Vermilius became a Canon regular of the Order of S. Austin at 16 years of age in the Coll. at Fiesoli more than a mile distant from Florence After he had spent three years there he was sent to Padua to enlarge his Learning that University then being in a flourishing Condition and setling in the Monastery of St. John de Verdera of the same Order of S. Austin spent almost 8 years in philosophical Studies and all other Arts especially in the Greek Tongue and Poets which at length he conquered At 26 years of age he began to preach and the first time he performed that Office was in the Church of St. Afra in Brescia and afterwards frequently in the most famous Cities of Italy However all the time that he could obtain from his Function was spent in sacred Learning Philosophy and in obtaining the Hebrew Tongue At length being cried up for a celebrated Scholar he was made Abbat of Spoleto in the Duchy of L'Ombria in Italy where he continued three years Thence he was translated to Naples and there became Abbat of the Monastery of his Order called St. Peter ad aram being of greater profit and a far more pleasant place than Spoleto After he had been setled there for some time he began to see the verity of the Gospel especially after he had read some of the Works of Bucer and Zwinglius Three years being spent there also he fell into a dangerous Sickness but the strength of Nature overcoming it he was advised by his Physitians to take better Air than what Naples afforded To that end therefore that he might with convenience be absent from his Cure the Fathers chose him General Visitor of their Order that is of the Order of S. Austin and soon after was elected Prior of S. Fridian within the City of Luca which is a place of great dignity having Episcopal Jurisdiction in the middle part of the said City Being setled at that place he instituted a most admirable way of Studies for the younger sort at Luca but at length his Opinions as to Heresie then so called being discovered snares were laid for him so that being not in a capacity to speak his mind he by the advice of certain Friends committed the best part of his Library to the Custody of one of them gave another part to the Coll. and forthwith left Luca and went to Pisa whence he wrote Letters to Card.

With other things as 't is probable which I have not yet seen After the death of Qu. Mary he return'd with K. Philip into Spain and thence went according to command to the great Council or Synod held in the City of Trent called commonly among Forreigners Trento sometimes a part of Italy but since of Germany where by too much agitation and concernment he contracted a disease which brought him to his grave in that City in the Month of Apr. in Fifteen hundred sixty and three About three days before his death year 1563 and some time before the Synod began to be troubled among themselves for a small cause and did give much matter of discourse Which coming to the knowledge of Sotho he thereupon did dictate and subscribe a Letter to be sent to the Pope in which by way of confession he declared his opinion concerning the points controverted in Council and did particularly exhort his Holiness to consent that residence and the institution of Bishops might be declared to be de jure divino The Letter was sent to the Pope and Frier Ludov.

book written by the hand of Blackwell and subscribed by him as fit for the Press So that no other name being put to it hath caused our Librarians to insert him in the Catalogue of MSS. as the author of it whereas he was not but rather Franc. Tresham as I have told you elsewhere He the said Blackwell died suddenly having been much troubled with swooning fits on the 12. of Januar. in sixteen hundred and twelve and was buried as I conceive in some Church in London This next person according to time and order that must crave place is one who tho no writer worth the remembrance yet hath he been the greatest promoter of learning that hath yet appeared in our Nation THOMAS BODLEY another Ptolomey eldest Son of John Bodley of the City of Exeter by Joan his Wife Daughter and Heir of Rob. Hone of Otterie S. Mary in Devon Esq Son of Joh. Bodley of Tiverton second Son of John Bodley of Dunscumbe near Crediton in Devon Gent. was born in the said City of Exeter 2 Mar. 1544. partly educated in Grammar learning in the said City but mostly in Geneva while his Father lived there as a voluntary Exile in the time of Q. Mary where tho he was then very young yet he was an auditor of Chevalerius in Hebrew of Berealdus in Greek of Calvin and Beza in Divinity and of some other professors in the University there then newly erected besides his domestical teachers in the house of Philebertus Saracenus a famous Physician in that City with whom he was boarded where Rob. Constantinus that made the Greek Lexicon read Homer to him After the death of Q. Mary he returned into England with his Father and was sent to Magd. coll in 1559. where making great proficiency in Logick and Philosophy under Mr. Laur. Humphrey was admitted Bach. of Arts in Jul. 1563. and soon after being elected Probationer of Merton coll determined in the Lent following In 1565. he by the perswasion of some of the Fellows of that house and for his private exercise did read publickly for some years a Greek Lecture in the hall of that coll without expectation of any reward or stipend for his labour Nevertheless it pleased the Society to allow him soon after of their own accord four Marks by the year In 1566. he was admitted Master of Arts which degree being compleated he read Nat. Philosophy for an year in the Pub. Schools then situated on the East side of Schoolstreet In 1569. he was elected Junior Proctor of the University which office he performing with great commendations bestowed some time in the study of sundry Faculties without any inclination to profess any one above the rest At length being desirous to travel beyond the Seas for the obtaining of knowledge of some special modern tongues and for the increase of his experience in the managing of affairs to no other end but to imploy himself and all his cares in the publick Service of the State did with leave from the Warden and Society of his coll depart England with the allowance belonging to a traveller an 1576. and continued near 4 years in Italy France and Germany Afterwards returning to his coll he remained there for some time in studying politicks and historical affairs and in 1583. he was made Esquire of the Body to Q. Elizabeth At length in 1585. having about that time married Anne the Daughter of… Carew of the City of Bristow the rich Widdow as I have heard of one Ball was imployed by the Queen to Frederick K. of Denmark Julius Duke of Brunswyke William Lantgrave of Hesse and other German Princes Which imploymnet being faithfully performed he was sent to K. Hen. 3. of France at what time he was forced by the Duke of Guise to leave Paris In 1588. he was sent to the Hague for the better conduct of the Queen's affairs in the Vnited Provinces where making his residence for some years was admitted one of their Council of State took place in their Assemblies next to Count Maurice and gave a suffrage in all that was proposed In 1593. he returned into England for a time to look after his private Estate but was soon after remanded to the Hague again by the Q. where continuing near one year returned again to deliver some secret overtures to her and to perform thereupon an extraordinary service Soon after the applauding the fruit of his discoveries he was presently commanded to return to the States with charge to pursue those affairs to performance which he had secretly proposed At length all things being concluded and brought to the desired issue he procured his last revocation in 1597. At his return as before in his absence Burleigh the Lord Treasurer did several times tell the Queen that there was not any Man in England so meet as Bodley to undergo the office of Secretary by reason of his well-tryed Wisdom in the Low-Country affairs intending that he should be Colleague with his Son Rob. Cecill But the Earl of Essex commending him also to the Queen in a higher manner not without biting calumniations of Cecill Burleigh found means to divert the Queens mind from him supposing that Essex endeavoured to gain him to his party against Burleigh and Cecill So that Mr. Bodley being eased of ever expecting that troublesome office he retired from the Court and wholly commended himself to the care and provision for learning worthy indeed the care of the greatest King For about that time setting up his staff at the Library door in Oxford did restore or rather new found it the particulars of which I have elsewhere told you After K. Jam. came to the Crown he received the Honour of Knight from him and a few years before his death wrote His Life an 1609. Which being kept as a choice rarity in the archives of his Library was published at Oxon. 1647. qu. But this little thing is not the reason that I put him among the Oxford Writers but because by his noble and generous endeavours he hath been the occasion of making hundreds of publick Writers and of advancing in an high degree the Commonwealth of learning in which respect he should have craved the first place but I have put him here according to the time of his death which is the method I observe Letters of State Some of which I have seen published not in one vol. but scatteredly Letters relating to Books and Learning Written to Mr. Tho.

July 6. he was elected Fellow of Lincoln coll and two years after proceeded in his faculty About that time entring into the sacred function he became one of the most noted preachers in the University In 1598 he was admitted Bach. of Divinity and the year after resigning his fellowship was made about that time Rector of the Church of S. Andrews Hubart in Little Eastcheap in London where after some time he became so great a labourer in Gods vineyard by his frequent and constant work in the ministry as well in resolving of doubts and cases of conscience as in preaching and lecturing that he went beyond his brethren in that City to the wonder of all But greater was the wonder especially to those of his parish and neighbourhood that this poor man who was for the most part strangely afflicted with sickness should undergo his duty so strictly and preach so many Sermons as he did for comfort and support in troubles This indeed did sound highly to his merit and plainly shewed that his great learning and parts could not be subdued with the pitiful afflictions here below He was accounted a judicious orthodox and holy man and by some a zealous and innocent puritan of a harmless life and conversation and one that was solely fram'd to do good acts His works are these Several Sermons as 1 The necessity of righteousness on Mat. 5. 20.

Andrew before mentioned By his last will and testament he bequeathed a tenement to Linc. coll called Ship hall situated on the west side of that Street antiently called Schediardstreet now commonly called S.

The picture of this Mr. Randall drawn to the life when he was fellow of Linc. coll is or at least was lately hanging in the Common room of that house JOHN OWEN or Audoenus as some call him the most noted Epigrammatist in the age he lived was born at Armon in Caernarvonshire educated in Wykehams School admitted perpetual Fellow of New coll after he had served two years of Probation there in 1584. took the degree of Bach. of Civil Law in 1590. and leaving his fellowship the year after taught School as some of his antient country men that remember him have told me at Trylegh near to Monmouth and at Warwick as the tradition goes there among the Schoolmasters in the School founded by K. Hen. 8. in the place of one Tho. Hall about the year 1594. He was a person endowed with several gifts especially with with the faculty of Poetry which hath made him famous for those books of Epigrams that he hath published wherein an ingenious liberty of joking being by him used was and is now with some especially forreigners

WILLIAM PEMBLE the Son of a minister of Gods word was born in Kent at Egerton as I have been informed sent to Magd. coll in the beginning of the year 1610. aged 18 where continuing a severe student under the tuition of R. Capell till after he had compleated the degree of Bach. by determination which was in Lent 1613. he retired to Magd. hall adjoyning became a noted reader and a tutor there took the degree of M. of A. entred into sacred Orders made Div. reader of that house became a famous preacher a well studied Artist a skilful Linguist a good Orator an expert Mathematician and an ornament to the Society among whom he lived All which accomplishments were knit together in a body of about 32 years of age which had it lived to the age of man might have proved a prodigy of learning Adrian Heereboord sometimes professour of Philosophy in the University of Leyden is very profuse in his commendations of this our author and his works and good reason he hath for so doing for in his book entit Maletemata Philosophica wherein he takes upon him to confute the commonly entertained and old Aristotelian opinion asserting the substantiality of the vegetative and sensitive Souls to be different and distinct from that of matter he hath taken a great quantity from them especially in his four disputations De formis which are mostly composed from our athour Pemble's book De formarum origine The works of the said W. Pemble are these Vindiciae gratiae A plea for grace more especially the grace of faith Ox. 1629. qu. sec. edit Vindiciae fidei A treatise of justification by faith Ox. 1625. qu. published by Joh. Geree sometimes M. A. of Madg. hall Our authors mind did run so much upon this subject that he said when he was upon his death bed that he would dye in it viz. in his perswasion of justification by
Arts and all that he knew he own'd to him Thence his silly Mother who had married to her second Husband a Bricklayer took him home and made him as 't is said work at her Husbands trade At length being pitied by some generous Gentlemen Camden got him a better imployment which was to attend or accompany a Son of Sir Walt. Raliegh in his adventures whereby gaining experience made his company acceptable among many After their return they parted I think not in cold blood and thereupon Ben went to Cambridge and was as 't is said statutably elected into St. Johns coll but what continuance he made there I find not Sure 't is that his Genie being mostly Poetical he did afterwards receed to a Nursery or obscure Play-house called The Green Curtain about Shoreditch or Clerkenwell but his first action and writing there were both ill At length improving his fancy much by keeping Scholastical company he betook himself again to write plays which he did so admirably well that he was esteemed paramount in the dramatick part of Poetry and to teach the stage an exact conformity to the Laws of Comedians Whereupon Sir Jo. Suckling bringing him into the Session of Poets Ben broke silence spoke to the Poets and Bid them remember how he had purg'd the Stage Of Errours that had lasted many an age His own proper industry and addition to books especially to ancient Poets and Classical authors made him a person of curious learning and judgment and of singular excellence in the art of Poetry Which with his accurate judgment and performance known only to those few who are truly able to judge of his works have gain'd from the most eminent Scholars of his time particularly from the learned Selden an increasing admiration Dr. Rich. Corbet of Ch. Ch. and other Poets of this University did in reverence to his parts invite him to Oxon where continuing for some time in Ch. Ch. in writing and composing Plays he was as a Member thereof actually created M. of A. in 1619. and therefore upon that account I put him among the Oxford writers for at Cambridge his stay was but short and whether he took a degree in that University I cannot yet learn of any His works are these Every Man in his humour a Comedy Acted 1598.

Mary albeit she was most affectionately devoted to the Ch. of Rome interposed or rather opposed her self so that Peto was forbidden to enter into England and the power Legantine left entire and whole to her Cousin Pole Whereupon Peto continued in France where he died in Apr. year 1558 in fifteen hundred fifty and eight leaving then behind him the character of a very godly and devout person yet simple and unknowing of matters of State or of the world which ought in some measure to accompany a person of his high degree See more of him in Historia minor provinciae Angliae Fratrum minorum in the first tome of the Scholastical and Historical works of Franc.
