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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The first discourse is thus entit The debate or arguments for dissolving this present Parliament and the calling frequent and new Parliaments The other discourse is A Letter from a Parliament man to his friend concerning the proceedings of the H. of Com this last Sessions began 13.

The first discourse contains 10 pages the other seaven And tho no name is set to them yet it was very well known to all that Shaftesbury wrot them who tells us in the said Letter that the said Parliament consists of old Cavaliers old Round-heads indigent Cavaliers and true Country Gentlemen The first of which discourses if not both together with the Speech before mention'd on the 20. of Oct. 1675 and the protestation and reasons aforesaid are all answer'd in the body of a book which I shall anon mention entit A pacquet of Advices c. part 1. A Letter from a person of quality to his friend in the Country Printed 1675. qu. It contains 32 pages and speaks much in the praise of some of the temporal Lords but gibes at the spiritual bench particularly at Ward of Salisbury whom he makes a very rogue It is also chiefly as I remember against the Test and was published after the Parl. had been prorogued 22. of Nov. the same year It was answer'd by March Nedham in his pamphlet entit A pacquet of Advices and Animadversions sent from London to the men of Shaftesbury c. part 1.

Ferguson a Scot by the appointment and consent of Shaftesbury which mostly reflects on the printed proceedings against Shaftesbury when the indictment of High Treason was charged against him It endeavours also at large to lessen the credit and invalidate the Testimony of those several witnesses which appeared against the said Earl when the before mention'd indictment was charged against him by representing them singly in the blackest and most malicious characters that can be It doth more than ordinarily reflect upon Edmund Warcup a Justice of Peace in Middlesex as if he had corrupted and managed most of the evidences against the said Count. He is also touched upon in the first and second part which I shall now for brevity sake omit and only tell you that all three parts contain chiefly a vindication of Shaftesbury as to his not being in the least concern'd in any plotting design against the King and that they are taken to task by Roger L'estrange in some of his Observators They were written as well as the bad subject of them could bear and the third part which is very libellous was answer'd by a pamphlet entit A letter to a friend containing certain observations upon some passages which have been published in a late libell entit The third part of no Protestant Plot.

Which two letters supposed to belong to George Earl of Halyfax were doubtless forged and â—eigned only purposely to give Shaftesbury a greater liberty and scope of railing at and libelling the said Count. But this the reader must know that tho there is no name to this Modest account and therefore it cannot be reasonably fastned upon our author yet the general report was at its publication that 't was his and at that time it was judged to be so by Rog. L'estrange in two or three of his Observators weekly intelligences that then
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
labours in the search of Records for those works already published perused the notes that he had taken of the Lord Chancellours L. Treasurers Masters of Rolls Judges of all the Courts in Westminster Hall Kings Attorneys and Sollicitors as also of the Serjeants at Law Courts of â—usâ—ice and Inns of Court and Chancery for Students in that excellent Profession he compiled that historical work intit Origines Juridiciales adorned with exact cuts in copper plates of the Arms in the windows throughout all the Inns of Court and Serjeants Inns which was first made public by the Press an 1666 but the grand Conflagration soon after hapning many of the copies were burnt Further also he having in the course of his Collections formerly made at Oxon in the time of the Rebellion extracted from sundry choice MSS. divers special notes relating to antient Nobility of this Kingdom and being not ignorant that those Volumes of Monasticon would yield many excellent materials of that kind he then became encouraged to go to the Tower of London Exchequer Office of the Rolls in Chancery lane which were the chief treasures of Records as also to the Archbishops principal Registers and Registers of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury of Wills and Testaments Dispensations for Marriages c. 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
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.

Ch. 1. of blessed memory where he performed great things for his cause and afterwards did constantly adhere to K Ch. 2. in the tedious time of his calamitous exile Afterwards for these his loyal actings and sufferings he was by his Majesty after his restauration made L.

D. and dying at Dublin was buried in the Chap. of Trinity Coll. there on the 13 of Nov. 1670. Soon after were published An Elegy and funeral Oration on his death In both which the last being in Lat. and spoken in the Hall of the said Coll. just before he was inter'd may be seen a just character of his great learning and worth He was originally of the University of Cambridge and hath written among other things A Letter of advice to a young Gentleman leaving the Vniversity concerning his behaviour and conversation in the world Printed in tw 1670 c. The said letter was
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.
