To the indictment hereupon he prays counsel might be allowed to him to plead the illegality of it which being denied him by the Judges and the sentence of a Mute threatned he at length gave into Court his exceptions ingrossed in parchment and with much strugling had counsel allowed him But Oliver the Protector well knowing it was not for the interest of his government either to have him condemned or absolv'd took him out of the hands of the law caused him to be detain'd in Prison with intentions to bestow him elsewhere At length several prime Persons of the Anabaptistical party remaining in London some of whom as 't is said had entertained his opinions drawing up a petition in his behalf in the month of Sept. an 1655 presented it to Oliver to obtain his mercy towards him under pretence of liberty of conscience On the 28. of the same month they were to receive an answer to it but before the said Oliver gave one the Petition was read in the hearing of divers of them under whose hands it had been presented which being done many of them did disown it as being alter'd both in the matter and title of since they signed it and so looked upon it as a forged thing They then desired that the original which they had signed might be produced but Jerem. Ives and some other of the contrivers and presenters of it were not able to do nor had any thing to say in excuse of so foul a miscarriage However his Highness Oliver did then open before them the great evil of such a practice and also how inconsistent it was for them who professed to be members of the Church of Christ and to worship him with the worship due to God to give any countenance to one who reproached themselves and all the Christian Churches in the World as being guilty of Idolatry shewing also that if it be true which Biddle holds viz. that Jesus Christ is but a creature then all those that worship him with the worship due to God are Idolaters and that the maintainers of that opinion of Biddle are guilty of great blasphemy against Christ who is God equal with the Father c. Afterwards the Petitioners being dismiss'd and Biddle understanding his doom he wrot a Letter to Oliver that he would be pleased to admit him into his presence for the hearing of his case But being denied and Oliver continually baited by Presb. and Indep Ministers to have him banished he the said Biddle as a reviver of the blasphemous opinion owned by Arrius was removed from Newgate to Plymouth 10.

Arnoldus Professor of Divinity in Franeker in West-Frisen in the latter end of his Preface to the Reader before his book entit Religio Sociniana seu Catethesis Rucoviana major c. As for Maresius he is very large against him and deplores the sad condition of England that after all the contests that it hath had against the Hierarchy Arminianisme Popery and I know not what should at length be overwhelm'd with Socinianisme all sort of Sectaries Atheisme c. Which character as falling from the Pen of a Person well known to be no friend to Episcopacy seems to be a considerable argument to prove even in his perswasion that the pretended strictness and severity of the then established Church Government was not so an effectual remedy against all Libertisme in opinions and practice as was the Episcoparian Government then lately thrown out of doors After Biddle had continued Prisoner not without improvement as to and in his opinion to the beginning of the year 1658 he by the intercession of many friends was conveyed from S. Maries Castle by Habeas Corpus to the Upper Bench at Westm where appearing without any thing laid to his charge was set at liberty by the L. Ch. Justice Jo. Glynn While he was in Prison where the Protector allowed him a hundred Crowns per an for his subsistance he solely gave himself up to the studying of several intricate matters and of the various opinions concerning the Beast in the Apocalyps Antichrist and the personal raign of Christ on Earth which being digested according to his mind he explain'd them after his return in Conventicles held every Sunday in the afternoon before his Disciples Which being done he published them with this or the like title Learned notes on some of the Chapters of the Apocolyps Or thus An Essay to the explaining of the Revelation When or where printed or in what Vol. I know not for I have not yet seen them or it After Olivers death and Richard set in the Throne a Parliament was called mostly consisting of Presbyterians whom of all men he most dreaded Whereupon by the advice of a noble friend then in Authority he caused Biddle for whom he had a respect to be conveyed away privately into the Country where remaining till that Parliament was dissolved which was soon after he returned to the City and carried on his Conventicles and Disputes for some time without contradiction At length his Majest Ch. 2. being restored to his Dominions and with him the Church of England he took other measures held his meetings more private and but seldom However his waters being narrowly watch'd he was taken in the house of a certain Citizen while he was conventicling in the beginning of July 1662 whereupon being carried before Sir Rich.

Afterwards entring into holy orders he supplied for a time the Divinity Lecturers place in the Cath. of S. Paul in London where behaving himself with great credit and applause far above his years came to the cognisance of that great encourager of learning ingenuity and virtue Dr. Laud Archb. of Cant. who thinking it for the advantage of the world that such mighty parts should be afforded better opportunities of study and improvement than a course or constant preaching would allow of he caused him to be elected Fellow of All 's Coll. an 1636 Where being setled love and admiration still waited upon him while he improved himself much in Books But this the Reader is to know that tho he came in meerly by the paramount interest of the said Archb yet it was done against the statutes of the Coll in these two respects First because he had exceeded the age with in which the said statutes make Candidates capable of being elected and secondly that he had not been of three years standing in the University of Oxon only a week or two before he was put in However he being a Person of most wonderful parts and like to be an ornament thereunto he was dispenced with and thereby obtained in that house much of that learning wherewith he was enabled to write casuistically About the same time he was in a ready way to be confirmed a member of the Church of Rome as many of that perswasion have said but upon a Sermon delivered in S. Maries Church in Oxon on the 5. of Nov. Gun-powder-treason day an 1638 wherein several things were put in against the Papists by the then Vicechanc he was afterwards rejected with scorn by those of that party particularly by Fr. à S. Clara his intimate acquaintance to whom afterwards he expressed some sorrow for those things he had said against them as the said S. Clara hath several times told me About that time he became one of the Chaplains to the said Archb. of Cant who bestowed upon him the rectory of Uppingham in Rutlandshire and other matters he would have done for him in order to his advance in the Church had not the rebellion unluckily broke out In the year 1642 he was with others by virtue of his Maj. letters sent to this University actually created D. of D. in that noted Convocation held on the first day of Nov. the same year he being then Chaplain in Ord. to his said Majesty and a frequent Preacher before him and the Court in Oxon. Afterwards he attended in his Majesties Army in the condition of a Chaplain where tho he had not a command of his time and books yet he laid the foundation of several Treatises in defence of Episcopacy the Liturgy Ministry and Church of England Upon the declining of the Kings cause he retired into Wales where he was suffer'd under the Loyal Earl of Carbury of the Golden Grove in Caermerthenshire to officiat and keep School to maintain him and his Children From which tho it continued but a few years were several youths most loyally educated and afterwards sent to the Universities In this solitude he began to write his excellent discourses which are enough of themselves to furnish a Library and will be famous to all succeeding generations for the exactness of wit profoundness of judgment richness of fancy clearness of expression copiousness of invention and general usefulness to all the purposes of a Christian By which he soon after got a great reputation among all Persons of judgment and indifferences and his name grew greater still as the world grew better and wiser When he had spent some years in this retirement in a private corner as 't were of the world his family was visited with sickness and thereby lost the dear pledges or Gods favour three sons of great hopes within the space of two or three months And tho he had learned a quiet submission unto the divine will yet the affliction touched him so sensibly that it made him desirous to leave the Country And going to London he there for a time officiated in a private Congregation of Loyalists to his great hazard and danger At length meeting with Edward Lord Conway a Person of great honour and generosity that Lord after he had understood his condition made him a kind profer which our author Taylor embracing it carried him over into Ireland and setled him at Portmore a place made for study and contemplation which he therefore dearly loved And there he wrot his Cases of conscience a book that is able alone to give its author immortality By this time the wheel of providence brought about the Kings happy restauration and out of a confused Chaos beauty and order began to appear Whereupon our loyal Author went over to congratulate the Prince and Peoples happiness and bear a part in the universal triumph It was not long after his sacred Majesty began the settlement of the Church and Dr. Taylor being resolved upon for the Bishoprick of Downe and Connor was consecrated thereunto at Dublin on the 27. of January 1660 and on the 21. of June 1661 he had the administration of the See of Dromore granted to him by his Majesty in consideration that he had been the Churches Champion and that he had suffer'd much in defence of its cause With what care and faithfulness he discharged his office all upon the place knew well and what good rules and directions he gave to his Clergy and how he taught them the practice of them by his own example Upon his being made Bishop he was constituted a Privy Counsellor and the University of Dublin gave him their testimony by recommending him for their Vicechancellor which honorable office he kept to his dying day He was esteemed by the generality of persons a compleat Artist accurate Logician exquisite quick and acute in his reasonings a Person of great fluency in his language and of prodigious readiness in his learning A noted Presbyterian also his Antagonist doth ingeniously confess that Dr. Taylor is a man of admirable wit great parts hath a quick and elegant pen is of abilities in critical learning and of profound skill in antiquity c. and another who knew him well tells us that he was a rare Humanist and hugely vers'd in all the polite parts of learning and had throughly concocted all the antient Moralists Greek and Roman Poets and Orators and was not unacquainted with the refined wits of the later ages whether French or Italian c.

His father named Sam. Butler was a person of a fair estate near 300 l. per an but most of it lease-lands held of Sir Tho. Russell Grandfather to Sir Franc. Russell Bt Lord of the Mannour of Strensham before mention'd The son Sam. Butler whom we are farther to mention was educated in Grammar learning in the Coll. School at Worcester under Mr. Hen. Bright and from thence went as his brother now living affirms to the University of Cambridge yet others of the neighbourhood say to Oxon but whether true I cannot tell Sure I am that one Sam. Butler was elected from Westm school a Student of Ch. Ch. an 1623 but making little stay there he was not matriculated and so consequently the place of his nativity and age are not remaining on record otherwise had he been made a member of the University we
admitted Scholar of Corp. Ch. Coll. on the 4 of Oct. the same year and afterwards Fellow and M. of A. About which time taking holy Orders he became Minister of Bushy in Hertfordshire but his title to the Rectory being weak he changed it with Dr. Seaton for the Church of Kingston upon Thames in Surrey In 1634 he took the degrees in Divinity and being puritanically affected he sided with the Presbyterians in the beginning of the civil distempers was made one of the Assembly of Divines 1643 became a frequent Preacher within the City of London and sometimes before the members of the Long Parliament In 1648 he was for the services done for the cause constituted President of Corp. Ch. Coll. by the authority then in being and so long as he kept that place he shewed himself a zealous brother for the carrying on of the Presbyterian discipline Soon after he took the oath called the Engagement as before he had done the Covenant but upon the restoration of K. Ch. 2. being ejected to make room for him whose bread he had eaten for 12 years he retired to a Market Town in Hertfordshire called Rickmansworth where exercising his function among the Brethren till S. Barthelmews day an 1662 was then silenced for Nonconformity He hath published Several Sermons as 1 Rupes Israelis the rock of Israel preached at S. Marg.

Fulman of C. C. Coll. Sam. Clark in his collection of printed lives 1683 involves all or most of that written by Mayow without taking any notice of the Appendix either because he had not seen it or that it was too satyrical or made much against the Doctor as it doth with unquestionable veracity Mayow was sometimes Minister of Kingston upon Thames but ejected thence for nonconformity 1662 and was author of a book called A treatise of closet prayer Pr. in oct MERIC CASAUBON son of the most learned Isaac son of Arnold Casaubon by Joanna Rosseau his Wife which Isaac married the Daughter of Henry Son of Rob. Stephan both eminent men of their times as their works manifest This Person Mer. Casaubon whom we are now to mention who was descended from both sides of learned Parents was born within the City of Geneva in France in the month of Sept. 1599 and at 9 years of age being brought into England by his Father was instructed by a private Master till 1614 at which time he was sent to Ch. Ch. in this University where being put under a most careful Tutor Dr. Edw. Ã Meetkirk the Kings Hebr. Professor was soon after elected Student of that House and afterwards making a very considerable progress in Logick and Philosophy took the degrees in Arts that of Master being compleated in 1621 at which time he was much noted for his sufficiences in the arts and sciences In the same year tho he was then young he published a Book in defence of his Father against the calumnies of a certain Rom. Catholick as I shall tell you in the Catalogue following Which making him known to K. Jam. 1 he ever afterwards had a good opinion of him That book brought him also into credit abroad especially in France whence he had offers and invitations for some promotion there his Godfather Meric de Vic sometimes Governor of Calis being then or soon after Lord Keeper of the Great Seal of that Kingdom The next book that he published was Vindicatio patris c. written by command of K. James in defence of his Father and the Church of England against the Puritans of those days of which book he gave a farther account in his Necessity of reformation About that time he being beneficed in Somersetshire at Bledon by the favour of Dr. Andrews B. of Winton and Bach. of Div. did chiefly design to go on where his Father had left off against Baronius his Annals but was diverted by some accidental occasions or provocations At length when he came to maturity of years for such a work and had acquainted Archb. Laud his great friend and patron with his design who was very ready to place him conveniently in Oxon or Lond. according to his desire to the end that he might be furnished with books necessary for such a purpose the troubles and divisions began in England so that he having no certain place was forced to sell a good part of his books and in conclusion after 20 years sufferings more or less he was grown so old and crazy in body that he could not expect to live many years and thereupon was forced to give over that project Some years after his publication of the said two books he was made Prebendary of Canterbury by the favour of Dr. Laud if I mistake not Rector of Ickham 4 miles distant thence and in 1636 he was actually created Doct. of Div. by command from his Majesty when he and his Queen were entertained by the muses there In the beginning of the Civil War that followed he lost all his spiritual promotions and lived retiredly with that little he had left In 1649 one Mr. Greaves of Greys Inn an intimate acquaintance with our Author Casaubon brought him a message from Ol. Cromwell then Lieu. General of the Parliament forces to bring him to Whitehall to confer with him about matters of moment but his Wife being then lately dead and not as he said buried he desired to be excused Afterwards Greaves came again and our author being in some disorder for it fearing that evil might follow he desired to tell him the meaning of the matter but Greaves refusing went away the second time At length
office he lick'd his fingers sufficiently and in the year after he was constituted an Assistant to the Commissioners of London appointed by Parliament for the ejecting of ignorant and scandalous Ministers and School-Masters as they were then by the godly party so called In 1659. Nov. 1. he with Whally Goffe c. began their journey towards Scotland to give George Monke General of the Army there a right understanding of affairs in England in order to the avoiding effusion of more blood but they returned unsatisfied and on the 14. of March following he was with Edw. Reynolds and others appointed by Act of Parliament to approve of and admit Ministers according to the Presbyterian way But that being null'd at the Kings restauration he receeded to his cure at S. Magnus where he continued till the Act of Uniformity ejected him His works are these Several Sermons as 1 The works of Ephesus explained in a Serm. before the House of Commons at their solemn Fast 27.

Martins lane near Canon street in London sometimes Chaplain to one of the Sheriffs of that City who for his Conformity to the Ch. of England and for wearing a Surplice which he began to do on the 21 of Sept. 1662 after he had often said among the brethren he would rather burn than conform c. as the Author of the said Mirab. an saith it pleased the Lord as he further adds to strike him with sickness which proved a violent burning feaver whereof within a few days after before another Lords day came about he died c.

Mary the Great called Aldermary in London Canon of Windsore in 1639 and Rector of Oddington in Oxfordshire But upon the breaking out of the grand Rebellion he being forced from his Church in London by the impetuous Presbyterians he retired to his Majesty to whom he was Chaplain at Oxford By virtue of whose letters he was actually created Doct. of Div. in Feb. 1642 having then only the profits of Oddington coming in to maintain him Afterwards he lost all for his Loyalty lived partly beyond the Seas in the condition of Chaplain to Mary Princess of Orange at which time he became acquainted with divers learned men in Holland and suffered equally as other generous Royalists did After the return of his Majesty he was restored to what he had lost kept some of his Spiritualities especially Windsore to the time of his death without any other promotion in the Church He hath written and published A copy of the Sermon preached before the University at S.

Hall in the beginning of Lent term an 1617 aged 15 years where in short time after he shewed himself a most excellent Disputant a person of incomparable parts and well vers'd in the Greek and Hebrew Languages In 1623 he was appointed Catechisme Lecturer of the said Hall in the place of Will. Pemble deceased whose Pupil he had been and the next year proceeding M. of A he became a noted Tutor there About that time he entred into holy Orders and shortly after was esteem'd so famous for his preaching that he was much courted to be one of the Lecturers at S. Martins Ch. commonly called Carfax in Oxon which cure he at length taking was much followed for his excellent Sermons especially by the puritanical party who held him in great admiration In 1630 he left the University and became a Preacher in the City of Worcester and the next year after he was admitted to the reading of the Sentences But he continuing at Worcester not long he went by vertue of a call to Leonminster commonly called Lemster a Market Town in Herefordshire of which place he became Vicar beloved of the Parishioners and Neighbourhood and resorted to far and near for his familiar and practical way of preaching As it was suspected while he was in Oxon so was it at Lemster and elsewhere confidently believed that he would in time having no preferment given to him sutable to his merits do a great deal of mischief to the Church of England as most great Scholars have done for want of it In the year 1641 when the restless fury of the Presbyterians vented out into a dismal rebellion this our author sided with them and in the following year when Nath. Fiennes managed Bristow for the Parliament and made mad work there in ejecting loyal Citizens from the Corporation and Orthodox Ministers from the Church he upon invitation came in to him and thereupon he and his followers made him Minister of Allsaints Church in the place of one Williamson an Orthodox man then ejected While he continued there which was till Aug. 1643 at which time the City was surrendred to the Kings party he did a great deal of hurt by his schismatical preaching Afterwards going to London he became Master of the Temple where he preached against the errors of the Antinomians ex male intellectâ doctrina as he says de justificatione peccatoris c. But being supplanted of that place by Rich. Johnson sometimes of Bras Coll. an 1647 he went to Beaudley at what time Mr. Rich. Baxter preached at Kidderminster another Market Town about three miles distant from that place And 't is verily thought that he was put upon the project of going there purposely to tame Baxter and his party who then carried all the Country before them They preached against one anothers doctrines Tombes being then a Preacher at Beaudley which he kept with Lemster newly restored to him being before forced thence by the royal party and published books against each other Tombes was the Coryphaeus of the Anabaptists and Baxter of the Presbyterians Both had a very great company of auditors who came many miles on foot round about to admire them Once I think oftner they disputed face to face and their followers were like two Armies And at last it came so to pass that they fell together by the ears whereby hurt was done and the Civil Magistrate had much ado to quiet them All Scholars there and then present who knew the way of disputing and managing arguments did conclude that Tombes got the better of Baxter by far In the year 1653 he being then as before frequently in London he was by ordinance appointed one of the Triers for the approbation of publick Ministers but what preferment he got by that employment which most of them had obtained I find not unless it was the Parsonage of Rosse and the Mastership of the Hospital at Ledbury both in Herefordshire which he kept with Lemster and Beaudley About the year 1658 he married Elizabeth the Widow of Wolstan Abbot of the City of Salisbury by whom enjoying an Estate lived mostly there to the time of his death At the Kings restauration in 1660 when he then saw to what a woful condition this poor Nation of England had been brought unto by restless men and their several opinions as to religion he willingly submitted sided with the Royal party but yet would never accept of either Benefice or Dignity which was offer'd to him Set aside his Anabaptistical Positions he was conformable enough to the Church of England would frequently go to Common prayers and receive the Sacrament at Salisbury and often visit Dr. Ward Bishop of that place who respected Tombes for his learning Dr. Sanderson sometimes the learned Bishop of Linc. had a great esteem for him and so had one of his successors Dr. Barlow but the same respect that the last bore to our author the same he paid to all of what sect soever that were learned In 1664 he was present at the Oxford Act and there in the Vespers he did modestly challenge to maintain against any person certain Anabaptistical Tenents but none there did think it then convenient to grapple with him and the rather for this reason that he had made those matters his study for more than 30 years and that none ever before went beyond him He seemed to many to be a very pious and zealous Christian and would never be violent especially in his latter days against any party that was opposite to his opinion but be charitable and complesant His body was little and neat limb'd he had a quick searching eye and was so exceeding apprehensive that he would find out the end upon the first entry of the Disputes He hath written and published Several Sermons as 1 Vae Scandalizantium or a treatise of scandalizing c. preached at Lemster in Herefordsh on Luke 17.1.2 Oxon. 1641. oct 2 Jehovah Jireth or Gods providence in delivering the godly in two Sermons in Bristol on a Thanksgiving day 14.

Vane and to express his gratitude to him who relieved him when he was a child and after and that because the quarrels and animosities grew high betwixt the Presbyterians and Sir H. Vane's Friends he sided therefore with him My youth saith he and other circumstances incapacited me from rendring him any great services but all that I did and all that I wrot had no other aim nor do I care how much any man can inodiate my former Writings as long as that they were subservient to him c. The truth is all that knew him here in Oxon knew this of him for certain that he was no frequenter of Conventicles no taker of the Covenant or Engagement no contracter of acquaintance with notorious Sectaries that he neither enriched or otherwise advanced himself during the late troubles or shared the common odium and dangers or prosperity of his Benefactor Some years after the Kings restauration he took pet against the Royal Society for which before he had a great veneration and being encouraged by Dr. Jo. Fell no admirer of that Society became in his Writings an inveterate Enemy against it for several pretended reasons among which were first that the members thereof intended to bring a contempt upon antient and solid Learning upon Aristotle to undermine the Universities and reduce them to nothing or at least to be very inconsiderable Secondly that at long running to destroy the established Religion and involve the Nation in Popery and I know not what c. So dextrous was his pen whether pro or con that few or none could equal answer or come near him He was a person of most admirable parts had a most prodigious memory tho his enemies would not acknowledge it but said he read Indexes was the most noted Latinist and Greecian of his age and after he had been put upon it was so great an enemy to the Virtuosi of his time I mean those of the R. Society that as he saith they alarm'd him with dangers and troubles even to the hazard of his life and fortunes He was a singular Mathematician and thoroughly read in all political matters Councils ecclesiastical and profane Histories He had a voluble tongue and was very seldom known to hesitate either in publick disputes or common discourse His Voice was big and magisterial and his mind was equal to it He was of a high generous nature scorn'd money and riches and the adorers of them which being natural to him was one of the chief reasons why he hated the Presbyterians whom he always found to be false undermining poor spirited void of generous souls sneaking sniveling c. He was accounted a very good Physitian and excellent for those matters that compleat it as Simpling Anatomy and Chymistry and in the times of Usurpation that is while Oliver and Richard ruled when then he thought it the Nations interest to subvert the true Monarchy of England he was passionately addicted to the new Philosophy and motion'd several ways for the introducing it amongst the Gentry and Youth of this Nation and the reason was as he l saith that it would render all the Clergy contemptible lessen the esteem and reverence in the Church and make them seem egregious Fools in matters of common discourse But as he was so admirably well qualified with several sorts of Learning and a generous Spirit so he was very unhappy in this that he was extream rash and imprudent and wanted common discretion to manage his parts He was a very bold man utter'd any thing that came into his mind not only among his Companions but in publick Coffey-houses of which he was a great frequenter and would often speak his mind of particular persons then accidentally present without examining the company he was in for which he was often repremanded and several times threatned to be kick'd and beaten He had a hot and restless head his hair being carret-colour'd and was ever ready to undergo any enterprize which was the chief reason that macerated his body almost to a Skeleton He was also a person of no fix'd Principles and whether he believed those things which every good Christian doth 't is not for me to resolve Had he been endowed with common sobriety and discretion and not have made himself and his learning mercenary and cheap to every ordinary and ignorant Fellow he would have been admired by all and might have pick'd and choos'd his Preferment But all these things being wanting he became a ridicule and undervalued by sober and knowing Scholars and others too His Writings and Translations are these Horae subsecivae seu Prophetiae Jonae Historiae Susannae paraphrasis Graeca versibus heroicis Lond. 1651. oct To which are added his Translation into Greek of Miscellanea quaedam Epigrammata à Th.

grave or jocose as also noted for one whose extraordinary parts and indefatigable industry and study promised great things After he was Master of Arts he took upon him the cure of Little S. Maries Church in Cambridge chosen to it by the Master and Fellows of Peter House all Colleges being ambitious some way or other to make him theirs When the grand rebellion began or at least about to begin he was very zealous in opposing the attempts of the then spreading Schism and troubles and did not forbear to protest publickly against the faction when it was most formidable In a Sermon also at S. Maries in Cambr. he vehemently and convincingly urged the University to publish a formal protestation against the rebellious League And being occasionally about that time in Kent upon a short visit to his mother lately then a widow he was hunted about and forced to lye in Woods and at length was imprison'd for having assisted some Forces belonging to the King at Tunbridge with the charity he had moved a neighbouring Congregation to by two Sermons Thence he was forced to his College to take the Covenant which he resolutely denying so to do was thrown out of his Fellowship and soon after one John T ... n who took it was put therein But before he left Cambridge he with Mr. Barrow afterwards B. of S. Asaph Mr. Ward afterwards B. of Salisbury and Mr. John Barwick with two or three others did write a resolute and well pen'd Treatise against the Covenant which was afterwards published In the beginning of the year 1644 if not before he with the said Mr. Barrow his great companion and fellow-sufferer journied to Oxon then his Majesties head-quarter and being forthwith made known to that most worthy patron of learning Dr. Rob. Pink Warden of New Coll he entred them Chaplains of that House where they had lodging and diet In July the same year Mr. Gunning was incorporated Master of Arts of this University but whether Mr. Barrow was or took any other degree it appears not in the publick register About the same time Mr. Gunning became Curat for Mr. Jasp Mayne at Cassington four Miles North-west distant from Oxon in which service continuing about two years he endured several affronts and abuses by the Parliamentarian Soldiers from Abendon and elsewhere either by interrupting him with base Language or by pulling him out of the Church Besides the constant duty at New Coll. and his reading Prayers and Preaching every Sunday at Cassington he somtimes preached either before the King or Parliament sitting at Oxon. In consideration of which he was one of those many that had the degree of Bach. of Div. confer'd upon him and accordingly he was admitted on the day before the Garrison of Oxon was surrendred for the use of the Parliament So that he having been incorporated and afterwards admitted to a superior degree with us is the reason why I now put him among the Oxford Writers tho indeed Cambridge is more properly his Mother After the surrender of Oxon. he undertook the charge and tuition of Christopher afterwards Lord Hatton and Sir Franc. Compton in both whom he instill'd most excellent Principles of Loyalty Afterwards he was Chapl. to Sir Rob. Shirley father of Rob. which last was made Lord Ferrers of Chartley who setled on him about an 100 l per an for his life being more particularly moved thereunto for his great abilities and the learning which he shew'd in the silencing a Popish Priest with whom he held two or three set disputations for the satisfaction of his Patron and others that engaged him in them Not long after Sir Rob. Shirley dyed in the Tower having been committed to that place for his Loyalty so that thereupon Mr. Gunning betaking himself to the holding a constant Congregation in the Chappel at Exeter house in the Strand did by his reading the English Liturgy Preaching and administring assert the cause of the Church of England with great pains and courage when the Parliament was most predominant And his Sermons and Prayers being performed very regularly according to the antient usuage of the Church great numbers of well affected and honest people flocked to them as others did to other Loyal Preachers in several parts in and near the City of London whereby thousands being confirmed in the communion of the Church of England as in other parts of the Nation was thereby frustrated and taken away the groundless reproach cast upon the true Protestants by the Romanists that their Church was lost Besides these his Labours for which he was often sent for and reprov'd by the Usurper Oliver he would on the week days look out all sorts of Sectaries and dispute with them openly in their own Congregations Nor was there any considerable Sect whether Presbyterian Independent Anabaptist Quaker Brownist Socinian c. but that he held with them some time or other a set publick disputation in defence of the Church of England About the time of the Kings restauration he was posses'd of the Rectories of Cotesmore in the County of Rutland and of Stoke-Brewen in Northamptonshire which he long before had title to but kept out for his Loyalty The Vicaridge of S. Martin in the Fields in Westminster was first design'd him and a Prebendship of Canterbury The last he had but the other not as being thought more for the service of the publick to fix him for a while in the University of Cambridge where being first made D. of D. and Master of Corp. Ch. Coll. and soon after of S. Johns he was for a little while Margaret Professor and as soon as Dr. Ant. Tuckney was removed he was made Reg. Professor of Divinity as the fittest man for that Chaire that could be then chosen to settle the University right in their Principles again after many corruptions had crept in there by means of the Rebellion I say that he did not only succeed the said Tuckney in the Divinity Chaire but also in the Mastership of S. Johns Coll who having been lawfully ejected from both as having had no right title to either yet such was the goodness of Dr. Gunning that he allowed him a very considerable annuity during his life Which act of his being excellent and singular is here remembred to his everlasting fame and the rather for this reason that no Presbyterian or Independent was ever known to allow any Loyallist whose places they had occupied for several years the least farthing but rather rejected and avoided them vilified scorn'd and exposed them to the Plebeians as empty formal and starch'd nothings These things I have known and do remember them as done in this University and the like without all doubt was used at Cambridge and yet so it is that some of the dreggs of these men that yet remain among us have not been content with the Kings clemency to keep their places to this day but take all occasions upon the least interruption in the Nation to breed faction
Gregory wrot a whole book De cura Pastorali to tell us it should be done By which means he ever obtained the love and respects of the City of Coventry and his ends for their good amongst the Citizens thereof Of his integrity and courage also they farther add this instance viz. In the year 1648 when Oliv. Cromwell then Lieut. Gen. of the forces in England was at Coventry upon his March towards London the said Ob. Grew took his opportunity to represent to him the wickedness of the design then more visibly on foot for taking off the King and the sad consequences thereof should it take effect earnestly pressing him to use his endeavours to prevent it and had his promise for it And afterwards when the design was too apparent he wrot a letter to him to the same purpose and to mind him of his promise Which letter was conveyed by an honest Gent. since Mayor and Alderman of Coventry now or lately living to a Messenger then waiting at Whitehall and by him delivered into Cromwells own hand c. In 1651 he accumulated the degrees in Divinity and in the next year he compleated that of Doctor by standing in the Act much about which time he preached the Concio ad clerum with applause In 1654 he was appointed one of the Assistants to the Commissioners of Warwickshire for the ejection of such whom they then called scandalous ignorant and insufficient Ministers and Schoolmasters and continued after till his Majesties restauration in good repute among the Precisians He hath written A Sinners justification by Christ or the Lord Jesus Christ our righteousness Delivered in several Sermons on Jer. 23.6 Lond. 1670. oct Meditations upon our Saviours parable of the prodigal son being several sermons on the 15 Chapter of S.

Michael in Coventry What other things he hath written that are fit for the Press I know not nor any thing else of him only that he died on the 22 of Octob. in sixteen hundred eighty and nine and that his body was buried in the Chancel of the said Church of S. Michael This Divine was the Father of Dr. Nehemiah Grew a Physitian of good note and practice in London whose publish'd works are so well known and valued that divers of them have been translated into Latin and French by learned forraigners and many eminent persons both at home and abroad have returned him their thanks with great respect and it is believed that he hath still much under his consideration relating both to Philosophy and the practice of Physick Among several things that he hath written and published are 1 Musaeum Regalis Societatis Or a description of the natural and artificial Rarities belonging to the Royal Societie and preserved at Gresham Coll. Lond. 1681. fol. 2 The Anatomy of the History of Plants and Vegetables Lond. 1683. fol. c. JOHN GOAD son of Joh. G. of Bishopsgate street in London was born in St. Helens Parish there 15 Febr. 1615 educated in Merchant Taylors School elected Scholar of S. Johns Coll. and admitted in his due course and order by the just favour of Dr. Juxon the then President an 1632. Afterwards he became Fellow Master of Arts Priest and in 1643 Vicar of S. Giles's Church in the North Suburb of Oxon by the favour of the Pres and Fellows of his College where continuing his duty very constant during the time that the Garrison was besieged by the Parliament Forces did undergoe great dangers by Canon Bullets that were shot from their Camp adjoyning in the time of Divine Service On the 23. of June 1646 he was presented to the Vicaridge of Yarnton near Oxon by the Chancellour and Masters of this University by vertue of an Act of Parliament begun at Westm 5. Nov. 3. Jac. 1 disinabling Recusants from presenting to Church Livings and in the year following he was in consideration of his Sermons preached either before the King or Parliament at Oxon or both actually created Bach. of Divinity In 1648 he was sollicited by Dr. Franc. Cheynell one of the Visitors appointed to visit the University of Oxon to return to his College and Fellowship he having heard of and partly known the great worth and merit of him but because he would not conform himself to the new Directory he refused to go and with much ado keeping Yarnton till the Kings restauration did then contrary to his friends expectation take the offer of Tunbridge School in Kent But being scarce setled there he was in July 1661 made chief Master of Merchant Taylors School in London In which place continuing with good success and great applause till Apr. 1681 at which time the great and factious City was posses'd by the restless Presbyterian Ministers of the sudden introduction to Popery among them he was summoned to appear before the chief Heads of the Society of Merchant Taylors In obedience to which summons he appearing and then charged with certain passages savouring of Popery in his Comment on the Church of England Catechisme which he had made for the use of his Scholars he was by them discharged with a considerable gratuity in Plate from them The particulars of this affair being too many for this place you may see them at large in a Postcript to a book entit Contrivances of the Fanatical Conspirators in carrying on the treasons under umbrage of the Popish-Plot laid open with Depositions c.

HENRY WILKINSON junior commonly called Dean Harry son of Will. Wilk of Adwick or Adwickstreet in the West Riding of Yorkshire Priest was born there an 1616 instructed mostly in Grammar learning in Edw. Sylvesters School in Allsaints Parish within the City of Oxon entred a Communer of Magd. Hall in 1631 took the degrees in Arts entred into holy Orders and became a noted Tutor in and moderator or Dean of his House At length upon the eruption of the Civil War in 1642 he left the University adher'd to the Parliament party took the Covenant and became a forward and frequent preacher among them After the Garrison of Oxon was surrendred to the Parliament Forces he returned to the University and by the authority of the then dominant party he was created Bach of Divinity made Principal of his Hall and Moral Philosophy Reader of the University Afterwards we find him one of the most frequent and active preachers among the Presbyterians in the University whether at S. Maries S. Martin commonly called Carfax S. Pet. in the East c. being then Doct. of Divinity and took all the ways imaginable to make his House flourish with young Students At length the Act of Conformity being published in 1662 he rather than conform left his Principallity tho perswaded to the contrary by some of the Heads of the University purposely to keep him there because he was a good Disciplinarian and lived for some time in these parts Afterwards upon the receipt of a Call he lived by the help of the Brethren at Buckminster in Leycestershire where he exercised his gifts in Conventicles as he did afterwards at Gosfield in Essex and in 1673 and after at Sybill-Hennyngham near to that place and a length at Great Connard near Sudbury in Suffolke at which last place he finished this mortal life as I shall tell you by and by having before suffered by imprisonments mulcts and loss of his Goods and Books for preaching in Conventicles against the Act. He was a zealous person in the way he professed but oversway'd more by the Principles of education than reason He was very courteous in speech and carriage communicative of his knowledge generous and charitable to the poor and so publick spirited a rare thing in a Presbyterian that he alwaies minded the common good more than his own concerns His works as to learning are these Conciones tres apud Academicos Oxonii nuper habitae Oxon. 1654. oct The first is on Psal 119.9 The second on Eccles 2.1 and the third on 1.

Lond. 1686. fol. Further also our author Sir W. Dugdale took a great deal of pains in publishing the second vol. of Councils and Glossary of Sir Hen. Spelman as I have before told you At length this most industrious Person contracting a great cold at Blythe Hall by attending too much his worldly concerns died thereof in his Chair about one of the Clock in the afternoon of the tenth day of February S. Scholastica's day an 1685. Whereupon his body being conveyed to the parochial Church of Shustock in Warwickshire before mention'd was on the 12 of the same month deposited in a stone-coffin laying in a little vault which he before had caused to be made under the north side of the Chancel of the Church there It was laid near another stone-coffin in the said vault containing the remains of his then late Wife named Margery Daughter of John Huntbache of Seawell in Staffordshire Gent who died 18 Decemb. 1681 after she had continued his Wife from the 17 of March 1622. Sir Will. Dugdale did also in his life time erect over the said vault a strong tomb of Free-stone in form of an altar joyning to the North wall with his Armes and those of his Wife carved on the South side thereof And above it he caused to be fixed on the wall a tablet of white marble bordered with the like Free-stone on which was engraven his epitaph made by himself By his last Will and Testament he bequeathed all his Manuscripts and Collections of Antiquities to the Musaeum of Elias Ashmole in Oxon who divers years before had married one of his Daughters where they remain and are of great use to curious and critical persons To conclude had this indefatigable person sequestred himself from worldly troubles and totally addicted himself to his studies and had minded the publick more than his private concerns the world might have justly enjoyed more of his lucubrations and those more true and accurate than such that are already published especially those in his latter days Yet however what he hath done is prodigious considering the great troubles that he had endured for his loyalty and the cumbrances of this world that he had run through and therefore his memory ought to be venerated and had in everlasting remembrance for those things which he hath already published which otherwise might have perished and been eternally buried in oblivion Le ts now go on with the Creations Nov. 1.

Army and the victories obtained by his Majesty over his rebellious Subjects the book was seized on at the fatal battle at Naseby by some of the forces belonging to the Parliament then Victors Afterwards it was presented to their General called Sir Thomas Fairfax who perusing it found one passage therein which was very observable to him viz. that whereas he Walker had taken occasion to speak of the Irish and call'd them Rebells his Majesty who before that time had perused the book did among several alterations made therein with his own hand put out the word Rebells with his pen and over it wrot Irish This book was after his Majesties restauration regain'd and is now or at least was lately in the hands of Sir Joh.

Aleyn who wrot a Poem entit The battle of Crescy and Poictiers and afterwards The History of Hen. the seventh Lond. 1638 oct written in verse also with The battle of Bosworth who dying about 1640 was buried under the north wall of S. Andrews Church in Holbourn near London In 1640 his Father thinking it fit for his better education to send him abroad to travel he set forward at Christmas that year and continued beyond Sea till about three quarters of a year having spent his time in viewing a considerable part of France and was intended for a journey into Italy but then unfortunately called back by occasion of his Fathers sickness who not many weeks after his return dyed some few days before Christmas 1641. Immediatly after his death he succeeded his Father in the Clerkship of his Majesties Ordnance granted him by patent 5. Feb. 13. Car. 1. and about the months of Apr. and May he was outed by warrant of the then House of Lords and committed to the Black rod for only adhering to the duty of his place and allegiance to his Prince where he lay for several months at great expences and charge of fees till having in the beginning of Oct. following gain'd his Liberty he went immediatly to the King who made him Commissary General of his Artillery In which condition he served him at the battle of Edghill and during the four years Civil War while in the mean time he was depriv'd of an estate of 160 l. per an till a debt of 1500 l. was satisfied by way of extent out of the Land of Ord of Ord in Northumberland his house plundered and all his personal estate and houshold goods taken away among which was the loss of a study of books as considerable in a manner that he bought and obtained after his Majesties restauration which was great and choice and accounted one of the most considerable belonging to any Gent. in or near London After Edghill battle he retired with his Majesty to Oxon where he was created M. of A. as I have before told you and was not wanting while he continued there to improve himself in learning as other Gentlemen did After the rendition of Oxford to the Parliament forces he lived for some time in the Middle Temple at London in the Chamber of a near Relation of his called Tho. Stanley Esquire at which time he published some pieces which I shall anon mention While he continued there you cannot but imagine that he was liable as indeed he was to frequent midnight scarches and proclamation banishments out of the Lines of communication as being a Cavalier which the godly party then called Malignant till at the return of Sir George Savile afterwards Marquess of Halyfax from his travels about 1651. or 52 he was invited to take upon him the charge of his concerns and sometime after by his honorable Mother the Lady Savile her good favour he was recommended to undertake the tuition of her Nephew Sir John Coventry in his travels abroad In the beginning of March therefore in 1654 he left England with his charge ran through all France Italy some part of Hungary the greater part of Germany Holland and the rest of the Low Countries and returned about the end of Oct. 1659. By which voyage he did advance and promote his bookish inclination by conference with learned persons when he came to such places that could afford him their desired converse more than what he could obtain at home After his Majesties restauration he found a person put into his place of Clerk of his Maj. Ordnance within the Kingdom of England after his old sequestrators were dead by a Relation of the Gent. whose care and tuition he had undertaken I mean by that busie man Sir Anth. Ashley Cooper afterwards Earl of Shaftesbury so that he was forced to plead the â—ight of his Patent before the House of Lords e're he could get readmittance After some time of the Kings settlement he met with a discouragement worse than the former for by the politick Reducers of the charge of his Majesties revenue and treasure he was retrenched from the best perquisites of his office to the value of no less than 500 l. per an and never received any consideration

This worthy person Sir Jam. Ware who by his pen hath done admirable service for the credit of the Irish Nation I desire the Reader by the way if not too tedious to take these observations of him following He was born in Castle-street within the City of Dublin about two of the clock in the morn of the 26 of Novemb. an 1594. His father was Sir Jam. Ware Kt sometimes Secretary to two of the Lords Justices or Deputies of Ireland and afterwards Auditor General of that Kingdom who finding his said son to make early advances towards learning spared neither cost or labour to encourage him therein At 16 years of age he caused him to be entred a Student in Trinity Coll. at Dublin where making great proficiency in his studies was in less than six years made Master of Arts. In 1629 or thereabouts he received the honour of Knighthood from Adam Lord Viscount Ely and Rich. Boyle Earl of Cork they both being at that time Lords Justices of Ireland and in 1632 he became upon the death of his father Auditor General of Ireland Notwithstanding which place of trouble as well as of profit and the cumbrances of marriage he wrot and published several books the titles of which
I shall anon set down In 1639 he was made one of the Kings Privy Council in Ireland and when the Rebellion broke out there he suffered much in his Estate In 1644 he with the Lord Edward Brabason afterwards Earl of Meath and Sir Hen. Tichbourne Kt were sent by James Marquess of Ormonde then Lord Lieutenant of Ireland to K. Ch. 1. at Oxon about the affairs of that Kingdom Which being concluded to their minds they returned but in their way they were taken on the seas by a Parliament Ship just after Sir James had flung over board the Kings packet of Letters directed to Ormonde Whereupon being all conveyed to London were committed Prisoners to the Tower where continuing eleven months were then released upon exchange Afterwards Sir James returned to Dublin continued there for some time and was one of the hostages for the delivery of that City to Coll. Mich. Jones for the use of the Parliament of England Afterwards the said Colonel thinking it not convenient for several reasons that he should remain there commanded him to depart so that by vertue of his pass he went into France where he continued an year and an half mostly at Caen and partly at Paris In 1651 he left that Country went into England and setling in London wrot several books and published one or more there Upon the restauration of K. Ch. 2 he went into Ireland and by special order was restored to his place of Auditor General and continued a privy Counsellor there His works are these 1 Archiepiscoporum Casseliensium Tuamensium vitae duobus expressae commentariolis Dubl 1626. qu.

Martins Church in the Fields in Westm a Catalogue of which is lately made extant by Edm. Gibson B. A. of Qu. Coll. in Ox. This year also about the beginning thereof as it seems was a proposal made by vertue of a letter sent to the Vicechancellour that Rich. Fanshaw Esq Servant to Prince Charles should have the degr of Doctor of the Civil Law confer'd upon him but whether he was presented thereunto tho diplomated he might be it appears not in the publick Register Howsoever it is sure I am that certain Masters now living in the University did many years after report that he had that degree confer'd on him here yet whether personally presented thereunto they could not positively affirm This right worthy and loyal person Richard Fanshaw originally of the University of Cambr. was descended of the family of Fanshaw of Fanshaw gate in Derbyshire being the great Grandchild of John Fanshaw of that place brother of Henry Fanshaw and father of Tho.

Bridgman the Dean and all the members of the Cathedral habited in their Albes received a blessing from his Lordship sung Te Deum and so compassing the Choir in manner of procession conveyed him to his chair This was on the eleventh of the said month of Sept. a day not to be forgotten by all the true Sons of the Church of England tho curs'd then in private by the most rascally faction and crop-ear'd whelps of those parts who did their endeavours to make it a maygame and a piece of foppery After his Lordship had made some continuance there and was highly caress'd and entertained by noble and generous spirits he return'd to London fell sick and died in his house in Aldersgate-street on the 29 of Nov. an 1661 to the great reluctancy of all learned and loyal persons On the 5 of Dec. following he was buried in the south side of the Cathedral Church of S.
