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.

Coll. in 1607 proceeded in Arts and being not bound to any particular Faculty as the Fellows in other Colleges are became most admirably well vers'd in all kind of Learning He was a most exact Latinist and Greecian was well skill'd in the Hebrew and Arabick was a thorough-pac'd Mathematician was excellently well read in the Fathers and Councils a most curious Critick a Politician Statesman and what not The first preferment that he had whereby his parts were made manifest to the world was the Professorship of Geometry in Gresham College which he kept with his Fellowship as afterwards he did the Savilian Professorship of Geometry in this University obtained on the death of Hen. Briggs in the year 1630. He was much beloved of Archb. Laud and so highly valued by him that he would have procured him to be one of the Secretaries of State or Clerks of the Privy Council c. but being wedded to his College and a studious life entertaining hopes withal of being Warden thereof he denied those and other honorable and beneficial places In 1636 he was actually created Doctor of Physick and in the beginning of the grand Rebellion was one of the first Scholars that went out and served his Majesty in the quality of a Volunteer under the command of Colonel Sir John Byron for which he did not only for the present suffer as being a Prisoner of War but was afterwards ejected by the Parliamentarian Visitors from all right he had to his Fellowship of Mert. Coll and from his Professorship of the University He wrot many admirable things but he being too curious and critical he could never finish them according to his mind and therefore cancell'd them He also made divers Translations from Greek into Lat. particularly some of the Epistles from an old authentick MS of Isidorus Pelusiota Which Trans were found among Hen. Jacobs Papers after his death But that with other Curiosities of our learned Turner went afterwards into obscure hands He hath extant in several books Epistolae variae ad doctissimos viros He had also a principal hand in framing the University Statutes now in use and was the sole person that made them run in good Latine and put the Preface to them He made the Caroline Cycle for the Election of Proctors beginning in 1629 and ending in 1720 and did many other matters for the benefit of Learning and this University At length being in a manner undone by the Severities of the Parliamentarian Visitors in 1648 he retired to the House of his Sister the afflicted widdow of one Wats a Brewer living against the Compter Prison in Southwark near London where spending the short remainder of his life in obscurity surrendred up his soul to God in the month of January in sixteen hundred fifty and one and in that of his age 66 or thereabouts whereupon his body was buried in the Church of S. Saviour there This person having been of a proud and haughty mind because of his great parts and intimate acquaintance with Archb. Laud and the great Heroes of that time the snivling Presbyterians therefore especially those of his College which he left behind him as Alex. Fisher Ralph Button c. did not stick to report that he died no better than a Brewers Clerk because he often inspected the Accompts of his Sister before mention'd and had a great care of her concerns JOHN ARNWAY a Shropshire man born became a Commoner of S. Edm. Hall in the year 1618 and in that of his age 18 took the degrees in Arts entred into the sacred function and had a cure of Souls bestowed on him At length the Civil Wars breaking forth he adhered to the Kings cause suffer'd much for it in his own Country went after him to Oxon and was actually created D. of D. in 1642 being about that time as I conceive made Archdeacon of Lichf and Coventry in the place of Dr. Ralph Brownrig promoted to the See of Exeter He had then quitted a large fortune to serve his Prince and thereupon was plunder'd by the Rebels and lost his books and papers which he could never recover Afterwards upon the declining of the Kings cause he went to the Hague in Holland and afterwards to Virginia where he died He hath written The Tablet or moderation of Charles the first martyr An Alarum to the Subjects of England A few copies of these two little treatises were both printed together in a small character at the Hague an 1650 afterwards reprinted at Lond. 1661. in oct by the care of Will. Rider sometimes of Mert.

Boyle Baron of Broghill in Ireland Sir Charles Wolseley Sir Rich. Onslow of Surrey c. all Oliver's Lords A little before the Return of K. Ch. 2. he with other Regicides fled beyond the seas and L'isle setling at Losanna he was treated by the Magistracy of that Town as Chancellour of England being always vested with the robe of that dignity At length certain Irish-men taking it as a grand Affront that the people of that place should harbour him as they did Edm. Ludlow Will. Goffe Edward Whaley c. for a time and shew him so much respect and honour as they did one of them ventred upon him as he was going to Church accompanied with the chief Magistracy and shot him with a Musquetoon dead in the place on the 21 of Aug. in sixteen hundred sixty and four Which done two more Irish men rode into the press and trampling on the body of L'isle with their horses feet fled into the Guards and escaped with little hurt Afterwards he was buried with solemnity in the said Church there as I have been credibly informed leaving then behind him a Widow named Alice who for entertaining one Joh. Hicks a Non-conformist Minister and a Follower of James Duke of Monmouth in the time of his Rebellion was for High Treason therefore beheaded at Winchester on the 2 of Sept. 1685. In like manner did before fall one Isaac Dorislaus or Dorislaw a Dutch-man born originally a Schoolmaster and afterwards Doctor of the Civil Law at Leyden Whence coming into England upon no good account was entertained by Fulk Lord Brook and by him appointed to read a History Lecture in Cambridge which he was about to found some years before his death But in his very first Lectures decrying Monarchy was upon the complaint of Dr. Jo. Cosin Master of Peter-house to the Vicechanc. which afterwards came to his Majesties knowledge silenced and about that time marrying an English woman near to Maldon in Essex lived there for some time Afterwards he became Judge Advocate in the King's Army in one of his Expeditions against the Scots Advocate in the Army against the King under Robert Earl of Essex afterwards under Sir Tho. Fairfax and at length one of the Judges of the Court of Admiralty and an Assistant in drawing up and managing the Charge against K. Ch. 1. in order to his Execution I say that this Dorislaus did fall as L'isle afterwards did for he being thought to be the only fit man to be sent by the Parliament as an Envoy to his Country-men to prosecute their designs he arrived at the Hague in good Equipage in the beginning of May 1649 his Majesty K. Ch. 2. being then there in his Exile Which bold and impudent act being much regretted by certain generous Royalists attending his said Majesty about 12 of them in disguise repaired to his Lodging and finding him at supper stab'd him in several places and cut his throat whereupon one of them said Thus dyes one of the Kings Judges This generous Action was performed on the 6 of May or thereabouts but reported by the generality to be performed by one Col. Walt. Whitford Son of Dr. Walt. Whitford of Monckland in Scotland by cleaving his head asunder with a broad sword Afterwards they quietly departed and 't was not known but privately for some time after who did the fact Within few days following this desperate Attempt coming to the knowledge of the Parliament they became so much enraged that they resolved to sacrifice the life of a certain Royalist of note then in their custody and certainly they had done it had he not made a timely escape Afterwards they caused the body of Dorislaus to be conveyed into England and to be buried with solemnity in the Abbey Church at Westminster on the 14 of June following where continuing till Sept. 1661 was then taken up with the bodies of other Cromwellians and buried in a hole in S. Margarets Church-yard adjoyning He hath published as 't is said several things but all that I have seen of his is De praelio Nuportano Lond. 1640. in 4 sheets and half in qu. JAMES LAMB Son of Rich.

Coll was a Communer for a time of Brasn Coll. and as a member thereof took the degree of Bach. of Arts in 1615 and then or soon after translated himself to S. Maries Hall Afterwards he became Chaplain to Thomas Earl of Southampton and after the Kings restoration in 1660 he was not only actually created D. of D. as a member sometimes of the said Hall but for his sufferings as a Loyalist was made Canon of Westminster and Rector of S.

Byfield mentioned under the year 1622 was born in Worcestershire and at 16 years of age in 1615 became either a Servitour or Batler of Queens Coll. in Mich. term Afterwards taking the degrees in Arts he left the University and through some petite employments of which the Curacy or Lectureship of Istleworth was one became Rector of Long Ditton in Surrey a leading man for carrying on the blessed cause a reformer of his Church of Superstition as he called it by plucking up the steps leading to the Altar and levelling it lower than the rest of the Chancel by denying his Parishioners particularly his Patron that gave him L. Ditton the Sacrament unless they would take it any way except kneeling c. He was one of the Assemb of Divines a great Covenantier an eager
beneficial employment he wrot books to his last He had a singular command of his pen whether in verse or prose and was well read in modern Histories especially in those of the Countries wherein he had travelled had a parabolical and allusive fancy according to his motto Senesco non Segnesco But the reader is to know that his writings having been only to gain a livelyhood and by their dedications to flatter great and noble persons are very trite and empty stoln from other authors without acknowledgment and fitted only to please the humours of Novices His works are these Dodena's Grove or the vocal Forest Lond. 1640. 44. qu.

he died on the 10. of March another by Anon. who tells us the 12. of the said month c. but both false HUGH CRESSEY or Cressy son of Hugh Cressey a Counsellour of Lincolns Inn by Margerie his wife dau of Dr. Tho. D'oylie a Physitian of London was born in a market Town in Yorksh called Wakefield descended from an antient and gentile family of his name living sometimes at Holme near Hodsack in Nottinghamshire and being educated in Grammar learning in his native country was at 14 years of age sent to the University of Oxon. in Lent term an 1619 but for want of a vigilant Tutor he lost much time yet having good natural parts did in the fourth year after his coming to the Univ. take the degree of Bach. of Arts and in 1625 being a candidate for a Fellowship of Merton Coll. he was elected Probationer and the year after was made true and perpetual Fellow So that what time and learning he before had lost was by a strict and severe discipline then and there observed recovered and advanced After he had taken the degree of M. of Arts and had entred into holy Orders he became Chaplain to Thom. Lord Wentworth while he was President of the North and afterwards when he was Earl of Strafford but what he obtained from that most noble Lord while he enjoyed that honourable employment I know not In 1638 he went in the quality of a Chaplain as I conceive with his most honoured Lord Lucius Viscount Falkland when he went into Ireland and in the year after returned into England but had nothing then and there conser'd upon him In the latter end of 1642 he became by the favour and interest of the said Viscount then one of the Secretaries of State Canon of Windsore in the room of Dr. Gilb. Primerose deceased but was never installed in that Dignity and much about the same time had the Deanery of Laighlen in Ireland confer'd upon him In which year all things being in a confusion he received no profits from either Dignity So that being destitute of a comfortable subsistance especially in the next year when he lost his most beloved Lord Falkland at Newbury fight he travelled as a Tutor with Charles Berkley Esq afterwards Earl of Falmouth an 1644 and upon a foresight that the Church of England would terminate through the endeavours of the peevish and restless Presbyterians he began to think of setling himself in the Church of Rome At length after mature consideration he renounced his religion and made a publick recantation at Rome of his errours and heresie as they are there called before the Inquisition an 1646. Which being so done he returned to Paris and there published his Motives that induced him to change his religion not that he was so considerable a person that all the World should take notice of it but that he might give some proof both of the mature advice and also reasonableness of his change A certain author tells us that it was not devotion but necessity and want of a subsistence which drove him first out of the Church of England and then into a Monastery And another that he became a Roman Catholick and was insnared to that new choice by the hopes and promise of being to be admitted an idle Drone or Monk in the Charterhouse at Paris where he might live as warmly as lapt all over in Lambskins and like a Bee in a plentiful hive fed with the purest amber honey c. But how such a bait should allure him no man that understands the rules of that order can easily imagine it so to be considering that the Monks thereof spend most of their time whether early or late in prayer in fasting loneness and abstinence from all flesh whatsoever c. Of this I am sure that when he wrot and published his Motives his mind became so humble that it was his eager desire to be a Monk of the English Coll. of Carthusians at Neiuport in Flanders a poor place God wot and very slenderly endowed as the Prior thereof Peter Bilcliff a Yorkshire man born did once tell me But so it was that he being diswaded from that Order because he could never be in a capacity or Master of so much time as to vindicate himself or the Roman Catholick Church by writing he took upon him the habit of the Benedictine Order as I shall anon tell you As soon as his Motives called Exomologesis were made publick he sent a copy into England to his dear friend Dr. Henry Hammond who in a kind letter return'd him thanks for the book and without the least exception against the stile gave this judgment of it that an 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 did privily run through the whole contexture of the book He did not interpret wherein the fallacy consisted but added we are friends and I do not purpose to be your Antagonist At the end of the letter he kindly invited him into England assuring him that he should be provided of a convenient place to dwell in and a sufficient subsistence to live comfortably and withal that not any one should molest him about his religion and conscience Our author Cressey had reason to believe that the said invitation was an effect of a cordial friendship and he was also inform'd that he was well enabled to make good his promise as having the disposal of great charities and being a very charitable man himself Yet rendring such thanks as gratitude required of him he told him that he could not accept of so very kind an offer being engaged almost by vow to leave all pretensions to the World and to embrace poverty for his portion Besides also such a friend as this he had many more several near his Majesty among whom one especially there was of the highest rank to whom formerly upon the rebellion in Ireland he being destitute of a present subsistance he did acknowledge all gratitude due for by his care alone he was provided of a condition both honorable and comfortable So that if he had lost all other friends he had reason to assure himself he would have freely contributed rather than extremity of want should have forced him to quit the world But to return while he continued at Paris Henrietta Maria the Queen of England was very civil to him and being about to leave that place she assign'd him an hundred crowns to furnish him in his journey towards a Monastery Afterwards upon an invitation he went to Doway took upon him the habit of the Benedictine order in the Coll of the English Monks of that Order there And being setled he changed his name from Hugh Paulin which he received at the Font in Wakefield Church to Serenus de Cressy lived according to their discipline for 7 years or more and afterwards became one of the Mission in England At length upon the Kings Marriage with Catherine the Infanta of Portugal he became one of her Servants
Viaticum from the hands of Dr. Alex. Monro Principal of K. James's Coll. at Edinburgh and his colleague in S. Giles's Church named Dr. John Strachan Professor of Div. at Edinb did assist after the manner of the Church of England They and several other Ministers and Layicks communicating then with him he regretted with tears the overthrowing of their Church saying he never thought to have outlived the Church of Scotland yet hoped others should live to see it restored c. His Father Will. Annand before mentioned lived very obscurely divers years after he came into England But at length obtaining the Vicaridge of Throwley in Kent 1649 and afterwards the rectory of Leveland in the same County the Usurper then ruling he caused his Son to be educated in learning in a good condition RICHARD SHERLOCK was born at Oxton in Cheshire and originally as 't is said a Student in Magd. Hall where he obtained a part of Acad. learning Thence he was translated to Trin. Coll. near Dublin where he proceeded Master of Arts in 1633 entred into the sacred function and soon after became Minister of several small Parishes in Ireland united together and yeilding no more than 8O l. per an At length upon the breaking out of the rebellion in that Country he journied into England and became Chaplain to a Regiment of his Majesties forces at Namptwich in Cheshire But that place being taken by the Parliament forces in Jan. 1643 he retired to Oxon where he became Chaplain to the Governour of the Garrison there and at length by the favour of Dr. Pink Warden of New College he was made one of the Chaplains of that House much about the time that P. Gunning and Is Barrow were made Chaplains also In 1646 he had the degree of Bach. of Div. confer'd on him in consideration of several Sermons that he preached either at Court or before the Parliament in Oxon but in the year 1648 or thereabouts being thrown out of his Chaplains place by the Visitors he became Curat for Dr. Jasp Mayne in an obscure Village called Cassington near Woodstock in Oxfordshire who allowing him 16 l. per an for his pains for the Vicaridge there is esteemed to be worth but 50 l. yearly he gave a good part thereof away to the poor of that place At length leaving that Cure upon the ejection of the Doctor about 1652 he went into Lancashire became Chaplain to Sir Rob. Bindlosse of Borwick hall in the Parish of Warton Bt where as long as he continued he was very much troubled with the People called Quakers against whom he wrot several things as I shall tell you anon After the restauration of K. Ch. 2 an 1660 he was made Doctor of Div. of the Univ. of Dublin and about that time by the favour of his honorable Patron Charles E. of Derby whose Chaplain he was Rector of Winwick in Lancashire a place among other fat benefices of England of greatest name He was a person of a most pious life exemplary conversation of great charity hospitality and so zealous a man for the Church of England that he was accounted by precise persons popishly affected and a Papist in Masquerade He hath written and published The Quakers wild questions objected against the Ministers of the Gospel c. briefly answered Lond. 1654. oct 1656. qu.

Frankland desiring them withall that they would certifie the President and Community of the Coll. of Physitians that he was no Doctor of Phys of their University which they accordingly did in Nov. 1677.
