Ferrers of Baldesley-Clynton in Warwickshire Esq was born in that County became a Student in this University in Hart hall as it seems in the beginning of the raign of Qu. Elizabeth but whether he took a degree it doth not appear Afterwards he retired to his Patrimony which was considerable and prosecuting his natural Genie to the study of Heraldry Genealogies and Antiquities became highly valued for his eminent knowledge in them whereby he did not only give a fair lustre to his ancient and noble family whereof he was no small ornament but also to the County of his nativity He was well known to and respected by the Learned Camden who in his Discourse of the antiquity of the City of Coventry in Warwickshire doth make this honorable mention of him Thus much of Coventry yet have you not all this of me but willingly to acknowledge by whom I have profited of Henry Ferrers of Baldesley a man both for parentage and for knowledge of antiquity very commendable and my special friend who both in this place and also elsewhere hath at all times curteously shewed me the right way when I was out and from his Candle as it were hath lightened mine What this Mr. Ferrers hath published I know not sure I am that he made several volums of choice collections one of which in fol. containing Pedegrees I have seen in the Sheldonian Library now in that of the college of Arms from which but chiefly from those of Sir Sim.

He makes that generally in them all doctrinal which is but in some few personally practiced But our author Foster tho he hath written rationally and in his book hath shew'd great reading yet he hath been answered not without some scorn by Rob. Fludd Doctor of Physick as I shall tell you elsewhere This Will. Foster lived some years after the publication of his Sponge but when he died or what other things he hath extant I cannot yet tell EDWARD WESTON Son of Will. Weston sometimes of Linc. coll afterwards one of the Society of Lincolns Inn by his Wife Daughter of John Story LL. D. of whom I have made mention under the year 1571. was born in London and at about 12 or 13 years of age an 1578. was sent to the said coll of Lincoln where he had a Tutor that taught him Grammar and Logick for a time Afterwards being taken thence by his Parents he was put under the tuition of Dr. Joh.

Eliz. while she was Lady Eliz. who as 't is reported usually said that she had blest many of her Godsons but now this Godson should bless her He gave way to fate on the seventh day of May in sixteen hundred and fifteen year 1625 and was buried in the Cath.

Mountague was educated in the University of Cambridge was Master of Sydney coll and there noted for his piety vertue and learning Afterwards he was made Dean of the Royal Chappel then B. of Rathe afterwards of Winchester as t is before told you and for his faithfulness dexterity and prudence in weighty affairs the King chose him to be one of his Privy Council By his last Will and Testament he made choice of the said antient Church for the place of his Sepulture which among many other monuments of piety he repaired to his great charge When K. James came first to the Crown he was made Dean of his Chappel as before 't is told you which place he held not only when he was B. of Bathe and Wells but of Winchester also And being a great stickler in the quarrels at Cambridge and a great Master in the Art of insinuation had cunningly as one observes fashioned K. James unto certain Calvinian opinions to which the Kings education in the Kirk of Scotland had before inclined him So that it was no very hard matter for him having an Archb. also of his own perswasion to make use of the Kings authority for recommending the nine Articles to the Church of Ireland which he found would not be admitted in the Church of England HENRY ROWLANDS was born in the Parish of Mellteyrn in LLyn in Caernarvanshire educated in the School at Penllech was admitted a Student in the University about 1569. took the degrees in Arts as a member of New coll that of Master being compleated in 1577. and soon after became Rector of La●●ton near Bister alias Burchester in Oxfordshire In 1598.

Ch. at Bangor among the sepulchres of the Bishops By his last Will and Test he bequeathed moneys for the erection of a School at Mellteyrn or Bottunog where he was born and christned In the See of Bangor succeeded Lewes Bayly whom I have mention'd at large among the writers under the year 1632. HENRY ROBINSON was born within the City of Carlile in Cumberland became a poor serving child of Queens coll about the year 1568. afterwards Tabarder and at length Fellow being then esteemed an excellent Disputant and Preacher In 1581. he was unanimously elected Provost of his college which office he enjoying about 18. years restored it in that time and made it flourish after it had continued many years but in a mean condition occasion'd by the negligence of former Governours In 1590. he proceeded in div and in 98. being nominated and elected to the See of Carlile was consecrated thereunto by John B. of Lond. Joh. B. of Roch. and Anthony B. of Chich. on the 23. of July in the same year He was a person of great gravity and temperance and very mild in his speech yet as one observeth not of so strong a constitution of body as his countenance did promise He paid his last debt to nature on the 13. of the Cal. of July in sixteen hundred year 1616 and sixteen aged 63. years or more and was buried on the north side of the high Altar in the Cath.

Will Bishop of Rurimund in Gelderland wherein is detected and made manifest the doting dangerous doctrine and haynous heresies of the rash rablement of the hereticks This book was by Lew. Evans entit The betraying of the beastl iness of the Hereticks c. Antw. 1565 in tw Afterwards the said Evans being reconcil'd to the Ch. of England by some of his friends did to shew his zeal for the love he had to it write and publish a book as full of ill language against the Roman Catholicks as the other was as full of good for them entituled The Castle of Christianity detecting the long erring estate as well of the Rom. Church as of the Bishop of Rome Lond. 1568. oct Which being dedicated to Queen Elizab. he saith in his Epistle to her that he himself had once drank of the puddle of ignorance of the mud of idolatry of the pond of superstition c. whereupon great distast being taken by the R. Catholicks the common report flew abroad by their endeavours that he was gone over again to the Church of Rome in which being settled he died in great ease and content These reports being often told to Evans while he was in Oxon by the learnedest there he soon after published a book entit The hateful hypocrisie and rebellion of Romish Prelates Lond. 1570 in tw to which he added these two treatises following A view of certaine rebellions and their ends Four paradoxes First a Bishop and a Minister is all one 2 A Bishop c. Afterwards if I mistake not our Author Evans was a Schoolmaster and was the same Person I think that revised and increased with phrases and necessary additions A short dictionary for young beginners compiled at first by John Withals and by him published at Lond. 1566. in qu. but when the additions of Evans came out I find not Afterwards the said Dictionary was augmented with more than 600 rythmical verses whereof many are proverbial by Abr. Flemmyng a native of London printed at Lond. 1594 qu. In my travels and searches I find one Lew. Evans a Flintshire Man to be a Student of Ch. Ch. in the time of Ed. 6. and to have taken the Degrees in Arts that of Master being compleated 1557 but this Person I presume is not the Author because the Author doth not stile himself in his Books Bach. or Master of Arts. Another Lew. Evans a Brecknockshire Man became Fellow of Oriel C. an 1566 Mast of Arts 1570 and resign'd his Fellowship 1577. A third who was a Monmouehshire Man was matriculated as a Member of Gloc. hall 1574 aged 28. And a fourth also I find to be a Minister of God's word who in the 31 year of his age or more was matric as a member of the same Hall and as a Native of Monmouthshire an 1581. and in 1585 took the Deg. of M. of A. Whether either of these was the Author before-mention'd is to me as yet doubtful or whether the same with Lew. Evans who by the favour of Dr. Piers B. of Sarum became Prebend of Warmister in that Church an 1583 which he resigned in May 1598 I cannot tell or whether the same with Lew. Evans Clerk Parson of Westmeane in Hampshire who died there about the beginning of 1601 leaving then behind him a Wife and Children and houses in Winchester JOHN PARKHURST Son of George Parkhurst was born at Guildford in Surrey sent when very young to Oxon where he was educated in Grammar learning in the School joyning to Magd.

Robertson was elected Probationer Fellow of Merton Coll. in 1529 and three years after proceeding in Arts entred into holy orders tho better then for poetry and oratory than Divinity At length he became Rector of the rich Church of Cleve called by some Bishops Cleve in Glocestershire where he did a great deal of good by his hospitality and charity After the death of K. Ed. 6. he left all for Religion sake and went into voluntary exile to Zurich where remaining till the death of Qu. Mary not without great dangers and afflictions returned when Qu. Eliz. succeeded and was by her made Bishop of Norwych To which See being elected 13. Apr. was consecrated on the first of Sept. and installed by John Salisbury Dean of that Church 27 of the same month an 1560 and about six years after was made D. of D. He hath written and published Epigrammata in mortem duorum fratrum Suffolciensium Caroli Henrici Brandon Lond. 1552. qu. They were the Sons of Charles Brandon Duke of Suffolke and died of the sweating sickness Some of which Epigrams were afterwards published in his Ludicra which I am now to mention Ludicra sive Epigrammata juvenilia Lond. 1573. qu. Which book tho written in his younger days and contains therein more obscurity than the Epigrams of Martial as some say tho I my self cannot perceive it yet while he was Bishop he must needs have it printed alledging that he would not be like Heliodorus to lose his Bishoprick for it He also view'd took pains about and published John Shepreve his Dislicks on the New Test and added thereunto of his own Epigrammata Seria Lond. 1560. oct Most of which seem to be taken from his former book while it remained in MS. See more in Job Shepreve under the Year 1542. At length this Bishop yielded up his last breath in Fifteen hundred seaventy and four and was buried in the body or middle Isle of the Cath. Ch. at Norwych Over his grave was soon after a fair monument of marble raised between two pillars on the S. side of the said middle Isle on which Mon. was his proportion engraven on brass with a gown and square cap on holding his hands together in a praying posture with this inscription engraven on brass also but taken away in the civil war Johannes Parkhurstus Theologiae professor Gylfordiae natus Oxoniae educatus temporibus Mariae Reginae pro nitida conscientia Tigurinae vixit exul voluntarius Postea praesul factus sanctissime hanc rexit ecclesiam 16 annis mortuus est secundo die Februarii an 1574. aetatis suae 63.

Harrison born in the Dioc. of London elected Bachelaur-Fellow of Merton Coll. 1557 admitted M. of Arts in 1560 being then beneficed near to Northampton but he dying 1564 cannot be understood to be the same with the writer Another Will. Harrison I find to be installed Canon of Windsore 1586. being about that time Rector of Radwynter in Essex who dying 1593 was buried at Windsore leaving behind him several Children which he had by his Wife Marian Daughter of Will. Isebrand of Anderne near to Guisnes in Picardie Whether this Will. Harrison be the same with the writer I cannot tell WILLIAM WATKINSON was educated in Ch.

Written in time and printed in an English Character The name of Ulp. Fulwell stands quoted by Jo. Speed in his life of K.

Coll. ●● 1542 he being then Bach. of Arts was made Probationer-fellow of the said House by the name of Rob. Crule but whether he took the Degree of Master of Arts it appears not for likely it is that he left the University when K. Hen. 8. began to settle a mongrel Religion in the Nation When K. Ed. 6. began to Reign he exercised the profession of Printing in Ely rents in Holbourn near to London sold books and at leisure times exercised the gift of Preaching in the great City and elsewhere But upon the succession of Queen Mary he among several English Protestants lest the Kingdom went to Frankfort in Germany and setled there purposely to enjoy the Religion which had been practised in England in the days of K.
