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

Ley Vicar of Budworth in Cheshire where by continual lucubration for some years he did much improve himself in practical Divinity At length the Wars ceasing he returned to his College and continuing for some time there in godly exercise with his Tutor was admitted Bach. of Arts which being compleated by Determination he returned to Mr. Ley again and became several ways useful to him in his Studies and Profession At length being called to the Ministry at Astbury in Cheshire where the said Mr. Ley had sometimes exercis'd his function he was ordained Minister according to the Presbyterian way at Manchester but continuing not long there he was called to Eastham in Wyrrall in Cheshire where before he was quite setled he took to wife at 25 years of age one Hester the daughter of Ralph Marsden Minister of West Kirby in the said County but before the consummation of Marriage the people of the said place Marsden being dead gave him a call where he preached the Gospel to the beloved people of God From thence after some time he removed to the City of Chester where by his severe carriage he became ridiculous to the wicked So that being in a manner weary of that place he did upon the receipt of another call go into Ireland and at length setled himself and his family at Dublin became one of the Preachers in ordinary to the Lord Deputy and Council and by his often preaching and praying obtained a great flock of People to be his Admirers especially Women and Children The things that he hath written are Several Sermons and Treatises as 1 Circumspect walking a Christians wisdom on Ephes 5.15.16 2 The parable of the ten Virgins on Math. 25. from the first to the 14 vers 3 Christ the Sun of righteousness hath healing in his wings for sinners on Malach. 4.2 4 Christ his willingness to accept humbled sinners on Joh. 6.37 all which were published after his death at London 1657. qu. together with his life cantingly written by Sam.

Maries Chappel joyning to the Choire of Christ Church in the said City of Dublin where as I have been informed is a Monument set up to his memory JOSHUA HOYLE was born at Sorby otherwise Sowerbie within the Vicaridge of Halyfax in Yorkshire received his first academical Education in Magd. Hall and afterwards being invited to Ireland became a Member of Trinity Coll. near Dublin where in his Studies and Writings he directed his course for the Schoolmen In short time he became profound in the fac of Divinity took his Doctors degree therein and at length was made Divinity Professor of the University of Dublin In which Office he expounded the whole Bible through in daily Lectures and in the chiefest books ordinarily a verse a day which work held him almost 15 years Some time before he had ended that Work he began the second Exposition of the whole Bible in the Church of Trin. Coll. and within ten years he ended all the New Testament excepting one book and a piece all the Prophets all Salomon and Job So that his Answer to Malone the Jesuit did in part concur with both these Labours He preached also and expounded thrice every Sabbath for the far greater part of the year once every Holyday and sometimes twice To these may be added his weekly Lectures as Professor in the Controversies and his Answers to all Bellarmine in word and writing concerning the real presence and his finishing in above 8 years time his tome of the 7 Sacraments for there he began and his last tome in 6 years and after that sundry years in the tome or tomes remaining Upon the breaking out of the Rebellion in Ireland in 1641 he went into England having always been a noted Puritan and retiring to London became Vicar of Stepney near that City but being too scholastical he did not please the Parishioners While he remained there Jerem. Burroughs preached every morning at 7 of the clock and Will. Greenhill at 3 in the afternoon Which two persons being notorious Schismaticks and Independents were called in Stepney Pulpit by Hugh Peters the Theological Buffoon the morning star of Stepney and the evening star but never took notice of Dr. Josh Hoyle About the same time he was constituted one of the Assembly of Divines and became a helper on of the evidence against Archb. Laud when he was to come to his trial as to matter relating to the University of Dublin while he was Chancellour thereof At length by the favour of the Committee of Parliament for the reformation of the Univ. of Oxon he became Master or Head of Univ. Coll. and the Kings Professor of Divinity He was a person of great reading and memory but of less judgment and so much devoted to his book that he was in a manner a stranger to the world and things thereof a careless person and no better than a mere scholar However that which was in made him respected by the learned Usher Primate of Ireland in whose Vindication he wrot A Rejoynder to Will Malone Jesuit his Reply concerning the real presence Dublin 1641. in a thick quar Which Reply was printed at Doway 1627. After which time the Author of it Malone was made Rector of the Irish Coll. at Rome which he presided 6 years then he went into Ireland where he was Superior of the whole mission of the Jesuits for 3 years Afterwards he was taken and committed by the Protestants from whom getting loose he went into Spain and being made Rector of the Irish Coll. at Sevil died there an aged man in
1000 l. per an and any thing else that he desired Besides these honourable places he had 6000 l. at one time given to him by the Parliament and at another the Rectory and Demesness of Burford in Oxfordshire with a stately house there lately belonging to Lucius Viscount Falkland as the Author of the Mystery of the good old cause reports but falsly as I suppose for about the year 1634 the said Will. Lenthall did for the sum of 7000 l. or thereabouts purchase of the said Lucius the Priory house the stately house before mention'd and Land belonging thereunto descended to him from Elizabeth Dau. and Heir of Sir Laurence Tanfeild Lord Chief Baron of the Exchecquer sometimes the Wife of Henry Lord Falkland Lord Lieutenant of Ireland Father of Lucius In Aug. 1648 when there was a debate in the Parliament house whether the Treaty should be with the King in the Isle of Wight upon the propositions of Hampton Court there were for it 57 yeas and against it 57 noes Whereupon he as Speaker turn'd the Scales to yeas which was the best thing he ever did Oliver once made a spunge of and squeez'd from him 15000 l. and turning him and his tribe the Long Parliament out of doors in 1653 after he had sate it out in all changes and resisted many storms and high complaints against him he veered about to save himself his great offices and chiefly to avoid a new encounter or frown from the present power So that he that had been so long the Belweather in the H. of Commons was thought fit for his compliance and money to be one of the Other House In 1654 he was elected one of the Knights of Oxfordshire and Burgess for the City of Glocester to serve in that Parliament called by Oliver to meet at Westm 3. of Sept. the same year of which Parliament he was chosen Speaker When that Convention call'd the Rump Parliament was invited by the Army to sit again 6 May 1659 for they had been turn'd out by Oliver in 1653 he became Speaker also as he had been before and on the 23 of the said month he was constituted and appointed Keeper of the Great Seal for the Commonwealth of England for eight days only next ensuing But that Parliament which was filled up by the members secluded thence in 1648 being dissolved on the 16 of March following he endeavoured by his Agents to be chose a Burgess for the University of Oxon to serve in that Parliament which began at Westm 25 Apr. 1660 as at one or two places besides where he had canvas'd for votes but missing his design he retired in private and endeavoured to hide or convey away the vast deluge of wealth which he had obtained as also to secure to his posterity that estate he had purchased in the name of other People But being at length to be called to an accompt for what he had done the Healing Parliament that then met resolved on the eleventh of June that he the said Will. Lenthall be one of the twenty to be excepted out of the general Act of indempnity and oblivion to suffer such pains penalties and forfeitures not extending to life as shall be thought fit to be inflicted by an Act hereafter to be made for that purpose But that Act being soon after made I find therein that if he the said Will. Lenthall should after the first of Sept. 1660 accept or exercise any office Ecclesiastical Civil or Military should to all intents and purposes in Law stand as if he had been totally excepted by name in the said Act. And well it was that he escaped so for had it not been for his money and the mercy of his Prince whereby he got a general pardon he might have been totally sequestred of his Estate and made perpetual Prisoner So that then being free he became a witness on the Kings side against Tho. Scot the Regicide when he and others of that gang were to be tried for their lives And afterwards retiring to his house at Burford before mention'd where he built a pretty Chappel joyning thereunto shewing great love to Scholars and the neighbouring Clergy we heard no more of him till the time of his death He was a Person very inconstant and wavering in his Principles of a slavish temper a taker of all Oathes whether Covenant or engagement or those to be faithful to Oliver and Richard besides what he had before done to K. James and K. Ch. 1. He minded mostly the heaping up of riches and was so besotted in raising and setling a family that he minded not the least good that might accrue to his Prince As for those things that are published under his name as either utter'd or written by him are these following Several Speeches as 1 Sp. to his Maj. in the High Court of Parl. 5.

George in Somersetshire at which place much about the same time he taught a Grammar School In the time of the rebellion he was outed thence for his loyalty as some of his relations have said but I think false and afterwards retiring to the City of Exeter closed so much with the Presbyterians that he became Minister of S.

Com. in Michaelm term an 1631. aged 16 years But being looked upon as a slow and dreaming young man by his seniors and contemporaries and given more to cards and dice than his study they could never then in the least imagine that he could ever inrich the World with his fansie or issue of his brain as he afterwards did From Trin. Coll. where he continued about 3 years and had been examined in the publick Schools for the degree of Bach. of Arts he went to Lincolns inn where tho he followed his study very close to the appearance of all persons yet he would game much and frequent the company of the unsanctified crew of Gamesters who rook'd him sometimes of all he could wrap or get But his Father having received notice of these matters took him severely to task with many threatnings to cast him off if he did not forbear from so doing Whereupon he wrot a Little Essay against Gaming shewing the vanities and inconveniencies which he presented to his Father to let him know his detestation of it After his Fathers death who died 6. Jan. 1638 and was buried in Egham Church in Surrey he fell to gaming again and shortly after squandred away several thousands of pounds that were left him c. In the latter end of the year 1641 he published the Tragedy called The Sophy which took extremely much and was admired by all ingenious men particularly by Edm. Waller of Beaconsfield who then said of the author that he broke out like the Irish rebellion threescore thousand strong when no body was aware or in the least suspected it Shortly after he was prick'd High Sherriff for Surrey and made Governour of Farnham Castle for the King But he being an inexpert soldier soon after left that office and retired to his Maj. at Oxon where he printed his poem called Coopers hill which hill is in the Parish of Egham in Surrey above Runney mead hath a very noble prospect and the author of it from thence doth admirably well describe several places in his view there which he mentions in that most celebrated poem In 1648 he conveyed or stole away James Duke of York from S.

He did not I say by these and such like most unwarrantable contrivances endeavour to withdraw weaker persons from the sacred bosome of the Church in order to fix and herd them in associated defying Conventicles He was respected by and maintain'd an amicable correspondence with some of the conformable Clergy because of his great knowledg and moderation He hath written and published Lutherus redivivus or the Protestant doctrine of justification by faith only vindicated And the plausible opinion of justification by faith and obedience proved to be Arminian Popish and to lead unavoidably to Socinianisme part 1.

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.

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.

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.

Thomas Earl of Strafford Lord Lieutenant of Ireland who gave him the Deanery of Connor in that Kingdom at which time he was esteem'd well vers'd in the Ecclesiastical Laws On the 30 of Apr. 1639 he was admitted Doctor of the Laws of the University of Dublin and going soon after into England was incorporated Doctor of that faculty at Oxon. In the time of the rebellion in Ireland he lost all there and suffer'd much for the royal cause but being restored to what he had lost after his Majesties return was in requital of his sufferings made Bishop of Fernes and Laighlin in the said Kingdom to which Sees being consecrated in the Cathedral Church of S. Patrick on the 27 of January 1660 sate there to the time of his death which hapned in sixteen hundred sixty and five as I have been informed by one of his successors in the said Sees named Dr. Narcissus Marsh now Archb. of Cashiells who also told me that Dr. Rich. Boyle succeeded Dr. Price in those Sees JOHN EARLE sometimes Fellow of Merton Coll afterwards Dean of Westminster was consecrated Bishop of VVorcester on the death of Gauden in the latter end of Nov. 1662 and thence translated to Salisbury in the latter end of Sept. an 1663.

Asaph in the latter end of Octob. 1660 and died in sixteen hundred sixty and six under which year you may see more of him among the Writers p. 270. He succeeded in the said See after it had laid void 9 years one Dr. Joh. Owen of Cambridge of whom I have made mention in the first vol. of this work p. 628. But whereas I have said there that he was author of Herod and Pilate reconciled c. which I took from Mercurius Publicus published 4. June 1663 wherein 't is said that Dr. Owen late Bishop of S. Asaph was the author it proves an errour for David Owen was the writer of it as I have told you in the said vol in the Fasti p. 803 wherein the first part of the title is omitted for whereas the title there is The concord of a Papist and Puritan for the coercion deposition and killing of Kings it should be Herod and Pilate reconciled or the concord of a Papist c.

Henchman he being then possest of a Benefice elsewhere What were his sufferings in the time of the rebellion if any or his merits afterwards to be advanced to a Bishoprick let others speak while I tell you that after his Majesties restauration he was by the endeavours of his kinsman Sir Edw.

School was admitted in Kings Coll. in Cambridge an 1631. Whilst he was Scholar he made an excursion to Paris upon the customary leave of absence which is but for 9 weeks in a year without the College or his Relations privity After he was made Fellow he travelled for some years into France Germany Italy Turkey Palestine Aegypt Arabia and sent a large account of his several travels to his contemporary Dr. Charles Mason After his return he lived high as he had done before without any visible income and gave a fair Alcoran to Kings Coll.

July 1645. Afterwards being taken Prisoner in one of his Majesties unfortunate battles he wrot to the Parliament and told them that he had taken up armes neither for religion for there were then so many that he knew not which to be of nor for that moustrap the Laws but to re-establish the King in his Throne and therefore seeing that the time was not yet come he desired leave that they would discharge him that he might relinquish the Land which accordingly was done After the murder of K.
