Archer of Umberslade near Tamworth Knight before the year 1656 where he continued for some time At length breaking a vein within him by overstraining himself in speaking became very weak thereupon So that being not able to go on in the Ministry he resigned Solyhull upon some consideration given and went to Sutton Colfield in the said County where after he had lived privately for a short time gave up the ghost in a fair age He was esteemed in his time a man of note especially by those of the Presbyterian perswasion well vers'd in various Authors and a ready Preacher His works are these An Apology in defence of the Geneva Notes on the Bible which were in S.

What the disease was which took him out of this mortal life I know not Neither dare I say says one for all the world that the disease that befell him and of which he died befell him for his fierceness against the Presbyterians and it was the very disease unto which he had compar'd the Presbyterians sermons and it befell him not long after he had made that odious comparison c.

Prynne scurrilously have already to the scandal and disquiet of the Church exercised their pens His Grace hath formerly shewed his dislike of them both and hearing that you take up the bucklers in a theam of so small necessity and of so great heat and distemper which will draw a new Reply for Prynne will not sit down as an idle spectator and beget bitterness and intestine Contestations at home among our selves he is much offended that you do stickle and keep on foot such questions which may be better sopited and silenced than maintained and drawn into sidings and partakings And therefore I am wished to advise you to withdraw your self from these or the like domestick broyles and if your Treatise be at the press to gve it a stop and by no means suffer it to be divulged c.

Walt. Whitford Son of Dr. Walt. Whitford of Monckland in Scotland by cleaving his head asunder with a broad sword Afterwards they quietly departed and 't was not known but privately for some time after who did the fact Within few days following this desperate Attempt coming to the knowledge of the Parliament they became so much enraged that they resolved to sacrifice the life of a certain Royalist of note then in their custody and certainly they had done it had he not made a timely escape Afterwards they caused the body of Dorislaus to be conveyed into England and to be buried with solemnity in the Abbey Church at Westminster on the 14 of June following where continuing till Sept. 1661 was then taken up with the bodies of other Cromwellians and buried in a hole in S.

Ch. of Canterbury built one at his proper charge which whether more curious or more costly was difficult to judge and the same year it was consecrated by John L. Bishop of Oxon. In the beginning of the Long Parliament he shew'd himself a zealous assertor of Episcopacy in the H. of Lords speaking for the function as long as he had any voice left and very pertinently and valiantly defended the antiquity and justice of Bishops votes in the H. of Parliament Afterwards he did not only suffer with his Brethren by having the Lands of his See taken away but by compounding for his temporal Estate which was considerable He hath written Church Lands not to be sold or a necessary and plain answer to the question of a conscientious Protestant whether the Lands of Bishops and Churches in England and Wales may be sold Printed 1646. 48. qu.

By his last Will and Test he left his personal estate for an Hospital or Alms-house to be built as conveniently as might be near the Cath. Ch. of Rochester and Lands for the maintenance therein of twenty poor Widows tho himself had always led a single life the Relicts of Orthodox and Loyal Clergy men and a Chaplain to administer holy things to them according to the Church of England To which Chaplain he bequeathed 50 l. per an and to each of the Widows 20 l. per an always reserving so much out of their exhibition as may keep in good repair the said Hospital or Almeshouse The election of the Chaplain is to be made out of Magd. Coll. in Oxon and not out of any other House And the election of the said 20 Widows is to be made by his Executors for the time being and after their decease by such Trustees as they shall appoint In his life time and at his death he gave a 1000 l. for the encrease of the Library of Magd. Coll. with books Five hundred pounds at his death to buy books for the late erected Library at Rochester Two hundred pounds in his life time for the reparation of Rochester Cathedral and at his death he bequeathed 800 l. more To the repair of S.

But the Overseers of the said Will being not willing to place the said Scholars in that College neither the Master and Fellows thereof altogether willing to receive them thoughts were had of making Glocester Hall a College for them and thereupon till they should come to a final resolution concerning that matter the Scholars for the present time were placed there At length when Dr. Tho. Good became Master of the said Coll. of Balliol which was in 1672 he took order that they should be translated thither where they yet remain JOHN WALL was born of gentile Parents in the City of London elected from Westm School a Student of Ch. Ch. an 1604 aged 17 years took the degrees in Arts holy Orders and afterwards exercised his function for several years in S. Aldates Church in Oxon. In 1614 he proceeded in Divinity being about that time Chaplain as I conceive to Philip Lord Stanhop and in 1632 he was installed Canon of his house in the place of Dr. L. Hutten deceased which he kept to his dying day notwithstanding the several revolutions in his time In Nov. 1644 he was made Prebendary of Yatmister secunda in the Church of Sarum given to him by Dr. Duppa Bishop thereof which also keeping till his

Bright as it seems and at 16 years of age or more became a Student in this Univ. in Lent Term 1613.

Savile the Warden was forthwith chosen and made senior of the Election After he had compleated the degree of M. of Arts he entred into Orders and became much frequented for his edifying Sermons In 1631 he was admitted to the procuratorial Office but before he had served four months of that year he was deprived of it and the reason why is told you elsewhere About that time he became Chaplain to the Earl of Northumberland and on the 11 of Jan. 1633 he was presented by the Warden and Society of Merton Coll. to the Rectory of Lapworth in Warwickshire where continuing till the beginning of the Civil War he left all there purposely to avoid sequestration and imprisonment and forthwith retired to the King at Oxon.

Edmunds Church within that City where continuing about two years at which time the Kings Forces were routed in the West he retired to London and for some time found relief in the house of Sir Nath.

Christophers Church near the Exchange in London became preacher there and was patronized in his studies and calling by Sir Sam. Tryon Kt. an Inhabitant in that parish In 1622 he was made Parson of Ashhover in Derbyshire which he kept several years and was resorted to much by the puritanical party At length when the rebellion broke forth in 1642 he sided with the Presbyterians and being

Ch. an 1636 aged eleven years took the degrees in Arts that of Master being compleated in 1643 about which time he was in arms for his Majesty within the Garrison of Oxon and afterwards was an Ensign In 1648 he was turn'd out of his place by the Parliamentarian Visitors he being then in holy Orders from which year to the Kings Restauration he spent his time in Oxon in a retired and studious condition partly in the Lodgings of his brother-in-law Mr. Tho. Willis in Canterbury Quadrangle pertaining to Ch. Church and afterwards partly in his House situate and being over against Merton Coll. Church wherein he and others kept up the devotions and orders of the Ch. of England administred the Sacrament and other duties to the afflicted Royalists then remaining in Oxon. After the Kings restauration he was installed Canon of Ch. Ch. in the place of Ralph Button ejected on the 27 of July 1660 and Dean of the said Church on the 30 of Nov. following being then one of his Majesties Chaplains in Ordinary and Doctor of Divinity by actual creation By his constant residence in Oxon in the time of Usurpation he could not otherwise but behold with grief to what a miserable condition the whole University and in particular those of his quondam Coll. were reduced to as to Principles in Religion and he knew that things could not be reformed suddenly but by degrees His Predecessor Dr. Morley in that short time that he governed the Coll. restored the Members thereof then living that had been ejected in 1648 and such that remained factious Dr. Fell either removed or fix'd in loyal Principles yet when the Organ and Surplice were restored there were not wanting those that to the great concern and resentment of the Dean Dr. Dolben Dr. Allestree and others us'd both of them with contempt and Indignity As by his unwearied diligence he endeavour'd to improve his College with Learning and true Religion so also to adorn it with Buildings for no sooner he was setled but he took upon him a resolution to finish Wolsey's great Quadrangle The north side of it which was left void and open in Wolsey's time was began to be supplied with Buildings sutable to the rest of the Quadrangle by his father Dr. S. Fell and was by him the College and Benefactors carried on to the top and had all the frame of timber belonging thereunto laid but before the inside could be finished and the top covered with lead the Civil War began In that condition it continued expos'd to weather till the Reformers took place who minding their own concerns and not at all the publick took the timber away and employed it for their private use This imperfect Building I say was by the benefaction of Dr. Joh. Fell the then present Canons and others of the House as also by the benefaction of certain generous persons that had been formerly Members thereof and of others quite finished for the use of two Canons together with that part between the imperfect Building on the north side of the great gate and the N. W. corner of the said Quadrangle The next Fabrick that he undertook was that in the Chaplains Quadrangle and the long range of building joyning thereunto on the East side For whereas Philip King Auditor of Ch. Ch. had built very fair Lodgings of polish'd Free-stone about 1638 in or very near that place whereon the said long range was afterwards erected they were by carelesness burnt on the 19 of Nov. 1669 and with them the south east corner of the said Quadrangle besides part of the Lodgings belonging to the Canon of the second stall which was blown up with Gunâ—powder to prevent the spreading of the fire towards the Library Treasury and Church These Buildings being burnt and blown up were by the care of Dr. Fell rebuilt viz. the east side of the Chaplains Quadrangle with a straight passage under it leading from the Cloister into the Field which was finished in 1672 and the long range before mention'd in 1677 and 78. The third Fabrick which by his care was also erected were the Lodgings belonging to the Canon of the third Stall situate and being in the passage leading from Wolsey's Quadrangle to that of Peckwater which were finishing in 1674. And lastly the stately Tower over the great and principal gate next to Fishstreet began on the old foundation laid by Wolsey in June 1681 and finished in Nov. 1682 mostly with the moneys of Benefactors whose Arms are with great curiosity ingraven in stone on the roof that parts the Gate-house and the Belfry To this Tower was translated from the Campanile of the Church the Bell called Great Tom of Christ Church after it had been several times cast an 1683 and on the great Festival of the 29 of May 1684 it first rang out between 8 and 9 at night from which time to this a Servant toles it every night at 9 as a signal to all Scholars to repair to their respective Colleges and Halls as he did while 't was in the Campanile In 1666. 67. 68. and part of 69 Dr. Fell was invested with the office of Vicechancellour in which being setled his first care was to make all degrees go in Caps and in publick Assemblies to appear in Hoods He also reduced the Caps and Gowns worn by all degrees to their former size or make and ordered all Cap-makers and Taylors to make them so which for several years after were duly observed but now especially as to Gowns an equal strictness is not observed His next care was to look narrowly towards the performance of public exercise in the Schools and to reform several abuses in them and because Coursing in the time of Lent that is the endeavours of one party to run down and confute another in disputations did commonly end in blows and domestick quarrels the refuge of the vanquish'd side he did by his authority annul that custom Snce that time as those publick disturbances which were the scandal of the University did cease so likewise that vehemence and eagerness in disputations which was increas'd by those intestine broils having lost the incentives of malice feuds and contentions did in great measure abate and at length fall However Dr. Fell that he might as much as possibly support the exercises of the University did frequent Examinations for degrees hold the Examiners up to it and if they would or could not do their duty he would do it himself to the pulling down of many He did also sometimes repair to the Ordinaries commonly called Wall Lectures from the paucity of Auditors and was frequently present at those Exercises called Disputations in Austins where he would make the Disputants begin precisely at one and continue disputing till 3 of the clock in the afternoon so that upon his appearance more Auditors were then present than since have usually appeared at those Exercises It was his endeavour before and while he was Vicechancellour as also the
and that of Dr. Humph. Henchmans before The Gentlemans Calling which two books had been published by the said Doctors Dr. Fell also published in the year 1675 two other pieces written by the same author viz. The Government of the Tongue and The Art of Contentment and last of all The lively Oracles given to us c. which was first printed at Oxon 1678. oct In 1684 all the works of the said excellent author were printed together in a pretty large folio and fair character at Oxon and London The whole duty of man The decay of Christian piety and The Gentlemans Calling which altho published by Dr. Henchman some years before The decay of Christian Piety is in this Edit placed after it make the first part which is printed at London and the four pieces above-named make the second part printed at Oxon. Before the whole volume is placed a general preface of Dr. Fells composition wherein among other things he points at no less than five spurious pieces which have expresly or by a designed implication boldly usurp'd on the name and authority of this unknown celebrated author In this edition of his works compleat Dr. Fell hath inserted in the margin of the four last pieces which make the second part of the said vol. if not too of The Gent. Calling and The decay of Christ Piety the heads and contents of each section with useful marginal abbreviations which were till then wanting in all the parts except only in The whole duty of man He caused also at his own proper charge the Hist and Antiq. of the Univ. of Oxon to be translated into latine and kept two men in pay for doing it besides what he did himself which was considerable and the Author which was less And being so done he caused it at his own charge also to be printed with a good character on good paper but he taking to himself liberty of putting in and out several things according to his own judgment and those that he employ'd being not careful enough to carry the whole design in their head as the Author would have done it is desir'd that the Author may not be accountable for any thing which was inserted by him or be censur'd for any useless repetitions or omissions of his Agents under him At length this most godly learned and zealous person having brought his body to an ill habit and having wasted his spirits by too much zeal for the publick he surrendred up his pious soul to God to the great loss of learning and of the whole University about three of the clock in the morning of the tenth of July being then Saturday in sixteen hundred eighty and six leaving then behind him the general character of a learned and pious Divine and of an excellent Greecian Latinist and Philologist of a great assertor of the Church of England of another Founder of his own College and of a Patron of the whole University He was buried on the 13 day of the same month in the Divinity Chap. which is the Isle most northward from the choir of the Cathedral of Ch.

Whether the same with him who was afterwards Bishop of Bristow I know not LEWES JONES was born in Merionithshire became a Student in this University in 15â—2 or thereabouts but in what house I cannot tell In 1569 he being then Bach. of Arts he was elected Fellow of Allsoules Coll. and about that time taking holy Orders went without the taking of any other degree in this University into Ireland where he was made Dean of Casshels and afterwards being nominated to the See of Killaloa in that Country was consecrated thereunto on the 23 of Apr. 1633. In 1641 when the rebellion broke out there and great miseries followed thereupon he retired to Dublin where dying on the second of Nov. in sixteen hundred forty and six aged 104 years was buried in the Church of S. Werburgh commonly called S. Warborough in the said City In the See of Killoloa succeeded Dr. Edw.

Patricks Church of which he was Chauntor near Dublin on the 14 of May 1635. In the beginning of the rebellion he was forced thence and retiring to London lived for some time there in an obscure condition At length he giving way to fate in the month of Octob in sixteen hundred forty and eight was buried in the Church of S. Clement Danes without Temple bar within the liberty of the City of Westminster In his Bishoprick succeeded Robert Price in the latter end of 1660 of whom mention shall be made hereafter LANCELOT BULKLEY the eleventh Son of Sir Rich. Bulk was born at Beaumarish in the Isle of Anglesie entred a Communer of Brasn Coll. in the beginning of 1587 aged 18 years where continuing till he was Bach. of Arts translated himself to S. Edm.

Afterwards he went into Ireland became Archdeacon of Dublin Doctor of Divinity there and at length Archb. of the said City to which being consecrated in the Church of S. Peter at Tredagh on the 3. of Oct. 1619 was soon after made by K. Jam. 1. Privy Counsellour of that Kingdom He lived to be spectator of the miseries that befell that Realm occasion'd by the rebellion that broke out in 1641 at which time securing himself in the City of Dublin escaped the malice of the Rebels and lived in a disconsolate condition several years after At length arriving to 82 years of age departed this mortal life at Taulaughta on the eighth day of Sept. in sixteen hundred and fifty whereupon his body being conveyed to Dublin was buried in S. Patricks Church there In his Archbishoprick succeeded Dr. Jam.

After his death the See lay void till the restauration of K. Ch. 2. and then Dr. George Morley succeeded as I have told you among the said Writers NATHANIEL CONOPIUS a Cretan born trained up in the Greek Church and became Primore to Cyrill Patriarch of Constantinople who for his religious life and conversation had a respect for him When the said Cyrill was strangled by the Visier the Grand Signior of the Turks being not then returned from the Siege of Babylon Conopius to avoid the like barbarity fled thence and went into England and addressing himself with credentials from the English Agent at Constantinople to Dr. Laud Archb. of Cant that worthy person sent him to Balliol Coll and allowed him a comfortable subsistance during his abode there Afterwards he became one of the Chaplains or Petty Canons of Ch. Church but whether he took a degree in this University I know not In the beginning of Nov. 1648 he was expelled the University by the Barbarians I mean the Parliamentarian Visitors and had nothing left to maintain him as a Scholar and Divine So that because of the barbarity of such who called themselves Saints he returned into his own Country among the Barbarians and was made Bishop of Smyrna commonly called Le
his Maj. K. Ch. 2 in his exile was by him sent Ambassador to the Grand Seignior at Constantinople and demanding audience in his name he was by bribes given delivered to some of the English Merchants there who shipping him in the Smyrna Fleet was conveyed into England Soon after he being committed to the Tower of London he was brought before the High Court of Justice where he desired to plead in the Italian Language which he said was more common to him than the English But it being denied him he was at length condemned to die whereupon he lost his head on a Scaffold erected against the Old Exchange in Cornhill on the fourth day of March an 1650. It was then said by the faction in England that he did by vertue of a Commission from Charles Stuart as K. of Great Britaine act in the quality of an Agent to the Court of the Great Turk with intent to destroy the trade of the Turkey Company and the Parliaments interest not only in Constantinople but also in Mitylene Anatolia and Smyrna That also he had a Commission to be Consul in that matter with an aim likewise to seize upon the Merchants goods for the use of Charles King of Scots For the effecting of which design he presumed to discharge Sir Tho. Bendish of his Embassie being Leiger there for the state of England c. The said faction also reported and would needs perswade the People in England that those that abetted Sir H. Hyde at Smyrna had the heavy hand of judgment fell upon them This Sir Hen. Hyde after his decollation was conveyed to Salisbury and buried there in the Cathedral among the graves of his Relations Another Brother younger than him was Edward Hyde D. D sometimes Fellow of Trin. Coll. in Cambridge and afterwards Rector of Brightwell near Wallingford in Berkshire From which being ejected in the time of Usurpation he retired with his Wife and Children to Oxon and hiring an apartment within the precincts of Hart Hall lived there several years studied frequently in Bodlies Library and preached in the Church of Halywell in the suburbs of Oxon to the Royal Party till he was silenc'd by the Faction In 1658 he obtained of his exil'd Majesty by the endeavours of Sir Edw.

Another Brother the tenth in number was Sir Frederick Hyde Knight the Queens Serjeant an 1670 and one of the chief Justices of South Wales who dyed in 1676. Also another called Francis who was Secretary to the Earl of Denbigh Embassador and died at Venice without issue And among others must not be forgotten Dr. Thomas Hyde Fellow of New Coll afterwards Judge of the Admiralty and also the eleventh and youngest Brother of them all named James Hyde Dr. of Physick lately Principal of Magd. Hall HUGH LLOYD was born in the County of Cardigan became a Servitour or poor Scholar of Oriel Coll. an 1607 or thereabouts took the degrees in Arts translated himself to Jesus Coll of which I think he became Fellow and in 1638 he proceeded in Divinity being about that time Archdeacon of S. David and well beneficed in his own Country In the times of Usurpation and Rebellion he suffered much for the Kings cause was ejected and forced to remove from place to place for his own security In consideration of which and his episcopal qualities he was consecrated to the See of Landaffe on the second day of Decemb. being the first Sunday of that month an 1660 by the Archb. of York Bishops of London Rochester Salisbury and Worcester at which time six other Bishops were also consecrated He died in June or July in sixteen hundred sixty and seven and was as I suppose buried at Matherne in Monmouthshire where the House or Pallace pertaining to the Bishop of Landaff is situated In the said See succeeded Dr. Francis Davies as I shall tell you elsewhere JEREMY TAYLOR originally of the University of Cambridge afterwards Fellow of Allsouls Coll. in this University was consecrated Bishop of Downe and Conner in Ireland an 166â— and died in Aug. in sixteen hundred sixty and seven under which year you may see more of him among the Writers p. 282. GEORGE HALL sometimes Fellow of Exeter Coll became Bishop of Chester in the room of Dr. Henry Ferne deceased an 1662 and dying in sixteen hundred sixty and eight under which year you may see more of him among the Writers p. 297 was succeeded in that See by Dr. Joh. Wilkins of whom I have largely spoken elsewhere already HENRY KING sometimes Canon of Ch Church afterwards Dean of Rochester was consecrated Bishop of Chichester an 1641. and died in the beginning of Octob. in sixteen hundred sixty and nine under which year you may see more of him among the Writers p. 308. In the said See of Chichester succeeded Dr. Pet. Gunning as I have elsewhere told you HENRY GLEMHAM a younger Son of Sir Henry Glemham of Glemham in Suffolk Knight by Anne his Wife eldest daughter of Sir Tho. Sackvile Knight Earl of Dorset was born in the County of Surrey became a Commoner of Trin. Coll in 1619 aged 16 years being then put under the tuition of Mr. Robert Skinner Afterwards he took the degrees in Arts holy Orders and became well beneficed before the rebellion broke out at which time suffering more for his loyalty than merits was upon his Majesties restauration made Dean of Bristow in the place of Dr. Matthew Nicholas promoted to the Deanery of S. Pauls Cath. in London where continuing till 1666 he was by the endeavours of Barbara Dutchess of Cleavland made Bishop of S. Asaph in the latter end of that year in the place of Dr. George Griffith deceased He gave way to fate at Glemham Hall in Suffolk on the seventeenth day of January in sixteen hundred sixty and nine and was buried in the Vault that belongs to the Family of Glemham in the Parish Church of Little Glemham in the said County To the said See of S. Asaph was translated Dr. Is Barrow Bishop of the Isle of
Man on the 21. of March 1669 to the great rejoycing of the true Sons of the Church in the Diocese thereof After he was setled he repaired several parts of the Cathedral Church especially the North and South Isles and new covered them with lead and caused the East part of the choir to be wainscoted He laid out a considerable sum of money in building and repairs about his Pallace at S. Asaph and the mill thereunto belonging In the year 1678 he built an Almes house for eight poor Widows and did endow it with twelve pounds per an for ever The same year he procured an Act of Parliament for the appropriating of the Rectories of Llaurhaiader and Mochnant in Denbighshire and Mountgomeryshire and of Skeiviog in the County of Flint for repairs of the Cathedral Church of S. Asaph and the better maintenance of the choire there and also for the uniting several Rectories that were Sinecures and the Vicaridges of the same Parishes within his said Diocese of S. Asaph He also intended to build a Free-school and to endow it but was prevented by death Yet since that time his successor Dr. Will Lloyd Bishop of S. Asaph did recover from Bishop Barrow's Executors 200 l. towards a Free-school at S. Asaph an 1687. This most worthy Bishop Dr. Barrow died at Shrewsbury about noon of the 24 of June Midsomer day an 1680 and on the 30 of the said month his Corps was lodged in his house called Argoed hall in Flintshire and from thence carried on the first of July to his Palace at S. Asaph and the same day to the Cathedral Church there where after Divine Service and a Sermon the said Corps was decently inter'd by Dr. Nich. Stratford Dean of S. Asaph on the South side of the West door in the Cathedral Church yard which was the place he appointed Over his grave was soon after laid a large flat stone and another over that supported by Pedestals On the last of which is this inscription engraven Exuviae Isaaci Asaphensis Episcopi in manum Domini depositae in spem laetae resurrectionis per sola Christi merita Obiit dictus reverendus Pater festo Divi Johannis Baptistae anno Domini 1680 Aetatis 67 Translationis suae undecimo On the lower stone which is even with the ground is this inscription following engraven on a brass plate fastned thereunto which was made by the Bishop himself Exuviae Isaaci Asaphensis Episcopi in manum Domini depositae in spem laetae resurrectionis per sola Christi merita O vos transeuntes in Domum Domini Domum orationis orate pro Conservo vestro ut inveniat miserecordiam in die Domini The said brass plate was fastned at first as 't is there reported over the said West door but afterwards taken down and fastned to the lower stone next the body But so it was that as soon as this last Epitaph was put up the contents thereof flew about the nation by the endeavours of the godly faction then plump'd up with hopes to carry on their diabolical designes upon account of the Popish Plot then in examination and prosecution to make the world believe that the said Bishop died a Papist and that the rest of the Bishops were Papists also or at least popishly affected and especially for this reason that they adhered to his Majesty and took part with him at that time against the said Faction who endeavoured to bring the Nation into confusion by their usual trade of lying and slandering which they have always hitherto done to carry on their ends such is the religion of the Saints But so it is let them say what they will that the said Bishop was a virtuous generous and godly man and a true Son of the Church of England And it is to be wished that those peering poor spirited and sneaking wretches would endeavour to follow his example and not to lye upon the catch under the notion of religion to obtain their temporal ends private endearments comfortable importances filthy lusts c. The said Bishop was Uncle to a most worthy religious and learned Doctor of both his names as I have elsewhere told you who dying 4. May 1677 aged 47 years was buried in the great or south cross Isle of Westm Abbey near to the monument of the learned Camden sometimes Clarenceaux K. of Armes WILLIAM PIERS son of William Piers a Haberdasher of Hats Nephew or near of kin to Dr. John Piers sometimes Archb. of York and a Native of South Hinxsey near Abendon in Berks was born in the Parish of Allsaints within the City of Oxon in Aug and baptized there on the 3. of Sept. an 1580. In 1596 he was made Student of Ch. Church and taking the degrees in Arts fell to the study of Divinity and was for a time a Preacher in and near Oxon. Afterwards being made Chaplain to Dr. King Bishop of London he was prefer'd to the Rectory of S. Christophers Church near to the Old Exchange in London and Vicaridge of Northall in Middles In 1614 he proceeded in Divinity being about that time Divinity Reader in S. Pauls Cathedral and in 1618 he was made Canon of Ch. Church and soon after Dean of Chester In 1621. 22. 23. he did undergo the office of Vicechancellour of this University wherein behaving himself very forward and too officious against such that were then called Anti-Arminians he gained the good will of Dr. Laud then a rising star in the Court and so consequently preferment In 1622 he was made Dean of Peterborough in the place of Hen. Beaumont promoted to that of Windsore and in 1630 had the Bishoprick thereof confer'd on him by the death of Dr. Tho. Dove to which being elected he had the temporalities thereof given to him on the 30 of Oct and installation on the 14 of Nov. the same year While he sate there which was but for a short time he was esteemed a man of parts knowing in Divinity and the Laws was very vigilant and active for the good both for the ecclesiastical and civil estate In Oct. 1632 he was elected Bishop of Bath and Wells upon the translation of Dr. Curle to Winchester the temporalities of which See being given to him on the 20 of December the same year he continued there without any other translation to the time of his death As for his actions done in his Diocese of Bath and Wells before the grand rebellion broke out which were very offensive to the puritanical party who often attested that he brought innovations therein and into his Church suppressed Preaching Lectures and persecuted such who refused to rail in the Lords Table c. in his Diocese let one of them named William Prynne a great enemy to the Hierarchy speak yet the reader may be pleased to suspend his judgment and not to believe all what that partial cropear'd and stigmatized person saith When the Bishops were silenc'd and their Lands sold by that

Hall of which he was Scholar and afterwards in Peter House of which he was Fellow where as in the former House his admirable faculty in Latin and English Poetry was well known Afterwards he was Master of Arts in which degree 't is probable he was incorporated But being soon after thrown out of his Fellowship as many others of the said University of Cambridge were for denying the Covenant in the time of the rebellion he was for a time put to his shifts At length upon an infallible foresight that the Church of England would be quite ruined by the unlimited fury of the Presbyterians he changed his religion and went beyond the Seas and took up his abode for a time in the great City of Paris But being a meer Scholar and very shiftless Mr. Abr. Cowley the Poet did upon intimation of his being there find him out in a sorry condition an 1646 or thereabouts Whereupon exhibiting to him as much as laid in his power for the present did afterwards obtain for him Letters of commendation from Henrietta Maria Queen of England then in those parts and some relief Afterwards he journied into Italy and by virtue of those Letters he became Secretary to a Cardinal in Rome and at length one of the Canons or Chaplains of the rich Church of our Lady at Loretto some miles distant thence where he died and was buried about 1650. Before he left England he wrot certain Poems which were intit Steps to the Temple because in the Temple of God under his wing he led his life in S. Maries Church near to Peter House before mention'd There as 't is said he lodged under Tertullians roof of Angels There he made his nest more gladly than Davids swallow near the House of God where like a primitive Saint he offer'd more prayers in the night than others usually offer in the day There he pen'd the said Poems called Steps to the Temple for happy Souls to climb Heaven by To the said Steps are joyned other Poems intit The delights of the Muses wherein are several Latin Poems which tho of a more humane mixture yet they are sweet as they are innocent He hath also written Carmen Deo nostro being Hymns and other sacred Poems addressed to the Countess of Denbigh He was excellent in five Languages besides the Mother Tongue viz. in Hebrew Greek Latin Italian and Spanish the two last whereof tho he had little use yet he had the knowledg of them c.
