Herbert of Colebroke in Monmouthshire Knight was born in Yorkshire particularly as I conceive within the City of York admitted Commoner of Jesus Coll. in 1621. under the tuition of Mr. Jenkyn Lloyd his kinsman but before he took a degree his Uncle called Dr. Ambr. Aikroyd fellow of Trin. Coll. in Cambr. brother to his mother Jane dau of Jo. Aikroyd of Folkerthorpe in Yorkshire invited him to that house where his continuance being short he went thence to London to wait upon that most noble Count William Earl of Pembroke who owning him for his kinsman and intending his advancement he sent him to travel in 1626 with allowance to defray his charges So that spending some years in travelling into Africa and Asia the great he did at his return wait on the said noble Count who inviting him to dinner the next day at Baynards Castle in London died suddenly that night whereby his expectation of preferment from him being frustrated he left England a second time and visited several parts of Europe After his return he married and setling in his native Country delighted himself more with the converse of the Muses than in the rude and brutish pleasures which most Gentlemen follow In the time of the rebellion he adhered to the cause of the Parliament and by the endeavours of Philip Earl of Pembroke he became not only of the Commissioners of Parliament to reside in the Army of Sir Thomas Fairfax but also a Commiss to treat with those on the Kings side for the surrender of Oxford Garrison Afterwards he attended the said Count especially at that time in Jan. 1646 when he with other Commissioners were sent from the Parliament to the King at Newcastle to treat about peace and bring him nearer to London When his Majesty came thence and was setled at Holdenby in Northamptonshire jealousies increased which begat fears against which there was then no fence The Commissioners persuant to instructions addressed themselves altogether on a certain time unto the King and acquainted him therewith and humbly prayed his Majesty to dismiss such of his servants as were there and had waited upon him at Oxon. This their application was in no wise pleasing to the King he having had long experience of the loyalty and good affection of those his servants as it appeared by his countenance and the pause he made ere he gave the Commissioners any answer Howbeit after some expostulation and deliberation he condescended to what they proposed they not opposing the continuance of Mr. Jam. Maxwell and Mr. Patr. Maule their attendance upon his royal person as Grooms of his Majesties Bedchamber in which place they had several years served the King Next day his Majesties servants came as at other times into the presence Chamber where all dinner time they waited but after his Majesty rose from dinner he acquainted them with what had passed 'twixt him and the Commissioners and thereupon they all knelt and kissed his Majesties hand and with great expressions of grief for their dismiss they poured fourth their prayers for his Majesties freedom and preservation and so left Holdenby All that afternoon the King withdrew himself into his Bedchamber having given order that none should interrupt him in his privacy Soon after this his Majesty purposing to send a message to the Parliament he after dinner called Philip Earl of Pembroke to him and told him that he would have Mr. Herbert come into his Chamber which the Earl acquainting the Commissioners with Mr. Tho. Herbert our author was brought into the Bedchamber by Mr. Maxwell and upon his knees desired to know the Kings pleasure He told him he would send a message to the Parliament and having none there that he usually employed and unwilling it should go under his own hand called him in for that purpose Mr. Herbert having writ as his Majesty dictated was enjoyn'd secrecy and not to communicate it to any until made publick by both Houses if by them held meet which he carefully observed This errand was as I conceive His Majesties message for Peace dated from Holdenby 12. May 1647. About a week after the King was pleased to tell the Commissioners that seeing that Mr. Jam. Levingston Hen. Moray John Ashburnham and Will. Legge were for the present dismist he had taken notice of Mr. Jam. Harrington and Mr. Tho. Herbert who had

favour he had free access Nor was he less careful to obtain the like access for him to the Records in the Tower of London by his interest with old Mr. Collet the chief Clerk at that time there under Sir John Burroughs whom he amply rewarded with sundry kind gratuities for his friendliness in assisting Mr. Dugdale with what he thought proper for his purpose from those rarities there reposed He also about that time was introduced by the said Mr. Roper into the acquaintance of Sir Tho. Cotton Baronet whereby he had free access to that incomparable Library in his house near Westminster Hall began and set up by his father that noted Antiquary Sir Rob. Cotton Baronet where finding rare MSS. and original Charters in that incomparable Treasury made such Collections thence as were of singular use in several Volumes which have since been made publick by the press He was likewise introduced by the said Mr. Roper into the acquaintance of Mr. Scipio Squire then one of the Vicechamberlains of the Exchequer thro whose kindness and favour he had access to that venerable Record called Domesday-book as also to the Fines Plea-Rolls and sundry other Records remaining in the Treasury there Nor was Sir Christ Hatton backward in giving him all possible encouragement in those his studies For having seconded Sir H. Spelman in recommending him to the Earl of Arundel that Earl sent for him in Septemb. following an 1638 and obtained the Kings Warrant to create him a Pursevant at Arms extraordinary by the title of Blanch Lyon and thereupon so created him at the Kings royal Pallace of Richmond in Surrey upon the 24 of that instant Sept. Also upon the removal of Mr. Edw. Walker then Pursevant called Rogue-Croix to the Office of Chester Herald his Lordship obtained his Majesties Letters Pat. for creating him Rogue-Croix Pursevant in ordinary bearing date 18 of Mar. 1639. By which means having a Lodging in the Heralds Office and some benefit by funerals and other ways with the yearly Salary of 20 l. out of the Kings Exchequer for his support he thenceforth spent the greatest part of his time in London in order to the augmenting his Collections out of the Records in the Tower and other places in and near the said City till by the influence of a very forward and predominant Party in the most unhappy Parliam that began at Westm 3 Nov. 1640 which aiming at the subversion of Religion established which came afterwards to pass and unjustifiable extirpation of monarchick Government whereby nothing less could be expected than the profaning of all places of Gods publick Worship destruction of monuments in Churches and defacing whatsoever was beautiful and ornamental therein the said Mr. Dugd. therefore receiving encouragement from Sir Chr. Hatton before mention'd then a member of the H. of C. for Higham-Ferres in Northamptonsh who timely foresaw the near approaching storm did in the summer time 1641 taking with him one Will. Sedgwick a skilful Arms-painter repair first to the Cathedral of S. Paul within the City of London and next to the Abbey Church of Westminster and there made exact draughts of all the monuments in each of them copied the Epitaphs according to the very letter as also of all Arms in the Windows or cut in stone All which being done with great exactness Mr. Dugdale rode to Peterborough in Northamptonshire Ely Norwich Lincoln Newark upon Trent Beverley Southwell Kingston upon Hull York Selby Chester Lichfield Tanworth Warwick and did the like in all those cathedral collegiate conventual and divers other parochial Churches wherein any tombs and monuments were to be found to the end that the memory of them in case if that ruin then eminent might come to pass might be preserved for future and better times As it was feared so it soon after fell out all things thro the influence of the predominant party in that Parliament looking every day more and more that way insomuch as in the middle of January following the King himself his Queen and royal issue forc'd by tumults were constrained to betake themselves for safety to other places viz. the King Prince and Duke of York unto the City of York and the Queen to her own relations in France His Majesty being therefore necessitated at that time to continue in those northern parts where many of the Nobility attended him he did by his Warrant under his royal Signet manual bearing date 1 June 1642 command the said Mr. Dugdale forthwith to repair thither to him according to the duty of his place Upon the reception of which he obeyed and continued at York till about the middle of July at which time he received his Majesties farther command to attend Spencer Earl of Northampton then L. Lieutenant of the County of Warwick who was endeavouring to secure the chief places of that County and near it and to disperse the Forces under the Lord Brook which he had gathered together for the Parliament by the Trained-Band Soldiers and other loyal persons under him But they having secur'd the Castles of Banbury and Warwick Mr. Dugdale did by command from his Maj. who was advised at York of their proceedings in his Coat of Arms with a Trumpet sounding before him repair to those Castles and required them to disband and to deliver up their Arms requiring also the said L. Brook and his Adherents to disband c. Accordingly the Castle of Banbury with all the Arms and Ammunition therein were delivered up but the Castle of Warwick being a place of more strength and defended by a greater number of Soldiers under the command of Sir Edw. Peto of Chesterton in that County Knight they did contemn the said Summons c. Afterwards when the King marched southward from York and had taken up his quarters for some time at Stonley house about 4 miles distant from Coventry on the 19 of Aug. 1642 Mr. Dugdale did by his Majesties special Warrant dated the next day summon the said City of Coventry a little before taken in for the use of the Parliament with his Coat bearing the Kings Arms thereon and a Trumpet sounding before him to the end that the Defenders deliver up their Arms to his Majesty and depart peaceably to their respective homes c. but they obstinately denying his Summons he proclaimed them Traytors and forthwith returned Afterwards he attended the King at Kineton commonly called Edghill in Warwickshire where the grand battel between him and his Army and that belonging to the Parliament was fought on the 23 of Oct. 1642. Which battel being finished and the royal party victorious he attended his Maj. to Oxon and thence to Reading and Brainford his Maj. intending for London but finding the power of the Rebels much recruited by the Inhabitants of that populous City he did after some skirmishes had at Brainford where the royal party took many Prisoners return to Oxford fix his chief residence there and fortified that City with Bulwarks for the better

Coll that Doctor having been sometimes Fellow thereof and at that time a Proceeder in Div. and giving great content by his song of several parts which was his exercise performed in the Commencement that year by several voices he gained the reputation there of a most admirable Musitian and had the greater part of his fees and entertainment defray'd by that noble and generous Doctor After his Majesties restauration the Lord Mayor Aldermen and chief Citizens of London being unanimously dispos'd to entertain the King the two Dukes and both Houses of Parliament with a sumptuous Feast it was ordered among them that there should be added to it the best Musick they could obtain And B. Rogers being then esteemed the prime Composer of the Nation he was desir'd of them to compose a song of several parts to be performed while the King and company were at dinner Whereupon in order to it Dr. Ingelo made Hymnus Eucharisticus the beginning of the prelude to which is Exultate Justi in Domino c. This also he translated into English and both were printed in single papers These things being done B. Rogers composed a song of four parts to that Hymne which was more than once tried in private At length on the 12. of July Thursday 1660 being the day that his Majesty James Duke of York Henry Duke of Glocester and both Houses of Parliament were at Dinner in the Guild-hall of the City of London the said printed papers in Latin and English being delivered to the King the two Dukes and dispersed among the Nobility c. purposely that they might look on them while the performance was in doing the song was began and carried on in Latin by twelve Voices twelve Instruments and an Organ mostly performed by his Majesties Servants Which being admirably well done it gave very great content and Mr. Rogers the author being present he obtained a great name for his composition and a plentiful reward Much about that time he became Organist of Eaton Coll where continuing till Theodore Colby a German was prefer'd to be Organist of Exeter Cathedral Dr. Thomas Pierce who had a great value for the man he himself being a Musitian invited him to Magd. Coll. and gave him the Organists place there and there he continued in good esteem till 1685 and then being ejected the reason why let others tell you the Society of that house allow'd him an yearly pension to keep him from the contempt of the world In which condition he now lives in his old age in a skirt of the City of Oxon unregarded He hath extant certain compositions in a book entit Cantica Sacra Containing Hymns and Anthems for two voices to the Organ both Latin and English Lond. 1674. fol.

Nov. 1. he was actually created Master of Arts being then in holy Orders and a sufferer in those times if I mistake not for the royal cause After his Majesties restauration in 1660 he was actually created D. of D. by vertue of the Kings Letters for that purpose was about that time made a Dignitary and in 1671 Dean of Lichfield in the place of Dr. Tho.

Albans Hall but before he had spent two years there which was under Mr. Tho. Jones he left that antient house Oxford being then garrison'd for his Majesty and the Scholars in arms for him and forthwith retired to France where at Caen in Normandy he took the degree of Master of Arts in the Sylvanian Coll. 8. of July 1644. About which time he studied Divinity carried it on for at least two years at Samaur under the famous Divine and Writer Moses Amyraldus Divinity Reader in that University Afterwards he retired to his own Country continued there for a time among his Relations but at length being expuls'd thence with Monsieur Le Conteur and Dan. Brevint both born in Jersey our author Durell who was the first that left that place took his journey to Paris and there received Episcopal Ordination in the Chappel of the honorable and truly noble Sir Rich. Browne Knight his Majesties then Resident in France from the hands of Thomas Bish of Galloway after the Kings restauration of Orkney about 1651. So that being a native of Jersey ordained in France and by a Scotch Bishop doth make a certain Writer doubt whether he was Ecclesiae Anglicanae Presbyter as our author stiles himself in his books Soon after he resided at S. Maloes and acquainting his friends with the condition he was then in he was thereupon kindly invited by the reformed Church at Caen by an express on purpose to come there and become one of their Ministers in the absence of Monsieur Sam. Bochart the famous Orientalian Philologist and Critick author of Geographia sacra c. and of that Latin Letter to Dr. George Morley at the end of that book who was then going into Sweden Not long after the Landtgrave of Hessen having written to the Ministers of Paris to send to him a Minister to preach in French at his Highness's Court he was by them recommended to that Prince from whom likewise he received a very kind invitation by Letters which he kept by him to the time of his death But the providence of God not permitting him to go to either of those places he became at length Chaplain to the Duke de la Force Father to the Princess of Turein Monsieur Le Couteur being invited likewise at the same time to the reform'd Church of Caen and Brevint to another Church in Normandy where he was prefer'd to be Chaplain to the Prince of Turein Before I go any farther I must tell you that about 1642 the Duke of Soubize living near to the Court at Whitehall and finding it troublesome and sometime impossible by reason of his infirmities to go to the VValloons Church in the City of London had commonly a French sermon preached before him in his own house every Sunday This being found very commodious to the French living near thereunto it was thought convenient upon the death of the said Duke to set up a French Church about the Strand And it being in a manner setled that in the City did so highly resent it that ever after the members thereof did endeavour by all means possible to pull it down Upon the Kings restauration the French Church in the City addressed his Majesty to have the French Congregation at VVestminster broken and forbidden to assemble because it was not established by lawful authority That at VVestminster did present an humble suit to his Majesty that he would be pleased to continue it His Maj. upon consideration of the matter granted both their requests by breaking the Congregation at VVestm and by setting up a new Church under the immediate jurisdiction of the Bishop of London wherein divine Service

there also and went on purpose out of curiosity to see and observe the passages at the Camp at Berwick at the fight at Newborne upon Tyne with the Scots at the Treaty at Rippon and at the great Council at York an 1640. Soon after when that Parliament called the Long Parliament began which was on the 3. of Nov. the same year he was chosen an Assistant to Hen. Elsing Clark of the Commons House by which means he was privy afterwards to all circumstances in their proceedings And both Houses having confidence in they sent their addresses by him to the King then at York being forced thither by their violent proceedings And it so fell out that he rode several times with that expedition between London and that City which is 150 miles that he performed the journey in 24 hours In 1643 he took the Covenant and was a great man among the Presbyterians and being near of kin to Sir Thomas Fairfax for his father and mother were Natives of Yorkshire of antient extract he became Secretary to him when he was made Generalissimo of the Parliament Forces in which Office he obtained or at least might have so done what wealth he pleased which might had he husbanded it well have supported his necessities in his last days In 1646 when the Garrison of Oxon was besieg'd by the said Generalissimo his help was somtimes required and when the Treaty for the delivery of it up for the use of the Parliament was in agitation he was often posting to London upon intermessages and fatigues till it was concluded In 1649 he attended his Master then Lord Fairfax with several great Officers of note to the University of Oxon where being all splendidly entertain'd by the then chief Members thereof of the Presbiterian and Independent perswasion he was actually created Master of Arts and at the same time he as a Member of Queens Coll was made one of the Delegates to take into consideration the affairs then depending between the Citizens of Oxon and Members of the said University After his Lord had laid down his Commission as General he took up his quarters for some time in Linc. Inn and being in great esteem by the men of those times he was in January 1651 constituted one of the Committee to consult about the Reformation of the Common Law In 1658 he was chosen a Burges for Berwick upon Twede near to which place he had received his first breath to serve in that Parliament called Richards Parl which began at Westm 27. Jan. the same year and again for the same place for that which commenc'd 25. of Apr. 1660 but for that which began in May 1661 he was not In Sept. 1667 at which time Sir Orl. Bridgman was made L. Keeper of the Great Seal he was by him made his Secretary and continuing in that Office so long as his Lord kept his he was then again in a capacity of enriching himself or at least to lay up some thing for a wet day Afterwards when the Popish Plot broke out and the Presbyterians and other discontented people began to be dominant he was elected Burges for the same place to serve in that Parl. which began 6. Mar. 1678 as he was afterwards for that which commenc'd 17. Oct. 1679 and for the Oxford Parl. that followed he being then as alwaies before esteemed no great friend to the Church of England and Prelacy After the dissolution of Oxford Parliament he lived very retiredly and obscurely within the City of Westminster but at length being committed prisoner for debt to the Kings bench he finished his course there as I shall anon tell you His works are these Historical Collections of private passages of State weighty matters in Law and remarkable proceedings in five Parliaments Beginning the 16 year of K. James an 1618 and ending the fifth year of K. Charles an 1629 digested in order of time Lond. 1659 fol. There again by stealth bearing the same date an 1675. When the author was fitting this book for the Press he made use of certain Manuscripts in the hands of Bulstr Whitlock one of Olivers Lords and when it was finished he presented it to the view of Oliver himself but he having no leisure to peruse it he appointed the said Whitlock to do it Jan. 1657 and accordingly running it over more than once he made some alterations in and additions to it After it was finished at the Press he dedicated the book to Richard Cromwel then L. Protector Historical Collections The second part containing the principal matters which hapned from the dissolution of the Parl. on the 16. of Mar. 4. Car. 1. 1628 9. until the summoning of the other Parliam which met at Westm 13. Apr. 1640 with an account of the proceedings of that Parl and the transactions and affairs from that time until the meeting of another Parl. on the 3. of Nov. following With some remarkable passages therein during the first sixth months c. Lond. 1680. in two vol. in fol. At the end of the last is a large Appendix containing Star-Chamber Reports for the years 1625. 26. 27 and 1628 Articles of Peace entercourses and Commerce with several other things The tryal of Thomas Earl of Strafford L. Lieutenant of Ireland upon an impeachment of High Treason by the Commons assembled in Parliament in the name of themselves and all the Commons of England begun in Westm Hall 20. Mar. 1640 and continued before judgment was given until the 10. of May 1641 c. Lond. 1680. fol. To which is added a short account of some other matters of fact transacted in both Houses of Parl precedent concomitant and subsequent to the said tryal with some special arguments in Law relating to a bill of attainder But the publisher of the said Collections having as 't is said concealed truth endeavoured to vindicate the then prevailing distractions of the late times as well as their barbarous actions and with a kind of rebound to libel the government at second hand it pleased Joh. Nalson LL. D. of Cambridge to publish in vindication of the real truth An impartial Collection of the great affairs of State from the beginning of the Scotch Rebellion an 1639. to the murther of K. Ch. 1. c. Printed at Lond. in two vol. in fol. The first extending to the end of 1641. was printed an 1682 and the other to the said murther an 1683 both published by his Maj. special command c.
