such materials I have lying by me in every one of which I find his hand writing either in interlining adding or correcting and one of those four which is entituled Collectaneorum lib. secundus is mostly written by him collected from Parliament Rolls the Paper Office at Whitehall Vicar Generals Office books belonging to the Clerks of the Councill Mss in Cottons Library Books of Convocations of the Clergy c. printed Authors c. And there is no doubt that as he had an especial hand in composing the said Life of K. Hen. 8. which as some say he turned mostly into Latine but never printed so had he a hand in latinizing that Lords book De veritate or others At length being overtaken by a malignant feaver the same which I have mention'd in Dud. Digges and Will. Cartwright died thereof to the great reluctancy of those that well knew him in the Winter time either in Dec. or Jan. in sixteen hundred forty and three and was buried in the north part of the outer Chappel belonging to New Coll. His Epitaph is written in Latine by the said L. Herbert in his Occasional Verses p. 94. who hath also written a lat Poem in praise of his Mensa lubrica which may be there also seen But the said Epitaph must not be understood to have ever been put over his grave WILLIAM CHILLINGWORTH son of Will. Chill Citizen afterwards Mayor of Oxford was born in S. Martins Parish there in a little house on the north side of the conduit at Quatervois in Octob. 1602 and on the last of that month received baptism there After he had been educated in Grammar learning under Edw. Sylvester a noted Latinist and Greecian who taught privately in Allsaints Parish or in the Free school joyning to Magd. Coll. or in both he became scholar of Trin. Coll. under the tuition of Mr. Rob. Skinner on the second of June 1618 being then about two years standing in the University and going thro with ease the Classes of Logic and Philosophy was adm M. of A. in the latter end of 1623 and Fellow of the said Coll. 10 June 1628. He was then observed to be no drudg at his study but being a man of great parts would do much in a little time when he setled to it He would often walk in the College grove and contemplate but when he met with any scholar there he would enter into discourse and dispute with him purposely to facilitate and make the way of wrangling common with him which was a fashion used in those days especially among the disputing Theologists or among those that set themselves apart purposely for Divinity But upon the change of the times occasion'd by the Puritan that way forsooth was accounted boyish and pedagogical to the detriment in some respects of learning About the same time being much unsetled in his thoughts he became acquainted with one who went by the name of Joh. Fisher a learned Jesuit and sophistical Disputant who was often conversant in these parts At length by his perswasions and the satisfaction of some doubts which he could not find among our great men at home he went to the Jesuits Coll. at S. Omer forsook his Religion and by these motives following which he left among them under his own hand became a Rom. Catholick First because perpetual visible profession which could never be wanting to the Religion of Christ nor any part of it is apparently wanting to Protestant Religion so far as concern the points in contestation 2 Because Luther and his followers separating from the Church of Rome separated also from all Churches pure or impure true or untrue then being in the World upon which ground I conclude that either Gods promises did fail of performance if there were then no Church in the world which held all things necessary and nothing repugnant to salvation or else that Luther and his Sectaries separating from all Churches then in the world and so from the true if there were any true were damnable Schismaticks 3 Because if any credit might be given to as creditable Records as any are extant the doctrine of Catholiques hath been frequently confirmed and the opposite doctrine of Protestants confounded with supernatural and divine miracles 4 Because many points of protestant Doctrine are the damned opinions of Hereticks condemned by the primitive Church 5 Because the prophecies of the Old Test touching the conversion of Kings and Nations to the true Religion of Christ have been accomplished in and by the Catholique Rom. Religion and the Professours of it 6 Because the doctrine of the Church of Rome is conformable and the doctrine of the Protestants contrary to the doctrine of the Fathers of the primitive Church even by the confession of Protestants themselves I mean those Fathers who lived within the compass of the first 600 years to whom Protestants themselves do very frequently and confidently appeal 7 Because the first pretended Reformers had neither extraordinary commission from God nor ordinary mission from the Church to preach protestant doctrine 8 Because Luther to preach against the mass which contains the most material points now in controversie was perswaded by reasons suggested to him by the Devil himself disputing with him So himself professeth in his book De missa privata that all men might take heed of following him who professeth himself to follow the Devil 9 Because the protestant Cause is now and hath been from the beginning maintained with gross falsifications and calumnies whereof their prime controversie writers are notoriously and in high degree guilty 10 Because by denying all humane Authority either of Pope or Councils or Church to determine controversies of Faith they have abolished all possible means of suppressing heresie or restoring unity to the Church These were his motives as my Author tells me who adds that they were so strong that he Chillingw could never since frame his mind to Protestancy And the profession of Catholique Religion not suting with his desires and designs he fell upon Socinianism that is no Religion c. To these motives which are owned and reprinted by Mr. Chillingworth he made an Answer three years or better before the first edition of his book called The Religion of Protestants c. came out Which answer was not published for two reasons one because the motives were never publick until the author of The direction to N. N. made them so The other because he was loth to proclaim to all the world so much weakness as he shew'd in suffering himself to be abused by such silly sophismes All which proceeded upon mistakes and false suppositions which unadvisedly he took for granted as 't will quickly appear when the motives with his respective answers made to them and printed shall be impartially weighed in the ballance against each other Tho Mr. Chillingworth embraced Protestantism very sincerely as it seems when he wrot his book of The Religion of Protestants c. yet

Witchcraft vindicated Lond. 1670. oct written by R.T. and reflections made on it by Dr. Casaubon in his book of Credulity and Incredulity our Author Wagstaffe came out with a second edition and additions therein Lond. 1671. oct For the writing of which book he was also laughed at by wags of this University because as they said he himself look'd like a little Wizard It was also frequently reported that he was Author of a libellous Pamphlet intit Sundry things from several hands concerning the University of Oxford viz. 1 A petition from some well affected therein 2 A model for a Colledge reformation 3 Queries concerning the said University and several persons therein Lond. 1659 in one sheet and half in qu. But I think to the contrary that he was not the Author but rather one of the Students of Ch. Ch. that sedulously endeavoured to lay it at the door of Wagstaffe who dying in his Lodgings opposite to the end of Chancery-lane in Holbourn on the second day of Septemb. in sixteen hundred seventy and seven aged 44 or thereabouts was buried in Guildhall Chappel within the City of London under the Seats on the left hand as you enter into that Chappel This person died in a manner distracted occasion'd by a deep conceit of his own parts and by a continual bibbing of strong and high tasted Liquors WILLIAM SQUIRE or Esquire whose Father was a Proctor in the Archbishops Court at York was born in Yorkshire entred a Student in Trin. Hall in Cambridge an 1647 took the degree of Bach. of Arts in that University 1650. went thence to Oxon for preferment and entring himself a Batler in Brasn Coll. was incorporated in this University in the same degree in 1652. Soon after obtaining a Chaplainship in All 's Coll and taking the degree of Master of Arts he was elected Fellow of Univ. Coll where continuing for some time after his Majesties Restauration was by the favour of Dr. Sheldon B. of London promoted to the Rectory of Raulaston or Rolleston in Derbyshire near Burton upon Trent in Staffordshire Afterwards being sensible of the increase of Popery in the Nation he published these two books The unreasonableness of the Romanists requiring our Communion with the present Romish Church or a discourse drawne from the perplexity and uncertainty of the Principles and from the contradictions betwixt the Prayers and Doctrine of the present Romish Church to prove that it is unreasonable to require us to joyne in Communion with it Lond. 1672. oct Some more considerations proving the unreasonableness of the Romanists in requiring us to return to the Communion of the present Romish Church Lond. 1674. in oct He died at Raulaston before mentioned in the beginning of September in sixteen hundred seventy and seven and was buried in the chancel of the Church there under a black marble stone which had been laid over the grave of one of his Predecessors on the fourth day of the same month In his Rectory succeeded Tho. Wickham Mast of Arts of Trin. Coll. in Oxon. JAMES HARRINGTON Esq was born at Upton in Northamptonshire on the first Friday in January an 1611 became Gent. Commoner of Trin. Coll. in 1629 left it before he took a degree travelled into France Germany and Italy learned the Languages of those Countries returned an accomplish'd Gentleman and afterwards for some years waited upon the Prince Elector Palatine in his Chamber In the beginning of the Civil War 1642 he sided with the Presbyterians and endeavoured to get into the H. of Commons to sit as a member there but could not In January 1646 he went as a Volunteire with the Commissioners appointed by Parliament to go to the King at Newcastle to treat for a Peace and Settlement and bring him nearer to London In the month of May 1647 he with Thom. Herbert were admitted Grooms of the Bed-chamber to the said King then at Holdenbie in Northamptonshire upon the dismissing first of some of his old Servants and secondly upon the desire of the Commissioners they being ordered so to do by the Parliament His Majesty it seems had taken notice that those two persons had followed the Court since his coming from Newcastle and being satisfied with the report he had received concerning them as to their sobriety and good education was willing to receive them into his service to wait upon his person in his Bed-chamber with Mr. Jam. Maxwell and Mr. Patrick Maule afterwards Earl of Penmaure in Scotland who were then the only persons of the Bed-chamber that were remaining While our Author Harrington was in this capacity his Maj. loved his company and did choose rather finding him to be an ingenious man to discourse with him than with others of the chamber They had often discourses concerning Government but when they hapned to talk of a Commonwealth the K. seemed not to endure it At that time it was that Harrington finding his Maj. quite another person as to his parts religion morals c. than what were represented by the faction who gained their ends by lyes and scandals he became passionately affected with and took all occasions to vindicate him in what company soever he hapned to be but then again it being sometimes imprudently done he did suffer for it in those captious times as by this story 't will appear His Majesty being hurried away from Holdenby to the Head-quarters of the Army and from thence conveyed by slow paces to Hampton Court and thence jugled into the Isle of Wight where he treated with the Commissioners of Parliament for peace and from Newport there hurried away by Lieut. Coll. Ralph Cobbet to Hurst Castle in Hampshire on the last of Nov. 1648 it hapned that Harrington who was then with his Maj. as one of the Grooms of the Chamber did one morning fall into discourse with the Governour of that Castle and some other Officers of the Parl. Army concerning the late Treaty at Newport wherein he magnified the Kings wisdom in his arguments with the Commissioners upon the propositions for Peace and Satisfaction the Parliament had in his concessions and probability in a happy event if this force in removing him to Hurst Castle had not interven'd and made an unhappy fracture which created parties enlarging also upon his Majesties learned disputes with Mr. Rich. Vines and other Presbyterian Divines with such moderation as gained applause from all those that heard him argue Which discourse how inoffensive soever and without exception at any other time or place truth is not at all times seasonable nor safe to be spoken as by our Authors example was evidenced For those captious persons with whom he held discourse being full of jealousie and apt to wrest his words to the worst sense they withdrew a little and at their return they told him plainly they were dissatisfied with what he had said He desired them to instance wherein they replied in all particulars which when he began to repeat for his own satisfaction

rest was to apply himself to God by Prayer to require his immediate direction and guidance After many of these religious Consults during the continuance of their being dissatisfied two persons professing themselves Anabaptists retired to Lydde and under the title of Messengers of God desired of our Author the libe●ty of using his Pulpit the next Lords day wh●ch motion he seemed very inclinable to grant but the Church-Wardens strictly forbad it Whereupon the said Anabaptists on the Saturday following preached by turns in the open Market-place amongst a great concourse of people wherein our Author had placed himself so near as to have the conveniency of hearing their several Harangues In the conclusion our Author desired a conference with them and after some debate he publickly disowned his former Tenents revolted from the Ch. of England and was immediately re-baptized positively affirming that this opportunity was the return which God had made to his foregoing Fasts and Prayers and with this plausible pretence he gained several Proselites renounced his Cure and zealously propagated his opinions as well by keeping a constant Conventicle as by publick Challenges and Disputes with several of the neighbouring Ministers and writing several controversial Pamphlets all reprinted in fol. as I shall anon tell you About 8 or 9 years after his Apostacy he turned a very zealous Quaker and in the company of one of that Sect he undertook a Voyage to Rome whether under pretence of converting the Pope I cannot say it Upon their return thence about 1658 his companion was in a very poor miserable condition but our Author in a very gentile Equipage having been as 't was credibly supposed in Kent made in his absence a Rom. Priest In the year following he as a Quaker held a publick disputation at Sandwich with Mr. Tho. Danson as I shall tell you anon wherein several Proposals being made to him about his Religion he first denied not that he had been at Rome but that he received a pension from the Pope he utterly denied which then as 't was said was very probable if not true for it was reported from very good hands that in his late Travels to Constantinople and thence to Rome he had as good bills of Exchange as most Gentlemen that travel and yet it was well known then that he had no visible Estate and the Quakers that came to the Dispute did report that he did bear his witness against the Pope and Cardinals of Rome and yet they suffered him not to be medled with c. Secondly it was sworn by sufficient and credible men of Sandwich that had some discourse with him at Dunkirk that he told them that he looked upon the Jesuits and Friers there to be sounder in Doctrine than those we call the Reformed Churches And thirdly that on the first day of the Dispute he made very light of the charge of Popery against him when Amesius against Bellarmine was produced and with a gesture of derision he replied that Bellarmine held many truths which must not be rejected because he held them c. As for the books which he published the titles of them follow but the respective years when they were published I know not Anti-diabolisme or the true account of a true Counterfeit One word yet to the Disputers and Scribes of the Ashford disputation or an Epilogetical Postscript on the Apologetical Preface Anti-babism or the Babish disputation at Ashford for Baby-baptisme disproved The second part of Anti●babisme or a Review of their Review Anti-rantism or Christ'ndom unchristn'd Anti-sacerdotism Sacerdotale delirium diliatum The dotage of the Priests discovered Or a new Edition with no small addition in way of emendation c of the third part of that treble Treatise which is extant about the Ashford Disputation intit A pathetical exhortation to the Pastors to oppose the growth of Anabaptisme c. All which things being reprinted in fol. had this title set before them Christianismus redivivus Christ'ndom both unchristned and new-christned or that good old way of dipping and in Churching of Men and Women after faith and repentance professed commonly but not properly called Anabaptism vindicated from that two-edged sword of the Spirit the word of God from all kind of calumnies that are cast upon it c. Lond. 1655. fol. Rusticus ad Academicos in exercitationibus expostulatoriis Apologeticis quatuor The Rusticks alarum to the Rabbines or the Country correcting the University and Clergy and not without good cause contesting for the truth against the nursing mothers and their children In four Apologetical and expostulatory Exercitations Wherein is contained as well a general account of all Enquirers as a general Answer to all opposers of the most truly catholick and most truly Christ-like Christians called Quakers and of the true Divinity of their Doctrine By way of entire entercourse held in special with four of the Clergies Chieftains John Owen D.

Lond. 1664. oct 3d. edit Published by the said Tho. Danson sometimes fellow of Magd. Coll. Baptisme before or after faith and repentance Lond. 1669. fol. The same I suppose for I have not yet seen it with the folio before mention'd Christianismus redivivus c only the title alter'd What else he or others under his name have published I know not nor any thing else of him save only that after his Majesties restoration he lived obscurely in London kept Conventicles and thereupon was imprison'd in Newgate and was accounted the Corypheus of the Quakers At length being at liberty he retired to a village called Dalston in the Parish of Hackney in the County of Middlesex where he died of the plague as 't was said in Sept. or Octob. in sixteen hundred sixty and five This Person in his Disputes did always decline a direct answer to the question what University he was of which gave some of the neighbouring Ministers in Kent occasion to suspect that the said Fisher was bred in some forreign Popish University and the rather because he would often plead for popish Tenents tho when pressed to tell whether he did really believe them he would pretend he did it disputandi gratiâ to hold an argument for discourse sake One or two of both his names have published several matters and therefore they are to be remembred elsewhere FRANCIS CHEYNELL son of John Cheynell Doct. of Phys sometimes Fellow of C.

In this book as in some other of his works he doth strangely affect in ambiguous and uncouth words canting mystical and unintelligible phrases to obscure sometimes the plainest and most obvious truths And at other times he endeavours by such a mist and cloud of sensless terms to draw a kind of vail over the most erroneous doctrines But against this book came out another long after written by Dr. Will.
