of the like opinion were many of his time yet the generality said that his witty discourses were biting his laughter opprobrious and scornful and his jokes commonly sharp and reflecting He hath written besides translations 50 several things upon various Subjects as well in Prose as Verse among which are these A Comedy of Virtue A Comedy of good Order Meditation on St. Anne On the Virgin of Kent Sonners on Dame Anne Elynor Rummin or Elynour of Rummyng the famous Ale-Wife of England This was several times Printed and one Impression which was the last I think was made at London 1624. in 2 Sheets and an half in 4to In the Title Page is the Picture of an old ill-favour'd Woman holding in her hand a black Pot of Ale and underneath her these Verses are written When Skelton wore the Lawrel Crown My Ale put all the Ale-Wives down This Book is the same I conceive which some Authors call The tunning of Elynor Rumpkin He hath also written The Peregrination of humane Life Solitary Sonnets The art of Dying well The art of Speaking eloquently Manners and fashions of the Court. Reasons why he goeth not to the Court.

Skelton who lived in the time of King Hen. 4 but he was a D. of D. and a Dominican as I have elsewhere told you and therefore I conceive it the reason why Baleus stileth this Poet Dr. of Divinity which no other Author beside himself doth Another Job Skelton I find who was confirmed Abbat of Whitby in Yorkshire upon the Death of Tho.

THOMAS SPENSER Son of Leonard Spenser of the City of Norwich having from his Youth been much addicted to learning and piety especially the last became afterwards a Carthusian in the Monastery of that Order at Henton in Somersetshire whence for a time he receeded to Oxon as several of his Order did to improve himself or to pass a course in Theology After his return he obtained so much leisure from his divine exercise as to write several matters relating to his faculty among which were Comment in Epist D. Pauli ad Galatas Trialogue between Tho. Bilney Hugh Latimer and W. Repps Which Book was written partly to shew the great complaints of Bilney and Latimer two Protestants had against the said Repps a Roman Catholick the same Person I presume who became Bishop of Norwich in 1536. As for our Author Spenser he gave up the ghost after he had spent most of his time in the severities belonging to his Order year 1529 in Fifteen hundred twenty and nine and was buried in his Monastery of Henton before-mention'd leaving behind him a most rare example of Piety ROBERT WHITYNTON or Whittington was born in the City of Lichfield educated partly in Grammaticals under John Stanbridge in the School joining to the common gate of Magd. Coll. and afterwards made a considerable progress in Logicals and Philosophicals but in what Coll. or Hall it appears not However his delight being much in the teaching of Youth he became so excellent in that way that it was thought especially by those that favour'd him that he surpassed W. Lilye In the beginning of the Year 1513. 5. Hen. 8. he supplicated the venerable Congregation of Regents under the name and title of Rob. Whytingdon a secular Chaplain and a Scholar of the Art of Rhetorick that whereas he had spent 14 Years in the study of the said Art and 12 Years in the informing of Boys it might be sufficient for him that he might be laureated This supplicat being granted he was after he had composed 100 Verses which were stuck up in publick places especially on the door or doors of St. Maries Church very solemnly crowned or his temples adornd with a wreath of Lawrel that is doctorated in the Arts of Grammar and Rhetorick 4 July the same Year At the same time also he was admitted to the reading of any of the Logical Books of Aristotle that is to the degree of Bach. of Arts which was then esteemed equal with the degree of Doctor of Grammar or Rhetorick From that time he always wrot himself in several of his works Protovates Angliae which was much stomach'd by Will. Horman and W. Lilye and scorn'd by others of his profession who knew him to be conceited and to set an high value upon himself more than he should have done He was then notwithstanding esteemed by many for his great skill he had in the Greek and Latin tongues for his lepid and jocular discourse also but much blamed by Scholars for the biting and sharp reflections used in it and in his Books against several noted Persons of his Age. His writings were many of which some were against W. Lilye Rob. Aldridge and Will. Horman who esteemed him a Man of great vanities a Catalogue of some of which follow De difficultate justitiae servandae in reipublicae administratione MS. in 4to written in verse to and in praise of Cardinal Tho. Wolsey The beginning of which is Quae res in terris c. Before it is an Epigram and an Epistle in Prose written on and to the said Cardinal by our Author Whitynton De quatuor virtutibus Cardineis MS. written to the said Cardinal in prose The beginning is Cum tuas multifarias virtutes

continuance Sir Tho. made in Oxon or whether he took a Degree it appears not neither can we find means to resolve us because the University Registers of that Age are deficient However this is certain that at what time our Author studied in this University Grocynus read publickly the Greek Tongue there whom he constantly hearing became a great proficient in that Language and other sorts of Learning by the helps of Lynacre his Tutor then if I mistake not Fellow of Allsouls Coll. From Oxon he removed to an Inn of Chancery at London called New Inn where continuing for a time according to the manner and custom of those that intended to make a proficiency in the municipal Laws translated himself to Lincolns Inn where easily conquering those Studies was at length called to the Bar. Afterwards growing into great favour with K. Hen. 8. who highly valued him for his Learning Wisdom Experience and extraordinary gifts of nature that he was endowed with conferr'd these honors and employments successively upon him viz. the Mastership of the Request the intrusting him in several Embrassies the honor of Knighthood the Treasureship of the Exchecquer Chancellorship of the Dutchy of Lancaster the Embassage to the Emperor and French King and at length upon the removal of Cardinal Wolsey had the great Seal delivered to him 25. Oct. 21. Hen. 8. and then also declared High Chancellor of England in which last office no Person ever before did carry himself more uprightly or with greater liking to the generality of People than he On the 16. May 24. Hen. 8. he delivered up the great Seal to the King at his Mannour House called York-place near Westminster in the presence of Thomas Duke of Norfolk upon the foresight of some evil matters that were like to come to pass and on the 20. of the same Month the said Seal was delivered by the King in his Mannour of Pleasaunce otherwise called East-Greenwych to Sir Thomas Audley Knight After this Sir Thomas retired to his House at Chelsey near London where continuing for a time in the enjoyment of his Muse not without severe devotion was at length for not acknowledging the King's Supermacy over the Church of England committed Prisoner to the Tower of London where remaining several Months very close to the endangering of his health his Daughter Margaret Wife of William Roper of Tenham and Eltham in Kent wrot a Letter to Thomas Cromwell chief Secretary of State the contents of which I have seen intreating him to be good to her Father in Prison kept so close that his health is utterly decayed Another also I have seen from Dame Alice More his Wife to the aforesaid Cromwell beseeching him to be good to her poor old Husband whose close keeping destroys his body Also the be good to her and hers considering their necessity For my good Master saith she as I would be saved before our Lord I am driven to that point that I am fain to make sale of certain imployments and old stuff to find Mr. More and me and my poor houshold with c. with other like matters written by that whining Woman which I shall now for brevity omit and only at present tell the Reader that no Man was more patient pious and severe in the course of his life than he He was also very meek humble charitable and a despiser of the things of this World and nothing was wanting in him to make a compleat Christian His parts were great and profound his skill in Divinity municipal Laws the Latin and Greek Languages in Poesie Mathematicks and what not was excellent and without compare All which endowments made him not only beloved of Kings and Nobles but of the lights of Learning of his time as Erasmus Colet Tonstal B. of Durham Fisher B. of Rochester Grocyn Lynacre Liyle Paice Elyot Lupset Leland c. most of which especially Foreign Writers have celebrated his Memory in their respective Works and all ingenious Scholars at this time bear a great respect to his Name and Lucubrations He hath written in English A merry jest how a Sergeant would learn to play a Fryer Written in Verse Verses on a hanging of a painted Cloth in his Fathers House Containing 9 Pagiants and Verses in each Lamentation on the Death of Elizabeth Wife of King Hen. 7.

Philipps wrote A summon to repentence Lond. 1584. oct but he is not to be taken to be the same with the former and another Joh. Philipps wrote The way to Heaven on Acts 2. 47. Printed in qu. 1625. Which book I having not yet seen I cannot say to the contrary but that it may be published by Joh. Philipps the Bishop Qu.
