Apr. 29. Humph. Prideaux of Ch. Ch.

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.
