Coll. in the beginning of the year 1621 aged 16 years but before he took a degree he left that House and whether afterwards he travelled or studied in the Inns of Court I know not Sure it is that about the beginning of the Civil War he was prick'd High Sherriff for Sussex adheer'd to the King at Oxon from whom he received the honour of Knighthood there 4. Oct. 1643 and about that time had a commission to be a Colonel in his Army against the Rebels for which afterwards he suffered equally with other Royalists In Nov. 1647 when the King made his escape from Hampton Court he with Dr. Steph.

Coll. succeeded Dr. Thom. Good whom I shall mention elsewhere ABIEZER COPPE the Son of Walt. Coppe was born in the antient Borough of Warwick in Warwickshire 20. May 1619 educated in Grammar learning there and at about 17 years of age was sent to All 's Coll. in the beginning of 1636 where continuing but for a short time in the condition of a Servitor I think he became one of the number of Portionists commonly called Postmasters of Mert. College at which time tho he was put under the tuition of a good Tutor Ralph Button I think yet being naturally vitious all lectures or examples could not reform or make him live like a Christian And it was then notoriously known that he would several times entertain for one night or more a wanton huswife in his Chamber under that called Oxoniam quare as I have heard in the little or old quadrangle to whom carrying several times meat at the hour of refection he would make answer when being asked by the way what he would do with it that it was a bit for his cat At length the Civil War breaking forth he left the University without a degree adhered to the blessed Cause and at first was a Presbyterian But the gap being widened for all heresies to come in he became an Anabaptist and after a Ranter Muggletonian and what not to satisfie his wandring head and filthy lusts The stage of most of his villanies was Warwickshire where and in the neighbourhood and in other of his rambles he had while he was an Anabaptist baptized seven thousand People as he brag'd to some Oxford Scholars while he was a Prisoner in Coventry After he had left that opinion and had turned Ranter 't was usual with him to preach stark naked many blasphemies and unheard of villanies in the day-time and in the night be drunk and lye with a Wench that had been also his hearer stark naked He was wont to say when he was reprehended for swearing that tho it was usual with him in common discourse and in his preachings yet 't was not formally but materially as thus By Gods wounds I shall be saved and the like But he said these things when he was imprison'd for his rogueries and not before When also he was check'd by the Brethren of the Anabaptistical party for leaving them he would swear that he would rather hear an Arch Angel blaspheme and curse God than hear a Presbyterian or Anabaptist preach About the time of his publishing the Fiery flying Roll he was for that and other rascallities imprison'd at Coventry where 't was usual with him after he had swore and cursed most of the day to be drunk at night And when he was to be removed thence to London a Brother of his Religion brought a collection of fifty pounds to pay his debts there This brother while he remained in that City preached twice in one day and towards night he preached in the Prison to Coppe and others of his gang Which being done they enjoyed the creature so much that they were all down-right drunk To omit many other of his pranks that he acted then and before I shall tell you what he hath written viz. A fiery flying roll c. Lond. 1649. This book I have not yet seen and therefore I cannot give a full account of it In the month of January the same year he as a most notorious sectarist and author of that book was removed from Coventry to the Prison called Newgate in London where as before he did little else but swear and curse and obstinately held forth to all People that came to see him that God could not damn him and having smooth arguments for what he had said induced many to be of his Religion On the 2. of Feb. following it was voted by the members of Parliament who by their most imparallel'd actions had been and were then the occasion of all Englands woes and miseries and so let it stand upon eternal record to their eternal shame that the said book entit A fiery flying roll doth contain many horrid blasphemies and damnable and detestable opinions and that the said book and all the copies of it that could be found should be burnt by the hands of the common hangman c. which accordingly was done The errors that Coppe held which he afterwards recanted were these 1 That there is no sin 2 That there is no God 3 That man or the meer creature is very God 4 That God is in man or in the creature only and no where else 5 That cursing and swearing is no sin 6 That adultery fornication and uncleaness is no sin 7 That community of Wives is lawful c. Afterwards for fear of corporal punishment or perpetual exile in an obscure place Coppe recanted and published another book after he had been an year and an half in prison entit Copp's return to the way of truth in a zealous and sincere protestation against several errors and in a sincere and zealous testimony to several truths or truth asserted against and triumphing over error and the wings of the fiery flying roll clip't c. Lond. 1651. qu Before which is a large preface shewing what the author Coppe had been and was then to the Parliament Letter in answer to another of Mr. John Dury Printed with Copp's return as also another to March Nedham Afterwards Coppe was set at liberty was kindly entertained among those of his opinion and being at Burford in Oxfordshire preached there A recantation Sermon 23. Dec. 1651 but whether printed I cannot tell Sure it is that John Tickell a Minister of Abendon in Berks. somtimes of Ch. Ch. did write Animadversions on it which are printed at the end of his Bottomless pit smoaking in familisme Oxon. 1652. oct He the said Coppe published also a book written by J. F. entit John the Divines Divinity or the confession of the general assembly or Church of the first born in heaven Lond. 1649. Before which book Coppe hath put an Epistle dated at London 13 Jan. 1648 two or three days as he saith before the eternal God thundred at Great S. Ellens in Lond. This book is a silly thing full of blasphemies and more fit for a posterior use than to be read by any man of Reason or Sobriety Afterwards the Name of Coppe being odious he did upon the Kings restauration change it to Higham and practising Physick at Barnelms in Survey and sometimes preaching in Conventicles to maintain him and his went for divers years by the Name of Dr. Higham At length being brought low by certain Infirmities which he had contracted in

general History of this Nation yet still it must be own'd that Ore however rich must lose its Dross before it be refin'd into Metal and that unpolish'd Materials whatever they may be wrought into are not yet a Fabrick It is confess'd in the mean time that the rudeness or ignorance of our Ancestors the meaness of their Studies or the carelessness of their performances was not the fault of our Nation but the Age Gildas and Bede challenge the precedence of the most Antient Historians of our neighbouring Nations Our Alcuine gave Learning to one of the most flourishing Vniversities of Europe none elsewhere were more subâ—il than our Schoolmen nor more learned than Our Canonists So that in that universal Cloud of ignorance Britain enjoy'd if not always the dawn of the Day yet at least comparatively the least share of Night Now then it is time for us to observe that our Authors Work begins with the first progress if not the earliest rise of Learning in this Island that if he had ascended higher his Subject had been worse and his Guides more uncertain Records had been wanting as well as Writers and neither wou'd the Haven have been so good nor the Buoys so visible nor the Voyage so pleasant For when in the middle of the 14th Century the Art of Printing was discover'd and a few years afterwards Constantinople was taken then the Exil'd Grecians who had before given Learning to Italy now by the incouragement of Alphonso in Naples and the Family of the Medicee's in Florence restor'd it to the World And it was the particular happiness of England that as soon as the Italian Learning could reach this Northern Island about the first date of this Work in the beginning of the 15th Century then concurr'd a third Cause of the Restoration and Increase of Learning among us the discovery of America the incouragement of our Navigation and the extent of our Foreign Correspondence I shall not anticipate this Work so far as hereafter to observe the progress of Learning and the steps that it made in this Island nor to shew the gradual improvements of our Fathers in the best Studies among us yet thus much upon a view of this Period of Learning in Europe and particularly in England may without vanity be said that Learning that came very slow to the Western and the Northern Climates hath yet like a rich and weary Traveller seem'd not only to fix her last Seat here but to disperse among us the spoils of other Nations and the gains of her former Travels However unskilful therefore our Author hath been in the management of the Fabrick it is not to be denied but that he hath intituled himself to the glory of a good Architect in the choice of a rich and fruitful and that a new and unbroken Soil Before this Age and somewhat within it Leland who by the command of King Henry VIII had undertaken to survey and perpetuate Books of the antient Monasteries after the dissolution thereof hath completed that Work with so great exactness that Bale and Pits who have since attempted the same have only made use herein of the Gorgons common Eye and have reflected that single light only upon Posterity But in this Work unless we would set a value upon the Writings of mean and fanciful Authors I mean Lloyd and Fuller Our Antiquary hath let himself into a new and full Harvest and not condescended to gather the Gleanings of another hand Thus far of the Extent of our Authors Work in respect to Time It is now requisite that we consider the Latitude of it in respect of Place It is indeed by its Title confin'd to one Vniversity only But either by the peculiar happiness of that famous Body in producing eminent Authors or by the care of this Writer in inserting such of the other Vniversity as were likewise entred at Oxon or studied in it or assisted oppos'd or answer'd any Author of that Vniversity The Work in its several commendable Digressions seems almost to contain an exact and full History of Learning and of the Learned Men in England And even as to the Vniversity it self tho I have no mind to revive the Disputes of Caius and Twine on that Subject which are now as happily ended as they were unhappily begun it may be observ'd that of those Authors that are recited by Pits there are CCCLXXX of the Vniversity of Oxon and only CX of the other Vniversity And I dare upon inquiry affirm that that eminent Body hath been as fruitful in the produce of eminent Authors in this last Century as any of the former and it remains to be wish'd that some good Antiquary of the other Vniversity would convince us of our errour in this particular Thus far as to the Subject of our Author as to his Management of it there is much said in the Preface to the 1st Vol. and neither have I leisure to add more nor seems the matter it self to require it The little particulars of several Mens Lives especially the repetition of Passages already known seem distastful to some Palates when indeed the common loss of all ancient Arts is to be imputed only to the want of timely observation For while no Man writes what every Man knows at last none know what none have ever written We have an esteem of Photius Philostratus and Eunapius for the value of the Subject rather than the excellency of the performance and the price of their Works is only inhans'd by the minute circumstances of their Lives and Characters of Learned Men which other Historians have omitted Others there are that are offended at the disadvantageous Representations of eminent Authors in this Work and the disobliging expressions of our Author concerning them It is to be consider'd that all Antient Criticks not only the most severe and morose as Scioppius and Scaliger but even the most polite and easie men as Sir Tho. More have transgressed the rules of Civility and Complement which are not to be learn'd from an Antiquary And since our Writer for the publick benefit of Learning is equally regardless of Envy and of Fame it will be an intire satisfaction to him that those who upon these or other like accounts disrespect or censure the Author must yet have a just esteem and value for so useful a Work ERRATA By the Absence of the Author from the Press many Faults have been committed in the Printing this Book Page Line Error Correction 2 14 from bot was translated he was translated 12 21 from bot Suedus Ren Suedus Rex 13 40 from

Which book had it not fallen into the hands of a knavish Bookseller might have been extant in the life time of the author and so consequently more compleat and exact than now it is At its first publication I was enformed by a letter written by a noted man of that party that the Papists did look upon the said book as a simple thing That he the Author fought against his own shadow and that all sober Catholicks did disallow much of what he combats against That he prayed much to the Lord that he might live to see his book published and then nunc dimittis but it was not granted him c. This Mr. Foulis had laid the foundations of other books which he intended to advance and have them published but the day before he died he committed them to the flames as many other notes he did which would have been serviceable to some scholars He ended his days in the prime of his years occasion'd by a generous and good natur'd intemperance on the Vigil of the Nativity of our Saviour in sixteen hundred sixty and nine and was buried under the north wall at the upper end of the Chancel of S.

The next year July 24 he was designed the first Architypographus of the University and for his better encouragement in that Office had the grant of the superior Beadleship of the Civil Law when it should fall void given to him and after his death to his Successors in that place for ever In 1650 he was Master of a Boarding-school at Islington near London where continuing for some time did give his assisting hand towards the correcting and publishing of the Polyglott Bible In 1658 he made another return to the University and upon a foresight of the death of him that held the superior Beadleship of Law was elected Architypographus 14 May 1658 and on the 29 of the same month superior Beadle of the Civil Law both which places he kept to his dying day and shew'd himself a most necessary and useful person in the concerns thereof belonging to the University Vir Graecis latinisque literis probe instructus in studiis philologicis versatissimus c.

He paid his last debt to nature in his house in Halywell in the Suburb of Oxon on the 27 of Decemb. in sixteen hundred sixty and nine and was buried in the middle of the body of the Church belonging to the said Parish of Halywell dedicated to the Holy Cross Two days after his death was an election made for his successor in the place of Beadle and Architypographus for which stood Tho. Bennet M. A. of Ch. Ch. then Corrector of the University press being put up by his Dean Dr. Joh. Fell as being the most fit person that could be then thought on But Bennet stirring little in the matter supposing the Masters could not otherwise but choose tho then they had little or no respect for him they elected a boon companion not at all fit to be Archityp named Norton Bold M. A. and Fellow of C. C. Coll. who had been put aside from being elected when he stood after the death of Edm. Gayton mention'd under the year 1666.

Tillotson Preacher of Lincolns Inn delivered an excellent sermon upon that occasion This Dr. Wilkins was a person endowed with rare gifts he was a noted Theologist and Preacher a curious Critick in several matters an excellent Mathematician and Experimentist and one as well seen in Mechanecismes and new Philosophy of which he was a great Promoteâ— as any of his time He also highly advanced the study and perfecting of Astronomy both at Oxford whilst he was Warden of Wadh. Coll and at London whilst he was of the Royal Society and I cannot say to the contrary that there was any thing deficient in him but a constant mind and setled principles Dr. Gilb. Burnet tells us that this Dr. Wilkins who was for a Comprehension and a limited indulgence for Dissenters in Religion was a man of as great a mind as true a judgment as eminent virtues and of as good a soul as any he ever knew c. And one or more of the Royal Soc. say that all that knew Bishop Wilkins must needs acknowledge him for his universal insight into all parts of learning solid judgment rare prudence and dexterity in the management of worldly affairs and transactions universal charity ingenuity temper and moderation of spirit to have left behind him but few equals c.

Ch. in this Univ. in the 15th year of his age and thence at 18 he went to the Inner Temple where for some time he chose rather to follow his Academical Studies of Poetry and Mathematicks than the municipal Laws of England At length falling into the acquaintance of the learned Selden and others was instructed by them in the value of civil learning so that soon after he applied himself closely to the course of that Study particularly of the said laws which he after made his profession but when he began to become noted and admired in the Parliament that began 3 Nov. 1640. of which he was a Burgess for the Town of Cardigan the Civil War broke forth and gave a stop to his Proceedings Whereupon leaving London he retired to his own Country and mostly lived there till the restauration of K.

Coll. in 1623 aged 18 years and thence translating himself to Magd. Hall took the degrees in Arts and soon after became a Tutor there but being found guilty of a strange singular and superstitious way of dealing with his Scholars by perswading and causing some of them to subscribe as Votaries to several articles framed by himself as he pretended for their better government as if the Statutes of the place wherein he lived and the authority of the then present government were not sufficient he was distutor'd in the month of May 1634. Afterward he left the Hall and shewing himself very scismatical abroad was forced to leave the Nation whereupon he with his beloved Wife called Jane Butler went to the Islands of Bermudas where he exercised his Ministry At length the Long Parliament making mad work in England in 1641. c. he as other Schismaticks did returned preached very enthusiastically in severally places in his travels to and fro while his dear Wife preached in the house among her Gossips and others So that he being looked upon as a zealous and forward brother for the cause he had some spirituality bestowed on him and at length was made Fellow of Eaton Coll. near Windsore in the place of one Simonds deceased who had been thrust into the place of Dr. David Stokes in the time of the rebellion Upon his Majesties restauration Oxenbridge was outed of his Fellowship and afterwards retiring to Berwick upon Twede he held forth there till the Act of conformity silenced him an 1662.

Peter in the East in the City of Oxon 22 Jul. 1605 and in Mich. term 1621 was made either Clerk or Portionist of the said College where continuing till he was Bach. of Arts retired to S. Albans Hall took the degree of Master as a member thereof and was for his ingenuity made one of the Terrae filii in the Act following Soon after he became Tutor in the Country to Tho. Pope the young Earl of Downe whose Guardian Joh. Dutton of Sherbourne in Glocestershire Esq did for the great care he took on his Pupil bestow on him the Rectory of Swerford near to Châ—pping-Norton in Oxfordshire which was all the preferment I think that he enjoyed to his dying day Afterwards he became a sufferer in the time of the
month of July and in the same year he was not only named one of the Kings Serjeants which he refused to accept but was made one of the 3 Commissioners of the new Great Seal of the Commonwealth of England 8. Febr at which time the King Great Seal was publickly broken in the H. of Commons And farther also on the 14. of the said month he was elected one of the 30 persons for the Council of State wherein he sate and acted according to his ability In the month of June 1649 he was made High Steward of the City of Oxon by the Mayor and Citizens thereof in the room of the Earl of Berks Whom they for his Loyalty displaced and about the same time they made him their Recorder In July following he was constituted keeper of the Kings Meddals and Library which in 1647 he had hindred from being sold And that employment he the rather took because he was put upon it by Selden and other learned men and that he himself being accounted learned took great delight in such matters However being not alwaies at leisure to attend those places he had a Deputy allowed him and one John Dury a Traveller did the drudgery of the place On the 24. of Nov. 1651 he was continued one of the Council of State and likewise on the same day in the year following In the beginning of Nov. 1653 he set forth with a gallant retinew in the quality of an Embassador into Sweedland being impowred thereto by Oliver and the Little Parliament and had a thousand pounds per ann for his Salary In which Embassie and Country behaving himself with great prudence to the liking and with the approbation of all Christina Queen of that Country made him a Knight of the honorable Order of Amaranta of which Order the Queen herself is Soveraign and wears the badg thereof which is a rich Jewel tied to a crimson riband under her left breast You may be pleased to see more of this Order in Elias Ashmole's book intit The institutions lawes and ceremonies of the Order of the Garter Lond. 1672. fol. chap. 3. p. 123. and the copy or draught of the badge between pag. 94. and 95. After his return thence which was in July 1654. he was in Aug. following made one of the Commissioners of the Exchequer or Treasury for in his absence alteration or pretended reformation being made in the Chancery he stood off at his return from being any longer Commissioner of the Seal In January 1656 he being then Serjeant at Law was chose Speaker of the H. of Commons pro tempore upon the indisposition of him lately chosen and in the year following he was summoned by Oliver the Protector to sit in the other House by the name of Bulstrode Lord Whitlock which summons he obeying had thereupon a negative voice in that House over the people tho he had helped to put it down when it consisted of King and Lords In Aug. 1659 he was made President of the Council of State in Octob one of the Committee of Safety on the first of Nov keeper of the great seal pro tempore by the appointment of the said Committee and on the 30 of Jan. following he retired into the country for fear of being sent prisoner to the Tower by some prevalent Members in the in the Rump Parl. then newly restored for his being a member of the Committee of Safety At which time he leaving the Seal with his wife lock'd up in a desk she forthwith delivered it to Lenthal the Speaker From which time to that of his death we heard but little of him only that he lived retiredly mostly at Chilton in Wilts near Hungerford in Berks that he had been an observing person thro all changes guided more by policy than conscience and that he had advantaged himself much in Civil affairs by his relation to the publick and his eminent station To which I add that he was an excellent Com. Lawyer was as well read in books as in men and well vers'd in the Oriental Tongues and therefore belov'd of Selden who would have made him one of his Executors and the Virtuosi of his time The things that he hath extant are these Several Speeches viz. 1 Speech at a conference of both Houses 17.

This is no more than a Diary which he began and continued for his private use In this book you 'll find divers of his discourses made on various occasions It was published by Arth. Earl of Anglesie but with a very bad index to it which is a disadvantage to the book in many respects He also left behind him several manuscript volumes of his own writing which are not determin'd by the heir whether they may or shall be published Several things in his life time were fathered upon him among which was a little thing published in Jan. 1659. entit My Lord Whitlocks Reports on Machiavil c. wherein the author tells us that when Whitlock was chose a member of the Long Parl. he had then no interest but contented himself with seeing the fashions of the Parl. house At length Pyms discerning eyes spying that curiosity presently attacqued his unconcerned undetermined mind and with the proffers of greatness and popularity brought him over to his design and became his Second c. Also that when he with other Commissioners attended the King at Oxon with propositions from both houses in order to peace the K. shewed to the Commissioners during their stay there great respect but of Commissioner Whitlock he took small notice c. which implanted in him ever after an implacable malice to him and his posterity c. That he was sent to make speeches against the young King at Guild hall
A letter to a friend in Wilts upon occasion of a late ridiculous pamphlet wherein was inserted a pretended prophecy of Thom. Becket Lond. 1666. in two sheets in qu. The said letter was written to Tho. Gore of Alderton Esq who gave Dr. Tully the rectory of Grigleton and the Prophecy was published by one W.

A treatise of imputed righteousness c. with an answer to Dr. Tully's Letter which he calls angry 2. A friendly debate with the learned and worthy Mr. Christop Cartwright containing first his animadversions on his Aphorismes with my answer Secondly his exceptions against that answer thirdly my reply to the sum of the controversies agitated in those exceptions All published instead of a fuller answer to the assaults of Dr. Tully's Justificatio Paulina Lond. 1676. oct The Aphorismes of Mr. Baxter here defended against Dr. Tully were answer'd as to some passages 1 By Will.

Lond. 1654. qu. To both which Mr. Baxter quickly after publish'd distinct replies placed at the end of his Apol. Lond. 1654. qu. One called An admonition to Mr. Will. Eyre c. and another An unsavoury volume of Mr. John Crandons anatomiz'd c. But Crandon died before this answer against him came out The said Aphorismes also were excepted against and animadverted upon at their first coming forth 1650 by many learned men some of whom wrot upon the motion and desire of their author himself among whom were Mr. George Lawson Dr. John Wallis Mr. John Warren and Mr. Christoph Cartwright were the chief which being as he himself confesseth then but crude and defective for want of time and use of writing this being his first some suspected it of errour in doctrine some of novelty some of divers undigested expressions and some overvaluing it received those imperfections with the rest Upon this he published his suspension of these Aphorismes then his fuller explication and defence of them in his Apologie c. Afterward his additional explication and defence both in his Confession of faith c. and in his Four Disputations of Justification c. And tho he hath in these three several pieces thus largely explain'd himself and his Aphorismes yet Dr. Tully as he complains fell notwithstanding upon him without taking notice of any of those following treatises which clear and illustrate his former doctrine in these points But whatever hath been the Doctors dealing towards him on this account at which he seems to be so much concern'd of this I am assured that his publishing the above named book consisting of two parts the far greater part of the former being by his own acknowledgment written 3 or 4 years before and nothing newly added and immediatly directed against the Doctor but barely the 6.7 and 8. Chapters with the answer to the Doctors letter and the latter part being wholly made up of papers which had passed so many years before between the learned Mr. Christ Cartwright and himself concerning his Aphorismes his publishing I say these in answer to the Doctors book which came out some time after was generally looked upon as a scornful slighting and very unfair way of his And tho he thinks fit to call the Doctor in the general Epistle to the Reader more than once a worthy Person yet for all this in the very entrance on the 6 Chapt. of the first part he sufficiently discovers his anger against him in liberally bestowing on a great part of his Justificatio Paulina this foul character viz. that it is defective in point of truth justice charity ingenuity and pertinency to the matter But his published papers wrot long before those books to which they are very improperly by him called answers is not unusual with him and the ingenious and learned Mr. Hen. Dodwell hath not long since complained of this his unjust usuage in relation to himself To conclude since the publishing of the said Justificatio Paulina the author thereof is charactarized by some Church men and Fanaticks to have been a main pillar of the Chur. in defence of her true doctrine Nay and long before it was published a certain hot headed Fanatick tells us in a book afterwards by him made extant that he Tully with Mr. Tho. Barlow did keep this University of Oxon from being poyson'd with Pelagianism Socinianisme Popery c. The other things that Dr. Tully hath written are these A Letter to Mr. Rich.

Hine M. of Arts of Merton Coll. EDWARD WEST son of Tho. West of the antient borough of Northampton Gent. became a Communer of Ch.

Maries Hall where continuing till he was Master of that faculty took the Ministry upon him according to the Presbyterian way and was benefic'd After his Majesties
return in 1665 he lived for some time in and near London and thence going to Stratford before mentioned and afterwards to Warwick setled in the last of the said places practised Physick and in the Summer-time retired to Bathe at both which places he gained repute and many Patients by the diligence and care he took in his Profession As for his Writings they are many and of various subjects some of which that he published before the Kings restauration were against Monarchy Ministers Universities Churches c. provoking all men to whom those interests were dear He then trampled as one that wrote against him saith on the ashes of his martyr'd Sovereign defended and adored his murtherers stiled all our Kings a succession of Usurpers endeavoured the extirpation of Monarchy and planting a Democracy of Independents Anabaptists Fifth-monarchy men and Quakers in its room He hath represented the meekest justest and best of Kings as an hateful Tyrant and called our now Soveraign Ch. 2. an Usurper He then did write malitiously against Ministry Universities c. and vindicated the Quakers and the rest of the wildest and most dangerous Phanaticks c. But why our Author Stubbe did write so he 'll tell you 't was to serve his Patron Sir Hen. Vane and to express his gratitude to him who relieved him when he was a child and after and that because the quarrels and animosities grew high betwixt the Presbyterians and Sir H. Vane's Friends he sided therefore with him My youth saith he and other circumstances incapacited me from rendring him any great services but all that I did and all that I wrot had no other aim nor do I care how much any man can inodiate my former Writings as long as that they were subservient to him c. The truth is all that knew him here in Oxon knew this of him for certain that he was no frequenter of Conventicles no taker of the Covenant or Engagement no contracter of acquaintance with notorious Sectaries that he neither enriched or otherwise advanced himself during the late troubles or shared the common odium and dangers or prosperity of his Benefactor Some years after the Kings restauration he took pet against the Royal Society for which before he had a great veneration and being encouraged by Dr. Jo. Fell no admirer of that Society became in his Writings an inveterate Enemy against it for several pretended reasons among which were first that the members thereof intended to bring a contempt upon antient and solid Learning upon Aristotle to undermine the Universities and reduce them to nothing or at least to be very inconsiderable Secondly that at long running to destroy the established Religion and involve the Nation in Popery and I know not what c. So dextrous was his pen whether pro or con that few or none could equal answer or come near him He was a person of most admirable parts had a most prodigious memory tho his enemies would not acknowledge it but said he read Indexes was the most noted Latinist and Greecian of his age and after he had been put upon it was so great an enemy to the Virtuosi of his time I mean those of the R. Society that as he saith they alarm'd him with dangers and troubles even to the hazard of his life and fortunes He was a singular Mathematician and thoroughly read in all political matters Councils ecclesiastical and profane Histories He had a voluble tongue and was very seldom known to hesitate either in publick disputes or common discourse His Voice was big and magisterial and his mind was equal to it He was of a high generous nature scorn'd money and riches and the adorers of them which being natural to him was one of the chief reasons why he hated the Presbyterians whom he always found to be false undermining poor spirited void of generous souls sneaking sniveling c. He was accounted a very good Physitian and excellent for those matters that compleat it as Simpling Anatomy and Chymistry and in the times of Usurpation that is while Oliver and Richard ruled when then he thought it the Nations interest to subvert the true Monarchy of England he was passionately addicted to the new Philosophy and motion'd several ways for the introducing it amongst the Gentry and Youth of this Nation and the reason was as he l saith that it would render all the Clergy contemptible lessen the esteem and reverence in the Church and make them seem egregious Fools in matters of common discourse But as he was so admirably well qualified with several sorts of Learning and a generous Spirit so he was very unhappy in this that he was extream rash and imprudent and wanted common discretion to manage his parts He was a very bold man utter'd any thing that came into his mind not only among his Companions but in publick Coffey-houses of which he was a great frequenter and would often speak his mind of particular persons then accidentally present without examining the company he was in for which he was often repremanded and several times threatned to be kick'd and beaten He had a hot and restless head his hair being carret-colour'd and was ever ready to undergo any enterprize which was the chief reason that macerated his body almost to a Skeleton He was also a person of no fix'd Principles and whether he believed those things which every good Christian doth 't is not for me to resolve Had he been endowed with common sobriety and discretion and not have made himself and his learning mercenary and cheap to every ordinary and ignorant Fellow he would have been admired by all and might have pick'd and choos'd his Preferment But all these things being wanting he became a ridicule and undervalued by sober and knowing Scholars and others too His Writings and Translations are these Horae subsecivae seu Prophetiae Jonae Historiae Susannae paraphrasis Graeca versibus heroicis Lond. 1651. oct To which are added his Translation into Greek of Miscellanea quaedam Epigrammata à Th.

Birchead of All 's Coll. In the said vol. are our Author Stubbe his Deliciae Poetarum Anglicanorum in Graecum translatae which were printed again at Oxon. 1658. in oct and had at the end added to them by him Elogiae Romae Venetiarum A severe enquiry into the late Oneirocrita or an exact account of the grammatical part of the Controversie between Mr. Thom. Hobbes and John Wallis D. D. Lond. 1657. qu. In the said book the Author Stubbe
a great admirer of the said Hobbes with whom he was intimately acquainted doth speak freely of Dr. Wallis and why he doth so is because as he tells us he was Sub-scribe to the Tribe of Adoniram i. e. Adoniram Byfield was Scribe to Assembly of Divines and had been an active Preacher in the first War and decyphered besides others to the ruin of many loyal persons the Kings Cabinet taken at Naseby and as a monument of his noble performances deposited the original with the decyphering in the publick Library at Oxford He tells us also that he the said Doctor was then the glory and pride of the Presbyterian faction which our Author Stubbe hated for his Patrons sake In the said Enquiry he tells us that he hath penned a farther discourse upon that subject but that I suppose was never printed The Savilian Professours case stated Together with the several reasons urged against his capacity of standing for the publick office of Antiquary in the University of Oxon. Which are enlarged and vindicated against the Exceptions of Dr. Joh. Wallis c. Lond. 1658. in 3 sh and an half in qu. The famous Dr. Rich. Zouche who had been an Assessor in the Chancellours Court for 30 years or more and well vers'd in the Statutes Liberties and Privileges of the University did upon great intreaties stand for the said place of Antiquary or Custos Archivorum thereof but he being esteemed a Royalist Dr. J. W. was put up and stood against him tho altogether uncapable of that place because he was one of the Savilian Professors a Cambridge man and a stranger to the usages of the University At length by some corruption or at least connivance of the Vicechancellour and perjury of the senior Proctor Byfield W. was pronounced elected Whereupon our Author Stubbe who was an eye and an ear-witness of all that had most unjustly passed he therefore wrot and published the said book The Commonwealth of Israel or a brief account of Mr. Prynne's anatomy of the Good old cause Lond. 1659. in oct An Essay in defence of the Good old Cause or a discourse concerning the rise and extent of the power of the Civil Magistrate in reference to spiritual Affairs c.

Before I go any farther with the remaining titles of our Author Stubbes's books I must make a digression and tell you why this book was written and who the subject of it was Be it known therefore that this Val. Greatrakes son of Will. Gr. Esq was born at Affane in the County of Waterford in Ireland on S. Valentines day 14 Feb. 1628 was bred a Protestant in the Free-school at Lismore and at 13 years of age was designed to be a Student in the Coll. at Dublin but the Rebellion breaking out in that Nation he was forced with his mother to fly for refuge into England where by the favour of his Uncle Edm. Harris brother to Sir Edw. Harris Knight his mothers father he was for the present time relieved After his death his mother for his farther progress in literature committed him to the charge of a certain Presbyterian called Joh. Daniel Getsius a High German Minister of Stoke Gabriel in Devonshire with whom he spent some years in studying Humanity and Divinity and found from his hands much favour and love After 5 or 6 years absence he returned to his native Country at that time in a most miserable and deplorable Estate which made him retire to the Castle of Caperquin where he spent an years time in contemplation and saw so much of the madness and wickedness of the world as he saith that his life became a burthen to him and his soul was as weary of this habitation of clay as ever was Gally-slave of the oar which brought his life even to the threshold of death so that his legs had hardly strength to carry his enfeebled body about c. In 1649 or thereabouts he became a Lieutenant in the Regiment of Roger Earl of Orrery then acting in Munster against the Irish Papists and others then called the Rebels and in 1656 a great part of the Army there of the English being disbanded he retired to his native country of Affane the habitation of his Ancestors and by the favour of the then Governor he was made Clerk of the Peace of the County of Corke Register for Transplantation and Justice of the Peace After his Majesties Restauration he was removed as I have heard from
the Popish Plot was discovered but also wrot and published divers books in vindication of the Church of Rome and thereby gained the character by the men of that party of the prime Champion of England to stand up for their Cause A noted Author of the English Church saith that the author of the Guide in Controversies Ab. Woodhead is a person most highly famed among the Roman Catholicks and that he is in his opinion the most ingenious and solid writer of the whole Rom. Party His Works plainly shew him to have been a person of sound and solid judgment well read in the Fathers and in the polemical Writings of the most eminent and renowned Defenders of the Church of England who have quite down from the Reformation successfully managed the Protestant Cause against Rome He was so wholly devoted to retirement and the prosecutions of his several studies that no worldly concerns shared any of his affections only satisfying himself with bare necessaries and so far from coveting applause or preferment tho perhaps the compleatness of his learning and great worth might have given him as just and fair a claim to both as any others of his perswasion that he used all endeavours to secure his beloved privacy and conceal his name And altho he obtained these his desires in great part yet his calm temperate and rational discussion of some of the most weighty and momentous Controversies under debate between the Protestants and Romanists rendred him an Author much fam'd and very considerable in the esteem of both He hath written very many things some of which were published in his life time and some after his death all without his own name or initial letters of it set to them The Catalogue of most of them follow A brief account of ancient Church Government with a reflection on several moderne Writings of the Presbyterians The Assembly of Divines their Jus divinum Ministerii Anglicani published 1654 and Dr. Blondel's Apologia pro sententia Hieronymi and others touching this subject Lond. 1662 and 85 in four parts in a thin quart This book was generally reported to have been written by him yet a certain R.

home to the house of his Patron the Earl of Devon he published two books one De Corpore and another De Homine The first was oppugned by two Theologists who were afterwards ashamed as 't is said of what they had done the other rested untouched Soon after he published others the titles of which I shall give you anon and only now say that tho he hath an ill name from some and good from others yet he was a person endowed with an excellent Philosophical soul was a contemner of riches mony envy the world c. He was charitable and beneficial to his Relations and others He was a severe lover of Justice and endowed with great Morals Among those that he lived with and was conversant he was cheerful open and free of his discourse yet without offence to any which he endeavoured always to avoid Many writers do speak honorably of him in their respective works and Dr. Sam. Sorbiere his great acquaintance doth mention him with venerable respect in the Relation of his voyage into England and tells us also that his picture which was drawn by the hand of Sam. Cooper the Prince of Limners of the age he lived in hangs in his Majesties Closet at Whitehall His Picture also hath been in great esteem in France insomuch that the Vertuosi thereof have come as 't were in Pilgrimage to the house of Sorbiere to see it Outlandish Gentlemen also when they came to London during the life time of the author did make it one of their employes to visit him and Cosmo Prince since the Great Duke of Tuscany went to him more than once in the month of May 1669 and discoursed and was pleasant with him He also expressed so great veneration for him that he and some of his Genltemen carried with them all his published works His Majesty also K. Ch. 2. delighted in his company when he learned Mathematicks of him and express'd his esteem so much of him after his restauration that he allowed him a pension of an 100 l. per an out of his Exchecquer He was most excellently well skill'd in the Lat. and Gr. tongues was a great Critick and Poet and above all a Philosopher and Mathematician yet in his last dayes after he had been exasperated by certain Academians especially of Oxon he express'd himself in his writings an enemy to the Universities Scholastical Divinity Metaphysicks Aristotle Duns Scotus c. To conclude A man he was of excellent parts as a noted author tells us of great wit some reading and somewhat more thinking One who had spent many years in foreign parts and observation understood the learned as well as the modern languages had long the reputation of a great Philosopher and Mathematician and in his age had conversation with very many worthy and extraordinary men to which it may be if he had been more indulgent in the more vigorous part of his life it might have had an influence upon the temper of his mind whereas age seldom submits to those questions enquiries and contradictions which the laws and liberties of conversation require And it hath been always a lamentation amongst Mr. Hobbes his friends that he spent too much time in thinking and too little in exercising those thoughts in the company of other men of the same or of as good faculties for want whereof his natural constitution with age contracted such a morosity that doubting and contradicting men were never grateful to him In a word besides his eminent parts of learning and knowledg he was always looked upon as a man of probity and a life free from scandal c. The books and other things that he hath written are these De Mirabilibus Pecci This is a lat poem and was printed at Lond about 1636 and the second time there in 1666 in qu.

Review of the Leviathan Print only with the English editions and in the place of that in those of the Lat. is an Appendix consisting barely of three chapters As for the Review and the writing thereof an eminent author will give you a better account than I can therefore I pray go to him It is said by one who was no friend to K. Ch. 2. or Monarchy that the author Mr. Hobbes being at Paris when his book was published he sent one of them as a present to the King of Scots which he accepted in regard he had been his Tutor in the Mathematicks but being afterwards informed by some of his Priests that that book did not only contain many Principles of Atheism and gross impiety for so they call every thing that squares not with the Clergy interest but also such that were prejudicial to the Church and reflected dangerously upon the Majesty of Soveraign Princes therefore when Mr. Hobbes came to make a tender of his service to him in person he was rejected and word brought him by the Marquess of Ormonde that the King would not admit him and withal told him the reason By which means Mr. Hobbes declines in credit with his friends there of the Royal Stamp c. Many have been the authors that have written against this Leviathan as may be seen in Auctarium Vitae Hobbianae and partly in the body of this work But more by far have been the censures of it and those severe too as having no true Divinity or true Philosophy or true policy in it The author several times saith that the law of nature is the law of God and yet all wickedness is lawful by the law of nature That no Homicide or Selfcide or Fratricide or Patricide is against the law of nature If so 't is a wise law that forbids nothing Also that there must be a law of God winking at most unnatural impieties That which forbids nothing is no law As for policy he lays the foundation of the government in the populace which overthrows all government and that might is right But if he had consulted the Scripture the word of God would have shewed that the foundation of government was not laid in
the people Read the Assyrian monarchy and the rest and you 'll find that the beginning of government was not in the people See the story of Romulus and there is the contrary 'T is true people are causa sine qua non but no finite The power of the key is not given by God out of the commune of the people nor the power of the sword As for Philosophy 't is enough that he kicks off Aristotle a man admired by all ages and all persons as a wise secretary of nature There are some things or scales of the Leviathan which the Reader cannot conceive to be impregnable as yet till he see farther and plainer proofs of them as 1 That the Soveraign hath no power but from the people and that it is only the mutual consent of the major part transferring their natural right upon him that makes it so cap. 18. 2 That the Parent hath no right or power of dominion over the Child by generation as his Parent or because he begat him but only by the Childs consent either express or by other sufficient arguments declared cap. 20. 3 That the Victor can have no right or dominion over the vanquished but only by the vanquisheds consent c. ibid. And as for those matters which are looked upon as blasphemous by some Scholars and others I shall refer the reader to a little pamphlet entit A Beacon set on fire c. Lond. 1652. qu. p. 14.15 This book of the Leviathan which hath a great name among and is much celebrated by many contains in it notwithstanding some very odd principles good learning of all kinds politely extracted and very wittingly and cunningly disgested in a very commendable method and in a vigorous and pleasant stile which hath prevailed over too many to swallow many new tenets as maxims without chewing which manner of diet for the indisgestion Mr. Hobbes himself did much dislike c. At length after the Parliament had censur'd it as also the book of Purgatory written by Tho. de Albiis in the month of Oct. 1666 in which month a Bill was brought into the House against Atheisme and Profaneness and some of the principal Heads of this University had found therein as in that De Cive several positions destructive to the sacred persons of Princes their state and government and of all humane society the venerable Convocation did by their judgment and decree past among them on the 21. of July 1683 condemn them as pernitious and damnable and thereupon caused the said two books to be publickly burnt with others of the like nature in their School court or quadrangle just after the dissolution of that Convocation Our author Hobbes also hath written Compendium of Aristotles Rhetorick and Ramus his Logick Letter about liberty and necessity Lond. 1654. in tw There again 1684. oct 3d. edit On this letter were observations made and written by Dr. Ben.

L'estrange Esq wherein also you 'll find his Petition to the Supreme Authority the Parliam of the Commonwealth of England for the pardon of his life and estate for being engaged in the Plot before mention'd in which Petition being asserted by him that Possession and strength give a right to govern and success in a cause or enterprise proclaims it to be lawful and just c. it was by the decree and judgment of the Univ. of Oxon past in their Convocation 21 July 1683 burnt with certain books in the School Quadrangle as destructive to the sacred person of Princes their state and government c. Our author Dr. Durell hath also written against the aforesaid two Apologies a book intit Sanctae Ecclesiae Anglicanae adversus iniquas atque inverecundas schismaticorum criminationes Vindiciae c. Lond. 1669. qu. In which Vindiciae the author doth only by the by sometimes take notice of the former or first Apologist as thinking him unworthy of any larger confutation but the other Hickman he answers more fully and designedly in his citations following his second edition As for the character given of the said Vindiciae hear what Mathew Scrivner saith in the place before cited in relation to his answer to Hen. Hickman Justo volumine contemptissimi istius capitis veternos nuper obtrivit Durellus fecitque vanissimum autorem inter pueros immodestiae amicitiae suae infelicissimum deplorare exitum And what Lew. du Moulin delivers of it is that it is more offensive to the Puritans than the other book intit A view of the Government c. And therefore against it came out soon after a small piece intit Bonasus vapulans or some Castigations given to Mr. Joh. Durell for fowling himself and others in his English and Lat. book Lond. 1672. in a small oct said to be written by a Country Scholar yet generally believed to have been pen'd by Hickman before mentioned Which book with some additions and alterations came out again with this new title The Nonconformists vindicated from the abuses put upon them by Mr. Durell and Mr. Scrivner Lond. 1679. oct Of which edition and notorious falsities expressed in the title I shall give you an account when I come to H. Hickman Dr. L. du Moulin published also another book against it without his name set to it bearing this title Patronus bonae fidei in causa Puritanorum contra Hierarchas Anglos ut disceptatur in specimene confutationis Vindiciarum clariss viri Joh. Durelli cujus periculum fit cum passim in ejus opere tum Maxime in capite primo in quo agitur de authoribus nuperorum motuum in Anglia Lond. 1672. oct This book hath five distinct running titles all differently paged to the end that the sheets so printed might the better by that means escape the Searchers of the Press The titles are 1. Epistola 2 Specimen 3. Prodromus 4. Defensor and 5. Patronus c. This Patronus bonae fidei tho fraught with scurrilities and the utmost malice and bitterness in which the author whose excellency laid in ill natur'd Satyr could possibly express himself against the Ch. of England and some of her most eminent as well dead as living Propugners yet it is cited more than once as a piece of notable authority in Will Jenkyns's Celeusma seu clamor ad caelum c. Lond. 1677. qu. In which book when the author refers you to the said Patronus bonae fidei the Writer thereof Moulin is characterized as doctissimus clariss and eruditiss possibly as we may justly conceive for his performance in that work Nay 't is not only quoted as a very authentick piece by the said Jenkyns but is cited by Dr. Tho. Godden the great and eminent Rom. Cath. Writer against the Church of England in his Dialogues wrot in defence of Catholicks no Idolaters against Dr. Stillingfleet as a Treatise to be credited in its account of some practices and usuages in the Ch. of England but chiefly of bowing towards the Altar To which citation from Du Moulin Dr. Stillingfleet replies in his book intit Several Conferences between a Romish Priest a fanatic Chaplain and a Divine of the Ch. of England being a full answer to the late Dialogues of T. G. In the pages here quoted in the margin you 'll find an account of the great Knight-service which L. du Moulin did for the Papists and what wonderful good use they made of him besides the sharp character given of his performance in Patronus bonae fidei which I presume could not be over pleasing to that proud and haughty French-man A farther account of him and his Writings is in Dr. Rob. Grove his Defensio suae responsionis ad nuperum libellum qui inscribitur Celeusma c. adversus reputationem ab authore Celeusmatis editum but more particularly from the said Groves former piece called Responsio ad Celeusma c. In the 15 page of this last mention'd book you have this close and smart character of some of this French Doctors most considerable performances thus Erat aliquando tempus cum tu excusatius peccares cum esses olim Irenaeus Philadelphus an 1641 qui à te laesi erant temeritati tuae veniam dabant cum Paraenesin scriberes an 1656 te opus viribus tuis majus aggredi putabant cum Causae jugulum peteres anno 1671 delirare credebant cum Bonae fidei Patronum ederes 1672 insanire videberis nunc autem postquam Ecclesiae Anglicanae progressus ad Papismum emisisti omnes te jam furore arbitrantur c. Altho these Vindiciae of Dr. Durell are well known to be written in good Latin yet Dr. Du Moulin makes such a boasting fulsome comparison between the goodness of Dr. Durell's stile in this book and that of his own in his Patr. bon fidei c. by a strange kind of modesty giving himself the preeminence in such unbecoming extravagant Language that Mr. Mat. Scrivener could not but take particular notice of and reflect on this notable piece of self flattery among other passages

In this book as in some other of his works he doth strangely affect in ambiguous and uncouth words canting mystical and unintelligible phrases to obscure sometimes the plainest and most obvious truths And at other times he endeavours by such a mist and cloud of sensless terms to draw a kind of vail over the most erroneous doctrines But against this book came out another long after written by Dr. Will.

Sir John Marsham now of Cuxton Baronet who is writing The History of England much more exact as 't is said than any yet extant and Sir Robert of Bushy hall Knight who succeeded his Father in the place of Six Clerk In the possession of the first of these two is Sir Johns Library which tho diminished by the fire that hapned in London 1666 yet it is considerable and highly to be valued for the exquisite remarks in the margin of most of the books and in the possession of the other is his Cabinet of Greek Medals as curious as any private collection whatsoever ANDREW ALLAM the son of a sufficient Plebeian of both his names by Bridget Derling his Wife was born at Garsingdon near to and in the County of Oxon in Apr. 1655 and baptized there on the 23 of the same month educated in Grammar learning in a private School at Denton in the Parish of Cudesdon near to his native place under a noted Master named Will. Wildgoose M. of Arts of Brasn Coll. much fam'd for his dexterity in Pedagogy became a Batler of S. Edmunds Hall in Easter term 1671 where had it not been his misfortune to fall under the tuition of a careless and crazed person he might have prov'd a prodigy in several sorts of learning After he had taken the degrees in Arts he became a Tutor Moderator a Lecturer in the Chappel and at length Vice-principal of his House In all which offices he behaved himself much to the credit honor and flourishing thereof In 1680 at Whitsontide he entred into holy Orders and in 83 he was one of the Masters of the Schools which last place he executed with very great judgment and prudence He was a person of eminent virtues was sober temperate moderate and modest even to example He understood the controversial writings between Conformâ—sts and Nonconformists Protestants and Papists far beyond his years which was advanc'd by a great and happy memory And I am perswaded had he not been taken off by the said Offices he would have gone beyond all of his time and age in those matters and might have proved an useful and signal member to the Church of England for which he had most zealous respect He understood the world of men well authors better and nothing but years and experience were wanting in to make him a compleat walking Library His works that are extant are 1 The learned Preface or Epistle to the Reader with a dedicatory Epist in the Printers name set before The Epistle Congratulatory of Lysimachus Nicanor c. to the Covenanters of Scotland c.

Edm. Hall They were made by Mr. Allam in the edit of that book printed at Lond. 1684. and were all as I presume inserted in that edition which came out at that place in 1687 but without any acknowledgment with shame be it spoken from the author of that Notitia who neither returned those thanks that he ought out of common civility to have done or granted him his company or acquaintance when he went to Lond to desire it purposely to communicate such things by word of mouth which he could not without great trouble by his Pen concerning various matters in that book 5 He also began and made divers additions in Helvicus his Historical and Chronological Theatre as occasion required and would have quite finished the supplement at the end from 1660 to 1685 had he not been cut off by cruel death These things were printed with that author at Lond. 1687 fol But the Reader is to understand that whereas there was a colom in that book of the said editi-of 1687 made to contain the names of the famous Jesuits from the first foundation of their order to the year 1685 which was not in any of the Latine editions 't was not done by Allam but by a busie body nor that passage under the year 1678 which runs thus Titus Oates discovers a pretended Popish Plot. 6 He had laid the foundation of a Notitia Ecclesiae Anglicanae wherein he would have spoken of the foundation of all Cathedrals with a touch of their Statutes and Customs Which done to set down the names of the present Bishop Dean Archdeacon Cannons and Officers of each Cathedral but death also prevented the finishing this He also many times lent his assisting hand to the author of this present work especially as to the Notitia of certain modern writers of our Nation while the said author was day and night drudging after those more antient For the truth is which hath been a wonder to him since his death he understood well what he wanted and what would be fit for him to be brought into this work which none else in the University could as he and the author knew full well to their great reluctancy or would give any assistance or encouragement Further it must not be forgotten that he translated into English The Life of Iphicrates written in Lat. by Corn. Nepos and remitted into the book of Lives of that author translated by several Oxford hands Oxon. 1684. oct p. 99 c. At length after a great deal of fear of and avoidance from the disease called the Small pox he was in unseasonable weather overtaken by it so that being not able to overcome its encounters he did surrender up his spotless soul being too worthy for this world and the people he lived with and was wedded to his Saviour Jesus Ch. on the 17. of June about noon in sixteen hundred eighty and five whereupon his body was buried the same day late at night at the west end of the Church of S.
which was shortly after as I shall tell you anon So that whereas he was first a Presbyterian and afterwards a true Son of the Church of England he was then esteemed by the generallity especially when his Reasons for abrogating the Test were published very popishly enclined It was about that time said that he seemed very much to favour the Cath. Cause that he proposed in Council whether it was not expedient that at least one College in Oxford should be allowed Catholicks that they might not be forced to be at so much charges by going beyond the Seas to study The same Bishop inviting two Noblemen R. Cath. to a banquet drank the Kings health to an heretical Baron there wishing a happy success to all his affairs and he added that the Faith of the Protestants in England seemed to him but to be little better than that of Buda was before it was taken and that they were for the most part meer Atheists that defended it c. Thus a certain Jesuit of Liege to another at Friburg in a letter dat 2. Feb. 1687. And father Edm. Petre another Jesuit one of the Privy Council to K. Jam. 2. tells us in the same month that the Bishop of Oxon has not yet declared himself openly the great obstacle is his wife whom he cannot rid himself of his design being to continue Bishop and only change Communion as it is not doubted but the King will permit and our holy father confirm tho I do not see how he can be further useful to us in the Religion in which he is because he is suspected and of no esteem among the Hereticks of the English Church nor do I see that the example of his Conversion is like to draw many others after him because he declared himself so suddenly If he had believ'd my counsel which was to temporize for some longer time he would have done better but it is his temper or rather zeal that hurried him on c. But to let pass these and other matters which are related of him by that party the Roman Catholicks I shall proceed to give you an account of his published writings which are these Tentamina Physico-Theologica de Deo sive Theologia Scholastica c. lib. 2.
