ch. took the degree of Bach. of Arts an. 1637, as I have in the Fasti of that year told you: So that if the said Fowler be the same with the other, then was he created D. D. at 5 years standing in the degree of Bachelaur. The said Matthew Fowler was now deeply engaged in his Majesties service, for which afterwards he suffered as other Royallists did. After his Majesties restauration he became Rector of the rich Church of Whitchurch in Shropshire in the place of Dr. Nich. Bernard deceased, where he continued to his dying day. He hath published besides Totum hominis, mention'd in the Fasti an. 1637, a Sermon entit. The properties of heavenly wis∣dome, preached at the Assizes held at Shrewsbury in the County of Salop.—Lond. 1681-2. qu. He died on S. Stephens day 1683, aged 66 years, and was buried in the Chancel of the Church at Whitchurch before mention'd. Soon after was a black marble mo∣nument set up in the north wall over his grave, with an inscription thereon, wherein 'tis said that he was almost 22 years Rector of the said Church, that he was descended of the antient family of his name living in Staffordshire that he was first of the Ʋniversity of Oxon, and afterwards of Cambridge and the ornament and glory of both, and that when he was a young man of Ch. Ch, he was one of the chief of those many Scholars that stood up, and valiantly defended the Kings cause, &c.

Other persons also occur created the same day, or at least were nominated by his Majesty, to be promoted Doctors of Divinity, when they were pleased to make intimation to the Vicechancel∣lour, as one Ramsd••n of Linc. Coll, King of Magd. Hall, Babington of Ch. Ch. &c.

Giles Church in the Fields n•••••• London, but what relation he had to the said Tho∣mas, I cannot yet tell. This Robert, who seems to be of the fami∣ly of the Boremans in the Isle of Wight, hath written several things, among which are (1) The Countrymans Catechisme: or the Churches plea for tithes. Lond. 1651. qu. (2) The triumph of learning over ignorance, and of truth and falshood. Being an answer to four quae∣ries, first whether there be any need of Ʋniversities? &c. Lond. 1653. qu.

Chanc. the same, viz. Philip Earl of Pembroke and Mountgomery &c. but he being thought unworthy to bear the said office by the King and University, forasmuch as he was actually against the for∣mer in the present War, and altogether neglected the other, the K. authorized (a) 1.12 the members thereof to make choice of another: wherefore they calling a convocation on the 24 of Octob. did elect (b) 1.13 for their Chancellour, one that had been formerly of Magd. Coll, viz. Will. Marquess of Hertford, Vicount Beauchamp, Baron Seymour, &c, and on the 31 of the said month they admitted and installed him in the House of convocation, (then in the north chap. joyning to S.

At which time perceiving the English Church tottering, he went be∣yond the Sea, changed his religion, and was entred into the En∣glish Coll. at Doway. After some time spent there, he returned into England, became Usher to James Shirley when he taught in the White Fryers at London in the time of Oliver, but being seized on, and imprisoned for some time, was at length released, and di∣ed in London in a mean condition.

Dec. 9. Sir John Lamb Kt. Doct. of the Laws of Cambridge and Dean of the Arches.—This worthy Knight who had been a great persecutor of the Puritans, was now forced by them to leave his station and retire to his Majesty at Oxon, where for a time he found security. Afterwards he suffered much for the royal cause, paid a large summ of money for his composition, and was in a man∣ner utterly ruin'd. He died in London (in the Bell Inn, as 'tis said, in S. Martins-lane) in the beginning of the year 1647.

CREATIONS.

Notwithstanding the chief members of the University had the last year put up a Petition to his Majesty against the promiscuous conferring of degrees and the danger that the University was like to fall into, if some remedy in the matter was not taken, as namely that the solemn Arts and Sciences would be destroyed, the fountain of the University treasury dried up (because that few or none that were created paid any fees) and hopeful Scholars discouraged and the University dishonored; yet nevertheless his Majesty could not otherwise at this time but recommend (as he did the year before) several of his faithful subjects to have degrees confer'd upon them, tho with this caution (as the Chancellour of the University did the like in his recommendatory Letters) that they should pay all o•• most of the fees belonging to each degree. The names of most

of such persons that were actually created in several faculties, are here set down.

Bach. of Arts.

Jul. 6. John Theyer Gent, sometimes a Student in Magd. Coll.—He was created by vertue of his Majesties rescript written with his own hand to Sir Edw. Nicholas his Secretary, which was the same day sent to the venerable convocation, to the end that the members thereof freely (*) 1.14 bestow that honor upon him who hath well deserved of his Majesty and the Church. The said Mr. Theyer had a little before presented to his Majesty on the Mount in Merton Coll. garden, a book which he had dedicated to him, as I have told you among the Writers, an. 1673, p. 380.

July 18. Rich. Evans B. A. of Magd. Coll.—He was then cre∣ated Master because he had lately done for the King service in the Western parts of England, and for that also he was now about to go into Ireland.

In the month of May it was granted to Edw. Willisford then absent, that he might be created, when he came to the University, but whether he came or was admitted it appears not; perhaps he was the same Mr. Willisford who was lately ejected from Peter house in Cambridge for denying the Covenant.

Doct. of Law.

Apr. 12. George Owen one of the Heralds of Armes by the title of York.

May 29. Rich. Colchester, was then also actually created—He is stiled in the publick reg. dignissimus vir, and de republica optime meritus. One Rich. Colchester of Westbury in Glocestershire Esq. was one of the six Clerks in the High Court of Chancery, and died in the troublesome times, about 1646: whether the same Quaere.

June 16. Jeffry Palmer of the Middle Temple Esq.—This wor∣thy Gentleman who was son of Thom. Palmer of Carleton in Nor∣thamptonshire, by Catherine his wife daughter of Sir Edw. Watson of Rockingham Kt, sister to the first Lord Rockingham, was chosen Bur∣ges for Stanford in Lincolnshire to sit in that Parliament which began at Westm. 3. Nov. 1640, wherein he was a manager of the evidence against Thomas Earl of Strafford, and seemed to be an ene∣my to the prerogative. But afterwards he perceiving full well what mad courses the members of the said Parliament took, he boldly delivered his mind against the printing of that Declaration called the Grand remonstrance; for which he was committed to custody

in Nov. 1642. Afterwards being freed thence, he retired to Oxon, sate in the Parliament there, and was esteemed a loyal and able person in his profession. Upon the declining of the Kings cause, he suffered as other Royallists did, lived obscurely in England, and upon pretence of plotting with the Cavaliers against Oliver the Protector, he was imprison'd in the Tower of London, in the month of May 1655. On the 31. of May 1660, his Majesty being then newly restored, he was made Attorney General, and about that time chief Justice of Chester and a Knight, and on the 7 of June following he was created a Baronet. He hath collected and writ∣ten Reports bearing this title, Les Reports de Sir Gefrey Palmer Che∣valier & Baronet, &c. Lond. 1678. fol. He paid his last debt to nature at Hamsted in Middlesex on the fifth day of May, an. 1670 aged 72: whereupon his body being conveyed to the Hall of the Middle Temple, laid there in state for a time, attended by three Heralds of Armes. Afterwards it was conveyed to the Seat of his Ancestors at Carleton in Northamptonshire before mention'd, and there buried in a Vault under part of the Parish Church. What inscription there is for him over his sepulcher I cannot tell: sure I am that Dr. Thom. Pierce hath composed a most noble (*) 1.15 epitaph on him, as also on his Wife Margaret (Daughter of Sir Franc. More of Fawley in Berks) who died on the 16. of the Cal. of May 1655 aged 47 years; but it being too long for this place I shall only give you the beginning. Galfridus Palmer vir ad omnia, praesertim opti∣ma, us{que} quae{que} comparatus, &c.

July 18. John Philipot Herald of Armes by the title of Somerset—This person who was of Eltham in Kent, was born at Folkston in that County, and having a genie from his childhood to Heraldry and Antiquities, was, from being an Officer of Armes extraordi∣nary called Blanch Lyon, created Officer in ordinary called Rouge-Dragon, 19 of Nov. 1618, and on the 8. July 1624 Herald by the title of Somerset: In which capacity he was employed by his Ma∣jesty to make a presentation of the most noble Order of the Garter to his Highness Charles Lodowick Prince Elector, in the Army at Bockstell or Bockstall in Brabant. In the beginning of the Presbyte∣rian rebellion in 1642, he was one of those Loyal Heralds who fol∣lowed his Majesty, was with him at Oxon, but took up his quar∣ters two miles distant thence, at a place called Chawley in the Pa∣rish of Comnore: where being seized on by certain Parliament Sol∣diers of the Garrison of Abendon was conveyed thence a Prisoner to London, in 1644 or thereabouts. But being soon after set at li∣berty, he spent the short remainder of his days in London in great obscurity. At length yielding to nature, I cannot say in want, was buried within the precincts of S. Bennets Church near to Pauls∣wharf on the 25 of Nov. 1645. He hath written (1) Catalogue of the Chancellours of England, the Lord Keeper of the Great Seal and the Lord Treasurers of England. With a collection of divers that have been Masters of the Rolls. Lond. 1636. qu. (2) Additions to Will. Camdens Remains concerning Britaine. Lond. 1637, &c. qu. (3) Vil∣lare Cantianum; or, Kent surveyed and illustrated, being an exact description of all the Parishes, Boroughs, Villages and Mannours of the County of Kent. Lond. 1659. fol. Published by, and under the name of, Thom. Philipot his Son, as I have told you among the Incorporations in the Fasti, under the year 1640. (4) An Histo∣rical Catalogue of the High Sheriffs of Kent. This is added to the said Villare Cautianum. He the said Joh. Philipot hath also writ∣ten, as 'tis said, a book proving that Gentry doth not abate with Apprenticeship, but only sleepeth, during the time of their inden∣tures, and awaketh again when they are expired. But this book I have not yet seen.

Aug. ... Sir John Borough Kt, Garter Principal King of Armes—His Grace did then pass in a Convocation to be Doctor of the Civil Law, but whether he was admitted, it appears not (as seve∣ral Creations do not) in the publick register. This person who was the Son of a Dutch man, a Brewer by trade, living in Sandwych in Kent, as I have been informed at the Office of Armes, was educated a Scholar, and afterwards in the com. Law in Greys Inn, but his genie inclining him much to the study of Antiquity, he obtained the office of Keeper of the Records in the Tower of London, where by his searches he laid the foundation of certain books. In 1623 he, by the favour of the Earl Marshal, to whom he was then, or lately, Secretary, was sworn Herald extraordinary by the title of Mowbray, because no person can be King of Armes before he is He∣rald, and on the 23 of Dec. the same year, he was created Norroy King of Armes at Arundel-house in the Strand, in the place of Sir Rich. S. George created Clarenceaux. On the 17 of July 1624, he received the honour of Knighthood, and in 1634 he was made Garter King of Armes in the place of Sir Will. Segar deceased. This learned and polite person, who writes his Sirname in Latine Burrhus, hath written (1) Impetus juveniles, & quaedam sedatioris aliquantulum animi epistolae. Oxon. 1643. oct. Most of the epistles are written to Philip Bacon, Sir Franc. Bacon afterwards Lord Verulam, Thom. Farnabie, Tho. Coppin, Sir Hen. Spelman, &c. (2) The Sove∣raignty of the British Seas, proved by records, history and the munici∣pal laws of the Kingdom. Lond. 1651. in tw. It was written in the year 1633. He hath also made A collection of records in the Tower of London, which I have not yet seen. He died in Oxon, to which place he had retired to serve his Majesty according to the duty of his office, on the 21. of Octob. 1643, and was buried the next day at the upper end of the Divinity Chappel joyning, on the north side, to the choire of the Cath. of Ch. Church in the University Of Oxon.

Octob▪ 31. Sir George Radcliff Kt, sometimes a Gent. Com. of Ʋniv. Coll, was, after he had been presented by Dr. Rich. Steuart Dean of S. Pauls Cathedral, actually created Doctor of the Civil Law in a Convocation celebrated in the north Chappel (commonly called Ad. Bromes Chap) of S. Maries Church.—He afterwards suffered much for the Kings cause, (as he in some part had done be∣fore for the sake of the most noble Thomas Earl of Strafford) was with him in his exile, and died some years before his restauration. You may read much of him in the Memoires of the lives, actions, &c. of excellent personages, &c. by Dav. Lloyd M. A. pag. 148. 149▪ &c.

Nov. 18. Thom. Bird a Captain in the Kings Army and about this time Governour of Eccleshal in Staffordshire, was then actually created.—After his Majesties restauration, he became one of the Masters in ordinary of the High Court of Chancery and on the 12 of May 1661 he received the honor of Knighthood from his Ma∣jesty.

Jan. 31. Sir Rich. Lane Knight, Lord chief Baron of the Exchec∣quer, was then actually created Doctor of the Civ. Law with more than ordinary ceremony—This worthy person who was the Son of Rich. Lane of Courtenhall in Northamptonshire by Elizabeth his Wife Daughter of Clem. Vincent of Harpole in the said County, was edu∣cated from his youth in the study of the Com. Law in the Middle Temple, where he made great proficiency beyond his contempora∣ries, was called to the Bar and became a Counsellour of note. In the 5. of Char. 1. he was elected Lent Reader of his Inn, but did not read because of the pestilence, and when the Long Parliament began he was so much esteemed for his great knowledge in the Law that the most noble Thomas Earl of Strafford made use of him to ma∣nage his cause when he was tried for high treason in the latter end of 1640. Soon after he was made Attorney to Prince Charles; at which time seeing what strange courses the members of Parliament took, when the King had given them leave to sit, he entrusted his intimate friend Bulstrode Whitlock a Counsellour of the Middle Tem∣ple with his Chamber there, all his goods therein, and an excellent Library; and forthwith leaving London he retired to the King at Oxon, where in 1643 he was made Serjeant at Law, Lord chief Baron of the Exchecquer, a Knight on the 4 of Jan. the same year, and about the same time one of his Majesties honourable Privy Council. In the latter end of the next year he was nominated one of the Commissioners by his Maj. to treat of Peace with those of the Parliament at Ʋxbridge, and on the 30 of Aug. 1645 he had the Great Seal delivered to him at Oxon, on the death of Edward Lord Littleton. In May and June 1646, he was one of the prime Commissioners to treat with those appointed by Parliament for the surrender of the Garrison of Oxon, and soon after conveyed himself beyond the Sea to avoid the barbarities of the Parliament. In his absence his Son was conducted to the said B. Whitlock, then in his greatness, to the end that the said goods of his Father, then in his possession, might be delivered to him for the use of his said Father, who then wanted them; but Whitlock would not (a) 1.16 own that he ever knew such a Man as Sir Richard, and therefore he kept what he had of his, to the great loss of him the said Sir Richard, who died, as a certain (b) 1.17 author tells us, in the Isle of Jersey before the month of Aug. 1650, but false as I presume, because that on the 22 of Apr. 1651 a (c) 1.18 Commission issued forth from the Prerogative Court to the Lady Margaret his Relict, to administer the goods, chattels and debts of him the said Sir Richard late of Kingsthorp in Northamptonshire, who died in the Kingdom of France This Sir Rich. Lane who was an eminent Professor of the Law hath written Re∣ports in the Court of Exchecquer, beginning in the third, and ending in then ninth of K James 1. Lond. 1657 fol. On the 29 of Jan. 1657 the Great Seal was delivered by his Majesty at Bruges in Flan∣ders to Sir Edw. Hyde Knight.

Sir John Glanvill Kt, Serjeant at Law, was created the same day (Jan. 31.) and admitted in the house of Congregation and Convocation, as Sir Rich. Lane was.—This Sir John was a younger Son of John Glanvill of Tavistock in Devonshire one of the Justices of the Common Bench, (who died 27 July 1600) and he the third Son of another John of the same place, where and in that County their name was gentile and antient. When he was young, he was not educated in this University, but was (as his Father before him) bred an Attorney, and afterwards studied the Common Law in Lincolns Inn, and, with the help of his Fathers notes, became a great proficient. When he was a Counsellour of some years stand∣ing, he was elected Recorder of Plymouth and Burgess for that place to serve in several Parliaments. In the 5. of Char. 1. he was Lent Reader of his Inn, and on the 20 of May 1639, he was made Ser∣jeant at Law, at which time having engaged himself to be a better Servant to the King than formerly, (for in several Parliaments he had been an enemy to the Prerogative) he was in the year following ele∣cted Speaker for that Parliament which began at Westm. on the 13 of April, in which he shew'd himself active to promote the Kings desires. On the 6 of July the same year, he was made one of the Kings Serjeants (being then esteemed an excellent Orator, a great Lawyer, and an ornament to his profession) and on the 7. of Aug. 1641, he received the honour of Knighthood from his Majesty at Whitehall. Afterwards when the King was forced to leave the Parliament, he followed him to Oxon, and was very serviceable to him in many respects. In 1645 he was disinabled from being a member of Parliament sitting at Westminster for his delinquency, as

twas then called: So that retiring to his home after the Kings cause declined, he was committed to Prison, where continuing till he had made his composition, was released in 1648. Under his name are these things extant (1) Enlargements and aggravations up∣on the sixth, seventh and eighth articles against George Duke of Buck∣ingham, an. 1626. See in John Rushworths Collections, under the year 1626. (2) Speech at a general committee of both Houses 23. May 1628, wherein he delivers the reasons of the Commons House, why they cannot admit of the propositions tendered unto them by the Lords, concerning Soveraign power. Printed in qu. See in a book entit. The Soveraigns Prerogative and the Subjects Privileges discussed, &c. in the 3d. and 4th. years of K. Ch. 1. Lond. 1657. fol. p. 145.186. (3) Sp. in Parl. concerning the petition of right. (4) Two speeches before the K. in the H. of Lords, when he was presented by the H. of Commons as their Speaker 15 Apr. 1640. See in the said Collections under the year 1640, p. 1121.1123. (5) Speech in the upper House of Parl. for the redress of present grievances, in Dec. 1640. &c. with other things, &c. After the return of his Majesty K. Ch. 2. he was made his Serjeant also, and dying on the second day of Octob. 1661, was buried in the Church at Broad Hinton in Wiltshire, the Mannour of which, he some years before had bought. In Sept. 1673, Winifrid his Widow put a monument over his grave, with an inscription thereon, which for brevity sake shall be now omitted. One John Glanvill of Exeter Coll. took the degree of Bach. of Arts in 1622, and afterwards that of Master, but he is not to be understood to be the same with Sir John, because he was never bred in any Univer∣sity, as his Son hath informed me. The said Sir John Glanvill had an elder Brother called Sir Francis an Inhabitant of Tavistock; who, when young, being very vicious, was disinherited by his Father and the Estate setled on Sir John: But Sir Francis becoming afterwards a sober man, Sir John restored to him the Estate. See in The life and death of Sir Matthew Hale, &c. Written by Gilb. Burnet D. D.—Lond. 1682 in a large octavo, p. 11.

Feb. 19. Sir Rich. Vivian Knight—He had been elected a Bur∣gess for Tregony in Cornwall to serve in that Parliament which began at Westm. 3. Nov. 1640, but leaving it in 1642 he retired to Oxon and sate in the Parl. there, an. 1643.

Sir Peter Ball of the Middle Temple Knight, Son and Heir of Giles Ball of Mamhed in Devon. was created the same day—In 1632 he became Recorder of the City of Exeter, afterwards the Queens Sollicitor and now (1643) her Attorney, and upon the declining of the Kings cause a great sufferer. After his Majesties return he was restored to what he had lost, became Recorder of Exeter again, after that place had been occupied by two Cromwellians named Edm. Pri∣deaux and Tho. Bampfield. At length the infirmities of age coming upon him he surrendred that office in 1676.

• Feb. 20. John Bodvill Esquires.
• Feb. 20. Owen Griffith Esquires.

The first of these two, was a Knight for Anglesie, to serve in the Parl. began at Westm. 3. Nov. 1640, but leaving it in 1642 sate in the Parl. at Oxon.

• March 21. Ambr. Manaton Esquires.
• March 21. Peirce Edgecombe Esquires.

The first of these last two, who was of Erecarrell in Cornwall, was Parliament man for Lanceston in that County, and afterwards sate at Oxon, suffered for the Kings cause, and dying in 1650, or there∣abouts, was buried in the Church at South Petherwyn. The other was a Parliament man for Cameilford in the said County, and after∣wards sate at Oxon, for which also he suffered in his Estate.

This year was, among others, nominated to be created Doctor of the Civil Law, one Colonel Bard, but whether he was admit∣ted I cannot tell—I take this person to be the same with Henry Bard Son of George Bard Vicar of Stanes in Middlesex, who after he had been educated in Grammar learning in Eaton Coll. School was admitted in Kings Coll. in Cambridge an. 1631. Whilst he was Scholar, he made an excursion to Paris, upon the customary leave of absence (which is but for 9 weeks in a year) without the College or his Relations privity. After he was made Fellow, he travelled for some years into France, Germany, Italy, Turkey, Pale∣stine, Aegypt, Arabia and sent a large account of his several travels to his contemporary Dr. Charles Mason. After his return he lived high, as he had done before, without any visible income, and gave a fair Alcoran to Kings Coll. Library, supposed to be stoln by him out of a Mosque in Egypt; which being valued but at 20 l, he made answer that he was sorry that he had ventur'd his neck for it. This person who was a compact body of vanity and ambition, yet proper, robust and comely, did, upon the approach of the grand rebellion, retire to his Majesty K. Ch. 1. at York, where making himself known to be a Traveller and Master of several languages, especially of the French, which the Queen took notice of, he had a Commission given him to be a Colonel, and afterwards to be Governour of Camden house in Glocestershire, (which, when he quitted, he burnt) and then for a time of Worcester. On the 22 of Nov. 1643, he receiv∣ed the honour of Knighthood, and soon after being made a Baronet, his ambition was so great, that being not content with that station, he, by his, and the endeavours of others, was created Baron of Brombry and Vicount Bellomont in Ireland, 8. July 1645. Afterwards being taken Prisoner in one of his Majesties unfortunate battles, he wrot to the Parliament and told them that he had taken up armes neither for religion (for there were then so many that he knew not which to be of) nor for that moustrap, the Laws, but to re-esta∣blish the King in his Throne, and therefore seeing that the time was not yet come, he desired leave that they would discharge him, that he might relinquish the Land, which accordingly was done. After the murder of K. Ch. 1, he was sent by his Majesty K. Ch. 2, then ••n Exile, Embassador to the Emperour of Persia, upon hopes of

great assistance of money from that Court, in consideration of great Services done to the Persian by the English Ships at Ormus: But so it was, that he being unhappily overtaken in his travels in that Country by a Whirlwind, was choak'd by the Sands, giving there∣by a period to his vain hopes of being the grand Master of Malta, having been a Roman Catholick several years before he died. He left behind him a Widow, not so rich, but that she received relief upon her petition after his Majesties return, from Kings Coll. in Cambridge, and two Daughters who were of his religion, one of which was afterwards Mistress to Prince Rupert, as I have elsewhere told you. He had also a Brother called Maximilian Bard a rich Milliner in London, who was employed by the Long Parliament to buy for them Horses in the time of their rebellion. This Brother, as 'tis supposed, furnished him with money in his travels and high living, being a great admirer of his accomplishments, and as much despised by him.

Doct. of Phys.

May 9. Sir Henry St. George Knight, Garter Principal K. of Arms, was then actually created Doctor of Physick—This person who was the eldest Son of Sir Rich. St. George Clarenceaux King of Armes, was born of an antient family at Hadley St. George in Cambridgshire, bred up to Heraldry, and by the endeavours of his Father became first of all Rouge-Rose extraordinary in the Office or Coll. of Armes, commonly called the Heralds Office, afterwards Blewmantle, and in the latter end of 1615 Richmond, Herald of Armes. In 1627 he was joynt Embassador with the Lord Spencer and Peter Yonge Gent. Usher, and dayly waiter to K. Ch. 1, to invest the King of Sweden with the order of the Garter, which being done, that King not only knighted him and Pet. Yonge at Darsaw in Prussia, but gave them the Armes of the King of Sweden to be used by them and their poste∣rity for ever, as an augmentation to their own Armes. Afterwards he was Norroy King of Armes and at length Garter, and dying in Brasnose Coll. 5. Nov. 1644, was buried in the north west corner of the west isle joyning to the north transcept of the Cathedral of Ch. Church in Oxon, leaving then Issue behind him a Son named Thomas, afterwards a Knight, Norroy, and now (1691) Garter Principal King of Armes; Henry another Son, afterwards Norroy, a Knight and now (1691) Clarenceaux King of Armes, and lastly a third named Richard an Esq, who became Ʋlster King of Armes of the Realm of Ireland in the place of Will. Roberts of Lincolns Inn Esq, and Doctor of the Civil Law of Dublin, an. 1660; which place he surrendring in 1683, was succeeded therein by Athlone, Pursevant or Officer of Armes, named Rich. Carney, who, before (while he was Athlone) had received the honor of Knighthood from the Earl of Arran, and is the first King of Armes of that Kingdom that had that honour confer'd on him. The said Sir H. S. George Garter King of Armes, who died at Oxon, hath published nothing, only made collections of several matters relating to his profession, particularly A Catalogue of the Nobility of England according to their Creations, as they were in 1628, &c. Ms fol. It begins with George Villers Duke of Buckingham, and ends with Sir Franc. Cottington Kt and Bt, Lord Cottington of Hanworth. This Cat. is involved in A new Catalogue of Dukes, Marquesses, Earls, Viscounts, Barons, &c. Lond. 1658. oct. Collected and published by Tho. Walkley.

May 9. Thom. Johnson, whom I have mention'd among the crea∣ted Bachelaurs of Phys. an. 1642, was actually created also Doct. of Physick, in consideration of the large Testimony of his industry (before this year) published—He was born near Hull in Yorkshire, bred an Apothecary in London, and afterwards lived and kept a shop on Snow hill; where by his unwearied pains, advanced with good natural parts, he attained to be the best Herbalist of his age in Eng∣land. His works as to his profession are (1) Mercurius Botanicus in duabus partibus, &c. Lond. 1634. oct. (2) Thermae Bathonicae. (3) His enlarging and amending Joh. Gerards Herball, or general History of Plants, Lond. 1636. fol. (4) His translation of Ambr. Parey his Works of Chirurgery. Lond. 1634. fol. &c. This Dr. Th. Johnson was now (1643) a Lieutenant Coll. in the Garrison of Ba∣sing house in Hampshire, whence going with a party on the 14. of Sept. 1644, to succour certain of the Forces belonging to that house which went to the Town of Basing to fetch provision thence, but beaten back by the enemy (headed by that notorious Rebel Col. Rich. Norton) he received a shot in his shoulder, whereby contracting a fea∣ver, he died in a fortnight after in the said House: At which time his worth did justly challenge funeral tears, being then no less eminent in the garrison for his valor and conduct as a Sold, than famous through the Kingdom for his excellency as an Herbarist and Physitian.

Nov. 18. Spencer Lucie a Colonel in the Kings Army, Son of Sir Tho. Lucie of Charlcot in Warwickshire Knight.

Jan. 31. Henry Nisbett, who had spent several years in the study of Physick in the University of Padua, was then actually created Doctor of that faculty by vertue of the Letters of the Chancellour of this University—He was a Scot born, or at least of Scotch ex∣tract, but what he hath extant relating to his faculty I know not.

Feb. 27. Hen. Hanks—His bare name only stands in the reg. as created Doctor of Physick, and therefore I can say no more of him.

Mar. 21. Will. Glanvill Esq.—He was Burgess for Cameilford in Cornwall to serve in the Parliament began at Westminster 3. Novemb. 1640, but leaving it, he retired to Oxon and sate in the Parliament there.

Doct. of Div.

Apr. 12. Evan Owen Bach. of Div. of Jes. Coll. in Oxon, was then created D. of D.

May 29. Jeb. Weeks Preb. of Bristow, and Bach. of Div. of Cambr. above 20 years standing.—This Doctor, a jocular person, was now a Preacher in Oxon, sometimes either before the King or Par∣liament, and suffered much for the royal Cause. Afterwards he was made Dean of S. Burian in Cornwal upon the promotion of Dr. Creighton to that of Wells, and after his death the said Deanery was annex'd to the Bishoprick of Exeter.

June 15. Joseph Goulson Bach. of Div. of Cambridge and Preb. of Winchester, was created in Congregation by vertue of the Kings Letters as Owen and Weeks were.—In his last Will and Test. pro∣ved 3 Apr. 1674, he is said to be Nuper Decanus Ecclesiae Cath. S. Tri∣nitatis Cicestrensis in Com. Sussex.

June 16. Matthew Griffith Priest, sometimes of Brasn. Coll, after∣wards of Gloc. Hall.

July 18. Will. Stampe of Pembr. Coll.

Oct. 17. Rich. Langham.—Of him I know nothing.

Thom. Hyde Preb. of Stratford in the Church of Sarum, sometimes of Ball. Coll, now, as it seems, of S. Edm. Hall, was actually cre∣ated the same day.—This person who was of the family of the Hydes of Wiltshire, became not only Preb. of Teynton Regis with Yalmeton in the said Church of Salisbury, but also Chauntor thereof, in Nov. 1660, upon the promotion of Dr. Humph. Henchman to be Bishop thereof. He died about the beginning of Sept. 1666; where∣upon his Prebendship of Teynton with Yalmeton, was confer'd on Gab. Thistlethwayt sometimes Fellow of New Coll, on the 10 of the same month, and his Chauntorship on Dr. Joh. South on the 24.

John Allibond of Magd. Coll, was created the same day, Oct. 17.—This worthy Doctor, who was a Buckinghamshire man born, and lately the chief Master of the Free-school joyning to Magd. Coll, was a most excellent Lat. Poet and Philologist, and hath published, Rustica Academia Oxoniensis nuper reformatae descriptio: una cum co∣mitiis ibidem, 1648 habitis. 'Tis a Latin Poem, and was twice printed in 1648. He died at Bradwell in Glocestershire, (of which place he was Rector) an. 1658.

Joh. Hewit of Cambridge, was actually created also the same day.—This is the person who was Minister of S. Gregories Church near S. Pauls in London, and who suffer'd death by the axe on Tower-hill 8 June 1658, for conspiring against the then Power and Authority. He hath extant several Sermons, among which are Nine select Ser∣mons preached at S. Gregories. Lond. 1658. oct; as also A Speech and two Prayers on the Scaffold, when he was to be beheaded—Lond. 1658. qu. and A letter to Dr. George Wild, written the day before his Execution; printed with his Speech and Prayers.

Oct. 19. Rob. Hall of Exeter Coll.—This worthy person, who was the eldest son of Dr. Joseph Hall Bishop of Exeter, was now Canon residentiary and Treasurer of the Cath. Ch. there, suffered for his Majesties Cause, lost all, but restored upon his Majesties return. He was a learned man, a constant Preacher, very hospita∣ble and pious. He died on the 29 of May 1667, aged 61 years, and was buried in the north side of the Choire of the said Cath. Ch. at Exeter.

Nov. 16. Walt. Hungerford of Alls. Coll.—He was afterwards Preb. of Wells and Rector of Buscot in Berks, where dying 18 Nov. 1681, was buried in the Church there.

Feb. 22. George Edgeley of Cambridge.—In the Letters of the Chancellour of the University, written in his behalf and read in Convocation, I find these things of him.

He is Prebend of Chi∣chester and Rector of Nuthurst, a grave and orthodox Divine.—He is a person that hath expressed his Loyalty by his active servi∣ces and passive sufferings in these times of hostility for the defence of his Majesties Person, Religion and the Laws.—He is so de∣serving this honour (D. of D.) that he is beyond all manner of exception.

—He is a Senior of the University of Cambr. &c.

In the same Congregation wherein Dr. Edgeley was created, were Letters from the Chanc. read in behalf of Tho. Edwards formerly of this University, now Vicar of Keinton in Hertfordshire, to be Do∣ctor of Divinity, but whether he was admitted it appears not.

On the 29 of Dec. also, were letters read in behalf of Joh. Bury Bach. of Div. and Can. resid. of Exeter, to be created Doctor of the said faculty; who being then absent in the Kings Service, was to have the said degree confer'd on him when he should desire it.

Bayly, I have made mention of him in the first vol. p. 486. 487; but as for Isaac Barrow, who, as 'tis said, was also incorporated this year, appears not in the Register as incorporated Master of Arts, or created Bach. of Div, otherwise I should have made a Chapter or Number of him among the Bishops, as I have done of Pet. Gunning among the Writers, who was incorporated and took a degree here.

Creations.

This year were no Creations in Arts, only of one in Musick: The rest were in the three great faculties, and of them only Do∣ctors.

Doct. of Musick.

Mar. 10. John Wilson now the most noted Musitian of England, omnibus titulis & honoribus Academicis in professione Musicae par, & in Theoria & praxi Musicae maxime peritus (as it is said in the publick Register of Convocation) was then presented and actually created Doctor of Musick.—This eminent person who was much admi∣red by all that understood that faculty, especially by his Maj. K. Ch. 1, an exact judge therein, was born at Feversham in Kent, and being naturally inclin'd in his youth to vocal and instrumental Mu∣sick, became at mans estate so famous for it, that he was first made a Gent. of his Maj. Chappel, and afterwards his Servant in ordi∣nary in that faculty. So that ever after giving his Majesty con∣stant attendance, had oftentimes just opportunities to exercise his hand on the Lute (being the best at it in all England) before him to his great delight and wonder; who, while he played, did usu∣ally lean or lay his hand on his shoulder. After the surrender of the Garrison at Oxon, an. 1646, he spent some years in the family of Sir Will. Walter of Sarsden in the Parish of Churchill in Oxfordshire, who, with his Lady, were great lovers of Musick. At length, upon the desire of Mr. Tho. Barlow of Qu. Coll. (then Lecturer at Churchill) made to his quondam Pupil Dr. Joh. Owen Vicechancellour of this University, he was constituted Musick Professor thereof, an. 1656; which, with other helps from some Royalists in these parts (he having then a Lodging in Ball. Coll.) found a comfortable subsi∣stance. Upon the return of K. Ch. 2. to his Dominions, he was restored to his places belonging to his Majesty, and was made one of the Choire at Westminster: All which he kept to his dying day. He hath published (1) Psalterium Carolinum. The devotions of his sacred Majesty in his solitudes and sufferings, rendred into verse, se•• for three Voices, and an Organ or Theorbo. Printed about 1656 in fol. (2) Cheerful Ayres or Ballads, first composed for one single Voice, and since set for three Voices. Oxon. 1660. qu. in 3 vol: then usher'd in∣to the world by certain Poets of this University. (3) Ayres for a Voice alone to a Theorbo or Bass-Viol, &c. These are in a book intit. Select Ayres and Dialogues. Lond. 1653. &c. fol. In which book are, besides Dr. Wilson's labours, the compositions of several Ma∣sters of Musick, viz. of Dr. Charles Colman, Henry and Will. Lawes, Will. Webb, Nich. Laniere or Laneare an Italian, one of the private Musick to K. Ch. 1, and an excellent Painter, (who died about the beginning of the rebellion;) Will. Smegergill alias Caesar, Edward Colman and Jeremy Savile. (4) Divine Services and Anthems, the words of one of which are extant in James Clifford's Collection of Divine Services and Anthems, &c. Lond. 1663. oct. p. 235. But above all things that our Author Wilson hath published, is highly valued by curious men, a Manuscript of his framing, containing Compositions, partly to be play'd on the Lute, but chiefly on a Treble or Bass, set to several Odes in the first book, and in others, of Horace, on some part of Ausonius, Claudian, Petronius Arbiters Fragment, Statius, &c. This book which is in folio, bound in Russia leather, with silver clasps, he gave to the publick Library at Oxon before his Majesties restauration, but with this condition,

that no person should peruse it till after his death. 'Tis in the Ar∣chives of the said Library, numb. 102, and hath, several copies of verses put before it, or in the beginning, made in praise of the author and the book: One of the copies being made by that ex∣cellent Latin Poet Hen. Birkhead of Alls. Coll, was afterwards re∣mitted into his book intit. Poematia, &c. Oxon. 1656. p. 122.123. This Dr. Wilson, who was a great Humourist and a pretender to Buffoonry, died in his house at the Horse Ferry within the Liberty of Westminster on the 22 day of Febr. 1673, aged 78 years, ten months and 17 days: whereupon his body was buried in the little cloyster belonging to the Abbey Church of S. Peter within the said City of Westm. He did often use to say for the honour of his Country of Kent, that Alphonso Farabosco was born of Italian Pa∣rents at Greenwich, and Joh Jenk••ns at Maidstone; both highly va∣lued and admired not only in England but beyond the Seas for their excellent compositions in Musick, especially for Fancies. The last was living 10 years or more after the restauration of K. Ch. 2, but we have not yet his picture in the Musick School, as that of Dr. Wilson hanging near to that of Nich. Laniere before mention'd.

Doct. of Law.

Apr. 6. Will. Pleydell Esq.—He was a Burgess for Wotton Basset in Wilts. to serve in that Parliam. which began at Westminster 3 Nov. 1640, but leaving it afterwards, retired to Oxon, and sate there.

.... Lloyd was created the same day and admitted into the house of Congreg. and Convocation.—His christian name I cannot yet learn, or in what Coll. or Hall in this University, or in that of Cambridge, educated.

May 1. George Boncle or Bonkley of Greenwich in Kent Esq.—On the 30 of Jan. following he received the honour of Knighthood, be∣ing about that time Deputy-Governour of the Garrison of Oxon; but afterwards being taken by the Forces belonging to the Parlia∣ment, he was committed Prisoner to Lambeth house, where he short∣ly after expired. He had before obtained great fame for his va∣lour and activity in the relief of Basing house in Hampshire.

June 10. Sir Thom. Blackwell of Mansfield Woodhouse in Notting∣hamshire Kt.—He had lately at his own charge raised many men and arms for his Majesties service, and had fought most valiantly in divers battels for him. He afterwards suffer'd much for the royal Cause and compounded for his Estate.

June 12. Henr. Bate.—He was admitted and actually created Doct. of the Civ. Law by vertue of the Letters of the Chancellour of the University, and of those of the Marquess of Newcastle, which say that he had paid his fees already by the large contribution he hath given to his Majesty in his service, and losses sustained by the Re∣bels, &c.

Jul. 10. Sir Robert Fenne Kt.

Nov. 4. Rob. Cary M. A. lately of C. C. Coll. in this University.—He was Kinsman to the Marquess of Hertford Chancellour thereof.

This year was actually created Doct. of the Civ. Law Sir James Ware of Ireland Kt, as his son hath by his letters informed me, but the day or month he cannot tell; neither doth it appear in the acts of the publick Register, this, or in the, year following, because o∣mitted, as it seems, among many that were actually created in se∣veral degrees from the 1 of Nov. 1642 till the surrender of Oxon, 1646.—This worthy person Sir Jam. Ware, who, by his pen, hath done admirable service for the credit of the Irish Nation, I desire the Reader by the way (if not too tedious) to take these obser∣vations of him following. He was born in Castle-street within the City of Dublin, about two of the clock in the morn. of the 26 of Novemb. an. 1594. His father was Sir Jam. Ware Kt, sometimes Secretary to two of the Lords Justices or Deputies of Ireland, and afterwards Auditor General of that Kingdom; who finding his said son to make early advances towards learning, spared neither cost or labour to encourage him therein. At 16 years of age he caused him to be entred a Student in Trinity Coll. at Dublin, where ma∣king great proficiency in his studies, was in less than six years made Master of Arts. In 1629 or thereabouts, he received the honour of Knighthood from Adam Lord Viscount Ely and Rich. Boyle Earl of Cork, they both being at that time Lords Justices of Ireland, and in 1632 he became, upon the death of his father, Auditor General of Ireland: Notwithstanding which place of trouble, as well as of profit, and the cumbrances of marriage, he wrot and published se∣veral books, the titles of which I shall anon set down. In 1639 he was made one of the Kings Privy Council in Ireland, and when the Rebellion broke out there, he suffered much in his Estate. In 1644, he with the Lord Edward Brabason (afterwards Earl of Meath,) and Sir Hen. Tichbourne Kt, were sent by James Marquess of Ormonde, then Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, to K. Ch. 1. at Oxon, about the affairs of that Kingdom. Which being concluded to their minds, they returned; but in their way, they were taken on the seas by a Parliament Ship, just after Sir James had flung over board the Kings packet of Letters directed to Ormonde: Whereup∣on being all conveyed to London, were committed Prisoners to the Tower, where continuing eleven months, were then released upon exchange. Afterwards Sir James returned to Dublin, continued there for some time, and was one of the hostages for the delivery of that City to Coll. Mich. Jones for the use of the Parliament of En∣gland. Afterwards the said Colonel, thinking it not convenient for several reasons, that he should remain there, commanded him to depart; so that by vertue of his pass he went into France, where he continued an year and an half, mostly at Caen and partly at Paris. In 1651 he left that Country, went into England, and setling in

London, wrot several books, and published one or more there. Up∣on the restauration of K. Ch. 2, he went into Ireland, and by spe∣cial order was restored to his place of Auditor General, and conti∣nued a privy Counsellor there. His works are these (1) Archi∣episcoporum Casseliensium & Tuamensium vitae, duobus expressae com∣mentariolis. Dubl. 1626. qu. This book was afterwards involved in his De praesulibus Hiberniae commentarius. (2) Caenobia Cisterci∣ensia Hiberniae. Included afterwards in his Disquisitiones de Hiber∣nia, &c. (3) De praesulibus Lageniae, sive provinciae Dubliniensis lib. unus. Dubl. 1628. qu. Included also in his Comment. de praesu∣libus Hib. (4) De scriptoribus Hiberniae libri duo. Dubl. 1639. qu. A great part of which is taken out of the book of Joh. Bale intit. De script. maj. Britan. and from Rich. Stanyhurst his book intit. The Description of Ireland. (5) De Hibernia & Antiquitatibus ejus dis∣quisitiones. Lond. 1654 and 1658. in a thick oct. (6) De praesu∣libus Hiberniae commentarius, à prima gentis Hibernicae ad fidem Chri∣stianam conversione ad nostra usque tempora. Dubl. 1665. fol. (7) Note ad Bedae epist. Apologeticam. Dubl. 1664. oct. (8) Notae ad Historiam Abbatum Weremuthensium & Girwicensium per Bedam composit. Dubl. 1664. oct. (9) Notae ad Bede Epistolam ad Egber∣tum. Ib. eod. an. oct. (10) Notae ad Egberti dialogum, de institu∣tione ecclesiastica. Ib. eod. an. oct. (11) Notae ad rem Historicam & Antiquariam spectantes ad opuseula, S. Patricio, qui Hibernos ad fidem Christi convertit, adscripta, &c. Lond. 1656. oct. He also wrot and published Rerum Hibernicarum Henrico 7 regnante Annales. Pr. at the end of his Disquisit. de Hibernia, and De praesul. Hib. comment. Also Rerum Hib. Hen. 8. Ed. 6. & Maria regnantibus Annales, (which are at the end of the said book De praesul.) besides the publication of Campians Hist. of Ireland, the Chronicle of Mered. Hanmer, that of Hen. Marleburrough, and The view of Ireland, by Edm. Spenser. At length Sir James having lived beyond the age of man, and by his endeavours had gotten a fair estate, departed this mortal life at Dublin on Saturday Decemb. the first, an. 1666, and was buried on Tuesday following in a burying place appointed for his Family within the Church of S. Warborough in the said City. He had a choice Collection of antient MSS, (many of which related to Ir••sh affairs) procured from many persons as well in Engl. as Irel, a ca∣talogue of which was printed at Dublin an. 1648. in •• sh. and an half in qu. All or most of which MSS. came into the hands of Hen. Earl of Clarendon, when he was Lord Lieutenant of Irel. an. 1686, who soon after brought them with him into Engl. and deposited them in the custody of Dr. Tho. Tenison Vicar of S. Martins Church in the Fields, in Westm; a Catalogue of which is lately made ex∣tant by Edm. Gibson B. A. of Qu. Coll. in Ox.

This year also, about the beginning thereof, as it seems, was a proposal made by vertue of a letter sent to the Vicechancellour, that Rich. Fanshaw Esq. Servant to Prince Charles, should have the degr. of Doctor of the Civil Law confer'd upon him; but whether he was presented thereunto, tho diplomated he might be, it appears not in the publick Register. Howsoever it is, sure I am that certain Masters now living in the University, did many years after report that he had that degree confer'd on him here, yet whether perso∣nally presented thereunto, they could not positively affirm.—This right worthy and loyal person Richard Fanshaw (originally of the University of Cambr.) was descended of the family of Fanshaw of Fanshaw gate in Derbyshire, being the (*) 1.19 great Grandchild of John Fanshaw of that place, brother of Henry Fanshaw, and father of Tho. Fanshaw Esquires, who were successively Remembrancers of the Exchequer to Qu. Elizabeth: Which Thomas was father to Sir Hen. Fanshaw Kt, (who died of an Apoplexy at the Assizes in Hertford 10 Mar. 1615.) father of Thomas sometimes Lord Viscount Fanshaw of Dromore in Ireland▪ father of him who is now, or at least was lately, L. Visc. Fanshaw: Which three last, have also been Re∣membrancers of the Exchecquer to K. Jam. 1. K. Ch. 1. and 2. The said Rich. Fanshaw (brother to Lord Thomas) of whom we are far∣ther to speak, was, for his early abilities taken into the Employ∣ment of the State by K. Ch. 1. an. 1635, and then sent Resident to the Court of Spain: Whence being recall'd in the beginning of the Troubles (1640/1) into Engl. he followed the royal interest during all the calamitous times that followed, and was employed in several weighty matters of State. In 1644 he was appointed Secretary at War to Charles Prince of Wales, (afterwards King) whom he at∣tended into the Western parts of Engl, and thence into the Isles of Scilly (†) 1.20 and Guernsey. In 1648 he was appointed Treasurer of the Navy under the command of Prince Rupert, which he managed till the year 1650, when then he was prefer'd by his Majesty to the dignity of a Baronet, and sent Envoy extraordinary to the Crown of Spain; and being thence recalled into Scotland, he there served in the quality of Secretary of State: Which weighty and difficult Employment he performed in that conjuncture with great satisfacti∣on of all parties, notwithstanding he never took Covenant or En∣gagement. Thence he attended his Maj. at Worcester, was at the battel there (1651) taken Prisoner, and conveyed to Lond. by the Rebels; where continuing in close custody till he contracted a great sickness, had liberty allow'd him, upon Bayle given, for the reco∣very of his health to go to any place he should choose, provided he stirred not five miles from the place without leave from the Par∣liament. During which time and other vacant hours he made seve∣ral Translations and wrot divers Poems, as I shall tell you by and by. In Feb. 1659 he repaired to his Maj. K. Ch. 2. at Breda, who there knighted him in Apr. 1660, and made him his Secretary of the Latin Tongue (in which he did excell) and Master of the Requests. In 1661 he being then Burgess for the University of Cambridge,

he was sworn one of the privy Council of Ireland, and sent Envoy to the Crown of Portugal, with a dormant Commission to be Em∣bassador, which he was to make use of as occasion should require. In 1662 he was again sent to that Crown with the title of Embas∣sador; and at his return thence in 1663 he was sworn one of his Majesties privy Council and took his place accordingly, and in Ja∣nuary the same year he was sent Embassador to both the Crowns of Spain and Portugal: in which time the foundation of Peace be∣twixt those Crowns and England was laid by him. His deport∣ment during his former Employments in those Courts won him such high value and estimation with the Princes, that his reception was most splendid and magnificent, exceeding all that were be∣fore: which those Kings declared was done as a particular respect to the person of the Embassador, and was not to be a precedent for succeeding Embassadors. He hath written (1) Divers Poems. Lond. 1664. oct, Printed with his Translation of Il pastor fido. The first of the said Poems is An ode upon occasion of his Majesties proclamation, an. 1630, commanding the Gentry to reside upon their Estates in the Country. (2) A summary discourse of the Civil Wars of Rome. Lond. 1664. oct. extracted out of the best Lat. Writers in prose and verse. He hath translated from English into Lat. verse The faithful Shepherdess: a Pastoral. Lond. 1658. written originally by Joh. Fletcher Gent, and from Lat. into En∣glish (1) The fourth book of Virgils Aeneis on the Loves of Dido and Aeneas. Lond. 1664. oct. (2) Two odes out of Horace relating to the Civil Wars of Rome, against covetous rich men. Ibid. 1664. oct. He hath translated from Italian into English,—Il pastor fido: The faithful Shepherd, a Pastoral. Lond. 1646. qu. 1664. oct. Written originally by Guarini, a Native of Ferrara in Italy: And from Spa∣nish into English an Historical Poem called—Querer per solo que∣rer: To love only for Loves sake. Lond. 1671. qu. 'Tis a drama∣tick Romance, was originally written by Anton. de Mendoza and translated and paraphrased by our author at Tankerley Park in York∣shire, 1654, when then he had obtained leave from the superior power to range beyond 5 miles within Lond. To this is joyned a∣nother Translation by the same hand intit.—Fiestus de Aranjuez. Festivals represented at Aranjuez. He also translated from Portu∣guese into English, The Luciad: or Portugals historical Poem. Lond. 1655. 56. &c. fol. Written originally by Lewis de Camoens. Besides these Translations, he hath performed others as I have been enfor∣med, which continue partly in MS, and hath written other Poems as well Lat. as English, which for brevity sake I shall now pass by the mentioning. At length this worthy person being overtaken with a violent Feaver at Madrid in Spain on the fourth of June 1666, during the time of his being there Embassador, died thereof on the 16 of the same month, old stile, aged 59 years: Whereup∣on his body being embalmed, was (after his funeral had been so∣lemnized there, 25, of the said month) conveyed by his disconso∣late Lady, with all his Children then living, by land thro France to Calais, whence it was transported to England, and landed near Tower-hill at London. Thence it was removed to Lincolns Inn fields, to the Pine Apples, which was then his Ladies hired house. The next day the corps was carried to Allhallowes Church in Hert∣ford, and there deposited in the Vault of his father in law Sir John Harrison, until the 18 of May 1671; on which day it was remo∣ved into the Parish Church of Ware in the said County, and there laid in a new Vault made and purchased on purpose for him and his family, together with a fair Monument erected for him and his Lady, near the old Vault where all his Ancestors of Ware Park lye interred.

Doct. of Phys.

May 1. Sir Arth. Aston Kt, Governour of the Garrison of Oxford, was created Doctor of Phys. with great solemnity, and admitted by the Vicechancellour with this clause, Honoratiss. Domine tu dabis fidem ad observand. statuta, libertates & consuetudines hujus Ʋniver∣sitatis.—This person, who was of an antient and knightly family in Lancashire, was a great Traveller, had spent most of his time in Wars in several Countries beyond the Seas: Whence coming in the beginning of the grand Rebellion, into Engl, with as many Soldiers of note that he could bring with him, joyned himself and them to his Majesties Forces, commanded the Dragoons at Edghill fight, and with them did excellent service. Afterwards, his Majesty ha∣ving a great opinion of his valour and conduct, made him Gover∣nour of the Garrison of Reading in Berkshire, where he beat the Earl of Essex, General of the Parl. Forces, thrice from that place, till having received a dangerous Wound he was forced, as 'tis said, to devolve his Command upon Col. Rich. Feilding, called Lord Feild∣ing, of the family of those of his name at Newenham Padox in War∣wickshire, who afterwards surrendring that Garrison to the use of the Parliament upon quick and easie terms, suffered much in his reputation for so doing, yet recovered it afterwards in the battels at Newbury and Naseby. As for Aston who was lately made Gover∣nour of the Garrison of Oxford and afterwards expressed himself ve∣ry cruel and imperious while he executed that office, broke his leg by a fall from his horse on Bullington Green near Oxon on the 19 of Sept. this year, and on the 25 of Dec. following being discharg'd of his office, to the great rejoycing of the Soldiers and others in Oxon, Colonel Will. Legge was placed in his room, and in his Sir Tho. Glemham 8 Oct. 1645, who kept the said Garrison till it was surren∣dred to the Parliament. Sir A. Aston had, at that time, his broken leg cut off to save his life, and in its place had one of Wood put: So that being recovered and in a posture to do his Majesty farther service, he went with the flower of the English Veterans into Ireland, where he became Governour of Drogheda commonly called Tredagh, about which time he laid an excellent plot to tire and break the

English Army. But at length the said Garrison being overpower'd and soon after taken by Ol. Cromwell and his Forces, in September 1649, all the Defendants were put to the sword, and Aston the Governour (a zealous R. Catholick) was hewen in pieces, and his brains beat out of his head with his wooden leg. He then left be∣hind him a daughter named Elizabeth Thompson alias Aston.

• May 1. Rob. Croke
• May 1. Lister Blount

The first of these two, was of the family of the Crokes of Chil∣ton in Bucks, was a Burgess for Wendover in the same County to serve in the Parl. began at Westm. 3 Nov. 1640, but leaving it, he retired to Oxon, and sate in the Parl. there. One Rob. Croke was knighted by his Maj. at Whitehall 9 Aug. 1641, but whether the same with the former (who is not stiled Kt. in the Register) I can∣not tell.

Jul. 10. Joh. Castle Esq.—He was father to George Castle men∣tion'd among the Writers, an 1673. p. 381.

Apr. 2. James Dugdale Chaplain to the Marquess of Hertford.—He had been forced for his Loyalty out of Somersetshire, where he was Vicar of Evercreech and Rector of Shepton Beauchamp, did suf∣fer also afterwards for his Majesties Cause; but upon the return of K. Ch. 2. he was restored to what he had-lost, and was made, as I have been informed, Canon of Wells. He died about the begin∣ning of the year 1661.

Jun. 10. Tho. Bunbury of Ball. Coll.—He had succeeded Dr. Joh. Denison in the Vicaridge of S. Maries Church in Reading, but being put out thence by the Presbyterians, when that Town came into their possession, he fled to Oxon for protection.

Dec. 12. Thom. Stephenson of Qu. Coll. in this Univ.—He was then created because his Majesty had present and special occasion to employ him in places more remote about certain weighty affairs.

• ... Joh. Michel of Ball. Coll. Apr. 16.

In defect of a statutable Master of Corp. Ch. Coll. (whose turn it was this year to elect a Proctor) because that the generality of the Society were now absent, the Election fell to the Halls, who ele∣cted Whear before mention'd, son of Degorie Whear Princ. of Gloc. Hall.

Bach. of Arts.

• Jul. 9. Thom. Marshall of Linc. Coll.

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

☞ Not one Doctor of Law, Phys, or Div, was admitted or li∣censed this year, only incorporated and created.

Incorporations.

Several persons who were lately forced to leave the University of Cambridge for their Loyal••y, and others, who had formerly been

of that University, their respective Cures and Dignities, retired to Oxon to avoid the Cruelties and Barbarities of the Presbyterians, and were this year either incorporated or created. Those that were incorporated are these following.

• Aug. 12. .... Edshaw M. A. of Cambr.
• Aug. 12. .... Sharpington M. A. of Cambr.
• Aug. 12. .... Pindar Bach. of Div. of Cambr.

Aug. 12. Tho. Fuller D. of D▪ of Cambr. now Bishop of Ardfert in Ireland.—In the year 1600 he was made Archb. of Cashells in the said Kingdom. He hath one or more Sermons extant.

Will. Fuller D. of D. of the same Univ. and Dean of Ely was in∣corporated the same day.—This worthy person who had, as it seems, succeeded Dr. Hen. Caesar in the said Deanery, an. 1636, (or else afterwards Dr. Rich. Love) was about the middle of March this year (1645) made Dean of Durham on the death of Dr. Christop. Potter, and without doubt would have risen higher had it not been for the iniquity of the times. He was the son of Andrew Fuller of Hadleigh in Suffolk, at which place he was born, was educated in all kind of Learning in Cambridge, and afterwards became famous for it, his prudence and piety. He was also a good Linguist and an excellent Preacher, preached several times before his Majesty (to whom he was Chaplain in ord. as he had been to K. Jam.) while he was in Oxon this year, to his great approbation. In the begin∣ning of the Rebellion, 1642, he was sequestred from his Church of S. Giles near Cripplegate, London, plundered, imprison'd, and spoil∣ed of all for his Loyalty to his Prince by the impetuous and restless Presbyterians. After Oxford was surrendred, he retired to London, and lived there obscurely till the time of his death, which hapning on Holy Thursday (May 12.) 1659, aged 79 years, was denied rest in his sometimes Church of S. Giles before mention'd: Whereupon his body being conveyed to S. Vedastus in Foster lane, was there bu∣ried at the upper end of the south isle. Soon after was a comely Monument put over his grave by his daugh. the wife of Dr. Brian Walton, and upon his Majesties restauration his Deanery of Ely was confer'd on Dr. Hen. Ferne. Under this Doctor Fuller's name goes a Sermon intit. The mourning of Mount Libanon. Printed 1628, and perhaps other things.

Aug. 12. Lodowick Wemmys or Weems D. D. of Cambr. and Pre∣bendary of the fourth stall in the collegiate Church at Westm, in the place of Dr. Joh. Holt, was then incorporated.

Thom. Wilson D. of D. of the said University, was incorporated the same day.—He was originally of Merton Coll, and was Bach. of Div. of this University an. 1621, at which time he was Preb. of S. Pauls Cath. Ch. in London and had been Sub-Almoner under Bi∣shop Mountague. In 1625 Jan. 10. he was installed Preb. of West∣minster in the place of Dr. Hen. Caesar resigning; and about the same time was made D. of D. of Cambridge. In 1640 he occurs Arch. of Westminster, but he is not to be taken to be the same with Tho. Wilson beneficed at Stratford upon Avon in Warwickshire, be∣cause he died in 1638.

Thom. Some or Soame D. D. was incorporated also the same day. (Aug. 12.) as he before had stood at Cambridge.—He had been Fellow of Peter House, was now Canon of Windsore, Preb. of S. Pauls in London, Vicar of Stanes in Middlesex, and, if I mistake not, Rector of Haseley near to, and in the County of Oxon; in which last Benefice he was succeeded by Dr. Edw. Corbet of Mert. Coll. This Dr. Some who hath one or more Sermons extant, died at Stanes, as it seems, in the beginning of the year 1649, leaving a son then behind him called Henry.

Will. Beale D. D. sometimes of Pemb. Hall, afterwards Master of S. Johns Coll. in Cambridge, now one of his Majesties Chaplains, was incorporated the same day.—This most worthy person who had been much favoured by Dr. Laud Archb. of Canterbury, and by him promoted, and therefore esteemed an Arminian and popishly affe∣cted by the inveterate Puritans, did suffer much in the beginning of the Rebellion raised by them, as first for his having a hand in gather∣ing and conveying the plate belonging to the University of Cambr. to his Majesty, he was violently hurried thence Prisoner to London, suffered great indignities from the Rabble in his way thro that City to the Tower, where continuing some years was at length exchanged. Secondly by being plunder'd and thrown out of his Headship of S. John's Coll. before mentioned, for the same reason, and for denying their wicked Covenant, and lastly sequestred of all other his Spiritualities. After his Exchange, he fled to Oxon the common Asylum of afflicted Royalists, where he exercised his fun∣ction, sometimes before his Majesty, and at other times before the remnant or the royal Court there remaining. After the Kings Cause declined he went beyond the Seas, where he died heart-bro∣ken in 1651. or thereabouts.

David Stokes D. D. of the said Univ. was incorporated the same day.—This most loyal Doctor was educated in the College School at Westminster and thence elected into Trin. Coll. in the same Uni∣versity an. 1610; afterwards he was Fellow of Peter House, Fel∣low of Eaton Coll, Canon of Windsore, and Rector of Binfield in Berks: All which preferments he losing in the time of the Rebel∣lion, was put to his shifts as other Royalists were, retired to Oxon for refuge, and there exercised his function for a time as others did. After his Majesties return, he was restored to what he had lost, lived several years in great quiet and repose with much content to himself, and died 10 of May 1669. He hath written and pub∣lished (1) An explication of the twelve minor Prophets, Hosea, Joel, &c. wherein the difficult places are unfolded, the seeming contradicti∣ons are reconciled, according to the best Commentators now extant, &c. Lond. 1659. oct. (2) Verus Christianus. Or directions for private devotions and retirements, with an Appendix, containing some private Devotions of Bishop Andrews never before extant. Oxon 1668, in tw.

(3) Several sermons, which I have not yet seen, nor his Truths champion, &c. pr. in oct.

George Bardsey D. D. of Qu. Coll. in the said Univers. was also then (Aug. 12.) incorporated.—He died in Oxon, in January 1645, and was buried on the twentieth day of the same month in that chancel commonly called The College chancel in S. Michaels Church joyning to the north gate of the said City.

• Aug. 12. .... Peake D. D. of Cambr.
• Aug. 12. .... Andrews D. D. of Cambr.

The christian name of the first of these I cannot yet recover, and therefore I can say nothing of him. The other I take to be Nich. Andrews, whom I have mention'd among the Incorporations in the first vol. an. 1626. p. 853.

Aug. 12. Brian Walton D. of D. of the same University was also then incorporated▪—This most learned and loyal Doctor was born in Cleavland in the North Riding of Yorkshire; an. 1600, admitted first in Magd. Coll. under Mr. Joh. Gooch as a Sizer or Servitour, and thence removing to Peter House under one Mr. Blake, 4 Dec. 1616; took the degree of M. of A. as a member thereof, an. 1623. About that time, or before, he taught school in Suffolk, and served as a Curate there. Thence he removed to London and lived for a lit∣tle time under the rev. and learned Divine Mr. Rich Stock Rector of Allhallows Breadstreet in London. After his death he became Rector of S. Martins Orgar in the said City, and of Sandon in Essex, at both which places he was highly valued by the orthodox party for his Learning and Religion. In 1639 he commenced D. of D, at which time he was Preb. of S. Pauls Cathedral, Chaplain to his Ma∣jesty, and a person of great esteem, especially for his skill in the Common Laws of this Realm, so far, I mean, as they related to the patrimony and liberties of the Church, as it appears by a little book written by him in defence of the Tithes within the City of London, according to the proportion of two shillings and nine pence the pound rent. Upon the breaking out of the diabolical Rebellion, he was assaulted by the faction, abused, sequestred and forced to fly: Whereupon retiring to Oxford, he did there lay the ground of a most noble design, which afterwards he did live to accomplish. For upon the declining of his Majesties Cause, he returned to Lon∣don, and residing with his father in law Dr. Will. Fuller, then a great sufferer for the royal cause, as he was, he had time and leisure at command, as being debar'd the exercising of his ministerial functi∣on, (tho often disturb'd for his loyalty) of proceeding in the work, with the advice of the most learned and religious Dr. Ʋsher Pri∣mate of Ireland, his said father in law, Dr. Bruno Ryves, and some others residing in London, yet not without the leave and license of Dr. Juxon Bishop of that City. I say that this most worthy per∣son Dr. B. Walton being most eminent for his learning, especially in the holy Scriptures and Eastern Languages, did undertake and happily perform the publishing of the Biblia Polyglotta, printed at Lond. in six volumes in folio, an. 1657, wherein the sacred Text was, by his singular care and oversight, printed, not only in the vulgar Latine, but also in the Hebrew, Syriake, Chaldea, Sama∣ritan, Arabick, Aethiopick, Persick and Greek Languages, each having its peculiar Latin translation joyned therewith; and an Ap∣paratus fitted for each, for the better understanding of those tongues. In this great Work, tho he met with infinite disturbances and discouragements, by reason of the times, wherein the Usurping Powers ruled, and a multitude of other difficulties, yet he most hap∣pily accomplished it in about four years space: which, when published, was by the generality of Scholars esteemed the most ab∣solute and famous edition of the Bible that the Christian World had, or is like to enjoy. In this most noble work, so far as concerned the correcting of it while at the Press, and in collating of Exem∣plars, he had the assistance of several learned persons, of whom Edm. Castle or Castell Bach. of Div. was the chiefest, Vir in quo eru∣ditio summa magnaque animi modestia convenere, &c. as he doth characterize him; yet if you'll believe that learned person, who was afterwards Doctor of Div, Arabick Professor of Cambridge and Preb. of Canterbury, he'll tell you in his Preface to his Lexic••n He∣ptaglotton, printed in Lond. 1669, that he had more than an ordi∣nary hand in that Work, as indeed he had, and therefore deserved more matter to be said of him than in the said Pref. to Bib. Polyglot. is. The other persons were Alex. Huish of Wadh. Coll. Sam. Clarke (Clericus) of Mert. Coll. (of both whom I have spoken already) and Thom. Hyde, since of Qu. Coll. in this University. He had also some assistance from Dr. D. Stokes, Abr. Wheelock, Herb, Thorndyke, Edw. Pocock, Tho Greaves, Dudly Loftus, &c. men most learned in their time. Towards the printing also of the said great and elaborate work, he had the contribution of moneys from many noble persons and Gentlemen of quality, which were put into the hands of Sir Will. Humble Treasurer for the said Work, as Charles Lod••wick Prince Elector, William Marq. of Hertford, Will. Earl of Strafford, Will. E. of Bedford, Will. Lord Petre, Will. L. Maynard, Arth. L. Ca∣pell, John Ashburnham of his Maj. Bedchamber, Sir Rob. Sherley Bt, Will. Lenthall Mast. of the Rolls, Joh. Selden of the Inner Temple Esq, Joh. Sadler of Linc. Inn Esq. Joh. Hele Esq. Tho. Wendy Esq. after∣wards Kr. of the Bath, and others, as Mountague Earl of Lindsey L. Chamb. of England, George E. of Rutland, Mildmay E. of West∣morland, John E. of Exeter, Tho. L. Fairfax, Bapt. L. Noel Visc. Cam∣den, Sir Will. Courtney, Sir Anth. Chester and Sir Will. Farmer Ba∣ronets, Sir Franc. Burdet Kt. and Joh. Wall D. D. Canon of Ch. Ch. in Oxon. After his Majesties restauration the Author Dr. Walton presented his said six vol. of Bib. Polyg. to, which being well recei∣ved by, him, he not only made him his Chaplain in ordinary, but for his great Vertues, Learning, Loyalty, Sufferings, and indefa∣tigable industry for the public benefit of Learning, did advance him to the See of Chester; to which being consecrated in the Abbey

Church of S. Peter in Westminster on the second day of December an. 1660, sate there (tho a little while) to the time of his death. In Sept. 1661 he, with a good retinue, went to take possession of his See, and when he came to Lichfield, many persons of very good worth, who had ridden from Chester to that City, which is 50 miles, did meet and congratulate him there, and very many others in his way thence to Chester. On the tenth day of the said month all the Gentry almost of the whole County of Chester, and the Militia both of Country and City, went out to meet him, and the day following the spiritual Militia (the true Sons of the Church of England) went to their reverend Diocesan upon the road. All which, and others, having brought him to his Pallace with the loud acclamations of thousands of people, blessing God for so happy a sight, he forthwith put on his Episcopal robes and hasted to the performance of his devotions in the Choire. When he entred the body of the Cathedral Church, Dr. Hen. Bridgman the Dean and all the members of the Cathedral, habited in their Albes, re∣ceived a blessing from his Lordship, sung Te Deum, and so com∣passing the Choir in manner of procession, conveyed him to his chair: This was on the eleventh of the said month of Sept. a day not to be forgotten by all the true Sons of the Church of England, tho curs'd then in private, by the most rascally faction and crop∣ear'd whelps of those parts, who did their endeavours to make it a maygame and a piece of foppery. After his Lordship had made some continuance there and was highly caress'd and entertained by noble and generous spirits, he return'd to London, fell sick, and died in his house in Aldersgate-street, on the 29 of Nov. an. 1661 to the great reluctancy of all learned and loyal persons. On the 5 of Dec. following he was buried in the south side of the Cathedral Church of S. Paul, (of which he was Prebend) opposite to the monument of Sir Christopher Hatton sometimes Lord Chancellour of England, being then attended to his grave by three Heralds of Armes in their formalities. Soon after was a noble monument put over his grave, with a large inscription thereon running thus. Manet. heic novissi∣mam, &c.

Here awaiteth the sound of the last trump Brian Wal∣ton Lord Bishop of Chester. Reader, look for no farther epitaph on him, whose very name was epitaph enough. Nevertheless, if thou lookest for a larger, and louder one, consult the vocal oracles of his fame, and not of this dumb marble. For let me inform thee (if it be not a shame to be ignorant) this was he that with the first brought succour and assistance to the true Church, sick and fainting under the sad pressure of persecution. This was he that fairly wiped of those foul and contumelious aspersions cast upon her pure and spotless innocence by those illiterate and Clergy-tram∣pling Schismaticks. This was he that brought more light and lustre to the true reformed Church here establish'd; whilst, maugre the malice of those hellish Machinators, he, with more earnest zeal and indefatigable labour than any, carried on, and promoted the printing of that great Bible in so many Languages. So that the Old and New Testament may well be his monument, which he erected with no small expence of his own. Therefore he little needs the pageantry of pompous titles emblazoned, or displayed in Heralds books, whose name is written in the book of life. He died on S. Andrews Eve, in the 62 year of his age, in the first year of his consecration, and in the year of our Lord God 1661.

(2) The considerator considered: or, a brief view of certain considerations upon the Biblia Polyglotta, the Prolegomena and Appendix thereof, &c. Ibid. 1659 oct. See in Jo. Owen among the Writers under the year 1683. p. 561.

Aug. 12. Richard Dukeson D. of D. of Cambr.—He was Mini∣ster of the Church of S. Clement Danes within the Liberty of West∣minster, of which being sequestred by the violent and restless Pres∣byterians, because of his Orthodox principles, as also plundered of his goods and forced to fly for his own security, retired at length to Oxon, where for a time he exercised his function. After his Maje∣sties return in 1660 he was restored to what he had lost, and lived several years after in a quiet repose.

Aug. 26. William Brough D. of D. of the said University—He had been educated in Christs Coll. there, was afterwards Rector of S. Michaels Ch. in Cornhill, London, Chaplain in ordinary to his Ma∣jesty, and Canon of Windsore, in which Dignity he was installed on the first of Feb. 1638. This person, who had been much favoured by Dr. Laud Archb. of Cant. and therefore esteemed by the Puritans an Arminian, popishly affected and I know not what, was, in the beginning of the rebellion raised by them, sequestred of his Recto∣ry, plundered, his Wife and Children turned out of doors and he himself forced to fly: Whereupon, retiring to Oxon, the common mother and refuge in, those times of afflicted Royallists, he was, in considerations of his sufferings and loyalty, promoted by his Majesty to the Deanery of Glocester, (upon the nomination of Dr. Frewen to the See of Lichfield and Cov.) in Aug. 1643, and was possest of it, as much as then could be, in Apr. following, in which month Dr. Frewen was consecrated. He hath written (1) The holy Feasts and Fasts of the Church, with meditations and prayers proper for Sa∣craments, and other occasions leading to Christian life and death. Lond. 1657. in tw. They are grounded on certain texts of Scripture. (2) Sacred principles, services and soliloquies: or, a manual of devo∣tions made up of three parts. 1. The grounds of the Christian Religion, &c. 2. Dayly and weekly forms of prayer. 3. Seven charges to con∣science, delivering (if not the whole body) the main Limbs of Divini∣ty, &c. Lond. 1659. 1671. &c. in tw. and other things, as it seems. Quaere. After the Kings return, he had restored to him what he had lost, had other preferments given to him, and dying on the fifth day of July, an. 1671 was buried in the Chappel of S. George at Wind∣sore.

In his Deanery succeeded Dr. Thomas Vyner and in his Ca∣nonry Peter Scott LL. D, both of Cambridge.

CREATIONS.

The Creations made this year did partly consist of Military Of∣ficers, and partly of Cantabrigians that had taken Sanctuary at Oxon, most of all which follow.

Bach. of Phys.

Dec. 3. Will Sparke of Magd. Coll.—See more of him among the created Doctors of Physick, an. 1661.

Bach. of Div.

Feb. 21. John Barwick Mast. of Arts of 19 years standing, Priest and late Fellow of S. Johns Coll. in Cambridge, did then supplicate the ven. congregation that he might have the degree of Bach. of Div. confer'd upon him: Which being granted simpliciter, he was without doubt then admitted and created, tho it appears not in the register so to be.—He had been lately turn'd out of his fellowship, being then, I suppose, Chaplain to Dr. Tho. Morton Bishop of Dur∣ham; who, as 'tis said, gave him, about this time, a Prebendship in that Church. After his Majesties return he became Doct. of Div. Chaplain in ordinary to his Majesty, and was in consideration of his great sufferings installed Dean of Durham on the first of Nov. 1660, in the place of Dr. Will. Fuller, who died in the year before going. On the 15 of Oct. 1661, he was elected Dean of S. Pauls Cathe∣dral in Lond, in the place of Dr. Matthew Nicholas deceased: whereupon being installed in that Dignity on the 19 day of the same month, his Deanery of Durham was confer'd on Dr. Joh. Sudbury, and accordingly was installed therein on the 15 of Feb. following. This worthy person Dr. Barwick hath published (1) The fight, vi∣ctory and triumph of S. Paul, accommodated to Thomas (Morton) late Lord Bishop of Duresme, in a Sermon preached, at his funeral in the par. Church of S. Peter at Easton-manduit in Northamptonshire, on Mich. day, on 2. Tim. 4.7.8. Lond 1660. qu. (2) A summary ac∣count of the holy life and death of Thomas late Lord Bishop of Duresme, printed with the said Sermon: which Bishop died at Easton-man∣duit before mention'd on S. Matthews day, an. 1659. aged 95 years. (3) Deceivers deceived: or the mistakes of wickedness; &c. Sermon at S. Pauls Cathedral 20. Oct. 1661, on Prov. 14. part of the 8 ver. Lond. 1661. qu. See more of him in Peter Gunning among the Wri∣ters, an. 1684. p. 577. and in his epitaph following which was set over his grave in the Cathedral Church of S. Paul within the City of London. S. Amori & Aeternitati, &c. in English thus that it might be understood by vulgar capacities—

Sacred to Love, and to gene∣rations to come. Thou that passest by, whosoever thou art, bring hither thine eyes, and understanding also, intuitively both to look and lament. For within this marble Wardrobe are folded up the thin worn weeds of the valuable, substantial, and well accountred Soul of John Barwick Doctor of Divinity, to whom Westmorland may well boast to have given first breath and being: Next Cambr. may boast to have given him his first admission, and S. Johns Coll. there a Fellowship in that foundation. From which Fellowship (which still makes more for his honour) he was unjustly ejected by a pack of Parricides; who notwithstanding, regardless of the rage of those bloody times or his own blood-spitting malady (equally pernicious) boldly attempted, and successfully managed matters of the greatest difficulty and danger, in the behalf of the King and Church: And for that cause was shut up in a dire and loathsome prison, where he suffered inhumane and barbarous usage, yet with a constant and undaunted spirit. And in the end, he saw by the miracle, as it were of a new creation, the revisal of both Crown and Mitre, himself playing the Man-midwives part, and vigorously assisting at the new birth of both. Last of all, for his active ser∣vices and passive sufferings, he was dignified with the Deanery of Durham, which he held a few months, and afterwards of S. Pauls, which he enjoyed three years, tho either of them too short a sea∣son; yet discharged both with singular care and fidelity; living and dying a Batchellour, and strictly chast, and sanctimonious both in soul and body. And being much debilirated by a long and lin∣gring

consumption, here he rests in the Lord, and deposits his last remains among those ruinous ones of S. Pauls Church, being confi∣dent of the resurrection both of the one and other. He died in the 53 year of his age, and of our Lord 1664. Reader, if thou desi∣rest to know more of this reverend Church-man, go home and learn, by the conspicuous copy of his sincere devotion what it is to be a true Christian indeed.

—After his death succeeded in the Deanery of S. Pauls Dr. Will. Sancroft Dean of York, in Oct. or there∣abouts in 1664.

Doct. of Law.

Apr. 16. Colonel Will. Legge Governour of the Garrison of Ox∣ford—He was afterwards one of the Grooms of the Bedchamber to K. Ch. 1. and 2.

Apr. 16. Colonel George L'isle Governour of the Garrison of Fa∣ringdon in Berkshire—On the 21. of Dec. following, he had the honour of Knighthood confer'd upon him, being then, as 'tis (*) 1.21 said, Master of the Kings••Houshold, and highly valued for his great va∣lour and prudent conduct in martial affairs. This person, I take to be the same, with the most magnanimous Sir George L'isle, who was afterwards deeply engaged in that as honorable as unfortunate ex∣pedition of Kent, Essex and Colchester, an. 1648, in which last place he with the Forces under him for his Majesty, being besieged by Fairfax the Parliament General and those under his conduct, he was, (after the surrender thereof) shot to death in cold blood with the most renowned Sir Charles Lucas, on the 28 of Aug. the same year: At which time they being both obscurely buried, their funeral was afterwards, viz. on June the 7, an. 1661, with great solemnity celebrated at Colchester by the loyal Inhabitants thereof and Gentry adjoyning: The particulars being too many for this place, must for brevity sake be now omitted.

Apr. 22. Colonel Will. Leighton, who hath this character given of him in the publick register, fide & fortitudine pro Principe & pro Patria insignis, was actually created with due solemnity on that day, in Convocation—He was descended from, or at least near of kin to, Sir Will. Leighton Kt, an excellent Musitian, author of a Poetical piece entit. Vertue triumphant: or, a lively description of the four Cardinal vertues. Published in 1603 and dedic. to K. Jam. 1. See more of him in the first vol. p. 342.

Nov. 28. Sir Thomas Gemham Kt, sometimes a Gent. Com. of Trin. Coll. in this University, now Governour of the Garrison of Oxford, was actually created in the House of Convocation with very great solemnity: At which time the Vicechancellour spoke a short and pithy speech to the assembly before he was presented, shewing to them the holiness of his life and conversation, the invincibleness of him and his party at York and Carlile, of which Cities he was suc∣cessively Governour, and tho brought to famine and pestilence, yet yielded neither, but upon honourable conditions, &c. This right valiant and prudent commander was the Son of Sir Hen. Glemham of Little Glemham in Suffolk Kt, by Anne his Wife eldest Daugh- of Sir Thomas Sackvile Knight, Earl of Dorset; and after he had thrown off his gown, betook himself to the German Wars, then the great nursery for English Gentlemen, where gaining much ex∣perience, was made fit for the service in the Wars at home. In 1639 he was a Lieutenant Col. in the regiment of the Earl of Arun∣dell in the Scotch expedition then undertaken, as also in the next, if I am not mistaken, that was took in the year following. After∣wards taking part with his Majesty against his rebellious Subjects in England, did him admirable service in the Garrisons before men∣tion'd and was highly venerated by all military Men. When he died, I cannot justly say; sure I am, that by his last Will and Test. dated 22. Jan. 1647 and proved 13 Mar. 1649 he appointed his younger Brother Dr. Hen. Glemham his Executor, who caused his body to be buried at Little Glemham before mention'd, as I have been enformed by some of his relations.

Doct. of Phys.

May 6. Adrian Metcalfe Bach. of Phys. was then created Doct. of that faculty—In 1642, Nov. 1. he was actually created M. of Arts, and perhaps is the same (but mistaken by the Registrary) with Franc. Metcalf created Bach. of Phys. an. 1643, as before 'tis told you.

Aug. 12. the most noble ... Seymour was then actually created, and admitted to give his suffrage in the house of Congregation and Convocation—Whether this person be the same with Henry Lord Seymour, who was created M. of A. an. 1642, as I have before told you, I know not, nor yet to the contrary but that he may be Ro∣bert Seymour another Son of William Marquess of Hertford, who be∣came a Noble man of Christ Church, an. 1635. aged eleven years.

Oct. 30. Edward Buckoake Bach. of Phys. was created Doctor by vertue of the Chancellours letters, which say that his Majesty hath thought him worthy to serve his Highness Prince Charles in the place of Physitian, and therefore that he might be the more capable of that honour, he desires that the Convocation would confer on him the honour of Doctor of Physick, &c.—He was afterwards a Physitian of some note in Yorkshire.

Doct. of Div.

July 10. Edward Aylmer or Elmer M. A. of Queens Coll. in Cam∣bridge was created D. D. by vertue of the Letters from the Chanc. of the University and Prince Rupert—This person who was Grand∣son to John Aylmer or Elmer sometimes Bishop of London, being for∣ced

from his station by the barbarities of the Presbyterians, took re∣fuge in Oxon, and under the said Prince. He had a kinsman named Joh. Aylmer Rector of Bletneso and Melchbourne in Bedfordshire be∣fore the Civil Wars broke out, who was Son of Tobell, the fifth Son of the said Bishop Aylmer.

Dec. 17. Philip King was then actually created D. of D.—This person who was a younger Son of Dr. John King sometimes Bishop of London, was originally a Student of Ch. Ch. afterwards Orator of the University, Rector of S. Botolphs Church near Billingsgate in London, Prebend of S. Pauls Cathedral Church and Archdeacon of Lewes: But being sequestred of S. Botolphs and forced to fly by the faction, he took sanctuary at Oxon, lived afterwards in a retired condition till his Majesties return; at which time being restored to what he had lost, lived for some time in a quiet and sedate repose. At length paying his last debt to nature on the 4 of March 1666, was buried at Langley in Bucks, where he had a Sister married to Sir Rich. Hobart. Besides this Ph. King I find another of Cambr. who was incorporated M. of A. of this University 23. March 1614, a second born in Oxfordshire, who became Auditor of Ch. Ch. in 1608 or thereabouts aged 35, and a third born in Nottinghamshire and the Son of a Minister, who being entred into Ch. Ch. in 1624 took one degree in Arts four years after. I find also another, per∣haps one of the two next before going, who dying at Bathe, was bu∣ried in the great Church there by the name of Mr. Philip King of Oxford, 23. Sept. 1635. &c.

• An. Dom. 1646.

Mast. of Arts.

July 1. Thankful or Gracious Owen of Linc. Coll.—This person, who was the Son of Philip Owen, was born at Taplow in Buckingham∣shire, became a Sojournour of Exeter Coll, under a Puritanical Tu∣tor, in the year 1635, aged 16 years, elected Fellow of Linc. Coll. in the beginning of Aug. 1642, he being then Bach. of Arts, but soon after left the University and so consequently did not bear arms for his Majesty, as other Scholars did, within the Garrison of Oxon. Upon the surrender of the said Garrison for the use of the Parlia∣ment he returned to his Coll, took the degree of Master, as 'tis be∣fore told you, submitted to the Visitors appointed by the said Par∣liament, being then esteemed a Presbyterian. But the Independents at that time carrying all before them, he became one of their num∣ber, a Preacher in their private congregations, Proctor of the Uni∣versity in 1650 and the same year upon Cheynells marching off, Pre∣sident of S. Johns College and a noted Polititian for carrying on the then cause. In the latter end of 1653 he was appointed by Oliver one of the Commissioners for the approbation of publick preachers, and in 1654 he was appointed one of the Assistants to the Com∣missioners of Oxfordshire (as certain Heads of other Colleges were) for the ejection of such who were then called scandalous, ig∣norant and insufficient Ministers and Schoolmasters, and was not wanting upon all occasions to promote the Independent interest in the University. In 1660 he was forced to leave his beloved Presi∣dentship to make room for the right owner Dr. Rich. Baylie, who for 12 years going before had suffer'd much for his Loyalty: So that retiring to London he took up his quarters at length in Hatton Garden and was not wanting to carry on the congregational way upon all occasions. This person, with James Baron, did, after Dr. Thomas Goodwins death, publish certain of his Theological works in two volumes in fol. and set before them a preface. See more among the Creations, under the year 1653. This Mr. Owen, who had a good command of the Latin tongue, died suddenly in his House in Hatton Garden in Holbourn near London, on the first day of April (Good Friday) 1681, and was buried near to the grave of the said Dr. Goodwin in the yard, called by some Tyndales, and by others The fanatical, burying place, joyning on the north side to the New Ar∣tillery-yard

or Garden near London. Some time before his death he had almost prepared for the press a book entit. Imago Imaginis. The design of which was to shew that Rome Papal is an image of Rome Pagan, as I have been informed by one of his perswasion, who is remembred among the Writers under the year 1669.

July 4. Thomas Clutterbook or Clotterbook of Magd. Coll.—This person is the same, I suppose, who was doctorated in Divinity else∣where, and installed Archdeacon of Winchester, 31. Jul. 1684. See more in Robert Sharrock among the Writers, under the year 1684.

Nov. 10. Joshua Ahier of New Coll.—This Loyal Gentleman, who was the Son of Guy Ahier of S. Saviours in the isle of Jersey, translated from French into English The Elements of Logick. Oxon 1647 oct. Written originally by Pet. du Moulin. A translation of the said book had been before made with the authors approbation, and printed at Lond. 1624. oct, by one Nathan. de Lawne Bach. of Arts of Cambridge, educated in the Grammar Free-school in the City of Norwych, whence he was sent by the Mayor, Sherriffs and Aldermen thereof to C. C. Coll. in the said University, an. 1618.

Nov. 10. Steph. Skinner of Ch. Ch.—He then accumulated the degrees in Arts.

• Dec. 9. Will. Lloyd of Jes. Coll.
• Jan. 26. George Stradling of Alls. Coll.

Adm. 39.

Bach of Phys.

Dec. 3. John Baber of Ch. Ch.—He was then admitted by ver∣tue of the Letters of Colonel John Lambert Governour of the Gar∣rison of Oxford for the Parliament: which Garrison was surrendred for their use on the 24 of June this year as I shall tell you anon.

• 8. Thom. Willis of Ch. Ch.
• 8. Humph. Brooke of S. John Coll.

The last of these two did, on the eleventh of Nov. going before, supplicate the ven. Convocation that he might accumulate the de∣grees of Master of Arts and Bach. of Phys. which was granted: See among the Doctors of Phys. an. 1659.

Besides these three, who were all that were this year admitted, were two that were licensed to practice Phys. viz. Peter Dewever of Brasn. Coll, and Edward-Atkinson Chirurgeon to his Excellency Sir Tho. Fairfax the Generalissimo of the Parl. Army.

Bach. of Div.

July 23. Gilb. Stoaks of Wadh. Coll.—This person, who was the Son of a Gentleman of Devonshire, had taken one degree in Arts as a member of Hart Hall, an. 1608; at which time being noted for his Scholarship, he was afterwards made the Junior of the first two Chaplains of Wadham Coll, by the Dame Dorothy the Foun∣dress thereof. Afterwards he became an indefatigable Student in Philosophy and Theology, and a continual Disputant even to his last among the Juniors in the time of Lent, being a usual thing in his time and before for grave Seniors to take the questions of quadra∣gesimal Disputants to try and ferret them from one hole to another with subtilities: But since, that custome is esteem'd forsooth pe∣dantick and ridiculous, to the decay in some respects of disputa∣tion. He died on the 16 of Oct. 1654 aged 71 years (being then, or some time before Rector of Chilton Cantlow in the Dioc. of Wells) and was buried in the outer Chappel of Wadham Coll. He had written much, but published nothing, yet left behind a book, by him written in latine, treating of the Holy Eucharist, which, by the judgment of some, was thought fit to be published.

He was the only person that was admitted this year, having seve∣ral years before performed all his exercise in order thereunto.

☞ Not one Doctor of Law was admitted or created this year.

Doct. of Phys.

June 17. James Hyde of C. C. Coll.—This person, who was the eleventh Son of Sir Laur. Hyde of the City of Salisbury Knight, be∣came after his Majesties restauration the Kings Professor of Physick of this University and Principal of Magd. Hall. He dyed 7. May 1681, aged 64 years and was buried in the isle joyning to the north side of the Chancel of S. Peter in the East within the City of Oxon. In the month of January 1641, the members of Parliament sent the Oath called the Protestation (made by them) to the University of Oxon to be taken by all there, of the University, that were upward of 18 years of age; whereupon the generality of the Academians did take it, yet some with limitations and exceptions: Others absented themselves because they did not rightly understand it, but this Mr. Jam. Hyde then Fellow of C. C. Coll. did plainly refuse it, which none else did beside. 'Tis true that Dr. Ralph Kettle President of Trin. Coll did wave it, yet for no other reason, but that he was an old man and had taken many oathes already, &c.

Nov. 16. John Wilby of Mert. Coll. was then admitted into the House of Congregation and Convocation.—In 1638 he took the degree of Bach. of the said fac. at Cambridge.

☞ Not one Doctor of Div. was adm. or licensed this year, only created.

Incorporations.

Apr. 9. Joh. Wedderbourne Doct. of Phys. of the University of S. Andrew in Scotland, was then incorporated by vertue of the Let∣ters of the Chanc. of the University, which tell us that he is one of his Majesties Physitians in ordinary and a Gentleman of known learn∣ing and vast experience.—He was originally a Professor of Philo∣sophy in the said University, but that being too narrow a place for so great a person▪ he left it, travelled into various Countries, and

became so celebrated for his great learning and skil in Physick, that he was the chief man of his Country for many years for that faculty. Afterwards he received the honour of Knighthood, and was highly valued when he was in Holland with the Prince, 1646. 47. At length tho his infirmities and great age forced him to retire from publick practice and business, yet his fame contracted all the Scotch Nation to him: And his noble hospitality and kindness to all that were learned and vertuous, made his conversation no less loved, than his advice was desired. One of his name and family named James Wedderbourne, had spent some time in Oxon for the sake of the publick Library, but the particular year when, I cannot justly tell. He was afterwards Doct. of Div, Prebendary of Whitchurch in the Church of Wells upon the resignation of Dr. Joh. Harrys of Winchester, in May 1631, and being some years after made Bishop of Dumblayne in his own Country, Tho. Row Bac. of Div. was adm. to his Prebendship, 30. June 1638.

Octob. ... Edmund Wilson (Anglus-Oxoniensis) Son of John Wil∣son, was incorporated Doct. of Phys. as he had stood in the Univer∣sity of Padua—This person who was admitted to the degree of Bach. of that faculty at Cambridge, 9. Apr. 1638, and to that of Doctor at Padua in Jan. 1641/2, I take to be the same with E. Wil∣son author of—Spadacrene Dunelmensis. Or a short treatise of an antient medicinal fountain or vitrioline spaw near the City of Dur∣ham. Together with the constituent principles, virtues and use thereof. Lond. 1675. &c. oct. as also the same who published The spirit of salt, with the true oyle, or spirit of sulphure, &c. Printed in qu. 1665.

Oct. 15. Thomas Cox Doct. of Phys. of Padua, Son of Thom. Cox of Somersetshire—This Gentleman, who had taken the said de∣gree at Padua, in Decemb. 1641, was afterwards Fellow of the Coll. of Physitians, and President thereof, but being whiggishly inclined, was deprived of that office in Octob. 1683; whereupon Dr. Daniel Whistler was put into his place about S. Lukes day in the same month. Afterwards Dr. Cox put himself in prison purposely to com∣pound for his debts, and died as Dr. Whistler did.

Nov. ... Will. Currer of Yorkshire, Doct. of Phys. of Leyden (where he took that degree in 1643) was then incorporated.

Dec. 17. Will. Marshall Mast. of Arts of Sydney Coll. in Cambridge was then incorporated in the same degree.

Feb. 12. Edw. Emilie of Ch. Ch. Doct. of Phys. of Leyden, was then incorporated Dr. of Phys.—In 1652 or 53 he held up his hand at the bar, at an Assize held in Oxon, for coyning, but being freed, he went to London, practiced his faculty in the Parish of S. Olaves Sil∣ver-street, and died there in the beginning of the year 1658, leaving then a relict behind him named Elizabeth.

Mar. 22. Richard Jackson alias Keurden Bach. of Arts of Emanuel Coll. in Cambridge.—In 1638 he became a Communer of S. Ma∣ries Hall in this University, but upon the breaking out of the rebel∣lion he went to Cambridge, where continuing till Oxford Garrison was surrendred, he retired to his Hall again, and was incorporated Bach. of Arts. See more among the created Doctors of Phy∣sick 1663.

CREATIONS.

The Creations this year did mostly consist of Scholars, not of those only that were factious, after the Garrison was surrendred, but of those that were Orthodox, or had suffered for their Loyalty.

Bach. of Law.

June 17. Noah Bridges of Ball. Coll. lately Clerk of the Parlia∣ment that sate at Oxon, 1643. and 44, was then actually created Bach. of the Civil Law, being at that time esteemed a most faithful Subject to his Majesty.—He was afterwards author of—Lux Mer∣catoria: Arithmetick natural and decimal, digested into a more easie and exact method for resolving the most practical and useful questions that hath been yet published. Lond. 1661, and perhaps of other things. This person, who had a lodging allowed him in Ball. Coll, during the time of the War, is not to be taken to be the same (as some blundering persons that understand but little of authors and books, have done) with Noah Biggs the author of The vanity of the craft of Physick, &c. Lond. 1650. 51. qu.

Alexander Dyer of Wadh. Coll, who for many years together had been trained in the Courts Ecclesiastical and Civil at London, &c. was created the same day.

Aug. 4. Miles Smith of Magd. Coll, who had been admitted Bach. of Arts an. 1638, was actually created Bach. of the Civil Law by vertue of the Chancellours letters directed formerly to the Convocation.—This person, who should have been mention'd a∣mong the Writers, could I have obtained full information of him, was a Ministers Son of, or near to, the City of Glocester, and near∣ly related to Dr. Miles Smith sometimes Bishop of that City, was at his first coming to Magd. Coll. a Servitour, as his contemporaries have informed me, was now a sufferer for his Majesties cause, and after his restauration a retainer and secretary to the Archb. of Can∣terbury. He hath published The Psalmes of K. David paraphrased into English Meeter. Lond. 1668. oct. and perhaps other things. He had a Son of both his names sometimes a Gent. Com. of Trin. Coll, who dying in the Parish of S. Peter in the East 17. Oct. 1682 aged 18, his body was conveyed thence to Lambeth near London I think, and there buried. The said Dr. Smith Bishop of Glocester had a Son called Miles as I have elsewhere told you, which is all I know of him.

Mast. of Arts.

June 17. James Aston of S. Johns Coll, a Captain in the Kings Army—Afterwards he was a suffererer for his Majesties cause,

but after his restauration he became well beneficed, and in Ap. 1682 Canon of Wells.

July 1. Nathaniel Reading of Mert. Coll.

20. Giles Oldisworth Bach. of Arts of Cambridge was then actual∣ly created Master, by vertue of the Chancellours Letters written in his behalf, and read in a Convocation held on the 21. of Feb. going before—This loyal Divine, who was the son of Robert Oldisworth Esq. by Miriel his Wife, Daughter of Nich. Overbury and Sister to Sir Thomas, who was poyson'd in the Tower of London, was born at Coln-Rogers in Glocestershire, an. 1619, educated in the College School at Westminster, elected Scholar of Trinity Coll. in Cambridge 1639, forced thence for his allegiance to the King, retired to Oxon, and was there created Master, as before I have told you, he being then Rector of the Church of Bourton on the Hill near to Morton in the Marsh cammonly called Morton Henmarsh in Glocestershire. He hath written and published (1) The stone roll'd away, and life more abundant: viz. The holy Royallist: or secret discontents of Church and Kingdom, reduced unto self-denial, moderation and thankfulness. Lond. 1663. 64. qu. Before it, is his Majesties picture, as being dedica∣ted to him, from whom he had received, as it seems, some kind of preferment after his restauration. Into the body of this discourse, p. 370, is haled in (2) A Sermon preached at the funeral of Mrs. Dorothie Rutter, Wife of Mich. Rutter Esq. who died in Child-bearing. 'Tis without a text, and dedicated to Sir Joh. Hales of Warwick Bt, Nephew to the said Dorothy. In this volume the author inserts many trivial, impertinent and weak passages, yet seems to shew some con∣siderable reading in the Fathers, and other old authors, to have been honest, loyal and a zealous stickler to his capacity for the estab∣lishment of the Church of England in its whole constitution. (3) The race set before us, shewing the necessity laid upon Gospel believers, to run with diligence thorow all Gospel duties, Sermon preached at Mercers Chap. in Lond. on the 11 of May 1665, on 1. Cor. 9.24. Oxon. 1666. qu. He hath also other things extant, which I have not yet seen, viz. (4) Visitation Sermon, preached at Camden in Glocester∣shire (on 2. Cor. 7.1) printed, as it seems, in 1662. qu. (5) The Father of the faithful tempted, &c. a funeral Sermon, &c. Oxon 1677. (6) Sir Tho. Overburies Wife unvail'd, &c. printed in tw. 'Tis a Poem, and call'd by some The illustrious Wife, &c. This author Giles Oldisworth died 24. Nov. 1678 and was buried in the Chancel of the Church of Bourton on the Hill before mention'd.

Aug. 5. Tho. Vincent of Ch. Ch. lately in service for his Majesty in remote parts, was then created by vertue of his Majesties Letters formerly sent to the University—He was a Dorsetshire man born and afterwards a sufferer for the royal cause.

Dec. 17. Thom. Willis formerly of S. Johns Coll. in this Univer∣sity, had then the degree of Master confer'd on him by vertue of the Letters of Sir Thomas Fairfax General of the Parliament Army, which partly say that Of his approved ability and integrity for learn∣ing and life, he had been sufficiently informed, &c. He was present∣ed to his degree by Mr. Joh. Goad of the same Coll. See more of him among the created Doct. of Div. an. 1670.

Mar. 11. Rich. Mansell of Ball. Coll. who had been adm. Bach. of Arts in 1643, was then created Master of that faculty by vertue of the Letters of the said Sir Tho. Fairfax, wherein 'tis said that he was then a Parliamentarian Officer—He was one of the Guard be∣longing to the said Fairfax, as a senior Fellow of Ball. Coll. hath informed me.

Bach. of Div.

June 6. In a Convocation then held, the Vicechancellour signi∣fied to the members thereof that several Preachers of this and the University of Cambridge had preached several laudable Sermons be∣fore the King, Court, and Parliament, at Oxon: For which their pains, the Delegates, appointed by the University, could think of no other way to requite them but by conferring on them Degrees: which matter being at length decreed by them, and approved by the Chancellours Letters, their names then were publickly read, with liberty given to the said persons to be created when they pleased. Among those that were created this year, are these following.

• Jun. 17. Rich. Sherlock Chapl. of New Coll.
• Jun. 17. James Masters of S. Alb. Hall.
• Jun. 17. Joh. Castilion of Ch. Ch.
• Jun. 17. Will. Towers of Ch. Ch.
• Jun. 17. Tho. Joyce of Hart Hall.

• Jun. 27. Rowland Nicolls of Magd. Coll.
• Jun. 27. Thom. Norgate of Ch. Ch.

The first of these two last, became Chancellour of the Diocess of lile, in the room of one Hen. Marshall M. A, an. 1667, and the other was now Chaplain to Sir Thom. Glemham Governour of the Garrison of Oxon.

June 22. Rich. Harwood of Magd. Hall.

• 23 Pet. Gunning Chaplain of New Coll.
• 23 George Ashwell of Wadh. Coll.
• 23 Will. Creed of S. Johns Coll.
• 23 Geor. Gisbie of S. Johns Coll.

The last being afterwards ejected, was restored to his Coll. in 1660, and dying 13. May 1664, was buried in the Chappel of S. Johns Coll. 'Tis said that on the same day Isaac Barrow Chaplain of New Coll. (afterwards B. of Man and S. Asaph) was actually created also Bach. of Div, yet he occurs not registred.

July 1. Joshua Mynne of Ch. Ch, lately of Peter House in Cam∣bridge.

10. Josias How of Trin. Coll.—This person, who was now in good esteem for his ingenuity, hath published A sermon before the King at Ch. Ch, on Psal. 4.7. Printed as 'tis said, in red letters, an. 1644 or thereabouts, in qu, but this I have not yet seen. He

hath also several copies of verses that are extant in various books, which shew him to have been a good Poet. He was put out of his Fellowship by the Parliamentarian Visitors an. 1648, was restored in 1660, but was no gainer by his sufferings as many honest Cava∣liers were not by theirs. He is now living and will tell you the reason why, &c.

Others were created this year, which for brevity sake I shall now omit to set down: However the Reader must know, that several persons besides, were allowed to take the same degree of Bach. of Div; among whom were Obadiah Walker of Ʋniv. Coll. and Ant. Hodges Chapl. of New Coll, but they refused that favor.

Doct. of Phys.

April 9. Peter Massonet lately of the City of Geneva, now second or under Tutor to James Duke of York, was then actually cre∣ated.

June 23. Charles Scarborough of Merton Coll, lately Fellow of that of Caies in Cambr. was then actually created by vertue of the Letters of the Chancellour of the University, in which 'tis said that he was Master of Arts of Cambridge of 7 years standing and upwards, and that he was spoiled of his Library in the beginning of these troubles; and afterwards for his conscience deprived of his Fellowship at Cam∣bridge, &c. His Letters testimonial under the hand of the famous Dr. Will. Harvey, say also that he is well learned in Physick, Philo∣sophy and Mathematicks, &c. While he abode in Mert. Coll, he did help the said Dr. Harvey then Warden of that House, (in his Chamber at the end of the Library there) in the writing his book De generatione Animalium, which was afterwards published by the said Harvey. Afterwards he became a most learned and incompara∣ble Anatomist, one of the Coll of Physitians, principal Physitian to K. Ch. 2. (from whom he received the honour of Knighthood on the 15. of Aug. 1669) and to his royal Highness James his Brother, while Duke of York, and when King, Physitian to the Tower of London, and afterwards to K. Will. 3. &c. He was the first that intro∣duced (a) 1.22 Geometrical and Mechanical speculations into Anatomy, and applyed them as well in all his learned conversation, as more par∣ticularly in his famous Lectures upon the Muscles of humane Bodies for 16 or 17 years together in the publick Theater at Surgeons Hall, which were read by him with infinite applause and admiration of all sorts of learned men in the great City. He is also most admira∣bly well skill'd in the Mathematick Arts, and was so esteemed by the famous Mr. Will. Oughtred, who speaks thus (b) 1.23 of him after he had given a just character of Mr. Christop. Wren—Accessit & alter Hortator vehemens D. Car. Scarborough Doctor Medicine, suavis∣simis moribus, perspicatissimoque ingenio Vir; cujus tanta est in Ma∣thesi solertia, & supra fidem faelix tenaxque memoria, ut omnes Eu∣clidis, Archimedis aliorumque nonnullorum ex Antiquis propositiones recitare ordine & in usum proferre potis sit, &c. He hath extant un∣der his name (1) Syllabus Musculorum, which is added to The Ana∣tomical administration of all the Muscles of an humane body as they rise in dissection, &c, revived with additions by Will. Molins Master in Chirurgery. This book, which hath been several times printed in oct. is, and ever will be used, as having a prospect of two excel∣lent ends especially: one to shew all the Muscles as they naturally rise in dissection, the other, to place every one of them by his pro∣per Antagonist. (2) Trigonometry. printed in qu. He hath also compendiously methodized the Grammar of the famous Will. Lilye, which shews him to have been a critical Grammarian, as indeed he is; but this I have not yet seen, nor his Elegy upon Mr. Abr. Cowley, which goes from hand to hand in Ms. This worthy person is now living in great repute and veneration at Court, within the liberty of Westminster; of whom you may see more in the discourse of Dr. Seth Ward among the Writers in this vol. num. 522.

June 23. Rob. Mead M. A. of Ch. Ch. and a Captain in his Maje∣sties service.

William Lord Brouncker Vicount of Castle Lyons, Son of Sir Will. Brouncker, (mention'd among the created Doctors of the Civil Law under the year 1642) was actually created Doctor of Physick the same day—This noble person, did then solely addict himself to the study of Mathematicks, and at length became a very great Artist in that faculty. He was afterwards Fellow of the Royal Society and President thereof for about 15 years: which society he did much honour and advance by his learning and experience. The places of honour and profit which he held, were the Chancellourship of her Majesties Courts, and keeping of her Great Seal, one of the Lords Commissioners for the executing the office of the Lord High Admi∣ral, and the Mastership of S. Catherines Hospital near to the Tower of London: which last place he obtained in Nov. 1681, after a long suit of Law had depended between him and Sir Rob. Atkins a Judge, concerning the right thereof. He hath extant under his name Ex∣periments of the recoiling of Guns, mention'd in the Hist. of the Royal Society, and Several Letters to Dr. Jam. Ʋsher Primate of Ireland, which are at the end of his life published by Dr. R. Parr. He died in his house in S. James-street within the liberty of Westm, on the 5. of April early in the morning an. 1684 aged 64 years, and was bu∣ried on the 14 of the same month in a little vault which he had caused to be made, eight foot long and four broad, in the middle of the choir belonging to the Hospital of S. Catherine before mention'd: Which choir he a little before had divided in the middle, with a good skreen (set up at his own charge) whereby he hath spoiled the beauty and state of it.

Hen. Brouncker younger brother to the said L. Brouncker, was crea∣ted the same day, Jun. 23.—After the death of Will. Lord Broun∣ker, this Henry succeeded him in his honour, and dying about the 4 of January 1687, was buried at Richmond in Surrey, where there is a mon. over his grave.

Doct. of Div.

Jun. 6. In a Convocation then held, the Vicechancellour signified to the Members thereof, &c. as before, under the title of Bach. of Div, this year: Whereupon these persons following were created, either for their preaching before the Court or Parl. at Oxon, or for their Sufferings for the Royal Cause.

• Jun. 17. Matthew Brookes of Mert. Coll.
• Jun. 17. Jasp. Mayne of Ch. Ch.
• Jun. 17. Thom. Swadlin of S. Joh. Coll.
• Jun. 17. Tho. Philpot of New Coll.

This last, Tho. Philpot son of Dav. Philpot, was born at Michel Dever in Hampshire, educated in Wykehams School near Winchester, made perpetual Fellow of New Coll. in 1609, and afterwards taking holy Orders, he became Rector of Turveston and Akeley in Bucking∣hamshire. In the beginning of the Civil War he suffered much for his Loyalty and a good Conscience, suffer'd also by the loss of his Goods and Imprisonment; and therefore retiring to Oxon, was there actually created D. of D. He hath published (1) An adieu to the Duke of Glocester: or, a Sermon preached in a poor Parish Church (Turweston or Turveston) near Buckingham 23 Sept. 1660, on Eccles. 3.20. Lond. 1660. qu. (2) The Cripples Complaint, &c. Sermon on S. Joh. 5.7. Lond. 1665. qu. He died in 1669 or there∣abouts, and was, I suppose, buried at Turveston.

• Jun. 22. Ger. Langbaine Prov. of Qu. Coll.
• Jun. 22. Thomas Bravell of Magd. Coll.

23. John Croft now of Wadham Coll.—He was a younger son of Sir Hen. Croft of Teddington in Bedfordshire, was first a Com. of Linc. Coll, afterwards Fellow of that of Allsoules, M. of A. and be∣neficed; but suffering for his Majesties Cause he retired to Oxon, and was there created D. of D. as 'tis here said. After his Maje∣sties restauration, he was, by the endeavours of William Lord Croft his brother, promoted to the Deanery of Norwich in the place of Dr. Joh. Hassall some years before deceased; in which being instal'd 7 Aug. 1660, sate there to the time of his death, which hapning on the 27 Jul. 1670, he was buried in the Cath. Ch. at Norwich. His said Brother Will. Lord Croft, died either in Aug. or Sept. 1677.

Will. Stutevile of Ch. Ch. who had lately done his Maj. special service in the West, was actually created the same day, June 23.

Tristram Sugge of Wadh. Coll. was also created the same day.—This person who was born at Yeovill in Somersetshire, had been pub∣lic Metaphysick Reader and Proctor of the University. Afterwards he was ejected by the Visitors in 1648, and suffer'd much in the interrupted times for his Loyalty. In 1660 he was restored to his Fellowship, and dying on the 27 of January in the same year, was buried in the Chappel of Wadham Coll. He was esteemed by all that knew him a profound Philosopher and Divine, and very fit to publish what he had written of those Subjects; but since his death his papers are gotten into such hands, that it is doubted whether ever they will see light.

Jul. 1. Edward Boughen of Ch. Ch.

Aug. 13. Joh. Pottinger of New Coll, the famous Master of Wyke∣ham's School near Winchester.—He resigned the said Mastership soon after, was succeeded by Mr. Will. Burt, and died in 1659.

This year it was allowed by the Members of the ven. Convoca∣tion that Hen. Tozer, Joh. Proctor and Baldwin Acland of Exeter Coll, Rob. Barker of New Coll, Rich. Washington of Ʋniv. Coll, Edm. Diggle of Magdalen, and John Good of New, Coll, might have liberty when they pleased to be created Doctors of Divinity, but they all refused then, and the next year, to accept of that favour.

At the same time also Isaac Basire and Rich. Dukeson of Cambr. Thom. Bunbury of Ball. Coll, Rob. Sibthorp of Linc. Coll, Will. Hay∣wood of S. Johns Coll, &c. who had fled to Oxon, as an Asylum, and there had several times preached before his Majesty and the Mem∣bers of Parliament, had each a license given to them under the public Seal of the Univ. to preach the word of God throughout England.

This year Jun. 24, being Wednesday and Midsummer day, the Garrison of Oxford was surrendred for the use of the Parliament; at which time marched out in a body eastward about 3000 Soldi∣ers, besides 500 or thereabouts northward, and a little before and after them, five hundred more, mostly Horsemen and private per∣sons engaged in the Siege. On Munday going before, Prince Rupert and Pr. Maurice his brother, with their attendants, departed; and those that followed them the next day, were about 300 persons, most of them of quality, and their attendants. When the forces belonging to the Parliament were entred, who were all Presbyte∣rians, Independents or worse, were among them their Chaplains of the same perswasion, who forthwith, upon all occasions, thrust themselves into the pulpits, purposely by their rascally doctrine to obtain either Proselites, or to draw off from their loyal Principles and orthodox Religion the Scholars and Inhabitants. Among them were Hugh Peters that diabolical Villain and Pulpit-buffoon, Will. Dell Chapl. to Sir Tho Fairfax, John Saltmarsh, Will. Erbury, &c. and what they did there besides, during their stay, is too large a story now to tell you. In Sept. following, were seven Presbyterian Mi∣nisters (who had formerly their education in this University) ap∣pointed by Parliament, sent to Oxon, to preach at S. Maries and elsewhere, to draw off the Scholars from their loyal principles, but Edw. Corbet one of them, being about that time called thence, the six carried on the work, yet found opposition by the Indepen∣dents and other Sectaries, of whom Will. Erbury was one, yet all,

upon any occasion, would joyn together to pluck down and per∣secute the Malignants, that is Cavaliers and Royalists. So that whereas before the surrender, there was no place in England more loyal to their Prince, orthodox, and observant of the Ceremonies of the Church of England, than the Scholars and the generality of the Inhabitants of Oxon were; so after the entry of the said Parlia∣menteers, there appeared nothing but confusion, darkness, &c. Hell was broke loose upon the poor remnant, and they were over∣run by Sectaries, Blasphemers, Hypocrites, Exciters to Rebellion, Censurers, Covetous persons, men of self-pride, envy, and what not. So that those of the Gown that could not brook such persons, did either leave the University, or abscond in their respective hou∣ses, till they could know their doom by the approaching Visitation. The Soldiery did declare their impudence so much, that they forbore not to preach in some of the Pulpits, and to thrust themselves into the pub∣lic Schools, and there, in the places of Lecturers, speak to the Scholars against humane learning, and challenge the most learned of them to prove their Calling from Christ, &c. But let the restless Presbyterians be thanked for the original of all these Evils and others that follow∣ed; who, to fill their coffers, raise families, please and cherish their private lusts and endearments and nothing else, care not what mis∣chief they do, or what ruin they bring upon this poor Nation, so that they might obtain their own unworthy ends.

Chanc. the same, viz. William Marquess of Hertford, &c. who continuing in his office till the beginning of February, Philip Earl of Pembroke and Mountgomery was about that time restored; and according to an order of the Lords in Parl. dated 2 March, he was desired to go to Oxford and re-take possession of his place. Accor∣ding to which order he went in the beginning of the next year, as I shall tell you by and by.

Vicechanc. Dr. Sam. Fell without any nomination by the Chanc.

May 22. John Finch of Ball. Coll.—This most worthy person, who was younger brother to Sir Heneage Finch (afterwards Earl of Nottingham) and both the sons of Sir Heneage Finch, brother to Thomas Earl of Winchelsey, was bred in Grammar learning under Mr. Edw. Sylvester, who taught in Allsaints Parish in Oxon; and when at about 15 years of age he became Gent. Com. of the said Coll. of Balliol. After he had taken one degree here, he applied his mind to the study of physick, but leaving the University when it was turn'd topsie turvie the next year by the Visitors, he some time after travelled into Italy, became Doctor of his family there (at Padua as it seems) and publick Reader of it in several places. Afterwards he was made Consul of the English at Padua, and prefer'd by all the Italians and Greeks (tho himself much opposed it) to be Syndick of that whole University, an honour no English man ever had before. In contemplation and memory of his excel∣lent Government, they did set up his Statue in marble, and the great Duke, (invited by the fame of his learning and virtues) did make him the public Professor at Pisa; all Princes striving who should most honour a person (so vastly above his years) so know∣ing and meritorious. After his Majesties restauration, he returned to his native Country, and giving a visit to Edw. E. of Clarendon L. Chancellour, he was by him conducted to his Majesty; and being by him presented as a rarity, his Majesty no sooner saw, but in∣stantly confer'd upon, him the honour of Knighthood (Jun. 10. an. 1661) as a person who abroad had in an high degree honoured his Country. In 1665 he was sent Resident for his Maj. of Great Bri∣taine with the Great Duke of Tuscany, and upon his arrival at Flo∣rence Sir Bernard Gascoigne (a known friend to the English nation) did with an undeniable civility press him to take a quarter at his own house, till he should be farther provided; which he according∣ly accepted, and the Duke was pleased to employ the said Sir Ber∣nard to his Majesties Resident with such notices and respects as he found then convenient. In the end, all things being agreed upon, as to the manner and dignity of his reception, the said Resident made his entry in a very noble coach, being attended with an an∣swerable train, in rich Liveries, and a great number of other coach∣es, beside the whole Factory of Legorne, who very kindly appear∣ed in a handsome equipage to do him all possible honour. Thus at∣tended, he went to the pallace, and received Audience, first from the Great Duke, and two days after from the Dutchess and Prince,

acquitting himself with a singular grace throughout the whole Cere∣mony. Afterwards he shewed himself dexterous and happy in his public Ministry, as also in his private conversation, whereby he gained to himself the esteem and good will of all men. When he had continued there some years he returned, and was sent Embassa∣dor to Constantinople, and continued there, with very great esteem also. After he had quitted that office, he returned to London, and dying early in the morn, of the 18 of Nov. 1682, (being then Fel∣low of the Coll. of Physitians) he was buried in the Chap. of Christs Coll. in Cambridge, to which House he had been a great benefactor. He had a brother named Francis Finch, bred up also under E. Sil∣vester, was afterwards a Gent. Com. of Ball. Coll, but leaving it without a degree, went to London, studied the Law and became a Barrister of one of the Temples, but before he had long practised he died, yet lives still in those several pieces of ingenuity he left behind him, wherein he falls not short of the best of Poets: And because Poeta est finitimus Oratori, he might have proved excellent in that too, having so incomparable a Precedent as his brother Sir Heneage Finch. Among the several specimens of his Poetry which I have seen, is a copy of verses before Will. Cartwrights Poems, an. 1651, as there is of his brother John: Another before a book intit. Ayres and Dialogues for one, two and three Voices. Lond. 1653. fol. publish∣ed by Hen. Lawes. In the body of which book he hath a Poem intit. Caelia singing, to which the said Lawes composed an Ayr of two parts to be sung, &c.

• June 22. Edm. Dickenson of Mert. Coll.
• Jul. 1. Rich. Werge of Trin. Coll.

The first of these two, who is now living in Westminster in good repute for his practice in the faculty of Physick, hath publish∣ed several things, and therefore ought to be remembred hereafter among Oxford Writers. The other, Rich. Werge, will be at large mention'd among the created Masters, an. 1648.

Bach. of Law.

But one admitted this year, viz. Rich. Fisher Fellow of Alls. Coll, who had, with the rest of the Scholars, born arms for his Majesty.

Mast. of Arts.

Apr. 2. Joh. Lydall of Trin Coll.—He was an ingenious man, an excellent Philosopher, a great Tutor, and might have honoured the world with his Learning had his life been longer spared. He died 12 Oct. 1657, aged 32 years or thereabouts, and was buried in the Chappel belonging to his Coll. He had been ejected his Fellowship, but was allowed to take Pupils.

Jul. 8. Rich. Watkins of Ch. Ch.—This person, who was son of Hen. Watkins mention'd among the Doct. of Div. in the Fasti of the first vol. under the year 1619, was afterwards author of a pam∣phlet intit. News from the dead. Or a true and exact narration of the miraculous deliverance of Anne Greene, who being executed at Oxford 14 Dec. 1650, afterwards revived, &c. Oxon. 1651. qu. printed twice in that year. To which are added Poems written upon that subject by divers Oxford Scholars. He was afterwards Vicar of Amersden in the dioc. of Oxon, and is now Rector of Whichford in Warwickshire, and of Bourton on the Hill in Gloc.

Jul. 13. Joh. Humphrey of Pemb. Coll.—He is now living a Nonconformist.

Dec. 9. Joh. Dolben of Ch. Ch.—It doth not appear that he had taken the degree of Bach. of Arts, and therefore I suppose he did now accumulate. He was afterwards Bishop of Rochester and Archb. of York.

Jan. 17. Henr. Downe a Devonian born, and Doct. of Phys. of the Univ. of Caen in Normandy.

CREATIONS.

The Creations were in most faculties, either mostly of such that had bore Arms for, or otherwise useful to, his Majesty.

Bach. of Arts.

Nov. 2. Will. Browne of Magd. Coll.—See among the Bach. of Div. an. 1665.

Rob. Whitehall of Ch. Ch.—He afterwards cringed to the Visi∣tors, and became Fellow of Mert. Coll.

Besides these two were six. of Magd. Coll, that had born arms, created, of which Edw. Philipps was one, different from him of Magd. Hall, who was afterwards a Writer: Two also of Jesus and one of Ball; all afterwards ejected.

Bach. of Law.

Three were created, of which two, who were of New Coll. were afterwards ejected.

Mast. of Arts.

June 17. Amos Waldrond—He was then, as it seems, created, because in a Convocation then held, that degree was granted to him by the Members thereof. He had been admitted a Student in Trin. Coll. in Cambr. 18 Nov. 1637, was elected Scholar of that House in Easter Term 1641, and admitted Bach. of Arts in Jan. following. Afterwards he entred into holy Orders, had a Rectory confer'd on him, but being forced thence by the Presbyterians, was taken in∣to the protection of Will. Marquess of Hertford and by him made his Secretary: which place he now (1647) enjoyed.

It was also then granted by the Convocation that John King late∣ly a Student of Ch. Ch, son of Dr. Hen. King Bishop of Chichester, might be created M. of A. in any Congregation or Convocation; but whether he was so, it appears not.

Jul. 8. Thom. Reading of Ch. Ch. lately freed from prison, where∣in he had for a long time been detained from the Offices, not of a good Citizen, but from those of the University, was then actually created.

At the same time the University Delegates did grant to Thom. Rastall Bach. of Arts of Ch. Ch. (lately an Undergraduat of the Uni∣versity of Cambr.) that he might have the degr. of M. of A. confer'd on him, in consideration of the several services he had done for his Majesty; but whether he was adm. I cannot tell.

On the 2. of Nov. three Bach. of Arts, who had been Soldiers in the Garrison of Oxon, were also then created Masters, but in the year after were ejected: And on the 24 of Jan. following it was dispenced with by the said Delegates, that Tho. Wood Bach. of Arts of Ch. Ch. of 5 years standing, who was the first young Scholar or Undergraduat that voluntarily left the Univ. to serve his Maj. at the battel of Edghill, might be presented to the degr. of Mast. in any Congregation; which was accordingly done, but not registred. The next year he being deeply engaged in the Cavaleering Plot at Oxon, in order for the relief of the distressed Royalists besieged in Colchester, he was forced thence to save his neck: Whereupon going into Ireland, he became an Officer in the Regiment of Col. Hen. In∣goldsby (his quondam School-fellow at Thame) against those that were then called Rebels; where, at Tredagh, he ended his days of the Country disease called the Flux, an. 1651.

Bach. of Phys.

Feb. 1. Edm. Gayton of S. Johns Coll.—He was turned out of his place the next year, and soon after compounded for his estate, for the sum of 47 l.

About the same time it was allowed to three Masters to be crea∣ted Bachelaurs of Physick, two of which (of Exeter Coll.) were afterwards ejected: Whereupon one of them going to Padua was there made Doctor, and incorporated here after his Majesties re∣stauration, and the other actually created, as I shall tell you when I come to the year 1660.

Bach. of Div.

• Nov. 2. Will. Walwyn of S. Johns Coll.
• Nov. 2. Joh. Goad of S. Johns Coll.

The first of these two who was son of Franc. Walwyn of Muggwell street in Lond. was elected, from Merch. Tayl. school, Scholar of S. Johns Coll, 1634 or thereabouts, aged 17 years, was afterwards Fellow, M. of A. and a noted Preacher. In 1648 he was ejected his Fel∣lowship, suffered much in the interval, but at length obtaining the Vicaridge of East Coker in Somersetshire, published (1) God save the King: or a Sermon of Thanksgiving for his Majesties happy return to his throne, on 1 Sam. 10.24. Lond. 1660. qu. (2) A chara∣cter of his sacred Maj. &c.

Besides these two, were four more created, and three that had liberty to be created when they pleased. Some of those that were created had preached before the King and Parl.

Doct. of Law.

Nov. 23. George Wilde of S. Johns Coll.—He was the only per∣son that was created this year, and after his Majesties restauration he became Bishop of London-Derry in Ireland.

Doct. of Phys.

May 8. Capt. Anthony Morgan sometimes of Magd. Coll, was actually created by vertue of the Letters sent to the Univ. from Fairfax General of the Parl. Army, which say that he hath faith∣fully behaved himself in the public Service, meaning the service of the Parliament.

Thom. Wharton of Trin. Coll. was created the same day by ver∣tue of the Lett. from the said Gen. which say that he was sometimes a Student in this Ʋniversity, and afterwards improved his time in Lon∣don in the study of all parts of Physick, &c.

In a Convocation held 17 June it was granted to John French M. A. of New Inn, now a Physitian in the Parl. Army, that he might accumulate the degrees of Bach. and Doct. of Phys. but he did not.—See more in the next year, where you'll find him actu∣ally created.

This year flocked to the University several poor Scholars, whom some call'd the scum of Cambridge, many poor School-masters, Pe∣dagogues from Belfries, Curates and sometimes Vicars, as also Parl. Soldiers, especially such that had been lately disbanded, to gain pre∣ferment by the Visitation approaching; for this year the Visitors could make nothing of it, as I have elsewhere (*) 1.24 told you. They were commonly called Seekers, were great frequenters of the Ser∣mons at S. Maries, preached by the 6 Ministers appointed by Par∣liament, and other Presbyterian Ministers that preached in other Churches in Oxon, and sometimes frequenters of the Conventicles of Independents and Anabaptists. The generality of them had mor∣tified Countenances, puling Voices, and Eyes commonly, when in discourse, lifted up, with hands laying on their breasts. They most∣ly had short hair, which at this time was commonly called the Committee cut, and went in quirpo in a shabbed condition, and looked rather like Prentices, or antiquated School-boys, than Aca∣demians or Ministers, and therefore few or none, especially those of the old stamp or royal party would come near to, or sort them∣selves with, them, but rather endeavour to put scorn upon them and make them ridiculous, &c.

This year was a Sojourner and Student in Oxon, for the sake of the public Library, Pet. Laur. Scavenius a noble Dane; who, after his return to his own Country, became a learned man and a pub∣lisher of certain books, whereby he obtained an increasing admira∣tion from his Countrymen.

Vicechanc. Edward Reynolds sometimes Fellow of Merton Coll, who being designed to this office (thro the recommendations of the Chancellour) by an order of the Lords and Commons assembled in Parliament, 18 of Feb. 1647, he was first declared Doct. of Div. by another order, and afterwards presented to his office, before the Chanc. sitting in his chair in Convocation, by Sir Nath. Brent War∣den of Mert. Coll, on the 12 day of the said month of Apr.

Proct.

• ... Joshua Cross of Linc. Coll. Adm. 12 Apr.
• ... Ralph Button of Mert. Coll. Adm. 12 Apr.

The said Proctors, who were godly Brethren, were designed to their office by the same Authority that the Vicechanc. was, with∣out any regard had to the Caroline Cycle, which appointed New, and Allsoules, Coll. to elect Proctors for this year: And being admitted on the said day (Apr. 12.) by the same Authority, Will. Bew or Beaw of New Coll. (afterwards Bishop of Landaff) who had been chosen by the Society of New Coll, for their Proctor on the first Wednesday in Lent 1647, was put aside, as also one Ed. Allason, who (as 'tis said in the Visitors Register) was chose by those of Allsoules; yet whether he was of that House, or had taken the de∣gree of M. of Arts, I cannot yet find.

Bach. of Arts.

• Nov. 3. Dan. Greenwood of Brasn. Coll.
• Nov. 3. Rich. Adams of Brasn. Coll.

Of these two I shall speak more among the Masters an. 1651.

• Mar. 16. Josias Banger of Magd. Coll.
• Mar. 16. Dan. Capell of Magd. Coll.

Of the first of these two, I shall speak more among the Masters in 1651. The other is mention'd among the Writers.

Adm. 37.

Bach. of Law.

Aug. 4. Will. Scot of Alls. Coll.—This person, who was the on∣ly Bachelaur admitted this year, had before spent six years in the study of humane literature and in the Civ. Law in Cambridge, whence coming to get preferment here from the Visitors, was by them made this year Fellow of Alls. Coll, by the endeavours of his father Thom. Scot, who being a great creature of Oliver Cromwell was by him nominated to be one of the Judges of K. Ch. 1. of ever blessed memory in the latter end of this year, and accordingly did fit, but paid the debt for it after his Majesties restauration.

• Dec. 12. Sim. Ford of Magd. Hall.

The last of these two was afterwards a Student of Ch. Ch, and is now living in Worcestershire, a Conformist to the Church of England.

Dec. 12. Joh. Rowe of New Inn.—He was about this time made Fellow of C. C. Coll.

14. Edward Littleton of Alls. Coll.—This person, who was son of Adam Littleton of Stoke S. Mildrid in Shropshire, of the antient and gentile family of the Littletons in that County and elsewhere, became a Commoner of S. Maries Hall in the beginning of the year 1641 aged 15 years or thereabouts, and in 1647 he was elected Fellow of the said Coll. of Alls. In 1656 he was installed one of the Proctors, and continued in his House, as I conceive, till his Ma∣jesties restauration. He hath written and published, De juventute: Oratio habita in Comitiis Oxoniensibus. Lond. 1664. in 10 sh. in qu. This Oration was spoken by him when he was Rhetorick Reader of the University of Oxon. The second edit. of this came out at Lond. 1689. qu. Which, by an Epist. before it, the author dedi∣cates to Westminster School, wherein he was educated in Grammar Learning, to Alls. Coll, wherein he was educated in Academicals, to Linc. Inn, where he had studied the Common Law, and to the Island of Barbadoes, where he, as a Judge, had administred the Law.

Feb. 13. Will. Ley of Ch. Ch.—He occurs not either matriculated of any House, or Bach. of Arts of this University, and therefore I suppose he was a Stranger put in Student of Ch. Ch. by the Visitors. I take him to be the same Will. Ley (son of Joh. Ley mention'd among the Writers, an. 1662. p. 190.) who was afterwards Minister of Wanting alias Wantage in Berks, Author of A Buckler for the Church of England, in answer to Mr. Pendarves his Queries called Arrowes against Babylon, &c. Oxon. 1656. qu.

Adm. 38. or thereab.

☞ Not one Bach. of Phys, Bach. of Div, Doct. of Law, Doct. of Phys, or Doct. of Divinity, was admitted or licensed to proceed this year.

INCORPORATIONS.

The Incorporations this year did mostly consist of Can••abrigians who had lately come to this University for preferment from the Visitors, when the great rout of Royallists were by them made in this University.

Bach. of Arts.

About 20 were incorporated, of which number were these.

June 10. Rich. Maden of Magd. Coll. in Cambridge.—This per∣son, who afterwards took the degree of Master, as a member of New Inn, I set down here, not that he was afterwards a Writer, but to distinguish him from another of both his names who was author of certain Sermons of Christs love towards Jerusalem, Lond. 1637. qu. and perhaps of other things.

Jul. 4. Peter Pett of Sydney Coll.—He was soon after made Fellow of Alls. Coll, became a great Vertuoso, and at length a Kt. and a Writer, and therefore he is hereafter to be numbred among the Writers, with honour.

Oct. 10. Jam. Ward of Harwarden Coll. at Cambridge in New England—His testimony dated 3 Dec. 1646 is subscribed by Hen. Dunster President, and Sam. Danforth Fellow, of that Coll; but whe∣ther this J. Ward published any thing afterwards, I know not. Af∣ter he was incorporated, he was admitted Master. See among the created Bach. of Phys. 1649.

Dec. 8. Joh. Rowe of Cambridge in Old England.—Two days af∣ter he was admitted Master, as I have before told you.

Mast. of Arts.

Seven or more Masters of the said Univ. of Cambridge were in∣corporated, but such obscure persons they were that nothing can be said of them.

Oct. 10. Will. Hamilton M. A. of the Univ. of Glascow in Scotland. This person, who was noted among the Presbyterians for a learn∣ed man, was put in Fellow of Alls. Coll. this year by the Visitors, but left it in 1651 because he refused the Independent Oath called the Engagement. Afterwards he took his rambles, setled and had some place bestowed on him, but what I cannot tell. Among se∣veral things that he hath written is a Pamphlet intit. Some necessity of reformation, &c. Printed 1660/1 in reply to a Pamphlet written by the learned Dr. Joh. Pearson intit. No necessity of Reformation, &c. in answer to Reasons shewing the necessity of reformation, &c. See in Corn. Burges p. 237, in Hen. Savage p. 366, and in Jo. Biddle p. 198.

There were also 4 English-men who were Masters of Arts of the University of S. Andrew incorporated, but not one of them was af∣terwards a Writer, Bishop, or man of note. Two of them were at present of Merton Coll, who afterwards were prefer'd by the Visitors to be Fellows of Colleges in the places of Royalists ejected, viz. one of Wadh. and another of Brasn. Coll.

Doct. of Phys.

Apr. 14. Edm. Trench (Anglo-Nordovicensis) Doct. of Physick of Bourges in France.—He took that degree there in 1638.

John Micklethwait a Yorksh. man born, who had taken the degree of Doct. of Phys. at Padua in Italy, 1638, was incorporated also the same day, Apr. 14.—He was now one of the Coll. of Physitians, was, several years after, President thereof, Physitian in ord. to K. Ch. 2, from whom he received the honour of Knighthood; and dy∣ing on Friday 28 July 1683, aged 70 years, was buried in the lower end of the Church (on the north side) of S. Botolph without Aldersgate, London.

George Rogers of Linc. Coll. Doct. of Phys. of Padua, was incor∣porated the same day. Apr. 14.—He is now, as I conceive, or at least was lately, President of the Coll. of Physitians, hath published certain things, and therefore is to be remembred hereafter.

Oct. 13. Rob. Waydesden Doct. of Phys. of Cambridge, was then in∣corporated.

CREATIONS.

There were two or more Creations this year in all faculties, which were called the Pembrockian Creations, because they were made by the command of Philip Earl of Pembroke Chancellour of the University, while he continued in Oxon, to brake open Lodg∣ings and give possession to the new Heads of the Presbyterian Gang. The Creations were made on the 12, 14 and 15 of April, and those that were not then created, are not to be numbred a∣mong those of Pembrockian Creations.

Bach. of Arts.

Twenty and three were created, (of which ten were of Magd. Hall) yet but two were afterwards Writers, as I can yet find, viz.

• Apr. 15. Joh. Barnard of Linc. Coll.
• Apr. 15. Tho. Neast of Magd. Hall.

The last was afterwards made Fell. of New Coll. by the Visitors. See more among the Masters, an. 1650.

Bach. of Law.

Apr. 14. Benjamin Needler of S. Johns Coll.—He was the only person that was created Bach. of Law. He is mentioned among the Writers under the year 1682.

Mast. of Arts.

Among 61 Masters that were created, are these following.

• Apr. 12. Charles Dormer Earl of Caernarvan, Grandson, by the Mother, to Philip Earl of Pembroke.
• Apr. 12. James Herbert Sons of the Earl of Pembroke.
• Apr. 12. John Herbert Sons of the Earl of Pembroke.

• Apr. 12. Sir Will. Cobbe of Adderbury in Oxford∣shire. Visitors of the Univ. appointed by the Parliam.
• Apr. 12. Will. Tipping of Draycot Esq. in Oxford∣shire. Visitors of the Univ. appointed by the Parliam.
• Apr. 12. Joh. Cartwright of Aynoe in Northampt••shire, sometimes of Brasn. Coll. Visitors of the Univ. appointed by the Parliam.
• Apr. 12. Joh. Wilkinson Gent. Visitors of the Univ. appointed by the Parliam.

All these, besides three more, whose Christian names occur not, were presented by Sir Nath. Brent to the new Vicechanc. Dr. Rey∣nolds, at which time the Chancellour of the Univ. sate in the su∣pream chair in the Convocation-house.

Apr. 14. Lieut. Col. Tho. Kelsey, commonly called Colonel Kel∣sey, now Deputy-Governour of the Garrison of Oxon, for the Par∣liament, was then actually created M. of A.—This person, who had been a mean Trader in Birchin-Lane in London, (a godly But∣ton-maker as I have heard) was a great Creature of Ol. Cromwell, who made him a Commissioner of the Admiralty worth 500 l. per an. and Major Gen. for Kent and Surrey, the Salary for one of which Counties came to 666 l. 13 s. 4 d, per an. besides the Revenues due to him as being Governour of Dover Castle. After his Majesties re∣stauration, when then he was deprived of all his places, he took upon him the trade of Brewing in London, lived at least 20 years after, and died but in a mean condition, as I have heard.

Francis Allen a Captain in Oxford Garrison was created the same day.—He afterwards lived at, or near, Abendon, and died but in a sorry condition. One of both his names, a Goldsmith in Fleet∣street, London, son of the poor Vicar of Gretton in Northamptonshire, was one of the Judges of K. Ch. 1. and a constant Rumper, but whether of any kin to the Captain I cannot tell. Thom. Wait, ano∣ther Judge of the said King, was the son of an Ale-house Keeper of Market Overton; but he was not created.

Latimer Cross lately Manciple of Magd. Hall, now Steward of Magd. Coll.—He died 3 Dec. 16••7, and was buried in Magd. Coll. Chappel; whereupon his Stewardship was bestowed by the then President on a godly brother called Elisha Coles.

Francis Howell of Exet. Coll.—He was afterwards one of the Proctors of the University, moral Philosophy Reader, and at length Principal of Jesus Coll. by the favour of Ol. Cromwell, as being an Independent to the purpose. After his Majesties restauration, he was turn'd out of his Principality; so that living mostly in, and near, London, a Nonconformist and a Conventicler, died at Bednal Green in Middlesex on the 8 or 10 of Mar. 1679. Afterwards his body being conveyed to the phanatical Burying-place joyning to the New Artillery yard near London, was there buried in the pre∣sence of a great many Dissenters.

Sam. Lee of Magd. Hall, was created also the same day.—He was afterwards made Fellow of Wadham Coll, became a Writer

and Publisher of several Books, and is now living in New England.

John Milward of New Inn was created the same day, Apr. 14.—This person, who was soon after made Fell. of C. C. Coll. by the Visitors, continued always after a Nonconformist, and died so. Under his name is published a Sermon intit. How we ought to love our neighbour as our selves, on Matth. 22.39. Printed in the Supple∣ment to the morning exercise at Cripplegate in London, an. 1674. 76. quart.

Joh. Flower of New Inn, was also created the same day.—What preferment he had confer'd upon him by the Visitors I know not: sure I am that he was soon after Preacher of God's Word at Ilming∣ton in Warwickshire, and afterwards at Staunton in the County of Nottingham, where I find him in 1658, and that he was author of (1) The free and honorable servant, set forth in his privileges and prerogatives, &c. Lond. 1652. oct. (2) Several Queries concerning the Church of Jesus Ch. upon earth, briefly explained and resolved &c. Lond. 1658. oct. What other things he hath published I cannot tell, nor any thing else of him, only that he was son of Will. Flower of Cubley in Derbyshire Gent, and that he became a Commoner of New Inn in Act term 1640, aged 16 years.

Jenkyn Lloyd of Jesus Coll, was also created the same day.—See more among the created Doctors of Div. an. 1661.

Apr. 15. Rich. Werge of Trin. Coll was actually created in the se∣cond Pembrokian Creation.—This person, who was a Shoomakers son, was born at Witney in Oxfordshire, became Servitour of the said Coll, in the beginning of the year 1642, aged 17 years, and this year was made Fellow thereof by the Visitors, being by them taken to be a godly brother for the Cause, as indeed he was. Af∣terwards he became Rector of Nelson or Nailson in Leycestershire, which he exchanged with Mr. Joh. Cave of Coleorton for Gateshead or Gateside near New Castle upon Tyne, he being then a Conformist. He hath written and published (1) A Sermon preached in S. Maries Church at Gateshead in the County Pal. of Durham, on Hos 5.12. Lond. 1683. qu. (2) Sermon in S. Mar. at Gateshead, &c. at the funeral of George Johnson Gent. deceased, 29 May 1683, on Heb. 9. part of the 27 ver. printed in qu; whereunto is added an Elegy by a friend. This R. Werge died about Michaelmas 1687, and was buried in the Church of S. Mary at Gateshead.

Apr. 15. Rob. Gorges of S. Edm. Hall.—He was soon after made Fellow of S. Johns Coll. by the Visitors, became one of the Pro∣ctors of the Univ. in 1653, afterwards Secretary to H••n. Cromwell L. Lieutenant of Ireland, Doct. of the Civil Law of Dublin, and an enjoyer of several places of honor and trust, as also of an estate, in that Kingdom. At length he became Secretary to Frederick Duke of Schomberg General of his Majesties Forces, and Scout-master ge∣neral, in Ireland, &c.

Ambrose Ʋpton of New Inn, was created the same day.—He was soon after one of those many, that were this, and the next year, made Fellows of Alls. Coll. by the Visitors. In 1651 he be∣came, by the favour of Ol. Cromwell, Canon of Ch. Ch. in Oxon, in the place of Dr. John Mills ejected for refusing the Engagement; but being discharged of that place about the 13 of Mar. 1659 to make. room for the said Mills, then restored by the Rump Parl. and seclu∣ded Members added to them, he retired to London, and lived for some time there a Nonconformist. Afterwards he went into Ire∣land, got a place there belonging to the Customs, and lived in good fashion for several years. Afterwards returning into England, he concluded his last day at Lond. about 7 or 8 years since, and was buried at Ch. Ch. within Newgate in the said City, as I have been enformed by one of his perswasion, (a congregational man) who farther told me that he was of the antient family of the Ʋptons in Devonshire.

Jan. 6. George Kellam Secretary to the Committee of Lords and Com. for affairs of foreign concernment, the Navy and Customs, was then actually created by vertue of the Letters of the Chanc. of the University, which say that he is a Gent. whose parts and good af∣fections to the Cause are very considerable, and found no less useful in the way of his employment, &c.

Bach. of Phys.

Apr. 14. Thom. Sydenham of Magd. Hall.—He was soon after put in Fellow of Alls. Coll. by the Visitors.

There was but one more created, who was of Ch. Ch. and ran with all mutations, but good for nothing, and not worth the na∣ming, unless it be for his antient and gentile extraction.

Bach. of Div.

Apr. 12. Francis Cheynell of Mert. Coll. now one of the Visitors appointed by Parl. to reform the University, was then actually cre∣ated Bach. of Div.—This person was to have been Bach. of Div. in Decemb. 1641, but unjustly (as he said) kept back from his degree because he preached against Arminianisme, that is against the Kings Declaration, for which his Grace was then denied. It was then also (12 Apr. 1648.) desired and granted in Convocation that he might be declared Bach. of Div, he having performed his Exercise seven years before, and not lose his seniority, but be seated among the Bach. of Div. of that year, &c. The next day, when the Chancellour and Visitors, with a great rabble following them, went from Col∣lege to College to give the new Heads possession, they put this Mr. Cheynell into possession of the Presidents Lodgings in S. Johns Coll. See more in Hist. & Antiq. Ʋniv. Oxon, lib. 1. p. 403. a. b. 404. a.

Apr. 12. John Wilkins M. A. of Magd. Hall.—The next day the said Visitors gave him possession of the Wardens Lodgings of Wadham Coll.

Henry Langley M. A, Master of Pembr. Coll. and one of the six or seven Ministers appointed by Parliament to preach the Scholars in to obedience to them, was created the same day—On the 26 of Aug. 1647 he was made Master of the said Coll, by order of Parliament, and on the 8 of Oct. following, he was established therein by the Visitors. In 1648 he became Canon of Ch Ch, in the place of Dr. George Morley, by the same power, and had posses∣sion given to him thereof in this month of April. See more of him among the created Doctors of Div. an. 1649.

Henry Cornish M. A. of New Inn, another of the Ministers.—He was soon after put into possession of one of the Canonries of Ch. Ch. See in Hist. & Antiq. Univ. Ox. lib. 2. p. 260. a. See also among the created Doct. of Div. under the year 1649.

The said four Bachelaurs of Div. were presented to the Vicech. Dr. Reynolds, by Dr. Joh. Wilkinson Principal of Magd. Hall the se∣nior Theologist of the University and the design'd and nominated President of Magd. Coll.

• April 14. Rob. Rogers of New Inn.

May 19. Thom. Gilbert of S. Edm. Hall—This person, who hath written and published several things, and is now living in Oxon a Nonconformist, aged 80 years or more, is hereafter to be numbred among the Writers.

Aug 4. Thomas Borrace a Student in Divinity for at least twenty years, was then actually created—This zealous Presbyterian was now (1648) a forward Preacher up of the cause in the Church of S. Martin, and in that of Allsaints within the City of Oxon. His usual form of prayer for the King, before his Sermons, was, that if God took any pleasure in him, he would do so and so, &c. When he was created Bach. of Div. he took the oath of Allegiance, but with this salvo—I take this Oath so far forth as it doth not contradict the national Covenant.

Feb. 9. George Marshall M. of A. of S. Johns Coll. in Cambridge, a Student in Divinity for twenty years at least, Chaplain to the Garrison of Oxon belonging to the Parliament, and the designed and nominated Warden of New Coll, was then also created.

Johan Progulbicki born in the Province or Dukedome of Samo∣gitie in Poland, was created the same day—He was now, or at least lately, Deacon or Catechist of the Church of Keidun in the said Dukedome, and one of the Scholars of the illustrious Prince Janusius Radzevill the chief Fautor and Patron of the reformed Church in those part. This Progulbicki had spent before this time four years in several Universities in Germany and Holland.

Mar. 8. Isaac Knight Chaplain to Fairfax the Generalissimo of the Parliament Army.

Doct. of Law.

April 14. Samuel Aneley of Qu Coll.—This person, who wrot himself afterwards, and was called, by the name of Annesley, be∣cause it is the same with a noble name, hath written and published several things, and therefore he is to be remembred hereafter among the Oxford Writers. He is now, or at least was lately, living a Nonconformist Divine, either in, or near, London. See in Hist. & Antiq. Ʋniv. Oxon. lib. 1. p. 404. b.

Jan. 5. John Miils LL. Bach. one of the Visitors and Canon of Ch. Ch.—He had been lately Judge Advocate of the Parliament Army, and was this year put into possession of his Canonry, but in 1651 being turned out thence for denying the Oath called the Engagement, Ambr. Ʋpton succeeded, as I have before told you. On the 13. of March 1659 he was restored to his Canonry by the Rump Parliament, with the secluded members added to them, but soon after, upon his Majesties restauration, he was forced to leave it to make room for Dr. Edw. Pococke. See Hist. & Antiq. Ʋniv. Ox, lib. 2. p. 259. a. 261. a. Soon after, by the favour of Dr. Edward Reynolds, he became Chancellour of Norwich, and died in, or near Doctors Commons in London, about the beginning of the year 1676.

Doct. of Phys.

April 12. Joh. Palmer alias Vaulx Bach. of Phys, of Queens Coll, now a Recruiter of the Long Parliament, was actually created Doct. in the presence of the Chancellour—The next day he was put into possession of the Lodgings belonging to the Warden of Alls. Coll. by the said Chancellour and Visitors, Dr. Sheldon the Warden be∣ing then dismist by them and imprison'd. See Hist. & Antiq. Ʋniv. Ox. lib. 1. p. 402. b. 403. a.

Apr. 14. Tobie Garbrand alias Herks Bach. of Phys. and Principal of Gloc. Hall, was also actually created—In 1660 he being turn'd out from his Principality, he retired to Abendon in Berks, practised his faculty there, and dying 7. Apr. 1689, was buried in S. Helens Church in that Town.

Samuel Thompson of Magd. Hall—This person, who was Son of Will. Thomp. of Westbury in Wilts, Minister of Gods word, wrot Exercitations and Meditations on some texts of holy Scripture, and most in Scripture phrase and expression. Lond. 1676. oct. In the title of this book, he writes himself Master of Arts and Doct. of Physick, but whether he was Mast. of Arts of this University, it ap∣pears not in the publick register.

April 14. John French of New Inn.—I have spoken of him at large among the Writers.

Apr. 15. Peter Dormer of Magd. Hall—He was the fifth Son of Fleetwood Dormer of Grange in Bucks, and a Neighbour and Relation to the Earl of Caernarvan.

Feb. 9. Humphrey Whitmore of S. Maries Hall was then created by vertue of the Letters sent to the Convocation from Fairfax the

General, now Lord Fairfax, which say that he is a Physitian of note and eminency in those Cities and Towns where he hath lived,—and that he hath been a member of both Ʋniversities, &c.

Mar. 8. Abraham Huard alias Lomprè sometimes of the Univer∣sity of Caen in Normandy, was then created by vertue of the Chan∣cellours Letters, which say that his affections to the cause of the Par∣liament have exposed him to sufferings—That he is a Protestant of France, and his quality and sufferings have been made known to me by persons of honour, Gentlemen of quality and Physitians of this King∣dom, as also by one Mr. Joh. Despaigne one of the French Ministers of London, &c.

Doct. of Div.

Apr. 12. Edward Reynolds M. A. Dean of Ch. Church by order of Parliament, and actually put into possession of it by the breaking open the doors belonging to the Dean in the morn. of this day, by the Chancellour, Visitors and a band of the Soldiers of the Garrison of Oxon, was declared Doct. of Div, in a Convocation held in the af∣ternoon, by order of Parliament.—He was not presented Doctor according to the usual manner and custome, only stood near the Chancellours Chair while the order of the said Parliament was read∣ing: And the reason for this unusual way was, because there was no Vicechancellour, to whom he should be presented, and if he had been presented to the Chancellour, he could not have returned any Latine, for he understood it not. After the said order was read and he seated among the Doctors, another was produced, by vertue of which he was to be Vicechancellour: which being read, he was admitted by Sir Nathan. Brent, as I have before told you, in the be∣ginning of this year, and thereupon he took his place.

Apr. 12. Rob. Harris Bach. of Div. of Magd. Hall—The next day he was put into possession of the Presidents lodings of Trinity Coll, by the breaking open the doors thereof; a little before which time the old and loyal President had withdrawn himself to avoid imprisonment. Afterwards he removed his family to the said Lodg∣ings, but before they were setled there three quarters of a year, the new President employed a Painter to do some work there for him, in the week before that of the Act, if one had been solemnized, an. 1649. Which Painter pulling down some old boards and shelves, found two bags sealed, and a paper in the mouth of each, which signified that there was an 100 l. in each bag: And tho they were covered with dust about half an inch thick, yet Dr. Harris and his Wife (solely addicted to money and reformation) presently own'd them, and said confidently that they were theirs; but oportet men∣dacem esse memorem: For first he had not been setled in his Lodg∣ings scarce 3 quarters of a year, and the baggs were so old and overcovered with dust, as if they had laid there 40 years. Secondly, his Wife said at first that they were left there by a friend, who de∣sir'd her to lay them up, but she refused to take any charge of them, yet he told her he would leave them, and so hid them in that place where the Painter found them. Thirdly, on better consideration, Dr. Harris said that he himself laid them there, and that it was mo∣ney he designed for his Daughters: And tho no man believed him, yet he aver'd it verbo sacerdotis. This money being most probably left by Dr. Ralph Kettle sometimes President (who died in 1643) was claimed by his Executor, who, or Mr. Fanshaw Kettle for him, went to Dr. Harris and desired of him to see the baggs, for he knew his Uncles seal and hand-writing, but the old Gentleman who had the money in possession would neither shew baggs, or seal or writ∣ing; which was a manifest argument that they were none of his; For first if the baggs were of his sealing and superscribing, why did he not shew them to convince people, or what need he to have fear∣ed to shew his own hand and seal? Secondly if they were not of his sealing, why did he swear they were his? All these passages do ma∣nifestly shew that the money was not his but another mans, as in∣deed all people did think so, it being then the common discourse of Town and Country, and could not be convinc'd to the contrary. Doubtless if it had been his, Will. Durham his Kinsman, author of the said Dr. Harris his Life, would have made mention of, and vindicated the Doctor in, it, as in other matters of smaller account he hath done. A little before this discovery, was another made by the new President and Fellows of Magd. Coll. of 1400 l. in old gold or spurroyals by the breaking open a chest in their Treasury, which, tho originally deposited there by the Founder, pro litibus & placitis defendendis, (so 'tis said in the statutes of that House) etiam pro pos∣sessionibus si opus fuerit amplioribus acqu••rendis, & pro repentinis (quod absit) incendiis & ruinis maneriorum, &c. yet upon pretence of knowing no such statute, they shared the said summ of money among them, Hen. Wilkinson senior, one of the Visitors and then Vicepresident of the Coll, being the chief man that promoted that affair. And in the next week following (in July) Dr. Reynolds the Vicechancellour and the two Proctors, whose hands also did in a grievous manner itch after money, would needs have broken open Bodlies chest, but being disswaded by Mr. John Rouse the chief Li∣brary keeper, who had lately a key thereof and had told and assur'd them that nothing was therein, they forbore. The next day also came one of the new Savilian professors, scarce warm in his place, I mean him, who before had been a witness (*) 1.25 against Archbishop Laud in order to bring him to his Trial and consequently to the Block, and the same who was successively a preacher up of treason and rebellion in two Churches in London in the time of the Presby∣terian rebellion; I say that he, with Ralph Button Can. of Ch. Ch. his Guide and a poor spirited person, did go to the same Mr. Rouse

for the Key of Sir Hen. Saviles chest, but after they knew he had it not, and that there was no money in it, they did not break it open, tho they said they would and came for that purpose. These things I am the more punctual to relate, that the world might know, that the said persons, who call'd themselves the Saints of God, minded more and sought after the bread, livelyhood, being and money of other persons, than reformation which they according to Ordinance and their own consciences ought to have done.

• Ap. 12. Humph. Chambers of Ʋniv. Coll.
• Ap. 12. .... Caldicot a Minister.

Of the first is large mention made among the Writers under the year 1662. The other, whose Christian name I cannot yet recover, was an obscure man, a Covenantier and one that was lately possest of a rich Benefice belonging to a loyal person ejected.

Edward Corbet Master of Arts of Mert. Coll, was created the same day—He was born at Pontsbury in Shropshire, of the antient fa∣mily of the Corbets in that County, was admitted Probationer Fel∣low of the said Coll. 1624, took the degrees in Arts, became one of the Proctors of the University, an. 1638, married Margaret the Daughter of Sir Nathan. Brent, turned with the times, being al∣ways puritannically affected, made one of the Ass. of Divines, a preacher before the Long Parliament, one of the Preachers in Oxon 1646 to preach the loyal Scholars into obedience to the Parliament, (but quitted that employment soon after, whereby that duty laid on the shoulders of six only) one of the Visitors of the University, (yet seldome or never sate among them) Orator and Canon of Ch. Ch. in the room of Dr. Hen. Hammond, (which two places he soon after threw up, as being a person of conscience and honesty) and at length Rector of Great Haseley in Oxfordshire, in the place, as 'twas said, of Dr. Tho. Some, where he continued to the time of his death. He hath written and published Gods Providence, Sermon before the House of Commons at their Fast, 28. Dec. 1642 on 1. Cor. 1.27. Lond. 1647. qu. There goes under the name of Edw. Corbet a little book called The Worldlings Looking-glass: or the danger of loosing his Soul for gain. Printed 1630 oct. but I cannot tell whether our Edw. Corbet was the author of it, because I have not yet seen the book it self. He departed this mortal life at London on the 5. of Januar. 1657 aged 55 years or thereabouts, and was buried on the 14 day of the same month, near the body of his late beloved Wife, in the Chancel of Great Haseley before mention'd: Over whose grave he the said Dr. Corbet had before laid a large Marble stone.

• Ap. 14. Christop. Rogers M. A, Principal of New Inn and one of the Visitors.
• Ap. 14. .... Harding Rector of Brinkworth in Wilts.

The first of these two was about the same time put into actual pos∣session of a Canonry of Ch. Ch. by the Visitors, (in the place of Dr. Rich. Gardiner ejected) according to an order of Parl. bearing date in the beginning of Mar. 1647. This person when he usually preach∣ed at S. Maries this year, before his Majesty was beheaded, he would in his long prayer before Sermon desire that God would open the Kings eyes to lay to heart all the blood that he had spilt, &c. that he would prosper the Parliament and their blessed proceedings, &c. He ••as a person of most reverend aspect, yet of no parts, only had a plain way of preaching to please Women and ignorant People. He was an easie man and apt to be guided by the perswasions of others, and therefore by Cheynell and Wilkinson Senior, two violent and im∣petuous Presbyterians he was put into the roll of Visitors, meerly to make a nose of wax of him. The other, ...Harding was a most violent Presbyterian, an indefatigable Preacher against the King and his cause, and because he would not conform after his Majesties re∣stauration, tho courted to it, he was turned out of his Rectory.

This year the generality of the Heads of Houses, Professors and Lecturers, Doctors and Bach. of Divinity, Masters and Bachelaurs of Arts, Undergraduats, Beadles, College Servants, and sometimes Bedmakers and scrapers of Trenchers, to the number of several hun∣dreds, were thrown out of their respective places, and soon after banished the University by the Visitors, for not submitting to their power from Parliament and acknowledging their Covenant, &c.

• An. Dom. 1649.
• An. 1. Car. 2.

Chanc. Philip Earl of Pemb. and Mountgomery, who dying at the Cock-pit near Whitehall, on the 23 of January this year, was buried in the Cathedral Church at Salisbury among the graves of those of his family on the 8. of Febr. following: From which time till Jan. ensuing, the Chancellours place laid void. Soon after the said Earls death came out against him several Satyrical prints, among which were (1) His last Will and Testament, Printed in one sheet in fol, (2) Pembrokes Pass from Oxford to his grave. 'Tis a Poem printed on one side of a sheet of paper, and hath this beginning, Hence Mountebank of honour, hence away, &c. At the end is his Epitaph. (3) The life and death of Philip Herbert, the late infamous Knight of Berkshire, once Earl of Pembroke and Mountgom. &c. having by a degenerate baseness betrayed his Nobility, and entred himself a Com∣moner amongst the very scum of the people. Printed in one sheet in qu. by way of interlude, with Poetry.

Vicechanc. Edw. Reynolds D. D. Dean of Ch. Ch. was re-ad∣mitted Aug. 30, having been nominated a little before by the Chan∣cellour.

Proct.

• ... Joh. Maudit of Exet. Coll. Apr. 4.
• ... Hierome Zanchy of Alls. Coll. Apr. 4.

The last was elected contrary to the Caroline Cycle, because it did appoint Queens Coll, to joyn with the said Coll. of Exeter; but so it was that that Coll. being not in a capacity of yielding a per∣son zealous and sutable to the times, the members of Alls. therefore did choose, by recommendations of the Committee and Visitors, one of their number lately made Fellow thereof, but whether incor∣porated M. of Arts, as he had stood in another University, it ap∣pears not in the publick register, and therefore what I have to say of him shall be set down. here. This Hierome Zanchy, who was born of a gentile family, was bred in Cambridge, but being more given to manlie exercises than Logick and Philosophy, he was ob∣served by his contemporaries to be a boisterous fellow at Cudgelling and Foot-ball-playing, and indeed more fit in all respects to be a rude Soldier than a Scholar or man of polite parts. In the beginning of the rebellion, he threw off his gown, and took up armes for the Parliament, and soon after became a Captain, a Presbyterian, an Independent, a Preacher, and I know not what. When the War was ceased, and the Kings cause declined, he obtained a Fellowship of Alls. Coll. from the Committee and Visitors, and was the first, or senior, of those many, that were by them put into the said Coll, in the places of Loyallists ejected by them an. 1648 and 49. But before he had served the least part of his Proctorship (about a month only) he returned to his Military employment, went in the quality of a Commander into Ireland to fight against those that were then called Rebels; and doing good service in short time was made a Colonel of a Regiment of Horse, and as a Colonel he had 474 l. and 10 s. per an. for his Salary, besides other advantages. In 1651 and 52, I find him Commander in chief of the Parliament forces in the County of Tipperary, where, as those of his party said, he did excellent service for the cause, being then a thorough-pac'd Anabap∣tist, and in 1654 he, with Joh. Reynolds Commissary General, were elected Knights for the Counties of Tipperary and Waterford to serve in the Parliament that assembled at Dublin that year. In 1658, he being then a Knight by the favour of Hen. Cromwell, he was, by the endeavours of Col. Charles Fleetwood a pitiful Anabaptist and Son-in-law to Ol. Cromwell, chosen Burgess for Woodstock in Oxfordshire to serve in Richards Parliament that began at Westm. 27. Jan. that year; at which time living much, as he had done some time be∣fore, in the house of the said Fleetwood in Westminster, did often hold forth in Conventicles among the Anabaptists. It was observed then that he was a dull man, as indeed he was ab origine, for by his rebaptization when he went into Ireland, and his herding among the Anabaptists, he did improve it to the purpose, otherwise had he continued among the Presbyterians or Independents who were accounted a more ingenious sort of people, he might have improv∣ed himself perhaps in something of ingenuity. Under this person•• name was published (1) A Sermon on 1. of John 2.18, &c. printed in oct. but when I know not, for I have not yet seen it. (2) Speech in Parliament in Dublin, printed in Sir Will. Petty's book intit. Re∣flections upon some persons and things in Ireland, &c. p. 70 71 &c. It is a most rude and nonsensical thing, and only fit to be read to make people laugh at the absurdity of the person. See more in Sir Will. Petty among the Writers, an. 1687. p. 611. where you'll find this Zanchy to concern himself much, meerly out of envy, against that curious and polite Gentleman. What other things he hath ex∣tant I cannot tell, nor any thing else of him, only that he died in Ireland about the latter end of K. Charles 2. as I have been inform∣ed by those that knew him.

Coll.—He was the Son of John Ladyman of Dinton in Bucks, became a poor Scholar or Servitour of the said Coll, in Lent term 1642 aged 17 years, and in 1648 sub∣mitting to the authority of the Visitors, he was by them made that year Fellow thereof, in a Lincolnshire place. Soon after he became a frequent Preacher in these parts, and being a noted per∣son among the Presbyterians he received a Call and forthwith went into Ireland and was beneficed there. He hath published The dan∣gerous rule, Sermon preached at Clonmel in the Province of Moun∣ster in Ireland before the Judges, on 2. Sam. 19.29. Lond. 1658 in tw. and perhaps other things, which is all I know of him.

Nov. 24. Henry Chapman of Magd. Hall—This Bachelaur, who was well advanc'd in years, was admitted Mast. by order of the Presb. Delegates of the University, who were well satisfied with the testimonial Letters of John Wallis the Mathematick Professor, written in his behalf to them, wherein he doth abundantly com∣mend the said Chapmans ingenuity, industry and knowledg in va∣rious tongues.

• Nov. 27. Edm. Dickenson of Mert. Coll.
• 29. Edw. Wood or à Wood of Mert. Coll.

Dec. 13. Thom. Careles of Ball. Coll.—He was the Son of Phi∣lip Careles of Lothbury near the Royal Exchange in London, became a Student of the said Coll. in the beginning of the year 1640 aged 15 years, and was afterwards Scholar and Fellow, and in the last year, did submit, as I conceive, to the power of the Visitors. In 1651, he being then esteemed an ingenious man, as indeed he was, he was made choice of to be Terrae filius with Will. Levinz of S. Johns Coll. to speech it in the Act celebrated that year, being the first Act that was kept after the Presbyterians had taken possession of the University, and soon after, having obtained the name of a florid Preacher among the remnant of the Royalists in the Univer∣sity by his preaching often in S. Aldates Church, he was preferr'd to be Rector of Barnsley, and afterwards to be Vicar of Cirencester, in Glocestershire. He hath published A Sermon preached at the Cath. Ch. in Glocester on S. Georges day, on which day his Majesty was so∣lemnly crown'd, on Psal. 21.3. Lond▪ 1661. qu. What other things he hath published I know not, nor any thing else of him, only that he dying 7. Octob. 1675 was buried in his Church at Cirencester.

• Mar. 11. Edm. Hall of Pembr. Coll.
• 14. Henry Hickman of Magd. Coll.

The last was originally of Cambridge, whence going to Oxon, when Bachelaur of Arts, he entred himself into Magd. Hall, and in 1648 he was made Fellow of Magd. Coll. by the Visitors. He was afterwards a noted Writer, a person of great repute among those of the Presbyterian perswasion, and is now living in Holland and therefore to be remembred hereafter among Oxford Writers.

Admitted 39. or thereabouts.

Bach. of Phys.

Not one was admitted only three created and one incorpo∣rated.

The famous Mountebank of his time called Joh. Puntaeus an Ita∣lian and a Chymical Physitian, who, for many years before this, had exercised his Art in several places within this Kingdom, had li∣cense given to him to practice chirurgery throughout all England,

Nov. 16. After his Maj. restauration he lived at Salisbury and died rich and full of years.

☞ Not one Bach. of Div. or Doct. of Law was admitted, only created and incorporated; as I shall tell you by and by.

Doct. of Phys.

June 8. Francis Barksdale of Magd. Coll.—This person, who was lately made Fellow of that Coll. by the Visitors, was then ad∣mitted by the favour of Fairfax the Gen. and Cromwell the Lieut. Gen. lately at Oxon, but with this condition that he perform all exercise requisite for the said degree, within an year after his ad∣mission.

It was also their pleasure that Will. Hill sometimes of Mert. Coll, might accumulate the degrees of Bach. and Doct. of Physick, but whether he did so, it appears not.

July 14. Daniel Malden M. of A. of Qu. Coll. in Cambr. who had studied Physick 7 years at least, and had read his solemn Le∣cturers in the School of Medicine, was then admitted by vertue of the Letters of the Chancellour of this Universe, which say that he was recommended to him by the Lord General—that he had improved his studies by travelling abroad—that he is affected to the cause, and that he hath engaged himself and shed blood for the Parlia∣ment, &c.

Oct. 30. Gedeon Chabraeus a Student in Phys. (commended to the chief members of the University with great Elogies) who had learnedly and laudably performed his exercise for the degree of Doct. of Physick, was then admitted in the House of Convocation—I find one Dr. Shawbry a Physitian of Cambridge to have been buried in the Church of S. Peter in the East in Oxon, 22 Nov. 1643, but what relation there was between him and the former I cannot tell, because their names differ.

Doct. of Div.

April 6. Michael Roberts Bach. of Div. and lately made Principal of Jesus Coll, by the Committee of Parliament for the reformation of the University, was then presented and admitted without Scio's or Deponents for his abilities, because there wanted Doct. of Div. to do that office.—He resigned his Principality into the hands of Oliver the Protector an. 1657, lived many years after obscurely (yet rich) in Oxon, and dying in the Parish of S. Peter in the East 3. May 1679, was buried in the yard belonging to that Church, close to the wall, under the upper window of the body of the Church. He hath written in Lat. An Elegy on George Duke of Albemarle Lond. 1670. qu. which is all, as I conceive, that he hath published.

INCORPORATIONS.

The Incorporations this year were mostly of Cambridge men, who came to Oxford for preferment from the Committee and Vi∣sitors.

Bach. of Arts.

April 24. Joh. Billingsley, lately of S. Johns Coll. in Cambr. and Bach. of Arts of one years standing there—On the 28 of the said month of Apr. he was admitted M. of A. as I have before told you.

May 23. Ant. Radcliff Bach. of Arts of Magd Coll. in Cambr.—He was lately made Student of Ch. Ch. by the Visitors. See among the Doct. of Div. under the year 1681.

26. Jam. Bedford B. of A. of two years standing of Eman. Coll. in Cambr.—Of this person, who was lately made one of the junior Fellows of Qu. Coll. in this Univ, by the Visitors, you may see more among the Bach. of Div. under the year 1657.

Oct. 16. Joh. Johnson of two years standing Bach. of Eman. Coll.—He was lately made Fellow of S. Johns Coll. in this Univ. by the Visitors, and in the year following Fellow of New Coll. See more among the Masters under the year 1650.

Besides these four were 7 more incorporated, that were about this time prefer'd to Fellowships in this University by the Committee and Visitors.

Mast. of Arts.

May 8. Tho. Lye or Leigh M. A. of Cambr.—He was about this time Chapl. of Wadh. Coll.

Oct. 10. Samuel Cradock M. A. Fellow of Eman. Coll.—This person, who did not go to Oxon for preferment, as I conceive, be∣cause I find him not Fellow of any House there, was afterwards Bach. of Div. and Rector of North Cadbury in Somersetshere by the gift of the Master and Society of his Coll, about 1656. Among several things that he hath written and published are these (1) The harmony of the four Evangelists, and their text methodized according to the order and series of times, wherein the entire history of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, is methodically set forth. Lond. 1668. 69. fol. (2) The Apostolical History; containing the Acts, Labours, Tra∣vels, Sermons, Discourses, &c. of the holy Apostles from Christs As∣cension to the destruction of Jerusalem by Titus, &c. Lond. 1672. 73. fol. (3) Knowledge and practice: or, a plain discourse of the chief things necessary to be known, believed and practised, in order to Sal∣vation, &c. Ibid. 1673. qu. sec. or third edit. (4) A supplement to knowledge and practice: wherein the main things necessary to be known and believed in order to salvation are more fully explained, and seve∣ral new directions given for the promoting of real holiness both of heart and life. Lond. 1679. qu. (5) A serious diss••asive from some of the reigning and customary sins of the times, viz. Swearing, lying,

pride, gluttony, drunkenness, uncleanness, &c. Ibid. 1679. qu. In the title to the said last two books 'tis said that the author was Late Rector of North Cadbury, so I suppose he was dead before 1679.

• Oct. 23. Joh. Wallis Geometry Prof. of the Univ. of Oxon,
• Oct. 23. Seth Ward Astronomy Prof. of the Univ. of Oxon,

The first of these two was originally of Eman. Coll. in Cambridge and after Fellow of that of Queens, in the same University, then Minister of S. Martins Church in Ironmonger-lane, and after of that of Gabriel Fen-church, in London, in the time of the Presbyterian rebellion, from both which Churches had certain Loyalists been eje∣cted; and having procured an order from the Committee for the reformation of the University of Oxon, dated 14. June 1649, whereby he was established Geom. Profess in the place of the most learned and loyal Dr. Peter Turner a little before ejected, (who afterwards died obscurely) did go to Oxon, and there was admitted to his place on the same day he was incorporated M. of A. As for the other, Ward, who was admitted also the same day to his Professorship, after incorporation, I have made mention at large among the Wri∣ters.

Jan. 18. Joshua Sprigge M. A. of Edinburgh—He was lately one of those many that was put in Fellow of Alls. Coll. by the Visitors.

Besides these five were six or more of Cambridge incorporated, who all (one excepted) had gotten places in Colleges.

Bach. of Phys.

Only one was incorporated, named Joh. Arnold Bach. of Physick of Leyden, May 24.—This person, who was originally an Apothe∣caries boy, and had with great shift got to be Bach. of Physick at Leyden, was put in Fellow of Mert. Coll, by the Visitors in Feb. fol∣lowing, an. 1649.

Bach. of Div.

Apr. 24. Nath. Hoyle Bach. of Div. of Dublin—He was in the year before made Fellow of Brasn. Coll. by the Visitors, but what were his merits or learning I cannot tell.

Aug. 30. Sam. Syllesbie Bach. of Div. of Qu. Coll. in Cambr.—Nor of him.

Joh. Worthington B. D. of Eman. Coll. in the same University, was incorporated the same day—He was afterwards Master of Jesus Coll. there, in the times of Usurpation, being then esteemed by all a Presbyterian, Doctor of Divinity, and Rector of S. Bennet Fink in London, which he kept till the Church was burn'd down in the grand conflagration which hapned in Lond. in the beginning of Sept. 1666. He hath written (1) A form of sound words: or a scripture Catechisme, shewing what a Christian is to believe and practice in order to salvation. Lond. 1673. 74. &c. oct. It was licensed for the press 8. Nov. 1672, at which time the author was dead. (2) The great duty of self-resignation to the divine will. Lond. 1675. &c. oct. (3) The doctrine of the resurrection, and the reward to come, considered, as the grand motives to an holy life. Discoursed of from 1. Cor. 15.58. Lond. 1689. 90. (4) Charitas Evangelica: A discourse of Christian love. Lond. 1691, oct. published by the authors Son.

Doct. of Phys.

July 14. Lewis du Moulin Doct. of Physick of the University of Leyden (incorporated in the same degree at Cambridge, 10. Oct. 1634) was incorporated in the same degree at Oxon—This person, who was a French man born, and Son of the famous Peter du Moulin a French Protestant, was lately establish'd Cam∣dens Professor of History in this University by the Committee of Parliament for the reformation thereof. After the restauration of his Majesty, he was turned out of his Professorship by his Majesties Commissioners, for the regulating of the University: Whereupon retiring to the City of Westminster, lived there a most violent Nonconformist. The books that he hath written are these (1) Epistola ad Renatum Veridaeum (i. e. Andream Rive∣tum) in qua aperitur Mysterium iniquitatis novissimè in Angliâ redivivum, & excutitur liber Josephi Hall, quo asseritur episcopa∣tum esse juris divini. Eleutheropoli (alias Lond.) 1641. qu. Pub∣lished under the name of Irenaeus Philadelphus. An answer to this book written by the said Joseph Hall Bishop of Exeter, came out soon after entit. Theophili Iscani ad calumniosam Ir. Philadelphi Epistolam responsio. Quâ Anglicanae Ecclesiae sana fides pietasque, & episcopalis 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 institutio Apostolico-divina, à D. Jos. Hallo Exon. Episcopo pridem defensa, asseritur. Lond. 1641. qu. (2) Apo∣logia pro Epistola ad Renat. Veridaeum. Lond. 1641. qu. (3) The power of the Christian Magistrate in sacred things, &c. Lond. 1650. oct. (4) Oratio auspicalis: cui subjuncta est Laudatio Clariss. Viri Guil. Camdeni. Oxon. 1652. qu. Dedicated to Joh. Owen Dean of Ch. Ch. in Oxon. (5) Paraenesis ad Aedificatores imperii in imperio, in qua defenduntur jura Magistratus adversus Moseum Amyraldum, & caeteros Vindices potestatis ecclesiasticae Presbyterianae. In praefa∣tione excurritur in Joh. Dallaei Apologiam pro duabus Synodis. Lond. 1656. Dedicated to Oliver Cromwell. It was the opinion then of some eminent and judicious persons, that the said book did give a notable blow to those severe ones of the Presbyterian way, who build a jurisdiction within a jurisdiction: And also that it did conduce to the uniting of all interests, rendring the Magistrate his due, and stating the right of Churches. (6) Corollarium ad Pa∣raenesim suam ad Aedificatores imp. in imp. &c. Lond: 1657. oct. (7) Epistola ad Amicum, in qua gratiam divinam, seque defendit, adversus objecta clariss. Viri Johan. Dallaei in prefatione libri in Epicritam. Ibid. 1658. in tw. (8) Of the right of Churches and

of the Magistrates Power over them. Wherein it further made out, first, the nullity and vanity of ecclesiastical power, &c. secondly, the absurdity of the distinctions of power and laws in ecclesiastical and civil, &c. Ibid. 1658. oct. Dedicated to the Parliament of Eng∣land. (9) Proposals and reasons whereon some of them are groun∣ded, humbly presented to the Parliament towards the setling of a re∣ligious and godly government in a Commonwealth: with a short ac∣count of the compatibility of the congregational way, with the Ma∣gistrates ordering all-matters of religion in a national publick way, &c. Lond. 1659. qu. (10) Morum exemplar seu characteres, &c. Hag. Com. 1662 in tw. (11) Patronus bonae fidei, in causa Puri∣tanorum, contra Hierarchos Anglos: ut disceptatur in specimine con∣futationis vindiciarum clariss. Viri Joh. Durelli, &c. Lond. 1672 oct. See in Joh. Durell among the Writers, under the year 1683. p. 553. That this book (Patronus, &c.) might escape the searchers of the Press, (as the author saith in his Admonitio) he was for∣ced five times to change the running title of the book and the number of pages, each new title beginning with a new number. The titles are (after two Admonitions to the Reader) 1. Praefatio sive epistola ad rev. Pastores Ecclesiarum reformat in Gallia, &c. 2. Specimen confutationis Vindiciarum Durellianarum. 3. Prodro∣mus. 4. Defensor Veritatis, and then Patronus bonae fidei. For the writing and publishing of this book he was committed to Custody. (12) Jugulum causae: seu nova, unica, compendiaria, unâ propemodum periodo comprehensa, ratio: per quam totus do∣ctrinarum Romanensium complexus, de quibus lis est inter protestan∣tes & Pontificios, &c. Lond. 1671. oct. To this are prefix'd about 60 Epistles to several persons. (13) Papa Ʋltrajectinus. (14) Fascieulus. (15) A short and true account of the several Ad∣vances the Church of England hath made towards Rome: or a mo∣del of the grounds, upon which the Papists for these 100 years, have built their hopes and expectations, that England would ere long return to Popery.

Lond. 1680. qu. (16) The conformity of the discipline and government of those who are commonly called Independents to that of the antient Primitive Christians. Ibid. 1680. qu. (17) Mo∣ral reflections upon the number of the Elect; proving plainly from Scripture evidence, &c. that not one in a hundred thousand (nay pro∣bably not one in a Million) from Adam down to our times, shall be saved. Ibid. 1680. qu. To this, one Edw. Lane (mention'd in the F••sti 1639) made a quick answer entit. Mercy triumphant, &c. (18) His last words, being his retraction of all the personal refle∣ctions he had made on the Divines of the Church of England (in se∣veral of his) signed by himself on the 5 and 17 of Oct. 1680. Lond. 1680. in 2 sh. and an half in qu. Published after his death by Dr. Gilb. Burnet as it seems. The chief Divines that he had abused were Dr. Edward Stillingfleet Dean of S. Pauls, now Bishop of Worcester, Dr. Joh. Durell Dean of Windsor and Dr. Simon Patrick Dean of Peterborough now Bishop of Ely. (19) An additional ac∣count of the Church of Englands advances towards Porery. This was published by a Fanatick after the authors death, without the knowledge of his Wife or other Relations. See His last words, p. 15.16. (20) An Appeal to all the Nonconformists in England to God and all the Protestants, in order to manifest their sincerity in point of obedience to God and the King. Lond. 1681. qu. (21) A so∣ber and unpassionate Reply to the Author of The lively picture of Lewis du Moulin—Printed with the Appeal. (22) An Ecclesia∣stical History. The design of this being known to several of his perswasion before his death, the book it self came afterwards into the hands of a Nonconformist; which, whether published, I know not. See more in His last words p. 17. He also fil'd, smooth'd and polished a book entit. Celeusma, &c. written mostly by Will. Jenkins, of whom I have made mention in John Durell among the Writers an. 1683. What other books this Lew. du Moulin hath written I know not, nor any thing else of him, only that he was a fiery, violent and hot-headed Independent, a cross and ill na∣tur'd man, and dying on the 20 of Octob. 1680 aged 77 years, was buried within the precincts of the Church of S. Paul in Covent Garden, within the Liberty of Westminster, in the Parish of which he had before lived several years.

CREATIONS.

The Creations this year were made in all faculties, especially in that Creation called by some the Fairfaxian Creation, that is that Creation which was made when the Lord Fairfax Generalis∣simo of the Parliam. Army and his Lieut. Gen. Cromwell were crea∣ted Doctors of Law, and when others afterwards were created by the said Generals nomination when he was entertained by the then Members of the University.

Bach. of Arts.

May 19. Robert Scrope, lately made Fellow of Linc. Coll. by the Visitors, was then actually created Bach. of Arts, being done in the same Convocation that Fairfax and Cromwell were created Doctors of the Civil Law, as I shall tell you by and by.—He was a younger son of Adrian Scrope of Wormesley in Oxfordshire Esq, some∣times a Gent. Com. of Hart Hall, and afterwards a noted Puritan, which made him take up Arms for the blessed Cause in the begin∣ning of the Presbyterian Rebellion; in which being first a Captain was at length a Colonel of a Regiment of Horse. When K. Ch. 1. of ever blessed memory was tried for his life by a pack of Hell-Hounds, this person sate and was one of his Judges in that dismal

Tragedy, and afterwards signed the bloody Warrant for severing his head from his body. Just after his Majesties restauration Sir Rich. Browne (soon after elected L. Mayor of Lond.) did acciden∣tally meet him in the Speakers Chamber, (to whom, I suppose, he came to surrender himself upon his Maj. Proclamation) and when the said R. Browne was acquainted who he was, he drew up, and said, to him, What a sad case have we brought this Kingdom unto? Whereupon Scrope answer'd Why? Saith Browne then, Do you not see how it is ruined, now the King is murthered? &c. To which Scrope made answer, I will not make you my Confessor, or words to the same effect. All which being witnessed against him at his Tryal, as words to justifie what he had done, Browne being then L. Mayor elect, were the chief Cause of his Execution, otherwise, as 'twas then thought, he would only have suffer'd perpetual imprison∣ment and the loss of his Estate, as many others of the same Gang did. He suffer'd by hanging, drawing and quartering, with Tho. Scot, Greg. Clement and Joh. Jones, at Charing Cross on the 17 of Octob. 1660: Whereupon his Quarters were not hanged up as others were, but given to his Relations to be buried. His death was then much pityed by many, because he was a comely person, beg'd the Prayers of all good people, and that he was of a noble and antient family, being descended from the Scropes Barons of Bolton. After his death were printed under his name his Speech and Prayer spoken at the Gallows.

May 31. Aubrey Thompson of Qu. Coll.—He was then created by the favour of Fairfax and Cromwell lately in Oxon.

Jul. 14. Franc. Blackwall an Assistant to, or an Officer about, a Captain in the Parl. Army.—He is stiled in the common Register Optimae indolis & eruditionis Adolescens. In 1657 I find one Capt. Blackwall to be Treasurer of the Army; whether the same I can∣not tell.

Mar. 14. Edw. Reynolds lately of Merton, now of Magdalen Coll.—He was about this time made Fellow of Magd. Coll. by the Visi∣tors. See among the Doct. of Div. an. 1676.

20. Brook Bridges of Gl••c. Hall, lately a Student of Trin. Coll. in Cambr.—He was son of Coll. John Bridges Governour of War∣wick, and was about this time made Fellow of New Coll. by the Visitors.

Bach. of Law.

Jun. 5. Ʋnton Croke a Captain in the Parl. Army was then cre∣ated by vertue of a Dispensation from the Delegates of the Uni∣versity.—This person, who was son of Ʋnton Croke of Merston near Oxon, Counsellour at Law (descended from the antient family of the Crokes of Chilton in Bucks.) had been made a Captain or at least a Lieutenant for his ventrous service done in seizing on and carrying away with his party (to Abendon Garrison where he was a Soldier) many horses belonging to the Royalists of Oxford Gar∣rison, while they were grazing in the meadows joyning on the east side to Magd. Coll. He was afterwards a Major, and in 1658 made High Sheriff of Oxfordshire by Richard and his Council, and soon after a Colonel of a Regiment of Horse. This is the Gentle∣man, who became infamous to the Royalists and all true generous Hearts for his falsness in denying and breaking the Articles which he had made with the truly loyal Col. Joh. Penruddock when he and his party were taken by him and his at South Molton in Devonshire, 15 March 1654, (after they had retreated from Salisbury where they first rose) at which time they endeavour'd, but in vain, to redeem the Kingdom from Slavery and Tyranny. For this Service done by Croke, his father was called to the degree of Serjeant at Law by Oliver, by a Writ bearing date 21 of June following, and he himself, if I mistake not, to that of Major of a Reg. of Horse. After his Majesties restauration, when he and his Reg. were dis∣banded, he was shun'd and hated by Gentlemen and Royallists where he abode, whether in D••vonshire, (from whence he marri∣ed his wife) at Cheddington in Bucks, in Oxford, or at the Wick in the Parish of Hedington near Oxon, or elsewhere. He is now, or at least was lately, living in a gouty condition, at or near London. He has a younger brother named Charles Croke sometimes Com. of Ch. Ch, who, after he had taken many rambles, been a Soldier and seen the vanities of the World, published Youths Ʋnconstancy, &c. Lond. 1667. oct.

Dec. 18. Rob. King lately made Fellow of Alls. Coll. by the Visi∣tors, was created by vertue of an order from the Delegates of the University.—This person, who was a younger son of Sir Rob King Kt, Commissary of the Musters in Ireland in the time of the Lord Lieut. Hen. Cromwell, was after his Majesties restauration made a Baronet, and elected several times a Parliament-man in that King∣dom. He had an elder brother called Henry who was also made Fellow of Alls. Coll. by the Visitors, and another elder than he na∣med John, who was by King Ch. 2. made Baron of Kingston in the same Kingdom.

Jan. 18. Peter Pett of Alls. Coll. was admitted by vertue of an Order from the said Delegates.

Besides the three before mention'd, Rowl. Hunt who had been lately made Fellow of the said Coll, was created also this year, which is all I know of him, only that he was a Salopian born.

Mast. of Arts.

Those that were created this year Masters of Arts, were mostly Officers that attended Fairfax the General and Cromwell his Lieut. Gen. to Oxon, when they were invited thither by the then Mem∣bers of the University, to see what a Godly Reformation the Com∣mittee and Visitors had made therein.

May 19. Sir Hardress Waller Kt, was the first that was presented

by Zanchy the junior Proctor: which being done, he was conduct∣ed up to Cromwell (just before presented to the degree of Dr. of the Civ. Law) sitting on the left hand of him that then held the Chan∣cellours chair (Dr. Chr. Rogers Deput. Vicechanc.) and with due Ceremony was seated on his left side.—This person was son and heir of George Waller of Groombridge in Kent Esq, by Mary his wife daugh. of Rich. Hard••ess Esq, Relict of Sir Will. Ashenden Kt; (which George was elder brother to Sir Thom. Waller, father of Sir Will. Waller, lately one of the Parl. Generals, mention'd among the Writers, an. 1668. p. 297.) and marrying with the daugh. and co-heir of Sir Joh. Dowdall or Dovedall of Limerick in Ireland Kt, en∣joyed fair inheritances by her, and spent most of his time, there. In the beginning of the grand Rebellion he was a Royalist in opi∣nion, but with the more gainfuller times he turn'd Presbyt••••ian, and at length a strong Independent, and thereupon was made a Committee-man, and afterwards a Colonel of Horse. He had been lately one of the Judges of K. Ch. 1, and sate when Sentence past upon him for his decollation; for which service he was afterwards made Major Gen. of the Army in Ireland: Where continuing till the revolution of affairs brought Monarchy again into England, he did, upon the issuing out of the Kings Proclamation, surrender himself to mercy: Whereupon being brought to his trial, for having a hand in the murther of his said Prince, he shew'd very great reluctancy for what he had done, and was thereupon conveyed from his pri∣son in the Tower to the Isle of Wight, there to continue during his life, an. 1660 aged 56 years. Whither he was afterwards remo∣ved thence I cannot tell, nor where he died.

May 19. Colonel Tho. Harrison was presented next by Zanchy, and conducted by him on the other side.—This person, who was the son of a Butcher or Grasier of Newcastle under Line in Stafford∣shire, was, after he had been educated in some Grammar Learn∣ing, placed with one Hulke or Hulker an Attorney of Cliffords Inn, and when out of his time, became a kind of a Pettisogger as 'tis said; but finding little profit thence, he betook himself, from the pen, to the sword in the Parliament Army when they first raised a Rebel∣lion against their King; and having a tongue well hung, he did, by his enthusiastical Preaching and great pretence to piety, so far in∣sinuate himself with the deluded Army, that he pass'd from one Command to another till he attained to be a Major and a great Confident of Ol. Cromwell, and so consequently his close friend in breaking the Presbyterian faction in both Houses, in depriving them of their King, and at length in bringing him to the block, as by these particulars it doth appear. First, he was the person ap∣pointed by Oliver, or at least the Adjutators of the Army, to go to Hurst Castle where the King was Prisoner, to the end that he should enform the Governour thereof that he deliver his Majesty up▪ to a party of Horse that should be ready to receive him, in order to his conveyance to Windsore Castle, and so to Westminster to be tried. This was by Harrison done about the 15 of Dec. 1648, for on the 21 following he was conveyed thence towards Windsore. See more in Jam. Harrington among the Writers, an. 1677. p. 438. Se∣condly, that after his Majesty had left Hurst Castle and was con∣veyed from Milford, three miles distant thence, by a party of the Rebels Horse to Winchester, and thence to Alton and so to Alresford, this Major Harrison appeared in the head of another party between that place and Farnham to the end that he might bring up the rear. His party was drawn up in good order, by which his Maj. was to pass, and the Major in the head of them gallantly mounted and armed, with a Velvet Montier on his head, and a new Buff-coat on his back, with a Crimson silk Scarf about his waist richly fring'd. The King as he passed by on horse-back with an easie pace, as de∣lighted to see men well hors'd and arm'd, the Major gave the King a bow with his head, Alla soldad, which his Majesty requited. This was the first time that the King saw the Major; at which time Tho. Herbert Groom of the Bedchamber (from whom I had this story) riding a little behind the King, his Majesty call'd him to come near and ask'd him who that Captain was, and being by him told that it was Major Harrison, the King viewed him more narrowly and fix'd his eyes so steadily upon him, as made the Major abashed and fall back to his party, sooner than probably he intended. The K. said he looked like a Soldier and that his aspect was good, and found him not such an one as was represented; and that, having judgment in faces, if he had observed him so well before, he should not have harbour'd that ill opinion of him, for oft times the spirit and disposition may be discerned in the countenance. That night the K. got to Farnham, where he was lodged in a private Gentle∣man's house in the town, (the Castle there being then a Garrison for the Parliament) and a little before supper his Majesty standing by the fire in a large wainscoted parlour, and in discourse with the Mistress of the House, the King, (notwithstanding the room was pretty full of Army Officers and Country People that crowded in to have a sight of him) did at length see the Major at the farther end of the Parlour talking with another Officer: Whereupon beck∣oning to him with his hand to come nearer, he did so accordingly with due reverence: And his Majesty taking him by the arm, drew him aside towards the window, where for half an hour or more they did discourse together. Among other things the King minded him of the information that he had received concerning the murder that he intended on him in the Isle of Wight; which, if true, ren∣dred him an enemy in the worst sense to his person. The Major, in his vindication, assured his Majesty that what was reported of him was not true, yet he might report that the Law was equally obliging to great and small, and that Justice had no respect to persons, or words to that purpose: which his Majesty finding affectedly spoken and to no good end, he left off farther communication with him, and went to supper, being all the time very pleasant, which was no small

rejoycing to many there, to see him so cheerful in that company and in such a dolorous condition. Thirdly, that when his Maje∣sty went thence to Bagshot and there dined in the Lord Newburgh's house, the said Major ordered Centries to be set at every door where he was; and after dinner when he convey'd him to Wind∣sore he appointed several of his Officers to ride close to the King, least he should make (*) 1.28 an escape from them. Fourthly, that af∣ter the K. had continued at Winds. for some days keeping his last, but very sad, Christmas, he conveyed him in a Coach thence to S. James's, in order to his trial; at which time Harrison was with him in the said Coach, with his (‖) 1.29 head covered, talked with lit∣tle or no reverence to him: And when the King proposed to him What do they intend to do with me? whether to murther me or not? the Major made answer (†) 1.30 that there was no intention to kill him, me have no such thoughts, yet the Lord hath reserved you for a public example of justice, &c. Fifthly, That when the King was to be brought to his Trial, there was a Committee. sate in the Exchec∣quer Chamber, at which the Major being present, he used these (‡) 1.31 expressions before them, Gentlemen it will be good for us to blaken him, (meaning his Majesty) what we can, pray let us blacken him, or words to that purpose. Sixthly, that he was one of the hellish crew that sate publickly in judgment on his Majesty, when he was by them tried for his life in Westm. Hall, was there when sentence passed for his decollation, and stood up, as the rest did, as consent∣ing thereunto, and did afterwards set his hand to the bloody War∣rant for his Execution, &c. For these his services he was soon af∣ter made a Colonel, and at length a Major General, and on the 24 of Nov. 1652 he was one of those that were elected to be mem∣bers of the Council of State. While he was Major Gen. and in fa∣vour with Oliver, the Principality of Wales was appointed to be under his command, where, the then Laws appointed, were by him put in full force. No orthodox Minister could there be suffer∣ed, but whom he pleased to allow; and with the assistance of his Chaplain Vav. Powell (a giddy-headed person and second brother to Hugh Peters) he endeavoured the modelling of that Country, so as that none but their own Proselytes should teach and instruct the people, &c. At length he perceiving full well that Cromwell gaped after the Government by a single person, he with great scorn and indignation left him, and became the Ring-leader of all the Schis∣maticks, especially of that dangerous party called the Fift-monar∣chy men, and great with Joh. Lilbourne as mad as he. Whereup∣on Cromwell to be quick with, committed, him to safe custody, and put him out of all commission. Afterwards he was set at liberty, but committed again and again upon every suspicious account, and in Feb. 1657 he was re-baptized purposely to gain the Anabaptists to his party. At length engaging himself with Maj. Gen. John Lambert newly escaped from his Prison in the Tower, to raise For∣ces against the King, who was then voiced in most parts of the Nation to be returning from his exile to take possession of his King∣dom, he was snapt in the very point of time, wherein he intended to have headed a party, and was conveyed Prisoner to the Tower of London for the same. After his Majesties restauration a greater matter being laid to his charge, viz. of having a very deep and signal hand in the murder of his Prince, his imprisonment was made more close. At length being conveyed thence to Newgate, and so to Hicks Hall, and afterwards to the Sessions house in the Old Bayly, was, after a long Trial, condemned to dye for the same 11 Octob. 1660, and thereupon was sent to the said Prison of Newgate. On the 13 of the same month, he was conveyed thence on a Hurdle, guarded by a Troop of Horse and some of the Trained Bands to the rail'd place where Charing Cross stood; within which railes a Gibbet was set up on purpose, whereon he was hanged, with his face towards the Banquetting house at Whitehall, where the pretious and innocent blood of K. Ch. 1. was spilt by the said Harrison and the rest of the bloody Regicides. When he was half hanged, he was cut down, his bowels burned, his head severed from his body, and his quarters carried back on the same Hurdle to Newgate, to be disposed at his Majesties pleasure. On the 16 of the same month his head was set on Westminster Hall, and his quarters exposed to public view on some of the Gates of the City of London. Soon after was published under his name, Some occasional Speeches and memo∣rable Passages after his coming to Newgate; with his Speech upon the Ladder. Printed at London in qu. With The Speeches and Prayers of other Regicides; as also Observations upon the last actions and words of Maj. Gen. Harrison. Written by a Minister to a Country-Gentlewoman, who seemed to take some offence at the same.—Lond. 1660. in two sh. and an half in qu.

May 19. Colonel Richard Ingoldesbie now Governour of the Gar∣rison of Oxon, was also then presented Master by Proctor Zanchy, and by him conducted to the other Officers just before presented, sitting in the Doctors seats.—This person who was the second son of Sir Rich. Ingoldesbie of Lethenborough in Buckinghamshire Kt, by Elizabeth his wife, daughter of Sir Oliv. Cromwell of Hinching∣brook in Huntingtonshire, was born of a good family at Lethen∣borough, educated in the Free School at Thame, (as the rest of his brethren were) founded by Joh. Lord Williams, and being a stout young-man when the Civil War began, he betook himself, by the perswasions of his puritanical Parents, to the Parliament Cause, was a Captain in Col. Joh. Hamdens Regiment, when he first of all appeared in Arms against his Majesty, and in short time after he was made, by the endeavours of his Kinsman Ol. Cromwell (after∣wards

Protector) a Colonel of Horse, and at length by his allure∣ments one of the Judges of the said King in that bloody Court called The High Court of Justice; where he was present and stood up as consenting when Sentence passed for his decollation, and afterwards set his hand to the Warrant for his Execution. He was a Gentle∣man of courage and valour, and tho he could neither pray, preach or dissemble, being rather a boon companion, yet complying very kindly with Oliver's new Court, and being in his Principles for Kingship, he was reckoned fit to be taken out of the House of Com∣mons (having before been one of the Council of State) and to be made a Member of the other House, that is House of Lords by his cosin the Protector; who, about that time, committed him to the Tower (but soon released him thence) for beating the honest Inn∣keeper of Ailesbury in Whitehall. In the beginning of the year; 1660, when Colonel, commonly called Maj. General, Joh. Lambert broke loose from his prison in the Tower, (to which, he some time before had been committed by the restored Members of the Long Parlia∣ment, least he and his Party should hinder their intended settlement of the Nation) and thereupon had got into the head of a considera∣ble party of desperate Phanaticks near to Daventry in Northampton∣shire, to hinder, if possibly it might be, not only the said Settlement but Restauration of the King, he the said Col. Ingoldesbie did, with his own Regiment and some other Troops, and Companies of Foot (such as he could confide in) draw towards him, and about the 23 of Apr. making an Onset, took Lambert with his own hands, while the other prime Officers were taken by others of Ingoldesbie's party, &c. Whereupon for this his good service, his Majesty did not only spare his life, (as having been one of his fathers Judges) but gave order that he should be made a Knight of the Bath at his Coronation, which accordingly was done. Afterwards he retired to Lethenborough, lived several years after in a quiet repose and died in the beginning of Sept. 1685. Before which time his Estate at Lethenborough was, as it was then reported, sold to Elianor Gwynn for the use of her natural son (which she had by K. Ch. 2.) called Sir Charles Beaucleer Earl of Burford and afterwards Duke of S. Al∣bans. This Col. Ingoldesbie was elder brother to Henry Ingoldesbie a Colonel also in the Parliam. Army, and to Thomas a Captain, &c.

May 19. Col. John Hewson a Colonel of Foot, was also presen∣ted by Proct. Zanchy and by him conducted to his place among the other Officers—He was sometimes an honest Shoomaker in Westminster, but getting little by that trade, he, in the beginning of the grand rebellion, went out a Captain upon the account of the blessed cause, was very zealous for it, fought on stoutly, and in time became a Colonel. When K. Ch. 1. was by the godly bre∣thren brought to trial for his life, he sate as one of the Judges, con∣sented to the sentence passed upon him and sealed and subscribed the warrant for his execution. Afterwards for his said service he be∣came Governour of Dublin, one of the Council of State in July 1653, a member of the Little or Barebones Parliament held the same year (and of all the Parliaments since, before his Majesties restauration) a Knight also of the new stamp, and at length one of Olivers Lords to have a negative voice in the Other House. Upon an infallible foresight of the turn of the times, he conveyed him∣self away into Holland, to save his neck, and soon after died, and was buried at Amsterdam, about 1662, as the vulgar report went at that time.

Colonel John Okey was another great Officer that was then al∣so presented by Proct. Zanchy, May 19. and by him conducted to the rest—His parentage was as mean as his calling, having been originally as 'tis supposed a Dray-man, afterwards a Stroaker in a Brew-house at Islington near London, and then a poor Chandler near Lyon-Key in Thamestreet in London. At length changing his A∣pron for a Buff-coat, he became, thro certain military degrees, a Col. of Dragoons, and by the artifice of Cromwell, had, unknowing to him, his name inserted among the Kings Judges, and so conse∣quently was by him appointed to sit among that diabolical crew; which if he refus'd to do, he knew full well it would displease Cromwell much, and in the end contract prejudice against him. This Fellow, who was of greater bulk than brains, and of more strength than wit or conscience, left Cromwell when he saw that he aimed at the office of a single person, sided with the Anab. and Fift-Monarchy∣men, and thereupon was committed to custody for a time, and his Regiment taken from him and given to a great Creature of Ol. called Ch. L. Howard, afterwards E. of Carlile. At length upon a foresight of the return of Monarchy, he fled into Holland, and setling at Delf•• in a very timorous condition under the name of Frederick William∣son, (because his fathers name was William) with Miles Corbet and John Barkstead two other Regicides (the last of which went by the name of Joh. Harman) they were all seized upon in the beginning of March 1661, by the forward Endeavours of Sir George Downing his Majesties Envoy or Resident at the Hague, by order from the States, they being then in an Ale-house. Soon after they were sent to England in the Blackamore Frigot, and upon their arrival were committed Prisoners to the Tower of London. Afterwards being convey'd to the Kings-bench Bar at Westm. Hall to know what they could say for themselves why Execution should not pass upon them, they were returned to the Tower again; and on the 19 of April 1662 were all convey'd thence, each in a Sledge, to Tybourn, and there hang'd, drawn and quarter'd. Afterwards Okey's quarters, were, instead of being hang'd on several gates of the City of Lon∣don, permitted by his Majesty's order to be inter'd by his Relations, because he had behaved himself dutifully towards him in his last words at the Gallows. Soon after were publish'd their Speeches and Prayers, together with several passages at the time of their Execution at Tybourne, with some due and sober animadversions on the said Speech∣es.

Col. Okey and Mil. Corbet to their friends in their congregational Churches in Lond. with the manner of their apprehension. Lond. 1662, in 1 sh. in qu. But this last is a feigned thing, and reflects upon Sir Geor. Downing as a Revolter from their Cause, as indeed he was, which afterwards was his advancement. He was then a member of that Parl. which began at Westm. 8 of May 1661, wherein acting much to the great dislike of those that took them∣selves to be the honest party of the House, had this (*) 1.32 character given of him,

Sir Geor. Downing a poor child, bred upon charity, like Judas betray'd his Master: What can his Country expect? He drew, and advised the Oath of renouncing the Kings family, and took it first himself. For his honesty, fidelity, &c. he was re∣warded by his Maj. with fourscore thousand pounds at least, and is a Commissioner of the Customes, the House-bell to call the Cour∣tiers to vote at six of the clock at night, an Exchecquer tel∣ler, &c.

May 19. Geor. Sedascue Adjutant General of the Parliament Ar∣my, was also then presented and took his place.—He had been a Cornet of Horse in the Expedition against the Rebels in Ireland 1641. 42.

Col. Edward Grosvenour Quartermaster General of the said Army, was presented and created M. of A. the same day.—In 1656 he was chose Burgess for Westminster, to serve in that Parl. which began 17 of Sept. the same year, he being then a favourite of Oliver, and for the same place also to serve in Richards Parliament, &c.

May 19. Owen Roe Scoutmaster General, was also then created and conducted by Proctor Zanchy to the rest of the Officers.—He was originally a Silk-man, and in the beginning of the Rebellion being a violent Covenantier, and afterwards an Independent, was by Oliver's interest made a prime Officer (Lieut. Col. I think) in the Militia of London, and became a firebrand in that City, and an enemy to its antient Civil Government. In 1648 he was nomina∣ted one of the Kings Judges, sate on the Bench when he was seve∣ral times brought before them, stood up as consenting, when Sen∣tence was passed for severing his head from his body, and at length set his hand and seal to the Warrant for his Execution. About that time he was made Keeper of the Magazines and Stores, received 5000 l. to buy Arms, which I think was never after accompted for. In 1659 Jul. 7. he was constituted Colonel of the Militia of the said City by the Rump Parliament, and was then in great favour with them; but in the year after when his Maj. was restored and a Proclamation thereupon was issued out for all such persons that had sate in Judgment on K. Ch. 1. to come in, he surrendred him∣self; so that after his Trial had passed in the Sessions house in the Old Bayly, he was condemned to perpetual imprisonment, and his Estate confiscated. What became of him afterwards I know not, nor any thing else of him, only that much about the time that he was crea∣ted M. of Arts, he got his son named Sam. Roe to be made Fellow of Alls. Coll. by the Committee and Visitors.

May 19. Colonel William Gough or Goffe was then also present∣ed by Zanchy, and created M. A.—He was the son of Stephen Goffe Rector of Stanmore in Sussex, and younger brother to Joh. Goffe mention'd among the Writers, an. 1661, p. 171. and to Steph. Goffe mention'd in the Fasti, an. 1636. p. 888. While this William was a Youth and averse to all kind of Learning, he was bound an Apprentice to one Vaughan a Salter in London, Brother to Col. Jo∣seph Vaughan a Parliamentarian and a zealous Presbyterian; whose time being near, or newly, out, he betook himself to be a Soldier for the righteous Cause instead of setting up his trade, went out a Quartermaster of Foot and continued in the Wars till he forgot what he had fought for. At length thro several military grades he became a Colonel, a frequent Prayer-maker, Preacher and Presser for Righteousness and Freedom, which in outward shew was ex∣pressed very zealously, and therefore in high esteem in the Parlia∣ment Army. In 1648 he was one of the Judges of K. Ch. 1, sate in judgment when he was brought before the High Court of Justice, stood up as consenting when Sentence passed upon him for his de∣collation, and afterwards set his Hand and Seal to the Warrant for his Execution. Afterwards, having like his General (Cromwell) an evil tincture of that spirit that loved and sought after the favour and praise of man, more than that of God, as by woful experience in both of them it did afterwards appear, he could not further believe, or persevere upon that account, but by degrees fell off from the an∣timonarcal Principles of the chief part of the Army, and was the man, with Col. Will. White, who brought Musquetiers and turned out the Anabaptistical Members that were left behind of the Little or Barebones Parliament, out of the House, an. 1654. Complying thus kindly with the design and interest of the said General, he was by him, when made Protector, constituted Major General of Hamp∣shire, Sussex and Berks, a place of great profit, and afterwards was of one, if not of two Parliaments, did advance his interest greatly, and was in so great esteem and favour in Oliver's Court that he was judged the only fit man to have Maj. Gen. John Lamberts place and command, as Maj. General of the Army of Foot, and by some to have the Protectorship setled on him in future time. He being thus made so considerable a person, he was taken out of the House to be a Lord, and to have a negative Voice in the Other House, and the rather for this reason, that he never in all his life (as he used se∣veral times to say) fought against any such thing as a single person, or a negative voice, but only to pull down Charles and set up Oliver, &c. in which he obtained his end. In 1660, a little before the restauration of K. Ch. 2, he betook himself to his heels to save his

neck, without any regard had to his Majesties Proclamation, wan∣dred about, fearing every one that he met should slay him, and was living at Lausanna in 1664 with Edm. Ludlow, Edward Whaley, and other Regicides, when John L'isle, another of that number, was there by certain generous Royalists dispatch'd. He afterwards li∣ved several years in Vagabondship, but when he died, or where his carcass was lodged, is as yet unknown to me.

May 19. Major John Blackmore.—He was a Burgess for Tiverton to serve in that Parliament call'd by Oliver, which began at Westm. 3 Sept. 1654.

Major ..... Browne was actually created the same day.—This is all that appears of him in the Register; otherwise had his Christian Name been set down, I might have been more large up∣on him.

The aforesaid eleven Officers, great favourites of Cromwell, were presented in Masters Gowns on one and the same day by Zanchy before mention'd, in a Convocation held by a Presbyterian Deputy Vicechancellour, Presbyterian Heads and mostly Presbyterian Ma∣sters, and all actually created Masters of Arts and seated in the Doctors seats.

Francis Buller Gent. Bach. of Arts of Cambr. was also then actu∣ally created Master, but presented by an ordinary Master.—He was the same person, as I conceive, who was chose a Knight for the County of Cornwall to serve in Richards Parliament that began at Westm. 27 Jan. 1658.

May 21. John Rushworth of Queens Coll, Secretary to Tho. Lord Fairfax, was then created M. of A. and admitted to suffragate in the House of Convoc. and Congreg.

• May 21. Edward Thelwall a Capt. of Foot.
• May 21. Hugh Courtney an Officer of note.

Mar. 14. .... Humphreys Gent. of kin to the Earl of Lincolne, and the son of a Colonel, &c.

In the conclusion of the aforesaid Creation, May 19, were the Names of certain other Officers read, to be created Masters of Arts when they were pleased to come to Oxon to be entertained. Their Names were written in a paper subscribed by Fairfax and Crom∣well, but whether the contents of that paper were registred, or that the said Officers were afterwards created, it appears not. Two of them who are noted to posterity for their great rudeness and im∣pudence towards sacred Majesty, I shall here set down, but the others not, because of little or no Name. The first of these two that I shall speak of, is,

George Joyce an Officer of note, a Captain as it seems.—It must be now observed that when the Commissioners appointed by Parlia∣ment to treat with the King for Peace, did go to him at Newcastle upon Tyne, to which place the Scots had conveyed him when he committed his person to their protection near Newark upon Trent, it was the pleasure of the Parl. that he and the Commissioners should be conveyed thence to his Palace at Holdenby in Northamptonshire, there to continue during the Treaty, because it was a more conve∣nient place for his Majesty, and much more near to London than the former place. On the 3 of Feb. therefore, an. 1646, he was con∣veyed thence by certain Forces appointed by Parliament, and on the 16 of the said month he arrived at Holdenby with the Commis∣sioners, viz. Philip Earl of Pembroke, Basil Earl of Denbigh, Edward Lord Mountague of Boughton, with double their number of some eminent members of the H. of Commons, namely Sir Jam. Har∣rington, Sir John Holland, and Sir Joh. Coke Baronets, Sir Walter Earle Kt, Joh. Crew Esq. and Serg. Maj. Gen. Rich. Browne. Being all setled there, the Treaty went on, with fair hopes of a conclusi∣on, but by the diabolical machinations of O. Cromwell and his con∣federates the Adjutators, it was after this manner dissolved, and the King by force taken thence. On the 3 of June 1647, his Maj. being in the afternoon at Bowls in the Green at A••thorp near Hol∣denby, belonging to the Lord Spencer Earl of Sunderland, it was whisper'd among the Commissioners then there with him, that a party of Horse obscurely headed were marching towards Holdenby, and for no good it was presumed, in regard that neither the Com∣missioners nor Colonel Rich. Greaves (a most confiding Presbyteri∣an) who kept the Guard at Holdenby and was an Officer in the Army, nor the Commissioners servants had the least notice of it from any Officer, or other correspondent in the Army, other than that the General had removed his Head-quarter from S. Edmunds Bury to Newmarket, when the Army entred into an Engagement not to suffer themselves to be disbanded, such a motion having been made by the Commons in Parliament. Whereupon his Majesty so soon as he was acquainted with it, he immediately left the Green and returned to Holdenby, where the Commissioners, after consul∣tation had with Col. Greaves, resolved to stand upon their guard; and accordingly they forthwith doubled their guards for the de∣fence of his Majesties person; and Serg. Maj. Gen. Browne calling all the Soldiers together, acquainted them with the occasion, who promised to stand by him, and not to suffer any attempt upon the Kings person, or affront on the Commissioners, as I have been in∣formed by one then present on the place, whom I shall anon men∣tion: But the difference is great 'twixt saying and doing, as soon appeared; for about midnight came that party of Horse, which in good order drew up before the House or Pallace at Holdenby, and, at all avenews, placed guards. This done, the Officer that commanded the party alighted and demanded entrance: Where∣upon Greaves and Browne asked him his name and business, he an∣swer'd his name was Joyce a Cornet in Col. Edw. Whalleys Regiment, and his business was to speak with the King: From whom said they? From my self said Joyce, at which they laughed; and thereupon Joyce said 'twas no laughing matter. They advised him to draw off his men, and in the morning he should speak with the Commissi∣oners:

I came not hither (said he) to be advised by you, nor have I any business with the Commissioners, my errand is to the King, and speak with him I must and will presently, &c. They then bad the Soldiers within stand to their Arms, and be ready to fire when or∣dered: But during this short Treaty between the Cornet and Greaves and Browne, the Soldiers on each side had conference toge∣ther, and so soon as they understood that they were Fellow-Soldi∣ers of one and the same Army, they quickly forgot what they had promised; for they opened the gates and doors, shoke one ano∣ther by the hand and bad them welcome, so little regard had they to their promises, either in reference to the Kings safety or the Commissioners that attended him. Entrance being made, strict search was made after Col. Greaves, who (tho faultless, yet was it suggested that he would privately have conveyed away the King to London) got happily out of their reach. Sentinels were ordered by Joyce to be set at the Commissioners chambers doors, that he might with less noise carry on his design, and find way to the Back-stairs where the Grooms of his Majesties Bedchamber attend∣ed. Cornet Joyce being come unto the door, he in rude manner knock'd: Those within asked who it was that in such an uncivil manner and unseasonable time came to disquiet the Kings rest? The Cornet answer'd, My name is Joyce, an Officer of the Army, and sorry I am that I should disquiet the King, but I cannot help it, for speak with him I must, and that presently, &c This strange confi∣dence of his, and the posture he was in, having a cock'd Pistol in his hand, amazed the four Grooms of the Bedchamber, Jam. Max∣well, Patr. Maule, Jam. Harrington and Thom. Herbert, (from the last of which I had this story in writing) whose duty it was and care to preserve his Majesties person, and were resolv'd to sacrifice their lives rather than give him admittance. They therefore in the first place ask'd Joyce if he had the Commissioners approbation for his intrusion? he said no, for I have ordered a guard to be set at their doors, and have orders from those that feared them not. They then perswaded him to lay aside his arms and to forbear giving distur∣bance, the K. being then asleep, assuring him that in the morning he should have his Majesties answer to his errand. The Cornet re∣fused to part with either Sword or Pistol, and yet insisted to have the Chamber door opened. But the Grooms of the Bedchamber keeping firm to their resolution that he should not enter, the noise was so loud, which in this contest could not be avoided, that it awa∣kened his Majesty, who thereupon rung his silver bell: Upon which Maxwell went into the Bedchamber to know the Kings plea∣sure, the other three Grooms in the mean time securing the door. The K. being acquainted with the business, and uncivil carriage of the Cornet, he sent word he would not rise nor speak with him until morning: Which being told the Cornet, he huff'd, and seeing his design could not be effected in the night, he retired, so as for a few hours there was silence. Morning being come, the K. arose a little sooner than ordinary, and having performed his morning de∣votions, he sent for Joyce, who, with no less confidence than if he had been a supreme Officer, approached the King, and acquainted him with the commands he had concerning his removal. The K. desired that the Commissioners might be sent for, and his orders communicated to them, the Cornet made answer that they were to return back to the Parliament; by whose appointment, said the King? to which the Cornet made no answer. The K. then said, Let them have their liberty, and give me a sight of your instructions. That, said Cornet Joyce, you shall see presently: And forthwith drawing up the greatest and best part of his party into the inner Court, as near as he could unto the King, said These Sir are my instructions. The K. took a view of, and finding, them proper men, well mount∣ed and armed, smilingly told the Cornet, His instructions were in fair characters, and legible without spelling. The Cornet then pres∣sed the King to go along with him, no prejudice being intended, but rather satisfaction: The King told him he would not stir unless the Commissioners went along with him: The Cornet replyed that for his part he was indifferent. However the Commissioners in this interim, had, by an Express, acquainted the Parl. with this vio∣lence, and so soon as they perceived his Majesty was inclinable to go with Joyce, and that it was the Kings pleasure they should fol∣low him they knew not whither, they immediately made them∣selves ready: And after that they had put several questions to the Cornet, whose answers were insignificant, and saw full well that reason was of no force to disswade, nor menaces to affright, they were willing to attend the K. at all adventures. This audacious attempt exceedingly troubled the Commissioners, and the more for that they knew not how to help it, as well appeared by their coun∣tenances, for indeed it sadned the hearts of many. The K. was the merriest in the company, having, it seems, some confidence in the Army, especially from some of the greatest there, as was ima∣gined. The K. being in his coach call'd the Earls of Pembroke and Denbigh, as also the L. Mountague, into it. The other Commissi∣oners, members of the H. of Commons, being well mounted, fol∣lowed, leaving Holdenby languishing; for that beautiful and state∣ly structure was in two years after pulled down among other Royal Houses, whereby the splendor of the Kingdom was not a lit∣tle ecclips'd, as it since appeared. His Majesty following his guide (the confident Cornet) he went that night to Hinchingbroke, where he lodged in the fair mansion house of Col. Edw. Mountague, (made Earl of Sandwich after the restauration of K Ch. 2.) whose Lady was daughter to Joh. Crew Esq. then one of the Commissioners, and afterwards created a Baron by K. Ch. 2.; in which House his Maj. was treated with honour and welcome, as were also the Com∣missioners. From Hinchingbrooke the K. went next night to Chil∣derley, a house of Sir Joh. Cutts, not far from Cambridge, to which, during his Majesties three days stay, many Doctors, Graduats,

and Scholars of that University repaired. To most of whom the K. was pleased to give his hand to kiss, for which honour they re∣turned their gratulatory and humble thanks with a V••vat Re••. Thi∣ther also came Fairfax the General of the Parl. Army, Lieut. Gen. Cromwell, Commissary Gen. Hen. Ireton, Maj. Gen. Philip Ski••pon, Lieut. Gen. of the Ordnance Tho. Hammond. Col. Joh Lambert, Col. Edw. Whalley, Col. Rich. Deane, Col. Charles Rich, and several other Field and Commission Officers; some of which, as soon as they came into the presence, kist his Majesties hand, after the Ge∣neral, who had began the way. These things being done the K. took the General aside in the first place and discours'd with him, the General (unask'd) disavowed his Majesties seizure by Joyce at Holdenby, as done without his order and approbation, (but probably by some other powerful Officer in the Army, seeing that Joyce was neither at a Council of War, or otherwise, called into question for it) and by his Letter declared no less to the Parlia∣ment: Whereupon, as 'tis farther reported, the K. made answer, that unless he would hang up Joyce he would not believe him, &c. From thence he went to Newmarket, where he made a considerable stay, and thence to Royston, where continuing two or three days, a certain Envoy from some German Prince (whose dead father had been a Companion to the Knights of the most noble Order of the Garter) made an Address to his Majesty, with a Letter and a return of the George and Garter (richly set with Diamonds) according to the usual custom, and to receive his Majesties direction with whom to be deposited. A military Officer, Whalley before mention'd (af∣terwards one of the Kings Judges) being in the room, was so male∣pert as to interpose, and would be privy to what the Envoy had to communicate to the King, who by his frown expressing his displea∣sure at so great rudeness towards him and incivility to a stranger, Mr. Babington the Kings Barber instructed the Officer better by a removal, which the King was pleased with, and the Officer had a reproof from the General for his disrespect to his Majesty. After∣wards his Majesty by easie journeys went to Hampton Court, where he continued in great splendour near a quarter of an year, in which time there were great hopes of an accommodation and conclusion of peace between him and his Parliament; but being frighted thence by the endeavours of the Adjutators of the Army at Putney, he retired obscurely to the Isle of Wight, and how he was violently taken thence and hurried to Hurst Castle, you shall hear more anon. As for Joyce before mention'd, a pragmatical and busie person, who had been a godly Taylor in London, and perswaded and egg'd on by a godly Minister of that City to take up arms for the righteous Cause, had soon after the said audacious act was by him performed, his Arrears paid, and was made at least a Captain, and at length a Colonel: But after Oliver had advanc'd himself to the Protecto∣rate, and thereupon had cashier'd and imprison'd divers prime Of∣ficers, who worse than malign'd him for so doing, an. 1654, this Col. Joyce became a Malecontent at the change, and signified so much to Olivers face, whom he upbraided with his own service, and his faithfulness, but escaped any other censure than a bidding him be gone, Cromwell well knowing him to be one of those mad men that would say and do any thing they were bid.

The next that I am to mention who had the degr. of M. of A. con∣fer'd on him if he would please to accept of it, was

Lieut. Colon. Ralph Cobbet an Officer in Col. Faithful Fortescue's Regiment.—The Reader may be pleased now to observe that the Treaty for Peace at Newport in the Isle of Wight between the Com∣missioners appointed by Parliament and his Majesty, being in a manner concluded, insomuch that it was voted by the members thereof that his Majesties answers and concessions were a ground suffi∣cient and satisfactory to both Houses of Parliament to proceed upon in order to a settlement of a peace of the Kingdom, the Adjutators of the Army did thereupon conclude, that if a Peace was setled, the said Army should be disbanded and become useless, and therefore they framing Cases and a Remonstrance setting forth their grievances, and that the principal Actors of the Kings party in the late War should be proceeded against according to justice, his Majesty not be∣ing excepted, they ordered among themselves that the said Treaty should be broken off and the King's person secured for their own ends thus. In the latter end of Nov. 1648 a considerable party of Horse and Foot belonging to the Army landed in the Isle of Wight under the command of the said Lieut. Col. Cobbet, and coming un∣expectedly to Newport, the Lieut. Col. did in the first place make enquiry for the quarter of the Governour of that Isle called Col. Rob. Hammond, (for there, at Newprrt, he continued while his Ma∣jesty was present, albeit he was under no restraint) to the end that he might secure him and put his Lieut. Col. Is. Ewre in his place of trust and government. The reason for this intended seizure was not then known, for Col. Hammond had all along managed his trust with sufficient circumspection and asperity; so, as it continu∣ed him in the applause of most men in power, both in the two Houses of Parl. and the Army: insomuch, as 'twas believed this alteration proceeded principally from the apprehension either the Adjutators, or some that influenc'd them, had; and were not a lit∣tle jealous that he was at length too much a Courtier, which they by no means approved of; and from that supposition they thought it the safest way to remove him: yet he being premonish'd, he eva∣ded Cobbet, and at his coming to Westminster had a fair reception by the members of Parliament. In this conjecture his Opposits in the Army were mistaken, for albeit by his constant attendance, most times walking and discoursing with the King whensoever he walk'd for refreshment about the out-works of Carisbrook Castle, before he went to Newport to treat with the Commissioners, (there being none in the Garrison so fit, and forward as Hammond) it gave him opportunity to ingratiate himself into his Majesties favour,

yet it made the Army Officers jealous, he being solely intrusted with the Person of the King: And the truth is he did never for∣feit the Kings good opinion of him, only when he peep'd into his Scrutore, for no good end as 'twas supposed; which, (as I have been told by one then present) with some aggravations from other hands, made the King to design an escape: For soon after, he made way for his descent out of his Chamber, as he farther told me, and Horses were provided and placed near the works, and a vessel rea∣dy for his imbarking, but by a corrupted Corporal of the Garrison it took no effect, &c. Now to return; L. Col. Cobbet failing of his first enterprise, he made a higher flight, for in the morning of the 30. of Nov. 1648▪ (being S. Andrews day) he, just at break of day, did with other Officers in his Company come to the door of the Kings Dressing-room, with Anth. Mildmay the Kings Carver, (Brother to Sir Henry a Parliamentarian) and making a great knock∣ing there, the King sent James Duke of Richmond, then in atten∣dance as Gentleman of the Bedchamber, to know what it meant, and he enquiring who was there, was answer'd by Mildmay, that there were some Gentlemen from the Army that were desirous to speak with the King. The Duke returned and gave an account to the King, but the knocking increasing the King commanded the Duke to let them into his Dressing-room. No sooner was that done, but Cobbet in the head of them went into his Chamber, and made an abrupt and unexpected address to the King, letting him know that he had orders to remove him forthwith from Newport. The King beheld him with astonishment and interrogated him whe∣ther his orders were to remove him to his prison at Carisbroke? the Lieut. Col. said no: whither then? said the King, out of the Isle of Wight, replied the Lieut. Col, but the place he was to remove him to, he was not to communicate. Ʋnder favour, (said the King) let me see your orders, as to which the L. Col. desired to be excu∣sed, this business (said he) is of no ordinary concernment, I am not to satisfie any mans enquiry until a fitter season. Now was veri∣fied his Majesties Maxim, that such as will assume the boldness to adventure upon a King, must not be thought over modest, or timorous, to carry on his design. His Majesty being thus denied a sight and answer, demanded if his orders and instructions were from the Par∣liament, or General of the Army? the Lieut. Col. answer was he had them from neither, said the King thereupon it may be so, seeing you are afraid to shew them: But that he had orders or secret in∣structions for this bold act, is not to be doubted; for tho there was but one General, yet things were at that time so much out of frame, both in the Commons House and Army, that there were many Commanders. The Duke of Richmond, Mountague Earl of Lind∣sey, Thomas Earl of Southampton Gentlemen of the Bedchamber and other Nobility, several venerable Persons his Chaplains, and many of the Kings Houshold servants at that time attending, were in a manner confounded at this surprise and unexpected accident, yea not a little affrighted with idea's and apprehensions of danger to his Majesties person, and the more, for that Cobbet refused to sa∣tisfie any, to what place he would go, or what he intended to do with the King, other than that no harm or violence should be of∣fer'd to him. The Lieut. Col. (Cobbet) did press the King to take Coach with what convenient speed he could: The Coach accord∣ingly was made ready and brought to the door where the King lod∣ged. Never at one time was beheld more grief in mens faces, or greater fears in their hearts, the King being at such a time and in such a manner hurried away they knew not whether. But no re∣medy appearing, the Noble men, venerable persons, and other his Majesties servants approached to kiss the Kings hand and to pour forth their supplications to Almighty God to safeguard and comfort his Majesty in that disconsolate condition. His Majesty, who at other times was cheerful, did, at this parting from his friends shew sorrow in his heart by the sadness of his countenance, (a real sym∣pathy) and wrot unto the Lords in Parl. acquainting them with this fresh violence, and complaining of the Armies severity to his person. The King being now ready to take Coach, he asked Cobbet whether he was to have any servants with him? To which he made answer only such as were most useful. The King then nominated James Harrington, and Tho. Herbert to attend him in his Bedchamber, and scarce a dozen more for other service: And at that time his Majesty taking notice that Herbert had for three days absented himself, Har∣rington told his Majesty that he was sick of an Ague. His Majesty then desir'd the Duke of Richmond to send one of his servants to see in what condition he then was, and, if any thing well, to come along with him. The Gent. that the Duke sent found him sweat∣ing, but as soon as he received the message, he arose, and came speedily to his Majesty, who presently took Coach and commanded Harrington, Herbert, and Mildmay his Carver to come into his Coach; and L. Col. Cobbet offering to enter the Coach uninvited, his Majesty by opposing with his foot, made him sensible of his rudeness, so as with shame he mounted his horse, and followed the Coach with his party or guard, the Coachman driving as he dire∣cted, and Captain Merriman (a name ill suting with the occasion) with another party went foremost. The King in this passage shew'd no discomposure at all (tho at parting he did) and would be ask∣ing the Gentlemen in the Coach with him, Whether they thought he was travelling? they made some simple replies, such that served to make his Majesty smile at their innocent conjectures: Otherwhile he would comfort himself with what he had granted at the late Treaty with the Commissioners, whom he highly praised for their ingenuity and fair deportment at Newport. The Coach by the L. Colonels direction went Westward towards Worsley's Tower in Fresh∣water Isle, and a little beyond Yarmouth Haven. About that place his Majesty rested, until the Vessel was ready to take him aboard with those few his Attendants. The King after an hours stay went

aboard, a sorrowful spectacle and great example of fortunes incon∣stancy. The wind and tyde favoured him and his company, and in less than three hours time they crost that narrow Sea, and landed at Hurst Castle, (or Block-house rather) erected by order of K. Hen. 8, upon a spot of earth thrust by nature a good way into the Sea, and joyned to the firm land by a narrow neck of Sand, which is con∣stantly covered over with loose stones and pebbles. Upon both sides of this passage the Sea beats, so as at spring tydes and in stor∣my weather it is formidable and hazardous. The Castle has very thick stone walls, and the platforms are regular, and both have Cul∣verins and Sakers mounted. A dismal receptacle, it was for so great a Monarch, as this King was; the greater part of whose life and reign had been prosperous and full of earthly glory: Nevertheless it was some satisfaction to his Majesty that his two Houses of Parlia∣ment abhor'd this force upon his person, having voted that the seizing of the Kings Person and carrying him Prisoner to Hurst Castle was without the privity and consent of either House of Parliament, &c. The Captain of this wretched place, was not unsutab••e to it. At the Kings going on Shoar in the Evening of the said 30 of Nov. he stood ready to receive him with small observance. His look was stern, his hair and large beard were black and bushy. He held a Partizan in his hand and Switz-like had a great Basket-hilt-sword by his side. Hardly could one see a man of more grim aspect, and no less robust and rude was his behaviour. Some of his Majesties servants were not a little fearful of him, and really thought that he was designed for mischief, especially when he vapoured as be∣ing elevated with his command, and puft up by having so royal a Prisoner; so as probably he conceived he was nothing inferior to the Governour of the Castle at Millan. But being complained off to L. Col. Cobbet his superior Officer, he appeared a Bubble; for being pretty sharply admonished, he quickly became mild and calm, whereby 'twas visible that his humour (or tumour rather) was adu∣latory acted to curry favour; wherein also he was much mistaken: For to give the L. Colonel his due, he was, after his Majesty came under his custody, very civil to him both in language and beha∣viour, and courteous to those that attended him, on all occasions: Also that his disposition was not rugged towards such as in loyalty and love came to see, and to pray for, him as sundry persons out of Hampshire and the neighbouring Counties did. His Majesty (as it may be well granted) was very slenderly accommodated at this place, for the Room he usually eat in, was neither large nor lightsome, insomuch that at noon day in that Winter season, candles were set up to give light; and at night he had his wax Lamp set (as former∣ly) in a silver bason, which illuminated the Bedchamber, and Tho. Herbert then attending, being the sole person at that time left as Groom thereof, (for Harrington was soon after dismist as I have elsewhere told you) he could not otherwise but call to mind a re∣lation well worth the observance which is this, as by Letters, with several other stories relating to the Kings last two years of his life, he very kindly imparted to me. When Mountague Earl of Lindsey, one of the Gentlemen of his Majesties Bedchamber, did lay one night on a Pallet by the Kings bed-side, a little before he left Oxon, in a disguise, to surrender his person up to the Protection of the Scots then laying seige to Newark upon Trent, was placed at the end of his Majesties Bed (as was usually every night) a Lamp or round cake of wax in a bason set on a stool. The Earl awaked in the night and observed the room to be perfectly dark, and thereup∣on raising himself up, he looked towards the Lamp and concluded that it might be extinguished by water got into the bason by some creek: But he not hearing the King stir, he forbore rising, or to call upon those in the next chamber to bring in another light. About half an hour after he fell asleep again and awaked not till morning, but when he did awake, he discerned the Lamp bright burning, which so astonish'd him, that taking the boldness to call to the King (whom he heard by his stirring to be awake) he told him what he had observed: whereupon the King replied, that he himself awaking also in the night, took notice that all was dark, and to be fully satisfied he put by the curtain to look on the Lamp, but concluded that the Earl had risen, and set it upon the bason lighted again. The Earl assured his Majesty he did not. The King then said he did consider it was a prognostick of Gods future favour and mercy towards him and his, that, tho he was at that time ecclip∣sed, yet either he or they may shine out bright again, &c. But to re∣turn, in this sad condition was the King at Hurst, the place and military persons duly considered: He was sequestred in a manner from the comfort that earth and air affordeth and the society of men. The earth confin'd him to that promontorie or gravel walk overspread with loose stones a good depth; on which when he walked, as usually he did, was very uneasie and offensive to his feet, but endure it he did with his most admirable and accustom'd patience and serenity of spirit, and more alacrity, than they that followed him. The air was equally noxious, by reason of the ma∣rish grounds that were thereabouts, and the unwholsome vapours arising from the ••argosses and weeds which the salt water constant∣ly at tydes and stormes cast upon the shoar, and by the foggs that those marine places are most subject to, so that the dwellers there∣abouts find by experience how that the air is insalubrious and dispo∣sing to diseases, especially aguish distempers. Notwithstanding all these things the King was content in this most disconsolate and re∣legated place to walk two miles at least in length, containing but a few paces in breadth, either in the company of the Governour of the said Castle, or in that of Captain Reynolds an Officer therein; beside Harrington (while he was there) and Herbert, who accord∣ing to their duties did always attend him. That which made some amendments was a fair and uninterrupted prospect a good way into the Sea, a view into the Isle of Wight one way, and main Land

the other, with the sight of Ships of all sizes, daily under sail, with which his Majesty was much delighted. In this Castle his Majesty continued from the evening of the 30 of Nov. till the 21. of Dec. following, an. 1648. and what hapned in that interval I have part∣ly told you in Jam. Harrington among the Writers under the year 1677. p. 437.438. About the 15 of the said month of Dec. Major Harrison came late at night with orders for the removal of his Ma∣jesty thence, lodged there two nights, and went away without seeing the King or speaking with any of his Attendants. Two days after L. Col. Cobbet before mention'd came and acquainted his Ma∣jesty with the orders he had received for his remove thence to Wind∣sore Castle forthwith. The King told him he was more kind at that time, than he was at Newport, when he would not gratifie him or any other the knowledge of the place he was to go to. Windsore was the place he ever delighted in and 'twould make amends for what at Hurst he had suffer'd. All things in short time being made ready, he bad solitary Hurst adieu; and having pass'd the narrow passage before mention'd, which reaches well nigh from Hurst to Milford three long miles, there appeared a party of Horse belong∣ing to the Army, who had then their Winter quarter at Lindhorsh, and were ordered to convoy the King to Winchester; but going first to Ringwood, then through the New Forest to Rumsey went thence to the said City. At his entrance therein the Mayor and Aldermen of the City, did, notwithstanding the times, receive the King with dutiful respect, and the Clergy did the like. During his short stay there, the Gentry and others of inferiour rank flock'd thither in great numbers to welcome his Majesty, and out of zeal to pray for his enlargement and happiness; with which the King was much satisfied and was pleased to give his hand to many of them to kiss. Thence his Majesty rode to Alton, and so to Alres∣ford, while the Inhabitants round about made hast to see his Ma∣jesty pass by, and to pour forth their prayers for his preservation. From thence he went to Farnham, 'twixt which two Towns Major Harrison met him with a party of Horse to convey him to Windsore. See more before in Thomas Harrison among these creations.

Bach of Phys.

May 19. Thomas Trapham Chyrurgion to the General of the Parl. Army was then actually created Bach. of Physick, while the said General, Cromwell and the aforesaid Officers were seated in their Gowns in the Doctors seats.—This person who was Son of John Trapham of Maidstone in Kent, and had been licensed by the Uni∣versity to practice Chyrurgery, an. 1633, did practice it in these parts for some time before the grand rebellion broke forth. After∣wards he turned tail for profit sake, practiced in the Parliament Army, and became a bitter enemy to his Majesty K. Ch. the first; to whose body after his decollation in the latter end of Jan. 1648 he put his hand to open and embalm, and when that was done, he sewed his head to his body; and that being done also, he said to the company then present, that he had sewed on the head of a Goose. Afterwards he was Chyrurgeon to Oliver Cromwell at the fight at Worcester against K. Ch. 2, was a great man among his party and got what he pleased. After his Majesties return, he retired to the fanatical Town of Abendon in Berks, practiced there among the Brethren, and dying an absolute Bigot for the cause, in the latter end of Dec. 1683 was buried on the 29 of the same month in the presence of a great number of Dissenters in the Church yard of S. He∣len there, close under one of the windows of that Church. One of both his names, and his Son, as it seems, I shall elsewhere men∣tion.

Nov. 14. James Ward was actually created by the favour of Fair∣fax the General—This person who was lately made Fellow of Magd. Coll. by the Visitors I have mentioned among the Incorpo∣rations, an. 1648.

Jan. 14. Edm. Scrope eldest Son of Col. Adrian Scrope mention'd among the Creations of Bachelaurs of Arts this year, was created by order of the Delegates of this University—This ingenious and most comely Gentleman, who had, by the endeavours of his Father, been made Fellow of Alls. Coll. by the favour of the Committee and Visitors, was afterwards Keeper of the Privy Seal in the Kingdom of Scotland. He died much lamented by those that knew him in 1658, or thereabouts, and was buried with solemnity by two or more Officers of Armes at Ch. Ch. alias the Grey-friers within Newgate in London.

Bach. of Div.

May 19. Matthew Barten sometimes Mast. of Arts of New Inn, now a sturdy, zealous and dayly Preacher up of the blessed cause in the Parliament Army, was actually created Bach. of Div, while the General, Lieut. General, and Officers were sitting in their re∣spective stalls.

It was the pleasure then of Fairfax and Cromwell that George Sikes, Jam. Baron, Joh. Dale and Josh. Cross, all zealous and dough∣ty Brethren for the said cause, might be created Bachelaurs of Div. when they pleased.

June 8. George Sikes was created in a Convocation then held.—This person, who was Son of George Sikes of Lutterworth in Leyce∣stershire, was originally of S. Johns Coll, (a Servitour I think) and as a member of it he took the degrees in Arts. Afterwards siding with the faction, he became a Presbyterian, a Covenantier, an In∣dependent, was made Fellow of Magd. Coll, by the Com. and Vi∣sitors, (where he had his share of the old gold or spurroyals belong∣ing to that house, went away with, and never restored, them again as others did and took the Engagement, became a great admirer and follower of Sir Hen. Vane junior, and therefore esteemed by

the generality an Anabaptist, Fifth-monarchy man, and a Hodg∣podge of religions. He hath written The life and death of Sir Hen. Vane Knight: or, a short narrative of the main passages of his earth∣ly pilgrimage. Printed 1662 in qu. 'Tis a most canting, and en∣thusiastical piece, and the effects rather of a craz'd than setled brain: And instead of giving the Reader an account of the birth, extract, breeding, actions, &c. of that Knight, usually called Sir Humerous Vanity, he puts the Reader off with his (such as 'tis) Di∣vinity. What else he hath written I know not, nor any thing be∣sides of the person, only that he was a great encourager of Henry Stubbe in his proceedings.

James Baron lately made Divinity Reader of Magd. Coll. by the Com. and Visitors, was created the same day—He was Son of George Baron of Plymouth in Devons, had been puritanically educa∣ted in Exeter Coll, and closing with the dominant party in the time of the rebellion, got besides his Readers place, to be Minister of one of the Hendreths in Berks, and by the name of Mr. James Baron of Hendreth, he was appointed one of the Assistants to the Commissioners of that County for the ejection of such whom the Saints called scandalous, ignorant and insufficient Ministers and Schoolmasters, that is Orthodox and Loyal Clergy. After his Ma∣jesties restauration he retired to London and lived a Nonconfor∣mist mostly at, or near, Bunhill. He hath published under the name of Jacobus Baronius a little thing printed on one side of a sheet, entit. Quaestiones Theologicae in usum Coll. Magd Oxon. Oxon. 1657: And with Thankful Owen did gather and publish the works of Thom. Goodwin in two vol. in fol. and set before them a canting preface. He died in the beginning of the year 1683 and was buried, as I have been informed, near the graves of the Goodwin and Owen in the fanatical burial place near Bunhill-fields, and the New Artillery-yard.

John Dale of Magd. Coll, was created the same day, June 8.

As for Joshua Cross he was not created Bach. of Div. but Doct. of the Civil Law, as I shall anon tell you.

Febr. 16. Sim. Ford of Ch. Ch. was created by dispensation of the Delegates—On the 12. of Jan. going before, the said Delegates decreed that the said Mr. Ford. sometimes of Magd. Hall, who had been expelled the Ʋniversity with great injury, (as they said) should be restored with all Academical honour imaginable, and that his Grace be proposed for Bach. of Divinity, &c. He proceeded Doct. of Div. in 1665.

Mar. 14. Will. Durham sometimes of New Inn, now Chaplain to Will. Lenthall Master of the Rolls, was created in Convocation by dispensation of the Delegates.

Doct. of Law.

May 19. Thomas Lord Fairfax Baron of Camerone in Scotland, Generalissimo of all the Parliament Forces in England, and Consta∣ble of the Tower of London, was created Doctor of the Civil Law, being then in Oxford and entertained by the members thereof as Cromwell and divers prime Officers were.—The ceremony of the Creation was thus: After he had been adorned with a scarlet gown in the Apoditerium or Vestry belonging to the Convocation, but without hood or cap, the new Beadles, who had not yet got their silver staves from those that were lately ejected, conducted him with Cromwell towards the upper end of the Convocation House, the members thereof then standing up bare; whereupon Hierom Zanchy one of the Proctors rising from his seat, which pro tempore was sup∣plied by a Master, and going to, and standing on, his left side took him by the right hand and presented him in a most humble po∣sture to the Vicechanc. and Proctors standing, with a short flatter∣ing Lat. speech, such as 'twas: Which being done and he who then held the Chancellours Chair (Dr. Chr. Rogers) admitting him with another flattering speech, by his authority, or rather observance, Zanchy and the Beadles conducted him up to the next place on the right hand of the Chancellours Chair.

This person who made a great noise in his time, not only in Eng∣land, but throughout a great part of the world, was Son and Heir of Ferdinando Lord Fairfax a busie and forward man in Yorkshire in raising men and maintaining the Parliament cause against his Maje∣sty, by the Lady Mary his Wife Daughter of Edmund Lord Shef∣field Earl of Mulgrave; which Ferdinando dying 13. March 1647, aged 64 years, was buried in the Church of Bolton Percy in York∣shire. As for his Son Thomas, whom we are farther to mention, he was born at Denton in the Parish of Otlay in the same County, in January, 1611 (9. Jac. 1.) and was baptized at Denton on the 25 of the said month. After he had spent some time in S. Johns Coll. in Cambridge, (to which afterwards, in his latter days, he was a benefactor) he went beyond the Seas, and spent the rest of his youth in martial discipline under the command of Horatio Lord Vere; among whose forces he trailed a Pike in the Low Countries, was at the considerable action of the taking of Busse in Flanders, but had no command while he was there. Afterwards he retired to his Fathers house, and took to Wife Anne the Daughter and Coheir of the said Lord Vere, by whom he had issue Mary, born 3. July 1636 and Elizabeth. The first of which was married to George Villiers Duke of Buckingham, 19. Nov. 1657. In the beginning of the re∣bellion in 1642, when his Majesty was forced to raise a Guard at York for the defence of his Person, this Sir Thomas Fairfax who was entrusted by his Country to prefer a petition to his Majesty, the scope whereof was to beseech him to hearken to his Parliament and not raise Forces, he did accordingly deliver it, but his Majesty refusing it, as a Parliamentarian (a) 1.33 Writer tells us, he press'd it

with that instance and intention, following the King so close there∣with in the Field call'd Heyworth-moor in the presence of near a hundred thousand People of the County (the like appearance was ever hardly seen in Yorkshire) that he at last did tender the same upon the pomel of his saddle. But finding no propitiatory, as the said author tells us, and seeing a War could not be avoided, he early paid the vows of his martial education; and as soon as the unhappy troubles brake forth, he took a Commission under his Fa∣ther Ferdinando before mention'd, whose timely appearance and performances for the Rebels in the North, deserves a story of it self. He had not served the Parliament in lower commands long, but that the great Masters at Westminster did vote him their General, 31. Dec. 1644, at which time they cashier'd Robert Earl of Essex of that high command, with whom they had sworn 12. July 1642, to live and dye. This making of a new General was done when the Parliament ordered their Army to be new modell'd: So that victo∣ry in a manner being prepared to his hand, he vigorously proceeded, and what he did in a short time for the blessed cause, which is too much here to be set down, let the author (*) 1.34 of Englands recovery, &c. tell you; who, tho in the latter end of that book, p. 321. he doth highly characterize him, especially for his religion but little for policy, yet a severe Presbyterian (b) 1.35 will tell you that he was a Gentleman of an irrational and brutish valour, fitter to follow ano∣ther mans counsel than his own, and obnoxious to Cromwell and the Independent faction, (upon whose bottom he stood for his preferment) it having been no dishonour to him to become the property of another mans faction, &c. adding (c) 1.36 these matters, but what will not a fool in authority do when he is possest by knaves? Miserable man! His foolery did so long wait upon Cromwells and Iretons knavery, that it was not safe for him then to see his folly and throw by his cap with a bell and his bable. Elsewhere (d) 1.37 he speaks of his ill breeding and churlishness, of (e) 1.38 his being a Cypher, or Prepositor in the Free∣school called the Army, while Cromwell was Head-master, and Ireton Ʋsher, &c. that (f) 1.39 he was a stalking horse, a Brute, &c. and indeed his Majesty K. Ch. 1. doth once, at least, in his works stile him the brutish General, as being a person not fit to hearken to rea∣son. When the War was terminated, and no enemy either in Field or Garrison left, he went to London in Nov. 1646 where he was in a most high manner joyed and caressed by the Citizens of London and Parliament for the great service he had done for the Commonwealth, and nothing was thought too good or great for him. After his Majesty was taken away from Holdenby and con∣veyed to Childerley, Newmarket, &c. he expressed himself civil to him, as he did afterwards at Hampton-court, but then having no pious frauds in him, or dissimulation for a good end, he did not, or could not endeavour, as being no politician, to countermand the diabolical designs of Cromwell and the hellish crew. He did not endeavour to repell or hinder the Remonstrance of the Army, the purging of the House of Commons of its chief members, the Agree∣ment of the People, &c. but was lull'd on in a kind of stupidity. 'Tis true that before the King was beheaded (in order to whose trial he was nominated the chief Judge but did not sit) he did use his power and interest to have the execution defer'd for some days, forbearing his coming among the Officers, and did fully resolve with his own Regiment to prevent the execution, or have it defer'd till he could make a party in the Army to second his design: But be∣hold his policy! all the morning of that day on which the King was beheaded, and the time when he was beheaded, he was with certain Officers of the Army at Prayer or in discourse, or both, in Maj. Tho. Harrisons apartment in Whitehall, (being a room at the hither end of that Gallery looking towards the Privy-garden) and knew no∣thing of it; as it doth appear by this passage. When his Majesty was beheaded on a Scaffold joyning to the Banquetting-house at Whitehall, and his Corps thereupon immediatly coffin'd and cover∣ed with a black velvet Pall, Bishop Juxon who attended him on the Scaffold, and Thomas Herbert the only Groom of his Bedcham∣ber that was then left, did go with the said Corps to the Back-stairs to have it embalm'd, and Mr. Herbert, after the body had been de∣posited, meeting with Fairfax the General, Fairfax asked him how the King did? whereupon Herbert looking very strangely upon him, he told him that the King was beheaded, at which he seem'd much surpriz'd. Afterwards Herbert walking farther in the Gallery with the said Bishop, they were met by another great Commander nam∣ed Ol. Cromwell, who knew what had lately past, for he told them unasked, that they should have orders for the Kings burial speedily, as I have been informed by the Letters of the said Thomas Herbert. In little more than a fortnight after, viz. Feb. 14. an. 1648. General Fairfax was elected one of the Council of State, consisting of 30 persons, and soon after, when K. Ch. 2. ship'd himself near the Hague in Holland to go to Scotland there to be invested in his right, he laid down his Commission as General, being influenc'd thereunto by certain Presbyterian Ministers, because he would not engage against him; whereupon Cromwell was made General in his place, and how he afterwards acted against that King, especially when he went into England to obtain his right, all Histories will tell you. Afterwards the Lord Fairfax retired to his Seat in York∣shire, lived there mostly during the Reign of Oliver, was ready to rise with the people of his County, to assist Sir George Booth in Cheshire, if any ways successful, and soon after did not only appear in the head of a great party, when the forces belonging to Col. Jo. Lambert began to desert him, when they were about to fight Gen. Monke, at what time he was coming into Engl. from Scot. to restore

the Rump, but declared with his party in Decemb. 1659 against il∣legal taxes and free-quarter, as also for the freedom of a Parliament; as it was in the year 1648. On the 2. Jan. 1659, the Rump Par∣liament then sitting, he was by them appointed one of the Council of State, and in Apr. following being elected the first Knight for the County of York to serve in that Parliament which began at Westminster on the 25 of the said month, he was by the members thereof appointed one of those 12 Commons, to go with those persons appointed by the House of Lords to attend on his Majesty in Holland, for the greater solemnity and luster of his Court there. On the 16 of May following they were there with his Majesty at the Hague, where Fairfax drew upon him the curiosity and eye•• of all men, as known to them by name to have been Captain Ge∣neral of the Parliament Army. And when the first ceremony was past, he desired, as 'tis said, to see the King in private and to ask him pardon for the past offences, which accordingly he did with all submission. After the said Parliament was dissolv'd, he retired to his seat, lived retiredly, and dying there, was buried in an Isle joyning on the south side to the Chancel of Bilborough or Bilburgh near York. Over his grave was soon after pur this Epitaph. Here lye the bodies of the right honorable Thomas Lord Fairfax of Denton, Baron of Camerone, who died Novemb. the 12, an. 1671 in the six∣tieth year of his age. And of Anne his Wife Daughter and Coheir of Horatio Lord Vere Baron of Tilbury. He had Issue Mary Duchess of Buckingham and Elizabeth. Under this Lord Fairfax his name were published while he bore armes for the Parliament, especially when General, Many Letters, (of which most were to the Speaker of the House of Commons) some Relations concerning skirmishes, battles, taking of Castles, Towns, &c. As also Remonstrances, De∣clarations, Speeches, Messages, &c. He was a great lover of learn∣ing, religious in the way he professed, and when Oxford Garrison was surrendred for the use of the Parliament, he took great care for the preservation of the publick Library, which in several respects did suffer while the Garrison was possest by the Royal Party: And what he did for it at the time of his death I have elsewhere told you.

May 19. Oliver Cromwell Lieutenant General of the Parliament Army was then also created Dr. of the Civ. Law—He was con∣ducted with Fairfax by the Beadles towards the upper end of the Convocation, the members thereof then standing bare, and was presented by Zanchy with a flattering speech in a most humble po∣sture; which being done he that then held the Chancellours Chair, who all the time stood up bare, admitted him with another flat∣tering speech, by his authority or rather observance. Which being done Zanchy and the Beadles conducted him to his place next on the left hand to the Chancellours Chair.

This person also who had a greater name in his time than Fairfax had, not only in England but throughout the whole World, (which he obtained more by policy, dissimulation under the cloak of reli∣gion, whether in prayer, preaching, discourse and action, rather than valour) must according to method have something said of him, which shall with as much brevity as may be done, because all Histories ring of his fame as well as infamy. Born therefore he was in the Parish of S. John in the antient Borough of Huntingdon on the (a) 1.40 24 of Apr. 1599 (41. of Elizab.) and was Christned (b) 1.41 in that Church on the 29 of the same month, where Sir Oliver Cromwell his Uncle gave him his name. His Father, who lived in the same Town, was Rob. Cromwell, second Son of Sir Hen. Cromwell of Hinchingbrook in Huntingdonshire Kt. (who died in 1603) His Mo∣ther was Elizabeth sister (c) 1.42 to Sir Thomas, Son (d) 1.43 of Sir Richard Steward Kts; whence 'twas that when Oliver gaped after the Pro∣tectorship, it was given out by those of his party, that he was des∣cended of the Royal Blood, and had right to the Crown of Eng∣land. His said Mother Elizabeth lived to See her Son Lord Prote∣ctor, and dying in Whitehall 18. Nov. 1654, was buried in K. Hen. 7. Chappel at Westm. where her body continuing till after his Majesties restoration, was removed from that place, 12. of Sept. 1661, and buried with other Cromwellian bodies in a pit dug in S. Margarets Church-yard adjoyning, where it now resteth. Oliver her Son was educated in Grammar learning in the Free-school at Huntingdon under one Dr. Tho. Beard a Minister in that Town, and in Acade∣mical in Sidney Coll. in Cambridge, but his Father dying while he was there, he was taken home and sent to Lincolns Inn to study the Common Law, but making nothing of it, he was sent for home by his Mother, became a Debauchee and a boysterous and rude Fel∣low. At length being reformed, and pretending to Saintship, he married Elizabeth Daughter of Sir James Bouchier of Essex, became heir to his Uncle, his Mothers Brother, spent the estate which was considerable, took a Farm at S. Ives, thrived not and therefore had intentions to go to New England, a receptacle for Puritans and Non∣conformists; but that project taking not, he removed to the Isle of Ely, where he more frequently and publickly own'd himself a Teach∣er. In 1640 he, by the endeavours of one Rich. Tyms, (afterwards Alderman of Cambridge) who had several times heard him preach at Ely, was first made free of the Corporation of Cambridge, then a Burgess thereof to sit in that unhappy Parliament, which began at Westm. 3. Nov. 1640. Soon after, when the rebellion began, to∣wards which he gave a considerable helping hand, he had a Com∣mission given to him to be a Captain of Horse, which he soon rais∣ed in his native Country, and doing great service in those parts, he soon after was made a Colonel, and at length Lieutenant General

to Edward Earl of Manchester, who had the separate command in a distinct supremacy of the associated Counties. Afterwards do∣ing great service at Marston-moor near York, after Sir Tho. Fa••rfax and the Scots had been totally routed there, Cromwell and his party of Curassiers being then in the left wing, his atchievment was in∣dustriously cried up at Westminster and all the Grandees of Scriptu∣ral Ovation were fitted and accommodated thereunto. Within 4 months after, we find him in the second battle at Newbury in Be••ks, where the fates favoured him again, tho not with a complete vi∣ctory, yet on that side where he fought, with a part of one; and so much as endangered the Person of the King, if the noble and stout Earl of Cleveland had not hazardously interposed, and bore off the pursuit. Soon after the Army being new modell'd, Essex the General was laid aside as unfortunate, and Sir Thomas Fairfax being put into his place, Cromwell was made Lieutenant General of the same Army; from which time he continued, as Fairfax did, victorious, and upon all occasions did lull, and bewitch, with the syrene charmes of his zealous insinuations, the said Fairfax to carry on his pernitious designs. Afterwards we find him the chief person, under the cloak of great dissimulation, of hurrying the King from place to place, of defaming him among the people, and bringing him to judgment: Which done he sat with the rest of the Judges on him, stood up when sentence was passed, and set his hand and seal to the warrant for his execution. Soon after, he being made one of the Council of State, he was ordained Commander in chief or Lord Governour of Ireland, in June 1649, conquer'd there, returned and was made General of the Parliament Army upon Fairfax's lay∣ing down his Commission. Afterwards he went into Scotland, did some seats there against K. Ch. 2, but that King giving him the go-by, he followed him into England, encountred him at Worcester conquer'd his party and put him to flight▪ Thence he went to London, and was highly caressed by the Citizens and Parliament, and soon after dissolving the Parliament, he called another, but that being not suitable to his designs, he dissolv'd that, and took upon him the Protectorship; which he enjoyed during his life time. Under his name were published Many Letters written to the Speaker of the House of Commons, to the House of Commons, Sir Thomas Fairfax, Committees, &c. containing relations of skirmishes, vi∣ctories, taking of Castles, Towns, &c. as also some Speeches and Declarations, &c. By his Wife Elizabeth before mention'd, he had Sons and Daughters as (1) Rich. Cromwell, who being young when the War began did not bear arms, but several years after they were concluded, he was made Colonel and Privy-Counsellour in order to have the Protectorship confer'd on him. (2) Henry Cromwell, afterwards Commander of the Generals Life-guard, and at length on the 25 of Nov. 1657, was constituted Lord Lieutenant of Ire∣land, upon the recalling of Charles Fleetwood. He married the Dau. of Sir Francis Russell of Cambridgshire Kt and Bt, first a Royallist afterwards a Parliament Colonel of Foot under the Earl of Man∣ch••ster and Chamberlain of Chester. (3) Bridget the Wife of Hen. Ireton, of whom I have made mention among the Writers an. 1651. p. 81. After his death she was married to Charles Fleetwood before mention'd, a Gent. of Bucks. and a Recruiter of the Long Parlia∣ment, afterwards a Colonel in their service, a strong Anabaptist, Lord Deputy of Ireland, one of Olivers Lords and Lieutenant Ge∣neral of the Army, and Major General of several Counties in the time of Cromwells Protectorship. (4) Elizabeth the Wife of John Cleypole a Gent. of N••rthamptonshire, made by Oliver Master of the Horse, one of his House of Lords, and a Knight and Baronet 16. of July 1657, he being then Clerk of the Hamper. The said Eli∣zabeth died 7. Aug. 1658, and was buried in Henry the Sevenths Chap. at Westm. in a Vault made on purpose. (5) Mary, the se∣cond Wife of Thom. Bellasyse Vicount Fauconberg or Fauconbridge, married to him with a great deal of state at Hampton-Court on the 18 of Nov. 1657; much about which time he was made one of Olivers Lords. Several years after his Majesties restauration he was made Captain of the Guard of Pensioners. (6) Frances the young∣est Daughter was married to Mr. Rob. Rich the only Son of Robert Lord Rich, Son of Robert Earl of Warwick, on the 11 of Nov. 1657, and about the same time was made one of Olivers Lords or of the Other House. This Mr. R. Rich died 16. of Feb. 1657, his Father on the 29. of May 1659, and his Grandfather on the 18 of Apr. 1658. Oliver Cromwell had also four Sisters; one of which was married to John Desborow a Yeoman and a great lubberly Clown, who by Olivers interest became a Colonel, and if not of the Long, yet of the Little Parliament, which he helped to break. About that time he became one of the Generals at Sea, helped to set up his Brother in Law Protector, for which he was made one of his Council, Major General of divers Counties in the West, one of the Lords of the Cinque-ports, and of the other House, &c. Ano∣ther Sister was married to Roger Whetstone an Officer in the Parlia∣ment Army, but he dying before Oliver came to his greatness, she was remarried to Joh. Jones a pretended Gent. of Wales, a Re∣cruiter of the Long Parliament and a Colonel, afterwards one of the Kings Judges, Governour of the Isle of Anglesie, one of the Commissioners of Parliament for the government of Ireland (in which office he acted tyrannically) and one of the other House, that is H. of Lords belonging to Cromwell, &c. He was hang'd, drawn and quarter'd at Charing-cross for having had a hand in the murder of his Prince, on the 17. Oct. 1660. A third Sister was married to Va∣lentine Walton of Stoughton in Huntingdonshire, afterwards a Colonel in the Parliament Army, and one of the Judges of K. Ch. 1. After her death he married the Daughter of one Pimm of Brill in Bucks (Widow of Austen of the same place) but upon the foresight of the return of Monarchy he fled from Justice to save his neck, setled either in Flanders or the Low Countries, and lived unknown for

some time in the condition of a Gardiner with a certain Gentle∣man. At length being sick, and foreseeing he should die, disco∣vered himself to have been a man of fashion, and desir'd that after his death his near relations in England might be acquainted with it. His said second Wife retired after his Majesties restoration to Oxon, and living in an obscure condition in Cat-street, died mean∣ly on the 14 Nov. 1662, and was buried in S. M••ries Church. A fourth Sister named Robina was married to Peter French D. D. and after his death to Dr. John Wilkins as I have told you elsewhere, whereby she hung upon, and was maintained by the revenues of, the Church to her last. Oliver Cromwell had several Uncles, whose descendents taking not part with him, only one or two; they were not prefer'd by him. He had also five Aunts, the eldest of which named Joane was married to Francis Barrington, whose Son Robert was countenanced by Oliver. The second named Elizabeth, was Wife of John Hamden of Hamden in Bucks, Father of John Ham∣den one of the 5. members of Parliament excepted against by K. Ch. 1, and a Colonel for the Parliament in the beginning of the rebellion; which John lost his life in their service in June 1643. By this match Oliver Cromwell came to be related to the Ingoldesbies and Goodwins of Bucks. The third named Frances was the second Wife of Rich. Whalley of Kirton in Nottinghamshire, Father to Edward Whalley a Colonel in the Parliament Army, one of the Kings Judges, Com∣missary General in Scotland, one of Olivers Lords and a Major Ge∣neral. He fled from justice upon the approach of the return of K. Ch. 2, and lived and died in a strange Land.

But now after these large digressions, let's return to the rest of the Creations this year.

Feb. 16. Joshua Cross lately of Linc. Coll, and sen. Proctor, now Fellow of that of Magd, and Natural Philosophy Reader of the University by the authority of the Committee and Visitors, was then actually created Doctor of the Civil Law by the favour of Fairfax and Cromwell lately in Oxon—Soon after he left his Fel∣lowship, because he took to him a Wife, but keeping his Readers place till his Majesties return, was then discharg'd of it by the Commissioners appointed by his Majesty for the regulation of the University. He died in his house near Magd. Coll. 9. May 1676 aged 62 years, and was buried in the North Isle joyning to the Chancel of the Church of S. Peter in the East, within the City of Oxon.

In a meeting of the Delegates of the University the same day, just before the Convocation began, wherein Cross was created, it was consulted among them, that some Academical honour should be confer'd on Hierome Zanchy the Proctor, then a Colonel in Ireland for the service of the Parliament. At length it was Concluded that he should be adorned with the degree of Doctor of Civil Law in the beginning of the next year, but whether it was done, o•• that he was diplomated, it appears not.

Doct. of Phys.

June 13. Thomas Sclater M. A. of Trin. Coll. in Cambridge was created by vertue of the Commendatory Letters of the Chancellour of the University, which say, that he was put upon this recommen∣dation by Sir Thom. Widdrington, &c. This Thomas Sclater was Bur∣gess for the University of Cambridge to serve in Richards Parliament, an. 1658.

Feb. 16. John Wilkinson sometimes of Magd. Hall, now one of the Visitors of the University of Oxon, was created by vertue of a dispensation from the Delegates—He was nephew to Dr. John Wilkinson President of Magd. Coll, and Brother to Dr. Henry Wil∣kinson Princ. of Magd. Hall, lived afterwards at Doncaster in York∣shire, where he practiced among the Godly party, and dying in 1655, was buried at Arksey near to that place. I have made men∣tion of two of both his names that were Writers, in the Fasti of the first vol. pag. 816. 817, but this John the Physitian was no Writer.

Mar. 7. Will. Petty about this time Fellow of Brasn. Coll, was created by vertue of a dispensation from the Delegates of the Uni∣versity, who had received sufficient testimony of his rare qualities and gifts from L. Col. Kelsey the Deputy Governour of Oxford Gar∣rison.

Doct. of Div.

July 24. Daniel Greenwood Bach. of Div. sometimes Fellow of Brasn. Coll, lately made Principal of the said Coll. by the Committee and Visitors, was then actually created Doct. of Div.—He was a severe and good Governour, as well in his Vicechancellourship as Principality, continued in his Coll. till the Kings return, and then being discharg'd by the Kings Commissioners to make room for Dr. Thom. Yate, he and his wife retired to Studley near Oxford and continued there in a private condition till her death. Afterwards he lived in the House of his Nephew Mr. Dan. Greenwood Rector of Steeple-Aston near Dedington in Oxfordshire, where dying 29. January 1673 was buried in the Chancel of the Church there; and soon after had a Mon. put over his grave.

• July 24. Franc. Cheynell Presid. of S. Joh. Coll.
• July 24. Hen. Wilkinson Senior, Can. of Ch Ch.

Dec. 18. John Wilkins Warden of Wadh. Coll.

Henry Langley Master of Pembr. Coll, was created the same day.—This person, who was originally Fellow of the same Coll, was made Master thereof by order of Parliament, 26. Aug. 1647, and established therein by the Visitors on the 8. of Octob. following, he being then one of the six Ministers appointed by Parliament, to preach at S. Maries and elsewhere in Oxon, to draw off the Scholars from their Orthodox Principles. In the beginning of the year fol∣lowing

he was made Canon of Ch. Ch. in the place of Dr. G. Mor∣ley ejected by the Visitors; but being forced to leave his two pla∣ces after his Majesties restauration, he retired to Tubney near Besills-Lee and Abendon in Berks, where he instructed the sons of dissent∣ing brethren in Academical Learning, as 'twas usually reported, and oftentimes preached in Conventicles at Abendon, of which place his father Thomas Langley had been a Shoomaker. He died about the 10 of Sept. 1679, and was buried in S. Helens Church in Abendon. One of both his names, Minister of Treswell in Notting∣hamshire hath written and published The Chariot and Horsemen of Israel: A discourse of Prayer, &c. Lond. 1616. oct. and other things, but whether he was ever of Oxon, I cannot tell.

About the same time when the two last persons were created, it was granted to Henry Cornish Bach. of Div. and Canon of Ch. Ch, that he, if he please, might be actually created Doct. of Div. but he refused it and was not. This person who was Son of Will. Cor∣nish of Ditthet in Somersetshire, was originally a poor Scholar of New Inn and an Assistant to the Butler there to put on, (or enter battles) in the buttery book; and as he had been puritannically educated at home, so more under Dr. Rogers Principal of the same Inn. Afterwards he took the degr. in Arts and became a puling Preacher, left Oxon when it was garrison'd for his Majesty, preach∣ed among the Godly party, and was appointed by the Parliament with Langley before mention'd, Corbet, Cheynell, &c. to preach the Scholars into obedience to the then Powers: For which his service he was made Canon of Ch. Ch. in the place of Dr. Rob. Sanderson ejected. After his Majesties restauration he was removed, and preached in these parts as a Nonconformist till the Five-mile-Act was made, and then retiring to Stanton Harcourt in Oxfordshire, where he was patroniz'd by Sir Philip Harcour•• a favourer of such like persons, (as having been educated in their Principles by one of the Parl. Generals named Sir Will. Waller, who had married his mother) he lived and carried on the trade there for many years, and took all occasions to preach elsewhere when the Indulgences for tender Consciences were granted, and did sometimes (after K. Will. 3. came to the Crown) preach in an antiquated Dancing-School just without the north Gate of Oxon, to which place many people did usually resort. Afterwards this Meeting was translated to a house in S. Ebbes Parish, where it now (1691) continueth, and is chiefly carried on by a certain person who has received some education in Cambridge, &c. In the year 1690 Mr. Cornish left Stanton Harcourt, and translated himself to a market Town in Ox∣fordshire called Bister, where he now holds forth. So that he who had been a licensed Preacher by the Blessed Parliament, as it was by the Brethren so called, and had been Canon of Ch. Ch, and much respected by those of his perswasion while he lived in Oxon, for a godly man, doth now in his old age, being about 80 years old, preach in a Barn in the said Town of Bister for profit sake to silly wo∣men and other obstinate people, such is the poor spirit of the person.

Feb. 16. Edward Hinton was then actually created Doctor of the said faculty by the favour of the Delegates of the University.—This person, who was son of a father of both his names of Marlbo∣rough in Wilts, Minister of Gods word, was elected Prob. Fellow of Mert. Coll. 1629, (having been before Post-master of that house) took his Masters degree, became Vicar of Maldon in Surrey by the presentation of his Coll, an. 1639, ran with the Presbyterians in the beginning of the Rebellion, and was a Preacher up of Sedition and Discontent among them. After the War was ceased, he be∣came Rector of Islip in the County of Oxon, in the place, as I sup∣pose, of a Loyalist ejected, which by conformity after his Majesties restauration, and the death of the former Incumbent, he kept to the day of his death. He hath published, The vanity of Self-boast∣ers, Sermon at the funeral of Joh. Hamnet Gent. late of Maldon in Surrey, on Psal. 52.1. Oxon. 1651. qu. He died 22 July 1678, and was buried in the Chancel of the Church at Islip: Whereupon Rob. South D. D. and Preb. of Westminster, succeeded him in that Rectory.

In the month of January this year, the Delegates of the Univer∣sity gave leave to four persons thereof that they might supplicate the ven. Congr. or Convoc. for the degr. of Doctor of Div. viz. (1) Tho. Goodwin the new President of Magd. Coll. but he being not yet setled, did not. See more among the created Doctors of Div. 1653. (2) George Marshall the new Warden of New Coll, who refused it. (3) Edw. Pococke Canon of Ch. Ch, but he being soon after turned out for denying the Engagement, he did not then take that degree. (4) Ralph Button M. or A, Orator of the Univ. and Canon of Ch. Ch, who being newly married, or upon the point of Marriage, refused to be at the charge, and so continued in the degree of Master all his life time.—This person who was the son of Robert Button of Bishopston in Wiltshire, was originally of Exeter Coll. where, being put under the tuition of a puritanni∣cal Tutor, he made so great a progress in philosophical and other Literature, that when he was Bachelaur of Arts he was recom∣mended by Dr. Prideaux his Rector to Sir Nath. Brent Warden of Merton Coll, to stand for a Fellowship there: Whereupon an Ele∣ction being appointed in 1633, very many stood, and twelve were chosen Probationer Fellows, whereof the said Ralph Button being one, Prideaux said after his joking way, that all the Election besides him was not worth a Button. Afterwards he became a noted Tutor in the House, and several of his Pupils became some of them fa∣mous and some infamous. When the Rebellion began, he left Oxon, being puritannically affected, and especially because he would not bear Arms for his Majesty while Oxford was a Garrison, or be any way contributary thereunto. When the War was ceased he returned, took Pupils again, became one of the Proctors (tho out of course) in 1648, as I have before told you; and while he

bore that office he was, upon the refusal of Dr. E. Corbet, made Canon of Ch. Ch. and Orator of the University, in the place of the learned and religious Dr. H. Hammond. After his Majesties restau∣ration he was discharg'd of his Canonry and Oratorship, and when he was in removing his goods from his lodgings in the Cloister at Ch. Ch, to make room for Mr. Joh. Fell, he would usually say, when he heard the two little bells ring to canonical Prayers, There now go the Mass-bells, and let those that are affected that way go to the Church, for be sure I shall not, or words to that effect. Afterwards retiring with his family to London, he setled at Islington near to that City, where he preached in Conventicles and taught youths to the time of his death; which hapning in the latter end of Octob. 1680, was buried in the Church there, with his son, who died at or near the same time of a Consumption.

Chanc.—The place of Chancellour being void by the death of Philip E. of Pembroke, the Visitors assumed the power thereof into their hands till the first of January this year: On which day a Con∣vocation being assembled, the then members of the University did unanimously choose (leave being first granted by the Committee to make choice of a fit person) Oliver Cromwell Generalissimo of the Parliament Forces now on foot in England. Which office, (after he had been acquainted what the Convocation had done by certain Doctors and Masters sent to him, then at Edinburgh in Scotland) he kindly accepted, and forthwith promised to be a friend to the University, by his canting Letter sent thereunto dated at that place on the 4 of Feb. following, part of which runs thus,—

But if these prevail not, (meaning some Exceptions for the refusal of the Office) and that I must continue this honour until I can perso∣nally serve you, you shall not want my prayers, that that seed and stock of Piety and Learning (so marvelously springing up among you) may be useful to that great and glorious Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ; of the approach of which so plentiful an effu∣sion of the spirit upon those hopeful plants is one of the best presa∣ges. And in all other things I shall by the divine assistance improve my poor abilities and interests in manifesting my self to the Uni∣versity and your selves, &c.

Which Letter being read in Convo∣cation, the members thereof made the House resound with their cheerful Acclamations.

Vicechanc. Daniel Greenwod D. D. Principal of Brasn. Coll. 12. Oct, having been on the 12 of Sept. going before nominated and de∣signed to that Office by the Committee for the reformation of the University, the Chancellourship being then void.

Proct.

• ... Thankful Owen of Linc. Coll. Apr. 24.
• ... Philip Stephens of New Coll. Apr. 24.

These Proctors were elected contrary to the Carolyne Cicle, which appointed Trin. and Wadh. Colleges to elect this year. So that the Cicle being interrupted (for those Colleges did not choose till the year following) it continued so till 1662, as I shall tell you when I come to that year.

Bach. of Arts.

• May 23. Hamlet Puleston of Jes. Coll.
• Nov. 17. Will. Masters of Mert. Coll.

Dec. 16. Rob. Lovel of Ch. Ch.—He was afterwards an excellent Botanist, wrot Enchiridion Botanicum, &c. and other things, and therefore he is hereafter to be numbred among the Writers, being, as I conceive, now living.

• Feb. 7. Thom. Ashton of Brasn. Coll.
• Feb. 7. Joh. Smith of Brasn. Coll.

Of the first of these two, you may see more among the Masters 1653.

• 18. Will. Cole of Mert. Coll.
• Mar. 11. Joh. Hall of Pemb. Coll.

The last of these two was afterwards Bishop of Bristow.

18. Christopher Wren of Wadh. Coll.—He was afterwards Fel∣low of Alls. Coll. and an eminent Mathematician.

Adm. 96.

This year Thom. Clifford of Exeter Coll. did supplicate for the degree of Bach. of Arts; but whether he was admitted it appears not—This person who was son of Hugh Clifford of Ʋgbrook in the Parish of Chudleigh in Devonsh. Col. of a Regiment of Foot in the first Expedition against the Scots, by Mary his wife, dau. of George Chudleigh of Ashton in the said County Baronet, was born there (at Ʋgbrook) on the first of Aug. 1630, became Commoner of Ex. Coll. 25 May 1647, and afterwards went to one of the Inns of Court, or to travel, or both, being then accounted by his Contem∣poraries a young man of a very unsetled head, or of a roving shat∣ter'd brain. In the beginning of Apr. 1660 he was elected one of the Burgesses for Totness in his own Country, to serve in that Parl. which began at Westm. on the 25 of the same month; and after his Majesties restauration, he was chose Burgess again for the same place to serve in that Parl. which began 8 May 1661: Wherein shewing himself a frequent and forward Speaker, especially in be∣half of the Kings Prerogative, he was taken notice of by the great men at Court, and thereupon taken into favour, and had the ho∣nour of Knighthood confer'd upon him. Afterwards he attended James D. of York at sea, an. 1665, in the battel fought against the Dutch in the beginning of June, continued at sea also the same year when the Fleet was commanded by Edward E. of Sandwich,

and was in person at the Expedition at Bergen in Norway: Which attempt upon the Dutch in that Port, was made on the 2 of Aug. the same year. He was also in that year sent Envoy to the two northern Kings of Sweden and Denmark, with full power to con∣clude new Treaties and Alliances with them. In 1666 he attended his Highness Pr. Rupert and the Duke of Albemarle at sea against the Dutch, and was in that fight which continued on the 1.2.3. and 4. days of June, being with the same Generals also upon the 25 of July following in another great fight with the Dutch. On the 8 Nov. following his Maj. gave him the White staff of Comptroller of his Houshold, in the place of Sir Hugh Pollard Kt. and Bt, who died the day before, and on the 5 of Decemb. following that, he was sworn one of his Maj. Privy Council, for his singular zeal, wherein he had, on all occasions, merited in his Maj. service, and more emi∣nently in the honorable dangers in the then late War against the Dutch and French, where he had been all along a constant Actor, and, as 'twas observed, had made it his choice to take his share in the warmest part of those services. On the 12 of June 1668 died Charles Visc. Fitzharding Treasurer of his Majesties Houshold, whereupon Sir Tho. Clifford changed his White staff, and was by his Maj. advanced to that place the day following; and Francis Lord Newport succeeded Clifford as Comptroller: Much about which time his Maj. by Patent made him one of the Lords Commissioners of his Treasury. In 1671 his Maj. gave him a lease of 60 years of the Pastures of Creslow in Bucks, and in the same year he finished a new Chappel at Ʋgbrook, which was consecrated, and dedicated to S. Cyprian, by Anthony Bishop of Exeter. Upon the death of Sir Joh. Trevor, and in the absence of Henry Earl of Arlington, he executed the office of Secretary of State in the year 1672, until the return of the said Earl from his Embassy into Holland, and Mr. Hen. Coventry from his Embassy into Sweden. On the 22 Apr. 1672 his Maj. by Patent created him Baron Clifford of Chudleigh in Devonsh, and in June following, he gave him and his heirs males the man∣nours of Cannington and Rodway Fitzpayne in Somersetshire. On the 28 of Nov. the same year, his Maj. valuing his many eminent ser∣vices, and his great abilities in experience in the affairs of his Trea∣sury, he was pleased to advance him to the place of L. High Trea∣surer of England, which had remained void since the death of Tho. late Earl of Southampton: At which time his Maj. confer'd the place of Treasurer of the Houshold on the L. Newport beforemention'd, and the place of Comptroller on Will. Lord Maynard. On the 29 Mar. 1673 an Act of Parl. pass'd for the entailing of Ʋgbrook, and the Rectory of Chudleigh on his Lordship and the heirs of his body, and on the 19 of June following he resigning into his Maje∣sties hands his staff, as L. Treasurer, (because he, as 'twas said, re∣fused the Test) it was thereupon given by his Maj. to Sir Tho. Os∣borne Kt. and Bt. In the beginning of the Winter following the L. Clifford died, and was, as I suppose, buried at Chudleigh.

Mar. 8. Cuthbert Sydenham lately of S. Alb. Hall, now a Presby∣terian Preacher at Newcastle upon Tyne, was created Master of Arts.

12. John Waterhouse who had been a Student for 18 years in Trin. Coll. in Cambr. was then created Doctor of Phys. by vertue of the Letters of Ol. Cromwell Gen. of the Parl. Army and Chanc. of this Univ. which partly run thus—Mr. Waterhouse went over into Ireland as Physitian to the Army there, of whose diligence, fideli∣ty and abilities I had much experience while I was there.—He con∣stantly attended the Army, and had to my knowledge done very much good to the Officers and Soldiers by his skill and industry. Whether this Joh. Waterhouse hath published any-thing I know not, sure I am that Edw. Waterhouse Esq. of the same family hath; in order to which he had spent some time as a Sojourner in Oxon, for the sake of the public Library in the time of Oliver. He hath written, A discourse and defence of Arms and Armory, shewing the natures and ri∣ses of Arms and Honour in England, from the Camp, the Court, the City, &c. Lond. 1660. oct: and wholly composed (as Sir Will. Dugdale hath enformed me) a book intit. The Sphere of Gentry: deduced from the principles of nature. An historical and genealogical work of Arms and Blazon, in 4 books. Lond. 1661. fol, published under the name of a busie and pragmatical person called Sylvanus Morgan an Arms-Painter living sometimes near the Old Exchange in London. 'Tis a rapsodical, indigested and whimsical work, and not in the least to be taken into the hands of any sober Scholar, unless it be to make him either laugh or wonder at the simplicity of some people. This Edw. Waterhouse Esq. one of the Royal Society and a cock-brain'd man (who hath published other things as the Bodleian Catalogue will tell you) did afterwards, by the perswa∣sion of the Archb. of Canterbury, take holy orders on him, and be∣came a fantastical Preacher.

May 29. Daniel Greenwood of Brasn. Coll.—This person who was son of Joh. Greenwood, was born at Sowerby in the Vicaridge of Halyfax in Yorksh, became Scholar of Christs Coll. in Cambr. an. 1645, or thereabouts, where spending as much time as made him capable for the degree of Bach. of Arts, went to Oxon, and, by the endeavours of his Uncle Dr. Dan. Greenwood Principal of Brasn. Coll, was made Fellow of that House in 1648, in which year se∣veral of the antient Fellows thereof were ejected for their Loyalty. In 1653 he became Rector of Steeple Aston near Dedington in Ox∣fordshire, by the presentation thereunto of the Princ. and Fellows of his Coll. and wrot and published (1) Sermon at Steeple-Aston in Oxfordshire at the funeral of Mr. Franc. Croke of that place, 2 Aug. 1672, on Isay 57.1.2. Oxon. 1680. qu. (2) Serm. at the funeral of Alex. Croke of Studley in Oxfordsh. Esq. buried at Chilton in Bucks, 24 Oct. 1672, on 2 Cor. 6. ver. 7.8.

Greenwood died suddenly of an apoplexy at Woodstock, an. 1679, and was buried in the Chancel of the Church of Steeple-Aston before mention'd, near to the body of his Uncle Dr. Dan. Greenwood. Over his grave is a table of marble fix'd to the north wall of the said Chancel containing an Epitaph for the said Do∣ctor and another for this his Nephew: Which last runs thus.—Heic etiam deponuntur reliquiae rev. viri Danielis Greenwood hujus Ec∣clesiae per anno xxv. Rectoris, qui singulari erga Deum pietate▪ pau∣peres munificentia, & omnibus quibus innotuit, humanitate, feliciter decurso hujus vitae stadio in caelest. Patriam festinans tristi sui desideri∣um moriens reliquit Octob. xiv, an. Dom. MDCLXXIX, aet. suae LI.

May 29. Rich. Adams of Brasn. Coll.—He was a Ministers son in Worral in Chesh▪ and originally of Cambridge, where he was examined and admitted in Arts, 26 Mar. 1644. Afterwards he went to Oxon, when the Garrison thereof was surrendred to the Parliament, was admitted a Student of Brasn Coll. 24 Mar. 1646, aged 20 years, and soon after made Fellow thereof. In 1655 he left his Fellowship, being about that time beneficed in Bread∣street in London, and in 1662 he was removed for Nonconformity; from which time to this he hath continued a Nonconformist Preach∣er, and now liveth, if I mistake not, in Southwark. Under his name hath been published several Sermons, as (1) The duties of Parents and Children, on Col. 3.20.21.—'Tis in the Supplement to the Morning exercise at Cripplegate. Lond. 1674. and 76. qu. (2) Of Hell, on Mat. 24.41.—'Tis in The Morning exercise methodized, &c. preached at S. Giles in the Fields in May 1659. Lond. 1676. qu.

A treatise of divine providence, &c. Before which they put an Epist. to the Reader giving a short (but imperfect) account of the said Charnock's life. See among the Writers in Steph. Charnock, an. 1680. p. 491.

• Jun. 18. Edw. Ba••shaw of Ch. Ch.
• Jun. 18. Hen. Eedes of Linc. Coll.

Of the last of these two is large mention made among the Wri∣ters: The other was originally of Cambridge▪ where he performed his exercise for Bach. of Arts. Afterwards going to Oxon he entred himself into Magd. Hall, where continuing till the ejection of loyal Fellows of Linc. Coll, was made by the Visitors in 1648, he was by them put in Fellow there, where he behaved himself very facti∣ous and turbulent. On the first of May 1660 he resign'd his Fellow∣ship, otherwise had he tarried there a little longer, he had been ex∣pell'd. About which time, by money and friends, he obtained one or two rich Parsonages, and in 1662 became Canon residentiary of Chichester, and afterwards Doctor of Div. at Cambridge. This is the person who shewed himself a zealous brother for the inte∣rest and Party of James Duke of Monmouth, for whose title to the Crown speaking certain matters at Ch••chester, he was on the 10 of Febr. 1685 tryed upon an information of high misdemeanour; of which being found guilty, he was thereupon committed to the Kings Bench Prison.

• July 8. Dan. Capell of Magd. Coll.
• July 8. Tho. Cole of Ch. Ch.

The first of these two is mention'd among the Writers; the o∣ther, who was son of Will. Cole of London Gent, was educated in Westm. School, and thence elected Student of Ch. Ch. In 1656 he became Principal of S. Maries Hall, but being ejected thence by the Kings Commissioners in 1660▪ he lived afterwards a Nonconformist, kept a Boarding-school, and taught Youths of the Presb. and Indep. perswasion at, or near, N••ttlebed in Oxfordshire. Under his name hath been published (1) How we may steer an even course between presumption and despair, on Luke 3.5.6. printed in the Supplement to the Morning exercise at Cripplegate. Lond. 1674. and 76. qu. (2) A discourse of regeneration, faith and repentance, preached at the Merchants Lecture in Broadureer in London. Lond. 1689. oct, and other things, as 'tis probable, but such I have not yet seen.

Jul. 10. Josich Banger of Magd. Coll.—This person, who was son of Bern. Banger M A. and Rector of Yerlington in Somersetshire, became Fellow of Trin. Coll. this year. He hath written An alarm to secure sinners: or, God discovered to be as well a burning as shining light. Lond. 1676. oct. This is the same, I suppose, which was several years before printed under the title of A serious Item to secure sinners. What other things he hath written I know not, or whether he was a Nonconformist after his Majesties restauration.

As for Arris he was licensed to proceed by vertue of an order from the Committee for the regulating of the University, which partly runs thus,—He is thirteen years standing in the Ʋniversity, and is well affected to the Parliament and present Government, &c. In 1661 he was chosen Burgess for S. Alban in Hertfordsh. to serve in that Parliament that began at Westm. 8 May the same year.

Incorporations.

Aug. 20. Sam. Thomas lately Bach. of Arts of 4 years standing of Peter House in Cambridge, was then incorporated Bach. of Arts.—After his Majesties restauration, at which time he was turn'd out of his Fellowship of S. Johns Coll, he became one of his Chaplains or Petty-Canons, and at length Chauntor of Ch. ch. He hath written and published several things, and therefore ought hereaf∣ter to be remembred among the Oxford Writers.

Nov. 6. John Twisden a Kentish man born, who had taken the degree of Doctor of Phys. in the University of Angers, an. 1646, was incorporated in the same degree.—He was afterwards a Phy∣sitian of note in the great City, a Mathematician, one of the Coll. of Physitians, and author of several books, among which are these (1) Medicina veterum vindicata: or, an answer to a book intit. Medela medicinae, &c. Lond. 1666. oct. (2) Answer to Medicina instau∣rata, &c. Lond. 1666. oct, written by Dr. Edw Bolnest Physitian in ord. to his Maj.

Apr. 9. Will. Stephens a Parliament man and one of the Judges of the Admiralty, was openly declared in Convocation Doctor of the Civil Law by a Diploma then dated, by vertue of a Statute tit. x. §. 4. quo Magnates vel Nobiles honoris causa gradus academicos in∣tra Ʋniversitatem dignentur; as it is said in the publ. Reg. of this time. He died in 1658, being then an Inhabitant of the Isle of Wigh••.

Jul. 3. Edw. Wise of Exeter Coll. Esq, who had spent some terms in Cambr. was actually created Bach. of Arts.—On the 24 of July 1652, it was granted by the Delegates of the Univ. that he the said Edw. Wise (ex nobili stemmate ortus as they say) might be admitted to the degree of Mast. of Arts in Congregation; but whether he was really admitted it appears nor.

Sept. 9. Sir Thom. Honywood of Essex Kt▪ was actually created Doct. of the Civ. Law.—This person, who was brother in law to Sir Hen. Vane, (the same who was beheaded in 1662) was a Com∣mittee man in the time of the Long Parliament that began 3 Nov. 1640, was also a military man, and led, as a Colonel, a Regi∣ment

of Essex men to fight at Worcester against K. Ch. 2. an. 1651. To which place coming in good time, he endeavoured to shew his valour against Kingship and the House of Stuarts. In 1654 he was one of the Knights to serve for Essex in that Parliament began at Westm. 3 of Sept. the same year, and a Knight again for the same County in that Parl. which began at the same place 17 Sept. 1656; both which Parliaments were called by Oliver L. Protector: And being a man soft in spirit, and too easie, like a nose of wax, to be turn'd on that side where the greatest strength then was, was ta∣ken into Olivers Court, and by him made one of the Other House, that is House of Lords. One Sir Rob. Honywood his near Relation, was made one of the Council of State about the 16 of May 1659, but had no degree confer'd on him in this University as I can yet find.

Thom. Cooke a Colonel of the County of Essex, was created Doct. of the Civ. Law the same day.—I take this person to be the same with Thom. Coke of Pebmersh in Essex who was chosen one of the Knights for the said County to serve in that Parliament that began at Westm. 1654.

• Sept. 9. Joachim Matthews created Doct. of the Civ. Law.
• Sept. 9. Will. Herlakinden created Doct. of the Civ. Law.
• Sept. 9. Christop. Earle created Doct. of the Civ. Law.

The first of these three was afterwards a Commissioner of the County of Essex for the ejecting of such whom the godly party then (1654) called scandalous and ignorant Minsters and Schoolmasters, and the same year he was chosen Burgess for Maldon (of which he was Recorder) in the same County to serve in Parliament, being then a Justice of Peace and an Inhabitant of Havering. In 1656 and 59 he was elected Burgess again for the same place, to serve in the two Parliaments called in those years by Oli∣ver and Richard, being then a leading and forward man for the Cause then drove on and professed. He was father to Philip Mat∣thews of Great Gobions within the Liberty of Havering in Essex, created Baronet 13 of June 1662. The second, Herlakinden, was a Commissioner or Committee man for the said County of Essex, a godly brother, and a leading man in the times of Usurpation as Earle was.

• Sept. 9. Joh. Langley of Essex.
• Sept. 9. Will. German.
• Sept. 9. John Guy.

These three, who are said to be well deserving of the Com∣monwealth, were then actually created Masters of Arts.

Feb. 27. Joh. Tickell of Ch. Ch. lately of New Inn, was actually created M. of A. by vertue of a dispensation from Oliver Cromwell Chanc. of this Univ.

George Croke of Alls. Coll. was actually created Master the same day, by vertue of the said dispensation.—This person, who was made Fellow of the said Coll. by the Visitors, was son of Dr. Hen. Croke sometimes of Brasn. Coll, and heir to his Uncle Sir George Croke of Waterstoke near Oxon. After the return of his Maj. he was Knighted, and in 1664 became High Sheriff of Oxfordshire. At length, having run out of his estate, he died at London in 1680; whereupon his body being conveyed to Waterstock, was buried in the Chancel of the Church there near to that of Sir George, (and that of his wife who died 4 years or more before him) on the 21 of the said month.

Mar. 1. Lewis Atterbury of Ch. Ch. was admitted or created in Convoc, by vertue of a dispensation from the Chanc.; with liber∣ty then allow'd to him to suffragate in Convoc. and Congreg.

• An. Dom. 1652.
• An. 4 Car. 2.

Chanc. the same, viz. O. Cromwell, who being now in Scotland, and sensible how troublesome it was to the Academians to apply themselves to him about their concerns, he did, by an instrument dated 16 Octob. this year, commissionate, appoint and delegate Joh. Owen Dean of Ch. Ch. Dr. Joh. Wilkins Warden of Wadham Coll, Dr. Jonath. Goddard Warden of Mert. Coll, Thom. Goodwin President of Magd. Coll, and Pet. French Preb. of Ch. Ch, or any three or more of them to take into consideration all, and every matter of dispensation, grant or confirmation whatsoever, which required his assent as Chanc. of this University. At the same time he delegated his power of hearing and determining College diffe∣rences to the Vicechancellour and Heads of Houses for six months.

Vicechanc. Joh. Owen M. of A. Dean of Ch. Ch, admitted 26 Sept. having been nominated by the Chancellours Letters, dated 9. of the same month.

In June 1688 he was, among other Counsellors, (Dissenters from the Church of England) called by the Writ of K. Jam. 2. to take upon them the state and degree of Serjeant at Law, and he being sworn at the Chancery Bar on the 18 of the same month, was in the begin∣ning of July following made one of the Barons of the Exchecquer, and by the name of Baron Rotheram he went the Oxford Circuit in the latter end of the said month.

Incorporations.

• April 8. George Mede Doct. of Phys. of Padua.

These two had been Travellers together and took their degree of Doct. of Phys. in the said Univ. of Padua, in Aug. 1651. See in the year 1659.

Aug. 9. Thom. Horton D. of D. of Cambr. and Master of Queens Coll. therein, was then incorporated in Convocation—This per∣son, who was Son of Laur. Horton Citizen of London, was born in that City, bred in Emanuel Coll, of which he became Fellow, and a noted Tutor to young Presbyterian Scholars, among, whom John Wallis was one. In 1637 he was constituted one of the publick Preachers of the Univ. of Cambr. and in 1638, or thereabouts, he became Minister of S. Mary Cole church in the City of his nativity. Afterwards he was preacher to the Society of Greys Inn, Reader of Div. in Gresham Coll, a holder forth sometimes before the Long Parliament, Vicar of Great S. Helens in London, and one of the Triers or Commissioners appointed for the approbation of publick Preachers an. 1653. He was esteemed by those of the Presbyterian perswasion a sound and solid Divine, a good Textuary and well skill'd in the original Languages. Under his name hath been pub∣lished (1) Forty six Sermons upon the whole eighth Chapter of the Epist. of the Apost. Paul to the Romans. Lond. 1674. fol.

Coll. successively, and the Kings Professor of Div. in the University of Cambridge: Published since his death ac∣cording to his own Manuscript. This Dr. Horton died in 1673, and was, I presume, buried in the Church of S. Helen before mention'd, leaving then behind him a relict called Dorothy, who administred 28. Aug. the same year.

Creations.

June 17. Jonathan Maud a Student in Phys. 17 years, was then actually created Doctor of that fac. by vertue first of an order from the Committee, and secondly by vertue of the Letters of the Chan∣cellour of the Univ. dated 29. May 1650 (rather 51) which say that his conversation is pious and sober, and that he hath been a constant friend to the Parliament, &c.

July 9. Thomas Danson of Magd. Coll. was created M. of A. in Convocation, by vertue of a dispensation from the Delegates.

24. Samson Eyton of Ʋniv. Coll. (lately made Fellow thereof by the Visitors) who had spent 8 years in study in Harwarden Coll. at Cambridge in New England, was then actually created M. of A. by vertue of the Delegates order.

Dec. 22. Joh. Boncle commonly called Bunkley, was actually cre∣ated M. of A. by vertue of the Chancellours Letters (O. Cromwell) which speak very honorable in his behalf, as that his eminent learn∣ing and worth is such that I acco••••t that I may very freely commend him unto you—He is known to learned men—He is like to adorn that degree (viz. of Mast. of Arts)—a considerable ornament to the Ʋniversity, &c. The same day he was elected superior Beadle of Divinity (in the place of John Blagrave deceased) by vertue of the Letters from the said Chanc. also. But Boncle being soon after made Master of Charter house School near London in the place of Sampson Wilson removed to a Living in Peterborough, he resign'd his Beadleship in the year following. Afterwards he became Master of Eaton School and Fellow of the Coll. there: whence being re∣mov'd after the restauration of K. Ch. 2, he became Master of the School in Mercers Chappel in London, where he was living in 1673.

In the latter end of July this year, Ralph Austen Deputy Regi∣strary to the Visitor for Will. Woodhouse, and Registrary afterwards in his own right was entred a Student into the publick Library, to the end that he might find materials for the composition of a book which he was then meditating. The book afterwards he finish'd and entit. it A treatise of Fruit-trees, shewing the manner of graft∣ing, planting, pruning and ordering of them in all respects, according to new and easie rules of experience, &c. Oxon. 1657. sec. edit. qu. Ded. to Sam. Hartlib Esq. This book was much commended for a good and rational piece by the honorable Mr. Rob. Boyle, who, if •• mistake not, did make use of it in a book or books which he after∣wards published: And it is very probable that the said book might have been printed more than twice had not he, the author, added to, and bound with, it another treatise as big as the former entit. The spiritual use of an Orchard, or garden of Fruit-Trees, &c. Which being all divinity and nothing therein of the practick part of Gar∣dening, many therefore did refuse to buy it. He hath also written A dialogue, or familiar discourse and conference between the Husband∣man and Fruit-trees, in his nurseries, orchards and gardens: wherein are discovered many useful and profitable observations and experiments in nature in the ordering of Fruit-trees for temporal profit, &c. prin∣ted 1676. 76. in oct. Much of the former book, is, I presume, in∣volv'd in this. This Mr. Austen who was either a Presbyterian or an Independent I know not whether, was a very useful man in his generation, and spent all his time in Oxon to his death, in planting gardens there and near it, in grafting, in oculating, raising Fruit-trees, &c. He was born in Staffordshire, and dying in his house in the Parish of S. Peter in the Baylie in Oxon, was buried in the Church belonging thereunto, in the Isle joyning on the S. side of the Chancel, on the 26. of Octob. 1676, after he had been a pra∣ctiser in gardening 50 years.

30. Charles Perot or Perrot of Oriel Coll.—This person was born at Radley near Abend••n in Berks, had spent some time in travel to learn the modern languages, returned a well bred Gentleman, wrot two or more political pamphlets in defence of the prerogative, without his name set to them, and therefore he would not publick∣ly acknowledge, or communicate the titles of, them to me. See in March. Nedham among the Writers, an. 1678. p. 469. This Mr. Perot, who was Fellow of Oriel Coll, died on the 23 of April 1677, aged 45 or thereabouts; his Father being then living: Whereupon his body was buried near to that of his Grandfather Rob. Perot Gentleman, and by that of his Mother Elizabeth, daugh. of Sir Will. Stonehouse of Radley before mention'd, in the Chancel of the Church of North-Lee near to Witney in Oxfordshire.

Oct. 11. Thom. Ashton of Brasn. Coll.—This forward and con∣ceited Scholar, who was Son of a Father of both his names, was born at Tuerdley in Lancashire, admitted Servitour of the said Coll. 13. June 1647. aged 16 years, took a degree in Arts and then was made Fellow thereof. After he had proceeded in that faculty he became straightway a malepert preacher in and near Oxon: And at length having a turn to preach at S. Maries on Tuesday, a Le∣cture day, 25 July 1654, he did then deliver a very offensive Ser∣mon preached on Job 37.22. With God is terrible Majesty. In which Sermon speaking of the attributes of God, particularly of that in the text, took a hint from the word terribilis, (which might, as he said, signifie with some terrae bilis) to say that God was a Melan∣choly God, &c. and in the conclusion to maintain that those that had no teeth to gnash, should gnash their gums, &c. For which Sermon he being call'd into question, was in a fair way of expulsion, but by the intercession of friends, the business was compromised; yet two years after he was forced to leave his Fellowship upon some quarrel between him and Dr. Greenwood Principal of his House. Af∣terwards he was intrusted with a Commission from Oliver to be Chaplain to the English Forces in Jersey, an. 1656, where conti∣nuing for some time in preaching, suffered soon after in his rela∣tions, reputation, salary, &c. by a new Governour placed there, who forced him, as it seems, thence. He hath published (1) Blood-thirsty Cyrus unsatisfied with blood. Or the boundless cruelty of an Anabaptists tyranny, manifested in a letter of Colonel John Mason Governour of Jersey, 3. Nov. 1659, wherein he exhibits seven false ridiculous and scandalous articles against Quarter-Master Will. Swan, &c. Lond. 1659. in one sh. in qu. (2) Satan in Samuels mantle: or the cruelty of Germany acted in Jersey, containing the arbitrary, bloody and tyrannical proceedings of John Mason, of a baptized Church, commissionated to be a Colonel, and sent over into the Island of Jersey Governour, in July 1656, against several Officers and Soldiers in that small place, &c. Lond. 1659 in 4. sh. in qu. After his Majesties re∣stauration the author was beneficed near Hertford in Hertfordshire, where he soon after finished his restless course.

Dec. 11. Christoph. Wren of Wadh. Coll.

Feb. 21. Edward Veel or Veal of Ch. Ch. was admitted M. of A. in Convocation and at the same time was admitted ad regendum—This person, who had been elected Fellow of Trin. Coll. near Dub∣lin between the time that he took the degree of Bach. and Master in this University, I take to be the same Ed. Veel, who is now, or at least was lately, a Nonconformist Minister in or near London, and author of (1) What spiritual knowledge they ought to seek for, that desire to be saved. Printed in the Supplement to the morning exer∣cise at Cripplegate. Lond. 1674. 76. qu. (2) Sermon on Psalm. 62.12.—'Tis the eleventh Serm. in The morning exercise against Po∣pery, &c. preached in Southwerk. Lond. 1675. qu, and perhaps of other things, but such I have not yet seen. See in Joh. Davenport and Steph. Charnock among the Writers p. 335 and 491.

Incorporations.

• May 14. Tho. Wolfius Doct. of Phys. of Padua.
• May 14. John Clerk Doct. of Phys. of Padua.
• 21. Thomas Pepys Doct. of Phys. of Padua.

The first was afterwards Fellow of the Coll. of Physitians, and the second is the same, I suppose, with him who published Disputatie me∣dica de Ilio vero. I find one John Clark to have been Doct. of the Laws of Doctors Commons in Lond. who died in the latter end of the year 1672, but whether ever of Oxon, I cannot yet tell. See another Joh. Clerk among the created Doctors of Phys. 1660. As for the third I know nothing of him.

June 13. Walt. Mills Doct. of Phys. of Leyden—He was after∣wards one of the Coll. of Physitians.

15. Will. Whitaker Doct. of the same faculty of Franaker in W••st Freisen—He was afterwards, as I conceive, one of the Coll. of Physitians, and lived several years in good repute for his learning in the Parish of S. Andrew in Ho••bourne near London, but died in the Pa∣rish of S. Clement Danes within the liberty of Westminster in the month of Dec. or beginning of January 1670. He hath written The tree of life, or blood of the grape, &c. pr. in oct. and perhaps other things. Qu. I have made mention of a learned Divine of both his names in the Fasti of the first Vol. p. 744, and another (a Non∣conformist) in this, in Tho. Jacombe under the year 1687. p. 607.

July 12. John Sherman M. of A. of Cambridge—He was after∣wards Archd. of Salisbury. See in Josh. Childrey among the Wri∣ters p. 339.

Rob. Dixon M. A. of the same University, was incorporated on the said day—I take this person to be the same Rob. Dixon who was afterwards Doct. of Div. and Prebendary of Rochester, author of (1) The degrees of Consanguinity, and affinity described and deli∣neated. Lond. 1675. oct. (2) The nature of the two Testaments, or the disposition of the Will and Estate of God to mankind▪ &c. In two volumes: The first of the Will of God, the second of the Estate of God. Lond. 1676. 77. fol: and of other things, as 'tis probable.

Isaac Barrow M. A. of Trin. Coll. in the same University was incorporated on the said day.—In the next year he took a long journey into several forreign Countries, and returned a compleat Master of divers Languages. In 1660 he was chose Greek Profes∣sor of Cambridge, and two years after, on the death of Laur. Rooke, Geometry Lecturer in Gresham Coll. In 1672 he was elected Ma∣ster of Trin. Coll, being then in great esteem for his learning and accomplishments: And dying on the fourth day of May 1677 aged 47 years, was buried in the South cross Isle of S. Peters, commonly called the Abbey, Church in the City of Westminster. His works were afterwards collected and published by Dr. Joh. Tillotson, an. 1683; before the first of which is a full account of the life of the said Is. Barrow, to which I refer the Reader.

These three last, Sherman, Dixon and Barrow were of the num∣ber of 25 Cambridge Masters of Arts that were incorporated just af∣ter the Act this year.

July 12. Edw. Spark Bach. of Div. of Cambr.—He was after∣wards Doct. of that faculty, Chaplain to his Maj. Ch. 2, and well beneficed if not dignified. He hath written and published (1) The Christians map of the world: drawn at the solemn funerals of Henry Chitting Esq. Chester-Herald at Armes, inter'd 11. January 1637. Lond. 1637. oct. 'Tis a Sermon preached at the said Chittings fu∣neral 11. Jan. 1636 on Heb. 13. ver. 14. (2) Scintilla Altaris: or a pious reflection on primitive devotion as to the Feasts and Fasts of the Christian Church orthodoxly revived. Lond. 165. . . oct. &c. In other editions this title is contracted. (3) Devotions on the 5. of Nov. 30. of Jan. and 29. of May &c. Lond. 1666. oct. These were afterwards added to some of the editions of Scintilla Altaris, and consist of prose, poems, sculptures, &c. He hath other things ex∣tant, as 'tis probable, but such I have not yet seen. This person who was living at Totenham Highcross near Lond. in 1675 (where I presume he was beneficed) had a Son of both his names, Bache∣laur of the Laws and Fellow of S. Johns Coll. in Oxon; who dying on the last day of Nov. 1675, was buried in the Chappel there and soon after had a comely mon. set over his grave by his Father.

Henry Maisterson D. D. and Fellow of S. Johns Coll. in Cambr. was then (Jul. 12.) incorporated—He was afterwards beneficed at Namptwich in Cheshire, and died in 1671.

These two last, were also incorporated just after the celebration of the Act.

Feb. 9. Zurishaddeus Langius Doct. of Phys. of Padua—The said degree he took at Pad. in the beginning of Oct. 1649, and was afterwards Fellow of the Coll. of Physitians at London.

Creations.

Mar. 26. Edm. Lewis a Knights Son of Magd. Coll. was actually created Bach. of Arts, as also was Rob. Simons a Gent. Commoner of Trin. Coll.

• Oct. 19. Thure Thureson Sweeds.
• Oct. 19. Paul Kiefengeller Sweeds.
• Oct. 19. Joh. Widechennius Sweeds.

These three, who were actually created Masters of Arts, were Retainers to the Embassador of Christina Queen of Sweedland to the Commonwealth of England.

Dec. 23. John Owen M. A, Dean of Ch. Ch, and Vicechancellour of the University, was then (he being at Lond.) diplomated Doct.

of Div.—He is said in his Diploma to be in Palaestra Theologica exercitatissimus, in concionando assiduus & potens, in disputando stre∣nuus & acutus, &c. His Dipl. was dated 22. and read and sealed in Convocation 23 of Dec. this year.

Thom. Goodwin President of Magd. Coll, and Bach. of Div. of several years standing, was then also, Dec. 23, diplomated D. of D.—This person, who is said in the common Register to be in scriptis in re Theologicâ quamplurimis orbi notus, was born in the County of Norfolk, educated for a time in Christs Coll. in Cambridge, then in Catherine Hall, of which he was Fellow. Afterwards disliking con∣formity, he removed (as others did) beyond the Seas into Holland to avoid the censures of Episcopal consistories; where remaining till the beginning of the Long Parliament, he returned, and became one of the Ass. of Divines at Westminster: but disliking their pro∣ceedings, he left them and about the same time had preferment confer'd upon him. At length upon the increasing of the Indepen∣dents, he, being one himself, struck in with Ol. Cromwell, became his Favourite, and by his power President of Magd. Coll. about the beginning of January 1649, purposely to promote the Independent cause in this University, which he afterwards did to the purpose by his constant preaching at S. Maries, by his sometimes preaching in his Coll. Chappel, and by his setting up and continuing a weekly meeting in his Lodgings in the said Coll, where all those that were to enter into that fraternity were openly to make a confession of their sins, &c. In 1653 he was one of the prime men appointed by or∣dinance to be a Trier or Commissioner for the approbation of pub∣lick preachers, and in the year following he was appointed one of the Assistants to the Commissioners of Oxfordshire for the ejection of such, whom the Saints of that time called scandalous, ignorant and insufficient Ministers and Schoolmasters, that is Loyal and Or∣thodox Divines; whom, especially such that had rich benefices or well endowed Schools, be sure they ejected, and either took their benefices themselves or confer'd them on their confiding brethren or those of their Church. In the beginning of the year 1660 he was removed from his Presidentship to make room for Dr. Joh. Oli∣ver; whereupon retiring to London, lived mostly in the Parish of Great S. Barthelmew, where dying 23 Feb. 1679 aged 80 years, was buried in a little vault towards the East end of the new burial place for Dissenters, joyning on the North side of the New Artillery-yard or Garden by Bunhill fields near London. Over the Vault was soon after erected an Altar-monument, with a large inscription thereon engraven, made by the common Epitaph-maker for Dissenters cal∣led Tho. Gilbert Bach. of Div. now a Nonconformist living in Oxon. After his death, his works consisting of Expositions, Sermons, The∣ological discourses, &c. were gathered together and published in two volumes in fol. (with his picture before them much resembling the author while living) by Thankful Owen and Jam. Baron—Lond. 1681: Before which is a canting preface, written by the said two persons, wherein many things are said of the author and his learn∣ing. See in Phil. Nye among the Writers, under the Year 1672. p. 370.

As for Nath. Bond, who was of the same family with Dennis Bond mention'd in the first vol. p. 323, he was, as I conceive, Recorder afterward of Weymouth, being then a man of those times. In the latter end of Apr. 1689 he being by writ called to the degree of Serjeant at Law by K. Will. 3, was sworn on the 2 of May at the Bar of the Common-pleas in Westm. Hall, with several others that had been with him called to that degree. Afterwards he was Knighted, made one of the Kings Serjeants, &c. The last of the said three (Joseph Keble) is living in Greys Inn and hath published several things, and therefore he ought hereafter to be mentioned among the Writers.

Coll, and then Fellow, took the degree of Bach. of Arts in 1652, at which time he had the letters of the Chancellour (O. Cromwell) for the dispensation of the want of two or three terms; in which letters he is stiled eminently godly and of able parts. Afterwards he was senior Collector of the Lent in 1652, and when Master of Arts a godly preacher in these parts. After his Majesties restauration he conformed and wrot (1) Treatise of Justification, &c. Lond. 1662. oct. (2) S. Pauls travelling pangs, &c. Pr. 1662. oct. and perhaps other things.

June 21. Ralph Bathurst of Trin. Coll.—He accumulated, having before been employed in the service of the State as Physitian to the sick and wounded of the Navy: which work he managed with much dili∣gence and success to the full satisfaction both of the Generals at Sea, and also of the Commissioners of the Admiralty, &c. After his Maje∣sties restauration he reassumed his former fac. of Divinity, became one of the Royal Society, President of his Coll, one of his Majesties Chaplains, and on the 28. June 1670 was installed Dean of Wells upon the promotion of Dr. Rob. Creighton to the See of B. and Wells. In Apr. 1691 he was nominated by their Majesties Bishop of Bri∣stow, with liberty to keep his Deanery in Commendam, but he re∣fused it, because he was minded to carry on his benefaction to his Coll, being then about to reedifie the Chappel thereof, and to do good thereunto and his Church of Wells. He is accounted a most

celebrated Latine Poet, as it appears by those many Copies of ver∣ses of his that are extant, some of which are made publick in a book lately printed at the Theater in Oxon, entit. Musarum Anglicanarum Analecta, &c. printed in oct.

Doct. of Div.

May 29. Joh. Conant M. A. Rector of Exeter Coll. was then ad∣mitted in Convocation—In 1662 he left his Rectory because he refused to subscribe to the Act of conformity, but afterwards, upon better thoughts, conforming, he became a Minister in Northampton, where he now continues an aged man. In 1676 June 8. he was in∣stalled Archdeacon of Norwich, (in the place of Mr. John Reynolds deceased) which Dignity was confer'd upon him by Dr. Edw. Rey∣nolds B. thereof, whose Daughter he formerly had married; and on the 3. of Dec. 1681 he was installed Preb. of Worcester in the place of Nath. Tomkins deceased. He is a learned, pious and meek Di∣vine, but hath published nothing.

Seth Ward of Wadham Coll, Savilian professor of Astron. was ad∣mitted in the same Convocation.

May 31. Joh. Wallis of Exeter Coll. Sav. Prof. of Geom.—About this time arose a controversie between Dr. Wallis, and Dr. Ward before mention'd concerning seniority in Doctorship. Wallis he aver'd that he was incorporated Mast. of Arts of this University be∣fore Ward and therefore 'twas his, but it appearing that Ward stood first in the Proctors book at Cambridge (for they proceeded in Arts both in one year) the Vicechancellour Dr. Owen decided the mat∣ter on Wards behalf: Whereupon Wallis went out Grand compoun∣der, and so got seniority not only of Ward but of the rest that pro∣ceeded in Div. this year. Dr. Wallis was afterwards, against oath and statute elected Custos Archivorum in the place of Dr. Langbaine, at which time stood for that office one every way capable of it, viz. Dr. Rich. Zouche; which being a most unjust act, as being carried on and done by the godly brethren, therefore did Hen. Stubbe write and publish The Savilian Professors case stated, &c. as I have told you in my discourse of him, p. 415.

He died at that place 22 Jan. 1679, leaving behind him the character of a good man among the precise people, but otherwise among the neighbouring Royalists, who esteem'd him an instiller of evil Principles into youth.

Benedict Queckfeldt brother to Gustavus, commended also by the said Sir Geo. Fleetwood, was at the same time created Doct. of the Civ. Law.

These two persons, with Joh. Stuart another Sweed, were then Sojourners and Students in this University, as they had been about a year before, purposely to have the benefit of the publ. Library. The said two brothers, are now, or at least were lately, men of great name and place in Sweedland. The last, or the younger, who in his printed book, or books, writes himself Benedictus Gustavus Queckfeldt Sudremanius Suecus, that is, I suppose, of the Province of Sodermanland in Sweedland, did some exercise for the said degree which he printed with this title. Disputatio juridica inauguralis, de obligationibus ex contractibus qui re, verbis, literis & consensu perfici∣untur, in illustriss. Anglorum Ʋniversitate quae Oxoniae est, &c. pro gradu Doctoratus ejusque privilegiis in Jure &c. ... Dec. 1655 modestè exhibita, Oxon. 1656. in 3 sh. in qu.

This year Jacobus Oúzelius, who intitles himself Jurisconsultus Dantiscanus, was a Sojourner in Oxon, purposely to obtain the be∣nefit of the public Library. He hath written De numismatibus, and is the same, as I conceive, who hath published Animadversiones in Minutii Felicis Octavium.

Incorporations.

Mar. 27. James Windet Doct. of Phys. of Leyden.—The said degree was confer'd on him at Leyd. in July 1655. This person who was afterwards of the Coll. of Physitians at Lond. was a good Latin Poet, a most excellent Linguist, a great Rabbi, a curious Critick, and rather shap'd for Divinity than the faculty he profess'd. He hath extant under his name (1) Ad Majestatem Caroli II. sylvae duae. Printed in qu. (2) De vitâ functorum statu: ex Hebraeorum, at{que} Graecorum comparatis sententiis concinnatus: cum corollario de Tartaro Apost. Petri in quem praevaricatores Angelos dejectos memorat. Lond. 1663. qu. and other things which I have not yet seen, among which is the Epist. ded. to the most ingenious Joh. Hall of Durham set before an edition of Stierius's Philosophy, printed and published by Rog. Daniel Printer to the University of Cambridge; who ha∣ving a great respect for the said Mr. Hall, got Dr. Windet to write it; which being done, Mr. Daniel set his own name to it, purposely to do honour to that young Gent. of great and wonderful hopes. This Dr. Windet left behind him at his death (which, those of his profession say, hapned about 1680) a quarto Manuscript containing many of his Lat. Poems, which at this day go from hand to hand, having been expos'd to sale in one or more Auctions.

Apr. 25. Huntingdon Plumtre Doct. of Phys. of Cambr.—This person was a Nottinghamshire man born, was descended from those of his name of Plumtre in that County, and when a young Master of Arts of Cambr. wrot Epigrammatum opusculum, duobus libellis di∣stinctum. Lond. 1629. oct. and to it added Homeri Batrachomyoma∣chia latino carmine reddita, variisque in locis aucta & illustrata.

Jun. 3. Thom. Browne Doct. of Phys. of Padua.—This person, who had that degree confer'd on him at Pad. in Sept. 1654, is dif∣ferent from the famous Sir Thom. Browne of Norwich, whom I have mention'd among the Writers, under the year 1682. p. 535.

Jul. 5. Rich. Steel M. of A. of S. Johns Coll. in Cambr.—This per∣son, who was living a Nonconformist Minister in 1684, hath writ∣ten several things, among which are (1) The Husbandmans calling, shewing the excellencies, temptations, graces, duties of the christian husbandman, in eleven Sermons. Lond. 1668. 72. &c. oct. (2) A plain discourse of uprighteousness, shewing the properties and privileges of an upright man. Lond. 1671. &c. oct. (3) An antidote against distractions; or, an endeavour to serve the Church in the daily case of wandrings in the worship of God. Printed thrice at least in oct. The third edit. was printed in 1673. (4) The Tradesmans calling. Being a discourse concerning the nature, necessity, choice, &c. of a calling in general: and directions for the right managing of the Tradesmans call∣ing in particular. Lond. 1684. oct.

Jul. 5. Edw. Fowler now or lately Chapl. of C. C. Coll. in Oxon, was incorporated Mast. of Arts as a member of Trin. Coll, in Cam∣bridge.—He is the same who took the degree of B. of A. an. 1653, and the same who was afterwards B. of Gloc. He retired, as it

seems, for a time to Cambr. and taking the degree of Master there, return'd to his Coll. again in Oxon.

Oct. 10. Pet. du Moulin D. of D. of Leyden in Holland, (afterwards confirmed or incorporated at Cambr,) was then incorporated in this Univ. in the same degree.—He was the son of Pet. du Moulin the famous Protestant Writer of France, came into England in his elder years; but whether he had preferment before the grand or Pres∣byterian Rebellion broke forth I know not. After Ireland was re∣duced by the Parl. Forces, he lived there, sometimes at Lismore, Yoghal, and Dublin, under the Patronage of Richard Earl of Cork. Afterwards going into England, he setled in Oxon (where he was Tutor or Governour to Charles Visc. Dungarvan and Mr. Rich. Boyle his brother, Canon Commoners of Ch. Ch.) lived there two or more years and preached constantly for a considerable time in the Church of S. Peter in the East. After the restauration of K. Ch. 2. he became Chaplain in ordinary to him and Prebendary of Can∣terb, where he spent the remaining part of his days. He hath written, (1) Regii sanguinis clamor ad coelum. Hag. Com. 1652. qu. See more in the Fasti of the first vol. p. 883. (2) Treatise of peace and contentment of mind. Lond. 1657. &c. in a thick oct. The third edition, of this book which came out in 1678 was revised and much amended by the author. (3) A week of Soliloquies and Pray∣ers, with a preparation to the holy Communion. Printed there the same year, and again in 1678. 79. in tw. In which edition are added other Devotions, in two parts. (4) Vindication of the sincerity of the Protestant Religion in point of obedience to Soveraignes, &c. in an∣swer to a Jesuitical libel intit. Philanax Anglicus. Lond. 1667. qu. and 1679, which is the 4 edit. (5) Poematum Libelli tres. Cambr. 1670. oct. In which book, p. 128, is an Epicedium on Dr. Will. Juxon Archb. of Cant. In another edition of these Poems in 1671 was added Mantissa aliquot poematum. (6) 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Incrementum Psal. XCII. ver. 14. Lond. 1671. oct. (7) Serm. at the Funeral of Dr. Thomas Turner Dean of Canterb. 17 Oct. 1672, on Philip. 1.21. Lond. 1672. qu. (8) Addition to a book written by his father intit. The papal Tyranny as it was exercised over England for some ages. Lond. 1674. qu. (9) Papal Tyranny; two Sermons on Rev. 18. 4.5. Ibid. 1674. qu. (10) Reply to a person of honour his pretended answer to the Vindication of the Protestant Religion in point of obe∣dience to Soveraignes, and to the book of Papal Tyranny. Lond. 1675. qu. (11) Ten Sermons preached on several occasions. Lond. 1684. oct. Among which are those, I presume, before mention'd. He hath written, as I conceive, other things, but such I have not yet seen, and also translated from French into English (1) Faith in the just, victorious over the World; Serm. preached at the Savoy in the Fr. Church 10 Oct. 1669. Lond. 1670. qu. Which Serm. was preached by Dr. Franc. Durant de Brevall (heretofore Preach∣er to Hen. Maria the Qu. Mother) installed Preb. of Westminster in May 1671. (2) The ruin of Papacy: or, a clear display of the Simony of the Romish Clergy. With a circulatory Letter to the Fathers of those Virgins that desert their families to turn Nuns. Lond. 1679. oct. &c. This Dr. du Moulin, who was an honest and zealous Calvinist, died in the 84 year of his age, and was buried in the Cath. Ch. at Canterbury 10 Oct. 1684. The last words which he utter'd on his death-bed were, Since Calvinism is cried down, actum est de religione Christi apud Anglos, &c. In his Prebendship suc∣ceeded the learned and pious Will. Beveridge a Native of Leicester∣shire, D. of D. of Cambr. and Archdeacon of Colchester, installed therein 5 Nov. 1684.

Feb. 16. Joseph Teate Mast. of Arts of Dublin.—He was origi∣nally Bach. of Arts of S. Johns Coll. in this Univ. Whence going into Ireland, he took the degree of Master at Dublin 17 Aug. 1655. I find A Sermon preached at the Cathedral Church of S. Canier Kil∣kenny, 27 Feb. 1669. Lond. 1670. qu, preached by Joseph Teat Dean thereof; which Joseph is to be understood to be the same with the former.

Feb. 19. Joh. Packer Doct. of Phys. of Padua.—He was after∣wards one of the Coll. of Phys. at Lond.

Mar. 10. The most famous and learned Theophilus de Garencieres of Paris, made Doct. of Phys. at Caen in Normandy 20 years be∣fore this time, was then (Mar. 10.) incorporated here in the same degree, not only upon sight of his testimonial Letters (which abun∣dantly speak of his worth) subscrib'd by the K. of France his Em∣bassador in Engl. (to whom he was domestick Physitian) but upon sufficient knowledge had of his great merits, his late relinquishing the Rom. Church, and zeal for that of the Reformed.—This per∣son who was one of the Coll. of Phys. at Lond. hath written (1) An∣gliae flagellum, seu Tabes Anglica. Lond. 1647. in twenty fours. (2) The admirable vertues and wonderful effects of the true and genuine tincture of Coral in Physick, grounded by reason, established by expe∣rience, and confirmed by authentical authors in all ages. Lond. 1676. in oct, and other things as I conceive, but such I have not yet seen. He also translated into English The true prophecies or prognostications of Mich▪ Nostradamus, Physitian to K. Hen. 2, Francis 2, and Charles 9. Kings of France, &c. Lond. 1672. fol. He died poor and in an ob∣scure condition in Covent Garden within the Liberty of Westm, oc∣casion'd by the unworthy dealings of a certain Knight, which in a manner broke his heart; but the particular time when I cannot tell.

19. Walt. James Doct. of Phys. of Padua.—The said degree he took at Padua in October 1655.

Creations.

Apr. 10. Peter Vasson was created Bach. of Phys. by vertue of the Chancellours (O. Cromwell) Letters, dat. 25 Mar. this year, which say that he the said Chanc. had received very good satisfaction from

several hands touching Mr. Vasson, as to his suffering for his Religion in his own Nation, his service in the late Wars to the Commonwealth, his skill in the faculty he professeth, and success (through the blessing of God) in the practice of it, together with the unblameableness of his conversation, &c.

25. Oliver Pocklington M. of A. of Cambr. now a practitioner of Physick at Nottingham, was created Doct. of Physick by vertue of the said Chancellours Letters written in his behalf.

May 6. Thom. Tiszaebetsi or Tizabetsi a Transylvanian (Hungario Transylvanus) was created M. of A.

Dec. 29. Faustus Morsteyn a Noble man of the Greater Poland was created M. of A. by vertue of a Dispens. from the Delegates.—He was a Student or Sojourner in the Univ. several years pur∣posely to obtain learning from the publ. Libr.

Jan. 29. Abrah. Conyard of Roan in Normandy, who had studied Divinity several years in Academies in France and Switzerland, was created Bach. of Div. by the decree of the Members of Convocati∣on, who were well satisfied with his Letters testimonial under the hands of the Pastors of the reformed Church of Roan, written in his behalf.

In the beginning of this year studied in Ox. in the condition of a Sojourner Henry Oldenburg who wrot himself sometimes Grubendole, and in the month of June he was entred a Student by the name and title of Henricus Oldenburg, Bremensis, nobilis Saxo; at which time he was Tutor to a young Irish Noble man called Henry ô Bryen, then a Student also there. He had been Consul for his Country∣men in the Duchy of Breme in Lower Saxony to reside in Lond in the time of the Long Parl. and Oliver, and acted for his Country men in that Office for some years. At length being quitted of that Employment, he continued in Engl, was Tutor to L. O Bryen before mention'd, and afterwards to Will. L. Cavendish, and at length up∣on the foundation of the Royal Society Fellow and Secretary thereof. He hath written, Philosophical Transactions; commencing from 6 March 1664, and carried on to Numb. 136, dated 25 June 1677; all in qu. By which work he rendred himself a great benefactor to mankind, by his affectionate care and indefatigable diligence and endeavours, in the maintaining philosophical intelligence and pro∣moting the designs and interests of profitable and general Philoso∣phy: And translated into English (1) The prodromus to a dissertation concerning Solids naturally contained within Solids, &c. Lond 1671. oct. Written by Nich. S. Steno. (2) A genuine explication of the book of Revelation, full of sundry new christian considerations, &c. Lond. 1671. oct. Written by the learned and pious A. B. Peganius. (3) The life of the Duchess of Mazarine. Printed in oct, and other things which I have not yet seen. This Mr. Oldenburg died at Charlton near Greenwich in Kent in Aug. 1678, and was buried there, leaving then behind him issue (by his wife the dau. and only child of the learned Joh. Dury a Scot, by whom he had an Estate of 60 l. per an. in the Marshes of Kent) a son named Rupert, God-son to Pr. Rupert and a daughter called Sophia. As for Henry Lord O Bryen before mention'd, he was the eldest son of Henry Earl of Thomond, and was afterwards one of his Majesties Privy Council in Irel. He di∣ed in Aug. 1678, to the very great grief of his Relations: Where∣upon his widow Catherine, Baroness Clifton, Sister and Heiress to Charles sometimes Duke of Richmond, was married to Sir Joseph Williamson, one of the principal Secretaries of State, in Decemb. following. By which match, tho he lost his place of Secretary, by the endeavours of Tho. Earl of Danby, who intended her for one of his sons, yet he obtained large possessions in Kent and elsewhere, and the hereditary High Stewardship of Gravesend in the said County.

School there, and thence elected Student of Ch. Ch, but ejected in the time of Oliver by Dr. Owen his Dean: Whereupon retiring to S. Maries Hall, he entred upon the Law line and took a degree as a member of that house. After the restauration of his Maj. Ch. 2. he obtained his Students place again, but took no higher degree, yet in the vacancy of the See of Durham between the death of Dr. Joh. Cosin and the translation thereunto of Dr. Crew, he had confer'd on him the Chancellourship of the Dioc. of Durham. He hath extant, besides several copies of verses occasionally printed in books, Verses spoken at the appearance of the K. and Qu, Duke and Dutchess of York in Christ Church Hall, Oxford, 29 Sept. 1663. Oxon. 1663. qu. They were also about the same time printed at Lond. with this title, Speeches spoken to the K. and Qu, Duke and, &c. pr. in qu. After dinner of the same day his Majesty with his royal Consort and their royal Highnesses went from their Lodgings with their respective Retinews purposely to see that spatious Refectory which had been built by the great Cardi∣nal Wolsey; where the Dean, Canons and Students waiting their coming, Mr. Ireland spoke the said Verses (in number 116) on his knees: Which being well done the K. thanked him for them, gave him his hand to kiss and commanded a copy of them. This Mr. Ireland, who might have done greater matters had not his mind been diverted by the frequent indulgences of Poets, died at or near the Golden Lyon in the Strand within the Liberty of Westm. during his attendance on his beloved Miss, in the middle of Decemb. 1676.

Jun. 18. James Bedford of Queens Coll.—This person, (a young forward Presbyterian) who was one of the number of Cambridge men that came to Oxon in 1648 to obtain preferment from the Vi∣sitors, was by them made Fellow of Queens Coll, being then Bach of Arts. So that he and George Phillips another of the same gang (afterwards Proctor of the Univ.) being Juniors and wanting good chambers, they did on the 21 of May 1649 make a motion to the Society of that House that forasmuch as the younger Fellows had bad Chambers, they would allow that the outward Chappel (which they said was useless) might be converted into Chambers for them to lodge in, &c. Which motion being looked upon by the Seniors there (men of the old stamp) as a horrid and villanous thing, they did not dare to express it so, for fear of danger that might ensue, but passed it over as a slight matter. Afterwards this Mr. Bedford, who was a for∣ward and conceited person, and presum'd to take his degree of Bac. of Div. before those who were much his Seniors in the House, be∣came Pastor of Blunsham and Erith in Huntingdonshire before this year, and wrot and published The perusal of an old Statute concern∣ing death and judgment, Sermon at the funeral of Mrs. Francis Bed∣ford (dau. of Sam.

Incorporations.

May 14. Joh. Collins M. A. of Cambr.—Whether he be the same Joh. Collins who was Doct. of Div. and author of Several discourses concerning the actual providence of God; divided into three parts, &c. Lond. 1678. 79. qu. and of other things as 'tis probable, I cannot yet tell. He is not to be taken to be the same with Joh. Collinges Bach. of Div. and sometimes Minister of S. Stephens Parish in Nor∣wich, a frequent Writer before this time, because their names dif∣fer. See the titles of some of his works in Bodlies Catalogue and else∣where in others. Now I am got into the name of Collins I cannot but let the Reader know something of John Collins the Accomptant, who, having been a person of extraordinary worth, considering his education, you may be pleased therefore to know that he was born at Wood-Eaton near to, and in the County of, Oxon, on Satur∣day 5 March 1624. His father was a Nonconformist Divine, and tho not suffer'd to preach in Churches, yet in Prisons to Malefactors, which, with the correcting of the Press, obtain'd him a subsistence. At 16 years of age Joh. Collins was put an Apprentice to a Booksel∣ler (one Tho. Allam) living without the Turl-gate of Oxon, but Troubles soon after following, he left that Trade, and was em∣ployed in Clerkship under, and received some mathematical know∣ledge from, Mr. Joh. Marr one of the Clerks of the Kitchin to Pr. Charles, afterwards K. Ch. 2, I mean the same Mr. Marr who was eminent for his mathematical knowledge, and noted for those his excellent Dyals, wherewith the Gardens of his Maj. K. Ch. 1. were adorned. But the intestine Wars and Troubles increasing, Collins lost that employment and went seven years to sea, most part of it in an English Merchant-man, that became a Man of War in the Venetian Service against the Turks: In which, having leisure, he ap∣plied part of his studies to Mathematicks, and Merchant-Accompts, and upon his return he fell to the practice thereof, and afterwards profess'd Writing, Merchant-Accompts, and some parts of Mathe∣maticks: And having drawn up some books of Accompts, and di∣vers

loose questions, for the instructions of his Scholars in the year 1652, he committed them to the press, under the title of An intro∣duction to Merchants Accompts. They were reprinted in 1665 with∣out alteration, and in 1666 the fire consumed the greatest part of the impression. At length it was reprinted with the addition of two more Accompts than were formerly extant. On the 12. of Oct. 1667 he was elected Fellow of the Royal Society upon the publica∣tion in the Philos. Transact. of his Solution of a Problem concerning time, to wit, about the Julian Period, with divers Perpetual Alma∣nacks in single verses; a Chorographical Problem, and other things afterwards in the said Transact. concerning Merchants Accompts, Compound Interest, and Annuities, &c. While Anthony Earl of Shaftesbury was L. Chanc. he nominated him in divers references concerning suits depending in Chancery, about intricate Accompts, to assist in the stating thereof, which was some emolument to him, and to the shortning of the charge of the parties concern'd: From which time especially, his assistance was often used in other places and by other persons; whereby he not only obtained some wealth but a great name, and became accounted in matters of that nature the most useful and necessary person of his time, and thereupon, towards his latter end, he was made Accomptant to the Royal Fi∣shery Company. His works, besides those before mentioned, are among others (1) The Sector on a Quadrant: or, a treatise contain∣ing the description and use of four several Quadrants, &c. Lond. 1658. qu; in which there are very curious prints of two great Quadrants, and of two small Quadrants, with particular projections on them, serving for the Latitude of London. See in the Astronomical Appen∣dix to The Sphere of Marc. Manilius made an English Poem. Lond. 1675. fol. pag. 116, written by Edw. Sherburne Esq, afterwards a Knight (2) Mariners plain Scale new plained. This is a treatise of Navigation and was print. in 1659. In which, besides projections of the Sphere, there are constructions for many Astronomical Problems and Spherical propositions. This book hath found good acceptance, and is now become a common Theme to the Scholars of Christ Ch. Hospital in London, whereof forty (by his Majesties bounty and the establishing a Lecturer to instruct them) are constantly taught Na∣vigation. (3) Treatise of Geometrical dyalling. printed 1659. 'Tis of good esteem, both for the newness and easiness of method in si∣tuating the Requisites, and drawing the Hour-lines. (4) The do∣ctrine of Decimal Arithmetick, simple interest, &c. As also of com∣pound Interest and Annuities; generally performed for any time of pay∣ment, &c. Lond. 1664 in a quarter of a sheet, for portability in a Letter-case. It was published again by J. D.—Lond. 1685. (5) An introduction to Merchants accompts: containing seven distinct que∣stions or Accompts. 1. An easie question to enter beginners, &c. Lond. 1674. fol. (6) A plea for bringing in of Irish Cattle and keeping out of fish caught by Forreigners, &c. Lond. 1680. qu. (7) Address to the members of Parl. of the Counties of Cornwall and Devon, about the advancement of Tin, Fishery and other Manufactures. Ibid. (8) Salt and Fishery: A discourse thereof insisting on the following heads. 1. The several ways of making salt in England, &c. Lond. 1682. qu. (9) Arithmetick in whole numbers and fractions, both vulgar and de∣cimal: with Tables for the forbearance and rebate of money, &c. Lond. 1688. in tw, published by Tho. Plant Accomptant. What other things Mr. Collins hath written I know not; and therefore I shall only say, that if we did not further enlarge by telling the World how much it is obliged for his pains in exciting the learned to pub∣lish their Works, and in acting the part of an ingenious Obstetrix at the Press, in correcting and in drawing of Schemes, we should be much injurious to his memory. After the Act at Oxon was fi∣nished, 1682, he rode thence to Malmsbury in Wilts, in order to view the ground to be cut for a river between Isis and Avon: which journey being performed between twelve at noon and eleven at night in a hot day, he did, at his arrival in his Inn, drink more than he should at that time (being very hot and his blood not set∣led) of Red streak Cider; which giving him an Astma, and that a consumption, he died thereof in his Lodging on Garlick-hill in Lon∣don, on Saturday 10. of Nov. 1683: whereupon his body was bu∣ried on Tuesday following in the Church of S. James Garlick-hythe in the South Isle just behind the Pulpit.

June ... Tho. Margetson Doct. of Phys. of Aurange or Orange—This Physitian, who was Son of Jam. Margetson of Yorkshire, was admitted a Student of Trin. Coll. near Dublin, 5. May 1647, reti∣red to Oxon, in the latter of 1650, entred himself a Student of S. Ma∣ries Hall, and as a member thereof he took the degrees in Arts: Af∣terwards applying his mind to the study of Phys. had the degree of Doctor of that faculty confer'd on him at Aurange before mention'd in the middle of March 1656.

These Cambridge men following were incorporated after the so∣lemnity of the Act, on the 14 of July.

Andrews Church in Holbourne near London, D. of D, Chaplain in Ord. to his Majesty, Prebendary of Canterbury, Can. resid. of S. Pauls Cathedral, Dean thereof upon the promotion of Dr. Will.

Patrick to Chichester, and Dr. Gilbert Ironside to Bristow, by the Bishops of London, S. Asaph and Rochester, by vertue of a Commission directed to them in that behalf. He hath

published divers books, too many to have their titles set down here, in defence of the Church of England, which shew him to be an or∣thodox and learned man. The first book which made him known to the world was his—Irenicum: A weapon salve for the Churches wounds. Lond. 1661.

Tho. White of Peter House—I find one Thom. White a Minister of London (of Allhallows the Great as it seems) to be author of (1) Method, and instructions for the art of divine meditation, &c.

Mary Le Bow in London, on the 5 of July 1691; at which time other Bishops were consecrated.

Mathew Pole or Poole M. of A. of Emanuel Coll.—He was Mini∣ster of S.

He left behind him certain English Annotations on the Holy Scripture, which being imperfect, were finished by other hands in two vo∣lumes in fol. an. 1685. See more among the Writers in Joh. Owen p. 564.

Joh. Meriton M. A. of S. Johns Coll.—He was before his Maje∣sties restauration the Sunday's Lecturer at S. Martin in the Fields in Westminster, afterward D. D. Rector of S. Michaels Church in Cornhill, Lecturer at (S. Mary Hill) &c. in London. He hath pub∣lished several Sermons as (1) Curse not the King, preached at S. Mart. in the Fields, 30.

Joh. Dillingham Bach. of Div. of Sidney Coll.

Joh. Browne Doct. of Phys. of Camb.

.... Bernard D. of D. of the fame Univ.—The Christian name of this Doctor is not registred, and therefore I do not know to the contrary but that he may be Nich. Bernard, of whom I have spoken in the Fasti 1628. Qu.

All which Cambridge men viz. Joh. and Edw. Stillingfleet Thomas White, R. Cumberland, M. Poole, J. Meriton, W. Williams, A. Walker, J. Diliingham, Jo. Browne and ... Bernard were incorporated on the 14. of July. There were 34 Masters of that University in∣corporated on the same day, among whom, besides those before mention'd, was Tho. Wilson of Clare Hall; one of both whose names was Rector of Arrow in Warwickshire, after his Majesties restaura∣tion, a Writer against the Quakers, as Will. Pen, G. Fox, G. White∣head, &c. an. 1678 and author of Sermons in 1679. 83 &c. whe∣ther the same I cannot tell. One Will. Johnson also of the said Hall of Clare, was then incorporated, but not to be taken with one of both his names, who was D. of D, Chaplain and Sub-Almoner to K. Ch. 2, author of Deus nobiscum; A narrative of a great deli∣verance at Sea. Lond. 1659, &c. oct. and of other things. He died 4.

Creations.

July 9. Edw. Davenport of Ʋniv. Coll. was created Bach. of Phys. by dispensation from the Delegates—I find this person to be ad∣mitted to the said degree 15 June 1661, and the same day admitted to practice his faculty.

July 29. Richard Cromwell Chanc. elected of the University of Oxon, was actually created Mast. of Arts in a Convocation of cer∣tain Doctors and Masters of the University held in Whitehall, with∣in the liberty of Westm, and soon after, in the same Convocation, he was installed Chancellour of the said University, which was the first publick honour done unto him in the nation.—He was the el∣dest Son of Oliver L. Protector, and had no other breeding than in hawking, hunting, horse-racing, &c. He was a boon companion, and had done no service in the Parliament Army, unless it was the often drinking his Fathers Landlords (K. Ch. 2.) health. His abili∣ties in praying and preaching and love to the Sectaries was much like those of his cousin Rich. Ingoldesby, mention'd among the Creations of M. of A. under the year 1649. However he being designed to be his Fathers successor in tne Protectorate, was, about the time that this honour was done to him, sworn a Privy Counsellour, made a Colonel in the Army, (when fighting was over) to the end that he might have an interest in parties and parts of the Body politique, and the first Lord of the Other House. About that time he was com∣monly called the most noble Lord Richard, and rife discourses there were of Richard the fourth, but they proved no more than the story of Queen Dick. On the 4 of Sept. 1658, he was proclaimed Lord Protector (his Father dying the day before) at the usual places in London where Kings use to be, and soon after had addresses flew to him at Whitehall from all parts of the three Nations, to salute and magnifie his assumption to the Soveraignty, wherein he was cele∣brated for his excellency of his wisdom and nobleness of mind, for the lovely composition, of his body, &c. as if he had been another Titus, Deliciae Gentis & Dominii Britanici, &c. In the latter end of Apr. 1659 he was, as a pitiful thing, laid aside and deposed: Whereupon withdrawing to Hursley in Hampshire, absconded there for a time. He had before taken to Wife Dorothy Daughter and Co∣heir of Rich. Maijor or Mager of Hursley before mention'd, Son of Joh. Maijor sometimes Mayor and Alderman of Southampton, by whom he had issue Oliver Cromwell and other Children. The other Daughter and Coheir named Anne was married to John Dunch of Pusey in Berks, Son of Sam. Dunch of North Baddisley in Hampshire Esq, by whom he had a Son named Major or Maijor Dunch and other Children. This Rich. Cromwell, who was born in the antient Borough of Huntingdon, has gone through no death as yet, only a political one. His younger Brother formerly called Lord Harry L. Lieut. of Ireland, was born also at Hunt. and died, and was bu∣ried some years since at Wickhen in Cambridgshire.

Sept. 5. Robert Whitehall M. of A. of Mert. Coll. was created Bac. of Phys. by vertue of the Letters of R. Cromwell Chanc. of the Uni∣versity.

Nov. 11. Jos. Williamson of Qu. Coll, now in France, was diplo∣mated M. of A.

Dec. 2. Abraham Cowley the great ornament of our Nation, as well by the candor of his life, as the excellency of his writings was

created Doctor of Phys.—This Gentleman, who is justly characte∣rized to be Anglorum Pindarus, Flaccus, Maro, deliciae, decus, & desiderium aevi sui, was born in Fleetstreet near to the end of Chan∣cery-lane in the Parish of S. Dunstan in the West in London, an. 1618. His Father, who was a Grocer, dying before the Son was born, the Mother, by her endeavours and friends, got him to be a Kings Scholar at Westminster, where in the year 1633, being then going into the sixteenth year of his age, he composed a book called Poetical Blossomes; whereby the great pregnancy of his parts was discovered. Soon after having obtained the Greek and Rom. Lan∣guages, he was removed to Trin. Coll. in Cambridge, of which he was elected Scholar an. 1636: where by the progress and continu∣ance of his wit, it appeared that two things were joyn'd in it, which seldom meet together, viz. that it was ripe and lasting. In the beginning of 1643, he being then M. of A, was among many o∣thers ejected his Coll. and University: whereupon retiring to Oxon, he setled in S. Johns Coll, and under the name of a Scholar of Oxon he published the same year a Poem entit. A Satyre. The Puritan and the Papist. In that House he prosecuted his Academical Studies with the like success as before, and was not wanting in his duty in the War it self, whereby he became acquainted with the great men of the Court and the Gown. After he had left Oxon which was a little before the surrender thereof for the use of the Parliament, he went to Paris, where falling into the acquaintance of Dr. Stephen Goffe a Brother of the Oratory, he was by him prefer'd and plac'd in the family of the noble and munificent Henry Lord Jermyn, af∣terwards E. of S. Alban: who having a great and singular respect for him, he was by his most generous endeavours design'd to be Ma∣ster of the Savoy Hospital; which, tho granted to his high merit by both the Charles's, 1. and 2, yet by certain persons, enemies to the Muses, he lost that place. He was absent from his native Country about 10 years, which were for the most part spent either in bear∣ing a part in the distresses of the Regal family, or in labouring in the affairs thereof. In the year 1656 he returned into England, and was for a time brought into trouble, but afterwards complying with some of the men then in power, (which was much taken no∣tice of by the Royal party) he obtained an order to be created Do∣ctor of Physick: Which being done to his mind (whereby he gain∣ed the ill will of some of his friends) he went into France again, (having made a copy of verses on Olivers death) where continuing till towards the time of the blessed restauration of K. Ch. 2, he re∣turned; but then not finding that preferment confer'd on him which he expected, while others for their money carried away most places, he retired discontented into Surrey, where he spent the remaining part of his days in a private and studious condition, mostly at Chert∣sie, where he had a lease of a Farm held of the Queen, procured for him by George Duke of Bucks, from the Earl of S. Alban before mention'd. The writings of this most eminent Poet are these (1) Poetical Blossomes. Lond. 1633. qu, which contain Antonius and Melida, and The tragical History of Piramus and Thisbe. The first is ded. to Dr. Williams Bishop of Line, and the other to his Master Mr. Lambert Osbaldeston. Before both is his picture, with his age set over it, viz. 13 (but false) an. 1633. There are also verses made by his School-fellows in commendation of them, one of which is Rob. Mead, who proved afterwards a most ingenious person, as I have elsewhere told you; and at the end are two Elegies, one on Dudley Lord Carleton, and another on his kinsman Rich. Clerk of Linc. Inn Gent, and A dream of Elysium. I have seen a book entit.—Sylva: or, divers copies of verses made upon sundry occasions. Lond. 1636. oct, said in the title to be written by A. C. but whether by Abr. Cowley, I doubt it, because the said A. C. seems to be not of Cambr. (2) Loves riddle, a pastoral Comedy. Lond. 1638. oct, written while he was at Westminster School, and ded. to Sir Ken. Digby (3) Naufragium joculare, Comaedia. Lond. 1638. oct: Acted before the Academians of Cambr. in Trin. Coll. there, on the 4. of the nones of Feb. 1638. (3) A Satyre. The Puritan and the Papist. Pr. in 1643 in one sh. and an half in qu. This was published again at London in 1682 in qu. in a book entit. Wit and Loyalty revived in a collection of some smart Satyrs in verse and prose, on the late times. The prefacer to these Satyrs complains that this of Mr. Cow∣ley was not set forth by the publisher of his first collection of pieces of Poetry, and gives two presumptive reasons thereof, and won∣ders that his Poem called Brutus, and that upon the B. of Lincolns enlargement from the Tower (which he guesseth not to be his) have met with so good fortune as to have place therein. See more in Joh. Birkenhead, among the Writers, an. 1679. p. 476. (4) The Mistress: or several copies of love verses. Lond. 1647. oct. (5) Guar∣dian, Com. Lond. 1650. qu. Acted before Pr. Charles at Trin. Coll. in Cambr. 12. Mar. 1641. (6) Cutter of Colemanstreet Com. (7) Po∣ems, viz. 1. Miscellanies. 2. The Mistriss or Love verses. 3. Pinda∣riques, &c. with notes. Lond. 1656. fol. Before a copy of this book, which he gave to the publick Library at Oxon, he wrot with his own hand A Pindarique Ode, whereby the book presents it self to the Ʋniversity Library of Oxon. (8) Ode upon the happy restauration of K. Ch. 2. Lond. 1660. qu. (9) Poemata Latina, in quibus continen∣tur sex libri Plantarum, cum notis. Lond. 1668 and 78. oct, with his picture before them, and a short account of his life written in Lat. by Dr. Tho. Sprat. Among these books, were reprinted Plan∣tarum libri duo, which had been printed at Lond. 1662. oct. A tran∣slation of the sixth book of these Plants, was printed in 1680. qu. (10) Miscellan. lib. 1, wherein is Opus imperfectum Davideios sacri Poematis. Pr. with Poem. Lat. (11) Poem on the late Civil War. Lond. 1679. qu. This was afterwards printed in the translation of the sixth book of Plants before mention'd. As for other of his wri∣tings which have escaped my sight, you may see more in the first part of his Works printed at least eight times in fol, in the second

part of his Works, being what was written and published by him∣self in his younger years, pr. at least four times in fol, and in the third part of his works, containing his 6. books of Plants, made English by several hands. fol. &c. A little before his first return in∣to England 1656 there was a book published under his name, entit. The iron age, which he disclaimed in the preface of his Poems which came out that year. He died at Chertsey in Surrey before mention'd, on the 28. of July 1667 aged 49 years: Whereupon his body being conveyed to the house of his great Patron George D of Bucks, cal∣led Wallingford house near to Whitehall, was conveyed thence to Westminster Abbey, on the 3 of Aug. following, accompanied by divers persons of eminent quality, and there, in the South cross isle, or large isle joyning to the South side of the Choire, was bu∣ried near to the place where the reliques of Jeffr. Chaucer had been lodged. About the middle of May 1675, the said Duke of Bucks, did, at his own charge erect over his grave a curious Pedestal of white Marble, and a stately urn placed thereon. On the pedestal is a most elegant and befitting inscription engraven, made by his great admirer Dr. Tho. Sprat before mention'd, and all inviron'd with an iron grate, where we shall now leave him.

Petrus Schumacherus a young Dane, was a sojournour this, and several years after in Oxon, purposely to obtain literature in the publick library, and was much favour'd and encouraged by Mr. Tho. Barlow the Keeper thereof—Afterwards he became a man of note in his own Country, and, tho the Son of a Vintner, Chancellour of Denmark, &c. He hath lately sent his picture to the University of Oxon, and it now hangs in the School-Gallery.

May 14. Rob. Woseley or Wolseley who had been a Student in this Univ. for 8 years time, and a Burgess, as 'tis said in the register, in the late Parliament, was actually created Master of Arts—I can∣not find his name in the Catalogues of Parliament men that sate in the three Parliaments going before this time, only Charles Wolseley Esq. who was one of Olivers Lords.

About a month or two after was printed a sharp Libel intit. Sundry things from several hands concerning the Ʋniversity of Oxford, &c. And at the end of it were printed 25 Queries: the last of which runs thus. Whether the Boy Dr. Staughton of Exeter Coll. did well to lye in his scar∣let Gown that night he was made Doctor, since his degree was a thing he ought not to have dreamed of? He was then Lord of the ancient Mannour of Staughton in Surrey, which unexpectedly fell to him af∣ter the death of divers persons of that name, and on the 29 of Ja∣nuary 1660 he was created a Baronet.

May 18. Tho. Jones of Mert. Coll, who accumulated the degrees of Law by vertue of the Chanc. Letters, was then adm. to proceed.

Doct. of Phys.

Jun. 2. Thom. Jeanes of Magd. Coll.—This person, who was originally of Trin. Coll. in Cambr. did, while he was a Junior there, with Joh. Fidoe and Will.

The humble advice to the Lecturers of Banbury in Ox∣fordshire and of Brackley in Northamptonshire. Lond. 1648, in 2 sh. and an half in qu. Afterwards Jeanes going to Oxon, was made Fellow of Magd. Coll. by the Visitors, and always after, during his stay there, he was esteem'd by all that knew him a good Scholar and a generous and stour man. But so it fell out, that after Dr. Tho. Pierce became President of the said Coll. he found means to expell him thence, an. 1662, under pretence of having a hand in the said vile Pamphlet; but those then of the House, who knew the proud and malicious humour of Peirce, have often told me that that was not the reason of his ejectment, but because Dr. Jeanes had found fault with his Concio Synodica ad Clerum Anglican, publish∣ed that year; wherein he said were several barbarisms and false Latins. Which report coming to ears of Dr. Pierce, his malice be∣came so great against, that he never left, till he had outed him from the College. After his expulsion, which the generality of the So∣ciety were against and did lament, (because they knew he was sorry for what he had done in his raw years) he went to Peterbo∣rough, where he practised his Faculty with good success, but in his journey homeward from a certain noble Patient, in a dark night without a Companion, his horse floundred in a Gravel-pit, flung him off from his back, and was forthwith stifled, in the month of Nov. 1668.

But the said Marquess dying in the night time of the 24 of Octob. (being then Duke of Somerset) Sir Edw. Hyde Kt. sometimes Bach. of Arts of Magd. Hall, now L.

• ... Tho. Tanner of New Coll. May 2.
• ... John Dod of Ch. Ch. May 2.

The senior Proctor being Fellow of New College, was ejected thence in Aug. by his Majesties Commissioners to make room for those that had been turned out by the Visitors appointed by Parl. So that then he retiring to Hart Hall, he spent the remainder of his Proctorship there. The junior Proctor wanting time when he was elected, a Protestation was openly read in Convocation at the time of his admission by Mr. Will. Hawkins of Ch. Ch. a Candidate for the Procuratorial Office. The particulars of which being many and large, I shall now pass them by for brevity sake, and only say that Mr. Dod continued in his Office while Mr. Hawkins appealed to the Court of Chancery.

The Scene of all things was now changed, and alterations made in the Countenances, Manners and Words of all men. Those that for 12 years last past had governed and carried all things in a man∣ner at their pleasure, did now look discontented and were much perplex'd, foreseeing that their being in the University must inevi∣tably vanish. Those that had laid under a cloud for several years behind, appear with cheerful looks, while others that had flourish∣ed, droop'd or withdrew themselves privately, they knowing very well that they had eaten the bread of other men, and that if they should continue in the University, should undergo a Visitation and Censure by those persons, whom they themselves had formerly visited and ejected. But Justice being to be done, Commissioners were appointed by his Majesty, after his restauration, to rectifie all things in the University, who sitting several weeks in Aug. Sept. &c. restored all such that were living unmarried to their respective places, and many that were peaceable and willing to conform and renounce their factious Principles they kept in, &c.

Whereupon the Chanc. desired that he might be dispensed with, for the defect of two Terms, which was accordingly done. This person Th. Smith was after∣wards D. of D, and a Writer and Publisher of several books, where∣by he hath obtained the character of a learned Gent. and therefore ought hereafter to be remembred among the famous Writers of this University.

Coll. on one and the same day, in the place of Ezr. Tongue, an. 1634. Afterwards he took the degrees in Arts, and intended to be a Preacher, but being not minded to conform, he left the Coll, applied his mind to the study of Physick, and went to Leyden in Holland, where he took the degr. of Doct. of that faculty. Whence returning and setling at Richmond in Surrey, became at length Fellow of the Coll. of Phys. at Lond, of which he was lately Censor. He hath written and published A-la-mode Phle∣botomy, no good fashion: or the copy of a Letter to Dr. Hungerford (Dr. Franc. Hungerford of Reading) complaining of, and instancing in, the phantastical behaviour and unfair dealings of some London Phy∣sitians, when they come to be consulted withal about sick persons living at a distance from them in the Country. Whereupon a fit occasion is taken to discourse of the profuse way of blood-letting formerly unheard of, tho now a days so mightily in request in England. Lond. 1681. oct.

Incorporations.

Mar. 27. Andrew Beech Doct. of Phys. of Padua.—This Gent. who was a Londoner born, and son of a father of both his names, took the said degree at Pad. in Dec. 1657.

David Bruce a Scot of an honorable family, Doctor of Phys. of Valence, was incorporated the same day.—He was the son of Andr. Bruce the youngest of 10 sons of the Laird of Fingask, D. D. and Principal of S. Leonards Coll. in the University of S. Andrew, had been educated there in Humanity, and admitted M. of Arts, &c. Afterwards travelling into France, he studied Physick at Mount∣••••l••er and Paris several years, with a design to be doctorated in

that faculty at Padua, but the Plague raging in Italy, he went to Lyons for a time, and afterwards going to Valence in Daupheny he took the degree of Doct. of Phys. there, an. 1657. After his return into Engl. he was incorporated as before I have told you, and soon after attended as Physitian on their Royal Highnesses James and Anne Duke and Dutchess of York with his great Uncle Sir Joh. Wed∣derbourne Doct. of Phys. But after some years of attendance being wearied by the Court toll, most of the service lying on him because of the said Sir Johns infirmity, he retired from that Employment, as the said Sir John had done a year before, and at length after ma∣ny peregrinations he setled in his own Country, and is now living at Edenburgh in good repute for his practice.

June 20. Andrew Bruce younger brother to David before menti∣on'd, M. of A. of S. Leonards Coll. in the Univ. of S. Andrew.—He was lately Professor of Philosophy in the said Coll, was now con∣versant in Studies in Ch. Ch. in this University, and after his Incor∣poration in the degree of Master he returned to Scotland, and be∣came Minister of Newtyle in the Shire of Angus, where he finished his course about 21 years since.

Jul. 17. Patrick Sherenden M. of A. of Trin. Coll. near Dublin.—He was afterwards D. of D. and Bish. of Cloyne in Irel. 1679, on the death of Dr. Edw. Singe, who being Bish. of Cloyne, Cork and Ross, the two last Sees were then, the same year, confer'd on Dr. Edw. W••tenhall sometimes of Linc. Coll.

• Aug. 4. Nich. Stanley Doct. of Phys. of Leyden.
• 7. Nich. Davies Doct. of Phys. of Leyden.

The first of these two, who was son of Dr. Edw. Stanley menti∣on'd among the Writers, p. 195, was Fellow of New Coll, and af∣terwards honorary Fellow of the Coll. of Phys. at London.

Edmund Borlase Doct. of Phys. of Leyden, was incorporated the same day, Aug. 7.—This person, who was son of Sir Joh. Bor∣laso Kt, Master of the Ordnance and one of the Lords Justices of Irel. 1643, (Sir Hen. Tichborne being the other) was educated in the Coll. near Dubl, and going afterwards to Leyden had the said degr. of Doct. of Phys. confer'd on him there 1650. Afterwards he set∣led in the City of Chester, where he practised his faculty with good success to his dying day. Among the several books which he hath written and published I find these, (1) Latham Spaw in Lanca∣shire: with some remarkable Cases and Cures effected by it. Lond. 1670. oct. dedicated to Charles Earl of Derby. (2) The reduction of Ireland to the Crown of England. With the Governours since the Conquest by K. Hen. 2, an. 1172, with some passages in their Govern∣ment. A brief account of the Rebellion an Dom. 1641. Also, the ori∣ginal of the Ʋniv. of Dublin, and the Coll. of Physitians. Lond. 1675. in a large oct. (3) The History of the execrable Irish Rebellion, traced from many preceeding Acts to the grand eruption 23 Oct. 1641. And thence pursued to the Act of Settlement 1672. Lond. 1680. fol. Much of this book is taken from another intit. The Irish Rebellion: or, the History of the beginnings and first progress of the general Rebel∣lion raised within the Kingdom of Ireland, 23 Oct. 1641, &c. Lond. 1646. qu. Written by Sir Joh. Temple Kt, Master of the Rolls, and one of his Majesties honorable privy Council in Irel. (4) Brief re∣flections on the Earl of Castlehavens Memoires of his engagement and carriage in the War of Ireland. By which the Government at that time and the Justice of the Crown since, are vindicated from aspersions cast on both. Lond. 1682. oct. In the third p. of the Epist. to the Rea∣der before the book is a pretty severe reflection made on the design of the eighth Chapt. of Sir Will. Dugdale's book intit. A short view of the late Troubles in England, as was a little before by another person in A Letter in answer to a friend, upon notice of a book entit. A short view, &c. Wherein in the eigth Chapter the occasion of the execrable Irish Rebellion in 1641 is egregiously mistaken. This Letter, which is dated on the last of Apr. 1681, was printed at Lond. in 1 sh. in fol. the same year. What other things Dr. Borlase hath written I know not, nor any thing else of him, only that he died and was buried at Chester, after the year 1682.

Sept. 20. Joh. Bidgood Doct. of Phys. of Padua, was ••hen incor∣porated.—This person, who had been Fellow of Exeter Coll, was ejected thence in 1648 by the then Visitors appointed by Parl, first for Non-submission, and secondly for drinking of healths to the confu∣sion of Reformers. This last reason was mention'd in Hist. & Antiq. Ʋniv. Oxon. lib. 1. p. 397. a. under the tenth head, next following the matter of Nich. Braine there mention'd, which is under the ninth. But the author communicating the copy of that book be∣fore it went to the Press to a certain Doctor in Oxon of Bidgood's faculty, he, upon the perusal of that passage, did falsly (unknow∣ing to the author) acquaint, by another hand, the said Bidgood then living at Exeter of it. Whereupon Bidgood, a covetous per∣son, fearing that such a passage as that might, when made public, hinder his practice among the godly party at Exeter and near it, he made application by letters to the said Doctor of Oxon, and to Dr. Fell the publisher of the History, to have it taken out: Whereupon Dr. Fell wondring that he should scruple at such a passage, which made much for his Loyalty, the sheet wherein it was, was reprint∣ed, and the eleventh head in the said p. 397. a, was made the tenth in its place. This Health, tho said by his Contemporaries in Ex∣eter Coll, to be a Cup of Devils to Reformers, yet the author of the aforesaid History, finding it not so in the Visitors Register of their actions, but as it is word by word before mention'd, therefore did he set it so down, without any invention of his own as some did surmise. This Dr. Bidgood, who was honorary Fellow of the Coll. of Physitians at Lond, died very rich at Exeter on the 13 of Jan. 1690, after he had cashier'd and disinherited his nat. son call'd Joh. Sommers sometimes M. A. of Trin. Coll. His Estate was computed to be worth between 25 and 30000 l; the main bulk of which he left to one Humph. Bidgood his Kinsman, and some to pious uses:

And having been a person of a surley and proud nature, and offen∣sive in word and action, he did a little before his death desire par∣don and forgiveness of all the world, especially of several persons with whom he had any animosities.

• Oct. 17. Robert Henchman Doct. of Phys. of Padua.
• Oct. 17. Christop. Bathurst Doct. of Phys. of Padua.

The first of these two, who was son of Onuphrius Henchman, had the degree of Doct. confer'd on him at Pad. an. 1654, the other in 1659, and afterwards practised his fac. in Lincolnshire.

Nov. 19. Franc. Giffard M. A. of Cambr:—One of both his names, and Mast. of Arts, hath written and published, The wicked Petition: or, Israels sinfulness in asking a King, explained in a Serm. at the Assizes held at Northampton, first of March 1680. Lond. 1681. qu. Whether the same I cannot tell. Sure I am that the Ser∣mon was seasonably delivered, the K. being then tired our by facti∣ous people with Petitions relating to Parliaments.

CREATIONS.

After the restauration of his Majesty K. Ch. 2, it was his and the pleasure of the Marquess of Hertford Chanc. of the Univ. of Ox, and of Sir E. Hyde, who succeeded him in that Office this year, that there should be a Creation in all faculties of such that had suffer'd for his Majesties Cause, and had been ejected from the University by the Visitors appointed by Parl. an. 1648. 49. &c.

Mast. of Arts.

Seventy and one Masters of Arts at least were actually created, among whom, some that had not been Sufferers, thrust themselves into the crowd for their money. Others, yet few, were Gentle∣men, and were created by the favour of the Chancellours Letters only. Among the 70 and odd Masters which were created, I shall mention these following.

• Aug. 2. Charles Wren Sons of Matth. B. of Ely.
• Aug. 2. Will. Wren Sons of Matth. B. of Ely.

Charles was afterwards Burgess for the Town of Cambridge to serve in that Parl. that began at Westm. 19 May 1685, 1 Jac. 2. He and his brother at the time of their Creation and before, were Sojourners for a time in the Univ. of Oxon.

Aug. 23. Joh. Drope of Magd. Coll.—This person, who was son of Tho. Drope Vicar of Cumnore near Abendon in Berks, was born in the Vicaridge-house there, became Demy of Magd. Coll, an. 1642, aged 16 years or thereabouts, bore arms for the King soon after within the Garrison of Oxon, made true and perpetual Fellow of his Coll. in 1647, and ejected thence in the year following. After∣wards he was made the first Master of the Free-School in Dorchester in Oxfordshire, founded by Sir Joh. Fetiplace, but leaving it soon after he was succeeded therein by Dav. Thomas Usher of Thame School. After his Majesties return he was restored to his Fellow∣ship, studied Physick, and practised it afterwards in a Mercate Town in Lincolnshire called Burrough. He hath written (1) An Hymenae∣an Essay: or, an Epithalamy upon the royal Match of Ch. 2. and Ka∣therine, Infanta of Portugal, 1662. Oxon. 1662. in one sh. and an half in qu. (2) A Poem upon the most hopeful and ever flourishing Sprouts of Valour, the indefatigable Centrys of the Physick Garden in Oxon. Oxon. 1664. on one side of a broad sh. of paper in two Co∣lumes. See more among the Works of Edm. Gayton his jocular friend and companion, p. 271. (3) Poems on several occasions. These I have seen ready written for the Press, and tho commended by several persons, yet they are not printed. He died in the be∣ginning of Octob. 1670, and was buried in the Church at Burrough before mention'd.

Franc. Drope brother to John before mention'd, was created the same day, Aug. 23.—I have mention'd him already among the Wri∣ters, p. 357.

Aug. 23. James Metford of C. C. Coll.—He was the son of Joh. Metford of Crookhorne in Somersetshire, was elected Scholar of the said Coll, from that of Merton, in Jan. 1647, ejected soon after thence by the Parliamentarian Visitors, but being restored in 1660, was, after he had been created M. of A, made Fellow of his house. Afterwards, by the presentation of the President and Society there∣of, he became Rector of Bassingham in Lincolnshire, (where he now lives) and in Aug. 1687 he became Preb. of Bole in the Ch. of York (by the resignation of Rob. Powell. He hath published A gene∣ral discourse of Simony. Lond. 1682. oct, having been put upon the writing of it by Dr. Mich. Honywood Dean of Linc, who was pleased to inform the author with some resentment, of the too great pro∣gress of it in the Nation, bewailing the fatal consequence of it in the Church, and commanding him to say something (if possible) to stop its growth.

Will. Fulman of C. C. Coll. was created the same day.—I have at large made mention of him among the Writers, under the year 1688. p. 624.

Philip Fell of Trin. Coll. was created also the same day.—This person, tho he was no sufferer for the Kings Cause, or ever took the degree of B. of A, as having before left his Coll. abruptly, up∣on no good account, yet by the favour and interest of his elder Brother Dr. Joh. Fell he was not only created M. of A, but also sped Fellow of Alls. Coll, had the degree of Bach. of Div. confer'd upon him without any Exercise for it, as having been nominated by his said brother while he was Vicechancellour, to answer the Do∣ctors in Comitiis when there was no Act, and at length to be Fell. of the Coll. at Eaton. He was always esteemed a most excellent Latin Poet, as his copies of Verses in several books occasionally published in the name of the University, and in others, do mani∣festly

shew. He died at Hereford in the house of Dr. George Bens••n Dean of the Church there (who had married his sister) on the 26 of Febr. 1682, aged 49 or thereabouts: Whereupon his body was conveyed to Worcester and buried in the Cath. Ch. there among the graves of his Mothers relations.

• Sept. 20. Joh. Speed of S. Joh. Coll.
• 28. Dennis Greenvill of Exet. Coll.

The last, who had been no Sufferer for the Kings Cause, nor ejected his Coll, because entred therein after the Parl. Visitors had turn'd all the Royalists out thence, was created by the favour of his great Relations, and at length by their endeavours he became Dean of Durham. He hath published several things, and therefore he is hereafter to be remembred. See among the created Doct. of Div. 1670.

Nov. 29. George Brereton of Qu. Coll, a younger son of Will. Lord Brereton.—This person, who had been no Surferer or was expel'd, was not only created among the Sufferers, but also made soon af∣ter Fellow of Alls. Coll; which place he being in a manner forced to leave, was by the favour of Dr. Cosin made Prebendary of Dur∣ham. He died in the beginning of March 1672.

• Dec. 15. Clem. Couteur a Jersey man born. of Ch. Ch.

• Jan. 14. Dav. Whitford of Ch. Ch.
• Jan. 14. Will. Godolphin of Ch. Ch.

The last, which had not any way suffer'd, I shall ment••on here∣after.

Feb. 14. Henry Hyde eldest son of Edward Lord Hyde of Hindon Chanc. of this Univ. (afterwards Earl of Clarendon) was diploma∣ted M. of A.—This Henry, who was afterwards Lord Cornbury, and after his fathers death Earl of Clarendon, became L. Chamber∣lain to Q. Catherine, in which office I find him in 1665, was sworn of his Majesties most honorable Privy Council and took his place at the board, 26 May 1680. In the middle of Febr. 1684, he was made Lord Privy Seal in the place of George Marquess of Hallifax made L. President of the Privy Council, and about the beginning of Dec. 1685 (K. James 2. being then in the throne) he was con∣stituted Lord Lieutenant of Ireland: which honorable office he keeping a full year, was recalled, and soon after the Privy Seal was taken from him, as being a person that answer'd not that Kings expectation, &c. About the time of his recalment, he was elected High Steward of this University, and after K. Will. 3. came to the Crown, he suffered in several respects, (without offence let it be spoken) because he was a Non-juror. He is a true son of the Ch. of Engl, a lover of the regular Clergy, &c.

Laurence Hyde younger Brother to Henry before mentioned was also diplomated M. of A. the same day.—In Apr. 1661 he was elected one of the Burgesses for this University to serve in that Parl. which began at Westm. 8 of May the same year, and on the 30 of Oct. following, he with Will. Lord Croft and Sir Charles Berkley Groom of the Stole and Gent, of the Bedchamber to James Duke of York, began their Journey for France, the two former being sent by his Majesty, and the latter by the said Duke, to the K. of France, to congratulate the happy birth of the Dauphine, of whom the Qu. was delivered Nov. 1. stilo novo. About that time he the said Laurence Hyde was made, by the endeavours of his father, Master of the Robes to his Majesty, and in 1676 or thereabouts was sent Embassador to Poland. In Oct. 1679 he was elected one of the Burgesses for Wotton Basset in his own Country of Wilts, to serve in that Parl. which was to begin on the 17 of the said month, and on the 19 of Nov. following he became the first Commissioner of the Treasury, (being the second of the four that were by his Majesty appointed on the 26 of March going before, upon the removal of Tho. Earl of Danby from the office of Lord Treasurer) and being then sworn a Privy Counsellor, he took his place accordingly at the Board. This was done when his Majesty on the same day was pleased to declare in Council that he had given leave to Arthur Earl of Essex to resign his place of first Commissioner of the said Trea∣sury, and that he intended his Lordship should continue of his Privy Council. In the month of Apr. 1681 his Maj. was pleased, in con∣sideration of his faithful Services in that Office, and other Employ∣ments of eminent trust, to create him Viscount Hyde of Kenilworth in Warwickshire and Baron of Wotton Basset in Wilts, and soon after upon the death of Charles the young E. of Rochester, to make him an Earl by the title of Earl of that City in Nov. (or thereabouts) 1682. On the 24 of Aug. 1684, his Maj being then at Windsore, did declare in Council the said Earl of Rochester Lord President of his Council in the place of John Earl of Radnor, whom his Majesty had given, in consideration of his great age; leave to retire: Wnereupon Sid∣ney Godolphin, Secretary of State, was made first Commissioner of the Treasury in his place, and Charles Earl of Middleton in Scotland Secretary in Godolphin's place. In Feb. following, K. Jam. 2, who was then newly proclaimed King, did constitute him L. High Trea∣surer of England, and on the 16 of the said month his Majesty gave him the White Staff. On the 29 of June 1685 he was elected Kr. Companion of the most noble Order of the Garter, and was then invested with the George and Garter, having been first Knighted by the Soveraign, and on the 22 of July following he was installed in the Royal Chappel of S. George at Windsore; at which time were also installed Henry Duke of N••rfolk Earl Marshal of England, and H••nry Earl of Peterborough Groom of the Stole to his Majesty. In the beginning of Jan. 1686 he was discharged of his place of Lord Treasurer, and soon after John Lord Bellasyse, Sidney Lord Godol∣phin, Henry Lord Dover, Sir John Ernle Chanc. of the Exchecquer, and Sir Steph. Fox were constituted Commissioners for executing the said Office. On the first of March 1691 he was, with Richard Earl of Ranelagh, Charles Lord Cornwallis and Sir Edw. Seymour Bt, sworn of their Majesties hon. Privy Council, &c.

• Aug. 7. Will Cole of Gloc. Hall.
• Aug. 7. Will. Hawkins of Pemb. Coll.

The first of these two hath published several things of his faculty, and therefore hereafter he is to be remembred among the Writers. The other had practised Phys. 20 years before this time, but whe∣ther he hath published any thing I cannot tell.

Bach. of Div.

Eighteen were created, of whom were these.

Aug. 2. Thom. Smith M. of A. of Qu. Coll.—He is now B. of Carlile.

7. Henr. Pigot of Linc. Coll.—This person, who was a Stafford∣shire man born, was afterwards Minister of Rochdale in Lancashire, and published A Sermon preached at the Assizes at Lancaster, 19 Mar. 1675. Lond. 1676. qu.

Aug. 2. Will. Fuller sometimes of S. Edm. Hall.—He was after∣wards B. of Limerick and at length of Linc.

7. Will. Parsons of New Coll.—He had been a great Sufferer by the Presbyterians, and had been kept in Jayl at Cambridge 19 weeks for his Loyalty to K. Ch. 1. during the Rebellion. Afterwards re∣tiring to his small Living at Birchanger in Essex, did usually read the Common Prayer there in the times of Usurpation, and there∣fore beloved of the loyal Gentry in those parts. After his Majesties restauration he became Prebendary of Chichester, Rector of Lam∣bourne and Vicar of Great Dunmow in Essex. At the last of which places he dying of an Apoplexy, was buried there on the eleventh of July 1671, aged 72 years. This person, tho said in the Register to be actually created Doct. of the Civil Law, yet in the Letters of the Chanc. of the University written in his behalf, it is said that when he was Subwarden of New Coll. and Bachelaur of Law, he read his Lectures for Doctorship according to the Statutes, an. 1635.

Joh. Lowen of Ch. Ch. who had been ejected thence for his Loy∣alty by the Parl. Visitors in 1648, was actually created the same day, Aug. 7.—He was afterwards of Doctors Commons, and usually lived at Rainham in Essex, where, I think he died, in the latter end of 1677.

Dec. 6. Pet. Mews of S. Johns Coll.

Feb. 16. Leolin Jenkyns of Jesus Coll.—This person, who was the son of a father of both his names living at Llanblethian in Gla∣morganshire, was born at Llanthrished in the same County, and at 16 years of age in 1641 he became a Student in Jesus Coll, but the Troubles in the Nation soon after following, he retired to his own Country, and afterwards became a Tutor to several Welsh Gentlemen of Quality in the house of Joh. Aubrey at Llantrithied in Glamorganshire Esq, which was then left void by Sequestration; where continuing from 1648 to 1651, he removed with his charge to Oxon, and there sojourned in an house opposite to Ʋniv. Coll, then possess'd by Sampson White a Mercer, afterwards Mayor of the City and a Knight, where he educated them, as in Glamorganshire before, according to the way of the Church of England. In 1655 they were dispersed, because they were obnoxious to the then schis∣matical Members of the University, and forthwith travelled be∣yond the seas for 2 or 3 years. After Mr. Jenkyns his return, and delivery up of his Pupils to their respective Parents and Relations, he was invited by the most loyal Sir Will. Whitmore of Apley in Shropshire to live with him, an. 1658, the most ingenious Rob. Wa∣ring whom he had for some years kept in his Family being then dead; where continuing till his Majesties restauration in 1660, he then returned to Jesus Coll, of which he was first made Fellow, and soon after upon the resignation of Dr. Fr. Mansell, Principal, and Dr. of the Civ. Law, as before 'tis told you. Afterwards he retired to London, and in the time of the Dutch War he executed the of∣fice of Judge of the Admiralty for Dr. Joh. Exton, which he mana∣ged with great dexterity and prudence, and at length was Judge in his own right, and when Dr. Will. Merick died, which hapned, as it seems, in Jan. 1668, he became Judge of the Prerogative. In Nov. 1669 he was sent by his Majesty to the K. of France to claim the Jewels of Henrietta Maria the Qu. Mother of England, then lately dead there, and after his return he received the honour of Knighthood from his Majesty on the seventh of January the same year. About which time he was a Recruiter (for Hyeth one of the Cinque-Ports) in that Parl. that began at Westminster 8 May 1661, wherein, as his Enemies (*) 1.45 say, (who tell (†) 1.46 us that he was the son of a Taylour, and indefatigably industrious in promoting a peace for France, which has been our ....) he affirmed, That upon necessity the King might raise monies without Act of Parliament. In the beginning of the year 1673 he resigned his Principality of Jes. Coll. being then about to go to Colen in Germany with Henry Earl of Ar∣lington and Sir Joseph Williamson in the quality of Plenipotentiaries from his Maj. of Great Britaine to mediate for a Peace between the Emperour and K. of France. Afterwards (being returned thence) Sir Leolin was sent in the same quality by his Maj. to Neomagin in Dec. 1675, and in 1677 when Dr. Sheldon Archb. of Canterb. di••d, all the report then was, that he was to succeed him in that See, be∣ing

then esteemed eminent for his profession, for his great Loyalty to his Prince, love and care of the Church of England and its orthodox Clergy. In Aug. 1679 he was elected one of the Burgesses of this University to sit in that Parl. which was to meet at Westm. on the 17 of Octob. following, and on the eleventh of Feb. following that, he was sworn one of his Majesties Privy Council, being then ap∣pointed to succeed Mr. Hen. Coventry in the place of Secretary of State. On the 26 Apr. 1680 he was sworn Secretary, and received the Seals which the said Mr. Coventry then delivered up to his Maj. and in the beginning of Feb. following he was chose Burgess again by the Members of this Univ. to serve in that Parl. which was to begin at Oxon on the 21 of March the same year. But so it was that the Faction being then very high in their Proceedings and De∣signs, which they carried on under pretence of prosecuting the Po∣pish Plot, Sir Leolin was so much oppressed with business, and the more because his brother Secretary did not understand it, that his body was in short time after so much broken, (followed with great and dangerous indispositions) that he with leave obtained from his Maj. did at length on the 14 of Apr. 1684 deliver up the Seals of his Office to his Majesty. Whereupon giving a farewell to all secu∣lar Employment, he retired to a House at Hamersmith near London which he had hired, and there spent the remainder of his days. In the middle of March 1684 (K. Jam. 2. being then in the throne) he was elected Burgess again by the Members of this University, to sit in that Parl. which began at Westm. on the 19 of May 1685, but his body being then exceedingly out of order, he did not sit. He died on the first of Sept. 1685 aged 62 years; whereupon his body being embalmed, it was conveyed from Hammersmith towards Oxon, be∣ing then attended by some of his friends and domestick servants. When it came near the City, several Doctors and principal Mem∣bers of the University, as also the Mayor, Aldermen and Citizens, some in Coaches and others on Horseback met it, on the 15 of the same month, and being conducted to the public Schools, the Vice∣chanc, Bish. of the Diocese, and whole body of the University re∣ceived and placed it in the Divinity School which was fitted for that purpose. On Thursday the 17 day, the Vicechancellour, Bishops, together with the Noblemen, Doctors, Proctors and Masters met there in the said School in their formalities; and the memory of the deceased being solemniz'd in a Latin Speech by the University Ora∣tor, the Corps was removed to the Chappel of Jesus Coll, where the Vicechanc. Principal thereof, read the Offices of Burial, and a Latin Speech was also spoken by one of the Fellows, which was accompanied with Musick and Anthems suitable to the occasion. He was a great Benefactor to the new Buildings in the Quadran∣gle on the West side of the Refectory of the said Coll. in his life time, and when he died he gave to the said Coll. 700 l. per an. and the advowson of two Churches. There is a fair mon. over his grave in that Chappel with a large inscription thereon, the contents whereof shall now for brevity sake be omitted, while I tell you that under his name are printed Several Debates in the House of Commons at the Parl. held at Westm. 21 of Oct. 1680. Printed in a book intit. An exact Collection of the most considerable Debates in the honorable H. of Com. at the Parl. held at Westm. 21 Oct. 1680. &c. Lond. 1681. oct. As also A Letter to K. James 2, to perswade him to em∣brace the Protestant Religion, printed with Dr. Sam. Parkers Discourse on the same subject.

Jan. 16. Henr. Brunsell M. A. of Magd. Hall.—He had before been admitted to practise Physick, but after his Majesties restaura∣tion, laying aside that faculty, he betook himself to Divinity and became Rector of Chaworth in Nottinghamshire, Prebendary of Ely and of Southwell. I shall make mention of his brother Sam. Brunsell among the created Doctors of Div. this year.

Mar. 9. Henr. Ailworth of New Coll.—He was about this time Chanc. of the Dioc. of Oxon, which Office he now enjoyeth.

Doct. of Phys.

Aug. 2. John Clerk of Trin. Coll.—I have mention'd another Joh. Clerk Dr. of Phys. of Padua among the Incorporations an. 1653. Which of these two was afterwards honorary Fellow of the Coll. of Phys. I know not.

Will. Durston of Magd. Coll. was created the same day by vertue of the Letters of the Chancellour of the University which say, that he appeared in Comitiis and performed his exercises for the degree of Dr. of Phys. in Ʋniv. of Dubl, and that from the beginning of the late unhappy wars (and more particularly in the City of Oxon when it was a Garrison) he faithfully served his Majesty, and afterwards for his loyalty was ejected out of Magd. Coll. for not submitting to the then Vi∣sitation. (1648)

Aug. 2. Thom. Wren second Son of Matthew B. of Ely and some∣times a Student of Cambridge was created by vertue of the Chan∣cellours Letters, which say that by force of the late unhappy times he was constrained to leave the Ʋniversity of Cambridge (in divers Col∣leges whereof his Father was Visitor) and for his proficiency in studies he was fain to settle himself in the verg of the Ʋnivers. of Oxon, that the pressures under which his Father lay for 17 years together, were such, that he could not (his estate being taken away) allow his Children bread, much less supply their expences for living in Colleges, and the taking of their degrees, only to have the benefit of the publick Library, &c. This person, who was much addicted to Musick while he studied in Oxon, which was about 8 years, was made Archdeacon of Ely by his Father after his Majesties restauration, had other spiritualities, as I conceive, confer'd upon him and became a member of the Royal Society. He died in 1679, being then of Wil∣berton in the Isle of Ely, and whether he was Doctor of the Laws at Cambridge I cannot tell.

• Aug. 7. Daubigney Tarbervill of Oriel Coll.
• Aug. 7. Degorie Pollwhele of Exet. Coll.

The first, who afterwards practised Phys. in the City of Salisbury, was created by vertue of the Chancellours Letters, the other who had been ejected his Fellowship of Exeter Coll. by the Parliament Visitors in 1648, was also created by vertue of the said Letters which say that he the said D. Pollwhele had from the beginning of the late unhappy troubles vigorously and faithfully served his Majesty under the command of Ralph Lord Hopton, then of Sir Jam. Smith in the quality of a Major of Horse, and continued in Armes until the surrender of Pendennis Castle, from whence he went to his late Majesty of blessed memory, and afterwards followed his now Majesty for some time in Holland and Flanders: And in or about the year 1650 he returned in∣to Cornwall, his native Country, where he betook himself to the study and practice of Physick, &c.

Ch.—He was created by vertue of the Kings Letters which say—We have received good testimony of his abilities in the Theorie and practice of Physick—He hath been former∣ly a Graduate in Oxon, and hath studied in Foreign Countries, &c. This person, who was Son of John Jacob a Physitian of Canterbury, was bred in Ch. Ch, afterwards practised his faculty with good suc∣cess for many years in the said City, and was, if I mistake not, a Burgess to serve in one of the Parliaments that began after the dis∣covery of the Popish Plot.

Oct. 17. Edw. Hawtaine M. A. of Magd. Coll.

30. John Lamphire M. A. of New Coll. and Camdens Professor of History—This person, who was Son of George Lamphire an Apo∣thecary of the City of Winchester, was born in the Parish of S.

Visitors, and af∣terwards practised his faculty with good success in and near Oxford. After his Majesties return he was restored to his Fellowship, became Camdens Professor of History upon the ejection of Lewis du Moulin, Principal of New Inn in the place of Dr. Rogers ejected for Non∣conformity and soon after Principal of Hart Hall. He hath pub∣lished of other mens works, with Epistles before, corrections on, and sometimes additions to, them, these following (1) Phrases Ele∣gantiores ex Caesaris commentariis, &c. and Dictata. Both written by Hugh Lloyd. See in the first Vol. of the Athenae Oxon. p. 269. (2) Monarchia Britannica, &c, Written by Tho. Master. See in this sec. Vol. of Athenae. pag. 19. (3) Rev. Patris Lanc. Andrews Episcopi Winton. preces privatae Graecè & Latinè. Oxon. 1675 in tw. After∣wards Dr. Lamphire obtained a more perfect copy of the said pray∣ers, which he was about to publish, but hindred by other affairs. (4) Oratio coram Reg. Elizab. Oxoniae habita, 1592. 'Tis the ora∣tion of Sir Hen. Savile, and 'twas published by Dr. Lamphire with the sec. edit. of Monarchia Britannica. See in the first Vol. of Ath. Oxon. p. 397. (5) Questiones selectiores in Logica, Ethica, &c. See in Dr. Pink among the Writers of this Vol. p. 58. This Dr. Lamphire, who was Justice of the Peace for the County and City of Oxon, a good, generous and fatherly man, of a publick Spirit, and free from pharasaical leven, or the modish hypocrisie of the age he lived in, died in his Lodgings in Hart Hall on the 30 of March 1688, aged 73 years, and was buried in the outer Chappel, near the W. door, belonging to New Coll. The next day Will. Thornton M. A. of Wadh. Coll. was admitted Principal of the said Hall in his place, and on the 2. of Apr. following the learned Hen. Dodwell M. of A. of Dublin was elected Camdens Professor of History to the great content of the generality of the members of the University.

Oct. 30. Thom Willis of Ch. Ch.

Nov. 29. Rich. Franklin of Qu Coll.—He was put in among the rest, tho no sufferer for the royal cause.

After∣wards he went Physitian with the Lord Rutherford lately made Earl of Tiveot in Scotland to the Garrison of Tangier in the Kingdom of Fezz in Africa, and practised his faculty there with good success. At length he accompanying the said Count with a select party of horse out of that Garrison to view the Moors Country, on the 3. of May 1664, were all, some very few excepted, cut off, (after they had passed the Jews River some Miles distant from Tangier) by Gay∣land the chief of the Moors and his party; who having had notice, by the treachery of a certain person, that they would take a view of the Country, there was an Ambuscade planted to receive them by Gayland, and sheltred by a thick wood, and seconded, as 'twas supposed, by his whole Army.

March 12. Joh. Fisher M. A. of Cambridge.

Steph. Bowden of Magd. Coll. was nominated by the Chancellors Letters dat. 1. Dec. this year to be created Doct. of Physick, but whether he was so it appears not.

Aug. 1. Nich. Monke sometimes of Wadh. Coll, now Provost of Eaton, Brother to Gen. George Monke Duke of Albemarle (at this time in high value by the King, Church, University and all British People) was presented by Dr. Rob. Sanderson the Kings Professor of Div. to the degree of Doct. of that faculty, and actually created by the Vicechancellour in Convocation by vertue of the Kings Letters, which say that we are well satisfied of the full standing, sufficiency and merit of Nich, Monke M. of A, as duly qualified for the degree of D.

of D, and also well assured of his particular and eminent sufferings and service for our self and the Church during the late distra∣ctions, &c.

These persons following, till you come to Byrom Eaton, were actually created Doctors on the second day of Aug, tho several of them had not suffered for the Kings cause.

Hales, some years before dead, and had two good rectories be∣stowed on him in Wilts. He died on the 16 of Jan. 1663 and was buried in the Chappel of S.

This Dr. Lloyd died on the 9 of April 1671, and thereupon his Canonry was bestowed on Joh. Saumares M. A. of Pemb. Coll, and Dean of Guernsey. One Joh. Lloyd wrot A Treatise of Episcopacy, Liturgies, and Ecclesiastical Ceremonies. Pr. in 1660. qu. but whence he was I cannot yet tell: And Joh. Lloyd D. D. was of Hombleston in Kent, and died about the beginning of the year 1679.

Joseph Crowther Bach. of Div. of S. Johns Coll, and Chaplain to James Duke of York—He was about this time Chantor and Preb. of S. Pauls Cathedral and Rector of the rich Church of Tre∣dington in the diocese of Worcester. On the 7. of March 1661 he was installed Preb. of Worcester in the place of Dr. Herbert Croft promoted to the See of Hereford, and on the 26. of Dec. 1664 he was admitted Principal of S. Maries Hall. In his last days he was committed Prisoner to the Prison call'd the Fleet in London by the endeavours of Sir Tho. Draper, because he refused to renew a Corps belonging to S. Pauls Cath. then in the possession of Sir Thomas; which the Doctor intended to wear out for the benefit of the said Cathedral. He died in the Fleet on the 16 of Dec. 1689, and was buried in S. Pauls Cathedral. Whereupon his Chantorship was be∣stowed on Dr. Tho. Turner President of C. C. Coll, his Preb. of Worc. on Jonathan Blagrave of Magd. Hall, Sub-Almoner to the Queen, his rectory of Tredington on Tho. Kerry of Ch. Ch. and his principa∣lity on Will. Wyat M. A. of the same House.

George Benson M. A. of Qu. Coll, and about this time Archdea∣con of Hereford—On the 16. of June 1671 he was installed Preb. of Worcester in the place of Dr. Will. Dowdeswell deceased, and in the year following he became Dean of Hereford on the death of Tho. Hodges.

He afterwards wrot himself Joh. Lee alias Warner, because he was heir to the said Bishop, hath published one or more Sermons, which I have not yet seen, and dying about the beginning of June 1679 (at which time he left behind him a Son named Hen. Lee Esq.) was succeeded in his Archdeaconry by Thom. Plume D. of D. of Cambr, installed therein on the 10 of the said month and in the same year.

• Rob. Say M. A. Provost of Oriel Coll.

The first of these five dying on the 16 of June 1675, was suc∣ceeded in his Wardenship by Joh. Nicholas M. A. and Fellow of Wykehams Coll. near Winchester. The second was afterwards B. of Linc, and was succeeded in his Provostship by Tim. Halton D. D. The third dying on the 24 of Oct. 1691, was succeeded in his Pro∣vostship by George Royse D. D. The fourth was afterwards succes∣sively B. of Oxon and Worcester, and was succeeded ih his Warden∣ship by Gilbert Ironside Bach. of Div; and the last dying on the 22 of Apr. 1681, was succeeded in his principality by Joh. Meare M. A. But this the Reader is to know, that tho all five were created, as Loyalists, yet none of them suffered for their Loyalty in the times of Rebellion and Usurpation, only the last.

Rob. Davenant of S. Johns Coll, Bach. of Div. of 28 years stand∣ing, and now Preb. elect of Salisbury, as 'tis said in the publick register—He was Brother to Sir Will. D'avenant the Poet.

Ch. 1▪ at Ch. Ch. in the time of the rebellion. Afterwards, upon the death of that King, he suffer'd, as all Divines that adhered to him did, but upon his Sons restauration, he became Chaplain in Ord. to him, was created Doctor, as before 'tis said, made Preb. of Glocest. and Rector of a Church near Stow on the Wold in Glocestershire. He hath written and published, (1) King Davids Sanctuary, Sermon before his Majesty at Ch. Ch. on Psal. 73.25. Oxon. 1644. qu. (2) The Royal Subjects retiring-room, Serm. at S. Maries 13.

Washbourne M. A. and Fellow of Oriel Coll.

Rich. Hyde M. A. of S. Edm. Hall—He was sometimes a Chap∣lain in the Kings Army, was now Preb. of Warmister in the Church of Salisbury, afterwards Sub-dean of the said Church by the resignation of Dr. Alex. Hyde, in the beginning of Aug. 1661, and at length Preb. of Winchester.

• Rich. Owen B. D. of Oriel Coll.
• Tho. Good B. D. of Ball. Coll.

• Thomas Powell M. A. of Jes. Coll.
• Will. Thomas M. A. of Jes. Coll.

The first of these two had performed his exercise for Bach. of Div. 20 years before this time. The other was created by vertue of the Chancellours Letters which say thus of him—I have heard of the great worth and deserts of him, as well in respect of his learning and orthodox judgment, as of his most exemplary life and conversation—who for divers years together hath lived in S. Wales, &c. He was af∣terwards B. of St. Dav. and Worc. successively.

These four last Doctors I have mention'd at large among the Writers in their respective places.

Byrom Eaton of Brasn. Coll.—He was soon after Principal of Gloc. Hall, and when Dr. Barlow became Bish. of Linc. he gave him first the Archdeaconry of Stow, and afterwards that of Leyce∣ster, in which last he was installed 8. Sept. 1683.

All the said Doctors before mention'd from Guy Carleton to Byr. Eaton were created on the 2. of Aug.

At the same time were letters from the Chancellor read for George Jay of Ch. Ch. to be created D. of D, but being not present, he was to be admitted when he made his appearance. The said Let∣ters speak thus of him—He continued a Student of Ch. Ch. for the space of 20 years and upwards, and in the year 1614 he proceeded M. of A, and was first made Grammar Reader, then Terrae filius at the publick Act, and afterwards was made Chaplain to the Earl of Anglesie and after to the Duke of Bucks, and then to Dr. White B. of Ely lately deceased. And now his Majesty taking special notice of Mr. Jayes worth and abilities, as also of his services done to him, and his sufferings for him, hath been graciously pleased, without any pri∣vity or seeking of his own, to give unto him an eminent preferment in the Church—By reason of the late troubles he was forced beyond the Seas to save his life, &c. This Mr. Jay who was born of gen∣tile parents in Dorsetshire, but not admitted Doctor, hath several Sermons extant, which I have not yet seen.

Aug. 7. Raphael Throckmorton of Ch. Ch. now Archdeacon of Linc. was created by vertue of the Kings Letters, which say that we are well assured of his particular and eminent sufferings for us and the Church, &c. He was installed Archdeacon of Linc. in the place of Morgan Wynne deceased, an. 1645, and dying on the second day of Febr. 1666, was buried in S. Andrews Church in Holbourne near London.

• Aug. 7. Tho. Pierce M. A. of Magd. Coll.
• Aug. 7. Will. Creed B. D. of S. Joh. Coll.

• Aug. 7. Will. Owen of Mert. Coll.
• Aug. 7. Joh. Priaulx of Mert. Coll.

The former of these two last, was Treasurer of the Cathedral Ch. of S. David, afterwards Archdeacon of Cardigan, and died in 1680. The other, who was fourth Son of Peter Priaulx of South∣ampton, and born, and educated in Grammar, there, was admitted Probationer Fellow of the said Coll. of Merton, an. 1635, pro∣ceeded in Arts, and soon after entred into the sacred function. In the time of the rebellion he left the College, sided with the men that were uppermost, became Rector of Fovant in Wilts, and after∣wards Assistant to the Commissioners for the ejecting of such whom the Presbyterians and Independents called ignorant, scandalous and insufficient Ministers and Schoolmasters, an. 1654. After his Ma∣jesties restauration he became Preb. of Netherbury in terra in the Church of Salisbury, D. of D. as before 'tis said, and being then esteem'd an excellent Theologist, the Kings Professorship of Divini∣ty was offer'd to him upon Dr. Sandersons promotion to the See of Linc, but he modestly refusing it, it was confer'd on Dr. William Creed. In May 1671 he became Archdeacon of Salisbury in the place of Joh. Sherman deceased, and dying at Salisbury, on the se∣cond day of June 1674, was buried in the Cathedral Church there; whereupon his Archdeaconry was bestowed on Dr. Thomas Lam∣bert on the 12 day of the said month of June. This Dr. Priaulx hath written Confirmation confirmed, and recommended from Scripture,

antiquity and reason, in a Sermon preached in the Cathedral Ch. of S. Mary in Salisbury, at a solemn confirmation there administred by Humph. B. of Sarum, on Acts 8.17. Lond. 1662 qu.

Aug. 10. Jam. Lamb M. A. of S. Maries Hall.

16: Thomas Washbourne Bac. of Div. of Ball. Coll.—He was created by vertue of the Chancellours Letters, which say that he is a learned, pious and orthodox person.

• 20 Edw. Pocock B. D. Can. of Ch. Ch.
• 20 Rob. Townsend M. A. of New Coll.

• Oct. 3. Rich. Allestry M. A. and Canon of Ch. Ch.
• Oct. 3. Joh. Dolben M. A. and Canon of Ch. Ch.

10. Joh. Arthur a noted Theologist was diplomated by vertue of the Kings Letters written to the University in his behalf and un∣known to him—This Diploma was to pass because Mr. Arthurs great age would not permit him to take a journey to Oxon to be there presented in person. He was Son, if I mistake not, of Laur. Arthur of Springfield in Essex, and had been mostly educated in Eman. Coll. in Cambridge, but ejected from his living at Capham in Surrey for Nonconformity, an. 1662.

17. Mirth Waferer of S. Alb. Hall.

• Oct. 19. Joh. Doughtie B. D. of Mert. Coll. Preb. of Westm.
• Oct. 19. Walter Jones B. D. of Ch. Ch. Preb. of Westm.
• Oct. 19. Rich. Busby M. A. of Ch. Ch. Preb. of Westm.

The last of these is now living in the Coll. at Westminster, and is an author, and therefore he is hereafter to have a place among the Oxford Writers.

30. Rich. Parr of Ex. Coll.

In the month of Octob. were the Kings Letters, dated 27 of Sept, read in behalf of one Herbert Astley to be Doct. of Divinity, but whe∣ther he was admitted it appears not.—He was afterwards Dr. of Law of Cambridge, as it seems, Preb. and at length Dean of Nor∣wich: in which last Dignity he was installed on the second day of Sept. 1670 in the place of Dr. Joh. Croft deceased. This person, who was Son of Herb. Astley, or Ashley rather, of Plymouth in Devonshire, was, upon his accidental coming into N••rfolk, taken into the pa∣tronage of Sir Jac. and Sir Isaac Astley, and by them, who took him to be their kinsman, was prefer'd to several Livings in those parts, and marrying with a Hobart, he was, by the endeavours of that fa∣mily, promoted to the said Deanery. He died in the month of May, as it seems, in 1681 and was inter'd in the Cath Ch. at Nor∣wych near to the monument of Sir Hen. Hobart.

• Nov. 9. Walter Dayrel or Darrell M. A. of Ch. Ch. and Preb. of Winchester.
• Nov. 9. Tho. Lamplugh B. D. of Qu. Coll.
• Nov. 9. Tho. Tully B. D. of Qu. Coll.

The first of these three became Archdeacon of Winchester in the place of Dr. Tho. Gorges, deceased, and dying on the 29 of March 1684, aged 74 years his Archdeaconry was bestowed on Dr. Rob. Sharrock.

19. Thom. Manton of Wadh. Coll. the noted Presbyterian.

29. Thom. Lockey B. D. and Student of Ch. Ch.—He was after∣wards Canon of that House, and dying on the 29 of June 1679 aged 78 years, was buried in the second isle joyning on the north side to the Choire of Ch. Ch. where there is a neat monument over his grave. He was a retired and studious person, had been a great Tutor in his house in the time of Usurpation, a Collector of pictures, coines, medals, &c. All or most of which, with his choice Library, came into the hands of Dr. Hen. Killigrew Preb. of Westminster.

Tho. Hacket M. A. of Trin. Coll. near Dublin was actually created the same day—He was Dean of Cork in Ireland, afterwards Vicar of Cheshunt in Hertfordshire, Chaplain in Ord. to his Majesty, and at length Bishop of Downe. He hath extant A Convocation Sermon at Dublin, on 1. Cor. 14.16, printed 1662 in qu. and A Sermon preached at the Spittle upon Tuesday in Easter week, 1672 printed the same year at Lond. in qu, and perhaps other things.

• Dec. 1. Nich. Cordel of Alls, Fellow of Eaton Coll.
• Dec. 1. Joh. Gough commonly called Goffe M. A. of Magd. Coll.
• Dec. 1. Rich. West M. of A. of Ch. Ch.

The last of these three, who was Son of Thomas West of the an∣tient Borough of Northampton Priest, was elected Student of Ch. Ch. from Westm. School, an. 1632, aged 18 years, took the degrees in Arts, that of Master being completed in 1639, and afterwards suf∣fer'd for the Royal cause. Much about the time of the restauration of K. Ch. 2. he became Rector of Shillingston in Dorsetshire and af∣terwards Preb. of Wells. He hath published, The profitableness of piety, opened in an Assize Sermon preached at Dorchester, 24 of March 167 0/1 before Sir Rich. Rainsford Kt, one of the Judges of the Kings Bench, on 1. Tim. 4. latter part of the 7. and 8 verses. Lond. 1671. qu.

• Dec. 1. Edw. Clerke M. A. of Hart Hall.
• Dec. 1. Edm. Morgan M. A. of Magd. Hall.
• Dec. 1. Edw. Hicks of Oriel Coll.

The last of these three, who was Son of Joh. Hicks Minister of Barrington in Glocestershire, became a Student in the said Coll. of Oriel, in 1639 aged 15 years, left it when the War began without ta∣king the degree of B. of A, sided with the predominant party, re∣turn'd to his house after the War was ended, submitted to the Visi∣tors and then took the degree of Master. Afterwards he became Rector of Hartingfordbury in Hertfordshire, procured by his interest, (as certain other Presbyterians did,) to be created D. D. among the Royallists, and afterwards being ejected from his living for Noncon∣formity, (as a printed Catalogue of the generality of Nonconfor∣mists

in England informs me) did afterwards conform and became Rector of S. Margaret Patens in the City of London. He hath pub∣lished The righteous Judge, Sermon preached at Hertford Assize, 10. March 1681/2 on Gen. 18.25, last part. Lond. 1682. qu. It is dedi∣cated by the author to Sir Nich. Miller Kt, High Sherriff of Hert∣fordshire, by his Epist. dated at Buckland in the same County, 29 of March 1682, of which place he was then, as I suppose Rector. What other things he hath published I know not, nor any thing else of him, only that he died in the latter end of the said year, 1682.

Coll. was created for his several lau∣dable Sermons preached before the King and Parliament while Oxon was a Garrison for his Majesty.—This person, who had been outed of his Chaplainship of Merton Coll. by the Visitors in 1648, suf∣fered afterwards as other Loyallists did, but after his Majesties re∣stauration he became Preb. of Winterbourne Earles in the Church of Salisbury, Preb. of Chichester, and Rector of Clapham in Surrey, at which place he died in Aug. or thereabouts, an. 1675. See more of him in Joh. Gregory, among the Writers p. 50.

John Castillion M. A. of Ch. Ch. and Preb. of Canterbury was created the same day—On the 15 of Nov. 1676 he was installed Dean of Rochester in the place of Dr. Thom. Lamplugh promoted to the See of Exeter, and dying about the latter end of Octob. 1688, his Majesty K. Jam. 2. nominated Mr. Sim. Lowth to succeed him, but he being not then D. D, and not in a possibility to obtain that degree before the said K. left the Nation, K. Will. 3. gave it to one Dr. ... Ʋllock.

January 16. Sam. Brunsell of Magd. Hall.—This person, who was Son of Oliver Brunsell of Wroughton in Dorsetshire, became a Com. of the said Hall 1636 aged 16 years, took one degree in Arts 1641, and then left the University because the rebellion soon after broke out. After his Majesties restauration, if not before, he be∣came Rector of Bingham in Nottinghamshire, and at length Preb. of Southwell, &c. He hath published, Solomons blessed Land, Ser∣mon before an extraordinary assembly at Newark upon Trent, on the 29 May 1660 on Ecclesiast. 10.17. Lond. 1660. qu. and perhaps other things. Quaere.

Jan. 24. Joshua Childrey of Magd. Coll.

Mar. 1. Edw. Cotton M. A. of Ch. Ch. now Archdeacon of Corn∣wall in the place of Dr. Rob. Hall—I have made mention of his Fa∣ther of both his names in the Fasti of the first Vol. p. 813.

James Stermont a Dutch Divine was diplomated the same day, by vertue of the Chancellours Letters, which partly run thus—While his Majesty was in the parts beyond the Sea, he had evidence of the affections of this Mr. James Stermont Minister of the Hague in Holland, who has a great repute for piety and learning with those a∣mong whom he lives: And by the affections he has declared to the Church and Crown of England, deserves the acknowledgment of all who wish well to either, &c. This person being a high Royalist for the cause of the King of England, 'twas frequent with him to have se∣veral passages in his Sermons at the Hague, (esteemed by those that were not lovers of his Majesty, to be extravagancies, invectives and strange digressions) which being looked upon as much tending to the prejudice of peace and the intended treaties between England and Holland, he was forced to recant before the high and mighty States general, an. 1651.

Mar. 12. William Holder of Cambridge—This worthy person, who is a Nottinghamshire man born, was educated in Pemb. Hall there, where he had a Greek Scholars place, commenced M. of A, entred into holy Orders, and in 1642 or thereabouts, he became Rector of Blechingdon in Oxfordshire, and in the year following was incorporated M. of A. in this University, as before I have told you. After his Majesties restauration he became Canon of Ely, Fellow of the Royal Society, Canon of S. Pauls, Subdean of his Majesties Chap∣pel (in the place of Dr. Walt. Jones deceased) and Subalmoner to him. He is a great Virtuoso and a person of many accomplishments, and hath obtained a great name for his most wonderful art in mak∣ing a young Gentleman named Alex. Popham, (Son of Colonel Edw. Popham sometimes an Admiral at Sea for the Long Parliament) who was born deaf and dumb, to speak; and how soon, and by what method he did it, he tells you in an Appendix to his most rare and ingenious discourse of The Elements of speech, which I shall anon mention. This great cure was performed by him (whereby he is the first that is remembred ever to have succeeded therein in Eng∣land, or perhaps in the world) in his house at Blechingdon an. 1659: And because it was a wonderful matter many curious Scholars went from Oxon to see and to hear the person speak, but he being after∣wards call'd home by his friends, he began to lose what he had been taught by Dr. Holder. Afterwards a great noise being made, that Dr. Joh. Wallis had, by his art, made another young Gentleman named Mr. Whalley, who had lost his speech ever since he was five years of age, to speak, the said Mr. Popham was by his Relations sent to the said Dr. Wallis to make him speak, which he effecting, he afterwards, very vainly assumed the glory of it to himself, with∣out taking notice of what had been before done to him. This Dr. Holder hath written The Elements of Speech, an Essay of inquiry into the natural production of Letters; with an Appendix concerning per∣sons that are deaf and dumb. Lond. 1669. oct, as also A supplement to the Philosophical Transactions of July 1670, with some reflections on Dr. Wallis his Letter there inserted. Lond. 1678 in two sh. in qu.

This last was written by him to vindicate himself that he had taught Mr. Popham to speak, which Dr. Wallis in the said Letter did claim to himself. Whereupon, soon after, Dr. Wallis (who, at any time, can make black white, and white black, for his own ends, and hath a ready knack of sophistical evasion, as the writer of these matters doth know full well) did soon after publish an answer to that Sup∣plement entit. A defence of the Royal Society and the Philosophical Transactions, particularly those of July, 1670, in answer to the Cavils of Dr. Will. Holder. Lond. 1678 in 4. sh. in qu, written by way of Letter to Will. L. Visc. Brouncker. Dr. Holder also, who hath good skill in the Theoretick and practick parts of Musick, hath written in English A treatise of Musick, which is ready, as I have heard, for the press.

Mar. 14. Anton. Elcocke M. A. of Brasn. Coll.—He was now Prebend of Donington in, and Subdean of, the Church of, York.

19. Francis Mundy of Ch. Ch. Bach. of Law and publick Actuary—He was Rector of Welford in Berks, Subdean of Wells and Treasu∣rer of Landaff. He died 22. Nov. 1678 aged 65 years, and was buried in the Church of Welford: whereupon his Subdeanery was bestowed on Dr. Will. Levinz of S. Johns Coll. and his Treasurership on Dr. Joh. Lloyd of Jesus Coll.

In the month of July this year Will. Wicherley became a sojour∣ner in Oxon for the sake of the publick Library, and whether he had his lodging and diet in Qu. Coll. I know not.—He was afterwards numbred among the Poets of the first rank by his writing, and pub∣lishing four Comedies, which have been much taken into the hands of all ingenious men.

In the month of Sept. became also a Sojourner in this Univ. for the sake of the said Library Francis Willoughby of Middleton in Warwickshire Esq, a person much celebrated to this day among the Virtuosi of great renown—He was the only Son of Sir Francis Wil∣loughby Kt, descended (a) 1.47 of two very antient families, both Wil∣loughbys, the one honorable, viz. that of Eresby in Lincolnshire, by the Fathers side, the other Worshipful, viz. that of Willoughby on the Woulds in Nottinghamshire, by the Mothers. While he was young his relations discovered in him most excellent gifts and abilities both of body and mind, and therefore nothing was by them spared to pro∣mote and enlarge them, as being also blessed with a fair estate. Howbeit, when he grew elder, as he did duly prize these advan∣tages of birth, estate, and parts, so did he not content himself there∣with or value himself thereby, but laboured after what might ren∣der him more deservedly honourable, and more truly to be called his own, as being obtained by the concurrence at least of his endea∣vours. First then as God had given him a quick apprehension, pier∣cing wit and sound judgment; so by his great industry and con∣stant use of these gifts he did highly improve and advance them. He was from his childhood addicted to study, and ever after when he came to the use of reason so great a husband of his time, that he did not willingly lose or let slip unoccupied the least fragment of it, de∣testing no vice more than idleness, which he looked upon as the Parent and Nurse of almost all others: Nay, so excessive was he in the prosecution of his studies without any intermission or diversion that most of his friends were of opinion he did much weaken his body and impair his health by his uncessant labours and perpetual intention of mind upon business. Whence it came to pass that he obtained very great skill in all parts of learning, and particularly a deep insight into those sciences which are most abstruse and imper∣vious to vulgar capacities; I mean the most subtil parts of the Ma∣thematicks. Of his skill in natural Philosophy, chiefly the History of Animals (Birds, Beasts, Fishes and Insects) I shall say no more at present, but that it hath not been my hap to meet with any man either in England or beyond the Seas of so general and comprehen∣sive knowledg therein. To pass by his eminent virtues, as his hu∣mility, sobriety and temperance, exemplary chastity and purity, his justness, constancy, charity, &c. I shall give you the Catalogue of of his works, viz. (1) Ornithologiae libri tres: in quibus Aves omnes hactenus cognitae in methodum naturis suis convenientem redactae accu∣rate describuntur, descriptiones iconibus elegantissimis, & vivarum Avium simillimis, aeri incisis illustrantur. Lond. 1676. fol. View'd, corrected and digested into Order by Joh. Ray Fellow of the Royal Society. Afterwards it was translated into English, with an Appen∣dix added to it by the said Mr. Ray—Lond. 1678. fol. The author Mr. Willoughby observing in the busie and inquisitive age he lived in the Hist. of the Animals alone to have been in a great measure neg∣lected by English men, he made the study thereof his province, ap∣plying himself with all diligence to the cultivating and illustrating of it. Which that he might the more effectually do, he not only read what had been written by others, but did himself accurately describe all the Animals he could find and procure either in England or beyond the Seas, making a voyage into foreign Countries, chiefly for that purpose, to search out, view and describe the several species of nature; and tho he was not long abroad, yet travelled he over a great part of France, Spain, Italy, Germany and the Low Coun∣tries. In all which places he was so inquisitive and successful, that not many sorts of Animals, described by others, escaped his dili∣gence. He drew them out or describ'd them with a pencil, which are with great curiosity engraven on copper plates, at the charge of his Relict Emm, and are printed in the Lat. and Engl. edition of the said Ornithologia. He hath also written (2) Historiae piscium libri quatuor, &c. Oxon. 1686. fol. Which work was with great pains, view'd, review'd, made fit for use, and the two first books entire∣ly compleated by the said most eminent Virtuoso Mr. Ray. It is

adorned with very many cuts of several sorts of Fishies, that were not ever before known in England. (3) Letter containing some con∣siderable observations about that kind of wasps called Ichneumones, &c.—dat. 24. Aug. 1671. See in the Philos. Transact. num. 76. p. 2279. (4) Letter about the hatching a kind of Bee lodged in old Willows—dat. 10. July 1671. See in the said Transact. num. 74. p. 2221. At length this most worthy and learned person Mr. Willough∣by dying to the great reluctancy of all curious and inquisitive per∣sons, especially those of the Royal Society, (of which he was an eminent member and ornament) to his friends and all good men that knew him, and the great loss of the Commonwealth of learning, on the third day or July 1672 aged 37 years, was buried, as I presume, at Middleton among the graves of his Ancestors.

In 1665 he was the Repeater or Repetitioner in S. Maries Church on Low Sunday, of the four Easter Sermons, which being admirably well performed, all to a word memoriter, without any hesitation, he obtained a great esteem among the Academians; and in the same year he became Rector of Somerton in the Dioc. of Oxon, and not long after Vicar of S. Nicholas Church in the Borough of Warwick, where he now lives. He hath published, A Sermon preached at the Assizes held in Warwick 19 March 1682, on 2. Cor. 19.6.

Sept. 9. Rob. Wishart M. of A. of S. Andrew in Scotland—He was Son of the learned and famous George Wishart D. D, of whom the Reader may be pleased to know that he was a Scotch man born and a Minister in the Church of S. Andrew in the same University, that he had suffered in the time of the Covenant a long and tedious imprisonment in the nastiest part of the Tolbooth at Edinburgh called the Thiefs hole, and afterwards did accompany the most victorious and noble James Marquess of Montross in his conquest of Scotland: But upon the much lamented declension of that immortal person,

he became Chaplain to the Sister of K. Ch. 1. called the Queen of Bohemia, and, about the time of his Majesties restauration, a Mi∣nister in Newcastle upon Tyne, where he was held in great venera∣tion for his unspotted Loyalty. In 1662, Jun. 1, he was conse∣crated at S. Andrews Bishop of Edinburgh, with Dr. Dav.

John Lovelace of Wadh. Coll. eldest son of John Lovelace.—He was after the death of his father Lord Lovelace, but obtaining no great matter during the reigns of K. Ch. 2. and K. Jam. 2, which he expected, because his father had been a great sufferer for the cause of K. Ch. 1, he was by the favour of K. Will. 3.

Earl of Clar.—This person, who was the eldest son of Dr. Matthew Wren Bish. of Ely, was originally a Student in Cambridge, and afterwards a Student for several years (in the time of Usurpation) in this Uni∣versity, not in a Coll. or Hall, but in a private House. After his Majesties restauration he was taken into the service of the Earl of

Clarendon, was elected a Burgess for S. Michael in Cornwal to serve in that Parl. that began at Westm. 8 May 1661, became a Mem∣ber of the Royal Society and of the Council thereof, and after the fall of the said Clarendon, he became Secretary to James Duke of York, and continued in his service to the time of his death. At length giving way to fate on the 14 of June or thereabouts, an. 1672, aged about 42 years, his body was conveyed to Cambridge, and there buried in Pemb.

St. George to the office of Garter, in the place of the said Sir William deceased) in the beginning of March 1685; about which time he received the honour of Knighthood from his Maje∣sty. This Sir Joh. Dugdale hath published A Catalogue of the No∣bility of England, according to their respective precedencies, as it was presented to his Majesty on New-years day an. 1684. To which is added The Blazon of their paternal Coates of Arms, and a List of the present Bishops, by permission of the Duke of Norfolk Earl Marshal.

• Sept. 12. Will. Wyatt of S. Joh. Coll.
• Sept. 12. Will. Bell of S. Joh. Coll.
• Sept. 12. Rich. Samwaies of C. C. Coll.

As for Wyatt who was born at Todenham in Glocestershire was not graduated in Arts, because before the time came when he should take the degree of Bach, the Civil War began. Afterwards he was Assistant to Dr. Jer. Taylor when he taught School in Caermerthen∣shire, and wrot, as 'twas usually said, (which he himself did also acknowledge) A new and easie institution of Grammar, &c. which was published under Dr. Taylor's name. See more in the life of the said Doctor among the Writers, p. 285. Afterwards Mr. Wyatt taught at Evesham in Worcestershire, and at length assisted Mr. Will. Fuller while he taught a private School at Twittenham in Middlesex. Afterwards when that person became Bishop of Linc, he made him not only his Chapl, but also Preb. and afterwards Chantor of the Church there. Which Dignities he resigning in 1681, he retired to Nun-Eaton in Warwickshire, where he died in the house of Sir Ric. Newdigate, about 1686. What other things the said Mr. Wyatt, hath written I cannot tell.

He is a most eminent Mathe∣matician, and is hereafter to be mention'd with all honour for his curious discoveries in Philosophy and Mathematicks, as they stand recorded by the excellent pen of the ingenious author (Dr. Thomas Sprat) of The Hist. of the Royal Society, &c.

Nov. 6. Rich. Baylie of S. Joh. Coll.—He was son of Dr. Rich. Baylie President of that Coll, and dying at London, (where he was a Merchant) in the latter end of 1675, his body was conveyed to Oxon, and buried in a Vault under a little Chappel (built by the

said Doctor an. 1662) joyning to that of S. Joh. Coll, on the 15 of March the same year.

Doct. of Phys.

May 9. Will. Jackson of Ʋniv. Coll, was created by vertue of the Kings Letters, which tell us that his father was Doct. of Div. and sequestred in the late Rebellion from about 300 l. per an: Also that this William was in the old Kings Service at Colchester, and in the Ser∣vice of this King; That his near Kinsman Col. Rob. Levinz suffered and was executed by the bloody Rebels, &c.

These were created while the Chanc. of the University was near Oxon. Metford and Sagittary were afterwards honorary Fellows of the Coll. of Phys, and Dr. Pope who was uterine brother to Dr. Joh. Wilkins sometimes Bishop of Chester, is now Fellow of the Royal Society and Astron. Prof. of Gresham Coll, and hath spent much time in observing the motions and appearances of the Heavens; the result of which he hath delivered (*) 1.48 in his Astronomical Lectures there read, which 'tis hoped he may be prevailed with to be made public hereafter, and not publish vain and trivial things, as he hath hitherto done: among which must not be forgotten, The Memoires of Mounsieur Du Vall; containing the history of his life and death, as also his Speech and Epitaph, written out of a pique, and printed at Lond. 1670. qu.

Oct. 10. Will. Sparke of Magd. Coll.—See in vol. 1. p. 740. at the bottom.

Doct. of Div.

Apr. 1. Tho. Triplet M. of A. was then diplomated.—He was born in, or near, Oxon, was educated a Student of Ch. Ch, where, and in the Univ, he was always esteemed a great Wit and a good Greecian and Poet. In Oct. 1645 he became Preb. of Preston in the Ch. of Sarum, at which time he was also beneficed, but soon after be∣ing sequestred, he taught School at Dublin in Ireland, was there when K. Ch. 1. was beheaded, and afterwards taught at Hayes in Middlesex. After K. Ch. 2. was restored, he was made Preb. of Westminster, and of Fenton in the Church of York; and dying 18 Jul. 1670, aged 70 years, his body was buried in the south Tran∣scopt or large south Isle joyning to the Choir of S. Peter's Church in Westminster. Over his grave was, soon after, fastned to the west wall of the said Isle a fair monument, in the very place where the monument of Tho. May the Poet once stood. This worthy Do∣ctor, of whom you may see more in the first vol. p. 502, hath se∣veral Specimens of his Poetry extant in various books, and some that yet go from hand to hand in MS.

May 21. Franc. Davies of Jes. Coll.—He was afterwards Bish. of Landaff.

Jun. 7. Joh. Fairclough commonly called Featley of Alls. Coll.

12. Sam. Bolton of Linc. Coll. now one of the Kings Chaplains, was then created by vertue of the Chancellours Letters, which say that he is a man of extraordinary abilities and great integrity; and one who by his preaching in this City (London) is very serviceable to the interest of the K. and Church, &c. On the 15 of Jan. 1661 he and Dr. Br. Ryves preached before the H. of Commons at S. Marga∣rets in Westm. and were by them desired to print their Sermons; but whether they were printed, I know not, for I have not yet seen either. See more of this Dr. Bolton in the first vol. p. 481.

• Jun. 7. Edw. Drope of Magd. Coll.
• Jun. 7. Edm. Diggle of Magd. Coll.

The first of these two who was esteemed a good Preacher, and therefore put upon preaching before the K. and Parl. at Oxon in the time of the Rebellion, and upon that account had the degree of Doctor confer'd upon him, died in Magd. Coll. 13 Apr. 1683, aged 84 or thereabouts, and was buried in the outer Chappel there. The other, who also had his degree confer'd upon him on the like ac∣count, was then Canon of Lichfield (which they call the Golden Prebend) by the favour of Dr. Frewen Bishop thereof (to whom he was Chaplain) and afterwards became Preb. of Hustwait in the Church of York and Archdeacon of York, or of the West Riding of Yorksh. in the place of Dr. Rich. Marsh deceased; in which last dig∣nity he was installed 19 Oct. 1663. He died at Slimbridge in Gloce∣stershire (of which he was Rector) on the first of August, anno 1688.

Jul. 3. Cornelius Trigland a learned Theologist, and Chapl. to the Prince of Aurange or Orange, was diplomated by vertue of the Chancellours Letters, which say, that he is one of the Ministers at the Hague,—was very kind to the King (Ch. 2.) and his friends, while they lived in those parts—shewed himself kind to the Church of England—entrusted by our King with a great share of the education of his Nephew the Prince of Orange, &c. There is mention made of this learned person in Dr. George Morley among the Writers, an. 1684. p. 585.

• Jul. 3. Rich. Mervin Bach of Div. of Exet. Coll.
• Jul. 3. Jam. Smith Bach of Div. of Linc. Coll.
• Jul. 3. Giles Thorne Bach of Div. of Ball. Coll.

The first of these three was Chancellour of the Church of Exe∣ter, in which Dignity he was succeeded, as it seems, by Dr. Tho. Tomkins. The second I have mention'd among the Writers p. 279, and the third was now (1661) Archdeacon of Bucks in the place of Rob. Newell who died in the time of the Civ. War.

Jul. 9. David Michell (Sanctandrianus as in the reg. he is so cal∣led) Preb. of Westminster, was created by vertue of the Chancel∣lours Letters, which say that Mr. Dav. Michell of Aberdene is a person very learned and honest, and from the beginning of the Troubles has been a great Sufferer for the Cause of his Majesty and the Church, &c. This worthy person was born in the Shire of Merne, was Minister at Edinburgh and there challenged for Arminianisme in the time of the Covenant, and forced afterwards to fly into Engl, where he en∣joyed some Benefice during his exile. After his Maj. restauration he was made Preb. of Westm. as before 'tis told you, and on the first day of June 1662 he was consecrated Bishop of Aberdene at S. An∣drews, with Dr. Wishart to Edinburgh, where sitting but one year, died of a Fever, and was buried in the Cath. Ch. of S. Macchar at Old Aberdene among his Predecessors.

Jul. 19. Tho. Gorges of Alls. Coll.—On the 23 Apr. 1643 he was collated to the Prebendship of Woodford and Willsford in the Ch. of Salisbury, and afterwards suffered much for the royal Cause. Af∣ter the return of his Maj. he was restored to his Prebendship, was installed Archdeacon of Winchester on the death of Dr. George Ro∣berts, 19 Mar. 1660, and soon after became Preb. of Westminster. After his death his Archdeaconry was bestowed on Dr. Walt. Day∣rel, and his Preb. of Salisbury on Dr. Will. Lloyd, to which he was collared in Dec. 1667, but who succeeded him in Westm. I cannot yet tell. In 1629 the said Tho. Gorges was elected Fellow of Alls. Coll. with Gilbert Talbot a Native of Worcestershire, son of Shering∣ton Talbot an Inhabitant then of Lacock in Wilts: Which Gilb. (who was originally of Ch. Ch.) was by his Majesty sent ordinary Agent to the Republic of Venice, about 1638, was afterwards a Sufferer for his Cause in the time of the Rebellion, and having the honour of Knighthood confer'd on him, became Master of the Jewel house and one of the first 21 persons who were appointed by his Majesty to be of the Council of the Royal Society at its first institution, &c.

Sept. 5. Will. Barker of New Coll, was created Doctor for his laudable Sermons preached before the King and Parl. at Oxon du∣ring the time of Rebellion.—He was now Preb. of Canterbury, and dying in his Rectory house at Hardwick in Bucks, 26 Mar. 1669 was buried in the Church there. I have seen his Epitaph, wherein 'tis said that he was always noted for his orthodox Sermons and for his frequent and innocent Conceits and Jests.

Sept. 9. Rich. Rallingson or Rawlinson of Queens Coll, Chaplain to the Duke of Newcastle, was created while the Chancellour held the Supreme Chair in Convocation.—He was an ingenious man, well skill'd in the Mathematicks, but had not preferment confer'd on him equal to his merits. He died in 1668, being then, as I conceive, Rector of Pulborough in Sussex.

The second of these four was beneficed at Norton in Kent, and died in 1669 or thereabouts. The third was afterwards Bish. of Bangor, and the last beneficed in his own Country; of whom by the way I must let the Reader know these things; viz. That he was a Cardiganshire man born, son of Joh. Lloyd of Varedreff in the same County Gent. That he became a Student in Jesus Coll. in Mich. term an. 1640, but the Rebellion breaking out soon after, he left the University without a degree, and closed with the predo∣minant party. That in 1648 or before he retired to the Univer∣sity again, submitted to the Visitors appointed by the Parl, and was actually created Mast. of Arts in the Pembrokian Creation. That about that time he was Rector of Llandishill in his own Country, and afterwards wrot and published, Christs Valedictions: or, sacred Observations on the last words of our Saviour delivered on the Cross. Lond. 1658. in tw. They are discourses, or at least the effect of certain Sermons on Luke 23. ver. 34.43.46, and on Joh. 19. ver. 28.30. &c.

Learning in the Coll. school at Westminster, in Academical at Cambr, whence he return'd to Westm. and was an Usher under Mr. Rich. Busby. Afterwards he became Master of the Free-school in the Town of his nativity (founded by Rich. Cornwell Cit. and Skinner of Lond. 27 Eliz. dom. 1585.) and at length the first Master of the Free-school founded at Witney in Oxfordshire by Hen. Box a Druggist of Lond, after his Majesties restauration: At both which places continuing several years, he did much good by his sedulous instruction. In 1672, or thereabouts, he became Rector of Hambleton near Great Wycomb

in Bucks, and about that time one of his Majesties Chaplains in ordinary. He hath written (1) Etymologicum parvum ex magno illo Sylburgii, Eustathio, Martinio aliisque magni nominis authoribus excerptum, digestum, explicatum, &c. in usum Schol. publ. Westmon.

In which book the author shews a great deal of antient Learning, especially as to Criticism and the Languages. It is dedicated by his son Joh. Greg. M. A. of Magd. Hall to John Lord Visc. Scudamore his Patron, by whose grant he succeeded his father in the Rectory of Hemsted before mention'd. The said John the father hath also written Greek Scholia on the New Test, but whether yet printed, I know not. He died in the begin∣ning of Dec. 1678; whereupon his Archdeaconry was bestowed on Thom.

Nov. 16. Will. Piers of Ch. Ch.—He was son of Dr. W.

In the latter end of March 1639 he was collated to the Preb. of Whitchurch in the said Ch. of Wells, and in the latter end of June following, he re∣signing Cudworth with Knowle, was succeeded therein by Rich.

Chanc. the same; viz. Edw. Earl of Clarendon.

Vicechanc. Walt. Blandford D. D. Warden of Wadham Coll, 18 Septemb.

The Caroline Cycle being still kept back a year, Merton and Magd. Colleges did choose Proctors this year, according as the said Cycle was kept back, viz. Mr. Rob. Crippes for the first, and Mr. Joh. Hook for the other. But the Vicechanc. and Heads of Houses being then and before inclined to reform it and set it right, Ch. Ch. and Brasnose chose also according to the true tenor of the Cycle. So that from thence a Controversie arising, it was on the 22 of March last year, decided at Westminster in the Chancellours house, by him the said Chancellour and the Bishops of London and Worce∣ster, viz. Sheldon and Morley, who ordered that the Proctors chosen by Ch. Ch. and Brasnose should stand and be admitted. Which be∣ing the result of the matter pronounced before certain members of the Unversity then present, of which the President of Magd. Coll. was one, and the Warden of Mert. should have been another, but withdrawn when he saw how the business was carried, these per∣sons following were admitted Proctors in Convocation.

Watson of Caies Coll. in Cambr. and Chaplain to James Duke of York, was declared Doctor in Convocation, he be∣ing then absent; whereupon a Diploma for it being drawn up, it was sealed on the third of the Ides of the same month.—He had been Master of the Free-School in Cambr. while he was Fellow of the said Coll, and being a most zealous man for the Ch. of Engl. preached A Sermon touching Schisme in S. Maries Church there an. 1642, which being highly offensive to the Presbyterians, he was ejected from his Fellowship and School. Afterwards, to avoid their barbarities, he fled into France, was patroniz'd at Paris by Sir Rich. Browne Clerk of his Majesties Council, officiated for some months in his Oratory or Chappel there, and was one of those English Di∣vines who did many times argue with the contrary party concern∣ing the visibility of their Church. The said Sir Richard also en∣deavoured to have such an establishment made for him, as thereby, in the most difficult of times, he might have had a comfortable subsistence and a safe protection under his sacred roof, besides the other graces and civilities received from him. Afterwards he be∣came Chapl. to Ralph Lord Hopton, in whose service he continued till that Lords death, being then accounted one of the prime Suffer∣ers

of the English Clergy beyond the seas. After his Majesties re∣stauration he did not return with him, but continued at Caen till 1661, and then repairing to his native place became Chaplain to the Duke of York, Rector of Pewsie in Wiltshire in Septemb. 1662, Preb. of Warmister in the Ch. of Sarum by the ceasing of Rich. Hyde in the latter end of March 1666, Preb. of Bitton in the said Ch. in the place of Tho. Hill in Dec. 1671. &c.

Cosin late Lord Bish. of Durham his opi∣nion (when Dean of Peterb. and in exile) for communicating rather with Geneva than Rome: Also what slender authority, if any, the En∣glish Psalmes, in rhyme and metre, have ever had for the public use they have obtained in our Churches, &c. in two letters with annotations on them &c. Lond. 1684. 85. oct. He hath also written Episto∣laris Diatribe, &c. which I have mention'd before in these Fasti a∣mong the Incorporations, an. 1642, p. 692. See in the first vol. in the Fasti p. 902.903. and in Thom. Jones in this vol. among the Writers, p. 534. This person who was a good scholar, but vain and conceited, died on the 13 Jan. 1684, whereupon his Prebend. of Bitton was bestowed on Benj. Johnson and his Rectory on Dr. Rob. Woodward Chanc. of the Dioc. of Salisbury.

Apr. 19. Henry Carpenter sometimes of Exeter Coll, now Chapl. to the honorable the H. of Commons assembled in Parl, was decla∣red D. D. by a Diploma then dated, upon the earnest request of his Nephew Sir Edw. Turnour Speaker of the said House of Com. made to the Chancellour of the University.—The Masters then murmured that they should be imposed upon to confer degrees on those they never saw, and great grumbling there was: with which the Chanc. being acquainted, he by his letters dated 30 of the said month doth in a manner excuse himself for what he had done for several reasons; the contents of which being large, I shall now for brevity sake omit them. This Hen. Carpenter, who was son of Rich. Carpenter Minister of Culleton in Devonsh. became Preb. of Yatmin∣ster prima in the Church of Sarum, in Aug. 1660, and on the 20 of May this year (1662) Canon of Windsore in the place of Dr. George Hall promoted to the See of Chester, he being then Rector of S. Dionise Back-church in Lond. He hath written The Deputy-Divinity, or inferior Deity, and subordinate God in the world, Consci∣ence; in two Sermons. Lond. 1657. in tw.

Sept. 28. James Fitz-Roy Duke of Monmouth Visc. Doncaster, &c. was incorporated M. A. as he had stood at Cambridge, at which time the King, Queen, and their respective Courts were in Oxon—He was presented by the University Orator with a flattering speech, and in the plague year 1665, when the said King and Queen were at Oxon, he was entred as a member in C. C. Coll. there. This per∣son who was the eldest natural Son of K. Ch. 2, was begotten on the body Mrs. Lucy Walters alias Barlow of Pembrokeshire, as I have heard, who, as a spy, was by Oliver imprisoned in the Tower of London, in the beginning of 1656, but released thence in July the same year. He was born at Roterdam in 1649, and for some time nurs'd there, but when his Father K. Ch. 2. went into Scotland to be there crown'd by the Presbyterians, he was (being then known by the name of James Crofts) committed to the care of his Grandmo∣ther Hen. Maria the Queen Mother of England, then in France. And what became of him afterwards, a book written by S. T. a No∣vice, and an unskilful author, will tell you in his book entit. An

Historical Account of the heroick life and magnanimous actions of James Duke of Monmouth, &c. Lond. 1683. oct: Which book c••ming out in his life time, I shall only add this, that for raising a rebellion in the West parts of England in the beginning of K. Jam. 2, (against whom he had acted several times very unworthily while he was Duke of York in order to the disinheriting him of the imperial Crown) was taken, carried to London, committed to the Tower, and at length on the 15 of July 1685 was beheaded on Tower-hill; whereupon his body was buried in the Church or Chappel there, dedicated to S. Peter ad vincula. Having now this just opportunity laid before me, I shall give you the names of all or most of the natural Children of the said K. (Ch. 2.) but before I begin with them you are to know that the said Mrs. Walters gave out that the said King did beget on her body a Daughter, but because he would not own her, I shall not number her among the Children. She was first married to a Gentleman of Ireland, and afterwards to Will. Fanshaw one of the Masters of the Requests. The second was Charlott begotten on the body of ... Boyle Vicountess Shannon, Sister to Tho. Killigrew Groom of the Bedchamber to K. Ch. 2, who was first married to .... Howard the only Son of Tho. Howard a younger Brother to the Earl of Suffolk, and after his death to Will. Paston Son and Heir to Robert Vicount Yarmouth. She died in her house in the Pall-Mall within the liberty of Westm. 28. July 1684, and was buried with∣out any Armes of her own (because the King had not assign'd her any) in the Abbey Church at Westminster. (3) Charles Fitz-Charles, commonly called Don Carlos, Earl of Plymouth, begotten on the bo∣dy of Mrs. Catherine Pegge of Leycestershire, afterwards the Wife of Sir Edw. Green of Essex Bt. This Ch. Fitz-Ch. who had married one of the Daughters of Tho. Earl of Danby, died of a Bloody-flux at Tangier, (a City in the Kingdom of Fezz in Africa, which had been given to K. Ch. 2. when he took to Wife Catherine the Infan∣ta of Portugal) on the 17 of Octob. 1680; whereupon his body was conveyed into England and buried, as I presume, in the Abbey Ch. of Westminster. Qu. (4) Charles Fitz-Roy Duke of Southampton, be∣gotten on the body of Barbara, Wife of Roger Palmer Esq. (after∣wards Earl of Castlemaine) and Daughter of Will. Villiers Lord Gran∣dison; which Lord dying of his wounds received at Edghill Bat∣tle in 1642, was buried in the Cathedral of Ch. Ch. in Oxon; over whose grave a stately monument was erected some years after his Majesties restauration by his said Daughter Barbara. This Charles Fitz-Roy, who was born in Kingstreet in Westm. and was for some time a Nobleman or Canon Commoner of Ch. Ch, married the Daughter and Heir of Sir Henry Wood sometimes one of the Clerks of the Spicery in the Reign of K. Ch. 1. and afterwards one of the Clerks of the Green-Cloth, by his second Wife, the Daughter of Sir Tho. Gardiner sometimes Recorder of London. This Dutchess of Southampton died without Issue near Whitehall in Nov. or Dec. 1680, and was buried in the Abbey Ch. at Westminster. (5) Henry Fitz-Roy Earl of Ewsion and Duke of Grafton, begotten on the body of the said Barbara Wife of Rog. Palmer. This Henry, (whom the K. for a considerable time would not own to be his Son, and therefore the titles of Charles Fitz-Roy, were, in case he die without heirs male of his body, to descend to George Fitz Roy, whom I shall anon mention) married Isabel the only Child of Henry Earl of Arlington. He died at Cork in Ireland of a wound received while that place was besieged by the Forces of K. Will. 3, on the ninth of Octob. 1690: whereupon his body was conveyed into England, and buried at Ew∣ston in Suffolk near the body of the said Earl of Arlington. (6) Geor. Fitz-Roy Earl of Northumberland, begotten on the body of the said Barbara. He was born in a Fellows Chamber in Merton Coll, 28. Decemb. 1665, at which time the Queen and her Court lodged in that Coll, as the King did at Ch. Ch, to avoid the plague then ra∣ging in Lond. and Westm. In the latter end of the year (in Jan. or Feb.) 1685 there was committed a clandestine marriage between him and a Woman of ordinary extract, Widow of one Captain Lucy of Charlecot in Warwickshire, a Captain in the Earl of Oxfords Regi∣ment, but were, as it seems, soon after parted. (7) Charles begotten on the body of Eleanor Quinn or Gwinn a Comedian in the Kings Play-house, &c. was born in Lincolns-Inn-Fields about the 14 or 15 of May 1670, had the Sirname of Beauclere given to him 27. of Dec. 28 of K. Ch. 2, being then created Earl of Burford, &c. He is now Duke of S. Albans. (8) Charles Lenos Duke of Richmond, begotten on the body of Lovisa de Querovall a Lady of French extraction, and an attendant on Henrietta Dutchess of Orleans when she came into England to give a visit to the K. her Brother, an. 1670. She was afterwards made Duchess of Portsmouth. (9) Charlot a Daughter begotten on the body of Barbara before mention'd, then Countess of Castlemaine, afterwards Duchess of Cleveland. The said Charlot was married to Sir Edw. Henry Lee of Ditchley in Oxfordsh. Bt, after∣wards Earl of Lichfield. (10) Mary begotten on the body of Mary Davies a Comedian in the Duke of Yorks Play-house. She had af∣terwards the Sirname of Tuder given to her, and on the 18 of Aug. or thereabouts, an. 1687, she was married to the Son of Sir Francis Radcliffe, afterwards Earl of Derentwater. (11) James begotten on the body of the said Eleanor Quinn, was born in the Pall-Mall with∣in the liberty of Westminster on Christmas day or thereabouts an. 1671, and died in France of a sore leg about Michaelmas in 1680.

Here are eleven natural Children set down, but whether in order according to Birth, I cannot justly tell you. There was another Daughter begotten on the body of the said Barbara Duchess of Cleveland which the King would not own, because supposed to be begotten by another, and whether he own'd it before his death I cannot tell. He also adopted for his Daughter, the Daughter of the said Rog. Palmer E. of Castlemaine, which was born of Barbara his Wife before she had knowledge of his Majesty. After her adoption she was married to Thomas Lennard Lord Dacres, Earl of

Sussex. But now after this digression lets proceed to the rest of the incorporations.

(now of the Royal Society) was one, but whether he or they were admitted it appears not.

Doct. of Law.

Four were actually created on the 28 of Sept. the names of which follow.

Sir Henry Benet Knight one of the Secretaries of State to his Ma∣jesty.—This Gentleman, who was second Son of Sir Joh. Benet of Arlington commonly called Harlington in Middlesex, by Dorothy his Wife, Daughter of Sir Joh. Croft of Saxham in Suffolk, was edu∣cated in the condition of a Student in Ch. Ch, took the degrees in Arts, and had the reputation of a Poet among his contemporaries, which was evidenc'd by certain copies of his composition, occasio∣nally printed in books of verses published under the name of the University, and in others, in his time. In the beginning of the Civ. War, when his Majesty fix'd his chief residence in Oxon, he be∣came Under Secretary to George L. Digby Secretary of State, and afterwards a Gentleman Volunteer for the royal cause, in which condition he did his Majesty good service, especially at the sharp encounter near Andover in Hampshire, &c. When the Wars were ended, he left not his Majesty when success did, but attended his interest in Foreign parts, and, the better to fit himself for his Ma∣jesties service, he travelled into Italy and made his remarks and ob∣servations of all the parts and States of Christendom. Afterwards he was made Secretary to James Duke of York, received the honour of Knighthood from his Majesty at Bruges, in March (Stil. nov.) 1658, and then was sent Leiger to the Crown of Spain; in which nego∣tiation with that wary Court, he carried things with so much pru∣dence, circumspection and success, that his Majesty, upon his hap∣py return for England, soon called him home, and made him Keeper of his privy Purse. In the month of Octob. 1662, he was made Prin∣cipal Secretary of State on the resignation of Sir Edward Nicholas, whereupon the place of Keeper of the privy Purse was confer'd on the Son of Charles Visc. Fitz Harding, called Sir Charles Berkley Captain of the Guards to James Duke of York and Governour (un∣der his Highness) of the Town and Garrison of Portsmouth, &c. In the latter end of the year 1663 he was made a Baron of this Realm by the title of Lord Arlington of Arlington in Middlesex, and in Apr. 1672 he was made Earl of Arlington. On the 15 of June follow∣ing, he was elected one of the Knights companions of the most no∣ble order of the Garter, and on the 22 of the same month he, with George Duke of Buckingham, began their Journey towards Holland, as Embassadors extraordinary and Plenipotentiaries to treat and set∣tle affairs between the most Christian King and the States. In Apr. 1673 he was appointed one of the three Plenipotentiaries to go from his Majesty of Great Britaine to Colen, to mediate for a peace be∣tween

the Emperor and the said Christian King, and on the eleventh of Sept. 1674 he was, upon the resignation of Henry Earl of S. Al∣ban, made Lord Chamberlain of his Majesties Houshold: In which honorable office he was confirmed by K. Jam. 2. when he came to the Crown. He died early in the morning of the 28 of July 1685, aged 67 years: whereupon his body was conveyed to his Seat at Ewston in Suffolk, and there buried in a vault under the Church of that place. Two days after his death his Majesty K. Jam. 2. gave the white staff of Lord Chamberlain to Robert Earl of Aylesbury, who, after a short enjoyment of it, died much lamented in his house at Ampthil in Bedfordshire, on Tuesday the 20 of Octob. the same year. See more of him in the Fasti of the first vol. p. 886.887. The eldest Brother of the said Henry Earl of Arlington was named John, Knight of the Bath at the Coronation of K. Ch. 2. created a Baron of this Kingdom by that King, under the stile and title of John Lord Ossulston, in Novemb. an. 1682. He was originally a Gent. Com. of Pembroke Coll, to which he was not only a Benefactor by contri∣buting largely towards the buildings thereof, but by giving a Fel∣lowship thereunto.

Will. Coventrie sometimes of Qu. Coll, Son of Thom. Lord Coven∣trie—I have made large mention of him among the Writers under the year 1686. p. 601.

Richard Nicolls one of the Groomes of the Bedchamber to James D. of York.

Will. Godolphin M. A. of Ch. Ch. and under Secretary to Sir Hen. Benet before mention'd—This person, who was descended from the antient family of his name in Cornwall, was elected Student of Ch. Ch. from Westm. School an. 1651, where he continued till his Majesties restauration under Presbyterian and Independ. discipline: Afterwards getting into the service of the said Sir Henry, he was chose a Recruiter for Camelford in Cornwall to serve in that Parlia∣ment that began at Westm. 8. May 1661, wherein shewing himself zealous for the prerogative had several Boons bestowed on him. On the 28. of Aug. 1668, his Majesty confer'd on him the honour of Knighthood, he being then about to send him to the Catholick King and Qu. Regent of Spain, to reside as his Embassador in that Court, upon the return thence of Edward Earl of Sandwich his Maj. late Embassador extraordinary there. So that going, and continuing there several years, he changed his Religion for that of Rome.

Doct. of Phys.

Mar. 26. Rich. Keurden sometimes known by the name of Jackson, M. A. of S. Maries Hall, was then actually created Doctor of Phys.—He was the Son of Gilbert Keurden, (who died in 1662) Son of Rich. Keurden, (who died 1630) Son of Gilb. Jackson of Keurden near to Preston in Lancashire, and was at this time and several years after a practitioner of his faculty at Preston and in the Country adjacent. But his genie being more adaquat to antiquities than his proper pro∣fession, he neglected his practice and wrot in honor of his Country—Brigantia Lancastriensis restaurata. Or History of the honorable Duke∣dom, or County Palatine of Lancaster, in 5. vol. in fol. The method of which he printed in certain proposals by him scattered among his friends, in July and Aug. 1688; wherein it appears that he had then obtained several sums of money from some of the Gentry of Lancashire, and elsewhere to print that work.

Sir Hen. de Vic of the Isle of Guernsey Bt.—He had been Resident at Bruxells for K. Ch. 1. near 20 years, and after that, he was made Chancellour of the noble order of the Garter. He died 20. of Nov. 1672, and was buried in the north cross Isle of the Abbey Church dedicated to St. Peter in Westminster. About that time his Chancel∣lourship went to Seth B. of Sarum and his Successors in that See.

Doct. of Div.

Oct. 1. Rob. Powell M. A. of Alls. Coll. was then created by vertue of the Chancellours Letters.—This person who had been made Fel∣low of the said Coll. by the Parliamentarian Visitors an. 1648 was now Archdeacon of Shrewsbury, and afterwards Chancellour of S. Asaph, and took all advantages to thrust himself into other places, tho he himself had been no sufferer for the Kings cause, but rather an enemy to him and his friends. After the Letters of the Chancellor had been read for his creation, the generality of the members of Convocation cried non, and protested with great clamours against his creation: whereupon a scrutiny being made, he was by the falseness of one of the Proctors pronounced passed. Afterwards Dr. Joh. Wallis presenting him to the Vicechancellour, he was ad∣mitted Bach. of Div. and after another presentation by the said per∣son, Doct. of that faculty.

Rob. South M. of A. of Ch. Ch. of six years standing, was created at the same time—This Gent. who had been bred in the said House during the times of Usurpation, was now Orator of the University and Chaplain to the Chanc. thereof. After the Letters of the said Chanc. had been read for his creation, the Bachelaurs of Divinity and Masters of Arts were against it, (as they were against that of Powell) but at length after a scrutiny, the said Proctor pronounced him virtute juramenti•• ••ui (as he had done Powell) passed by the Ma∣jor part of the House. Whereupon, by the double presentation of Dr. Joh. Wallis, he was first admitted Bachelaur, then Doct. of Di∣vinity.

James Sessions Bach. of Div. of Magd. Hall, was also then (Oct. 1.) created, but not at all denied.

At the same time the Chancellour commended to the members of Convocation one Mr. Joh. Clegge of S. Alb▪ Hall, a person of good affections to the King and Church, to be also created D. D, but he did not then appear.

Mar. 21. Thomas Barton of Magd. Hall was then created by ver∣tue of the Chancellours Letters then read, which say that he is Ma∣ster of Arts and hath been throughout the War Chaplain to Prince Ru∣pert in the Army, &c.

This year became a Sojourner in the University to improve him∣self in Literature one Laurence Son of Nich. Fessius a Dane, born in the City of Schaane sometimes belonging to the K. of Sweedland af∣terwards to the K. of Denmark; which Laurence, after his return to his own Country, wrot several Panegyricks on the K. of Denmark and other things.

July 7. Christoph. Gibbons one of the Organists of his Majesties Chap. was then licensed to proceed Doctor of Musick: which de∣gree was compleated in an Act celebrated in S. Maries Church on the eleventh of the said month, with very great honour to himself and his faculty. He was licensed by vertue of his Majesties Letters, written in his behalf, which say that the bearer Christopher Gibbons one of our Organists of our Chap. royal, hath from his youth served our Royal Father and our self, and hath so well improved himself in Mu∣sick, as well in our own judgment, as the judgment of all men well skill'd in that science, as that he may worthily receive the honour and degree of Doctor therein, &c.

Gibbons mention'd in the Fasti of the first vol. p. 842. was bred up from a Child to MusicK under his Uncle Ellis Gibbons Organist of Bristow (mention'd in the said Fasti p. 768) and for his great merits in that faculty, had a place confer'd on him in his Majesties Chappel before the Civil War. After the restauration of K. Ch. 2, he was Principal Organist of his Chappel, his Principal Organist in private, Master of the singing boys belonging thereunto, Organist of West∣minster, and one of his Majesties private Musick. He had a prin∣cipal hand in a book entit.—Cantica Sacra. Containing Hymns and Anthems for two voices to the Organ both Latin and English. Lond. 1674. in fol. See before in the said Fasti p. 808.

Master of Arts and Chancellour of the Univ. of Cambridge, (which University he had ruin'd in the time of the grand and un∣parallel'd Rebellion) was incorporated in the same degree as he had stood at Cambridge.—After he had been conducted into the House of Convocation in his Masters Gown and Hood by the Beadles, and seated on the right hand of the Vicechancellour, the Orator of the University who then stood on the other side, near and above the Registraries desk did then speak (directing his voice to him) an eloquent Oration: which being done, the said Orato•• went from his place, and going to, he took, him by the hand, and led him to the middle of the Area, where he presented him to the Vicechancellour and ven. Convocation; which being done, and he incorporated by the Vicechancellours Sentence, he re-took his place. This is that Kimbolton, who with 5 members of the House of Com∣mons were demanded by his Majesty on the 4 of Jan. 1641 for en∣deavouring to subvert the fundamental Laws and Government, and to deprive the King of his legal power, &c. and the same, who af∣ter he had sedulously endeavoured to promote, did carry on, a Re∣bellion, and continued his course till the Wars were ceased. After∣wards striking in with Oliver, he became one of his Lords, that is, one of the Lords of the other house, and was a great man, a tho∣rough-pac'd Dissembler, &c. and never a looser for his high actings against the Royal Family. After his Majesties restauration, towards which he pretended to be a great helper, when it could not other∣wise be avoided, he was made L. Chamberlain of his Majesties houshold, and in that quality did he, with Edw. Earl of Clarendon Chanc. of the Univ, come this year to Oxon from Salisbury, (where they left their Majesties) in order to have Lodgings provided for them, about to come hither to take up their Winter-Quarters to a∣void the Plague then raging in Lond. and Westminster. This Edw. Earl of Manchester had a younger brother named Walter Montague born in the Parish of St. Botolph without Aldersgate in London, edu∣cated in Sidney Coll. in Cambr, afterwards travelled beyond the Seas, and returning with an unsetled mind, did, at length, (after

he had been sent once or more into France about public concerns) give a farewel to his own Country, and Religion wherein he had been born and baptized, and going beyond the Sea he setled him∣self in a Monastery for a time, and wrot A Letter in justification of his change, which was afterwards answer'd by Lucius Lord Falkland. Afterwards being received with great love into the favour of the Qu. Mother of France, she made him Abbat of Nantveil of the Be∣nedictine order in the dioc. of Mets, and afterwards Abbat of the Benedictines of S. Martins Abbey near Pontois in the dioc. of Roan, in the place of Job. Franc. de G••ndy deceased. He was also one of her Cabinet Council, and a promoter of Mazarine into her favour, who, when fix'd, shew'd himself in many respects ungrateful to Montague and his friends: And whereas Mazarine made it one of his chief endeavours to raise a family and to do such things that might perpetuate his name, so Montague, who was of a most gene∣rous and noble spirit, and a person of great piety, did act to the contrary by spending all that he could obtain for public and pious uses. In his younger years before he left the Ch. of England he wrot The Sheppards paradise. Com. Lond. 1629. oct: And after he had left it—Miscellanea spiritualia. Or devout Essayes, in two parts: The first was printed at Lond. 1648, the other at the same place in 1654, and both in qu. I have seen a book intit. Manchester al Mundo: Contemplations on death and immortality. Lond. 1635. oct. and several times after; the fifteenth impression of which was made at Lond. in 1690. in tw. Which book was written by one of the fa∣mily of the Earl of Manchester, but whether by this Walter Monta∣gue, who was a younger son to Henry Montague the first Earl of Manchester of his name, I cannot tell, because his name is not set to it. This person, who was commonly called Abbat Montague and sometimes Lord Abbat of Pontois, died after Henrietta Maria the Queen Mother of England, who concluding her last day on the last of Aug. 1669, he soon after followed, as I have been informed by one of his domestick Servants, who told me further, that he was buried in the Chappel or Church belonging to the Hospital of Incu∣rables at Paris. You may read much of him in a book called Le∣genda lignea, &c. Lond. 1653. oct. p. 137.138. &c. but that book being full of Satyr, persons of moderate Principles believe little or nothing therein.

As for the other persons who were incorporated besides the said Earl of Manchester, were these.

Dec. 8. Joh. Logan M. A. of Glascow, with liberty to suffragate in Convoc. and Congreg. which is all I know of him.

Mar. 8. Henr. Montague M. A. of Cambridge, a younger son to the said Edward Earl of Manchester, and others.

CREATIONS.

The Creations this year were mostly made on the 8 of Septemb. when the said Edward Earl of Manchester was incorporated M. A. at which time the Chancellour of the University was then in Oxon.

Mast. of Arts.

Rob. Montague Visc. Mandevile eldest son to Edw. Earl of Man∣chester.—He was presented by the Orator of the University with a little Speech, and afterwards was seated on the left hand of the Vicechancellour. After his fathers death in 1671 he became Earl of Manchester, and died at Paris about the latter end of Decemb, according to the English Accompt, an. 1682.

Charles Dormer Visc. Ascot of Mert. Coll, eldest son of Charles Earl of Caernarvan.

Edward Capell of Wadh. Coll. a younger son of Arthur Lord Capell.

Vere Bertie a younger son of Montague Earl of Lindsey.—He was made Serjeant at Law in 1675, and afterwards one of the Ba∣rons of the Exchecquer.

Charles Bertie his brother.—He is now Treasurer of the Ord∣nance.

• Nich. Pelham Bt. of Ch. Ch.
• Scrope How Kt. of Ch. Ch.

Will. Dolben a Counsellor of the Inner Temple, and brother to Dr. John Dolben.—He was afterwards Recorder of London, a Kt, Serjeant at Law, and one of the Justices of the Kings Bench.

Rich. Cooling or Coling Secretary to Edw. Earl of Manchester.—He was afterwards Secretary to Hen. Earl of Arlington while he was L. Chamberlain, and on the 21 of Feb. 1688 he was sworn one of the Clerks of his Maj. Privy Council in ordinary: at which time were sworn with him Sir John Nicholas Kt. of the Bath, Will. Blathwait and Charles Montague Esquires. This Rich. Cooling was originally, as it seems, of Alls. Coll.

The said nine persons were actually created on the 8 of Sept.

Doct. of Law.

Sept. 8. Sir Cyrill Wyche Kt, (son of Sir Pet. Wyche sometimes Controller of his Majesties Houshold,) now a Burgess in Parliament for Kellington in Cornwall.—He was M. of A. of Ch. Ch. in the times of Usurpation, was afterwards Secretary to the Lieutenancy in Ireland, one of the Royal Society, and a Burgess in other Parlia∣ments.

Nov. 7. Sir Henneage Finch Kt, Sollicitor General, and one of the Burgesses of the Univ. to sit in Parliament.

Col. Giles Strangwaies sometimes of Wadh. Coll. now a Knight for the County of Dorset to serve in Parl, was created the same day.—This most loyal and worthy Gent. who was of Melbury Samford in the said County, died 1675.

The said two persons were created Doctors of the Civil Law in a Convocation held on that day, (Nov. 7.) after they had commu∣nicated the thanks of the honorable House of Commons, lately sit∣ting in the said Convocation-house, to the members of the Univer∣sity for their Reasons concerning the solemn League and Covenant, ne∣gative Oath, &c. made 1647. Laurence Hyde Esq, another Burgess for the University, and Sir Joh. Birkenhead were the other two that were, besides the two former, appointed to return thanks, and were then present in Convocation; but the first of these last two was not created Doctor of the Civ. Law, because he had before been diplomated M. A, which he then thought was sufficient, and the other created Doctor, as I have before told you.

Doct. of Phys.

Sept. 8. Robert Boyle Esq. was created after Edw. E. of Manchester had been incorporated.—This honorable person, who was the fourth son of Richard the first Earl of Cork, was born at Lismore in Ireland, whence, after he had been well grounded in juvenile Learning, he went to the Univ. of Leyden, and spent some time there in good Letters. Afterwards he travelled into France, Switzerland, Italy, &c. and spending some time in Rome, he was so much satisfied with the curiosities there, that afterwards he never had any desire to see or view the Curiosities or Antiquities of other places. After his re∣turn into England, being then accounted a well bred Gentleman, he setled in Oxon, in the time of Oliver, about 1657, where he carried on his great delight in several studies, especially in experi∣mental Philosophy and Chimistry, spent much money, entertained Operators to work in his Elabratory which he had built for his own use, and often did repair to the Club of Virtuosi in the Lodgings of Dr. Wilkins Warden of Wadh. Coll, and they to him, in his joyning to Ʋniv. Coll. and opposite to that of Allsoules. After his Majesties restauration, when the Royal Society was erected, he was made one of the first members thereof, was one of the Council belonging thereunto, and the greatest promoter of new Philosophy of any a∣mong them. After he had left Oxon for London, he setled in the house of his sister Catherine Lady Ranelaugh, where he erected an Elaboratory, kept men at work, and carried on Chimistry to the last. The books that he hath written are many, some of which are printed beyond the Seas, and are there highly valued: In all which he hath done such things for the benefit of the world and in∣crease of knowledge, that none hath yet equall'd, much less gone beyond him. In them you'll find the greatest strength and the gentilest smoothness, the most generous knowledge and the sweetest modesty, the noblest discoveries and the sincerest relations, the greatest Self-denial and the greatest love of men, the profoundest in∣sight into philosophy and nature, and the most devout, affectionate sense of God and of Religion, as in any Works whatsoever written by other men, &c. This worthy person died 30 of Decemb. 1691, aged 64 years or thereabouts, and was buried on the 7 of Jan. fol∣lowing at the upper end, on the south side, of the Chancel of the Church of S. Martin in the Fields in Westminster near to the body of his sister the Lady Ranelaugh before mention'd, who dying about a week before him, the grief for her death put him in convulsion fits which carried him off. Soon after were Elegies and Epitaphs on him made public, as also the Sermon at his funeral, preached by Dr. Gilb. Burnet Bish. of Sarum; in all which you'll find just Enco∣miums of him, as no doubt you will in the life of him the said Mr. Boyle about to be published by the said Doctor. The eldest brother of this Mr. Rob. Boyle was Richard Earl of Burlington and Cork. The next was Roger Earl of Orery a great Poet, Statesman, Soldier, and great every thing which merits the name of great and good. He hath published four Plays in heroick verse highly valued and com∣mended by ingenious men, and died in Octob. 1679. The third was Francis Viscount Shannon, whose Pocket Pistol, as he stiled his book, may make (*) 1.49 as wide breaches in the walls of the Capitol, as many Ca∣nons. These were his elder brothers, and besides them he had seven Sister all married to noble persons.

This year in the month of Septemb. Andr. Marvel a Burgess for Kingston upon Hull to serve in that Parl. which began at Westm. 8. May 1661, became a Sojourner in Oxford for the sake of the public Library, and continued there, I presume, some months. See in Sam. Parker among the Writers an. 1687, p. 619, where you'll find an account of him and his Works. In the beginning of Dec. fol∣lowing was entred into the said Library Arthur Trevor an eminent and famous common Lawyer, &c.

In January following Francis Sandford an Officer of Arms attend∣ing the King now in Oxon, was entred also in the said Library, with the liberty then allowed to him of a Student. This person ha∣ving published several books, I must, according to the method that I have hitherto followed, let the Reader know, that tho he was descended from the antient and gentile Family of the Sandfords of Sandford in Shropshire, yet he was born in the Castle of Carnow in the County of Wicklow in Ireland and half Barony of Shelelak; which half Barony was purchased of K. Jam. 1. by his mothers father cal∣led Calcot Chambre. When the Rebellion broke out in Ireland, Fran∣cis being then about eleven years of age, his Relations carried him thence into England, setled themselves at Sandford with intentions to breed him a Scholar, but then the Rebellion breaking out there, and his family afterwards Sufferers for the Royal Cause, he had no other education than what Grammar Schools afforded. On the 6 of June 13 Car. 2. he was by Letters Patent created Pursuivant at Arms by the name and title of Rouge Dragon, and afterwards on

the 16 of Nov. in the 27 of the said Kings Reign he was created Lancaster Herald of Arms: Which office he held till 1689, and then surrendred it up. He hath written and published (1) A gene∣alogical History of the Kings of Portugal. &c. Lond. 1664. fol. 'Tis partly a Translation. (2) The Order and Ceremonies used at the fu∣neral of his Grace, George Duke of Albemarle, &c. with the manner of his Effigies lying in state in Somerset house, the whole proceeding to the Abbey of Westminster, the figure of his hearse in the said Abbey, &c. Printed in the Savoy near Lond••n 1670, in a thin fol, all exactly represented in Sculpture, with the form of the offering performed at Westm. (3) A genealogical history of the Kings of England and Monarchs of great Britain &c. from the Norm. Conq. an. 1066 to the year 1677, in seven parts or books, with their effigies, seals, tombs, cenotaphs, devises, arms, &c. Pr. in the Savoy 1677. in fol. (4) The History of the Coronation of K. Jam. 2. and Qu. Mary, solemnized in the collegiate Church of S. Peter in the City of Westminster on Thursday 23 of Apr. 1685, with an exact account of the several preparations in order thereunto, &c. the whole work illustrated with sculptures. Pr. in the Savoy 1687 in a large fol. What other things he hath publish∣ed I know not, nor any thing else of him besides, only that he now lives in, or near, Bloomsbury in Middlesex.

Afterwards he was created by his Majesty K. Ch. 2. Viscount Preston in Scotland, and by K. Jam. 2. was sent Embassador into France upon the recalling thence of Sir Will. Trumbull. Some time after his return, he became so great in the favour of that King that on the 28. of Octob. or there∣abouts, an. 1688 he was made one of the Secretaries of State upon the removal of Robert E. of Sunderland, who seemed very willing to be discharged of that office, because, that having then lately changed his religion for that of Rome, he thought it very requisite to make pro∣vision for a safe retirement to avoid the danger that might come up∣on him, if the enterprize of the Prince of Orange should succeed, as it did. In the said station of Secretary the Lord Preston continued till K. Jam. 2. left the Nation in Dec. following, who then would have made him Viscount Preston in Amounderness in Lancashire, but the sudden change of affairs being then made, to the great wonder of all People, there was no Seal pass'd in order to it. In the begin∣ning of Jan. 1690 he was taken, with others, in a certain Yatcht going to France to K. Jam. 2, upon some dangerous design, as 'twas said, and thereupon being committed Prisoner to the Tower, was in danger of his life, and endured a long and tedious imprisonment, &c.

Lond. 1684 oct, Sir Carr hath translated The fourth Elegy of Ovids first book of Elegies, which is in the 110 page of the said Miscellany Poems: as also The parling of Sireno and Diana, out of the 3 book of Ovids Elegies, which is in the 173 page of that Miscellany. He wrot also the Prologue to The Rival Queens, or the

death of Alexander: Trag. Lond. 1677 qu. made by Nath. Lee: And as divers Satyrical copies of verses were made on him by other per∣sons, so he hath divers made by himself on them, which to this day go from hand to hand. He died in the Parish of S. Martin in the Fields in Westminster in Nov, or thereabouts, 1680.

Afterwards he was made Lord Chamberlain to the Queen, and on the 16 of Apr. 1680 he was sworn of his Majesties most honorable Council. At length this brave Gent, of whom enough can never be spoken, died of a violent Fea∣ver in Whitehall on Friday 30. July 1680: whereupon his body was in the next evening carried privately and deposited in a vault in the Chap. of Hen. 7, joyning to the Abbey Church at Westmin∣ster, there to remain till his Father the Duke of Ormonde should or∣der the farther disposal of it. Afterwards it was conveyed to Kil∣kenny in Ireland (as I have been informed) and there laid in the Vault belonging to the Ormondian Family under part of the Cath. Church. His eminent Loyalty and forward zeal on all occasions to serve his Majesty and Country, were manifested by many brave and generous actions; which, as they made him to be honoured and esteemed by all when living, made him also when dead generally la∣mented. There were several Elegies made on his death, deploring much the untimely loss of so great and valiant a Commander as he was, the chiefest and best of which was made by Thomas Flatman, which being his Master-piece, he was nobly rewarded for his pains, as I have told you among the Writers under the year 1688. p. 626.

George Douglas Son of the Marquess of Douglas in Scotland, lately an Officer of note in the Army under the K. of France, now an Offi∣cer or Captain under the K. of Poland was created next after the Earl of Ossory.

Sir Nich. Armorer Kt, Governour of Duncannon Castle, with the territory adjoyning, in Ireland.

The said three persons were presented by Dr. Hen. Deane of New Coll, and created by the Vicechanc. with a little complemental Speech: which being done and they conducted to their respective Seats among the Doctors, Mr. George Hooper of Ch. Ch. the Dep. Orator did congratulate them with an accurate Speech in the name of the University. Afterwards were created Masters of Arts certain Noblemen and persons of quality of this University, as I have before told you among these Creations.

In the latter end of this year, Joh. Jacob. Buxtorfius Professor of the Hebrew tongue in the University of Basil became a Sojournour in this University for the sake of the Bodleian Vatican, and conti∣nued there some months. He was a learned man, as by the things that he hath published appears.

The first of these two I shall mention among the Masters an. 1670. The other who took no higher degree in this Univ, I must mention here. He was the Son of Rob. Thomps. of Wakefield in Yorkshire, was bred in Grammar learning there, and thence sent to Ʋniv. Coll. where he became a Scholar of the old foundation, took one degree in Arts, left it upon pretence of being unjustly put aside from a Fel∣lowship there, went to Cambridge, took the degree of Master of Arts, had Deacons orders confer'd on him, and afterwards those of Priest: which last he received from Dr. Fuller B. of Linc. in Hen. 7. Chap. at Westm. 14 of March 1670. Being thus qualified, he be∣came Curat of Brington in Northamptonshire for Dr. Thomas Pierce, who, when made Dean of Salisbury, an. 1675, left that Living and took his Curat with him to that City, and in 1676 he gave him a Prebend there, and afterwards a Presentation to S. Maries in Marl∣borough in Wilts. In 1677 he travelled with Joh. Norbourne of Caln in the same County Gent; but before he had spent 12 months in France with him, he was recalled and had the Church of Bedminster near Bristow confer'd on him, and afterwards the Vicaridge of St. Mary Radcliff: At both which places expressing himself a most zea∣lous and orthodox man for the Church of England, especially when the Popish Plot broke out, the Faction aspers'd him with the name of Papist, and more particularly for this reason, when he said in his Prayer or Sermon in the Church of S. Thomas in Sa••isbury, 30. of Jan. 1679, that there was no Popish Plot but a Presbyterian Plot. About which time shewing himself a great stickler against petitions to his Majesty for the sitting of a Parliament, which the Faction with all their might drove on, he was brought into trouble for so doing, and when the Parliament sate, he was, among those many that were against petitioning, brought on his knees in the H. of Commons and blasted for a Papist: whereupon to free himself from that imputation, he wrot and published The Visor pluckt off from Rich. Thompson of of Bristol Clerk, in a plain and true character of him. Printed in one sh. in fol. in 1681, wherein he takes occasion to shew, that while he was in his travels, he did not study at S. Omers or Doway as the Faction gave out, but sojourned in Protestant Houses in Paris, Glen, Blois, and frequented Protestant Chappels, Company, &c. After∣wards, in consideration of these his sufferings, his Majesty gave him the Deanery of Bristow, void by the death of Mr. Sam. Cross∣man; in which being installed on Trinity Sunday 1684, had the de∣gree of Doct. of Div. confer'd on him about that time at Cambridge. He hath published besides the Visor before mention'd. A Sermon in the Cath. Ch. of Bristow before Henry Duke of Beaufort L. Lieutenant of Glocestershire, &c. on Titus 3.1. Lond. 1685. qu. He died on the 29 of Nov. 1685, and was buried in the South Isle joyning to the said Cath. Ch: whereupon Dr. Will. Levett of Oxon succeeded him in his Deanery.

Afterwards he became Organist of Ch Ch. in Dublin, where conti∣nuing

till the rebellion broke out in 1641 he was forced thence, and going to Windsore, he obtained a Singing mans place there. But be∣ing soon after silenced, by the great troubles occasion'd by the Civil Wars in England, he taught his profession at Windsore and in the neighbourhood, and, by the favour of the men then in power, got some annual allowance in consideration of his lost place. In 1653 or thereabouts, he being then famed for a most admirable Composer, did, at the request of great personages, compose several sets of Airs of four parts to be performed by Violins and an Organ: which being esteem'd the best of their kind that could be then composed, were sent, as great rarities, into Germany to the Court of Archduke Leo∣pold, (now Emperour) and were tried and often played by his own Musitians to his very great content, he himself being then a Compo∣ser and a great Admirer of Musick. In 1658 his great favourer and encourager of his profession Dr. Nathaniel Ingelo Fellow of Eaton, conducted him to Cambridge, got the degree of Bach. of Mus. to be confer'd on him, as a member of Qu. Coll, (that Doctor hav∣ing been sometimes Fellow thereof, and at that time a Proceeder in Div.) and giving great content by his song of several parts, (which was his exercise) performed in the Commencement that year by seve∣ral voices, he gained the reputation there of a most admirable Mu∣sitian, and had the greater part of his fees and entertainment de∣fray'd by that noble and generous Doctor. After his Majesties re∣stauration, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen and chief Citizens of Lon∣don being unanimously dispos'd to entertain the King, the two Dukes, and both Houses of Parliament with a sumptuous Feast, it was or∣dered among them that there should be added to it the best Musick they could obtain: And B. Rogers being then esteemed the prime Composer of the Nation, he was desir'd of them to compose a song of several parts to be performed while the King and company were at dinner. Whereupon, in order to it, Dr. Ingelo made Hymnus Eucharisticus; the beginning of the prelude to which is Exultate Justi in Domino, &c. This also he translated into English, and both were printed in single papers. These things being done, B. Rogers composed a song of four parts to that Hymne, which was more than once tried in private. At length on the 12. of July (Thursday) 1660, being the day that his Majesty, James Duke of York, Henry Duke of Glocester, and both Houses of Parliament were at Dinner in the Guild-hall of the City of London, the said printed papers in Latin and English being delivered to the King, the two Dukes, and dispersed among the Nobility, &c. purposely that they might look on them while the performance was in doing, the song was began and carried on in Latin by twelve Voices, twelve Instruments and an Organ, mostly performed by his Majesties Servants. Which be∣ing admirably well done, it gave very great content, and Mr. Ro∣gers the author being present, he obtained a great name for his com∣position and a plentiful reward. Much about that time he became Organist of Eaton Coll, where continuing till Theodore Colby a Ger∣man was prefer'd to be Organist of Exeter Cathedral, Dr. Thomas Pierce who had a great value for the man (he himself being a Mu∣sitian) invited him to Magd. Coll. and gave him the Organists place there, and there he continued in good esteem till 1685, and then being ejected, (the reason why let others tell you) the Society of that house allow'd him an yearly pension to keep him from the con∣tempt of the world: In which condition he now lives, in his old age, in a skirt of the City of Oxon unregarded. He hath extant certain compositions in a book entit.—Cantica Sacra: Containing Hymns and Anthems for two voices to the Organ, both Latin and Eng∣lish. Lond. 1674. fol. As also in The Latine Psalmes and Hymns of four parts, published by Joh. Playford. His compositions for instru∣mental Musick, whether in two, three, or four parts have been highly valued, and were always, 30 years ago or more, first called for, taken out and played as well in the publick Musick school as in private Chambers: and Dr. Wilson the Professor, the greatest and most curious Judge of Musick that ever was, usually wept when he heard them well perform'd, as being wrapt up in an extasie, or, if you will, melted down, while others smil'd or had their hands and eyes lifted up, at the excellency of them, &c. But now lets go on with the admissions.

Dec. 1. Thom. Waterhouse Doct. of Phys. of Leyden—He was a Londoner born, and had the degree of Dr. of the said fac. confer'd on him at Leyd. 1655.

Dec. 17. Rob. Morison of Ʋniv. Coll, Dr. of Phys. of Angers in France—This eminent Botanist was born at, and educated in Acad. learning in, Aberdene in Scotland: From which place he was forced to fly after the battle at Brigg of Dee near Aberdene, wherein Mid∣dleton the General of the Covenantiers was conquerour. Afterwards going to Paris, he was employed in the education of a young Gent. called Monsieur Bizet the Son of a Counsellour, and addicted his mind then to the study of Medicine; for the obtaining of which

faculty he began to learn the art of simpling or knowledge of plants and herbs under one Monsieur Roobin: And in short time making a great progress therein to the wonder of all, he was, upon Roobins recommendations, taken into the service of the D. of Orleans, with whom he continued till that D. died, and in the year 1648 he took the degree of Doct. of Phys. at Angers. At length upon the return of his Majesty K. Ch. 2, an. 1660, he came with him into England, was made his Botanick Professor and Overseer of all his Gardens, and had a garden and a house allowed him, and an ample Salary, but enjoyed it, with his appartment, but for a short time, While he was in that capacity, he was chosen Fellow of the Coll. of Phys. at London, and became highly valued and esteemed for his most ad∣mirable skill in Botany. At length coming to the knowledge and acquaintance of Mr. Obad. Walker Sen. Fel. Master of Ʋniv. Coll, he recommended him to the Dean of Ch. Ch. and other leading men of the University, to be chosen Botanick Professor: Whereupon, by the great testimonies and recommendations of his worth, he was elected on the 16 of Dec. and incorporated Doctor on the day. fol∣lowing, an. 1669 as I have before told you. He made his first en∣trance on the Botanick lecture in the Medicine School, on the 2. of Sept. 1670, and on the 5 of the same month he translated himself to the Physick Garden, where he read in the middle of it (with a table before him) on herbs and plants thrice in a week for 5 weeks space, not without a considerable auditory. In the month of May 1673 he read again, and so likewise in the Autumn following: which course, spring and fall, he proposed always to follow, but was diverted several years by prosecuting his large design of pub∣lishing the Universal knowledge of Simples. He hath written (1) Praeludiorum Botanicorum pars prior, seu Hortus Regius Blaesensis au∣ctus, &c. Lond. 1669. oct. (2) Praelud. Botan. pars secunda, in qua Hallucinationes Casp. Bauhini, & dialogus cum socio Regalis Societa∣ti••. Ibid. eod. an. (3) Plantarum umbelliferarum distributio nova per tabulas cognationis & affinitatis, ex libro naturae observata & dete∣cta. Oxon. 1672 fol. A laudable account of this book is in the Philos. Transact. num. 81. (4) Plantarum Historiae Ʋniversalis Oxo∣niensis pars secunda. Se•• Herbarum distributio nova, per tabulas cog∣nationis & affinit••tis ex libro naturae observata & detecta. Oxon. 1681 fol, adorned with many cuts. The author designed to go forward, with one or more volumes, but being suddenly cut off, the work ceased. However there is now in the press at Oxford a Vol. in fol. in continuance or pursuit of the said last Vol. of Dr. Mo∣ryson, written by Jacob Bobart keeper of the Phys. Garden in Oxon, with Annotations thereunto of the Eastern names by Dr. Tho. Hyde chief keeper of the Bodleian Library. After which is done, there will come out another Vol. of Trees by the same hand. This Dr. Morison, who was esteemed the best in the world for his profession, taking a journey from Oxon to Lond. and Westm. in order for the carrying on his great designs of publishing one or more Volumes of Plants, did, when in Westminster, receive •• bruise on his breast by the pole of a Coach, as he was crossing the street between the end of S. Martins-lane and Northumberland house near Charing cross, on the ninth day of Novemb. 1683: whereupon being soon after car∣ried to his house in Green-street in Leycester fields, died the next day to the great reluctancy of all those that were lovers and admirers of his faculty. Afterwards he was buried in the Church of S. Mar∣tin in the Fields within the liberty of Westminster.

Creations.

The Creations this year were in all the four faculties, occasion'd mostly by the dedication of the Theater, and the coming to the University of the Duke of Ormonde.

Mast. of Arts.

Edw. 3.) was the first so created by K. Edw. 3. This James Duke of Ormonde was L. Lieutenant of Ireland in the time of K. Ch. 1. of blessed memory, where he performed great things for his cause, and afterwards did constantly adhere to K Ch. 2. in the tedious time of his calamitous exile. Afterwards, for these his loyal actings and sufferings, he was by his Majesty, after his restau∣ration, made L. Lieutenant of Ireland, and advanced to honours and places in England, as before 'tis told you. At length in the latter end of Nov. 1682 his Majesty K. Ch 2. was graciously plea∣sed to create him a Duke of this Kingdom of England, by the name and title of James Duke of Ormonde. This most noble person, who was a true Son of the Church of England, a zealous adherer to the Royal cause, and a great lover of the regular Clergy, Univer∣sities and Scholars, hath going under his name several Declarations, Letters, &c. while he was L. Lieutenant of Ireland, and in other capacities engaged there for the cause of K. Ch. 1, as also A Letter in answer to Arthur Earl of Anglesey his Observations and reflections on the E. of Castlehavens Memoirs concerning the rebellion of Ire∣land. Lond. 1682 in 3 sh. in fol. See in Arth. Annesley E. of Angl. among the Writers in this Vol. an. 1686. p. 598.599. He died much lamented at Kingston Hall in Dorsetshire, on Saturday 21. of July 1688 aged 79 years: whereupon succeeded him in his honours his Grandson James Earl of Ossory, Son of his eldest Son Thom. late Earl of Ossory. Afterwards his body was conveyed to Kilkenny in Ireland, and there depo••ted in a vault under part of the Cath. Ch. among his Ancestors.

Philip Stanhope Earl of Chesterfield was created the same day, Jul. 15.—He had before taken for his second Wife Elizabeth Daughter of the said James Duke of Ormonde.

• Rob. Spencer Esq.
• Joh. Evelyn Esq.

The last of these two, who was originally of Ball. Coll, hath writ∣ten many things of great curiosity, and therefore he is hereafter to be numbred among Oxford Writers with honor.

It was then also, (July 15.) granted that Charles Earl of Dunferm∣ling in Scotland and Theobald Earl of Carlingford in Ireland, who ac∣companied the Duke of Ormonde in these parts, might be created Doctors of Law, but whether they were so, it appears not.

Doct. of Phys.

Nov. 2. Elias Ashmole Esq. sometimes of Brasn. Coll, now (1669) chief controller of his Majesties excise in England and Wales was di∣plomated Doct. of Phys.—ab eruditione reconditâ & benevolentia in Academ. propensa nobis charissimus, as it is said in the pub. reg. of the University. He hath written several things, and therefore he is with due respect to be numbred hereafter (as he is partly alrea∣dy) among the Oxford Writers.

Doct. of Div.

Feb. 28. Joh. Durell of Merton Coll. the judicious and laborious Advocate for the Church of England both in word and deed, was then created.

On the 15 of July when the D. of Orm. was created, it was una∣nimously granted by the members of Convocation that Rich. Lin∣gard Dean of Lismore in Ireland, might be admitted to the degree of Doct. of Div, but whether he was so, it appears not. He was now publick Professor of Div. of the University of Dublin, of which he was D. D. and dying at Dublin, was buried in the Chap. of Tri∣nity Coll. there, on the 13 of Nov. 1670. Soon after were publi∣shed An Elegy and funeral Oration on his death: In both which, the last being in Lat. and spoken in the Hall of the said Coll. just be∣fore he was inter'd, may be seen a just character of his great lear∣ning and worth. He was originally of the University of Cambridge, and hath written among other things, A Letter of advice to a young Gentleman, leaving the Ʋniversity, concerning his behaviour and con∣versation in the world. Printed in tw. 1670, &c. The said letter was

written to James Lane of Ch. Ch. in Oxon. eldest Son of Geor. Visc. Lanesborough.

Peter Worm a Dane, son of the great Antiquary Olaus Worm, was a Student this year and after in Oxon, where obtaining several ac∣complishments, became, after his return to his Country, Secretary to the K. of Denmarke, &c.

In the beginning of July, Joh. Rodolph. Westenius and Sebastianus Feschius, both of Basil in Germany, were entred Students in the publick library and continued in Oxon about two years. The first was afterwards Professor of the Greek tongue at Basil, and a pub∣lisher of several noted books, the other also a publisher of certain curious and critical matters, which are now highly valued by Scho∣lars o•• his Country, &c.

Ebbes Church in Oxon: which place he keeping but for a little time, was made Chaplain to Ford Lord Grey of Werke, in whose service he died.

The Creations this year were in all the four faculties, occasion'd mostly by the coming to the University of the Prince of Aurange or Orange.

Mast. of Arts.

Dec. 20. Rich. Lauder of S. Johns Coll, was actually created in a Convocation held in the Theater, while the Prince of Orange sate in a chair of State on the right hand of the Vicechancellour—This noble person was son of Charles Maitland Baron of Haltown in Scot∣land (by his Wife the Daughter and Heir of Lauder) younger Bro∣ther to John Maitland Duke of Lauderdale, and was afterwards Lord Justice Clerk of Scotland, where he was called Lord Maitland so long as his Father Charles was Earl of Lauderdale (for by that title he was known after the said Joh. Maitland Duke of Lauder∣dale died, which was at Tunbridge in Kent on S. Barthelmews day 1682) and after the said Charles his death, which hapned about the ninth day of May an. 1691, the said Richard Lauder became Earl

of Lauderdale, and is now living in Scotland. After him were these persons following created in the said Convocation.

Will. Scharp of Ch. Ch, who was allowed to wear the gown of a Noble man during his stay in the University, was next, after Lau∣der, created.—He was the eldest Son of Dr. James Scharp some∣times Professor of Divinity, and Rector of the University of S. An∣drew, afterwards consecrated Archbishop of S. Andrew in S. Peters Church, commonly called the Abbey Church in Westminster, 15 of Decemb. 1661, at which time were also consecrated Andr. Fairfo••d Minister of D••nce to the Archiepiscopal See of Glascow, James Ha∣milton late Minister of Cambusnethum to the See of Ga••loway, and Rob. Leighton Dean of his Majesties Chappel Royal in Scotland, and late Principal of the Coll. at Edinburgh, to the See of D••mblayne. This most worthy Archbishop Scharp, who is justly characterized to have been Pietatis exemplum, pacis Angelus, sapientiae oraculum, gravitatis imago, &c. was most barbarously murdered, for his fun∣ction sake, near the City of S. Andrew, by a pack of Hell-hounds, enemies to God, Man and all kind of Religion, to the great horror and amazement of all the christian world, on the 3 of May 1679 aged 61 years: whereupon his body was buried in the Cath. Church of S. Andrew, and had soon after put over it a stately monument, with a most noble inscription thereon; the contents of which be∣ing now too large for this place, they shall for brevity sake be omit∣ted.

George Sheild a Scot, Governour to the before mention'd John Lauder.

Andrew Bruce a Scot of an antient family—I have made mention of another Andr••w Bruce among the Incorporations, an. 1660.

Trevor died on the 28 of June 1672 aged 47 years, and was buried in the Church of S. Barthelmew in Smithfield London: whereupon Hen. Coventrie Esq. was sworn Principal Secretary in his place on the 3. of July follow∣ing. The said Sir Joh. Trev••r was Son of another Sir John Trevor of the City of Westminster Kt, who, after he had kept pace with the dominant party in the times of Usurpation, as his said Son had done, (for they were both halters in the Presbyterian Rebellion and adherers to the Usurper) died full of years in the said City, in the Winter time, before the month of Dec. an. 1673.

Besides the aforesaid persons, were then actually created William Tayler, Joh. Dan, Franc. Anshenhurst, Jam Innys, Clem. Dolby, Joh. Mathew and James Waddyng; of all whom I know nothing.

• Febr. 1. Rich. Annesley of Magd. Coll.

These were the Sons of Arthur Earl of Anglesey, and were to have been created, had they not been absent, in the Orangian Creation. I shall make mention of the said Rich. Annesley among the Doct. of Div. an. 1689.

Coll. an. 1665, at which time Joseph Sayer became Minister of Newbury and of Sulham in his own Country of Berks. In the month of May 1670 he became Preb. of Bishopston in the Church of Salisbury, by the death of one Will. Hobbes, and under pretence of being ejected for his loyalty from his Coll, (which is false) he got himself to be put in the roll of those which the Prince of Orange desired to be created, while he was entertain'd at Oxon. About which time, he, by the endeavours of one Say••r his Majesties chief Cook, procured the rich Rectory of North-Church in Hert∣fordshire. He hath published, A Sermon preached at Reading, 25 Feb. 1672 at the Assizes there holden for the County of Berks, &c. on Rom. 13. part of the 5 vers. Lond. 1673. qu. On the 8 of Decemb. 1681 he was installed Archdeacon of Lewes in Sussex, which is all that I hitherto know of him.

Doct. of Law.

Sept. 16. Isaac Vossius Son of the famous Joh. Gerard V••ssius, was then actually created Doct. of the Civil Law, after he had been with great humanity and friendship entertained by some of the chief Heads of Colleges, as his Father had been before, in 1629; much about which time he was installed Canon of Canterbury—This Dr. Vossius was installed Canon of Windsore in the place of Dr. Tho. Viner deceased, 12 May 1673, and dying in his Lodgings in Wind∣sore Castle on the 10 of Feb. 1688, was buried there, leaving then behind him the best private library, as it was then supposed, in the whole world. He hath published several books, the titles of some of which you may see in the Bod••eian catalogue. Several also he wrot while he was at Windsore, among which is his book De Sibyl∣linis aliisque quae Christi natalem praecessere oraculis: Accedit ejusdem responsio ad objectiones nuperae Criticae sacrae, &c. Oxon. 1680. oct.

Decemb. 20. The most illustrious Prince William Henry Nassau Prince of Orange and Nassau, was actually created Doctor of the Civil Law in a Convocation held in the Theater—The rest of his titles you shall have as they stand in the publick register, given into

Vicecomes haereditarius Antwerpiae & Ve∣zantionis, Marescallus haereditarius Hollandiae, Regii ordinis Parisce∣lidis Eques.—This most noble Prince was conducted in his Doctors robes, with a velvet round cap, from the Apodeterium (or Vestry of Convoc.) by the Beadles with their silver staves erected, and chains about their necks, in the company of the Reg. Prof. of the Civil Law: And when he came near to the grades leading up to the Vicechancellours Seat in the Theater, the said Professor, in an hum∣ble posture, presented him with a short speech, the Pr. having his cap on; which being done, the Vicechancellour created him with another, and then descending from his place, he took the Prince by the arme and conducted him up to his chair of state, standing on the right hand of that of the Vicech. at some distance above it. The said Pr. is now King of Engl. by the name of Will. 3.

A little before his entrance into the Theater, the Vicechancellour read the names of certain persons that were then to be created in the four faculties of Arts, Law, Physick and Divinity, which were all or mostly nominated by the Prince and given into the hands of Sir Charles Cotterel Master of the Ceremonies, who gave it into those of the Vicechancellour. The paper or roll contained the names of fifteen to be created Masters of Arts, one to be Bach. of Divinity, eighteen to be Doctors of the Civil Law, (whereof one was incor∣porated) six to be Doctors of Physick and seven to be Doct. of Di∣vinity. After the names were read by the Vicechancellour, and proposed to the Ven. Convocation for their consents, there was a general murmuring among the Masters, not against the Strangers to be created, but some of their own Body. This Creation was cal∣led by some the Orangian Creation, tho not so pleasing to the gene∣rality, as might be wished for. After the Prince was seated, these persons following were created Doct. of the Civ. Law.

Lenthall Speaker of the Long Parliament; and a Captain he was in the regiment of Sir Anth. Ashley Cooper, in the latter end of 1659. After the Kings return he was made a Justice of Peace of Middlesex, of which, as also of his Commission in the Lieutenancy and Service of the Duke of York, he was deprived for a time and committed to the Fleet for abusing the name of Hen. Earl of Arlington. But being soon after restored, upon his submission to the said Count, he became very active in that office, especially against the Priests and Papists, when the Popish Plot was discovered, an. 1678.

Understanding that you have received a present of a gold chain and meddal from Mr. Gibbes Poet Laureat to his Imperial Majesty, I think it will become you to make him some handsome return by sending him a degree of Doctor of Laws or Physick, by a Diploma, or else a letter of thanks, or both, &c.

Botolph Aldgate in Lond, afterwards Chapl. in ord. to his Maj. K. Ch. 2, who bestowing on him the Deanery of Chester upon the death of Dr. Hen. Bridgman B. of the Isle of Man, (who had kept it in com∣mendam with his Bishoprick) was installed therein in July 1682. He hath written (1) Directions concerning matter and stile of Ser∣mons. Printed 1671. in tw. (2) Conjectura circa 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 D. Cle∣mentis Romani. Cui subjiciuntur castigationes in Epiphantum & Peta∣vium de Eucharistia, de Coelibatu Clericorum & de orationibus pro vitâ functis. Lond. 1683. in 4 sh. in qu. In the title of this book he writes himself Jacobus de Ardenna. He hath also published two or more Sermons, as The true Christians character and crown, &c. on Rev. 1.10. Lond. 1671. qu. As also A Sermon at the Visitation of John Bishop of Chester, at Chester, on 2 Tim. 4. ver. 5. latter part. Lond.

Jam. 2, and therefore did suffer several Indignities and Affronts from the Vulgar of and near Chester, when that King withdrew himself into France in Decemb. 1688, he gave way to fate on the 18 of Sept. 1691; whereupon his body was buried in the Cath. Church of Chester on the 22 of the said month. By his Will he bequeathed his books, and chief part of his estate to pro∣vide and maintain a publick Library in the Cath. Church of Chester for the use of the City and Clergy.

Creations.

Aug. 10. James Alban Ghibbes or Gibbes, or as he writes himself in his books Ghibbesius, Poet Laureat to the Emperor, was diplo∣mated Doct. of Physick.—This most celebrated Poet, who was too well known in Rome, had to his Father Will. Gibbes a Native of the City of Bristow, sometimes educated in Brasn. Coll, and after∣wards taking to wife a zealous Catholick named Mary Stoner of the Family of Stoner near Watlington in Oxfordsh, was, by her en∣deavours, as I have heard, drawn over to her Religion. Soon af∣ter they setled in London, but finding not that quiet enjoyment re∣lating to their opinion, which they expected, they went to the Ci∣ty of Roan in Normandy, where this our Poet Laureat was born, an. 1616 or thereabouts, and had the Christian name, at the Font, given him of James Alban, in memory of the great Protomartyr of Engl. S. Alban. Thence, at 9 years of age, he was conveyed into Engl, and spent some time in trivial Literature there, his Fa∣ther being then Physitian to Hen. Maria Queen of Engl. After∣wards he was sent to the English Coll. at S. Omer, where he spent some years, with great advantage, in Academical Learning: And after he had laid a good Foundation there, he travelled thro seve∣ral parts of the Low Countries, Germany, Spain, Italy, &c. and spent some time at Padua under the famous Anatomist Joh. Veslingius. In the latter end of 1644 he setled in Rome, in which year Pope Ʋr∣ban 8. died, and was there received, especially among the English, with great humanity. Soon after, upon the discovery of the worth of the person, he was entertained by Franc. Atestinus Duke of Mo∣dena, to be Tutor to Almeric his son; with whom continuing a∣bout two years, (in which time he was mostly at Modena) he was taken into the Patronage and Family of Bernardin Cardinal Spada Bishop of Fraschatie, called by some Tusculan, with whom living in the quality of Physitian till that Cardinal died, he was ta∣ken into the Protection of Prince Justinian, in whose Pallace he continued till the time of that Prince's death. In 1657 Pope Ale∣xander 7, an encourager of all good Arts, advanced him to the Le∣cturership of Rhetorick, in the School called Sapienza at Rome, in the place of Hen. Chifillius (a person of great name and learning) deceased; Which being worth about 60 l. per an. was a great help to his poetical Muse. About that time he had also a Canonry of S. Celsus bestowed upon him by the said Pope, who having publish∣ed a book of Verses, our Poet Ghibbesius had a copy commendatory set before them. In the year 1667 Leopold the Emperor of Ger∣many, did, by his Diploma dat. 2 of May, constitute and create him his Poet Laureat, and at the same time gave him a gold Chain with a Medal hanging thereunto, to be always worn by him, especially at public and solemn times and in public places. Which great ho∣nour being made known to Pope Clement 9, he was admitted into his presence, kissed his Foot, and was congratulated by him. In 1668 he published his Carminum pars Lyrica ad exemplum Q. Hora∣tii Flacci quamproxime concinnata, printed at Rome in 4 books in oct. They are dedicated to the said Pope Clement 9, and have before them the Author's picture, (shewing him to be a handsome person, as indeed he was) which is supported by the Roman Eagle, with a Laurel in its beak hanging over the Author's head, and under it two verses, made by the famous Athanas. Kircherus (who well knew the vain humour of the Poet) running thus:

Tot pro Ghibbesio certabunt regna, quot urbes Civem Moeoniden asseruêre suum.

At the end of the said four books, is one of Epods dedicated to his dear Mother the English Coll. at S. Omer, and at the end of that is Symphonia Clarorum Virorum ad Ghibbesii Lyram, wherein his hu∣mour, which was much addicted to Flattery and inane Applause, is exactly hit by the Pens of Cardinal Spada, Thom. Farnabie of England, (mention'd among the Writers, p. 53.) Joseph Maria Suares Bishop of Vaison in France, Leo Allatius the famous Jesuit, Claudius Grattus, Thomas the son of Casper Bartolin, Joh, Veslingius a Physitian of Padua, Franc. Angelus Cardinal of Rapacciol, &c. In the year 1670 he being minded to make a present of his gold Chain and Medal to the famous University of Oxon, he wrot a Letter to Dr. Pet. Mews the Vicechancellour thereof, dated at Rome 5 of Apr. the same year, which verbatim runs thus.

'Right rev. Sir,

Having received sundry literary honors from Princes abroad in the space of these last 30 years of my being out of England, but especially from his sacred Imperial Majesty a glorious Diplo∣ma, characterizing me his Poet Laureat, sent me to Rome with a rich Chain and Medal of gold, I have thought to make a solemn consecration of this Cesarean present to the altar of memory and posterity, in the worthiest Temple I could in any place think up∣on. In this resolution I was not long to make a choice, where the head-stone of gratitude like the Chrysomagenes Naturalists speak of, draw to it self, and fix my Golden Fleece. In Brittain's Athena∣••••m then, Oxford, that general Mart of Sciences, as in a Trea∣sury

or Cabinet of Fame, I desire to deposite with an eternal do, dico, dedico, this dear pledge with all my hopes of future renown. What I said of gratitude I would have understood doubly, for my fathers concern of good memory, and mine own particular inte∣rest. He having received, being a Student, his vertuous educa∣tion in Brasen-nose College, and transfus'd part of it into me, it would seem an act of omission unpardonable, did I not profess openly, and correspond in some measure to the great obligati∣ons I owe in both our names to such an Alma Mater, that famous University, from whose abundant streams I had the good fortune to draw some milk. I have been of late in a strange anxiety how to bring my purpose happily to effect. I consulted finally with some Gentlemen, Oxford Scholars, that now are in this City, who unanimously speak your worth and great learning, congratulating with me the good luck I have now to send the present, in your time of Vicechancellour, under whose conduct the matter might find its wished issue. Wherefore, most rev. Doctor, be pleased to think upon a way to inform us particularly, how I am to con∣sign and convey a Donative I so much esteem. I hear there is a fair large Gallery, wherein are kept rarities of Antiquity, Medals and things of that nature. I shall be ambitious of a corner among them.—Mr. Scamen (*) 2.1 my Lord of Northumberland's Secretary hath been pleased to take upon him the conveyance of these lines, who will likewise accompany them with his Letter to you. When you shall honour me with an Answer, I shall send joyntly my book of Lyricks newly printed here, and make an oblation of it to the Library. Now I begin henceforth to wait your commands, ac∣cordingly to govern my self, which I doubt not with your best convenience shortly to receive. In the mean while with low vene∣ration due unto your grand deserts, I kiss your hands, as most re∣verend and learned Sir, Your, &c.

This Letter being received by the Vicechanc. a return of thanks for the present time was made soon after, with direction how to send his present. Afterwards the gold Chain, Medal, Diploma (whereby he was created Poet Laureat) were conveyed by the hands of the Steward belonging to Josselin Earl of Northumberland, (I mean that Earl who died in his Travels at Turin in Savoy, in May an. 1670) who, when he came to London, sending them to Dr. H. Compton Canon of Ch. Ch. in Oxon, he thereupon presented them to the Vicechancellour: At which time the most noble James D. of Ormonde Chanc. of the University, having received an account of this generous gift, he thereupon sent his Letters to the Vicechancellour to make some handsome return for it. Whereupon a Convocation being called, he was declared by a Diploma Doctor of Physick, in the latter end of Febr. 1670. See more among the Creations in these Fasti under that year. But so it was, that the Poet having received little or no notice, especially by writing, how, and with what honour his gift was received, which did much per∣plex him, (for tho the Diploma then passed, yet it was not sealed, much less sent to Rome) he thereupon wrot a Letter to the said Dr. Compton to know the full proceeding of the matter, and what he was to trust to: Whereupon that worthy person, did by his Let∣ter dated 17 Sept. 1672 tell him that

The whole University in Convocation, nemine contradicente, in answer to your noble Pre∣sent, but more to your worth, did vote a Diploma under the Uni∣versity Seal to confer the degree of Doctor of this place upon you, and there is order taken that the best Poets we have, shall endea∣vour to shew how much right they would do you, had they your pen. These things with the Vicechancellours Letter of thanks to you, have been all (except the Verses which were lately finished) about these six months ready to send you* We expect daily from London to have some Ships, &c.

But notwithstanding all this, the Letter, and Diploma for his Creation of Doct. of Phys. being very slow in coming, he wrot ano∣ther Letter to the truly noble and generous Ralph Sheldon of Beoley Esq. (with whom he had been well acquainted when at Rome, and had received of his benevolence) dat. 12 of Aug. 1673, which part∣ly runs thus—

Be pleased to consider what perplexity I am now in, attending this glory from that famous University of Oxford. For now I am setting out a new book, the second part of my Ver∣ses, which I dedicate to the Emperour: and had I that Diploma and Verses promised me, I would insert them conveniently in the Cesarean volume, to be seen and read by the Emperors Majesty, as I have put his Diploma in my book of Lyricks, which I hope makes you sometimes (†) 2.2 think of your humbly obliged Servant. The title of the book is to be this, Carminum Jacobi Albani Ghibbesii Poet. Laur. Caes. altera pars: exhibens, post Lyram Horatii jam vul∣gatam, cothurnum & Soccum aliorum Poetarum in utraque lingua. When this book is printed with all my honors, then will I send it away with my Lyricks to the University, and accompany it with my picture in a frame, by the hand of the late great Master Pietro di Cortono for a perpetual monument of my observancy to the place.—You see now, Sir, in what a posture I stand, ready to fall, unless you'll vouchsafe me with your propping hand, as you have already lent it me with all benignity before, &c. I have had lately another thwart from my Lady Fortune that doth not a little trouble me. I have made an heroick Poem of some 1000 Verses for an Epithalamium upon his Royal Highness James Duke of York, his Marriage with the Dutchess of Inspruck, with a large Comment, and you see what it is come to. I will print it for all that, and dedicate it to an eminent person. Mean time be pleased to re∣ceive

this inclosed Epigram I last made upon the valiant James D. of Monmouth under Mastricht, &c.

But by that time Mr. Sheldon had received the said Letter, the Poet received his Diploma and verses, which, as I conceive, were printed with his Altera pars Carminum, &c. In the Diploma he is stiled Natione noster, magnum plane Britanniarum suarum & orna∣mentum & desiderium, Europaeiorum Principum deliciae, &c. He hath written besides those things before mention'd, these following in prose (1) Orationes & praefationes, &c. (2) Epistolarum selecta∣rum tres centuriae. (3) De Medico libri 3, in imitation of Cicero de Oratore, &c. (4) Pinacocheca Spadia, sive Pontificum Romanorum series; besides Miscellanies and other things, as I have been informed by those that knew the author well, who have farther told me that he was as esurient after fame as Tom. Coryate, was a very conceited man, a most compact body of vanity, so great a lover of flatteries (tho he himself flatter'd none) that he took all whatsoever was said of him to be real, and a great lover of those that sought after, or courted, him; to which I may add that he was the greatest Mi∣mick of his time, which made therefore his company acceptable a∣mong many. He was buried in the Pantheon at Rome, now called S. Maria Rotundo, and by some Allsaints, and soon after was his Bust or Effigies or proportion to the middle, set over his grave, with this inscription following. D. O. M. Jacobus Albanus Ghibbesius Do∣ctor Oxoniensis, Mirum! & unà Catholicus Poeta Laureatus Caesa∣reus pontificius eloquentiae professor emeritus. Anglus origine, natione Gallus, in Ʋrbe omnium Patria mori, in omnium Sanctorum aede con∣di voluit, expectans cum eis non tam memoriae quam vitae perennita∣tem. Obiit sexto Cal. Julii An. Dom.

In the month of June this year came to the University of Oxon from London an Irish man called Anthony Egan a Franciscan Frier, and in the beginning of July following he was entred a Student in the publick Library—This person had lately left the R. Catholick Religion wherein he had been educated and profess'd, and under pretence of suffering for what he had done relating thereunto, came to the University more for the sake of relief than study. And after he had continued there about 4 months, in which time he obtained the charity of 60 l. or more from several Colleges and private per∣sons, he went to Cambridge thinking to obtain there the like sum, and when that was done, to return, as 'twas commonly then re∣ported, to his former religion. Among several things that he hath published are these (1) The Franciscan convert, or a recantation Ser∣mon at S. Maudlins in Old Fish-street Lond. 6. Apr. 1673, on Luke 22.32. Lond. 1673. qu. In the title of this Sermon he writes him∣self Confessor general of the Kingdom of Ireland and Guardian of the Friory of Monasterioris in the Province of Lemster, and Chaplain to several persons of quality of the Popish Religion there. To which Ser∣mon is added A narrative of the behaviour and speeches of the Papists in Ireland since his Majesties declaration of indulgence, &c. (2) The book of rates, now used in the sin custom-house of the Church and Court of Rome; containing the Bulls, Dispensations and Pardons for all manner of villanies and wickednesses, &c. Lond. 1675. &c. qu. In the title of this book he stiles himself Bach. of Div. (3) The Ro∣manists designs detected, and the Jesuits subtile practises discovered and laid open, &c. Lond. 1675. qu.

CREATIONS.

In the month of June, the Sweedish Embassador with other For∣reigners, accompanied by some English men, coming to the Uni∣versity were Creations made in the two faculties of Arts and Civil Law.

Mast. of Arts.

June 27. David Macklier Captain of a prefectorian company be∣longing to the King of Sweedland.

Sam. Monsson Agriconius, Secretary to the extraordinary Embassie from the K. of Sweedland, was created the same day.

Christianus Fredericus, Secretary to the Embassador or Envoy ex∣traord. from the Elector of Brandeburg was also created at the same time.

Doct. of Law.

June 27. The most illustrious and excellent Lord Peter Sparre free Baron in Croneberge, Lord of Nynas, Peuteberg and Tulgarne, General of the Army of Foot belonging to the King of Sweedland, Governour of Elfborglhen and Daal, and extraordinary Embassador to the King of Gr. Britaine from the said King of Sweedland, was with solemnity actually created Doct. of the Civil Law.

The illustrious Lord Otto free Baron of Schwerin, Counsellour of the State of the Elector of Brandeburg, as also of the Hall and Judi∣cial Chamber, Chamberlain and Chieftain of the Province or Coun∣ty of Ruppin, Knight of the order of Johamites and Envoy extraor∣dinary to the King of Gr. Britaine from the said Elector of Brande∣burg, was created the same day.

Sir Joseph Williamson Kt, Mast. of Arts and Fellow of Qu. Coll.—This person, who was a Ministers Son of the County of Cumber∣land, had been Secretary under Sir Edw. Nicholas, and afterwards under Hen. Earl of Arlington while they were Principal Secretaries of State, and on the 24 Jan. 1671 he was sworn one of the Clerks of the Council in Ordinary and Knighted. About that time he was Clerk of the papers, or Keeper of the Paper Office at Whitehall and a Recruiter for Thetford in Norfolk to sit in that Parliament which began at Westm. 8. May 1661. Afterwards he was sent twice in the quality of a Plenipotentiary, once to Holland, and another time to Colen in Germany and after his return, he was sworn Principal Se∣cretary of State (upon the promotion of Henry Earl of Arlington to be Lord Chambe••lain of his Majesties Houshold) and a Privy Coun∣sellour, on the eleventh of Sept. 1674. Both which offices he keep∣ing till Feb. 1678, did, on the 9 of the same month, resign the seals of his Secretaryship into the hands of his Majesty, who forth∣with giving them to Rob. Earl of Sunderland, he was sworn the next day Secretary and Privy Counsellour. This Sir Jos. Williamson (who was then President of the Royal Society) hath been a great Benefactor to his Coll. and may be greater hereafter, if he think fit.

The illustrious Lord Ignatius Vitus Baron ot Vicque, a Colonel of a Regiment of Horse under his Catholick Majesty in Flanders, was created the same day, June 27.—One Ignatius Vitus alias White, second Son of Sir Dominick White of Limerick in Ireland, was created a Baronet on the 29 of June 1677, and, for want of issue male, that title was to descend to his Nephew Ignatius Ma∣ximilian Vitus and to the heirs male of his body. This Sir Ignat. White is the same, as I conceive, with him that was Baron of Vicque.

D. Car. Gabr. de la Salle Eq. Grome of the Chamber to the King of Sweedland, was also then created.

In a Convocation held 30 of May this year, were the Chancel∣lours Letters read in behalf of Sam. Speed formerly a Student, now Canon, of Ch. Ch. to have the degree of Doct. of Div. confer'd on him; but whether he was created or admitted, notwithstanding he had formerly suffer'd for his loyalty, it appears not. On the sixth of the said month of May, this year, he was installed Canon of Ch. Ch. in the place of Dr. Seb. Smith deceased, and dying at Godal∣ming in Surrey, of which he was Vicar, about the 22 of January 1681, Henry Aldrich M. A. and Student of Ch. Ch. was installed Canon in his place, on the 15. of Febr. following. One Sam. Speed a pretender to Poetry, hath written Prison-piety: or meditations divine and moral, &c. Lond. 1677. in tw. and other trivial things, but he is not to be understood to be the same with the former.

In the month of January this year, came to this University, J. Secbaldus Frabricius an old Professor of Heidelberg, who was forced to leave his Country because of the Wars between the Emperour and the King of France. He lived for some time here in a studious condition, had a collection of moneys made throughout the Univer∣sity to relieve his wants: And while he continued among us, he published De unitate Eccles. Britannicae Meditationes Sacrae. Oxon. 1676 oct, and wrot and drew up another book entit. Dissertatio Historica Dionis Cassii Scriptoris Graec. Selectiora Commata. &c. Lond. 1678. oct.

June 8. Joh. Knight of New Inn—He afterwards was made Vi∣car of Banbury in Oxfordshire, upon the removal thence of Richard Knight sometimes Proctor of the University of Oxon to a good Par∣sonage in Worcestershire, and was author of The Samaritan Rebels perjur'd by a Covenant of Association, in a Sermon at the Assizes held at Northampton, 30 March 1682, on Hosea 10, the former part of the 4th. vers. Lond. 1682 qu. He is a good Scholar, very loyal and of good name and esteem where he lives, and might have been Preb. of Linc. which he much deserves, had not Dr. B. Bish. thereof shew'd him a Dog-trick.

Nov. 23. Jam. Parkinson of Linc. Coll.

Jan. 19. Joh. Massey or Measey of Mert. Coll.—This person, who was originally of Ʋniv. Coll, was one of the Proctors of the University in 1684, and then, and after, did not look for, or expect, preferment. At length, after K. Jam. 2. came to the Crown, he was, by the endeavours of Mr. Obad. Walker Master of Ʋniv. Coll, advanced by his Majesty (on the death of Dr. Fell) to the Deanery of Ch. Ch. in Oxon, about the middle of Octob. 1686. Whereupon renouncing his religion for that of Rome (which he was so to do, be∣fore he could be setled in it) he received the Patent for it on his bended knees from his Majesty on the 19 of Decemb. and on the 29 of the same month 1686, he was installed in that Dignity in his own person. Afterwards he set up and furnished a Chappel for the R. Cath. use in Canterbury Quadrangle within the Precincts of Ch. Ch, and was put into the Commission of Peace for the County of Oxford. At length upon the arrival of the Prince of Orange in the West parts of England, and the committing thereupon by the Mobile great outrages in several parts of the Nation on R. Catholicks and their Houses, the said Mr. Massey did, to avoid them, (together with Mr. Thom. Deane a R. C. Fellow of Ʋniv. Coll.) withdraw himself privately, before break of day, on the 30 of Nov. 1688, went to London, and there continued privately till an opportunity carried him over the Sea to France, where, I think, we may now leave him.

CREATIONS.

June 2. The most illustrious Pr. John William Prince of Neoburg (Son of the Duke of Neoburg) Count Palatine of the Rhine, Duke of Bavaria, Giuliers, Cleve and of Mons, Count or Earl of Val∣dentia, Spinhim la Mark, Ravensberg and Moers, Lord in Raven∣stein, &c. was actually created Doctor of the Civil Law—He was conducted bare-headed in his Doctors robes, from the Apodyterium into the Convocation House, with the Beadles marching before, and the Kings Professor of Law with, him, the Vicechanc. then, with the Doctors and Masters standing bare: And being come to the middle of the Area, the said Professor presented him with a short speech, which being done, the Vicech. created him with another. Afterwards he was conducted to his seat of State on the right hand of the Vicechancellour, and then the Dep. Orator, who stood on the other side near to the Registraries desk, complemented him with another speech in the name of the University. All which being done he was conducted by the Vicechanc. Doctors and Masters to the Theater, where being placed in another seat of state on the right hand of the Vicechancellours chair, he was entertained by the Mu∣sick professor with vocal and instrumental Musick, from the Musick gallery. This Prince was then about 18 years of age, and had ta∣ken a journey into England purposely to pay his respects to the Lady Mary, the eldest Daughter of James Duke of York: And after he had seen most of the rarities in the publick Library, several of the Colleges, Physick Garden, &c. the Vicechancellour Dr. Bathurst, Dr. Fell, and other Doctors, made a present to him at his departure of Hist. & Antiquitates Univ. Oxon, with Cuts, in two Volumes, very fairly bound.

June 23. Henry Justell Secret, and Counsellour to the most Chri∣stian King, was diplomated Doctor of the Civil Law—He was a most noted and learned man, and as the publick regist. saith non mo∣do omni scientiarum & virtutum genere per se excelluit, verum etiam Parentis optimi & eruditissimi Christop. Justelli doctrinam & merita, ornando atque excolando, sua fecit. He had given several choice Mss. to the publick Library, and had sent by Mr. George Hicks of Linc. Coll. (who became acquainted with him at Paris) the Original Ms. in Greek of the Canones Ecclesia Ʋniversalis, put out by his Father Christopher, which is at this time in the publick Library. What this eminent author Hen. Justell hath written and published the printed Cat. belonging to that Library, commonly called Oxford Catalogue, will tell you.

• Nov. 10. Thaddeus Lantman diplomated Doct. of Div.
• Nov. 10. Joh. Woolnove diplomated Doct. of Div.

These two persons were Ministers at the Hague, and having been represented by the Prince of Orange to be persons of good esteem in

Holland, for their preaching, learning and prudence, and for the great veneration they had, and have, for the Church of England, were upon those accounts recommended to the Chanc. of the Uni∣versity, and by Henry Earl of Arlington (lately in Holland) to the Vicechanc. and Convocation for their degrees.

Jan. 26. Hippolytus du Chastlet de Luzancy of Ch. Ch. was actu∣ally created Master of Arts—This Divine, who made a great noise in his time, was the Son (a) 2.3 of a famous common Woman named Beauchasteau a Player belonging to the Hostel de Burgoyn at Pa••is, and educated in the University there, as I shall tell you by and by. Afterwards he became (b) 2.4 Usher, or Regent of the fifth form a∣mong the Fathers of the Christian Doctrine at Vitry, then lived a∣mong the Monks at Vendosme, and a little after in the service of a Bishop, then in the Abbey of Trape, next with another Prelate, and at length a Preacher errant, here and there, but chiefly at Montdi∣dier in Picardy, where counterfeiting the name of Luzancy, by a bill signed with that name, he cheated the Damoizele Carti••r of a piece of money. So that by that and other pranks, which expos'd him to the pursuit of Justice, he left France, went into England by the (c) 2.5 name of De la March (which he quitted about a month after his arrival) and at length to London without (d) 2.6 clothes, without shoes, without money, and without any recommendation from France. Soon after upon his own word, and at the instance of some who so∣licited in his behalf, he was permitted to get into the Pulpit at the Savoy within the liberty of Westminster, not only to declare the motives of his conversion, but his abjuration from, and abhorrency of, the Roman Catholick Faith, which was solemnly done on the eleventh of July an. 1675. The discourse he made, and which he delivered with much boldness, gained him the esteem of his Audi∣tors, who for the most part charm'd with his eloquence, and full of compassion for his misery, soon cast about to put him into a condi∣tion of appearing in a decent habit and subsisting. After this he was much favoured by some, and as much hated by the Roman Catho∣licks, particularly by St. Germaine a Jesuit in London, who pretend∣ing to assassinate him, as Luzancy gave out, was a Proclamation issued forth for his protection, and the taking of S. Germaine to bring him to condign punishment, After this, Luzancy's advancement being powerfully carried on, the B. of London took care to have him ordained, with a design of putting him in a condition of be∣coming one day a great Defender of the Church of England: All which being done in a hurry, 'twas to little purpose for the Pastors and several Masters of Families of the Church at the Savoy to cry out against. But while these things were in doing, a Minister of the Church of England belonging to the French Church at the Sav••y named Rich. du Marescq, full of zeal to the truth, printed a Ser∣mon which he had preached during these bustles, and in the preface to it doth give a true and just character of Luzancy, not for his good∣ness, but baseness, lying, dissimulation, &c. Which Serm. and Pref. as soon as they appeared in publick, the B. of London caused all the copies to be seized, and the author to be cited to the Bish. Court, interdicted the function of his charge, because he refused to ask God forgiveness, his neighbour, the Church, his Superior, and to sign and seal a Declaration, and at length openly suspended him for reasons reserved to the Bishop and his Officers. After he had continued in that condition for some time, he was at the intreaties of Dr. Jo. Durell and Monsieur Ruvigny (who had a mind to oblige the Bishop) restored to the exercise of his charge upon a bare ac∣knowledgment that he was in the wrong to print his preface with∣out license from his Superior, or any else in authority, &c. After the following Christmas, our author Luzancy went, to Oxford; where, by vertue of several Letters of commendation, he was re∣ceived into Ch. Ch. by the Dean there, had a Chamber allowed to him, and such diet that belongs to Master-students, at the charge, I think, of the Bishop of London. On the 26 of Jan. following, there was a Convocation of Doctors and Masters celebrated, where∣in the Letters of the Duke of Ormonde Chanc. of the University (dat. 2. Dec.) were publickly read in his behalf, which partly run thus—

This Gentleman Monsieur Luzancy was bred in the Uni∣versity of Paris in the Romish religion, but having lately professed himself a member of the Church of England, and given some te∣stimonies of his adherence thereunto, has made it his humble re∣quest for his encouragement, to be recommended to the Universi∣ty for their favour in conferring upon him the degree of Master of Arts—He has not his Testimonials from the University of Paris of the degree he took there, but I doubt not, when you shall dis∣course with him, you'll find him a person meriting that favour, &c.

After the reading of that Letter, Luzancy by the consent of the House was then actually created M. of A, as I have before told you. About the time of Easter, in the beginning of Apr. 1676, was spread a∣broad by certain R. Catholicks a Pamphlet entit. A Letter from a Gentleman at Lond. to his friend in the Country, &c. Printed at Lond, in two sheets and an half in qu: wherein are some of Luzancy's actions represented while he was in France, but more while he was in England, the Bishop of London and Dr. Franc. Durant de Brevall Preb. of Westm. and Rochester, (sometimes a Capuchin Fryer.) re∣flected on severely, and many things said, which doth invalidate the K. Proclamation before mention'd. At length some of the dispersers of that Pamph. it being discovered, particularly Will. Rogers of Linc. Inn a zealous Proselyte for the R. Cath. cause, he was seized on by a Messenger and brought before the Kings Council in Aug. follow∣ing; from whom receiving several checks and threatnings was at

length released. In the latter end of 1679, Luzancy left the Uni∣versity, having before borrowed a considerable sum of money of one of the Chapl. of Ch. Ch. (P. B.) for whom he pretended kind∣ness, but he minding not the payment of, he was sued for, it by Law. At the same time he became, by the favour of the Bishop of London, Vicar of Dover-Court in Essex, to the Church of which place the Town of Harwich belongs; so that he was Vicar of that also, as well as of Dover-Court. Soon after, to prevent an unchast life, he married a Gentlewoman in those parts, where he was lately (perhaps still) living. He hath written and pub. (1) Serm. on the day of his abjuration at the Savoy, 11. July 1675, on Joh. 8.32. Lond. 1675 qu. in French. Translated into English—Lond. 1676. qu. (2) Re∣flections on the Council of Trent. Oxon. 1677. oct. (3) Treatise against irreligion. Lond. 1678. oct.

The first, who was Professor and Superintendent at Lubeck, wrot one or more books against the Socinians and other things Besides them were also So∣journours Paul Bauldrey a Frenchman of note, and Joh. Wandalinus of Copenhagen in Denmark, both learned men: the first of which hath written notes on Lanctantius de morte Persecutorum, &c; and the other (who was afterwards Professor of Div. at Copenhagen) De esu sanguinis, &c.

Mar. 1677, who enjoying it till the beginning of the year 1682 Will. Halton M. A. of Qu. Coll. was elected thereunto, about the 7 of April the same year. After his time was expir'd (for he that is Professor enjoyeth the Lecture but for 5 years) Joh. Barnard M.A. of Brasn. Coll. was elected thereunto, 28. Mar. 1687, by vertue of the Mandamus of K. Jam. 2, dated on the first of January going be∣fore. After his removal thence for being a Papist, (tho since re∣turn'd to his former opinion) which was after the said King left England, Will.

Afterwards he took upon him a spiritual cure, and the edu∣cation of a youth of noble extraction, but instead of taking the de∣gree of Bach. of Div, (in order to which he had the Chancellours Letters) he with much ado obtained that of Master. He hath pub∣lished The wisdom of publick piety, discoursed in a Sermon at Guild∣hall Chap. on Jam. 3.13. Lond. 1679. qu. He died about 1680. Nearly related to him was that forward, vain and conceited per∣son named Will. Sermon, who wrot himself Doctor of Physick and Physitian in ord. to his Maj. K.

Incorporations.

July 6. Will. Howell, or as he writes himself Hoëlus, Doct. of the Civil Law of Cambridge—He was educated in Magd. Coll. in the said University, of which he was Fellow, was afterwards Tutor to John Earl of Mulgrave, and at length Chancellour of the Diocess of Lincolne. He hath written (1) An institution of general History from the beginning of the world to the monarchy of Constantine the Great. Printed 1661. oct. In this work the Reader may, without any intervening matters impertinent to his present purpose, read the History of any Empire or Kingdom contemporary to it, by it self. The principal passages in all of them are linked together by Synchro∣nisms, not only placed in the Margin, but in the beginning or end of every occurrence. This book, which was afterwards put into latine by the author, for the use of the said Earl, entit. Elementa Hi∣storiae ab orbe condito usque ad Monarchiam Constantini magni, &c. Lond. 1671. in a thick tw. was increased to two folio's—Lond. 1680. and afterwards had three remaining parts of it published in 1685. 6. (2) Medulla Historiae Anglicanae. Being a comprehensive History of the lives and raigns of the Monarchs of England. From the time of the invasion thereof by Julius Caesar, to the death of K. Ch. 2, with an abstract of the lives of the Rom. Emperours commanding in Britain. There have been several editions of this book to the great benefit of the Bookseller that printed it. One came out in 1679, with the addition of A list of the names of the H. of Com. then sit∣ting, and a list of his Majesties Privy Council, &c: And in 1687 the third edit. of it was published in oct. with a continuation from the year 1678 to 1684 by a great favourer of the Roman Catholicks. There is no name set to this Medulla Hist. Angl. only report makes Dr. W. Howell the author, and upon that report, I presume here to set it down under his name. He hath without doubt other things extant, but such I have not yet seen, and therefore I can only now say that he died in the beginning of the year 1683. One William Howell Minister of Tuttleworth in Sussex hath published A Sermon at the Bishop of Chichesters first Visitation. Lond. 1675. 6. qu. but whe∣ther

he was of this, or of the University of Cambridge, I cannot yet tell.

This year were 28 Masters of Arts of Cambridge incorporated after the Act, on the 11 of July, among whom were

Thom. Lynford of Christs Coll.—He had been lately the ingeni∣ous Prevaricator of Cambridge, was afterwards Rector of S. Edm. Lumbardstreet in London, D. of D, Chapl. in ord. to their Majesties K. Will. 3. and Qu. Mary, &c. author of three or more Sermons, and of four discourses against Popery in the time of K. Jam. 2. &c.

As for the rest that were then incorporated, I cannot yet find one of them to be a Writer or Bishop.

Sim. Digby M. A. of Trin. Coll. near Dublin was incorporated the same day, Jul. 11.—He was son of Essex Digby Bish. of Dromore. See in the Creations under the year 1677. Besides these, were two Bach. of Div. of Cambr. incorporated, but neither of them was then or afterwards a Writer, or afterwards a Bishop.

Creations.

Apr. 5. Steph. Le Moine one of the ordinary Preachers to the re∣formed Congregation of Roan in Normandy, lately advanced by the Prince of Orange to the supreme Chair of the Theological Faculty in the Univ. of Leyden, was declared in Convocation Doct. of Div, by vertue of the Letters of the Chanc. of the University, and on the eleventh of the same month he was diplomated, he being then in the University, and well known to be one who had upon all occasions testified his great affections and zeal for the Ch. of England. He hath written some things, which I have not yet seen.

Jun. 22. Andrew Sall lately a Jesuit, was actually created Doct. of Div.—He was born in the County of Tipperary in Ireland, edu∣cated from his Childhood in the Roman Faith; and when he was in his riper years, he entred into the Society of Jesus. Afterwards he became Professor of Divinity in the Colleges of Pamplona, Po∣lencia, and Tudela in Spain, Rector and Professor of Controversies in the Irish Coll. of the University of Salamanca, Professor of Mo∣ral Theology in the Coll. of the Soc. of Jesus in the same Univer∣sity. At length he being sent on the Mission into Ireland, he was in his elder years, by the unspeakable Constancy and indefatiga∣ble Charity, as also solid Doctrine and Example of the pious and upright Life of Dr. Tho. Price Archb. of Cashells or Cashiels gained to the Church of England. In testimony of which he made a pub∣lic declaration on the 17 of May 1674, before the said Archbishop, Hugh Bishop of Waterford, and others, in the Church of S. John in the City of Cashel. On the 5 of Jul. following, he preach'd a Ser∣mon in Ch. Ch. in Dublin before Arthur Earl of Essex L. Lieutenant of Ireland and the Council there, in detestation of the Church of Rome and its Doctrine, and about the same time he became Chap∣lain to the said L. Lieut, and had preferment there bestowed on him. In the latter end of July or thereabouts, an. 1675, he came to Oxon, and, by Letters of Commendation, was not only recei∣ved into Wadh. Coll, where he continued for some months, but af∣terwards actually created (not incorporated) D. of D. as before I have told you, and in the Act following (as in that in 1677) he shew'd himself a smart Disputant in the Theological Vespers, being then domestick Chaplain to his Majesty and dignified in Wales. After he had remained in the said Coll. and in an House in Haly∣well adjoyning, for some time, in a weak and sickly condition, he, by the favour of Dr. Fell, removed to convenient Lodgings in the Cloyster at Ch. Ch. near the Chaplains Quadrangle, where he re∣mained about two years. In 1680 he went into Ireland to live upon his Preferments there, which were a Prebendary of Swords, the Rectory of Ard-Mulchan, and the Chantorship of Cashels, where he continued in a weak condition till the time of his death. He hath writen and published (1) Declaration for the Church of Eng∣land. (2) Sermon preached at Ch. Ch. in Dubl. before the L. Lieu, and Council 5 Jul. 1674, on Matth. 24.15.16.17.18. Dubl. 1674—. oct. After these two things were published, came out The doleful fall of Andr. Sall, a Jesuit of the fourth vow, print. in oct. 1674, and The un-erring and un-errable Church, in answer to the said Sermon.—Pr. 1675. oct. &c. (3) The Catholic and Apostolic Faith main∣tained in the Church of England; being a Reply to several books pub∣lished under the names of J. E. N. N. and J. S. against his Declara∣tion for the Church of England, and against the Motives for the Se∣paration from the Rom. Church, declared in a printed Sermon which he preached in Dublin. Oxon. 1676. oct. &c. (4) Votum pro pace Christianâ, quâ exponuntur & amoventur praecipua obstacula pacis per Romanae Ecclesiae Ministros objecta, & ostenditur quam immerito pa∣cem respiciant cum reliquis Christianis Ecclesiis, praecipue vero cum Anglicanâ. Oxon 1678. qu. (5) Ethica, sive moralis Philosophia ex veterum & recentiorum sententiis ad disputationem juxta ac concio∣nem totiusque vitae humanae usum congruo ordine & rerum apparatu concinnata. Oxon. 1680. oct. He paid his last debt to nature on the sixth day of Apr. an. 1682, aged 70 years or thereabouts, and was buried in the Cath. Ch. of S. Patrick near Dublin; leaving then behind him A body of Philosophy, which he designed, if he had lived, to publish.

July 11. Rob. Digby Baron of Geashill in Ireland, lately of Magd. Coll, now of Coleshull in Warwicksh, was actually created M. of A.

The Reader may be pleased now to know that whereas Francis Junius had spent much time in Oxon in his younger years for the sake of study, Libraries and Conversation of learned men, as also in his elderly years in 1658 and 59; he did retire to Oxon in the month of Octob. this year, purposely to dye there, give his MSS. and Collections to the publ Libr. where he had spent much time, and to have his bones laid in some Church or Chappel in Oxon. He came for the sake of Dr. Thom. Marshall Rector of Linc. Coll. a great Critick in the Gothick and Saxon Languages, as Junius was,

from whom Marshall had formerly received instruction as to those studies, and taking up his Lodging against the said Coll. he began to put his Collections in order; but being troubled by often Vi∣sits, he removed his Quarters to an obscure house in Beefhall lane in S. Ebbes Parish, where he digested some notes for the Press, and made a deed of gift of his MSS. and Collections to the publ. Libr. He continued there till Aug. 1677, at which time he went, upon the earnest invitation of his Nephew Dr. Is. Vossius, to Wind∣sore, and continued for a time in good health and cheerfulness there and near it. At length being overtaken with a Fever, died of it in his said Nephews house near Windsore, on Munday the 19 of Novemb. 1677; whereupon his body was conveyed to Windsore and buried in the Chap. or Church of S. George within the Castle there. In the year following was a table of white marble fix'd to the wall near his grave, with this inscription thereon. M. S. Francisco Junio, Francisci Junii Biturig is filio, nobilitate generis, integritate morum & omnigenâ doctrina, conspicuo viro; nato Heidelbergae anno salutis MDLXXXIX, qui per omnem aetatem, sine quaerelâ aut injuriâ cujusquam Musis tantum & sibi vacavit. Ʋniversitas Oxoniensis, cui scripta & monumenta laboris sui moriens pene nonagenarius commisit, in grati animi significationem lubens meritoque titulum posuit, an. MDCLXXVIII. The titles of some of the books that he published you may see in the Bodleian or Oxf. Catalogue.

To this learned person I must add another of less name (much noted in his time, but since not, for the art and fac. of Poetry) who had spent about eight years in Oxen, partly in custody, but mostly in liberty and freedom in the public Library, and conver∣sation with ingenious Scholars. The Anagram of his sirname is Benevolus, given to him by Flatterers and Pretenders to Poetry for his Benevolence to them. His Christian Name was Edward, Son and heir of Andr. Bendlowes Esq, Son of W••ll. Bendlowes Esq, Son and heir of Andrew Bendlowes Serjeant at Law, &c. all Lords of Brent Hall and of other Lands in Essex, but descended from those of their name of Bendlowes in Yorkshire. When he was young he was very carefully educated in Grammar learning, and when at about 16 years of age he became a Gent. Com. of S. Johns Coll. in Cambridge, to which he was afterwards a Benefactor. Thence he was sent to travel with a Tutor or Guide, and having rambled thro several Countries and had visited seven Courts of Princes, he returned a most accomplished person as to behaviour and dis∣course, yet ring'd with Romanism: But being a very imprudent man in matters of worldly concern, and ignorant as to the value or want of money, he did, after he was invested in his Estate at Brent hall and elsewhere, which amounted to seven hundred, some say a thousand, pounds per an. make a shift, tho never married, to squander it mostly away on Poets, Flatterers, (which he lo∣ved) in buying of Curiosities (which some call'd Baubles) on Mu∣sitians, Buffoones, &c. He also gave from his said Estate a large Portion with a Neice who was married to one Blount of Maple∣durham in Oxfordshire Esq, supposing thereby that so long as they lived he should not want, but the case being otherwise, he lived afterwards in a mean condition. He also very imprudently en∣tred himself into Bonds for the payment of other mens debts; which he being not able to do, he was committed to prison in Oxford, which was the matter that first brought him thither; but being soon after released, he spent the remainder of his days there in stu∣dies, till the time of his death. This person, who was esteemed in his younger days a great Patron of Poers, especially of Franc. Quarles, Will. D'avenant, Payne Fisher, &c. who had either dedica∣ted books, or had written Epigrams and Poems on him, hath seve∣ral things (whereby he hath obtained the name of a Divine Author) extant; among which are these (1) Sphinx Theologica, seu Musi∣ca Templi, ubi discordia concors. Camb. 1626. oct. (2) Theophila, or Loves Sacrifice. A divine Poem. Lond. 1652. fol. with his picture before it. Several parts thereof had Aires set to them, or were fitted for Aires by the incomparable Musitian Job. Jenkyns, who had been favoured much and patronized by Benevolus. A whole Canto of this Theophila, consisting of above 300 verses, was turn'd into elegant Latin Verse in the space of one day by that great pro∣digy of early parts John Hall of Durham (mentioned in the first vol. p. 455.) having had his tender affections ravish'd with that divine piece. (3) Summary of divine Wisdome. Lond. 1657. qu. (4) A glance at the glories of sacred friendship. Lond. 1657, print∣ed on one side of a large sheet of paper. (5) De sacra Amicitia. Printed with the former in Lat. verse and prose. (6) Threnothri∣ambeuticon. Or Latine Poems on K. Ch. 2. his restauration. Lond. 1660, pr. on a side of a large sheet of paper. Some he caused to be printed on white Sattin, a copy of which, in a frame sutable to it, he gave to the public Library at Oxon. (7) Oxonii Encomium. Ox. 1672. in 4 sh. in fol. It is mostly in Lat. verse. (8) Oxonii Elogia. Oxon 1673. on one side of a large sh. of paper. They consist of 12 Stanzaes, and afterwards follow 1. Oxonii Elegia. 2. Academicis se∣renitas. 3. Academ. temperantia. 4. Studiosis cautela, and other things. (9) Magia Coelestis. Oxon 1673. 'Tis a Lat. Poem pr. on one side of a large sh. of paper. These three last, under the 7.8. and 9 heads, were, with other things, composed at Oxon, while he was conversant there. He hath also a Mantissa to Rich. Fenns Panegyricon inaugurale, intit. De celeberrima & florentiss. Trinobantiados Augustae civ. Praetori reg. senatui populo{que}. Lond. 1637 qu. In the title of which Mr. Bendl. stiles himself Turmae equestris in Com. Essex praefectus. He hath other things extant, which I have not yet seen, and therefore I shall only tell you, that after he had been courted and admired for his antient Extraction, Education and Parts by great men of this Nation, and had been a Patron to several ingenious men in their necessities, and by his generous mind, void of a prudential foresight, had spent

a very fair Estate without keeping little or any thing to support him, did spend his last days at Oxon, but little better than in obscure condition: in which, for want of conveniencies required fit for old age, as Clothes, Fewel, and warm things to refresh the body, he marched off in a cold season, on the 18 of Decemb. at eight of the clock at night, an. 1676, aged 73 years or more: Whereupon, by a collection of money among certain Scholars, who knew what he had been, he was decently buried with Escocheons in the north isle or alley joyning to the body of S. Maries Ch. in Oxon, near to the door that leads thence into Adam Brome's Chappel. In his younger years he was esteemed a Papist, or at least Popishly affected; but being drawn off from that Opinion in his elderly years, he would take occasion oftentimes to dispute against Papists and their Opini∣ons, (which was not at all acceptable to his Nephew and Neice Blount before mentioned, which was the cause that his room, ra∣ther than company, was desired by them) and could not endure any person that seemed to favour the Opinions of Arminius or So∣cinus. His picture now hangs in the Gallery belonging to the pub∣lic Library at Oxon.

This year one Joh. Wulferus of Nuremberg became a Sojourner in Oxon for the sake of the public Library, went to his own Coun∣try, became a Professor, and published Secalim and other Talmudical Authors in Hebrew and Latin.

Incorporations.

May 14. Walt. Leightonhouse Bac. of Art of Magd. Coll. in Cambr.—He was soon after elected Fellow of Linc. Coll. See among the Masters in 1679.

After the conclusion of the Act, were 23 Mast. of Arts of Cambr. incorporated Jul. 10, among which was

Aylett Sams of Christs Coll.—This person published under his own name—Britannia antiqua illustrata: or the Antiquities of anti∣ent Britaine, deriv••d from the Phoenicians: Wherein the original trade of this Island is discovered, the names of Places, Offices, Dignities, as likewise the Idolatry, &c. are clearly demonstrated from that Nation, many old monuments illustrated, &c. Together with a chronological Hi∣story of this Kingdom, from the first traditional beginning, until the year of our Lord 800, when the name of Britaine was changed into England, &c. Lond. 1676. vol. 1. fol. An account of this book is in the Philosophical Transactions, num. 124. p. 596, wherein tho the Author of them Mr. Oldenburg doth stile Mr. Sams the learned and curious Ʋndertaker of that great work, yet the common report then was, that not he, but his quondam Uncle was the Author; and to confirm it, was his great ignorance in matters and books of An∣tiquity. I was several times in his company when he spent some weeks this year in Oxon, and found him to be an impertinent, gir∣ning and pedantical Coxcomb, and so ignorant of Authors, that he never heard of, before I mention'd it to him, of the great Anti∣quary Joh. Leland, or of his printed or manuscript Works, nor any thing of Baleus, nor could he give any account of Authors that are quoted in the said Britannia antiqua illustrata, &c. He died in the year 1679 or thereabouts, perhaps in the Inner Temple where he had a Chamber, but where buried I know not, nor is it material to be informed, I find one Rob. Aylett Mast. of Arts of Cambridge to be incorporated at Oxon, an. 1608. Quaere whether he was his Uncle.

Creations.

The most noble James Duke of Ormonde Chancellor of the Uni∣versity coming to Oxon in the beginning of Aug. this year, where he was splendidly entertained by the Academians with Treats in several Colleges and Speeches in the Theater, it was his desire that there should be a Creation of Doctors of the Civil Law, and a Creation of two persons in Divinity. Those that were created in the former faeulty, which was on the sixth day of Aug. in the The∣ater, were these.

Doct. of Law.

Richard Boteler Earl of Arran in Ireland and Baron Boteler of We∣ston in Huntingdonshire in England, second son of James Duke of Ormonde.—This noble and courageous person, who had done good service against the Rebels at Carickfergus in Ireland, and in that perilous Sea-sight against the Dutch, when James D. of York, was Ge∣neral at Sea (for which and other Services he was made Baron of Weston) died on the 26 of Jan. 1685. Whereupon his body was deposited in the same Vault in the Abbey Church at Westminster, where that of his elder brother Thom. E of Ossory, and their mother Elizab. Dutchess of Ormonde had been laid: which Dutchess died in her house in S. James's Square within the Liberty of Westminster, on the 21 of July 1684. But whether their bodies were afterwards removed to Kilkenny in Ireland, there to be deposited in the Vault among the bodies of the Ormondian family, I know not as yet.

Sir Edw. Scott Kt.

Sir Rob. Southwell Kt.—This most worthy and accomplish'd per∣son, who was son of Rob. Southwell of Kinsale in the County of Cork in Irel. Esq, Vice-Admiral of Mounster and of the Privy Council there, (descended from the antient family of his name in Norfolk) was born in Kinsale, educated in Queens Coll. in this University (where he was Bach. of Arts) and afterwards became a Barrister of Linc. Inn On the 27 of Sept. 1664 he was sworn one of the Clerks of his Majesties Privy Council, and on the 20 of Nov. 1665 he received the honour of Knighthood from his Majesty, being then accounted a Gent. of known worth and abilities, and fitted every way for the Service of his Majesty, who then thought good to give him the character of his Envoy extraordinary to the King of Portu∣gal, whether he was to go in few days after. In the latter end of Octob. 1671 he was sent Envoy extraordinary to Count de Monte∣rey Governour or Vice-Roy for his Catholick Maj. of the Spanish

Netherlands, and in the beginning of Decemb. 1679, (the Presbyte∣rians and Fanaticks being then rampant upon the account of the Po∣pish Plot) he resigned his Clerkship of the Council. In Feb. follow∣ing he was sent Envoy extraordinary to the Elector of Brandeberg, and after his return he was much respected for the Services he had done for the Crown. Afterwards he was one of the Commissioners of the Customs for England, Secretary of State for Ireland, and one of the Privy Council for that Realm, and in the latter end of Nov. 1691 he was chosen President of the Royal Society in the room of Dr. Walt. Charlton, having been Fellow thereof several years before, &c. He hath a very hopeful son named Edward Southwell lately a Gent. Com. of Merton Coll, who hath translated into English An account of Virtue: or, Dr. Henr. Mores Abridgment of Morals Lond. 1690. oct.

Doct. of Div.

Dec. 12. Will. Moreton of Ch. Ch. domestick Chaplain to James Duke of Ormonde was then declared Doct. of Div, and on the 29 of Jan. following was diplomated.—He was afterwards Bishop of Kildare.

Sim. Digby another domestick Chaplain to the said Duke, was declared D. of D. the same day, and afterwards diplomated with Moreton.

The said two Doctors were nominated by the Chancellor of the University, who then thought it not fit to have them created when he was in Oxon, least a gap thereby should be made for others. As for Dr. Digby (son of Essex Digby B. of Dromore) who had been incorp. M. of A. in 1676, he became Bish. of Limerick an. 1681, where, sitting till 1691, was, in Dec. the same year, nominated by his Maj. King Will. 3.

In a Convocation held on the 10 of Apr. was a Letter read from the delegated power of the Chanc. of the Univesity in behalf of Henr. Fowler formerly of Oriel Coll, who, after he had been a Gra∣duat, served very faithfully in his Majesties Army during the grand Rebellion began by the Godly Party; and afterwards having not an opportunity of returning to the University to prosecute his studies and take his Degrees in the usual way, he chiefly betook himself to the study of Physick, wherein he made so laudable a progress that he was well qualified to be a Licentiat in the said faculty, &c. This Order being read, and thereupon proposed to the house, whether he should be licensed to practice, or not, the Nons made so much noise that the Proctors were put to the trouble of taking Suffrages in the crowd; (which might have disordered a man to speak a Speech presently after, I mean Mr. Wight the sen. Proct. who was then to surrender up the badges of his Authority, but he came off well enough notwithstanding) At length it was carried by 145, against 63, Votes; whereupon Mr. Fowler was licensed to practice Phys. on the 2. of May following, which afterwards he did with good success in his own Country, but hath not published any thing that I know.

Cross of Halywell. This I mention because that in his last Will and Testament he bequeathed the Mannour of Ʋffeton alias Olufe∣ton alias Ʋlveton in the County of Warwick, worth about 450 l. per an. to be employed (after certain years spent, and moneys rais'd and paid thence) for the maintenance of certain Scotch Scholars in such Coll. or Hall in Oxon, that the Vicechancellour of the Univ. of Oxon, Provost of Qu.

Their number is not to be above twelve, or under five, to be chosen from Glascow Coll. from the number of such that had spent 3 years, or two at the least, there, or one or two in some other Coll. in Scotland, &c. They are to enjoy the said exhibition about ten or eleven years, and then they are to return into their own Country to get preferment there, &c. This estate Mr. Snell got by being, first a Clerk under Sir Or∣lando Bridgman while he had Chamber-practice in the time of Usur∣pation. Secondly by being Cryer of the Court of Exchecquer while the said Sir Orl. was L. Chief Baron thereof, and of the Common-pleas when Sir Orl. was Ch. Justice of that Court, and lastly by being Seal-bearer when he was Lord Keeper. Afterwards, being much esteemed for his great diligence and understanding, he was employ∣ed sometimes into Scotland for James Duke of Monmouth, and bore the Seal again when Anth.

Hall, which hapned on the 7 of May 1681, the Fellows of Magd. Coll. calling into question the power of the Chanc. of the University of putting in a Principal of the said Hall, did thereupon (the President. being then absent) elect to be principal the said Francis Smith, 21 May 1681, and did intend to seal up the Hall gates against the Vicechancellour, in case he should come to admit a Principal of the Chancellours nomination. But the President in the mean time returning, and the Fellows de∣sir'd by the B. of Winchester to desist from these their proceedings, the matter came to nothing. So that the Vicechancellour finding no opposition, he did forthwith admit Dr. Will. Levet of the Chancel∣lours nomination, as I shall tell you among the D. of D. following.

CREATIONS.

Mar. 26. Sir George Wheeler Kt, sometimes Gent. Com. of Linc. Coll, was actually created Mast. of Arts.—He had been before re∣commended to the Members of the ven. Convocation for that de∣gree by the delegated power of the Chanc. of the University, who by their Letters told them that

He is a person of great integrity and affection to the interests of Learning and the Church,—that he had spent several years in travel in the eastern parts, and had brought back with him divers pieces of Antiquity, and as a testi∣mony of his respects and kindness to his Mother the University, hath deposited them in this place, &c.

This Gent. who about the same time took holy Orders, was in the month of Dec 1684 in∣stalled Preb. of Durham upon the promotion of Dr. Dennis Greenvill to the Deanery thereof, and is hereafter to be numbred among the Oxford Writers.

In the month of May his Royal Highness James Duke of York with his Royal Consort Josepha Maria or Beatricia Maria, with the Lady Anne his daughter, were entertain'd by the University of Oxon; and it being the Duke's pleasure that some of his retinew should be created Doctors of the Civil Law, there was a Convoca∣tion celebrated in the morning of that day (May 22) of his de∣parture, wherein these following persons were created Doctors of that faculty, viz.

Doct. of Law.

Cashels in Ireland.—He was nominated the day before to be created, but did not then appear, as others then nominated, did not at that time or afterwards: Among such were Henry M••rdant Earl of Peterbo∣rough, and Wentworth Dillon Earl of Roscommon; which last, who was son of James Earl of Roscommon, was educated from his youth in all kind of polite Learning; but whether he had spent any time in this University, unless in the condition of a Sojourner, I cannot tell. Much about the time that James Duke of York was married to Josepha Maria the Princess of Modena, he became, by his endea∣vours, Captain of the Band of Pensioners belonging to his Majesty K. Ch. 2, and afterwards Master of the Horse to the said Jos. Ma∣ria Dutchess of York; both which places he quitted some time before his death. This worthy person, who was accounted most excellent in the Art of Poetry, hath written and published (1) An Essay on translated Verse. Lond. 1680. 1684, &c. in 4 sheets in qu. Before which, John Dryden the Poet Laureat hath a copy of Verses in praise of it, as also Charles Dryden his son of Trin. Coll. in Cambr. and others. The second edit. of this Essay was published two years after the Pamphlet intit. An Essay upon Poetry, written by John Earl of Mulgrave Kt. of the most noble Order of the Garter. To one of the Editions of the said Essay on translated Verse, is added by the said Earl of Roscommon, A specimen of blank Verse, being the fight between the Angels, taken out of Joh. Milton's book call'd Paradise lost. (2) Several Prologues and Epilogues to Plays, as also Divers Copies of Verses and Translations; which are publish'd with the respective Plays themselves, and in the Miscellany Poems, &c. printed at London by Jacob Tonson 1684. He hath also translated into English, Horace's Art of Poetry. Lond. 1680. qu. Before which Edm. Wa••ler Esq. hath a Copy of Verses on that Translation and of the use of Poetry: As also into French The case of resistance of Supreme Powers, &c. Lond. in oct, written by Dr. Will. Sherlock. At length this most noble and ingenious Count paying his last debt to nature in his house near that of S. James, within the Liberty of Westminster on the 17 of January▪ or thereabouts, an. 1684, was buried in the Church of S. Peter, commonly called the Abbey Church within the said City of Westm. He was succeeded in his honours by his Un∣cle Cary Dillon a Colonel of a Regiment in Ireland in the War be∣tween K. Jam. 2. and K. Will. 3; from which place going into England, was overtaken by a violent Disease which brought him to his grave in the City of Chester, in the month of Novemb. 1689. James Earl of Roscommon before mention'd, father to Wentworth the Poet, was, when young, reclaim'd from the Superstition of the Ro∣mish Church by the learned and religious Dr. Ʋsher Primate of Ireland, and thereupon was sent by him into England, as a Jewel of Price, to be committed to the care and trust of Dr. George Hake∣will, who finding him to be a young man of pregnant parts, pla∣ced him in Exeter Coll. under the tuition of Laurence Bodley Bach. of Div. Nephew to the great Sir Tho. Bodley, in the beginning of the year 1628; in which Coll. continuing some years, became a person of several Accomplishments and afterwards Earl of Roscommon in his own Country of Ireland. The next persons who were nomina∣ted to be created Doctors of the Civil Law, but were not, were James Boteler Earl of Ossory, Franc. Visc. Newport George Savile Lord Elande, eldest son of George Marquess of Halyfax, Robert Lord Lexinton, (who with Anth. Visc. Falkland were sworn of their Ma∣jesties Privy Council 17 Mar. 169••) Col. Rob. Worden one of the Grooms of the Bedchamber to the Duke, who afterwards did good service for his Master when he was King, being then a Major General. He died in Red-lyon-Square near London. on S. James day or thereabouts, 1690. The next who was in Oxon, but not created, was Major Rich. Bagot a Retainer to the said Duke, and after him James Graham Esq. younger brother to Rich. Visc. Preston; which James was afterwards Privy Purse to, and a Colonel under, K. Jam 2, to whom afterwards he closely adhered when he fled, to avoid im∣minent danger in England, into France, &c.

In the afternoon of that day wherein the aforesaid Creation was made, the said Duke, Dutchess and Lady Anne being about to leave Oxon, the Vicechancellour with other Doctors went to, to take their leave of, them, at which time the Vicechancellour did in the name of the University present to the Duke the Hist. and Antiq. of the Ʋniv. of Oxon, with the Cuts belonging thereunto, to the Dutchess the said Cuts by themselves, and the Natural History of Oxfordshire, written by Dr. Plot; and a fair English Bible to the Lady Anne. All which books were richly bound.

On the 13 of June Adolphus Johannes Count Palatine of the Rhine and Duke of Bavaria, aged 20 years or thereabouts (son to Prince Adolphus Uncle to the present K. of Sweedland) came to Oxon under the conduct of Sir Charles Cotterel Mast. of the Ceremonies and lodg∣ed that night in the apartment belonging to the Dean of Ch. Ch. The next day, after he had viewed most places in the University, and the Theater, he went thence to the Apodyterium, where he with

such of his retinew that were to be created Doctors, being habited in Scarlet, were conducted into the Convocation house, and crea∣ted, as now I am about to tell you.

Jun. 14. The most illustrious Prince Adolphus Johan. Count Pal. of the Rhine, Duke of Bavaria, &c. was presented with an enco∣miastical Speech by the Deputy Orator: Which being done, the Vicechancellour created him with another, Doct. of the Civ. Law, and then was conducted to his chair of State on the right hand of the Vicechancellour. Afterwards were these following presented.

• D. Rudolphus Counts of Lipstat Created Doctors of the Civ. Law.
• D. Otto Counts of Lipstat Created Doctors of the Civ. Law.

• D. Fred. Harder a Noble German Created Doctors of the Civ. Law.
• Andr. Fleman Secret. to Pr. Adolph. Created Doctors of the Civ. Law.

It was then the common report that the said Prince came into England with his Uncle to break off the Match to be between Pr. George of Denmark and the Lady Anne.

Doct. of Phys.

Jun. 14. Laurence Cronyng Tutor to Prince Adolphus before men∣tioned, was created Doctor, while the said Prince sate in his chair of State.

Mar. 5. Martin Lister Esq. was declared Doctor of Phys. by vertue of the Chancellours Letters sent to the members of the ven. Convocation then assembled, partly running thus—

He was late∣ly a Practitioner of Physick, at York, now here in London, a per∣son of exemplary Loyalty, and of high esteem amongst the most eminent of his Profession for his excellent skill and success there∣in, and hath given farther proof of his worth and knowledge by several learned books by him published.—He hath entertained so great an affection for the University of Oxon, that he hath lately presented the Library with divers valuable books both manuscript and printed, and enriched the new Musaeum with several Altars, Coins, and other Antiquities, together with a great number of Curiosities of nature, whereof several cannot be matched for any price; which yet he declares to be but an earnest of what he far∣ther intends, &c.

On the eleventh of the said month of March the Diploma for his Creation was sealed, &c. This learned Doctor who is a Yorkshire man born, and had been bred up under Sir Mat∣thew Lister (mentioned in the Fasti of the first vol. of this Work, p. 793.) was educated in S. Johns Coll. in Cambridge, was afterwards of the Royal Society, and after, when Doctor, Fellow of the Coll. of Phys. Among several things that he hath written, are (1) Hi∣storiae Animalium Angliae tres tractatus, &c. Lond. 1678. qu. An account of which is in the Philos. Transactions, numb. 139. pag. (2) De Fontibus medicatis Angliae, exercitat. nov. & prior. Ebor. 1682. &c. oct. An account of which is also in the said Phil. Trans. nu. 144. This was reprinted at Lond. with additions 1684, oct, and to it was added De Fontibus medicatis Angliae exercitatio altera, dedicated to the Univ. of Oxon, (3) Historiae Conchylio∣rum liber primus, qui est de cochleis terrestibus. Lond. 1685. fol. All represented in cuts, &c. There be also several of his Letters, En∣quiries, &c. in the said Transactions, nu. 70.72.73.75.76.77.79.83. &c. 87.89.95.105.117.144.145.147.149. &c.

Doct. of Div.

June 4. Thom. White Mast. of Arts and Chapl. to James Duke of York (or rather to the Lady Anne) was declared Doct. of Div. and two days after was diplomated.—On the 13 of Aug. following, he was installed Archdeacon of Nottingham in the place of Vere Harcourt deceased (who had succeeded in that Dignity Dr. Will. Robinson, in Sept. 1660) and being nominated Bishop of Peterborough upon the promotion of Dr. Will. Lloyd to the See of Norwych, in the latter end of July 1685 was consecrated thereunto in the Archb. Chappel at Lambeth on the 25 of Oct. following, at which time Rich. Blechynden Bach. of Div. of S. Johns Coll. in Oxon preached the Consecration Sermon. This worthy person, who was born in Kent and educated in S. Johns Coll. in Cambridge, was one of the six Bishops, that were (with the most religious and conscientious William Archb. of Canterbury) committed Prisoners to the Tower of London on the 8 of June 1688 for subscribing and delivering a Peti∣tion to his Maj. King James 2, wherein they shewed their great aversness they found in themselves to the distributing and publish∣ing in all their Churches his Majesties then late Declaration for Li∣berty of Conscience, &c. which was then esteemed libellous and se∣ditious. Afterwards coming to their Trial in Westminster Hall on the 25 of the same month they were quitted, to the great rejoycing of the generality of people. After the Prince of Orange came to the Crown and setled, he was one of those Bishops, together with the said Archb, that were deprived of their respective Sees for not ta∣king the Oaths of Allegiance and Supremacy to him and the Qu: Whereupon Dr. Rich. Cumberland of Cambridge being nominated to the said See of Peterborough by their Majesties, he was consecrated thereunto in the Church of S. Mary le Bow in London on the 5 of July 1691.

Creations.

In a Convocation held 15 Dec. were Letters read from the Chanc. of the University in behalf of one Elias Boherel (born a•• Rochelle, partly bred under his Father an eminent Physitian, and two years or more in the University of Samur) to be created Bach. of the Civ. Law, but whether he was created or admitted it appears not. He and his Father were French Protestants and were lately come into England, to enjoy the liberty of their religion, which they could not do in France, because of their expulsion thence by the King of that Country.

Tho his Maj. K. Jam. 2. was entertained by the University in the beginning of Sept. this year, yet there was no creation made in any faculty, which was expected and gaped after by many.

The said James Duke of Ormonde was installed in his house in S. James's Square within the liberty of Westminster on the 23 of Aug. following: which being concluded, followed an entertainment for his noble Friends, acquaintance and the Academians, equal to, if not beyond any, that had been made by the present King or his Predecessor.

Lamphire) on the 2 Apr. this year, was then (May 21.) incorporated in the same degree—This learned person, who was the Son of Will. Dodwell of Ireland, Son of Hen. Dodwell of the City of Oxon, Son of William, supposed to be Brother to Al∣derman Hen. Dodwell Mayor of the said City in the 34. of Q. Eliz. dom. 1592, was born in the Parish of S. Warburgh commonly cal∣led S. Warborough within the City of Dublin, in the beginning of the grand rebellion that broke out in that Kingdom in Octob. 1641, educated in Grammar learning under Christopher Wallis in the Free-school, situated in the Bederew, within the City of York, from 1649 to 1654, and afterwards for a years time in Dublin, entred a Student in Trin. Coll. there, an. 1656, and when Bach. of Arts, was made Fellow thereof. After he had proceeded in that facul∣ty, he left his Fellowship to avoid entring into holy Orders, and in 1666 I find him a Sojournour in Oxon, purposely to advance him∣self in learning by the use of the publick Library. Thence he re∣turn'd to his native Country for a time and published a posthumous book ent. De obstinatione, Opus posth. pietatem Christiano-stoicam, Scho¦lastico more suadens. Dubl. 1672 oct. Before which book, (written by his sometimes Tutor named Joh. Stearne M. D. and publ. Professor in the University of Dublin) Mr. Dodwell put of his own composition Prolegomena Apolegetica, de usu Dogmatum Philosophicorum, &c. In the beginning of this book is Dr. Stearne's Epitaph without date, insculp'd on a marble, on the north side of the Altar in Trin. Coll. Chappel near Dublin, part of which is this—Philosophus, Medicus, summusque Theologus idem Sternius hic, &c. Afterwards Mr. Dod∣well returned into England, spent his time there in divers places in a most studious and retired condition, and wrot and published these books following (1) Two letters of advice. 1. For the susception of ho∣ly orders. 2. For studies Theological, &c. Printed at Dubl. first, and afterwards twice at Lond. in oct. At the end of the first letter is added A Catalogue of Christian Writers, and genuine works that are extant, of the first three Centuries: And to both in the 2d and 3d edit, is added A discourse concerning Sanchoniathans Phoenician Hi∣story. (2) Considerations of present concern, how far the Romanists may be trusted by Princes of another Communion. Lond. in oct. (3) Two short discourses against the Romanists. 1. An account of the fundamen∣tal principles of Popery, and of the insufficiency of the proofs which they have for it. 2. An answer to 6 Queries proposed to a Gentlewo∣man of the Ch. of England by an Emissary of the Church of Rome. Lond. 1676. oct. To another edition of this, which came out at Lond. in 1689 in qu. was added by the author A preface relating to the Bishop of Meaux and other modern complaints of misrepresentation. (4) Separation of Churches from Episcopal government, as practiced by the present Non-conformists, proved Schismatical from such principles as are least controverted, and do withal most popularly explain the sin∣fulness and mischief of Schisme. Lond. 1679. qu. In this Treatise, the sin against the Holy Ghost, the sin unto death, and other diffi∣cult Scriptures are occasionally discoursed of, and some useful rules are given for explication of Scripture. (5) A reply to Mr. Baxters pre∣tended confutation of a book, entit, Separation of Churches from Epis∣copal government, &c. Lond. 1681. oct. To which are added Three Letters, written to him in the year 1673, Concerning the possibility of discipline under a diocesan government; which, tho relating to the subject of most of his late books, have never yet been answered. (6) A discourse concerning the one Altar and the one Priesthood, insisted on by the Ancients in their disputes against Schisme, &c. Being a just account concerning the true nature and principles of Schisme, ac∣cording to the Ancients. Lond. 1682. 3. oct. (7) Dissertationes Cy∣priniac••e. There were two editions of these, viz. one in fol. at the end of S. Cyprians works published by Dr. Joh. Fell B. of Oxon, an. 1682; and another in oct. printed in Sheldons Theater 1684, pur∣posely for the sake of such Scholars who could not spare money to buy those in fol. which were to go, and were always bound, with S. Cyprians works before mention'd. (8) Dissertatio de Ripa Striga ad Lanctant de morte Persecutorum. Printed at the end of Lanctan∣tius Firm. his works, with commentaries on them made by Thomas Spark M. A. of Ch. Ch.—Oxon. 1684. oct. (9) De jure Laico∣rum

sacerdotali, &c. This book, which is written against Hug. Grotius, was printed at Lond. in oct. at the end of a piece of that author entit. De Caenae administratione ubi Pastores non sunt, &c. Much about which time was published Antidodwellisme; being two curious tracts formerly written by Hug. Grotius, concerning a solution of these two questions. 1. Whether the Eucharist may be administred in the absence of, or want of Pastors, &c. Made English by one who calls himself Philaratus. (10) Additiones, & dissertatio singularis, in the Opera posthuma chronologica of the famous Dr. Jo Pearson, some∣times Bish. of Chester.—Lond. 1687-8. in qu. (11) Dissertationes in Irenaeum. Oxon. è Theat. Sheldon. 1689. oct. To which is added a Fragment of Phil. Sideta de Catechistatum Alexandrinorum successione, with notes. Besides these books, the author, now in the prime of his years, designs others, which in good time may be made extant for the benefit of the Church of Engl. (for which he hath a zealous respect) and commonwealth of learning. His universal knowledge and profound judgment in all sciences and books has rendred him famous amongst all the learned men of France and Italy, and the great san∣ctity and severity of his life has gain'd him a veneration very pecu∣liar and distinguishing among all sorts of people. His greatest study has been to assert the honour and interest of religion and the Cler∣gy; and his writings in defence of the Church of England against Papists and Presbyterians have been esteemed perfect pieces in their kind. But notwithstanding all this, the Reader may be pleased to know, that whereas he suffered much in his Estate in his native Country, for not coming in, and taking part with the Forces of K. Jam. 2, when they endeavoured to keep possession of Ireland against K. Will. 3. and his Forces, an. 1689 &c. for which he was proclaimed Rebel: Or had he been there, as he was not, they would have imprison'd him, if not worse; so soon after did he suffer in England (where he then was) for keeping close and adhering to the oathes of allegiance which he had taken to the said K. Jam. 2, by being deprived of the Professorship of History (founded by the learn∣ed Camden) to the great prejudice of learning. He lives now ob∣scurely, (mostly in his Cell in the north suburb of Oxon) and is pre∣paring his learned Lectures and several useful discourses for the press.

Af∣ter the siege was raised and that part of the Country secured from the incursions of the said Forces, he went into England to pay his respects to K.

Dec. 11. Francis Lord North Baron of Guilford, a Nobleman of Trin. Coll, was, after he had been presented by the Dep. Orator, actually created Master of Arts, being then about to leave the Uni∣versity—His Father Sir Francis North, second Son of Dud••ey Lord North, was, from being L. Ch. Just. of the Common-pleas, advanced to the honorable office of Lord Keeper of the Great Seal of England, on the 20 of Dec. 1682, and in Sept. 1683 he was, for his great and faithful services that he had rendred the Crown, created a Ba∣ron of this Kingdom by the name and stile of Baron of Guilford in Surrey. He died at Wroxton near Banbury in Oxfordshire on the 5 of Sept. 1685, and was privately buried in a vault under part of the Church there, among the ancestors of his Wife named Frances the second daughter and coheir of Thomas Pope Earl of Downe in Ire∣land, uncle to Thomas the last Earl of Downe of the straight or linial descent of that family, who died at Oxon, in the year 1660 as I have told you in the 397 page of this book: But whereas 'tis said there that he married the eldest daughter and coheir is an errour, for it was the second, the first named Beata having been married to Will. Some of Suffolk Esquire, and the youngest named Finetta,

to Robert Hyde Esq. Son of Alexander sometimes Bishop of Salis∣bury.

Sir George Makenzie of Rosehaugh) (de Valle Rosarum) in the County of Rosse in Scotland having left that Country upon the change of the Government there, and violent proceedings of the K••rk party, an. 1689, he retired to Oxon in the month of Sept. that year, became a Sojournour there for a time, a frequenter of the publick Library, and on the second day of June 1690 he was by the fa∣vour of the Ven. Congregation of Regents admitted a Student therein, where he continued all that Summer.—This most worthy and loyal Gentleman, Son of Simon Makenzie (Brother to the Earl of Seaforth) by Elizabeth his Wife Daughter of a Gentleman of an antient and heroick Extraction named Dr. And. Bruce Rector of the University of S. Andrew, was born at Dundee in the County of An∣gus an. 1636, and having an ardent desire from his Childhood for the obtaining of good Letters, he was, at about 10 years of age, (at which time he had conquered his Grammar and the best classi∣cal authors) sent to the University of Aberdene, where, and after∣wards in that of S. Andrew, he ran through the Classes of Logick and Philosophy under the tuition of several eminent Masters before he was scarce 16 years of age. Afterwards applying his studies; with great zeal, to the Civil Law, he travelled into France, and in the University of Bourges he continued in an eager pursuit of that faculty for about three years time. After his return to his native Country, he became an Advocate in the Courts at Edenburgh, be∣ing then scarce 20 years of age, and in 1661 he was made choice of to be an Advocate for pleading the causes of the Marquess of Argyle; and afterwards became a Judge in the criminal Court, which office he performed with great faith, justice and integrity. In 1674, or thereabouts, he was made the Kings Lord Advocate and one of his Privy Council; and notwithstanding the great troubles and mo∣lestations that arose from the fanatical party, yet he continued in those places, and stood steady, faithful and just in the opinion of all good and loyal men till the beginning of the raign of K. James 7, at which time, being averse in lending his assistance to the taking away of the penal laws, he was removed and Sir Joh. Dalrimple now Secretary of State in Scotland under K. Will. 3. was put into his place. Some time after his removal, he was restored and conti∣nued L. Advocate and Privy Counsellour till K. Will. 3. made a re∣volution in Scotland, and then he went into England, as I have be∣fore told you. He was a Gentleman well acquainted with the best authors, whether antient or modern, of indefatigable industry in his studies, great abilities and integrity in his profession, powerful at the Bar, just on the Bench, an able Statesman, a faithful Friend, a loyal Subject, a constant Advocate for the Clergy and Universi∣ties, of strict honour in all his actions and a zealous Defender of piety and religion in all places and companies. His conversation was pleasant and useful, severe against vice and loose principles without regard to quality or authority, a great lover of the Laws and Customs of his Country, a contemner of popularity and riches, fru∣gal in his expences, abstemious in his diet, &c. His works, as to learning are these (1) Aretina, a Romance—printed in oct. (2) Reli∣gio Stoici. Edenb. 1663 &c. in oct. The running title at the top of the pages is The Virtuoso or Stoick. (3) Solitude prefer'd to publick employment, printed at Edenb. in oct. (4) Moral Gallantry, printed several times in oct. It is a discourse wherein the author endeavours to prove that point of honour (abstracting from all other ties) obli∣ges men to be virtuous, and that there is nothing so mean (or un∣worthy of a Gent.) as vice.
