resolved not to submit to their new Masters Soon after he was one of the first that was deprived of all that he had in Oxon or elsewhere for not submitting to them tho he was offer'd by one of the Grandees of the H. of Commons to keep all that he had without being put to say or do or subscribe any thing against his Conscience if he would but then give his word only that he would not actually appear against them or their proceedings See in Hist Antiq. Univ. Oxon. lib. 1. 391. a. b. 393. a. 394. a. 395. a. 396. a. c. After this he was one of the Divines that was sent for by the King to assist at the Treaty in the Isle of Wight which proving ineffectual he resolved having first assisted the gallant Arthur Lord Capell as his confessor before his execution in the beginning of Mar. 1648 to quit his Country and find out the young King and never to return till he and the Crown and the Church were restored With this resolution he left England in the 51. year of his age and found him at the Hague where he was graciously received by him From thence he went first with him into France and from thence with him to the Scotch Treaty at Breda and there preach'd the last Sermon that the K. heard before he went into Scotland whither being not suffer'd to carry any of his own Divines with him he the said Dr. Morley went thereupon to the Hague and after some short stay there he went with his dearest friend Dr. Jo. Earle to live at Antwerp where they continued together in the house of Sir Charles Cottrel Master of the Ceremonies for the space of one year or thereabouts At which time Sir Charles being called thence to be Steward to the Queen of Bohemia and Dr. Earle to attend on his Higness James Duke of York then in France Dr. Morley continued still in Antwerp with the Lady Frances Hyde her Husband Sir Edw. Hyde being then Embassador for the King in Spain and all the time he was there which was about 3. or 4 years he read the Service of the Church of England twice every day catechiz'd once a week and administred the Communion once a month to all the English in the Town who would come to it as he did afterwards at Breda for 4 years together in the same Family But betwixt his going from Antwerp and his comming to Breda he was invited by the Queen of Bohemia to the Hague to be her Chaplain And he thereupon knowing her condition to be necessitous thought himself so much the rather oblig'd both in Conscience towards God and in duty to the Royal Family for she was Sister to K. Charles 1. to wait on her and accordingly he did and readily officiated both in her family and in the English Church there about two years and an half without expecting or receiving any Salary or gratuity at all for so doing There as in all other places where he lived especially at Breda he was blest with a retirement full of satisfaction to himself and with many opportunities of doing much good to others also For besides the constant reading of the Prayers of the Church his Catechizing of young persons his administring the holy Sacraments and his devoutest supplications for the K. and the Church in private he visited the sick and buried the dead and relieved many whom their Loyalty had impoverished His learned acquaintance abroad were Andr. Rivet Dan. Heinsius and Claud. Salmasius whom he often visited to the last of which then abiding at Leyden the King sent our author Morley to give him thanks in his name for the Apology he had published for his martyr'd Father but not with a purse of Gold as Joh. Milton the impudent lyer reported But his acquaintance was more intimate with the famous Sam. Bochart to whom he wrote a Latine Letter from Paris declaring his reasons of not coming to the French Congregation To which Mr. Bochart printed an answer in Latine the year following And as he was zealous for the Church so he was also for his Royal Master wâtness the large Epistle he wrote in Latine to Triglandius to vindicate his Master from the false aspersion of Popery For his friends at home of whom he never lost any but by death only were eminent both for parts and quality the chiefest of which were Lucius L. Falkland and Sir Francis Wenman of Oxfordshire both long since dead and Edward Earl of Clarendon who died long after them Among the Clergy were Dr. Rob. Payne Dr. H. Hammond and Dr. Rob. Sanderson late B. of Linc. who were all Canons of Ch. Ch. at the same time with him To these may be added many more as Mr. W. Chillingworth Dr. Gilb. Sheldon Archb. of Cant Dr. Earl of Salisbury c. with the two last of which he kept a constant friendship for above 40 years and enjoyed the company of Dr. Earl very often abroad which made his banishment less tedious to him After his Majesties return this most worthy person Dr. Morley was first made Dean of Ch. Ch being then Chapl. to the Duchess of York whence after he had restored those that had been illegaly ejected in 1648 c. and had filled up the vacant places he was called to be Bishop of Worcester to which See he was Consecrated in the Abbey Church at Westm on the 28. of Octob. 1660 and in the beginning of the next year had the honour to preach the Kings Coronation-Sermon and soon after made Dean of the Chappel Royal in the place of Dr. Sheldon In 1662 he was upon the death of Dr. Duppa translated to the See of Winchester confirmed therein 14. May the same year where he hath truly verified the saying that the King gave when he bestowed the said Bishoprick on him that he would never be the richer for it For besides his expences in building and repairing his Palace at Winchester he hath laid out much more than the supplies the Parliament gave him in the Act which impowred him to lease out Waltham Park and his Tenements which were built out of Winchester House in Southwark He spent 8000 l. in repairing the Castle at Farnham before the year 1672 and afterwards spent more and above 4000 l. in purchasing Winchester House at Chelsey to annex it to the See which when he came to he found not an house to dwell in yet afterwards left two fair ones to his successors At that time also he had not purchased one foot of Land or Lease as if he had taken more care to enrich the poor than his Relations and what his benefaction was to the Coll. that gave him education you may see in Hist Antiq. Univ. Oxon. lib. 2. p. 285. a. In the first year of his Translation he visited his Diocese in person and went into the Isle of Wight where had not been a Bishop before in the memory of man In July 1664 he came to Oxon
endeavours of some of his friends and fellow-sufferers to reduce the University to that manner and form as to Preaching Disputing Discipline Opinion c. as 't was while Dr. Laud was Chancellour thereof but because of the twenty years interval wherein a most strange liberty loosness in manners and religion had taken place they could not do it and I remember that many made it a ridiculous thing that he and they should in the least think of such a matter which a whole age could not do nor that also unless a succession of good Kings came that should be of the same mind and opinion with Ch. 1. of ever blessed memory He was a most excellent Disciplinarian kept up the exercise of his house severely was admirable in training up Youth of noble extraction had a faculty in it peculiar to him and was much delighted in it He would constantly on several mornings in the week take his rounds in his Coll go to the Chambers of Noblemen and Gent. Commoners and examine and see what progress they made in their studies He constantly frequented divine Service in public four times in a day and had besides Prayers twice every day in his own family He was a most zealous Favourer of the Ch. of England and none that I yet know of did go beyond him in the performance of the rules belonging thereunto He was a great encourager and promoter of Learning in the University and of all public works belonging thereunto witness not only the Edifices before mentioned but his sollicitation for the building of the publick Theater to the end that the house of God might be kept free for its own use He likewise advanced the learned Press and improv'd the Manufacture of Printing in Oxford in such manner as it had been designed before by that public spirited person Dr. Laud Archb. of Canterbury and certainly it would have been by him effected as other matters of greater concern relating to Religion and Learning had not the iniquity of the restless Presbyterians prevented him He was also a person of a most generous spirit undervalued money and disburs'd it so freely upon learned pious and charitable uses that he left sometimes for himself and his private use little or nothing He was an eager defender and maintainer of the University and its Privileges especially while he executed the office of Vicechancellour against the Oppugners of them and always endeavour'd to advance its Liberties for which he often gained the ill opinions of the Citizens He was a bold and resolute man and did not value whaâ the generality said or thought of him so that he could accomplish his just and generous designs which being too many to effect was the chief reason of shortning his days His charity was so great that he was a husband to the afflicted widow a father to the orphan and a tender parent to poor Children He constantly allowed an yearly pension to a poor man of S. Thomas in the Suburb of Oxon purposely that he should teach gratis 20 or 24 poor children of that Parish to read some of which he afterward bound Apprentices or made Scholars He was a person of great morals and vertues spent his time in celebacy of an unspotted life and unquestionable reputation On the 8 of Jan. 1675 he was elected Bishop of Oxon by the Chapter of Ch. Ch. by vertue of a Conge d'eslire sent to them from his Majesty and on the sixth of Febr. following being then Shrove Sunday he was consecrated in the Chappel of the Bishop of Winchester at Chelsey near London at which time liberty was given to him to keep his Deanery in commendam purposely to keep him in his Coll. that he might do farther good therein and in the University No sooner he was setled in his See but he betook himself to the rebuilding the Palace belonging thereunto at Cudesden near Oxon whereupon examining what had been done in order to it by any of his Predecessors which was no considerable matter he undertook and finished it as I have told you in the first vol. p. 634 yet enjoyed but a little time in it As for his Works pertaining to Learning they are these The life of the most learned Rev. and Pious Dr. Hen.

Maurice his brother with their attendants departed and those that followed them the next day were about 300 persons most of them of quality and their attendants When the forces belonging to the Parliament were entred who were all Presbyterians Independents or worse were among them their Chaplains of the same perswasion who forthwith upon all occasions thrust themselves into the pulpits purposely by their rascally doctrine to obtain either Proselites or to draw off from their loyal Principles and orthodox Religion the Scholars and Inhabitants Among them were Hugh Peters that diabolical Villain and Pulpit-buffoon Will. Dell Chapl. to Sir Tho Fairfax John Saltmarsh Will. Erbury c. and what they did there besides during their stay is too large a story now to tell you In Sept. following were seven Presbyterian Ministers who had formerly their education in this University appointed by Parliament sent to Oxon to preach at S. Maries and elsewhere to draw off the Scholars from their loyal principles but Edw. Corbet one of them being about that time called thence the six carried on the work yet found opposition by the Independents and other Sectaries of whom Will. Erbury was one yet all upon any occasion would joyn together to pluck down and persecute the Malignants that is Cavaliers and Royalists So that whereas before the surrender there was no place in England more loyal to their Prince orthodox and observant of the Ceremonies of the Church of England than the Scholars and the generality of the Inhabitants of Oxon were so after the entry of the said Parliamenteers there appeared nothing but confusion darkness c. Hell was broke loose upon the poor remnant and they were over-run by Sectaries Blasphemers Hypocrites Exciters to Rebellion Censurers Covetous persons men of self-pride envy and what not So that those of the Gown that could not brook such persons did either leave the University or abscond in their respective houses till they could know their doom by the approaching Visitation The Soldiery did declare their impudence so much that they forbore not to preach in some of the Pulpits and to thrust themselves into the public Schools and there in the places of Lecturers speak to the Scholars against humane learning and challenge the most learned of them to prove their Calling from Christ c. But let the restless Presbyterians be thanked for the original of all these Evils and others that followed who to fill their coffers raise families please and cherish their private lusts and endearments and nothing else care not what mischief they do or what ruin they bring upon this poor Nation so that they might obtain their own unworthy ends An.

the honor of the Protestant Religion and the English Nation insomuch as his many conflicts with and conquests of the learned Sorbonists in defence of the Protestants and opposition to the Papists caused even those his adversaries to give him this encomium that he was Featlaeus acutiss acerrimus Upon his return into England he repaired to his College took the degree of Bac. of Div. 1613 and soon after became Rector of Northill in Cornwall by the favour of Ezeck Arscot Esq one of his Pupils and a Cornish man born But before he was scarce warm there he was sent for from thence to be domestick Chaplain to Dr. Abbot Archb. of Canterbury and by him was prefer'd soon after to the Rectory of Lambeth in Surrey In 1617 he proceeded in Divinity and puzled Prideaux the Kings professor so much with his learned arguments that a quarrel thereupon being raised the Archbishop was in a manner forced to compose it for his Chaplains sake The Archb. of Spalato being also present at the disputation was so much taken with our Authors arguments that he forthwith gave him a Brothers-place in the Savoy Hospital near London he being then Master thereof About that time he had the Rectory of Alhallowes Church in Broadstreet within the City of London confer'd upon him by Canterbury which soon after he changed for the Rectory of Acton in Middlesex and at length became the third and last Provost of Chelsey Coll. In 1625 he left Canterburies service being then married and retiring to Kennington near Lambeth where his wife had a house laid aside his polemical Divinity wholly devoted himself to the study and practice of Piety and Charity and composed his Ancilla Pietatis which the next year was published From that time to the beginning of the Civil War may be many things here spoken of him worthy of memory as of his often disputes with persons of contrary Religion his writing of books against the Church of Rome c. which shall now for brevity sake he omitted In Nov. 1642 after the King had encountred the Parliament-Soldiers at Brentford some of the Rebels took up their quarters at Acton who after they had missed our Author Featley whom they took to be a Papist or at least that he had a Pope in his belly they drank and eat up his Provision burnt down a Barn of his full of Corn and two Stables the loss amounting to 211 l. and at the same time did not only greatly profane the Church there by their beastly actions but also burnt the rails pull'd down the Font broke the windows and I know not what In Feb. following the said Rebels sought after him in the Church at Lambeth on a Lords day to murder him but he having timely notice of their coming withdrew and saved himself In 1643 when the Bishops were altogether disinabled from performing their Office and thereupon the Assembly of Divines was constituted by the Blessed Parliament then by some so call'd our Author was appointed a member thereof shewing himself among them to have more of Calvin in him than before being as t is said a Calvinist always in his heart tho he shewed it not so openly till that time But so it was that our Author being a main stickler against the Covenant there which he was to take did in a letter to the learned Dr. Usher Primate of Ireland then at Oxon in the middle of Sept. the same year shew to him the reasons why he excepted against it A copy of which letter or else another which he about the same time wrot being treacherously gotten from him was first carried to the Close Committee and at length to the House of Commons Whereupon our Author being judged to be a Spye and a betrayer of the Parliaments cause was seised on committed Prisoner to the Lord Petre's house in Aldergatestreet on the 30 of the said month and his Rectories taken away that of Acton being bestowed on the infamous Independent Philip Nye and that of Lambeth on Joh.

Jacob whom I have before mention'd under the year 1621 by his Wife Sarah Sister to John Dumaresque of the Isle of Jersey Gent. was born in the Dioc. of London and in his youthful years was sent by his Relations beyond the Seas to be educated in the Principles of his Father At length being his good fortune to be put under the tuition of the famous Thomas Erpenius did in a short time by the help of a natural Genie become the prodigie of his age for Philological and Oriental learning This is that Erpenius who went beyond all the Curiosi of his time for severe and crabbed literature nay beyond Drusius the Belgick Critick who would scarce give place to either of the Scaligers For one who knew them well saith that Erpenius was integerrimus doctissimusque vir Linguae Arabicae non peritior tantum quam Drusio sed etiam multo peritissimus c. At two and twenty years of age or more he came into England and by the endeavours of Will. Bedwell with whom the profession of Arabick then only remain'd he was presented as a great rarity to that most noble and generous Count William Earl of Pembroke Chancellour of this University who forthwith for his encouragement sent his Letters to the University in his behalf that he might be created Bach. of Arts dated 24. Nov. 1628. in which he saith that Hen. Jacob a young Scholar had bestowed divers years in the Low Countries in the study of good literature and had his education principally under one Erpenius a famous Scholar especially in the Oriental language in which learning he profited under him beyond the vulgar sort of Students and beyond the ordinary measures of his age c. In compliance to which Letters he was in January following adorned with that degree At the same time being commended to the patronage of Joh. Selden Hen. Briggs and Pet. Turner men much famous in their generation our Author was by their endeavours elected Probationer-Fellow of Mert. Coll. in the year following But then he having not so much Logick and Philosophy to carry him through the severe exercises of that Society the Warden and Fellows tacitly assign'd him Philological Lecturer This being done he was called away to follow Law-suites concerning his Patrimony which being concluded he fell into a dangerous sickness and by the sudden loss of his Patron Pembroke his life was in jeopardy Soon after that great encourager of learning Bishop Laud succeeding him in the Chancellourship of this University a way was found out from Mert. Coll. statutes to make him Socius Grammaticalis that is Reader of Philology to the Juniors a place that had been disused for about an 100 years So that being setled and made compleat Fellow he spent some time with the famous Selden an 1636. in composing a book which he was then publishing
for plunder'd Ministers at Westminster where he began to make a solemn profession of his faith in Orthodox Language to the admiration of some there that had heard and were ready to witness against him the said blasphemies But the then Chairman took him up and commanded him silence saying we know your tricks well enough c. To say the truth he had Language at command and could dissemble for matter of profit or to avoid danger and it was very well known he was only a meer Cantâr However he is characterized by those of his perswasion to have been a holy harmless man for which not only the World hated him but also those of the Church and add that 't is hoped they did it ignorantly On the 12 of Octob. 1653 he with John Webster sometimes a Cambridge Scholar endeavoured to knock down Learning and the Ministry both together in a disputation that they then had against two Ministers in a Church in Lombard-street in London Erbury then declared that the wisest Ministers and purest Churches were at that time befool'd confounded and defiled by reason of Learning Another while he said that the Ministers were Monsters Beasts Asses greedy Dogs false Prophets and that they are the Beast with seven heads and ten horns The same Person also spoke out and said that Babylon is the Church in her Ministers and that the great Whore is the Church in her Worship c. So that with him there was an end of Ministers and Churches and Ordinances altogether While these things were babled to and fro the multitude being of various opinions began to mutter and many to cry out and immediatly it came to a mutiny or tumult call it which you please wherein the Women bore away the bell but lost some of them their kerchiefs And the dispute being hot there was more danger of pulling down the Church than the Ministry This our Author Erbury hath written The great Mysterie of Godliness Jesus Christ our Lord God and Man and Man with God one in Jesus Christ our Lord.

Coll. but in Divinity wherein making great proficiency was sent by his Superior to Valladolid in Spain where he took the degree of Doctor of Divinity Thence as I suppose he went into the Mission of England in which Employment he remained some years From thence he was sent for to Rome to be consulted with about the affairs of the English Popish Clergy Which being finished according to his mind he was remitted into England again and at length was by the Pope made Bishop titular only of Chalcedon in Greece and by him commissionated to exercise episcopal Jurisdiction in England over the Catholicks there The chief stage of his action was in Lancashire where he appeared in his Pontificalia with his horned Miter and Crosier conferring of Orders bestowing his Benediction and such like to the wonder of ignorant and poor people At length the King having received notice of these matters he renewed his Proclamation in 1628 one of a former date taking no effect for his apprehension promising an hundred pounds to be presently paid to him that did it besides all the profits which accrued to the Crown as legally due from the person that entertained him But the Bishop having timely notice of these matters convey'd himself over into France where he became a Confident of Armandus du Plessis Cardinal and Duke of Richlieu who confer'd upon him the Abbatship of Charroux in the diocess of Poitou which he kept and received the profits of it till 1647 and then Julius Cardinal Mazarine took it into his own hands The conveniency and validity of the episcopal power of the said Dr. Smith was made the subject of several books which were written thereon viz. in favour of him were 1 N. le Maistre a Sorbon Priest in a book intit De persecutione Episcoporum de illustrissimo Antistite Chalcedonense 2 The faculty of Paris which censur'd all such that opposed him In opposition to him or them were 1 Daniel a Jesuit or Dan. Ã Jesu i. e. Joh. Floyd a Jesuit 2 one Horucan 3 Lumley an English man and 4 Nich. Smith a Regular who with his Brethren did make so great a stir about this Bishops Authority and were heightned to that animosity against the secular Priests the Bishop being of that number that the Pope was forced to rouze and declare himself concern'd in so great a scandal to the Unity of the Rom. Church And because he would not proceed to cure this Schism until he rightly understood the original ground thereof over he dispatched into England Gregory Panzani a Civilian and Rom. Priest an 1634. with a Commission of Oyer and Terminer of hearing and determining the Quarrel if not to certifie to him the state of the cause and where the fault lay This was the upper Mantle of the Plot which had readily in it enough to overspread more secret designs so that they were not transparent to vulgar eyes But tho his Instructions would not own any other lading yet some especially the puritannical party held it for certain that they had taken in other contrivances of pernitious import to the Church and State of England He tarried here till 1636 having by that time procured an indifferent fair agreement between the Seculars and the Regulars What else was to be done in the matter was to be performed by Seignior George Con the Popes Agent sent into England the same year of Panzani his departure As for the Bishop of Chalcedon he was a general read Scholar in the Controversies between the Papists and Protestants in Histories whether civil or profane and did great service for the Cause he professed He hath written An Answer to the Challenge of Thom.

Bright who perceiving him to be a youth of pregnant parts was by his perswasion sent to Ball. Coll. in 1624 But being his chance to be put under the tuition of a careless Tutor he was removed to Pembroke Coll. then newly founded and became Pupil to Mr. Tho. Lushington reputed by the generality of Scholars eminent for his Philosophical learning After he had taken the degree of Bach. of Arts and had compleated it by publick Determination he returned to his Country and for a while taught a private School and preached in the Chappels belonging to Kings Norton in Worcestershire Afterwards being a frequenter of the Lectures at Bermingham in Warwickshire maintained and held up by old Puritans they so much operated on his spirit that he relinquished his former principles adhered to that party and in many respects became an enemy to the Church of England and in fine so rigid in his perswasion that he was disliked by the Brethren Much about the same time he served the cure of Kings Norton under his Brother Mr. John Hall who at length resigned it all unto him and for his farther encouragement got the Free-school adjoyning to be added to it Both which employments took up most of his time and were all the preferments he ever had in the Church For being a single person a lover of books and learning and of a retired and obscure life never looked farther than his beloved Kings Norton At the turn of the times in 1641 he shew'd himself openly a Presbyterian and complied altogether with that party not for preferment sake but because they were against Bishops and Ceremonies At length in 1652 having the testimony of godly and able men had the degree of Bach. of Divinity confer'd upon him by the then members of the University but with this condition that he should preach a Latine Sermon as part of his exercise and an English Sermon instead of his other exercise Both which were as I conceive accordingly done tho his admission appears not He was accounted a Person by those of his own perswasion of great integrity and single-heartedness in his Ministry of a free and liberal heart just and one that lived much by faith of an holy and unblamable life of humble deportment and carriage a great lover of peace a plain and profitable Preacher that he was much in communion with God in publick abundant in thansgiving to God careful how to spend his time c.

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.

Afterwards entring into holy Orders he became Chaplain to John Lord Paulet and in Aug. 1618 was by him presented to the rectory of Henton S. 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. Davids Church there and for several years was much frequented by them About the time of his Majesties restauration he went to East Coker in Somersetshire where he had lived for some time before he went to Exeter at which place he taught School for some time and afterwards was made Minister of it His works are The Saints hony-comb full of Divine truths touching both Christian belief and a Christian life in two cent Lond. 1652. oct The Communicants guide directing both the younger and elder sort how they may receive the Sacrament of the Lords Supper Lond. 1654. oct Pious thoughts vented in pithy ejaculations Lond. 1658. oct as also A Catechisme print in oct which I have not yet seen He died on the vigil of the Nativity of our Saviour in sixteen hundred sixty and eight and was buried in the Chancel of the Church of East Coker before mention'd but hath neither inscription or monumental stone over his grave JOHN DENHAM the only Son of Sir Joh.

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. James's in Westminster then under the tuition of Algernon Earl of Northumberland and carried him into France to the Prince of Wales and the Qu. Mother and not long after was sent with William afterwards Lord Crofts as Envoyes to the King of Poland by the said Prince then K. Ch. 2.

and sometimes at London he continued with that Count more than an year In which time he did translate one of Virgils Aeneids and burlesqu'd it but whether he ever publish'd it I know not K.

Owen engraven Here lies interred the body of Mr. Edward Bagshaw minister of the Gospell who received from God faith to embrace it courage to defend it and patience to suffer for it which by the most despised and by many persecuted esteeming the advantage of birth education and learning as things of worth to be accounted loss for the knowledge of Christ. From the reproaches of pretended friends and persecutions of professed Adversaries he took Sanctuary by the will of God in eternal rest the 28. Dec.
he bound himself by oath to observe the four vows Afterwards he taught Humanity for some years at S. Omers or was as a certain author tells us Reader of Poetry and Master of the Syntax an 1622. About that time being sent on the mission into England he setled in the City of Oxon. where and in the Neighbourhood he administred to the R. C. till towards the latter end of his life He lived many years in a poor cottage without the east gate of that City standing on the site of the habitation sometimes belonging to the brethren of the Holy Trinity In the said cottage did then live two Ro. Cath. Virgins of mean condition named Mary and Joan Meakyns who from their Childhood had dedicated themselves to piety and good works always lived singly and arrived both of them beyond the age of man These two antiquated Virgins were owners of the cottage and did very carefully attend this Father and took as much care of him as if he had been their own Father or Brother His fare was course his drink of a penny a gawn or gallon his bed was under thatching and the way to it was up a ladder With these two I say he lived in a most retir'd and devout condition till God was pleased to translate them to a better place and then the Father was removed to the Dolphin Inn in Magd. Parish in the suburb of Oxon the Hostes of which was one of his perswasion where he ended his days He was esteemed by all especially by those of his opinion a learned Man well vers'd in the Poets of a quiet disposition and gentile behaviour which made him therefore respected and his company to be desired by certain Scholars of the University especially by Tho. Masters and other ingenious men of New Coll. But this their civility to and esteem of him was not while the Presbyterians governed who made it a most dreadful and damnable thing to be seen in the company of Papists especially of Romish Priests but before the rebellion broke forth upon their account when then the Men of the Church of England had a respect for Papists as they now have for Presbyterians The things that this Father hath written are The judgment of an University man concerning Mr. Will.

Ch. 1. and in 1639 proceeded Doct. of Div. But the Rebellion breaking out soon after he was sequestred of his Rectory by the Presbyterians plunder'd and forced to fly and at length losing his Vicaridge he shifted from place to place and by the favour of his Majesty had the Deanery of Chichester and the Mastership of the Hospital there conferr'd upon him tho little or no profit accrued thence till after the restauration of K.

Sedgwick he became Rector of S. Pauls Church in Covent-garden near London where he was much frequented by Presbyterians and Independents for his fluent and practical way of preaching In the beginning of Sept. 1658 when the Titmouse Prince called Richard was inaugurated to the Protectorate according to the Humble petition and advice our author Manton the peculiar Chaplain to that dignity as Prelate of the Protectorship said prayers and blessed him his Council Armies and People and so concluded that scene In the latter end of the year 1659 he was by Act of Parliament I mean that Parl. to which the secluded members were restored by General Monk constituted one of the Triers or Approvers of Ministers according to the Presbyterian way and in the beginning of the year following he took holy Orders at Westminster from Thomas Bishop of Galloway Soon after his Majesty being restored to his Kingdoms towards which he pretended to be a helper when he could not hinder it he was sworn one of his Chaplains in Ordinary and in that quality he was by vertue of his Majesties Letters actually created Doctor of Divinity among several Royallists who had in a most miserable manner suffer'd for their Loyalty He then as 't was observed by curious men present in the Convocation house looked like a person rather fatted up for the slaughter than an Apostle being a round plump and jolly man but the others the Royallists resembled

Woodhead is a person most highly famed among the Roman Catholicks and that he is in his opinion the most ingenious and solid writer of the whole Rom. Party His Works plainly shew him to have been a person of sound and solid judgment well read in the Fathers and in the polemical Writings of the most eminent and renowned Defenders of the Church of England who have quite down from the Reformation successfully managed the Protestant Cause against Rome He was so wholly devoted to retirement and the prosecutions of his several studies that no worldly concerns shared any of his affections only satisfying himself with bare necessaries and so far from coveting applause or preferment tho perhaps the compleatness of his learning and great worth might have given him as just and fair a claim to both as any others of his perswasion that he used all endeavours to secure his beloved privacy and conceal his name And altho he obtained these his desires in great part yet his calm temperate and rational discussion of some of the most weighty and momentous Controversies under debate between the Protestants and Romanists rendred him an Author much fam'd and very considerable in the esteem of both He hath written very many things some of which were published in his life time and some after his death all without his own name or initial letters of it set to them The Catalogue of most of them follow A brief account of ancient Church Government with a reflection on several moderne Writings of the Presbyterians The Assembly of Divines their Jus divinum Ministerii Anglicani published 1654 and Dr. Blondel's Apologia pro sententia Hieronymi and others touching this subject Lond. 1662 and 85 in four parts in a thin quart This book was generally reported to have been written by him yet a certain R.

Mordants Soldiers then in Oxon. searching the house of the said Boatman a reputed Fanatick under pretence for the finding out a P. Priest which he was suspected to harbour they discovered the said books and finding upon examination that they belonged to Mr. Walker they seized on and convey'd them away to the Colonels quarters with intentions to have them publicly burnt but upon farther consideration they at length after they had detained them several weeks did as I have heard restore them to the person whom Mr. Walker had appointed to look after them But to return It was also reported very frequently that he Woodhead wrote Gods benefits to mankind Oxon. 1680. qu.

By the way it must be known that our author in the said Preface doth shew himself a great disliker of the common way of the first studying of Physick in the Universities and seems also to run down University promotions or degrees calling them in derision the doctoral confederates the scholastic family of a fine breed who come to town with the learned Cushion Cap and Scarlet The Apothecaries boys are able to tutour them in Town-practice They vaunt and make a noise with their anatomical rattle spend much time in Anatomy neglect the chymical way c.

Elizabeths Raign that after this Court was taken away at the beginning of the late troubles thereby to satisfie the restless clamours of the Presbyterian party against it no body stood then empowered by lawful authority either to declare what was heresie or to punish any one proved to be this way obnoxious At this time he saith his Leviathan came forth for the writing of which he could not be deemed heretical And the reasons which moved him to compose and publish that book so much justly excepted against he there gives and then concludes So that 't is manifest he aimes and levels at this as his end in this narration viz. to vindicial himself from the imputation of disturbing the peace contrary to the known laws of the realm by his setting forth such monstrous and dangerous tenets and principles in his Leviathan He addeth also that at the first Parliament after the Kings restauration the Episcoparians and Presbyterians accused it of heresie and yet there was no law then which declared what it was The falsity of the said Historical narration of Heresie is shewn in a small treatise entit The Leviathan heretical or the charge exhibited in Parliament against Mr. Hobbes justified c. written by John Dowell Vicar of Melton-Mowbray in Leycestershire Oxon. 1683. in tw In which book p. 137 the author saith that Oliver gaining ths Protectorship was so pleased with many of his principles laid down in the Leviathan which tended to justifie and support his usurpation that the great place of being Secretary was profer'd to him Vita Thomae Hobbes Written by himself in prose and printed at Caropolis alias London before Vitae Hobbianae auctarium an 1681. oct There again 1682. qu.

Alderman of Coventry Grandson to a younger Brother of the Davenports of Henbury in Cheshire was born in the antient City of Coventry in Warwickshire and in Grammar learning there educated At about 15 years of age he and his Brother John were sent to Merton College in the beginning of the year 1613 and became Pupils to Mr. Sam. Lane Fellow of that House They were only Batlers and took the Cooks Commons but the Warden Sir Henry Savile having received notice of them and their condition he dismiss'd them unless they would become Commoners But their Parents being unwilling John thereupon went to Magd. Hall and became afterwards a noted Puritan and at length an Independent but Christopher continued longer in the Coll. especially upon Sir Henries recess to Eaton but upon his return withdâew So that having spent about two years among the Mertonians he by the invitation of some Rom. Priest then living in or near Oxon went to Doway an 1615 where remaining for some time went to Ypres and entred into the Order of Franciscans among the Dutch there 7. Oct. 1617. Afterwards he returned to Doway and was entred into the House of the English Recollects there of the same order 18. Oct. 1618 which was then built for them and dedicated to S. Bonaventure the same year After he had ran a course there and had read for some time a Lecture he went into Spain and in an University there Salamanca I think he improved himself much in the supreme faculty Thence he returned to Doway where he read first Philosophy and afterwards became chief Reader of Divinity in the said Coll. of S. Bonaventure and in fine was made Doctor of Divinity of his order but not of any University At length he became a Missionary in England where he went by the name of Franciscus à Sancta Clara and at length was made one of the Chaplains to Henrietta Maria the Royal Consort of K. Ch. the first and became highly honored of all of his profession and of many Scholars too whether Protestants or Papists for his great learning After his settlement in England where he continued going and coming more than 50 years he did very great service for the R.

Johns Coll. in Cambridge which house he leaving and his religion too about 1640 entred himself into the Society of Lincolns Inn with intentions to follow the municipal Laws but the Rebellion breaking out soon after he was driven thence It is to be noted by the way that this Austen being a man of good parts and much in esteem with the R. Catholicks he did write and publish several books that is to say besides the three parts of The Christian Moderator which he put out under the name of W. Birchley 1 Two vol. of Devotions after the old way printed in octavo and afterwards reprinted in 1672 with a preface to them written by Joh.

Ebbes Church to which the mansion of the Franciscans or Grey Friers sometimes joyned and in which several of the Brethren were antiently interred particularly by those of his old friend Joh.

Apr. 1648 educated in Grammar learning in the Free-school at Burford under a noted Master called John Martin became a Nobleman of Wadham Coll. under the tuition of Phineas Bury Fellow and inspection of Mr. Blandford the Warden an 1659 actually created Master of Arts in Convocation with several other noble persons an 1661 at which time he and none else was admitted very affectionately into the fraternity by a kiss on the left cheek from the Chancellour of the University Clarendon who then sate in the supreme chair to honour that Assembly Afterwards he travelled into France and Italy and at his return frequented the Court which not only debauched him but made him a perfect Hobbist and was at length made one of the Gentlemen of the Bed-chamber to his Majesty K. Ch. 2. and Controller of Wodstock Park in the place of Sir W. Fleetwood deceased He was a person of most rare parts and his natural talent was excellent much improved by learning and industry being throly acquainted with all classick Authors both Greek and Latine a thing very rare if not peculiar to him among those of his quality He knew also how to use them not as other Poets have done to transcribe and steal from but rather to better and improve them by his natural fancy But the eager tendency and violent impulses of his natural temper unhappily inclining him to the excesses of Pleasure and Mirth which with the wonderful pleasantness of his unimitable humour did so far engage the affections of the Dissolute towards him that to
make him delightfully ventrous and frollicksome to the utmost degrees of riotous extravagancy they for some years heightned his spirits enflamed by wine into one almost interrupted fit of wantonness and intemperance Some time before his death were several copies of his verses printed besides what went in MS. from hand to hand among which were A Satyr against mankind Printed in one sheet in fol. in June 1679. Answer'd in another sheet in the next month by one Mr. Griffith a Minister Andr. Marvell who was a good Judge of wit did use to say that Rochester was the only man in England that had the true vein of Satyr On nothing a Poem Printed on one side of a sheet of paper in 2 columes But notwithstanding the strict charge which the Earl of Rochester gave on his death bed to those persons in whose custody his papers were to burn all his prophane and rude Writings as being only fit to promote Vice and Immorality by which he had so highly offended the Omnipotent and sham'd and blasphem'd that holy Religion into which he had been baptized yet no sooner was his breath out of his body but some person or persons who had made a collection of most of his Poetry in Manuscript did meerly for lucre sake as 't was conceived publish them under this title Poems on several occasions Antwerp alias Lond. 1680. oct Among which as those before mention'd are numbred so many of his composure are omitted and there is no doubt but that other mens Poems are mixed among them They are full of obscenity and prophaneness and are more fit tho excellent in their kind to be read by Bedlamites than pretenders to vertue and modesty and what are not so are libellous and satyrical Among them is a Poem intit A Ramble in S. James's Park p. 14 which I guess is the same with that which is meant and challenged in the preface to the Poems of Alex. Radcliff of Greys Inn intit The Ramble an anti-heroick Poem together with some terrestial Hymns and carnal Ejaculations Lond. 1682. oct as the true composure of the said Radcliff but being falsly and imperfectly published under the Earl's name is said there to be enlarged two thirds above what it was when before in print The Reader is to know also that a most wretched and obcene and scandalously infamous Play not wholly compleated passed some hands privately in MS under the name of Sodom and fathered upon the Earl as most of this kind were right or wrong which came out at any time after he had once obtained the name of an excellent smooth but withall a most lewd Poet as the true author of it but if that copy of verses inserted among his printed Poems before mention'd in pag. 129. wrot upon the author of the Play call'd Sodom be really his then questionless the writing of this vile piece is not to be laid to his charge unless we should suppose him to have turned the keenness and sharpness of his piercing Satyr for such is this upon himself He hath also written A Letter to Dr. Gilb. Burnet written on his death bed Lond. 1680. in one sh in fol. And that he was the author of it the Doctor himself acknowledgeth in the History of some passages of the life and death of John Earl of Rochester About the same time also was published a sheet in fol. intit The two noble Converts or the Earl of Marlborough and the Earl of Rochester their dying Requests to the Atheists and Debauchees of this age but this was faigned and meerly written by a Scribler to get a little money In Nov. 1684 was a Play of Joh. Fletchers published intit Valentinian a Tragedy as 't is altered by the late Earl of Rochester and acted at the Theatre-Royal Lond. 1685. qu. To which is put by a nameless Writer a large Preface concerning the Author and his Writings wherein among too many things and highâflown surfeiting Encomiums that are by him given of the said Count is this For sure there has not lived in many ages if ever so extraordinary and I think I may add so useful a person as most English men know my Lord to have been whether we consider the constant good sense and the agreeable mirth of his ordinary conversation or the vast reach and compass of his invention and the wonderful depths of his retired thoughts the uncommon graces of his fashion or the inimitable turns of his wit the becoming gentleness the bewitching softness of his civility or the force and fitness of his Satyr for as he was both the delight and wonder of Man the love and the dotage of Women so he was a continual curb to impertinence and the publick censor of folly c. In another place he saith thus He had a wit that was accompanied with an unaffected greatness of mind and a natural love to justice and truth a wit that was in perpetual war with knavery and ever attacking those kind of vices most whose malignity was like to be most diffusive such as tended more immediately to the prejudice of publick bodies and were of a common nusance to the happiness of humane kind Never was his pen drawn but on the side of good sense and usually imployed like the Arms of the ancient Heroes to stop the progress of arbitrary oppression and beat down the bruitishness of head-strong will to do his K. and Country justice upon such publick State-Thieves as would beggar a Kingdom to enrich themselves c. To pass by other characters which the said Anonymus too too fondly mentions of the Count I shall proceed and tell you that he hath also written Poems c. on several occasions with Valentinian a Tragedy Lond. 1691. oct They were published in the latter end of Feb. 1690. but the large Preface before mention'd is there omitted These Poems which are different from those that came out in 1680 have before them an admirable Pastoral on the death of the Earl of Roch. in imitation of the Greek of Moschus made by Oldham and among them songs and letters as also 1 A copy of English verses made on the Kings return in a book intit Britannia rediviva printed at Oxon. under the name of the University 1660. qu. 2 A Lat. and English copy on the death of Mary Princess of Orange in another book of verses published under the name of the said University at Oxon. the same year in qu.

Kent and married Jane the Daughter of one Dr. Edw. Simson who being antient resign'd his living Pluckley I think to him and then took the degrees in Divinity in this University But he being much vex'd with factious Parishioners and Quakers left his Benefice and in the year 1657 he procured himself to be made Fellow of the new erected Coll. at Durham where being appointed one of them that should teach Grammar he followed precisely the Jesuits method and the boys under him did by that course profit exceedingly But that Coll. being dissolved in the beginning of 1660 or rather a little before he returned into the South parts setled at Islington near London and in a large Gallery in a house belonging to Sir Thomas Fisher he taught boys after an easie method too large now to tell you He had also there a little Academy for Girls to be taught Latine and Greek and as I have been informed one of them at 14 years of age could construe a Greek Gospel Afterwards this person who had a restless and freakish head went with Coll. E. Harley to Dunkirk and was there a Chaplain for some time Which place with the garrison being sold by the English he returned and that Colonel setled him in the Vicaridge of Lentwarden in Herefordshire But that being a poor thing he soon after left it and by the favour of the Bishop of London he obtained the cure of S. Mary Stayning in that City scarce worth 20 l. per an unless benevolence make it more Being setled there the grand conflagration hapned which burnt down his Church and Parish to the ground an 1666. So that being for the present destitute of a subsistance he went soon after in the quality of a Chaplain to the garrison of Tangier where remaining till the Church of S. Michael in Woodstreet was rebuilt and the Parish of S. Mary united with it he was sent for home and made Rector of that Church which with a Lecture elsewhere he kept to his dying day He was a person very well vers'd in Lat. Gr. and Poetry and always took a very great delight to instruct youth He understood Chronology well and spent much time and money in the art of Alchimy He was a person cynical and hersute shiftles in the world yet absolutely free from covetousness and I dare say from pride But above all that he is to be remembred for is that he was the first discoverer to his Majesty of that Plot commonly called the Popish Plot and by many Oates his Plot about the 25. of Sept. 1678 having a little before been told of it by Titus Oates who conferr'd together what to do in that matter He hath written A short compendium of Grammar Printed in two sheets at most in oct Noun Substantives the names of things declare And Adjectives what kind of things those are c.

Colledge who kept him in his house had much ado with him and had been at great charge to keep him in order for the carrying on of the cause then in hand on the eighteenth day of December in sixteen hundred and eighty and was on the 23 of the same month conveyed by a numerous train most of them of the godly party from Scotch-Hall in the Black Friers to St. Michaels Church in Woodstreet within the City of London where his funeral Sermon was preached by Thom. Jones sometimes of University Coll. in Oxon and therein highly characterized Afterwards the body was reposed in the Vault of the Churchyard of S. Mary Stayning before mentioned He the said Dr. Tongue left behind him at his death two written folio's touching Alchymy which was the art wherein he was most excellent and took delight besides certain MSS. of his composition concerning Divinity which he wrot at Durham and elsewhere but whether fit for the Press I know not Some time before his death he invented among other things the way of teaching Children to write a good hand in twenty days time after the rate of 4 hours in a day by writing over with black ink copies printed from copper Plates in red Inke After his death R. Moray Projector of the Penny-Post did cause to be engraven several Plates and then to be printed off with red ink by which means boys
followed the Court from Newcastle and having received satisfaction concerning their sobriety and education he was willing to receive them as Grooms of his Bedchamber to wait upon his person with Mr. Maule and Mr. Maxwell which the Commissioners approving they were that night admitted and by his Majesty instructed as to the duty and service he expected from them So as they thenceforth attended his Royal Person agreeable to that great trust with due observance and loyalty and were by Maule and Maxwel affectionately treated Being thus setled in that honorable office and in good esteem with his Maj. Mr. Herb. continued with him when all the rest of the Chamber were removed till his Majesty was to the horror of all the world brought to the block It was then that Mr. Herbert was fully satisfied that the King was not the Man that the Presbyterians Independents and other factious people who obtained their ends by lies and slanders made him to be He clearly found that he was no Papist no obstinate Person no cruel or bloody Man no false dealer c. but purely a man of God which made him in an high manner lament his untimely death His Majesty tho he found him to be Presbyterianly affected yet withal he found him very observant and loving and therefore entrusted him with many matters of moment among which was his sending by him from the Isle of Wight his gracious Message to the Parliament which in the evening he gave it sealed up to him directed to the Speaker of the Lords House with a Letter to his Daughter the Princess Elizabeth who was then at S. James's with her Governess The wind was then averse and much ado Mr. Herbert had to cross the Sea But no delay was suffer'd in regard the King had commanded him to hasten away that his Letters might be delivered next day before the Lords rose When he was Landed at S. Hampton he took post and it may not be forgotten that at one stage the Postmaster a malevolent person understanding from whom the pacquet came and that it required extraordinary speed he mounted him upon an horse that had neither good eyes or feet so as usually he stumbled much which with deep ways and dark weather would have abated his hast and endanger the Rider Yet so it fell out by good providence that the horse albeit at full Gallop most of that 12 miles riding neither stumbled nor fell at which the People at the next stage admired The Kings pacquet was within the time limited delivered to William Lord Grey of Werk at that time Speaker Which done Mr. Herbert waited on the young Princess at S. James's who gave him her hand to kiss and was overjoyed with his Majesties kind Letter to which her Highness the next day returned an answer by the said Mr. Herbert who at his arrival at Carisbroke had the Kings thanks for his diligence And for a badge of the fair esteem that K. Ch. 2. had of him for faithfully serving his royal Father during the two last years of his life he did after his restauration by Lett. Pat. dat 3.

Ch. 1. the Martyr which he entit Threnodia Carolina written by him an 1678. in qu. on this account viz. that the Parliament a little before taking into their consideration of appointing 70 thousand pounds for the funeral of the said King and for a monument to be erected over his grave Sir Will. Dugdale then Garter King of Armes sent to our author Sir Thomas living at York to know of him whether ever the said King spoke in his hearing where he would have his body bestowed in burial to which Sir Tho. returning a large answer with many observations and things worthy of note concerning that King Sir William thereupon being much taken with it as containing many things which he never heard of before did desire him by another Letter to write a Treatise of the actions and sayings of the said King from his first confinement to his death which he did accordingly About the same time the author of this book having occasion to write to Sir Thomas for information of certain persons then or about that time attending the King he thereupon sent him several Letters in answer to his Queries with divers other matters by way of digression which Letters contain as it seems the chief contents of Thren Car. and are several times quoted in this work He also assisted the said Sir Will. Dugdale in his compiling the third vol. of Monast Anglic. as I shall tell you when I come to speak of that Knight in the Fasti an 1642. At length this worthy person Sir Thomas Herbert who was a great observer of men and things in his time died in his house at York on the first day of March S.

came out in which he reflected on the falseness of it as 't was also in a smart and ingenious answer to it pen'd by John Northleigh of Exeter Coll. Besides also I conceive that scarcely any body besides Shaftesbury would have adventured on such insolent and bold arraignments of some chief Ministers of State not sparing the Government it self He also made the little short Speech intit The Earl of Essex's Speech at the delivery of the petition to the King 25. of Jan. 1680 which petition was that the King would change his mind from the setting of the Parl. at Oxon to be at Westminster Answer'd in a letter sent to him by Anon. in half a sh in fol. as big as the speech and petition He was also deeply supposed to have written A vindication of the Association which was seized on in the hands of his servant Stringer as he was going to the Press with it in the beginning of Dec. 1682 who being examined about it confessed that it was written by Rob. Ferguson a Nonconformist Minister author of as he added The second part of the growth of Popery Whereupon soon after a Messenger was sent to Brill in Holland to demand the body of him the said Ferguson and of Shaftesbury but the States refused so to do as the common Letters dat 13 January following told us Much about the same time I was informed by Letters also that since the said Earls retirement to Amsterdam he printed and published a book there in which he endeavoured to free himself from all cause of Jealousie and aspersions cast on him upon which a back friend of his immediatly dispers'd a satyrical reply in opposition thereunto Which coming early to his Lordships hands he printed a second book justifying the validity of the first but he did so much confound himself therein that the States had then a jealousie that he came among them for some other intent than barely his Majesties displeasure with him At length dying at Amsterdam of the Gout on the 21. of January in sixteen hundred eighty and two his body was conveyed into England and buried at Wimbourne S. Giles in Dorsetshire beforemention'd What Epitaph there is over his grave I know not and therefore in its place take this character of him given by a most ingenious author For close designs and crooked counsels fit Sagacious bold and turbulent of wit Restless unfixt in principles and place In power unpleas'd impatient of disgrace c. In friendship false implacable in hate Resolv'd to ruin or to rule the State c. Before his death came out several Pamphlets in vindication of him but very partially written by his admirers At the time of his death or thereabouts was published The compleat Statesman demonstrated in the life actions and politicks of that great Minister of State Anth.

Hunt was born in the City of Worcester an 1611 became a Student in Pembr Coll. 1628 Master of Arts in 1636 but whether ever Bach. of that faculty it appears not and therefore Hen. instead of Tho. Hunt in the Fasti 1630 among the Bachelaurs is to be taken away Afterwards he went into the Country and taught a private School then to London and taught in the Church of S. Dunstan in the East and at length being preferred to the Mastership of the Free-school of S.

Hunt who tho no Oxford man by education yet having been famous in his generation among certain schismatical persons for several things that he hath written and published I shall therefore give you these brief memoirs of him viz. That he was born in London in the Augustine Friers as I conceive near the Old Exchange was first Scholar then Fellow and Master of Arts of Queens Coll. in Cambridge where he was esteemed a person of quick parts and of a ready fluence in discourse but withall too pert and forward Thence he went to Greys Inn where before he had been entred a Student and making proficiency in the municipal Laws was made Barrister was had in repute for his practice and acknowledged by most persons to be a good Lawyer In 1659 he became Clerk of the Assizes of Oxford Circuit but ejected from that office at his Majesties restauration to his great loss to make room for the true owner Afterwards he lived and followed his profession at Banbury in Oxfordshire was Steward for a time to part of the Duke of Buckinghams Estate and afterwards to the Duke of Norfolk c.

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.

Hillary in the Isle of Jersey was born there entred a Student in Merton Coll. in the latter end of the year 1640 aged 15 years having then a chamber in S. 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

Stillingfleet in which he endeavours barely to excuse Catholick religion against the opposition of several Adversaries It is briefly animadverted on by the said Mr. Stillingfleet in a Postscript to his reply to Mr. Joh. Sargeants Third Appendix which reply is placed as an Appendix at the end of Mr. Joh. Tillotsons book called The rule of faith He also wrot An account of Dr. Stillingfleets late book against the
talking about these Papers that I find him not a little angry with Dr. Joh. Hinckley barely for being so bold and daring as to pretend to write somthing relating to them for he himself saying that he believed no man then viz. 1671. living could give an account of them besides himself he judged questionless that the Doctor herein had too rudely invaded his sole Province Yet notwithstanding this together with a great deal of talk about their Sentiments and reception of his Majesties Declaration about Ecclesiastical affairs the reduction and model of Episcopacy made by the learned Usher Primate of Ireland and that other of Dr. Hall Bishop of Norwych subscribed to by Dr. Rich. Holdesworth either of which they would as he saith have willingly allowed of he with a great deal of confidence repeated in the preliminary introductions to most of his very many late most bitter pieces against the Church as if he could not otherwise by any means begin a treatise unless these hughly beloved relations did kindly usher the following very uneven unconcocted roving often repeated and medley stuff will hardly perswade us to believe that he hath been so little conversant with books especially such as have been wrot against his own party and himself as not to have very well known that Roger L'estrange in a book of his entit The relapsed Apostate c. published not long after those three Papers above mention'd had fully and at large answered his Petition for peace animadverted on many parts of the reformed Liturgy and that moreover he had in a Supplement to his Relapsed Apost refuted the Two papers of proposals concerning the Discipline and Ceremonies of the Church together with a single sheet in form of petition to his Majesty and that the Papers compriz'd in The great debate c. were briefly also touched and reflected on in the same Supplement c.

Lond. 1662. qu. and the other Concerning Lent-Fast had been wrot against some single parts occurring in those three Papers above mention'd as also that L'estrange had said somthing against their Liturgy and that he had no more to say this last in his answer to a Letter of Dr. Hinckley yet mentions nothing even there of L'estranges answers to any of their other Papers But all this being spoken by the way lets now return to our author Morley and his other writings Epistola apologetica paraenetica ad Theologum quendam Belgam scripta Lond. 1663. in two sh and an half in qu written at Breda 7. Jun. 1659. This came out again with several of our authors treatises which I shall anon mention under this title Epistola ad virum clariss D.

The author of this as writing to a Protestant who was a favourer of his Masters interest and with whom he had before held some correspondence by Letters fully clears K. Ch. 2. from all the least ground of suspicion of his enclining to Popery throughout his whole time of exile contrary to what some English men had reported either thro ignorance or hatred and which was by an easie credulity too greedily entertain'd by some foreigners After this he vehemently presseth the Dutch as desiring that this his Epistle might be communicated to other Dutchmen of the like perswasion with the person to whom it was immediatly directed with strong reasons drawn from the several perswasive heads vigorously to employ their speedy and utmost endeavours to restore his Majesty to his lawful throne and just rights The Summe of a short conference betwixt Fath.

Jam. 1. an 1625 which was afterwards printed at the end of Dr. John Spotswood's Church Hist of Scotland At length after this most worthy and pious Bishop had
his Maj. K. Ch. 2 in his exile was by him sent Ambassador to the Grand Seignior at Constantinople and demanding audience in his name he was by bribes given delivered to some of the English Merchants there who shipping him in the Smyrna Fleet was conveyed into England Soon after he being committed to the Tower of London he was brought before the High Court of Justice where he desired to plead in the Italian Language which he said was more common to him than the English But it being denied him he was at length condemned to die whereupon he lost his head on a Scaffold erected against the Old Exchange in Cornhill on the fourth day of March an 1650. It was then said by the faction in England that he did by vertue of a Commission from Charles Stuart as K. of Great Britaine act in the quality of an Agent to the Court of the Great Turk with intent to destroy the trade of the Turkey Company and the Parliaments interest not only in Constantinople but also in Mitylene Anatolia and Smyrna That also he had a Commission to be Consul in that matter with an aim likewise to seize upon the Merchants goods for the use of Charles King of Scots For the effecting of which design he presumed to discharge Sir Tho. Bendish of his Embassie being Leiger there for the state of England c. The said faction also reported and would needs perswade the People in England that those that abetted Sir H. Hyde at Smyrna had the heavy hand of judgment fell upon them This Sir Hen. Hyde after his decollation was conveyed to Salisbury and buried there in the Cathedral among the graves of his Relations Another Brother younger than him was Edward Hyde D. D sometimes Fellow of Trin. Coll. in Cambridge and afterwards Rector of Brightwell near Wallingford in Berkshire From which being ejected in the time of Usurpation he retired with his Wife and Children to Oxon and hiring an apartment within the precincts of Hart Hall lived there several years studied frequently in Bodlies Library and preached in the Church of Halywell in the suburbs of Oxon to the Royal Party till he was silenc'd by the Faction In 1658 he obtained of his exil'd Majesty by the endeavours of Sir Edw. Hyde before mention'd his kinsman then tho in banishment Lord Chancellour of England Letters Patents for the Deanery of Windsore in the place of Dr. Chr. Wren deceased dated in July the same year but he dying at Salisbury of the Stone a little before the restauration of K.

in a solemn chapter held by the Soveraign and certain of the Knights Companions of that most noble Order in the red room at Whitehall which Oath was administred to him by Seth Bishop of Salisbury Chancellour of the Garter one of the Officers of that order then kneeling on his Majesties left hand As to the exercise of his office of Norroy when he was Provincial K. of Armes for the northern parts of this Realm the books of his visitation of the several Counties under his charge remaining in the Coll. of Armes will sufficiently manifest his care therein as by taking exact notice of all collaterals viz. Uncles Aunts Brothers and Sisters in the descents there drawn Also by publickly disclaiming all such as did take upon them the titles of Esquire or Gentlemen without just right and truly registring the Armes of all such as could shew any justifiable right thereto His care also was manifested in defacing such Tablets of Armes as he found in any publick places which were fictitious and by pulling down several Atchievments commonly called Hatchments irregularly and against the law of Armes hung up in any Churches or Chappels within the precincts of his Province the particulars whereof are expressed in that large book in the Office or Coll. of Armes covered with russet leather and called the Earl Marshalls book Further also to vindicate the just rights of his said office he commenced a sute at the common law against one Randal Holme a Painter of the City of Chester who had boldly invaded the office of him the said Norroy by preparing Atchievments for the funeral of Sir Ralph Ashton of Middleton in the County of Lancaster Kt and giving directions for a formal proceeding at the solemnity thereof whereupon he had a verdict against him the said Holme at the general Assizes held at Stafford in March an 1667 and recovered good damages with costs of suit The titles of such books touched on before which are published under Sir Will.

Johns Coll. there a Fellowship in that foundation From which Fellowship which still makes more for his honour he was unjustly ejected by a pack of Parricides who notwithstanding regardless of the rage of those bloody times or his own blood-spitting malady equally pernicious boldly attempted and successfully managed matters of the greatest difficulty and danger in the behalf of the King and Church And for that cause was shut up in a dire and loathsome prison where he suffered inhumane and barbarous usage yet with a constant and undaunted spirit And in the end he saw by the miracle as it were of a new creation the revisal of both Crown and Mitre himself playing the Man-midwives part and vigorously assisting at the new birth of both Last of all for his active services and passive sufferings he was

Col. Cobbet before mention'd came and acquainted his Majesty with the orders he had received for his remove thence to Windsore Castle forthwith The King told him he was more kind at that time than he was at Newport when he would not gratifie him or any other the knowledge of the place he was to go to Windsore was the place he ever delighted in and 't would make amends for what at Hurst he had suffer'd All things in short time being made ready he bad solitary Hurst adieu and having pass'd the narrow passage before mention'd which reaches well nigh from Hurst to Milford three long miles there appeared a party of Horse belonging to the Army who had then their Winter quarter at Lindhorsh and were ordered to convoy the King to Winchester but going first to Ringwood then through the New Forest to Rumsey went thence to the said City At his entrance therein the Mayor and Aldermen of the City did notwithstanding the times receive the King with dutiful respect and the Clergy did the like During his short stay there the Gentry and others of inferiour rank flock'd thither in great numbers to welcome his Majesty and out of zeal to pray for his enlargement and happiness with which the King was much satisfied and was pleased to give his hand to many of them to kiss Thence his Majesty rode to Alton and so to Alresford while the Inhabitants round about made hast to see his Majesty pass by and to pour forth their prayers for his preservation From thence he went to Farnham 'twixt which two Towns Major Harrison met him with a party of Horse to convey him to Windsore See more before in Thomas Harrison among these creations Bach of Phys May 19.
