F. a book called Virtus rediviva A Panegyrick on the late King Charles the first of ever blessed memory attended with several ingenious pieces from the same pen. Whether Thom. Flatman was th● author of these Poems I cannot justly tell because they are not among his Songs and Poems In the next year was published a piece in prose intit Don Juan Lamberto or a comical history of the late times with a wooden cut before it containing the pictures of Giant Desborough with a great club in his right hand and of Lambert both leading under the arms the meek Knight i. e.

Bride alias Bridget near to the rails of the Communion-table under a grave-stone with inscription and verses thereon which he had sometime before caused to be laid on his son there buried This person whose father a Clerk in the Chancery was then living in the 80 year of his age or more was in his younger days much against marriage to the dislike of his said father and made a song describing the cumbrances of it beginning thus Like a dog with a bottle ty'd close to his tail Like a Tory in a bog or a thief in a jayle c.

Ward Master of that house who being much taken with his ingenuity and industry as also with the suavity of his nature did soon after make him Scholar of the said house And because he was of the same Sirname many supposed that he was of kin occasion'd by the Doctor 's great kindness to him But there was no relation at all between them only the consimility of their dispositions which made a greater

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 contracting 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. Scholastica's day an 1685. Whereupon his body being conveyed to the parochial 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 after 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 Collections 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 endured 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 Le ts now go on with the Creations Nov. 1.
