Allen Fellow of that College In the year 1622 Jul. 30 he was made Demie of Magd. Coll. and the same year was admitted Bach. of Arts. In 1625 he proceeded in that faculty and on the 26 of July the same year he was elected Fellow of that house being then Philosophy Reader and a singular ornament thereunto In 1633 he had the Rectory of Penhurst in Kent confer'd on him by the Earl of Leicester who a little before had been deeply affected with a Sermon that he had delivered at Court and in the latter end of the same year he was admitted to the reading of the Sentences In 1638 he was licensed to proceed in the faculty of Divinity and in 1640 he was made a member of the Convocation of the Clergy called with the short Parliament that began the 13 of April the same year In 1643 he had the Archdeaconry of Chichester confer'd upon him by Dr. Duppa Bishop thereof and the same year he was nominated one of the Ass of Divines but sate not About which time being forced to leave his Rectory by the Presbyterians he retired to Oxon for shelter and the year following was entertained by the Duke of Richmond and Earl of Southampton to go as their Chaplain with them to London to treat with the Parliament for a composure of the unhappy differences in Church and State so that behaving himself with great zeal and prudence was also the same year appointed to attend the Kings Commissioners at Uxbridge for peace where it being his lot to dispute with Rich. Vines a Presbyterian Minister that attended the Commissioners appointed by Parliament he did with ease and perfect clearness disperse all the Sophisms that had been brought by him or others against him In the beginning of 1645 he was upon the death of Dr. VVill. Strode made one of the Canons of Ch. Ch. in Oxon and Chaplain in ord to his Majesty then there by vertue of which place I mean the Canonry he became Orator of the University but had seldom an opportunity to shew his parts that way In 1647 he attended the King in his restraint at VVoobourne Caversham Hampton Court and the Isle of VVight but he being sequestred from the office of Chaplain to him about Christmas the same year he retired to his Canonry in Oxon and being elected Sub dean of his house continued there till the Visitors appointed by Parliament first thrust him out without any regard had to his great Learning and Religion and then imprison'd him for several weeks in a private house in Oxon. Afterwards he was confin'd to the house of Sir Philip Warwick at Clapham in Bedfordshire where continuing several months was at length released Whereupon retiring to Westwood in Worcestershire the seat of the loyal Sir John Packington to which place he had received a civil invitation remained there doing much good to the day of his death in which time he had the disposal of great Charities reposed in his hands as being the most zealous promoter of Alms giving that lived in England since the change of Religion Much more may be said of this most worthy person but his life and death being extant written by Dr. Jo.

Ch. in their common Refectory on the 8. of Januar. 1663 and at the Theatre-Royal by his Majesties Servants was made publick at Lond. 1670 and afterwards in 1677. qu. This Person who only took one degree in Arts at which time he made certain compositions in Musick of two or more parts but not as I conceive extant went afterwards into France and took as I have heard a degree in Physick at Mountpelior But being troubled with a rambling head must needs take a journey into Spain where at Madrid he died and was buried in sixteen hundred sixty and eight In which year also George More M. of A. and Fellow of Oriel Coll died there also being then in attendance on the English Embassador JOSEPH ALLEIN son of Tobie Alleine was born in a Market Town in Wilts called The Vies or Devises an 1633 and being when a Child forward to learn was educated in Grammar there which faculty he in a short time conquering was instructed by a Minister of that or a neighbouring place in the art of Logick At 16 years of age he was sent to Linc. Coll. being then well skill'd in the Lat. and Gr. tongue where continuing till 8. of Nov. 1651. was then admitted Scholar of that of Corp. Chr. and in short time after if the Wilts Fellowship should happen to be void as it did he would consequently have been Fellow But he esteeming himself as most admirably well gifted for extempore prayer as indeed he was by those of his party who took him to be a pretious young man for he and his friend could hardly ever walk or discourse together but before they parted they must at his request go and pray together he humbly desired the President of the said Coll. that upon the next vacancy of a Chaplainship he would confer that office upon him purposely as was conceived by some that he might shew his excellencies in publick twice in a day I say that he being sollicitous for that place his acquaintance would often disswade him from taking it as being much inferior to a Fellowship yet take it he did prised it and looked upon it as his honour and happiness to enjoy it This was I presume in the beginning of the year 1653 for in July that year he as Chaplain of Corp. Ch. Coll. was admitted Bach. of Arts. But before he could stay to take the degree of Master he received a Call to assist George Newton Minister of Taunton S. Magdalen in Somersetshire an 1655 where being ordained in a publick association meeting of the Brethren he administred all ordinances jointly with Mr. Newton Soon after our author Joseph received another Call to take to Wife a fair and holy Sister which being effected he would as in jest complain to his intimate friend of C. C. C. of the inconveniences of marriage viz. that whereas he used to rise at four of the clock in the morn or before his loving spouse would keep him in bed till about six Also whereas he used to study 14 hours in a day she would bring him to eight or nine And lastly that whereas he used to forbear one meal a day at least for his studies she would bring him to his meat c. At Taunton in this employment under Mr. Newton he continued till Barthelmewtide called by his party The black day an 1662 at which time being deprived of it for non-conformity sate silent for a time to his great regret At length receiving a third Call for the propagation of the Gospel he would by all means forsooth go into China to do it but being disswaded by the Brethren he fed the flock of Gods people in private At length he being snap'd for a Conventicler was committed to prison at Ilchester where he continued some years not without teaching and preaching and writing letters to the chosen of God in Taunton Several pieces of his practical divinity he hath written of which these are published A most familiar explanation of the Assemblies shorter Catechisme Wherein their larger answers are broken into lesser parcels thereby to let the light by degrees into the minds of the learners When this was first printed I cannot find Sure I am the last edition came out at Lond. 1674. in oct A most brief help for the necessary but much neglected duty of self examination to be dayly perused Printed with the former book Letter of Christian councell to a destitute flock Printed with the former also Christian letters full of spiritual instructions c.

Mildrids beforemention'd but also before both Houses of Parliament the Members of which constituted him one of the Assembly of Divines as being a Covenanteer to the purpose While he preached at S. Mildrids which was only to exasperate the People to rebel and confound Episcopacy 't was usual with him especially in hot weather to unbutton his doublet in the Pulpit that his breath might be the longer and his voice more audible to rail against the Kings Party and those that were near to him whom he called Popish Counsellors This he did in an especial manner in Sept. 1644 when he with great concernment told the People several times that God was angry with the Army for not cutting off Delinquents c.

Goffe of the person he desired his company but could not by any means perswade him to come within the verge of the Court of the Queen Mother of England then there and the reason of it was as they conceived because he would keep his opinion undiscovered to the end that he might afterwards gain some profit from the Ch. of England After his Majesties return he was restored to what he had lost became Rector of Bishops-stoke in Hampshire and of Fawley but the last he never enjoyed because not inducted thereunto About that time he being discovered to be what he was a Rom.

He was very zealous and vigorous in opposing the taking off the Penal Laws in Scotland at which time notwithstanding he was so infirm by age and sickness that he could not walk yet he was daily conveyed to the Parliament where he declared publickly his aversion to the abolishing the said Penal Laws and to use his interest with the Nobility and Gentry of the Parl. in perswading them to a firm and constant adherence to the Protestant Religion and to oppose all the designs that might be prejudicial to the same SAMUEL PARKER sometimes of Wadh afterwards of Trin.
