Feb. 1642 Toppe was restored So that Taylor retiring to London became Preacher at Bowe near that City and afterwards Minister of S. Stephens Church in Colemanstreet in the place of Joh. Goodwin turn'd out by the Parliament But he meeting with opposition there he exercised his function for some time in a Church in Woodstreet and kept a Lecture at S.

College entred into Ch. Ch. and exhibited unto by his kinsman Dr. Ravis somtimes Dean of that House an 1605 aged 12. or more years and was I think at that time a Chorister Afterwards when he was about to take the degree of Bach. of Arts he was elected one of the number of Students being then noted to have a most admirable veine in Poetry and Oratory In 1615 he proceeded in Arts took Holy Orders soon after became a most eloquent and quaint Preacher and had two Benefices in the Dioc. of Oxon. confer'd on him whereof one was the rectory of Crowell In 1618 he went as Chaplain to Sir Franc. Steaart when he conducted to Spaine Dedicus Sarmiento de Acunna the Earl of Gundamore after he had continued several years in the English Court as an Embassador from the K. of that Country in which journey behaving himself in a facete and pleasant way did much obtain the favour of that Count. Afterwards he became Chaplain to K. Ch. 1. and succeeded Mr. Will. Bridges Son of Dr. John Bridges B. of Ox in the Archdeaconry of Oxon. before the year 1626. In 1642 he was by vertue of the Letters of the said King actually created with others Doct. of Divinity and sheltred himself in and near Oxon during the time of rebellion but when the royal Party declin'd and the Independent had taken place upon the installation of Oliver to the Protectorship he who before had lost his Livings and the profits of his Archdeaconry did side with that faction so far as to undergo the examination of the Triers or rather Spanish Inquisitors in order to be inducted into the rectory of Chilton in Berks in the place of one Tho. Laurence ejected for being not Compos mentis For which
should have known whether he was the same who was afterwards the famed Author of Hudibras After Sam. Butler had continued in Cambridge about 6 or 7 years but in what Coll. or Hall his brother knows not he was taken into the service of Elizabeth Countess of Kent in whose family living several years he did for a diversion exercise his parts in Painting and Musick and at length became so noted for the first that he was entirely beloved of Sam. Cooper the Prince of Limners of his age Great Selden who was much conversant in the family of that Countess had an esteem for and would often employ him to write letters beyond sea and translate for him At riper years he studied the Common Law but did not practise it only lived on the jounture of a widow that he had married After the restauration of K. Ch. 2 he became Secretary to Richard Earl of Carbury L. President of the Principality of Wales and of the Marches thereof who as 't is said made S. Butler Steward of Ludlow Castle when the Court there was revived Afterwards he became Secretary to George Duke of Buckingham when he was made Chancellour of the University of Cambridge and had promises of places and employments of greater value and credit from Edward Earl of Clarendon when he was L. Chanc. of England especially for this cause that his Majesty had a respect for him and the more for his poem called Hudibras the first part of which came out in 8o. an 1663 and was not only taken into his Majesties hands and read by him with great delight but also by all Courtiers loyal Scholars and Gentlemen to the great profit of the Author and Bookseller Afterwards came out a second part and both printed together with several additions and annotations And at length a third and last part but without annotations as by the copy printed 1678 appears In 1682 was published in 8o. Butlers Ghost or Hudibras The fourth part with reflections on these times But whether he was the Author of I know not for I have not yet seen it This Sam. Butler who was a boon and witty companion especially among the company he knew well died of a Consumption 25 of Sept. 1680 and was according to his desire buried six foot deep in the yard belonging to the Church of S. Paul in Covent Garden within the Liberty of Westminster viz. at the west end of the said yard on the north side and under the wall of the Church and under that wall which parts the yard from the common high way As for our voluminous Author Will. Prynne he died in his lodgings in Lincolns Inn on the 24 of Oct. in sixteen hundred sixty and nine and was buried in the Walk under the Chappel there which stands upon Pillars Over whose grave tho there is no Epitaph only his name and Obit which are now worn out yet I shall venture to give you this Epitaph that was then made upon him Here lies the corps of William Prynne A Bencher late of Lincolns Inn Who restless ran through thick and thin This grand scripturient paper-spiller This endless needless margin-filler Was strangly tost from post to pillar His brains career were never stopping But pen with rheume of gall still dropping Till hand o're head brought ears to cropping Nor would he yet surcease such theams But prostitute new virgin-reams To types of his fanatick dreams But whilst he this hot humour hugs And for more length of tedder tugs Death fang'd the remnant of his lugs NATHANIEL FIENNES second son to Will.

Gen. of the Parliament Forces raised to fight against the King Afterwards shewing himself a zealot for the Covenant and professing himself in all respects to be a thorough-paced Parliamenteer was made Governour of the Garrison of Bristow when first taken in for the use of the Parliament Where being no sooner setled but he used many insolencies and barbarities too many here to be named among which was 1 His causing the Kings Proclamation forbidding all Sea-men and Marriners and all Officers of his Navy to take employment under Robert Earl of Warwick lately made Admiral of the Kings royal Navy by the Parliament to be burnt in the publick market-place there 4 March 1642 by the hands of one of the City Sargeants being then the chief market-day notwithstanding he connived at the publishing it the day before 2 In causing to be murdered under the notion of Plotters against the Parliament two eminent Citizens of Bristow Rob. Yeomans and George Bowcher notwithstanding his Maj. sent letters in their behalf to have their lives spared to the extream horror and amazement of all honest men and the great grief of his Majesty who could not choose but look upon it as the most barbarous act which the impudence and cruelty of the said Rebellion had produced against him 3 In his and his murtherous Crews contempt and profanation of Gods holy Worship and Service and permitting the rending of Surplices tearing the book of Common-Prayer breaking down Organs exterminating the whole Liturgy out of the Congregations c. 4 His discountenancing and driving away the orthothodox Ministers and substituting in their places the most infamous and notorious Schismaticks that he could pick out of Bristow and other places as Joh. Tombes of Lemster Edm Cradock .... Bacon .... Walter .... Simonds and one Mathew Hazard whom tho I name last yet deserves to have precedency of all the rest as being a main Incendiary in the Rebellion violently egged on by his wife whose disciple the silly man was But at length the said City of Bristow being by Col. Fiennes surrendred to Pr. Rupert for the use of his Majesty 27 July 1643 he was thereupon called into question and articles were drawn up against him by the restless proceedings of Will. Prynne and Clem. Walker So that he being tryed for his life for the same before a Council of War sitting at S.

Bright became a Communer of Trin. Coll under the tuition of his elder brother Hannibal Potter in the latter end of the year 1609 took the degrees in Arts and one in Divinity and continued in the Coll. a close Student till his father died an 1637 and then succeeding him in the Rectory of Kilmanton sometimes called Kilmington and Culmington left the University for altogether retired to that place led a single and monkish life without the conversation of ingenious men till the day of his death He was from a boy given to drawing and painting and the Founders picture that hangs in the Refectory of Trin. Coll. is of his copying His genie laid most of all in the Mechanicks had an admirable mechanical invention and excellent notions for the raising of water and making Water-engins many of which inventions being presented to the Royal Society about the time of its first erection were highly approved by them and forthwith the members thereof admitted him one of their number About the year 1640 he entertained the notion of curing diseases by transfusion of blood out of one man into another the hint whereof came into his head from Ovid's story of Medea and Jason Which matter he communicating to the Royal Society about the time of its first erection was entred into their books But this way of transfusion having as 't is said been mention'd long before by Andr. Libavius our author Potter who I dare say never saw that Writer is not to be esteemed the first inventer of that notion nor Dr. Rich. Lower but rather an Advancer He hath written and published An interpretation of the number 666. Wherein not only the manner how this number ought to be interpreted is clearly proved and demonstrated but it is also shewed that this number is an exquisite and perfect character truly exactly and essentially describing that state of government to which all other notes of Antichrist do agree Oxon. 1642. qu. Which book as one saith is the happiest that ever yet came into the world and such as cannot be read save of those persons that will not believe it without much admiration c. A book also called The key of the Scripture written by a London Divine wherein being large upon the Revelations he prefers the said Interpretation before all others It was afterwards translated into French Dutch and Latine the last of which was done by several hands and severally printed One copy was all or mostly performed by Tho. Gilbert of S. Edm. Hall printed at Amsterd 1677. oct And that or the other was partly remitted into Matth. Poole's Synopsis Critic in the second part of the fourth volume on the Revelations What answers were made to the said Interpretation that were printed I think there were none sure I am that one Lambert Morehouse Minister of Pertwood about 6 miles from Kilmanton accounted by some a learned man and a good Mathematician did write against it and seemed to be angry with the Author that 25 is not the true but the propinque root To which the Author replied with some sharpness The MS. of this controversie Morehouse gave to Dr. Seth Ward B. of Salisbury an 1668 before which time he was prefer'd by Dr. Henchman then B. of that place to the spiritual Cure of Little Langford in Wilts where he died about 1672. He was a Westmorland man by birth was educated I think in Clare Hall in Cambridge and wrot other things but are not printed As for our author Potter he lived to a good old age died perfectly blind at Kilmanton between Easter and Whitsuntide in the month of Apr. I think in sixteen hundred seventy and eight and was buried in the chancel of the Church there His memory is preserved in Trin. Coll. by a Dial that he made and set up on the north side of the old Quadrangle where it doth yet remain His fathers name was Rich. Potter an Oxfordshire man born sometimes Fellow of the said Coll. of the holy Trinity and afterwards Vicar of a little mercate Town in Wilts and Rector of Kilmington or Kilmanton in Somersetshire before mention'd ABRAHAM WOODHEAD son of Joh. Woodh of Thornhill in Yorks was born at Maltham in the Parish of Albonsbury alias Ambury in the said County entred a Student in Univ. Coll. under the tuition of Jonas Radcliff an 1624 aged 16 years or thereabouts and soon after was made Scholar Afterwards going thro the several classes of Logick and Philosophy with very great industry he took the degrees in Arts became Fellow in 1633 entred into holy Orders passed a course in Divinity and in 1641 was elected one of the Proctors of the University which office being quitted not without trouble occasion'd by the denying of the Grace of Franc. Cheynell of which he complained to the Long Parliament he travelled into France with a Gent. Com. of his House called Thomas Radcliff son of Sir Geor. Radcl and afterwards with Thom. Culpeper and Thom. Strode both of the same House At length setling for a time in Rome he was entertained by George Duke of Buckingham whom he instructed in Mathematicks and was much respected by him After his return into England being depriv'd of his Fellowship by the Visitors appointed by Parliam for absence and non-appearance an 1648. he lived for some time in York house in the Strand near London by the appointment of the said Duke but Arthur Lord Capell being informed of the great merits of the person he entertained and learned of him the Mathematical Sciences In 1660 he was restored to his Fellowship by his Maj. Commissioners and remained in his Coll. for a time But his opinion as to Religion being then alter'd as it had been since he was at Rome which he always very warily conceal'd got leave of the Master and Society to be absent as intending again to travel with the allowance of 20 l. per an So that retiring to London he afterwards setled at Hoxton alias Hogsden near to that City where he lived very obscurely and retiredly upon that allowance that the College made to him as a Traveller all therein except one knowing not to the contrary but that he was beyond the seas There I say being setled he not only caused Youths to be trained up in the R. Cath. Religion of which certain members of Parliament did openly make mention in the House after
wealth and gaining credit thereby he became one of the number of those that gave Sentence against Arthur Lord Capell Rob. Earl of Holland and James Duke of Hamilton who were all beheaded In 1650 he published a remarkable book called The government of the people of England precedent and present c. and by vertue of a return dated 21. June 1655 he by the name of Joh. Parker of the Temple one of the Commissioners for the removing obstructions at Worcester House in the the Strand near London was the next day sworn Serjeant at Law Oliver being then Lord Protector On the 18. of Jan. or thereabouts an 1659 he was appointed by the Parliament one of the Barons of the Court of Exchecquer but being soon after removed thence before or at the restauration of K. Ch. 2 we heard no more of him afterwards As for Samuel whom we are farther to mention he was by the care of his Parents severe Puritans and Schismaticks puritanically educated in Grammar learning at Northampton and being made full ripe for the University he was by them sent to Wadham Coll. in Midsomer or Act term 1656 and being by them committed to the tuition of a Presbyterian Tutour he did according to his former breeding lead a strict and religious life fasted prayed with other Students weekly together and for their refection feeding on thin broth made of Oatmeal and and water only they were commonly called Grewellers He and they did also usually go every week or oftner to an house in the Parish of Halywell near their College possessed by Bess Hampton an old and crooked Maid that drove the trade of Laundrey who being from her youth very much given to the Presbyterian Religion had frequent meetings for the Godly party especially for those that were her Customers To this house I say which is commonly called the ninth house belonging to Mert. Coll. they did often resort and our author Parker was so zealous and constant a hearer of the Prayers and Sermons there held forth a receiver of the Sacraments and such like that he was esteemed one of the preciousest young men in the University Upon the Kings return in 1660 he being then Bach. of Arts he was for some time at a stand what to do yet notwithstanding he did Pray Cabal and Discourse to obstruct Episcopal Government Revenews and Authority but being discountenanc'd in his doings by the then Warden of his Coll Dr. Blandford who as 't is said did expel him but false he went to Trin. Coll and by the prevailing advice of Dr. Ralph Bathurst a Senior Fellow thereof he was rescued from the chains and fetters of an unhappy education which he afterwards publickly avouched in print So that ever after being a zealous Anti-puritan and strong Assertor of the Ch. of England did cause an abusive and foul-mouthd author to say that he was worse than his Contemporary Foullis meaning Hen. Foulis of Linc. Coll. the original of whose name tho stinking and foul as he saith and in nature foul yet he was alwaies the same person in Principles that is a bitter enemy against the Presbyterians In 1663 our author Parker proceeded Master of Arts as a Grand-Compounder and a member of Trin. Coll and afterwards entring into holy Orders he was frequently in London and became as 't is said Chaplain to a Nobleman and a great Droller on the Puritans c. In 1665 he published his Tentamina and dedicating them to Dr. Sheldon Archb. of Cant. made himself thereupon known to that great person About that time he became Fellow of the Royal Society and in 1667 just after Easter leaving Oxford for altogether he was summoned to Lambeth the Michaelmas after and being made one of the Chaplains to the said Archbishop was thereby put into the road of preferment In June 1670 he was install'd Archdeacon of Canterbury in the place as it seems of Dr. W. Sancroft and on the 26 of Nov. following he had the degree of Doctor of Div. confer'd on him at Cambridg at which time William Prince of Aurange or Orange was entertained there On the 18. of Nov. 1672 he was installed Prebendary of Canterb. as he himself hath told me and about that time had the Rectories of Ickham and Chartham in Kent bestowed on him In the beginning of 1685 he resigned his Prebendship purposely to please his friend Dr. Joh. Bradford but that person dying about 6 weeks after his instalment Dr. Joh. Younger of Magd. Coll. in Oxon did succeed him by the favour of Josepha Maria the Royal Consort of K. Jam. 2 to whom he had spoken an Italian Oration in the said Coll. when she was entertain'd at Oxon 1683. On the 17 of Octob. 1686 he was Consecrated Bishop of Oxon at Lambeth in the place of Dr. Fell deceased and had liberty then allow'd him to keep his Archdeaconry in Commendam with it Before I go any further with his person the Reader is to understand these brief things following viz. that after the death of Dr. Hen. Clerk President of Magd. Coll. a Citation was stuck up to warn the Fellows to an election of new Governour but before the time was come to do it came a Mandamus from K. Jam. 2. to the Society to elect to that Office a junior Master of Arts named Anth. Farmer formerly of Cambridge then Demy of the said Coll but the Society taking little or no notice of it they elected according to their Statutes one of their Society named Joh. Hough Bac. of Div. on the 15. of Apr. 1687 whereupon his Majesty resenting the matter it was tried and discussed before his Ecclesiastical Commissioners newly erected by him Before whom there were then attested such vile things relating to the Life and Conversation of Farmer that he was thereupon laid aside On the 22. of June following the said Ecclesiastical Commissioners removed Mr. Hough from his place which was notified by a paper stuck up on the West door of the Chappel on the 2. of Aug. following subscribed by the said Commissioners whereupon his Majesty sent his Mandate of the 14. of the said month to elect Dr. Sam. Parker B. of Oxon to be their President but they being not in capacity to elect him because of their Oaths and Statutes his Maj. sent to Oxon three Commissioners to examine matters and put his Mandate in execution So that after they had sate in the College two days examined affairs and had commanded Dr. Hough thrice to deliver up the Keys of the Presidents Lodgings which he refused they thereupon installed in the Chappel the Proxy of Dr. Parker Will. Wiggins Clerk President with the usual Oaths which being done they conducted him to the Presidents Lodgings broke open the doors after thrice knocking and gave him possession 25. of Octob. 1687. On the 2. of Nov. following Dr. Parker took possession of them in his own person being then in a sickly condition where he continued to the time of his death

Whence and out of sundry MSS. in private hands monumental inscriptions and other Authorities which after the greater part of 30 years labour he had got together he at length compiled that large work intit The Baronage of England In making which Collections he omitted nothing of consequence which related to the Foundations and Endowments of the Cathedral and Collegiat Churches in England and Wales consisting of secular Canons as also of what else he could observe concerning those Monasteries that were already published to the end that use might be made of them as Additaments to those volumes And in the year 1673 he published all those Additaments together with what he had so gathered for those cathedral and collegiate Churches before specified But the said Volumes of the Baronage hanging long at the Press came not out till the year 1675 and 1676 being then and soon after taken into the hands not only of his Majesty and royal issue but also by the prime Nobility of the Nation Towards the end of the said year 1676 Sir Edw. Walker Garter Principal K. of Arms departing this mortal life at Whitehall Mr. Dugd. being then in Warwickâ—hire much dispute grew between Henry then Earl of Norwich afterwards Duke of Norfolk as Earl Marshal of England and the King for the nomination of a person unto whom his Majesty should by his Letters Patents make a grant of that Office the Chancellour of the Garter on the Kings behalf as Soveraign of that most noble Order strenuously insisting upon his Majesties right to nominate by reason that the said Office of Garter was an employment meerly belonging to that Order and chiefly for attending at all Installations and Festivals and performing other services unto the Soveraign and Knights Companions thereof The Earl on his part as Earl Marshal and chief Superintendent of the Office and Officers of Arms pleading the usage of his Predecessors in that honorable Office of Earl Marshal to nominate and recommend to the King upon the death and vacancy of any King of Arms Herald or Pursevant such person or persons to supply the place as he shall think most fit and most properly qualified for that service In which contest one Sir Will. Haward Knight a person well accomplish'd with learning especially in point of Honour and Arms having obtained the favour of divers great men to move his Majesty on his behalf the K. did thereupon much incline to to have that office confer'd upon him The Earl of Norwych on the other part accounting it no little derogation to his Office of Earl Marshal to be refused the like privilege as his Predecessors in that great place had been permitted to enjoy for which he produced some late Presidents acknowledging tho he had nothing to do as to any superintendency over him as an Officer of the Garter yet as Garter was Principal K. of Arms he was subordinate to his authority did obtain the favour of the Duke of York upon this great dispute to speak to his Majesty on his behalf The King therefore asked the said Count Earl Marshal whom he had a design to nominate and recommend he answer'd Mr. Dugdale tho 't is well known he had another person Th. Leigh Chest Her in his eye against whom such objections might have been justly taken as that he would have failed of his aim had he stuck to him whereupon his Maj. immediately replied Nay then I am content So that the matter being thus ended the Earl Marshal caused his Secretary to advise Mr. Dugdale thereof by the Post that night and earnestly to press his speedy coming up to London he then being at Blythe Hall in Warwickshire This news did not a little surprize him because he was so far from any thoughts of that Office that upon some Letters from certain honorable persons ensuing Sir E. Walkers death earnestly desiring his speedy repair to London in order to his obtaining that Office he excused himself in respect of his age he being then above 20 years older than any other Officer in the Coll. of Arms then living as he then told me being then with him at Blythe Hall when those Letters came to him After serious consideration what to resolve on therein having a far greater desire to wave it than otherwise as he then said he grew fearful that his Majesty so readily assenting to the Earl Marshal's nomination of him should not take it well in case he did refuse what was so intended him as a favour And doubting also the Earl Marshal's displeasure for not complying with him therein did at length conclude with himself that it was by God Almighties disposal thus cast upon him and therefore he resolved to accept of it So that within few days after repairing to London he was welcom'd by the Earl Marshal with many noble Expressions for his ready acceptance of his Lordships favour herein On the 26 of Apr. 1677 was passed the Patent for his Office of Garter and on Thursday 24 of May following being then Holy Thursday he was solemnly created Garter in the College of Arms by Henry Earl of Peterborough who then exercised the Office of Earl Marshal as Deputy to the Earl of Norwych by vertue of his Majesties immediate Warrant for that purpose And the day following 25 May Mr Dugd. being brought before the King in the old Bed-chamber at Whitehall by the Earl Marshall he then received the honor of Knighthood much against his will because of his small estate at which time his Majesty put the badge of his office hung in a gold chain usually worn by Garter K. of Armes about his neck On the first of June following he took his oath of Garter Principal K. of Armes

Earl of Danby from the office of Lord Treasurer and being then sworn a Privy Counsellor he took his place accordingly at the Board This was done when his Majesty on the same day was pleased to declare in Council that he had given leave to Arthur Earl of Essex to resign his place of first Commissioner of the said Treasury and that he intended his Lordship should continue of his Privy Council In the month of Apr. 1681 his Maj. was pleased in consideration of his faithful Services in that Office and other Employments of eminent trust to create him Viscount Hyde of Kenilworth in Warwickshire and Baron of Wotton Basset in Wilts and soon after upon the death of Charles the young E. of Rochester to make him an Earl by the title of Earl of that City in Nov. or thereabouts 1682.

Coll. in the year 1570 aged 18 years took the degrees in Arts holy Orders and was made Chaplain to the Earl of Pembroke with whom continuing for some time that Count bestowed upon him the Rectory of Chilmark in Wilts and thereby became the first that planted him in the Church of Christ Soon after he became Chaplain in Ordinary to Qu. Elizabeth by the endeavours of the said Count and beneficed in Yorkshire so that being put into the road of Preferment he had the Deanery of York confer'd on him upon the promotion of Dr. Mathew Hutton to the See of Durham to which being elected 28 Oct. 1589 was soon after install'd In 1593 he was made Bishop of Limerick in Ireland where peâ—forming many signal services for the Crown of England he was translated to the See of Bristow in 1603 with liberty then given to him to keep his Deanery of York in commendam But as for his Benefices in Yorkshire which were the Rectories of Brandesburton and Misperton alias Kirkby over Carr they were bestowed on Peter Rollocke Bishop of Dunkell in the month of Aug. the same year On the 17 Feb. 1616 was translated to Worcester whereupon his Deanery was given to Dr. George Meriton Dean of Peterborough elected thereunto 25 Mar. 1617 and his Bishoprick of Bristow to Dr. Nich.

Axe-yard joyning to Kingstreet within the City of Westminster where he died in the very beginning of the year about 25 of March sixteen hundred fifty and four but where he was buried I cannot tell for the register of S. Margarets Church wherein Axe-yard is situated mentions him not to have been buried in that Parish Now as for John Lilbourne before-mention'd he having been very famous for his infamy I shall say these things of him He was born of a good Family at Thickley-Punchardon in the County Pal. of Durham and when very young was sent to London and bound an Apprentice to a packer of Cloth in S. Swithins-lane At which time and before he was esteemed a youth of an high and undaunted spirit of a quick and pregnant apprehension and of an excellent memory yet always after much addicted to contention novelties opposition of Government and to violent and bitter expressions About the year 1632 he upon the dislike of his trade had a mind to study the common Law and therefore upon his and the desire of his friends he was taken into the service of Mr. Will Prynne of Linc. Inn who shortly after suffering for his Histrio-Mastix as I shall tell you at large when I come to him his Servant Lilbourne took his Masters part imprinted and vended a book or books against the Bishops for which being committed Prisoner to the Fleet was afterwards whipped at a Carts tail from the said Fleet to Westminster the indignity of which he being not able to endure railed all the way against his Persecutors When he came to the Pallace yard he stood in the Pillory two hours and talking there to the People against the State was gagg'd In 1640 he was released from his Prison by the Members of the Long Parliament and soon after took upon him the place of a Captain in their Service and after the battle of Edghill being taken Prisoner at Brainford in the year 1642 was carried to Oxon and there arraigned for a Traytor for levying War against the Person of the King Afterwards he being released he was made a Lieutenant Colonel and became for a time the Idol of the factious party But he being naturally a great trouble-world in all the variety of Governments became a hodg-podg of Religion the chief ringleader of the Levellers a great proposal maker and modeller of state and publisher of several seditious Pamphlets among which were 1 A Salva Libertate 2 Impeachment of High Treason against Oliver Cromwell and his Son in Law Hen. Ireton Esq 3 The outcry of the young men and the Apprentices of Lond. or an inquisition after the loss of the fundamental Laws and Liberties of England c. 4 The legal fundamental Liberties of the People of England revived 5 Preparation to an hue and crie after Sir Arth. Haselrig c. For which and for his endeavors to disturb the peace and subvert the Government of this Nation he was committed Prisoner to Newgate in Aug. 1645 where continuing a considerable while several Petitions subscribed by hundreds of Citizens and others as also by his Wife and many Women were put up to the Parliament for his releasment Afterwards he was transmitted to the Tower where having too much liberty allowed him he and his party spake very disgracefully of the two Houses of Parliament to whom it appeared that there was a design of many thousands intended under a colour of Petition to dishonour the Parliament and their proceedings whereupon his liberty was restrained and he was ordered to appear at the bar of the H. of Commons This was in Jan. 1647 and accordingly appearing he made a large answer to the information against him at which time the reading of proofs and examination of the business held till six of the Clock at night and then the House ordered that he be remanded to the Tower and tried by the Law of the Land for seditious and scandalous practices against the State Which order being not obeyed for his party withheld him under a pretence of a great meeting to be at Deptford in Kent about their Petition that is The Petition of many thousands of the free-born People of England c. it was ordered that the Officers of the Guards do assist the Sergeant in carrying him and Maj. Jo. Wildman to Prison which was done and that the Committee of Kent take care to suppress all meetings upon that Petition and to prevent all tumults and that the Militia of London c. take care to suppress such meetings and to prevent inconveniencies which may arise thereby and upon the said Petition Afterwards he seems to have been not only set at liberty but to have had reparations made for his sentence in the Star Chamber and sufferings before the Civil War began But he being of a restless spirit as I have told you published a Pamphlet entit Englands new Chains discovered c. which was the bottom and foundation of the Levellers design of whom he was the Corypheus Whereupon being committed again about the beginning of 1649 was brought to his trial in the Guild-hall where after great pleadings to and fro he was quitted by his Jury to the great rejoycing of his party Afterwards he went into the Netherlands and there as 't is said became acquainted with the Duke of Buckingham Lord Hopton Captain Titus c. At length being desirous to see his native Country he returned into England where after he had continued some time in his projects to disturb the Government he was apprehended and committed to Newgate and at length brought to his trial at the Sessions-house in the Old Baylie 20. Aug. 1653. but quitted again by his Jury Soon after he was conducted to Portsmouth in order to his conveyance beyond the Seas but by putting in for his peaceable deportment for the future he return'd fell into the acquaintance of the Quakers became one of them setled at Eltham in Kent where somtimes he preached and at other times at Wollidge and was in great esteem among that party At length departing this mortal life at Eltham on Saturday 29. of Aug. 1657 his body was two days after conveyed to the house called The Mouth near Aldersgate in London which was then the usual meeting place of Quakers Whence after a great controversie among a strange medley of People there mostly Quakers whether the Ceremony of a Hearse-cloth should be cast over his Coffin which was carried in the negative it was conveyed to the then new burial place in Morefields near to the place called now Old Bedlam where it was interred This is the Person of whom the magnanimous Judge Jenkins used to say that if the World was emptied of all but John Lilbourne Lilbourne would quarrel with John and John with Lilbourne This Jo.

Ch. it was his pleasure that there should be a Creation in all faculties of such that had either done him service in the said battel or had retired to him at Oxon for shelter to avoid the barbarities of the Presbyterians then very frequent throughout the Nation Some called this Creation the Caroline Creation Bach. of Arts. From the first of Nov. to the 16 of Jan. were about 35 young Students actually created Bachelaurs of Arts in the head of whom was Tho. Wood or à Wood of Ch. Ch. Nov. 1. This person when he heard that the Forces belonging to the King and Parliament were drawing up to fight each other at Edghill threw off his gown ran thither did his Majesty good Service return'd on horseback well accoutred and afterwards was made an Officer See more among the Creations in 1647. The next that follow are these Mathew Skinner of Trin. Coll. son of Dr. Rob. Skinner Bishop of Oxon. He was afterwards Doctor of Phys Will. Slater Hen. Dudley c. Dec. 20. Conway Whitterne of Pemb.

Blome of Brecknockshire Gent. were of the number Which last I here set down not that he was a man of note but only to distinguish him from one of both his names who was originally a Ruler of Paper and now a Scribler of books See in the first vol. p. 389.390 I find also to be created Bach. of the Civ Law an Inhabitant of S. Aldates Parish in Oxon called John Holloway Official to the Archdeacon and Registrary of Berkshire which John was father to Rich. Halloway sometimes Fellow of New Coll and afterwards a Counsellor of the Inner Temple and a person for several years well reputed in these parts for his upright dealing in his profession To which I must add that in 1677 he was by writ called to be Serjeant at Law and in 1683 he was knighted and made one of the Justices of the Kings Bench in the place of Just Thom. Raymond In thâ— beginning of July 1688 he and Sir Joh. Powell another Just of the same Bench did receive their Quietus from K. Jam. 2 because they had a little before given in their minds and opinions to the Jury in the Court of the Kings Bench at Westm at which time they were two of the four Judges in the Proceedings and Tryal in the case of William Archb. of Cant and six Bishops that the Petition of the said Archb. and Bishops to his Maj wherein they shewed the great averseness they found in themselves to the distributing and publishing in all their Churches his Majesties then late Declaration for liberty of Conscience c. was not libellous or seditious as Sir Rob. Wright L. Ch. Justice and Just Rich. Allebâ—ne the other two Judges did Which act of Justice Holloway being much applauded by the true sons of the Church of England yet for other matters he was one of those many persons that were excepted out of the Act of Indemnity or Pardon of their Majesties K. Will. 3. and Qu. Mary dated 23 May 1690. Mast of Arts.

James Duke of York He was afterwards King of England by the name of K. James the 2. Dom. Henr. Howard Tho. Bosvile or Boswell a Kentish man of Aynsford I think and a Colonel in the Kings Army One Tho. Boswell who had been knighted by his Maj. at Durham in the beginning of May 1642 was buried in S Maries Church in Oxford 25 Oct. 1643. Whether he was the same who was created Master of Arts or the same Sir Tho. Boswell who had a daughter named Isabel the wife of Tho. Gifford Doctor of Physick before mentioned I cannot justly tell George Manwaring an Officer in the Kings Army Will. Dugdale one of the Officers of Arms called Rougecroix now 1642 lodging in Hart Hall This noted person who was son of John Dugdale son of James Dugdale of Cletherâ—w in Lancashire Gent was born at Shustock in the County of Warwick on the 12 of Sept. 1605 3 Jac. 1. at which time was a swarm of Bees in his fathers garden then esteemed by some a happy presage on the behalf of the Babe This accident being many years after related by Mr. Will. Dugdale to the famous Figure-flinger Will. Lilly he thereupon very readily told him that that swarm of bees did foretell that the Infant should in time prove a prodigy of industry c. But the Reader is to know that the said Lilly told him the said Will. Dugdale so after most of his industry was made public His first education in Grammar learning was under one Thom. Sibley Curat at Nether Whitacre near to Shustock before mentioned with whom continuing till he came to ten years of age or more was afterwards sent to the Free-school at Coventry then presided by one James Cranford father of James Cranford mentioned among the Writers pag. 133. After he had continued in the said School till almost he was 15 years of age he was taken home by his father from whom he received instructions in reading that noted Law-book called Littletons Tenures and some others of that profession besides History In all which he soon after by his indefatigable industry became well vers'd In the latter end of 1622 his father being then grown infirm he took to him a wife and in 1625 1 Car. 1. his said father being then dead he purchased the Mannour of Blythe in the Parish of â—hustock At which place setling soon after he composed most of his Books particularly that of The Anâ—iquities of Warwickshere illustrated His natural inclination tending then chiefly to the study of Antiquities and History he was not a little encouraged thereto by one Sam. Roper a Barrester of Lincolns Inn much esteemed for his knowledge and abilities in those studies with whom by reason he was Cosin-German to Rich. Seawell who had married his sister he had

Apr. 1643 aged 33 years and was buried in Allsaints Church in Oxon. As for Fulham and Gurgany there will be mention made of them in these Fasti an 1660. Tho 't is said that Nath. Conopius a Greecian and about this time one of the petty Canons of Ch.

having a hand in the said vile Pamphlet but those then of the House who knew the proud and malicious humour of Peirce have often told me that that was not the reason of his ejectment but because Dr. Jeanes had found fault with his Concio Synodica ad Clerum Anglican published that year wherein he said were several barbarisms and false Latins Which report coming to ears of Dr. Pierce his malice became so great against that he never left till he had outed him from the College After his expulsion which the generality of the Society were against and did lament because they knew he was sorry for what he had done in his raw years he went to Peterborough where he practised his Faculty with good success but in his journey homeward from a certain noble Patient in a dark night without a Companion his horse floundred in a Gravel-pit flung him off from his back and was forthwith stifled in the month of Nov. 1668.

Justell hath written and published the printed Cat. belonging to that Library commonly called Oxford Catalogue will tell you Nov. 10. Thaddeus Lantman diplomated Doct. of Div. Nov. 10. Joh. Woolnove diplomated Doct. of Div. These two persons were Ministers at the Hague and having been represented by the Prince of Orange to be persons of good esteem in Holland for their preaching learning and prudence and for the great veneration they had and have for the Church of England were upon those accounts recommended to the Chanc. of the University and by Henry Earl of Arlington lately in Holland to the Vicechanc. and Convocation for their degrees Jan. 26. Hippolytus du Chastlet de Luzancy of Ch. Ch. was actually created Master of Arts This Divine who made a great noise in his time was the Son of a famous common Woman named Beauchasteau a Player belonging to the Hostel de Burgoyn at Paâ—is and educated in the University there as I shall tell you by and by Afterwards he became Usher or Regent of the fifth form among the Fathers of the Christian Doctrine at Vitry then lived among the Monks at Vendosme and a little after in the service of a Bishop then in the Abbey of Trape next with another Prelate and at length a Preacher errant here and there but chiefly at Montdidier in Picardy where counterfeiting the name of Luzancy by a bill signed with that name he cheated the Damoizele Cartiâ—r of a piece of money So that by that and other pranks which expos'd him to the pursuit of Justice he left France went into England by the name of De la March which he quitted about a month after his arrival and at length to London without clothes without shoes without money and without any recommendation from France Soon after upon his own word and at the instance of some who solicited in his behalf he was permitted to get into the Pulpit at the Savoy within the liberty of Westminster not only to declare the motives of his conversion but his abjuration from and abhorrency of the Roman Catholick Faith which was solemnly done on the eleventh of July an 1675. The discourse he made and
which he delivered with much boldness gained him the esteem of his Auditors who for the most part charm'd with his eloquence and full of compassion for his misery soon cast about to put him into a condition of appearing in a decent habit and subsisting After this he was much favoured by some and as much hated by the Roman Catholicks particularly by St. Germaine a Jesuit in London who pretending to assassinate him as Luzancy gave out was a Proclamation issued forth for his protection and the taking of S. Germaine to bring him to condign punishment After this Luzancy's advancement being powerfully carried on the B. of London took care to have him ordained with a design of putting him in a condition of becoming one day a great Defender of the Church of England All which being done in a hurry 't was to little purpose for the Pastors and several Masters of Families of the Church at the Savoy to cry out against But while these things were in doing a Minister of the Church of England belonging to the French Church at the Savâ—y named Rich. du Marescq full of zeal to the truth printed a Sermon which he had preached during these bustles and in the preface to it doth give a true and just character of Luzancy not for his goodness but baseness lying dissimulation c. Which Serm. and Pref. as soon as they appeared in publick the B. of London caused all the copies to be seized and the author to be cited to the Bish Court interdicted the function of his charge because he refused to ask God forgiveness his neighbour the Church his Superior and to sign and seal a Declaration and at length openly suspended him for reasons reserved to the Bishop and his Officers After he had continued in that condition for some time he was at the intreaties of Dr. Jo. Durell and Monsieur Ruvigny who had a mind to oblige the Bishop restored to the exercise of his charge upon a bare acknowledgment that he was in the wrong to print his preface without license from his Superior or any else in authority c. After the following Christmas our author Luzancy went to Oxford where by vertue of several Letters of commendation he was received into Ch. Ch. by the Dean there had a Chamber allowed to him and such diet that belongs to Master-students at the charge I think of the Bishop of London On the 26 of Jan. following there was a Convocation of Doctors and Masters celebrated wherein the Letters of the Duke of Ormonde Chanc. of the University dat 2. Dec. were publickly read in his behalf which partly run thus This Gentleman Monsieur Luzancy was bred in the University of Paris in the Romish religion but having lately professed himself a member of the Church of England and given some testimonies of his adherence thereunto has made it his humble request for his encouragement to be recommended to the University for their favour in conferring upon him the degree of Master of Arts He has not his Testimonials from the University of Paris of the degree he took there but I doubt not when you shall discourse with him you 'll find him a person meriting that favour c. After the reading of that Letter Luzancy by the consent of the House was then actually created M. of A as I have before told you About the time of Easter in the beginning of Apr. 1676 was spread abroad by certain R. Catholicks a Pamphlet entit A Letter from a Gentleman at Lond. to his friend in the Country c. Printed at Lond in two sheets and an half in qu wherein are some of Luzancy's actions represented while he was in France but more while he was in England the Bishop of London and Dr. Franc. Durant de Brevall Preb. of Westm and Rochester sometimes a Capuchin Fryer reflected on severely and many things said which doth invalidate the K. Proclamation before mention'd At length some of the dispersers of that Pamph. it being discovered particularly Will. Rogers of Linc. Inn a zealous Proselyte for the R. Cath. cause he was seized on by a Messenger and brought before the Kings Council in Aug. following from whom receiving several checks and threatnings was at length released In the latter end of 1679 Luzancy left the University having before borrowed a considerable sum of money of one of the Chapl. of Ch. Ch. P. B. for whom he pretended kindness but he minding not the payment of he was sued for it by Law At the same time he became by the favour of the Bishop of London Vicar of Dover-Court in Essex to the Church of which place the Town of Harwich belongs so that he was Vicar of that also as well as of Dover-Court Soon after to prevent an unchast life he married a Gentlewoman in those parts where he was lately perhaps still living He hath written and pub 1 Serm. on the day of his abjuration at the Savoy 11.
