King of London and Brother to Bishop H. King of Chichester whom good nature made a most facetious Companion a quaint Orator and Poet and an excellent Christian being not of those mens Religion who as the Poet told his Mistress had so much Divinity that they had no Humanity take Christianity for a Meek Charitable Peaceable and a good natured Religion sequestred from his Rectory at Botolph Billings-gate his Prebend of St. Pauls and Arch-Deaconry of Lewis and forced to fly to save his Life and when he had nothing to lose but his life he dyed 1666. Mr. Hansley preferred Chaplain to Bishop Iuxon upon a Rehearsal Sermon he Preached at St. Pauls Archdeacon of Colchester Minister of St. Christophers London and Albury in Surrey forced away through the harmless picture of good nature even because he was not spirited for the Cause as they told him He died 1666. in the Hundreds of Essex where only he could safely because there he died daily To whom I may joyn his very image honest Mr. Humes of St. Dyonis-Backchurch who was turned out as one said because they suspected his learning would not comply with their ignorant courses nor his meekness and moderation with their disobedience whose great Preface-word to his Sermons was Hear with meekness and humility the Word of God c. Well beloved for his holy Ventriloquy I mean his speaking from the heart to the heart and respected for that he dwelled not in Generalities in his Sermons but drew his discourses into particular Cases of Conscience wherein he determined the just points of their liberty what they might lawfully do to keep them from Negative Superstition and of their restraint what they might not lawfully do to keep them from boundless licentiousness Pertinent in his Quotations of Scripture in his Preaching because the Hearers might profitably retain all he Quoted and he seriously peruse them Reasons were the Pillars of his Sermons and his apt but grave Similies and Illustrations the Windows that gave the best light Mr. Sam. Stone of St. Clement East-cheap and St. Mary Abchurch Prebend of St. Pauls Sequestred Plundered and because he had a shrewd faculty in discovering to the people the fallacies the holy cheat was carried on with witness his excellent Sermon on Prov. 14. 8. The folly of fools is deceit imprisoned at Plimouth whence his letters sent to encourage his friends were those of St. Pauls very powerful though his bodily presence was weak He died 1665. Mr. Iohn Squire Vicar of St. Leonard Shoreditch for asserting Prayers more necessary than Sermons in the Sickness time for writing himself Priest which was no more as he would pleasantly observe than the contraction of the word Presbyter for spending so much time as he did much in Preaching a Rationale upon the Common Prayer saying truly that those prayers are not liked because not understood and vindicating the Government Discipline and Ceremonies of the Church for Preaching zealously against the Scots Invasion and declaring as vehemently against the English Rebellion Preaching truly and bidding them remember it when he was dead and gone that they themselves would repent it Sequestred Imprisoned 1. In Gresham Colledge with divers eminent Citizens of London 2. In New-gate 3. In the Kings-bench his Wife and Children in the mean time turned out of those doors at which he had relieved so many thousands and Plundered In his Imprisonment injoying the greatest freedom his soul as he would say being himself which could as little be confined to one place as his body could be diffused to many to confirm and comfort his Fellow-prisoners and upon all fair opportunities to undeceive his Fellow-citizens Mr. Ward of St. Leonard Foster-lane was of the same bold temper guilty of the same fault with Mr. Squire viz. calling a Spade a Spade and the Scots Traitors in his Clerum at Sion Colledge and liable to the same punishment for after a Recantation injoyned him he was Sequestred Plundered and forced to fly to Oxford where it is said he died for want He was never Plaintiff in any Suit with his Parishioners but to be Rights Defendant When his dues were detained from him he grieved more for his Parishioners had conscience than his own dammage being willing rather to suffer ten times in his Profit than once in his Title where not only his Person but his Posterity was wronged and when he must needs appeal from his Neighbors to his Superiors he proceeded fairly and speedily to a tryal that he might not vex and weary others but right himself during necessary Suits neither breaking off nor slacking Offices of courtesie to his Neighbors Dr. William Fuller a general Scholar well skilled in his own and former times a good Linguist those Languages which parted at Babel in a confusion met in his soul in a method a deep Divine and Master of all those Rules which the experience of 1600. years had gathered together for the reducing of Divinity into a method whereby a man might readily upon any occasion meet with full satisfaction in any point he desired a methodical pathetick and sententious Preacher Not like Scaliger in his

on their miscarriages attended with suitable remedies hence his private Catechizing of the same Children in his Chamber on Sundays in the afternoon whereby he ensnared the Servants to receive those Lessons obliquely which their bashfulness would not have endured directly Hence his invitation yea importunity to all persons to the very Scullion to bestow their leisure-hours in his Chamber where he treated them with passing familiarity though amidst his infinite humility he knew well how to assert the dignity of his Place and Function from the approaches of contempt Yea so universal his design for vertue and piety that he had no sooner made Proselytes to his severe and strict way than he engaged all his Converts to restore their Brethren and in his own words Not to be ashamed of being reputed Innocent or to be thought to have a kindness for Religion but own the seducing men to God with as much confidence at least as others use when they are Factors for the Devil and instead of lying on the guard and the Defensive part he gave in charge to chuse the other of Assailant Adding That this was their security it being like the not expecting of a threatned war at home but carrying it abroad in the enemies Country and nothing in the Christian world he judged so dangerous as a truce and the cessation of hostility with all parties and holding intelligence with guilt in the most trivial things he pronounced as treason to our selves as well as unto God for while saith he we fight with sin in the fiercest shock of opposition we shall be safe for no attempts can hurt us till we treat with the Assailants temptations of all sorts having that good quality of the Devil to fly when they are resisted And because a pretence of humility and bashful modesty might defeat all these instructions assuring them that that was arrant Pride and nothing else Three Principles he Inculcated 1. Principiis obsta withstand the overtures of evil 2. Hoc age be intent and serious in good to which he adjoyned a third viz. Be furnished with a friend Accordingly at a solemn parture he discoursed to one of his disciples thus I have heard say of a man who upon his death-bed being to take his farewell of his Son and considering what course of life to recommend that he might secure his Innocence at last enjoyned him to spend his time in making Verses and in dressing a Garden the Old Man thinking no temptation could creep into either of these employments But I in stead of these expedients will recommend the other the doing all the good you can to every person and the having of a Friend whereby your life shall not only be rendred innocent but extreamly happy Yet this unimitable man was not more active for others good than patient under his own ills whether first of contempt being as little displeased with his scornful opposites for being of his minde in their little value of his person as he was much concerned that they were not so in their eager dissent against his person in so much that in ten years converse neither his sanguine temper nor his great temptations were observed to transport his passion to any indecency Or secondly of pain which though he would say he was of all things most a Coward to yet he endured with eminent constancy and perfect resignation his first consideration being what failing had provoked the present chastisement and his prayer that God would convince him of it nor only so but tear and rend away though by the greatest violence and sharpest discipline whatever was displeasing in his eye and grant not only patience but fruitfulness under the rod adding his repeated submission Gods holy will be done according to his beloved Doctrine of resigning our selves not to the will of God alone but to his wisdom both which he was used to say were perfectly one thing in that blest Agent whence his Motto in the most dismal appearances of Events 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Even this for good His next observation was of the Circumstances of the allay as when it was the Gout that it was not the Stone or the Cramp and when it was the Stone it was not as sharp as others felt And in the intermission of his importunate maladies his third reflexion was a transport of Thanksgiving that he who had in his constitution the cause of so much pain should yet by Gods immediate interposing be rescued from the effect whereby you might discern what a pleasant thing it is to be thankful and how eternity may be well spent in Hallelujahs It s easily presumed that the serious Christian that readeth all this would gladly know the Rules and Principles whereon the good man raised his happy serenity and calmness to satisfie his useful curiosity then his first Rule was never to trouble himself with the fore-sight of future events suficient he resolved to the day is the evil thereof it being as he went on the greatest folly in the world to perplex ones self with that which perchance would never come to pass But if it should then God who sent it will dispose it to the best most certainly to his glory which should satisfie us in our respects to him and unless it be our fault as certainly to our good which if we be not strangely unreasonable must satisfie in reference to our selves and private Interests Besides all this in the very dispensation God will not fail to give such allays which like the cool gales under the Line will make the greatest heats of sufferance very supportable either the thing before us as he would subjoyn out of Epictetus is in our power or it is not if it be let us apply the remedy and there will be no motive for complaint if it be not the grief is utterly impertinent since it can do no good For this he annexed of the same Authors that every thing hath two handles if the one prove hot and not to be touched we may take the other that is temperate His second rule was to recollect his constant experiences of Gods dealing with him in precedent Dispensations His third was quod sis esse velis nihilque malis in his English to rather nothing and not only to acquiesce in the present state as most necessary but to be pleased with it as resolved the best adding his pretty question to the over-solicitous when they would begin to trust God or permit him to govern the world whereby the world and its Appendages hang loose about this unconcerned Christian that he never took notice when any part dropped off or sate uneasie His fourth was the great pleasure he took in a state of subjection which as he said rescued him from the sollicitous disquiet and discomposure of choice and left him nothing but the easie duty of obedience yet when he could not discern where his obligation lay he addressed himself to God by his own and

excellent Company He died 1662. leaving this character of his modesty behind him That as the Lion out of state will not run so he out of humility would not perform any action while many looked on With him suffered in London Learned Dr. William Wats of Cajus-Colledge in Cambridge and St. Albans Woodstreet London well skilled in the Lyturgies and Rituals of the Primitive Times to which he desired to reduce his own time setting forth Matthew Paris and other ancient M.

And Dr. Clewet who said he went never from his Company but much the better for him profiting more by an hours discourse with him than a weeks study by himself learning if nothing else yet silence and reservedness from him who dispensed rather than spake his words pausing with a reflexion upon what he had said before he said any more a way of three advantages to him 1. Because so he might correct the error of a former word 2. He might take occasion and matter for a following word And 3.
