Afterwards when our Author Walker who was a severe Puritan beheld the profanation of the Lords day he preached against it and other Practices and Opinions which procured him trouble and two years imprisonment as 't is said After the Long Parliament began he preached against the King and his Followers and published several things which before he was not permitted to do among which were 1 Socinianism in the fundamental point of justification discovered and confuted c. Lond. 1641. oct 2 The doctrine of the holy weekly sabbath c. Lond. 1641. c. In the year 1643 he was chosen one of the Assembly of Divines preached sometimes before the Members of Parliament and had his Sermons made publick one of which is ent Fast-sermon before the House of Commonâ— 9 Jan. 1644 on Psalm 58. 9.

He hath also other things extant as God made visible in all his works c. pr. 1641. qu. c. which for brevity sake I now pass by and only tell you that he died in 1651 aged about 70 and was buried in his Church of S. John before mention'd Edw. Martin Bach. of Div. He was afterwards Doctor of that Faculty domestick Chaplain to Archb. Laud and Rector of Houghton Conquest in Bedfordshire and of Dunnington in Cambridgshire but being a zealous man for the Church of England was turned out of those livings by the Committee of Religion as you may largely see in that infamous libel ent The first Century of scandalous malignant Priests c. p. 41. He lost other spiritualities and suffer'd much for the Kings Cause notwithstanding he was a godly and learned man All that seems bad of him you may see in Canterburies Doom published by Will. Prynne an inveterate enemy to Prelacy good order in the Church Arminianism or any thing that look'd that way Foulk Robarts Bach. of Div. In Feb. 1616 he became Probendary of Norwich on the death of Hugh Castleton which he held to the time of his death in the interval or broken times He hath written 1 The revenew of the Gospel is tithes due to Ministery of the word by that word in Tim. 1. 5. 18.

Drayton and had a considerable hand in dishing out The Odcombian Banquet an 1611. Later in time than the former give me leave to divert my self I find another Christop Brooke who married a daughter of the famous Mathematician Will. Oughtred having been by him before initiated in Mathematicks Afterwards he became a maker and framer of mathematical Instruments and the publisher of 1 A new Quadrant of more natural easie and manifold performance than any one heretofore extant pr. in 1649 in 2 sheets in oct having been the invention of Oughtred 2 The solution of all sphaerical Triangles bâ—th right and oblique by the planisphaere c.

The said Robert whom also I find to occur by the title of Knight was a great man of his time and so highly valued by the Emperour of Persia that he not only sent him Embassadour to Sigismond the 3. King of Poland as also to K. Jam. 1. of England an 1612. for he arrived at London 26. June that year but was pleased to give him his Neice in Marriage and to confer upon him honour and riches As to the general performances of the aforesaid 3 Brothers I know the affidavit of a Poet carrieth but a small credit in the Court of History and the Comedy made of them intit The travailes of three English Brothers Sir Thomas Sir Anthony and Rob.

Alph. Curiel who was wont to call Barnes by the name of John Huss because of a spirit of contradiction which was always observed in him After he had finished his course of studies he took upon him the habit of S. Benedict with a resolution then to live and dye in it and about that time was sent into the Mission of England to strengthen the Brethren but being taken and imprisoned was sent into Normandy with certain Priests and Jesuits Soon after he was by his Superior sent into Lorain where he taught Divinity in the English Monastery of Benedictines called Dieuward or Dieuleward and was there by the fraternity and others too esteemed profound in that great faculty tho he cared not to make shew of it much less to have any thing of his composition published After he had left Dieuleward he became a Professor either of Div. or Philosophy in Marchein college in Doway where also he gained to himself the name of an eminent Divine and Philosopher Thence he crossed the Seas and setled for a time in England where he fell out with his Superiors for refusing to submit to the Union
