most lofty insolent and passionate As for the remaining part of his life it was sometimes low and sometimes in a middle condition and often tossed by fortune to and fro and seldome at rest He was one that fortune had pickt up out of purpose of whom to make an example or to use as her Tennis-Ball thereby to shew what she could do for she tost him up of nothing and to and fro to greatness and from thence down to little more than to that wherein she found him a bare Gentleman not that he was less for he was well descended and of good alliance but poor in his beginnings and for the jest of Edw. Earl of Oxon. the Jack and an upstart Kt. all then knew it savoured more of emulation and his humour than of truth France was the first School wherein he learn'd the rudiments of War and the Low Countries and Ireland the military Academies of those times made him Master of that discipline for in both places he expos'd himself afterwards to Land-service but that in Ireland was a Militia which then did not yeild him food and raiment nor had he patience to stay there tho shortly after in 1580. he went thither again and was a Captain there under Arthur Lord Grey who succeded Sir Will. Pelham in the Deputy-ship of that Kingdom Afterwards gaining great credit he was received into the Court became a person in favour and had several boons bestow'd on him afterwards particularly the Castle of Shireborne in Dorsetshire taken from the See of Salisbury In the latter end of 1584. he discovered a new Country which he in honour of the Queen called Virginia received the honour of Knighthood from her and was afterwards made Captain of her Majesties Guards Senceschal of the Duchies of Cornwall and Exeter Lord Warden of the Stanneries of Devon and Cornwall Lord Leivtenant of Cornwall and Governour of Jersey In 1588. he shew'd himself active against the invincible Armada of the Spaniards and in 1592. being about that time a Parliament man wherein as in other Parliaments in the latter end of Q. Eliz. was he a frequent Speaker he went to America with 15. men of War to possess himself of Panama where the Spaniards Ship their riches or to intercept them in their passage homewards but returned successless and was out of favour for a time not only for that but for divirginating a maid of Honour Elizabeth Daughter of Sir Nich. Trockmorton whom he afterwards married and for some few months being kept under custody was at length set free but banished the Court. Afterwards to follow the directions of of his own Genie that was always inclined to search out hidden regions and the secrets of nature he undertook a navigation to Guiana that bears Gold in 1595. purposely for the improvement and honour of his Country both by getting store of wealth and by molesting the Spaniard within the inward coasts of America which he thought would be more profitable than on the Sea coasts where there are never any Towns laden with any riches but when they are conveyed thither to be carried over into Spain He set out from Plymouth on the 6. of Febr. and arrived at the Island Trinidada 22. March There he easily took a little City called S. Joseph and the Governour thereof Don Antonio de Bereo but sound not so much as a piece of Silver there Having enquired many things of this Antonio about the mines of Gold in Guiana he left his Ship in Trinidada and entred the vast River Orenoque with little Barks and some hundred Souldiers He searched up and down Guiana for the space of 4 Miles among the crooked and short turnings of the water several ways where being parched with the reflecting beams of the Sun just over his head and too much wet sometimes with Showers and having long wrestled with such like difficulties he yet continued so long till that it growing wintry cold in Apr. the waters all over-spread the earth insomuch that now he could pass away in no less danger of the waters than he came thither in danger of his enemies After his return he was constituted one of the chief persons in the expedition to Cadiz where he performed notable service and obtained to himself at home a great name In 1603 he presented to K. James at his entrance to the Crown of England a Manuscript of his own writing containing valid arguments against a peace to be made with Spain which was then the common discourse But the King being altogether for peace 't was rejected and the same year just after he had been deprived of the Captainship of the Guard which K. James bestowed on Sir Tho. Erskin Viscount Fenton in Scotland we find him in a plot against the King generally called Sir Walter Raleighs Treason for which being brought to his Tryal with others at Winchester in 1603. was at length found guilty and condemn'd to die But being repreived he was committed Prisoner to the Tower of London for life where he improved his confinement to the greatest advantage of learning and inquisitive men In Apr. 1614 he published the History of the World a book which for the exactness of its Chronology curiosity of its contexture and learning of all sorts seems to be the work of an Age. In 1617. power was granted to him to set forth Ships and men for the undertaking an enterpize of a golden Mine in Guiana in the southern parts of America and on the 28. March in the year following he left London in order for that Voyage notwithstanding Didacus Sarmiento de Acunna Earl or Count of Gundamore the Spanish Embassador to the K. of England endeavoured to hinder him with many arguments proposed to his Majesty But at length Sir Walter going beyond his Commission in taking and sacking the Town of St. Thome belonging to the Spaniard which was much aggravated by Gundamore the K. on the 9. June 1618 published his Royal Proclamation for the discovery of the truth of Raleigh's proceedings and for the advancement of justice Whereupon when Raleigh arrived at Plymouth Sir Lewis Steukeley vice-Vice-Admiral of the County of Devon seized him and brought him up to London 9. Aug. following But Raleigh finding the Court wholly guided by Gundamore as 't is said notwithstanding I find elsewhere that he left England 16 July going before he could hope for little mercy Whereupon wisely contriving the design of an escape was betrayed by Steukley taken on the Thames and committed to a close Prison Afterwards being often examined by the Lord Chancellour and Privy-Councel was at length on the 24 Oct. warned by them as they had been commanded by the King to prepare for death The particulars of which proceedings as also of his Voyage to Guiana you may see at large in a book intit A Declaration of the demeanour and carrige of Sir W.

EDMUND BONNER a Person much esteemed by those of his profession for the zeal he bore to the R. Catholick cause was the natural Son of George Savage Priest Parson of Davenham in Cheshire natural Son of Sir Job Savage of Clifton in the said County Knight of the Garter and one of the counsel to K. Hen. 7. Which Geo. Savage Priest had seven natural Children by three sundry Women viz. 1 George Savage Chancellour of Chester 2 Joh.

Bonner a Sawyer living with a Gentleman called Armingham of Potters Hanley in Worcestershire besides three Daughters named Margaret Ellen and Elizabeth Our Author who was called by his supposed Fathers name Edm. Bonner was born either at Elmeley or at Potters-Hanley in Worcestershire and in 1512 or thereabouts became a Student of Broadgates hall now Pembroke Coll. being then a noted nursery for Civilians and Canonists Soon after having made a sufficient progress in Philosophy and the Laws he was on the 12. June admitted Bach. of the Canon and on the 13. of July following an 1519. Bach. of the Civil Law About that time he entred into Holy Orders and performed many matters relating to his faculty in the Dioc. of Worcester by the appointment of the then Bishop In 1525 he was licensed to proceed in the Civil Law and about that time obtained the rectories of Ripple Bledon Dereham Cheswick and Cherriburton in Yorks Afterwards he was one of the Kings Chaplains a favourer of the Lutherans of the divorce between the K. and Catherine of Spain a favourer of the Kings proceedings in expelling the Popes authority from the Kingdom of England and Master of the Faculties under Dr. Cranmer Archb. of Canterbury In 1535 he became Archdeacon of Leycester in the place of Edw.

Oct. 1539 being then in an Embassie had restitution made of the Temporalities belonging thereunto 18 Nov. following and was consecrated 3. Apr. 1540. After the death of K. Hen. 8. and Religion being about to be reformed by K. Ed. 6. Bonner seemed at first to be forward for it but recanting what he had done he was enjoyn'd to preach a Sermon at Pauls cross to make farther trial perhaps of his humour wherein leaving out the article of the Kings authority was upon the complaints of Joh. Hooper and Will some call him Hugh Latymer Bach. of Div. and Parson of St. Laurence Pountney who prosecuted him very zealously for it and his slowness in forwarding reformation in his Diocess first committed Prisoner to the Marshalsea 20. Sept. and in the beginning of Oct. following an 1549. was depriv'd of his Bishoprick Soon after which time his Mother Elizab. Frodsham died and was buried at Fulham at whose Funeral Bonner tho a Prisoner gave to several Persons mourning coats In the beginning of Aug. 1553. he was released out of the Marshalsea and restored to his Bishoprick by Qu. Mary in whose Reign he shew'd himself severe being put upon it by publick authority against the Protestants as may be fully seen in Joh. Fox his Book of the Acts and Mon. of the Church As for the writings of the said Bonner they are many but all that I have yet seen are only these viz. Preface to the oration of Stephen Bish of Winchester concerning true obedience Printed at London in Lat. 1534. 35 and at Hamburgh 1536. oct Translated and imprinted by a most zealous enemy to the Papists called Mich. Wood who wrot a bitter and libellous Epistle before and a conclusion after it to the Reader Print at Roan 1553. oct I have seen another translation of it perhaps by the same hand without the said lib.

Among my searches I find one Nathaniel Bernard to be Lecturer of St. Sepulchers in London an 1629 who for uttering certain words in his prayer before Sermon at Antholines concerning the Queen was brought into the High Commission Court Also for preaching against his Majesties Declaration at St. Maries Church in Cambridge 6. May 1632 and using certain dangerous expressions therein was suspended excommunicated fined and committed to the New-prison near to London where he continued several months c. It doth farther appear also that one Nathaniel Bernard was beneficed in Essex but in the beginning of the grand rebellion in 1642 he was sequestred from his calling and charge there by several Committees sitting at Westminster banished from his dwelling and society of his Wife and Children and they turned out of doors c. Whereupon retiring for safety to Oxon published A looking-glass for rebellion Sermon preached 16. June 1644. in St. Maries Church

Clerke a Berkshire Man born who became Fellow of Magd. Coll. 1482. 2 Joh. Clerke of the same Coll. as it seems who proceeded M. of A. 1516. 3 Joh. Clerke a Cambridge Man afterwards Bishop of B. and Wells whom I shall elsewhere mention 4 Joh. Clerke who was originally of Cambridge afterwards of Cardinal College in Oxon and incorporated M. of A. 1525 but ejected the said Coll. soon after for Lutherisme 5 Joh. Clerke a Benedictine Monk incorporated Bach. of Divinity 13. July 1538 as he before had stood at Cambridge proceeded in that faculty at Oxon within few days after and stood in an Act to compleat that Degree 29. of the same Month in the said Year But of all the said Joh. Clerks not one as I conceive is Joh. Clerke the writer except you 'll say the second ALEXANDER de BARKLAY who seems to have been born at or near a Town so called in Somersetshire was for a time educated in this University particularly as it seems in Oriel Coll. of which his great Patron and Favourer of his studies Tho. Cornish Bishop of Tyne was then Provost Afterwards he travel'd beyond the Seas and at his return became by the said Bishops endeavours to whom he was Chaplain one of the Priests of the College of St. Mary at Otery in Devonshire founded by Joh. Grandison B. of Exeter But his Patron dying soon after he entred into the Order of St. Benedict or into that of St. Francis as one who gives him an ill report because he lived and died a single Man tells us but at what place I know not Sure 't is that living to see his Monastery dissolv'd he being about that time Doctor of Divinity became Vicar of Much Badew in Essex and in 1546 Vicar of the Church of St. Mathew the Apostle at Wokey in Somersetshire on the death of Mr. Rich. Eryngton which I think was all the preferment that he had to the time of his death In his younger days he was esteemed a good Poet and Orator as several specimens of his composition in those faculties shewed but when Years came on he spent his time mostly in pious matters and in reading the Histories of Saints His works are The figure of our Mother Holy Church oppressed by the French King Printed at London by Rich. Pynson in qu. The miseries or miserable lives of Courtiers Besides his answer to Job Skelton the Poet and other things which I have not yet seen He translated from Lat. into English The lives of St. Margaret St. Catherine St. Etheldreda St. George c. Several things also of Jo. Bapt. Fiera Mantuam and other matters as Baleus tells you But above all must not be forgotten his translation out of Latin French and Dutch into the English Language a Book intit The Ship of Fools an 1508. Printed at Lond. by Pich Pynson 1509. fol. and dedicated by the translator to the said Tho. Cornish B. of Tyne and suffragan Bishop of Wells This translation is adorned with great variety of Pictures printed from wooden cuts which could not be but very delightful to the Reader in those days The original Author of that Book was one Sebastian Brantius much famed in his time for his excellent works As for his translator Dr. Barklay who also translated from French into English The Castle of Labour lived to be an aged Man and dying at a Mercat Town called Croyden in Surrey before the 10. of June for on that day his will was prov'd in Fifteen hundred fifty and two was buried in the Church there year 1552 leaving then behind him among some the character of a good Scholar EDWARD SEYMOURE Son of Sir Joh. Seymoure of Wolfhall in Wilts Knight was educated in trivials and partly in quadrivials for some time in this University and whether he afterwards studied in Cambridge of which he was Chancellour in the Reign of Edw. 6. I cannot say If so 't is very strange that one that had conversed with the Muses of both Universities should be so unlearned as one who was an enemy to his memory reports that he could scarce write or read Afterwards K. Hen. 8. marrying his Sister Jane he ascended to and obtained great honours and places in the Realm of England as all Histories will tell you While he was Lord Protector there went under his name Epistola Exhortatoria ad pacem missa ad nobilitatem ac plebem universumque populum regni Scotiae Lond. 1548. qu. In which Year also came out his Expedition into Scotland written by another hand After he was committed Prisoner to the Tower of London for divers miscarriages in his Government he made very great shew of sanctity and seemed not to omit any opportunity whereby he might employ his time religiously as it well appears by a Book that he then wrot entituled A spiritual and most precious Pearl teaching all Men to love and embrace the cross as a most sweet and necessary thing c. Lond 1550 oct At that time before and after he was much courted by John Calvin and Peter Martyr as being the chief Person that carried on the reformation The former wrot to him the said Protector An Epistle of godly consolation 22. Oct. 1549. Writ before the time and knowledge of his trouble Which Epistle being delivered to him in the time of his trouble was translated by him from French into English Printed at Lond. 1550. oct The other P. Martyr wrot an Epistle to him about the same time in the Lat. tongue which being much pleasing to him was by his desire translated into English by that noted Zealot Thom. Norton Printed 1550. in oct From which Epistles it doth plainly appear what great respects they Calvin and Martyr and their Parties had for him and what solemn wishes and prayers they continually
into holy Orders and was made Library keeper to K. Ed. 6. who finding him to be a Person of Merit conferr'd the Deanery of Chichester on him about 1551. But when Qu. Mary came to the Crown he left his preferments and as a voluntary exile went into Germany where accompanying other English Exiles that had fled thence for Religion sake continued there till the death of Qu. Mary and then returning was restored to what he had lost and without doubt was rewarded with more While he was beyond the Sea he exercised himself much in writing matters in verse and prose in both which he wrot several things with great happiness especially those to his Brother Thomas to embrace the true Doctrine of Jesus Christ that is to leave the R. Catholick Church turn Protestant and come over to him Among many things that he wrot were Paraenesis lib. 1. Written to his Brother Thomas Carmina in mortem Henrici Dudlaei Analysis Scoparum Johannis Cochlei Exposition of a part of S.

Ed. 6. he being then beneficed and dignified in the Church In the Reign of Qu.

Religion that he made a solemn Protestation in Qu. Maries Reign that he would see the nntermost drop of his Grease molten away and the last gobbet of his Flesh consumed to Ashes before he would forsake God and his truth He lived after Qu. Elizabeth came to the Crown and was imprison'd for a time but when or where he died I know not PETER MARTYR who is to have a place in these Athenae was born in the great and rich City of Florence in Italy in Sept. on the Nativity of the Virgin Marie an 1500 educated in several sorts of Learning in that City by the great care of his Father Steph. Vermilius became a Canon regular of the Order of S. Austin at 16 years of age in the Coll. at Fiesoli more than a mile distant from Florence After he had spent three years there he was sent to Padua to enlarge his Learning that University then being in a flourishing Condition and setling in the Monastery of St. John de Verdera of the same Order of S. Austin spent almost 8 years in philosophical Studies and all other Arts especially in the Greek Tongue and Poets which at length he conquered At 26 years of age he began to preach and the first time he performed that Office was in the Church of St. Afra in Brescia and afterwards frequently in the most famous Cities of Italy However all the time that he could obtain from his Function was spent in sacred Learning Philosophy and in obtaining the Hebrew Tongue At length being cried up for a celebrated Scholar he was made Abbat of Spoleto in the Duchy of L'Ombria in Italy where he continued three years Thence he was translated to Naples and there became Abbat of the Monastery of his Order called St. Peter ad aram being of greater profit and a far more pleasant place than Spoleto After he had been setled there for some time he began to see the verity of the Gospel especially after he had read some of the Works of Bucer and Zwinglius Three years being spent there also he fell into a dangerous Sickness but the strength of Nature overcoming it he was advised by his Physitians to take better Air than what Naples afforded To that end therefore that he might with convenience be absent from his Cure the Fathers chose him General Visitor of their Order that is of the Order of S. Austin and soon after was elected Prior of S. Fridian within the City of Luca which is a place of great dignity having Episcopal Jurisdiction in the middle part of the said City Being setled at that place he instituted a most admirable way of Studies for the younger sort at Luca but at length his Opinions as to Heresie then so called being discovered snares were laid for him so that being not in a capacity to speak his mind he by the advice of certain Friends committed the best part of his Library to the Custody of one of them gave another part to the Coll. and forthwith left Luca and went to Pisa whence he wrote Letters to Card. Pole shewing the Reasons of his Departure Afterwards he went into Schwitzerlands and fixed for some time at Zurich Thence to Strasburgh where for about five years he read and taught sacred Letters in which time he took to Wife he being near 50 years of Age one Cath. Dampmartin causing thereupon his Enemies to say that he left his Order and Monastic Vows purposely for the sake of a Woman Which Wife after she had lived with him about 8 years died at Oxon as I shall anon tell you In 1547 he was invited into England by Edward Lord Protector and Dr. Cranmer Archb. of Canterbury to the end that his Assistance might be used to carry on a Reformation in the Church In the Month of Dec. the same year he with Bemnardine Ochine another Italian arrived in England and retiring to Lambeth were kindly received by Archb. Cranmer and entertained there for some time About the latter end of the same year in Feb. or
the Civil Law in an ancient hostle for Civilians called Henxey hall in St. Aldates Parish in Oxon where making great proficiency he was admitted Bach. of the Civil Law in 1531. In 1535 when K. Hen. 8. first founded certain Lectures in the University he appointed Job Storie to read that of the Civil Law and in 1537 he became Principal of Broadgates hall being also about that time Moderator of one of the Civil Law Schools In 1538 he proceeded in his faculty and afterwards performing excellent service at the Siege of Bologne in Picardie in the administration of the Civil Law under the Lord Marshall there the King in consideration thereof did renew his former grant of the said Lecture in form of Letters Pat. for the term of life of the said John in the Year 1546 or thereabouts joyning with him for his ease Mr. Rob. Weston Fellow of All 's College When Qu. Marie came to the Crown she renewed his patent again but soon after resigning his professorship because he had got greater preferment at London and the Chancellourship of the Dioc. of Oxon. if I mistake not became a zealous Man in the Religion then professed and an eager enemy against the poor Protestants as the Histories of those times will tell you I find published under his name these things following Oration against Th. Cranmer Archb. of Canterbury in 1556. Discourse with Joh. Philpot the Martyr about matters of Religion and with others Answer to Examinations during his imprisonment in the tower of London in 1570. Speech at his execution at Tybourne 1 o June 1571. with other things of which some relate to his profession that I have not yet seen When Qu. Elizab. came to the Crown he was imprisoned but soon after broke out and going beyond the Sea continued an enemy to the Protestants there became a sworn servant to the Duke of Alva at Antwerp and from him received a special commission to search the Ships for goods forfeited and and for English Books in which service he did very great harm to the English Protestants At length being invited under hand to search the Ship of one Parker an English Man went unwarily therein Whereupon Parker causing the hatches to be shut when Storie was searching under deck he hoised sail and brought him Prisoner into England about the beginning of Decemb. 1570. So that being clap'd up close Prisoner within the Tower of London did undergo there several examinations At length being brought to a trial and stedfastly denying to take the Oath of Supremacy as he had done several times before within the Tower he was drawn thence on a hurdle to Tybourne on the first day of June in Fifteen hundred seventy and one year 1571 having been prayed for and animated in his faith by Joh. Feckenham Prisoner in the said Tower where after he had spoken a large speech which was unexspected and therefore not interrupted he was for a little time hanged but before he was half dead he was cut down and when the Executioner cut off his privy members he rose up with alacrity and gave him a blow on the ear But his bowels being soon after draw'd out of his belly and his body quarter'd his head was set upon London bridge and his quarters were hanged on 4 gates of the City Several of his treasons and conspiracies against the English Nation you may see in a pamphlet printed in oct an 1571 bearing this title A copie of a letter sent by a Gentleman student in the lawes of the realm to a friend of his concerning Dr. Storie And what relates to him as praise worthy you may see in Concertatio Ecclesiae Catholicae in Anglica taken from Nichol. Sanders his seventh Book De visibili Monarchia His Martyrdom is imprinted or represented in the English Coll. at Rome and he is called with the two Notons Joh. Felton and others Saints The Franciscans have a great respect for his memory also because he had been a lay-brother of that Order and had done several signal services for them JOHN JEWELL one of the greatest lights that the reformed Church of England hath produced was born at Buden in the Parish of Berinerber in Devon 24. May 1522. His Father was Joh ' Jewell and his Mother of the Family of the Bellamies who sparing neither labour or charge for his education was at length by the care of Joh. Bellamie his uncle educated in Grammar learning first at Branton then at Southmoulton and at length at Barnstaple in his own Country under one Walt. Bowen In which last School being made ripe for the University he was sent to Oxon. in July 1535 and being entred into Merton Coll. under the tuition of John Parkhurst afterwards B. of Norwych was by him made his Portionist now called Postmaster and by his care and severe tuition laid the foundation for greater learning that followed In the Year 1539. after he upon examination had shew'd himself a youth of great hopes he was admitted Scholar of C. C. Coll. 19. Aug. and the Year after was made Bach. of Arts. So that being put into a capacity by that Degree of taking Pupills many resorted to him whom he mostly instructed in private in Protestant principles and in publick in Humanity he being about that time Rhetorick reader in his Coll. In 1544 he was licensed to proceed in Arts which he compleated in an Act celebrated 9. Feb. the same year When K. Hen. 8. was dead he shew'd himself more openly to be a Protestant and upon P. Martyr's arrival at Oxon to be an admirer and hearer of him whose Notary he was when he disputed with Tresham Cheadsey and Morgan In 1550 he was admitted to the reading of the Sentences and during the Reign of K. Ed. 6. became a zealous promoter of reformation and a Preacher and Catechiser at Sunningwel near Abendon in Berks. Soon after Qu. Mary came to the Crown he was forced to leave the Nation and retire first to Frankfort with Henry the eldest Son of Sir Franc. Knollys Rob. Horne and Edwyn Sandys and afterwards to Strasburgh with Joh. Poynet Edmund Grindal Joh. Cheek c. After Qu. Maries death he returned in 1558 and in the Year following he was rewarded with the Bishoprick of Salisbury for his great learning and sufferings being about that time appointed one of the Protestant Divines to encounter those of the Romish perswasion when Qu. Elizab. was about to settle a reformation in the Church of England In 1560 he preached at Pauls cross on the second Sunday before Easter on 1. Cor. 11. 23. For I have received of the Lord that which also I have delivered unto you c. In which Sermon he shew'd himself the first who made a publick challenge to all the Rom. Catholicks in the world to produce but one clear and evident testimony out of any Father or famous writer who flourished within 500 years after Christ for any one of the many articles which the Romanists
born at Bolingdon in the same County educated as it seems in New Inn where applying his studies to the Civil Law was admitted to the reading of any of the Books of Institutions an 1524. at which time the said Inn was replenished and did excellently flourish with Civilians After he had left the University he became supreme Moderator of the Free-school within the cemitery gate at Canterbury and in 1553 Mayor of that City At length growing rich for his School was very much frequented by the youth of the neighbourhood many of which went afterwards to the Universities he purchased Lands at Preston and Hardacre in Kent which he left to his posterity He was a Person well read in Greek and Lat. Authors in the histories and antiquities of our Nation and much valued for his abilities in other matters by the learned Men of his age particularly by his acquaintance Joh. Leland who numbers him among the illustrious worthies of his time He hath written De rebus Albionicis Britannicis atque Anglicis commentariorum libri duo Lond. 1590. in oct written to his Son Thomas who afterwards with an Epistle made it publick Our Author John Twyne hath also written and collected divers things of antiquities which are dispersed in several hands and some of them descending to his Grandson Brian Twyne he gave them at his death to the Library of C. C. Coll. At length our Author arriving to a good old age year 1581 gave way to fate 24. Novemb. in Fifteen hundred eighty and one and received sepulture in the Chancel of the Church of St. Paul withing the City of Canterbury Over his grave is an inscription wherein he is stiled Armiger and said to have been Mayor of Canterbury in the time of Wyatts rebellion in the beginning of Qu. Mary This Epitaph being written in verse I shall now omit and commend you to that just Encomium of him given by Leland before mentioned By Alice his Wife who died 20. Oct. 1567. aged 60 and in the 43 year of her Wedlock Daughter of Will. Piper of Canterbury he had issue divers Sons The first was Laurence Twyne who was Fellow of Allsouls Coll. and Bach. of the Civil Law an ingenious Poet of his time as several copies of verses set before books written in commendation of their respective Anthors do sufficiently attest He was a married Man lived at Hardacre in Kent and left issue behind him at his death several Children The second was Tho. Twyne before-mention'd whom I shall mention under the Year 1613. The third was John Twyne whose ingenuity also is scatter'd in several copies of verses before books in the time of Qu. Elizabeth and the fourth was Nicholas of whom I know nothing RICHARD COXE was born as 't is said at Whaddon in Bucks elected from Eaton School Scholar of Kings Coll. in Cambridge in 1519 where taking the Degree of Bach. of Arts went to Oxon for preferment was made one of the junior Canons of the Cardinal Coll. and in Decemb. 1525 was with other Cantabrigians incorporated in the same Degree About that time he supplicated that he might answer at the Austin Fryery now called Disputations in Austins and answer the Masters in formal disputations which was granted conditionally that he also oppose at the said Fryery This exercise being by him performed in order to the taking of his Masters Degree he was licensed to proceed in Arts 8. Feb. following and accordingly did proceed in an Act celebrated 2. July 1526. Soon after being notoriously known to be a follower and abettor of the opinions of Luther he was forced to leave Oxon and some years after became Master of Eaton School near to Windsore where by his diligent instruction the boys profited much About the Year 1537 he proceeded D. of D. at Cambridge became Archdeacon of Ely in the room as it seems of Tho. Thirlby promoted to the See of Westminster and afterwards was incorporated at Oxon in the Degree of Doctor In 1543. Jan. 8. he was made Dean of the new erected Cathedral of Osney near Oxon and in 1546 when that See was translated to Ch. Ch. he was also made Dean there In 1547 he was chosen Chancellour of the University of Oxford being in great favour with the then K. Ed. 6. By which election it fell out that as the Oxonians enjoyed one that had been partly educated in Cambridge so it was with the Cantabrigians in former time by their election of John Bromyerd an Oxonian and an eminent writer in the Reign of Rich. 2. and since by their election of Dr. Thomas Ruthal in the Reign of Hen. 7. But what mad work this Dr. Coxe did in Oxon while he sate Chancellour by being the chief Man that worked a reformation I have elsewhere told you In 1548. July 16. he was installed Canon of Windsore in the place of Dr. Thomas Magnus who resigned that dignity in 1547 and about that time was made one of the Privy Council Almoner to the King and Dean of Westminster But when Qu. Mary came to the Crown he among others fled to Frankfort in Germany where he shewed himself among the English Exiles a zealous Man for the Common Prayer as used in the days of K. Ed. 6. against Joh. Knox a Scot and a violent Calvinist When Qu. Elizabeth succeeded in the Empire he was appointed the chief of the Protestant Divines to encounter those of the Rom. perswasion in a disputation when that Queen was about to settle a reformation in the Church of England But that disputation coming to nothing he was made Bishop of Ely to which See he was consecrated 21. Dec. 1559 yet whether it was for his retiredness or small hospitality or the spoil he was said to make of his woods and parks feeding his Family with powdered venison he was but in little favour with the said Queen At Cambridge he was esteemed a good Scholar and a better Poet than Dr. Wal. Haddon who call'd him Master as having been either his Scholar or Servant There goes under this Dr. Coxe's names Oration at the beginning of the disputation of Dr. Tresham and others with Pet. Martyr Oration at the conclusion of the disputation These two orations which are in latine were printed 1549. in qu. and afterwards among Pet. Martyrs works Dr. Coxe also had a considerable hand in framing the first Liturgy of the Church of England and a hand in the third an 1559 and also turned into metre the Lords Prayer at the end of the Psalmes of David besides other works not yet remembred by publick Authors He yielded up his last breath 22. Jul. year 1581 in Fifteen hundred eighty and one and was buried in the Cath. Church of Ely near to the monument of Bishop Goodrich I find another Rich. Coxe who was living and a writer in the tâ—me of the former but that Rich. Coxe which Joh. Leland the Antiquary and Poet doth so much celebrate for his faith and integrity in
a copy of verses written to Thom. Legh of Adlington Esq must be understood of Bishop Coxe before mention'd NICHOLAS SAUNDERS the most noted defender of the R. Cath. cause in his time was born at Charlewood in Surrey educated in Grammar learning in Wykehams School near Winchester admitted true and perpetual Fellow of New Coll. an 1548 Bach. of the Laws 3 year after and about 1557 Shagling Lecturer or as he himself saith tanquam regius professor juris canonici But Religion putting on another face in the beginning of Q. Eliz. he left England about 1560 and going to Rome was made Priest and D. of D. and soon after went with Cardinal Stanislaus Hosius to the Council of Trent where he shew'd himself to be a Man of great parts by his several disputations and arguings Which Cardinal having an especial respect for made him his individual comparison in his journey into Poland Prussia and Lithuania As for the chief actions of his life that followed his Sisters Son John Pitseus will tell you But that which I must not forget now to let you know is that when he was a Nuntio from P. Gregory 13 into Ireland where he with 3 Ships full of Spaniards landed at Smerwick in Kerrey about the first of July 1579 to encourage the Irish there to take up arms and rebel against Qu. Elizabeth was after they with the said Spaniards had been overcome by the English forced to abscond in caves dens woods c.

Saunders an English Man who very near at the same instant of time was miserably famish'd to death when forsaken of all and troubled in mind for the bad success of the rebellion he wandred up and down among woods forests and mountains and found no comfort or relief In his pouch were found several speeches and letters made and written to confirm the rebels stuffed with large promises from the Bishop of Rome and the Spaniard Thus the divine justice if a Man may judge stopped that mouth with hunger which had been always open to encourage rebellions and to belch forth malicious lies and slanders For to omit other things he was the first Man that broached that abominable lye concerning the birth of Qu. Elizabeths Mother which no Man in those days though the hatred and the malice of the Papists was then fresh against her and might remember it ever knew England in full forty years after never heard of the computation of time doth egregiously convince of falshood and vanity and he forgetting himself which a lyar should not do doth himself plainly confute c.

Alaskie Prince of Sirad when he was entertained by the Oxonian Muses About that time taking one degree in Physick he setled within the City of Bath where he became as much noted for his happy success in the practice of Physick as before he was for his Lat. Poetry in the University He wrote in Lat. Poem describing the scite and beauty of St. Donats Castle in Glamorganshire Which Poem coming to the sight of Dr. John David Rhese his worthy acquaintance who stiles it Venestum Poema he turned it into Welsh and gave the author of it this character Vir cûm rci medicae tùm Poetices merilissimus I have seen much of his Poetry scattered in several books which if gathered together might make a pretty Manual Sir John Harrington the famous Epigrammatist had an especial respect for his learning and so had Sir Edw.

Stradling also whom I shall anon mention hath several Epigrams written unto him one especially upon the sending to him a Poem of a Crott which was paraphrased by Charles Thynne This Mr. Leyson died at Bath and was buried in St. James's Church there near to the body of his Wife but the year when I cannot tell I have been credibly informed by several Scholars of Wales that he hath written divers other things but what they could not justly tell me SIMON HARWARD whose native place is to me as yet unknown became one of the Chaplains of New coll in 1577. was incorporated Bach. of Arts the same year as he had stood elsewhere but in what Univ. or Academy it appears not Afterwards he proceeded in Arts as a Member of the said coll left the University soon after and became a Preacher at Warington in Lancashire Thence he removed to Bansted in Surrey about the latter end of Q. Elizabeth and thence having a rambling head to Tanridge in the same County where I find him in 1604. to be a Schoolmaster and as it seems a practitioner in Physick His works are these Two godly Sermons Preached at Manchester in Lanc.

Mary in Hart hall as it seems where he became an excellent Poet. Afterwards he retired for a time to Cambridge where he had the degree of M. of A. confer'd upon him About the same time being a Student in the Inner Temple he became a Barrister travelled into Foreign parts and was detained for a time a Prisoner in Rome whence his liberty was procured for his return into England to possess the vast inheritance left to him by his Father an 1566. The next year he was advanced to the degree and title of the Lord Buckhurst and after he had been imployed in several Embassies particularly into France 1571. he was incorporated M. of A. of this University in Jan. 1591. having a little before been chosen Chancellour thereof In the 41. of Q. Elizabeth he was constituted Lord Treasurer of England and in the beginning of K. James was created Earl of Dorset From his puerile years to his last he was a continual favourer and furtherer of learning And having been in his younger days poetically inclined did write while he continued in Oxon several Latin and English Poems which tho published either by themselves or mixed among other Mens Poems yet I presume they are lost or forgotten as having either no name to them or that the copies are worn out He had also an excellent faculty in composing Tragedies and was esteemed the best of his time for that part of the Stage But what remains of his labours in that way that are extant I could never see but this following The Tragedy of Ferrex and Porrex Sons to Gorboduc King of Brittain Acted before the Queen by the Gentlemen of the Inner Temple at White-hall 18. Jan. 1561. It was printed at Lond. without the consent of the authors and so consequently very imperfectly an 1565.

All which passages delivered from the Pulpit by that learned and godly Archbishop being then generally believed I must make bold to tell the Reader being an eager pursuer of Truth that by the several Copies of the said Books which I have seen it doth not appear at all that they were printed at Rome or elsewhere and if it may really be guessed by the make or mould of the Letter wherewith they were printed I should rather take them as one or more Doctors of this University do the like to have been printed either at Rheimes or Doway or not unlikely at Antwerp for at Rome there were seldome before that time then or since such sine or clear letters used as by multitudes of Books which I have seen that were printed at that place appears nor indeed ever were or are any English Books printed there Our author Buckland hath also written An Embassage from Heaven wherein our Lord Christ giveth to understand his indignation against all such as being catholickly minded dare yeild their presence to the rites and publick prayers of the Malignant Church Printed in octavo but where or when it appears not either in the beginning or end of the said Book He also translated from Lat. into English a Book entit De persecutione Vandelica lib. 3.

Whether our author Franc. Thynne went afterwards to Cambridge or was originally a Student there before he came to Oxon I cannot justly say it Sure it is that his Genie tempting him to leave the crabbedness of Logick and Philosophy and to embrace those delightful studies of Histories and Genealogies he became at length one of the Officers of Arms by the title of Blanch-Lyon and afterwards Herald by that of Lancaster which he kept to his dying day His works are The Annals of Scotland in some part continued from the time in which Ra.

Nov. an 1660. was buried in the Church of S. Martin before-mentioned This John Lord Finch who had a younger Brother called Henry seems to have had some considerable knowledge in Mathematicks and Astronomy as it appears by a Manuale Mathematicum curiously written on Velom with his own hand preserved to this day as a rarity in Dugdale's Press among the MSS in the Ashmolean Musaeum RICHARD FOWNS a Ministers Son and a Worcestershire man born was elected Student of Ch.

Fowns preached on 2 Thess 2. 34. was published in 1660. but whether preached by our author or another of both his names I cannot tell because I have not yet seen it CHRISTOPHER BAGSHAW was originally descended from the Bagshaws living at Ridge or Abney in Derbyshire but the name of the place wherein he received his first breath I cannot yet find In 1572 he was by the endeavours of Rob. Persons afterwards a Jesuit elected Probationer-Fellow of Balliol coll being then a Bach. of Arts and a celebrated Logician and Philosopher Soon after proceeding in his Faculty he was much noted for his zeal to Protestancy yet proved troublesome in his publick disputes and in his behaviour towards Persons About the year 1579. he was Principal or at least Deputy for a time of Gloucester hall where also being disliked he left that place soon after and his Fellowship in 1582. which was pronounced void the year following About that time he went beyond the Seas changed his Religion and being made a Priest in France and getting helps and directions from Fa. Persons he journied to Rome where for some time he lived in the English college But being troublesome there also and raising great garboyles among the Scholars of that place Cardinal Boncompagno Protector of the English Nation expelled him thence as one that had no good will for him saith Yet our author in his own vindication tells us that he had a Benedicessit and departed very orderly Afterwards he returned to Paris where as 't is said he was made Doctor of Div. and one of the Sorbon at which time and after the Jesuits used to stile him Doctor Erraticus and Doctor per Saltum Afterwards he was sent into England to gain Souls to his Religion but taken and committed Prisoner to Wisbich Castle in Cambridgshire where I find him in 1593. among many other Priests and Gentlemen of the Rom. Cath. Religion that had some years before been secured in that place 'T is said while he continued there that he carried away the glory and fame of all that was heretofore laudably done in that Castle before Fa. Edmonds alias Weston a Jesuit began to shew his tricks and then that Party and those Lay-persons that favoured them would condemn Bagshaw as a man of no worth unruly disordered and a disobedient person not to be favoured or respected by any c. Afterwards being freed from that prison he went beyond Sea again where he ended his days He hath written An answer to certain points of a Libel called An Apology of the Subordination in England Par. 1603. oct He had a considerable hand also in writing a book intit Declaratio motuum ac turbationum inter Jesuitas Sacerdotes Seminariorum in Anglia Rothomag 1601. in qu.

Persons in Rome Printed 1601. qu. This Dr. Bagshaw died and was buried at Paris after the year sixteen hundred twenty and five as I have been informed by Franc. Ã Sancta Clara who remembered and knew the Doctor well but had forgotten the exact time of his death JOHN GEE the Son of a Minister of Devon but whether of John or George Gee whom I have before mentioned in Edw. Gee under the year 1618. I cannot justly say was entred into Brasnose coll in 1613. aged 16. where making no long stay he entred himself a Batler among his Countrymen of Exeter college and having holy Orders confer'd on him after he had taken one degree in Arts became beneficed at Newton near to Winwick in Lancashire of which last place Mr. Josias Horne being then Parson Gee had oftentimes several conferences with him concerning matters of Religion but they savouring much of a mind inclining to Popery Mr. Horne and the neighbouring Ministers concluded among themselves that he had changed his Religion before he had left that place Thence taking his rambles he retired to London and became acquainted with the noted persons of the R. Cath. Perswasion that then lived there But at length being moved to leave them and his opinions newly embraced by the urgent letters of his Father and by the valid reasons concerning the vanity as he term'd
will tell you He dyed in that parish in 1649. as I think but was not of the University of Oxon.

Tully one of his Lordships Chaplains and Chancellour of the Diocess of Carlile preached his Funeral sermon This Dr. Rainbow having been originally of C. C. Coll. in this University I shall in my other Vol. of this Work speak more largely of him Thom. Ball M. A. I take this person to be the same Thomas Ball who was born in Shropshire first of Queens under the tuition of Dr. Joh. Preston and afterwards Fellow of Emanuel Coll. in Cambr. Minister of the Gospel in Northampton and a publisher of several books as 1 The life of Dr. Joh. Preston 2 Pastorum propugnaculam or the pulpits patronage against the force of unordained usurpation and invasion in four parts Lond. 1656. qu. c. He was buried at Nâ—rthampton 21 June 1659 aged 69 years or thereabouts At which time his intimate acquaintance Joh. Howe 's M. of A. sometimes of Eman. Coll. Rector of Abbington near Nâ—rthampton preached his Funeral sermon wherein were several matters delivered in commendation of Mr. Ball. Râ—b Creyghton or Chrichton M. of A. of Trin. Coll. This person who was born in the north parts of Scotland was educated in Westminster School and thence elected into the said College 1613 took the degrees in Arts and became Orator and Greek Professor of Cambridge In 1632 Dec. 17. he was installed Treasurer of the Cathedral Church at Wells having been collated thereunto by Geor. Archb. of Canterbury upon the then vacancy of the See of B. and Wells in which Vacancy Dr. Rob. Wright who kept the said Treasureship in commendam with the See of Bristow was translated to Lichfield and thereupon forced to give up that Dignity In 1637 he became Dean of S. Burians in Cornwal in the place of Rich. Murray a Scot deceased and about that time Doctor of Divinity and beneficed in Somersetshire In the beginning of the Rebellion he suffered then and afterwards very much for the Royal Cause retired to his Majesty at Oxon became one of his Chaplains afterwards an Exile with K. Ch. 2. to whom being Chaplain at the Hague preached very liberally before him against the Presbyterians and the Murderers of K Ch. 1. After his Majesties return he became Dean of Wells the grant of which he had before and being then also Chaplain to the King he would freely preach before him against the Vices of the times which was well taken by some tho sneared at by others In 1670 Jun. 19 he was consecrated B of Bathe and Wells at Lambeth in the place of Dr. Will. Piers deceased at which Ceremony assisted the B. of London in the place of his Grace the Archb. of Canterbury with the Bishops of Winchester and Ely This Dr. Creyghton was a learned man as it appears by his translation from Greek into Latin and illustration
degenerate into madness and frenzie and that the endeavours of others under the pretence of reformation was to bring in Anarchy and Sacrilege he published a learned Tract called by a certain Author notwithstanding P. Heylyn published a book with the same title A coal from the Altar And another learned book entit Noli me tangere Or a thing to be thought of printed 1641. qu. Against Anarchy he also declared himself for Episcopacy and the establish'd Liturgy and published another book entit Communion comeliness Wherein is discovered the conveniency of the Peoples drawing near to the table in the sight thereof when they receive the Lords Supper c. Lond. 1641. qu. In which book by many impregnable arguments he proves a high conveniency if not a necessity for that most laudable custome of having railes about the Lords Table So that this Person being discern'd by the faction to be a friend to the Protestant Religion established in the Church of England was look'd upon as their enemy and was by them branded with Popery or as popishly affected Yet his former reputation in the City bore him up against the obloquy of private discontent for a time At length when they came openly to defie their Sovereign the Lords anointed it was a fit time to silence and remove Mr. Vdall for neither Dr. Gouge his Church in the Black-friers or Mr. Jo. Goodwins in Colemanstreet were half so full before the Long Parliament began as Mr. Vdalls had been since First therefore they plunder his house take away his Library and Houshold stuff then remove him from the execution of his Ministry and sequester the profits thereof for a Levite of their own Afterwards they sought to commit him to Prison tho aged and very weak and infirm in body and at length carried his aged and decrepid Wife out of her doors by force and set her in the open street to shift for her self This most pious and meek Man who had been favoured in his Ministry by the Vincents of Stoke-Dawbernon in Surrey Baronets hath written other things among which is The good of peace Sermon on Psal 29. 11. Lond. 1642. qu. He surrendred up his most pious and devout Soul to God about the latter end of May 1647 at which time he desired that his body might be buried in the Chancel of Allhallows in Honey-lane in Cheapside in Lond. unless the Parishioners of St. Austin desire to have the disposing of it In a most unworthy Pamphlet entit The first century of scandalous malignant Priests c. print 1643. I find these matters of Ephraim Vdall viz. that he hath affirmed that the great reformers of the Church now are Hypocrites and hath made framed and published a book intit Noli me tangere without license charging the Parliament with Sacrilege in endeavouring to abolish Episcopacy and to take away the Lands of Deans and Chapters to amend therewith the maintenance of preaching Ministers and that thereby they have brought a national sin on the Land as was formerly done by them in taking away Monasteries c.

Pell also a Graduat of the same University was incorporated but in what degree whether in that of Bachelaur or Master of Arts it appears not This person tho I have several times occasionally mention'd in this Work yet I shall take liberty to be more large upon him now He was the Son of Joh. Pell and he of another John descended from those of his name in Lincolnshire where they seem to be of antient extraction His first breath was drawn at Southwyâ—ke in Sussex of which place his Father was Minister on S. Davids day an 1610 and his Grammar learning received in the Free-school then newly founded at Stenning a Market Town in the said County At 13 years of age he was sent to Trin. Coll. in Cambridge being then as good a Scholar as some Masters of Arts in that University and tho he understood Lat. Gr. and Hebr. well yet he never stood at an Election of Scholars and Fellows of that house He was of a strong and good habit of body and therefore using Recreations seldom or never he plied his studies while others play'd About two years after he had taken the magisterial degree he married and understood then besides the said three Tongues Arab. Ital. French Spanish High and Low Dutch In Dec. 1643 he took a Journey to Amsterdam and was there made Professor of the Mathematicks next after Mart. Hoâ—tensius where his learned Collegue Ger. Jo. Vossius as he testifies de scientiis Math. c. 10. heard him with admiration read his publick Lectures upon Diophantus by whom likewise he is stiled a person of various erudition and a most acute Mathematician And in 1646 the Prince of Orange called him to be publick Professor of Philosophy and Mathematicks in the Schola illustris at Breda founded that year by his Highness While he continued there William Lord Brereton was sent by his Grandfather George Earl of Norwych to be his Scholar and became a good proficient especially in Algabra to which his Genius most inclin'd him and carried it on to his dying day which hapning on the 17 of March 1679 he being then a chief Member of the Royal Society was buried in the Church of S.
