It is penned in a Juridic Stile and is now or at least lately was reserved as a choice Monument in the Cottonian Library Whether ever Printed I cannot tell At length after King Henry 7. who favoured his actions because he brought Grist to his Mill being dead his Successor King Henry 8. did for the Peoples satisfaction issue out his special Precept for the Execution of the said Dudley then a Prisoner in the Tower of London Whereupon he had his Head smitten off on Tower-Hill 28.

Henry 8. being the year of our Lord fifteen hundred and ten year 1510 leaving then behind him several Sons the eldest of which was John afterwards Duke of Northumberland Father to Ambrose Dudley Earl of Warwick and to Robert Dudley Earl of Leicester JOHN HOLTE called by some Holtigena was born in the County of Sussex and from being Usher of the School joyning to the common gate of S. Mary Magdalen College and Bachelaur of Arts was elected Probationer of the said College in 1490. and within the compass of an year following was admitted true and perpetual Fellow thereof Afterwards he took the Degree of Master of Arts and carried on the profession of Pedagogy so zealous that by his admirable way of teaching the Faculty of Grammar many from his School were transplanted to several Colleges and Halls in this University that were afterwards eminent in the Nation Since which time and that of King Henry 7. hath been a singular care of Royal Authority and of worthy learned men to lay a solid Foundation of all kind of Learning by producing a right Grammar-Institution For tho before the said King's time a great part of our English men had little leisure and less care of good Arts yet when the Houses of York and Lancaster were united by the Counsel of Dr. John Moreton Bishon of Ely and the times thereupon became more peaceable our Author Holte made a Grammar Entit Lac Puerorum c. Printed about the year 1497. and Dedicated to the said Moreton then Archbishop of Canterbury Which Grammar Printed also with the Works of John Stanbridge being the first of note or most fit for use that was ever Printed in England was much used and taken into the hands of all sorts of Scholars Afterwards the said Stanbridge and his Scholar Robert Whittington with others did put forth divers Treaties of Grammar but more especially Dr. John Colet the learned Dean of S. Paul's Cathedral who compiled the Eight parts of Speech and William Lilye the first Master of S. Paul's School an English Syntax whereunto Cardinal Thomas Wolsey did afterwards prefix an Epistle and directions for teaching the eight Classes or Forms in Ipswich School The learned Erasmus also intreated by Dr. Colet to revise Lilyes Syntax made a new Latin Syntax in 1513. upon which Henry Pryme a School-Master in a certain Monastery and Leonard Cox of Carleon in Monmouthshire Commented the former in 1539. and the other in 1540. But these things being spoken by the by I shall only say that our Author Holte being esteemed the most eminent Grammarian of his time there is no doubt but that he did Compose other things belonging to Grammar which perhaps are now quite lost and past recovery as the time of his death and place of burial is One Holte who was Master to Sir Thomas More Lord Chancellor of England did publish an Accedence and Grammar about the same time that Lac Puerorum was made extant Which Holte is in the Auction Catalogue of Mr. Richard Smith sometimes Secondary of the Poultry Compter written Nich.

Qu. whether not mistaken for John NICHOLAS MAGWIRE was born in Idron within the Kingdom of Ireland Educated among the Oxonians and took one or more Degrees Afterwards returning to his Country he was made Prebendary of Hillard in the Diocess of Laighlin being then and after accounted famous among his Country-men for his great Learning and constant Preaching among them In 1490. he was by provision from the Pope promoted to the Bishoprick of Laighlin aged about thirty one years Where being settled he began to write several Books but being untimely snatch'd away by death finished only these following Chronicon Hiberniae of which Thaddeus Dowling made use when he Composed his Annales Hiberniae and Vita Milonis de Rupe Episc quondan Laighliensis This our Author Magwire year 1512 died in fifteen hundred and twelve 4. Hen. 8. and was buried as it seems in his own Church of Laighlin In his Bishoprick succeeded one Thomas Halsey Doctor of both the Laws whom I shall remember in his proper place among the Bishops that have received their Education in Oxon. MAURITIUS de PORTU otherwise called O-Fihely who in his time was for his great Learning and Virtue called and written by many The Flower of the World was born in the County of Cork near to a celebrated Port called Baltimore in Ireland where the antient Seat of the O-Fihely's was placed instructed for some time in Grammaticals and Trivials in this Universiâ—â— and not unlikely in other Learning after he had taken upon him the Habit of S. Francis in the Convent of the Brethren of that Order situated in the South Suburb of Oxon wherein the person that he admired beyond all the World John Duns Scotus had spent some years in Religion and Learning and in the Library of which place many of his Books had been Religiously preserved From Oxon he Travelled into Italy and setling in the University of Padöua or Padua then flourishing in Learning made very great proficiency in Philosophy in the Monastery of the Franciscans called S. Antony and at riper years applied himself severely to the study of Metaphysicks School-Divinity and above all to the Doctrin of John Duns whom he had in so great veneration that he was in a manner besotted with his Subtilities After he had taken the Degree of Doctor of Divinity in which Faculty he for some time Read with great applause among the Brethren he became known to and much respected by Pope Julius 2. who for a reward of his Learning and Vertues conferred on him the Archbishoprick of Tuam in Ireland in the year 1506. In 1512. he was present at the two first Sessions of the Council of Lateran and in the year following minding to return to his Native Country he obtained a Faculty from the Pope of granting Indulgences to all such that should retire to Tuam to hear the first Mass that he should Celebrate there but at his arrival at Galloway being overtaken with a deadly Disease died before he could Celebrate it His Works which have been much admired and
set before the History of Cambria which was translated into English by the said Lloyd and augmented corrected and published by Dav. Powell an 1584. The said Description of Cambria was Printed again at Oxon. 1663. in two sheets and an half in qu. under the title of A description of Wales but it doth so much differ in words from the former that many Readers are apt to take it for another thing Tractatus de Eucharistia This I have not yet seen only a bare mention of it by Baleus Nor do I know any thing else of the Author only that he died in Qu.

Ed. 6. but upon his death falling into the displeasure of Qu. Mary and so consequently depriv'd of his place and all hopes of other employment in the Court he thereupon designed her murther one saith that the design was against Steph. Gardiner Bishop of Winchester for which he was sent Prisoner to the Tower of London on the 20. Feb. 1553. in the company of Will. Winter and Sir Nich. Throckmorton committed to that place also On the 26. of the same Month being much conscious to himself that he should suffer a shameful death he endeavour'd to make away with himself by thrusting a knife into his body under his paps but the wound did not prove mortal On the 9. of May 1554. he was arraigned and condemned at the Guild hall in Lond. and on the 18. of the same Month he was drawn from the Tower to Tyburn where after he had made a Speech in defence of himself he told the company that he died for his Country He was a Man of a hot fiery spirit had suck'd in damnable principles by his frequent conversation with Christoph Goodman that violent enemy to the rule of Women and one of more misguided zeal than true Religion and Wisdom This Will.

More was Lord Chancellour of England in whose time many Hereticks as they were then called were imprison'd and brought into trouble Whereupon being resolved to gain what Proselytes he could to his Religion he changed his name to Joh.

Elizabeth not only commend the Treason but excited others in the said Epistle to the like exploit or perfidiousness as if they were neither bound to serve nor obey an excommunicated Queen At which time the said Allyn dispatched away divers Priests to Rowl York whose Regiment of 13 hundred consisted all of English and Irish to be Chaplains and Confessors to them In the year 1588. our author Allyn compiled a Book to be published when the Spaniard should arrive into England to stir up all the English Papists to take up Arms against the Queen The first part of the said Book was intit A declaration of the Sentence of Sixtus 5.

Secretary of the Latin Tongue and one of the Masters of the Requests 'T is supposed by some and confidently reported by others that are learned that tho he lived not to publish any thing yet several matters he left behind him fit for the Press but of what Subject or Faculty they treat I could never learn He deceased in the prime of his years whereby a stop was given to his father promotion at his house called Parsons Green near to London 28.

Jan. 1618. and that upon several complaints against him for certain frauds used by him in withdrawing sums of Money in his Rectorship and place of Treasurer before mentioned he was removed from those imployments in Apr. 1619.

By whom being back'd on he became an active man in the House against the Prerogative Bishops and the establish'd discipline of the Church insomuch that no less than the abolishing of all decent order in the service of God would satisfie him So that the members of the said Parliament looking upon him as a faithful person for the cause that they then drove on appointed him a Commander in their Army as I shall anon tell you As for the things which he wrote and published are 1 The nature of truth c.

Udall be the same with him that was the Writer the Reader is to judge RALPH RADCLIFF was born of and descended from an ancient Family of his name in Cheshire received part of his Academical Education in this University particularly as I conceive in Brasenose Coll. about the time of its first foundation but whether he took a Degree it appears not The genie of this Person being strangely addicted to the instruction of Youth he obtained part of the Carme's House at Huchin or Hitchin in Hertfordshire an 1538. being about that time dissolved wherein he not only opened a School but framed out a lower room into a Stage for his Scholars to act Latin and English Comedies to the end that they might be emboldened for speaking and pronuntiation Which practice being used by them several Years his School was in great renown he grew rich and was had in much veneration in the neighbourhood He had many Tragedies Comedies Epistles Orations c. laying by him in the time of K. Ed. 6. which as he would often tell his Friends he would never publish till they had remained by him 9 Years And whether they were ever published I cannot yet learn The titles of some of his labours were these Dives and Lazarus a Comedy Patient Greseld Com. Friendship of Titus and Gisippus Com. Chaucers Melibie Com. Job's afflictions Trag. Delivery of Susanna from the Elders The burning of Sodom Pugna nominis verbi De pueroum institutione Epistolae ad Tyrones Epigrammata c. With other things which may be seen in Baleus who further tells us that he was in great renown at Huchin in Fifteen hundred fifty and three He lived several Years after died and was buried there but when I cannot yet learn One or more of his descendants for he was married and had issue were Knights particularly Sir Edw. Radcliff of Hitchin living in the time of K. James 1. JOHN RHESE or ap Rise or Prise or Priseus so many ways I find him written by Authors was born of a gentile and ancient Family in Wales but in what County is yet uncertain or in what House in Oxon educated unless in the ancient hostle called Broadgates now Pembroke Coll. wherein several of both his names and time have studied Among them was John Prise Bac. of the Civil Law who in the Year 1530. supplicated for the Degree of Bac. of Can. Law and two Years after John ap Rice a secular Chaplain was admitted to the same Degree which probably may be the same with Joh. Price Bach. of the Civil Law Farther also I find that in 1523. one John Prise of Allsouls Coll. was admitted Bach. of the Civil Law and that he died 1554 And in 1534. occurs another Joh. Price of Broadgates Hall I think who was admitted Bach. of the Civil Law without any title added to it which perhaps may be the Author that I am further to mention who being encouraged in his studies by William Earl of Pembroke made great advances therein especially as to the Histories and Antiquities of his own Country In 1546. March 2. he with many others received the honor of Knighthood from the hands of Edward Lord Protector of England About which time our Author observing the great and manifold errors which were made by Pol. Virgil in his Historiae Anglicae Libri 27 wherein many things redounded to the dishonor of the British Nation he thereupon published Fides Historiae Britannicae Defensio Regis Arthuri And wrot about the Year 1553. 1. Mar. a Book intit Historiae Britannicae defensio But the Author dying before he could have it published was at length in the Year 1573. put out in qu. under the name of Joh. Priseus by his Son Rich. Prise D. D. He the said Sir John did also write A description of Cambria now called Wales Augmented and made perfect by Humph. Lloyd and
variety of other mens labours in Grammar of whom Joh. Stanbridge Rob. Whittington Joh. Colet and Lilye were of the number sprang a great diversity in the course of teaching which King Hen. 8. intending to reform caused sundry learned Men of whom Dr. Rich. Cox Tutor to K. Ed. 6. is supposed to be one to reduce the former attempts in this kind into one body of Grammar which they jointly did in 1545 being that now in use and first authorized by K. Hen. 8. Howbeit soon after it was thought too prolix for in the Reign of Ed. 6. John Fox of Magd. Coll. did set forth Tables of Grammar subscribed in Print by eight Lords of the Privy Council which Tables were quickly laid aside as being far more too short than K. Hen. 8. his Grammar was too long Since which time many learned Men in England and far more abroad have spent much profitable study in this Art and the method thereof as we well know In the 3. of Ed. 6. Dom. 1549. he the said Thom. Robertson was one of the number appointed by the K. and his Council to compile and frame the Liturgy of the Church which we now call the Common-Prayers and in the Year 1557. Jul. 23. he had the Deanery of Durham confer'd on him by the Queen being then void upon the promotion of Dr. Tho. Watson to the See of Lincoln who had been instituted in the said Deanery by Tonstall Bishop of Durham 18. Nov. 1553. upon the deprivation of Dr. Rob. Horne at which time being greatly in respect for his piety and learning the Queen would have had him taken a Bishoprick but he modestly refused it His works are Annotationes in librum Guliel Lilii de Latinorum nominum generibus de verborum praeteritis supinis c. De nominibus heteroclitis opusculum cum annotationibus De verbis defectivis append interjectis etiam sparsim ubi opus videbatur annotatiunculis Compendium sive de arte versificandi cum annotationibus additis All which Books were printed together at Basil 1532. qu. What other things he hath published I know not nor any thing else of him only that he was forced first to leave the Deanery of Durham to make room for Dr. Horne about the latter end of 1559 who being soon after made Bishop of Winchester Robertson might if he would have taken the Oath of Supremacy have came in again but he refused it whereupon Ralph Skynner of Oxon succeeded and secondly to resign his Archdeaconry of Leycester to prevent ejection so that the said Dignity lying void for some time Rich Barber LL. D. was installed therein 24. Dec. 1560. What afterwards became of Tho. Robertson or where or when he died let others seek for I am totally ignorant John Parkhurst B. of Norwich sometimes his Scholar hath an Epigram on him in praise of his learning which may serve instead of his Epitaph if you think fit WILLIAM CHEADSEY a Somersetshire Man born was admitted Scholar of Corp. Chr. Coll. 16. March 1528. aged 18. or thereabouts Probationer-Fellow 13. Oct. 1531 and two years after compleat Fellow In 1534 he proceeded in Arts and in 1542 he was admitted to the reading of the Sentences being about that time Chaplain to Dr. Bonner B. of London who having a special respect for his learning and zeal for the R. Catholick Religion he made him not only Archdeacon of Middlesex but Prebendary of St. Pauls Cathedral In 1546 he proceeded in Divinity having about that time subscribed to the 34 Articles and three years after did learnedly dispute with Pet. Martyr in the Divinity School From which time an 1549 he seemed so moderate in his Religion in the remaining part of the Reign of K. Ed. 6. that the Protestants took him to be one of their number In the beginning of Qu. Mary he was made Canon of Windsore shewed himself a zealous Man against the Professors of Protestancy and in 1557 had a Canonry of Ch. Ch. in Oxon confer'd on him after the death of James Curthopp In 1558 he was elected President of Corp. Ch. Coll. and on the 15. Sept. in the same Year he was admitted thereunto but removed from it the next Year by the Commissioners sent by Qu. Elizabeth to visit the University About that time he was appointed one of the number of the R. Catholick Divines to repair to London to dispute with those of the Protestant Party when the said Queen was setting on foot a Reformation in the Church of England He was by the Protestants accounted a very mutable and unconstant Man in his Religion but by the Rom. Catholicks not but rather a great stickler for their Religion and the chief prop in his time in the University for the cause as it appeared not only in his opposition of P. Martyr but of the three Bishops that were burnt in Oxon. He was a learned Man a deep Divine an excellent Disputant and a characterised by John Leland to be resonae Scholae columna His works are Serm. on Matth. 22. 15.

Fox wherein you 'll find several of his discourses with and examination of Protestant Martyrs At length he was deprived of most if not all of his spiritualities and committed a Prisoner to the Fleet in London where as 't is supposed by some he died soon after However in my searches into obscure Writings I find that one John Joanes a Priest living at or near Thame in Oxfordshire did by his last Will dated 27. of Aug. and proved the 16. of Oct. following an 1574 bequeath to Mr. Dr. Chedsey twenty shillings By which it appears that he was then living but where I find not nor when he died BARTHOLMEW TRAHERON commonly called Trahern was born in Cornwall or at least originally descended from an ancient Family of his name living in that County educated in Logicals and Philosophicals for the most part with us either in Exeter Coll. or Hart hall where he attained to some eminence in the Lat. and Greek Tongues But being desirous to improve himself in greater matters and to see the fashions of the World he travelled into Germany and thence into Italy where he was an auditor and an admirer of many famous Men By whose excellent Lectures and his indefatigable industry he became a compleat Person and much respected by Scholars Afterwards he returned into his own Country entred
into holy Orders and was made Library keeper to K. Ed. 6. who finding him to be a Person of Merit conferr'd the Deanery of Chichester on him about 1551. But when Qu. Mary came to the Crown he left his preferments and as a voluntary exile went into Germany where accompanying other English Exiles that had fled thence for Religion sake continued there till the death of Qu. Mary and then returning was restored to what he had lost and without doubt was rewarded with more While he was beyond the Sea he exercised himself much in writing matters in verse and prose in both which he wrot several things with great happiness especially those to his Brother Thomas to embrace the true Doctrine of Jesus Christ that is to leave the R. Catholick Church turn Protestant and come over to him Among many things that he wrot were Paraenesis lib. 1.

Religion that he made a solemn Protestation in Qu. Maries Reign that he would see the nntermost drop of his Grease molten away and the last gobbet of his Flesh consumed to Ashes before he would forsake God and his truth He lived after Qu. Elizabeth came to the Crown and was imprison'd for a time but when or where he died I know not PETER MARTYR who is to have a place in these Athenae was born in the great and rich City of Florence in Italy in Sept. on the Nativity of the Virgin Marie an 1500 educated in several sorts of Learning in that City by the great care of his Father Steph. Vermilius became a Canon regular of the Order of S. Austin at 16 years of age in the Coll. at Fiesoli more than a mile distant from Florence After he had spent three years there he was sent to Padua to enlarge his Learning that University then being in a flourishing Condition and setling in the Monastery of St. John de Verdera of the same Order of S. Austin spent almost 8 years in philosophical Studies and all other Arts especially in the Greek Tongue and Poets which at length he conquered At 26 years of age he began to preach and the first time he performed that Office was in the Church of St. Afra in Brescia and afterwards frequently in the most famous Cities of Italy However all the time that he could obtain from his Function was spent in sacred Learning Philosophy and in obtaining the Hebrew Tongue At length being cried up for a celebrated Scholar he was made Abbat of Spoleto in the Duchy of L'Ombria in Italy where he continued three years Thence he was translated to Naples and there became Abbat of the Monastery of his Order called St. Peter ad aram being of greater profit and a far more pleasant place than Spoleto After he had been setled there for some time he began to see the verity of the Gospel especially after he had read some of the Works of Bucer and Zwinglius Three years being spent there also he fell into a dangerous Sickness but the strength of Nature overcoming it he was advised by his Physitians to take better Air than what Naples afforded To that end therefore that he might with convenience be absent from his Cure the Fathers chose him General Visitor of their Order that is of the Order of S. Austin and soon after was elected Prior of S. Fridian within the City of Luca which is a place of great dignity having Episcopal Jurisdiction in the middle part of the said City Being setled at that place he instituted a most admirable way of Studies for the younger sort at Luca but at length his Opinions as to Heresie then so called being discovered snares were laid for him so that being not in a capacity to speak his mind he by the advice of certain Friends committed the best part of his Library to the Custody of one of them gave another part to the Coll. and forthwith left Luca and went to Pisa whence he wrote Letters to Card. Pole shewing the Reasons of his Departure Afterwards he went into Schwitzerlands and fixed for some time at Zurich Thence to Strasburgh where for about five years he read and taught sacred Letters in which time he took to Wife he being near 50 years of Age one Cath. Dampmartin causing thereupon his Enemies to say that he left his Order and Monastic Vows purposely for the sake of a Woman Which Wife after she had lived with him about 8 years died at Oxon as I shall anon tell you In 1547 he was invited into England by Edward Lord Protector and Dr. Cranmer Archb. of Canterbury to the end that his Assistance might be used to carry on a Reformation in the Church In the Month of Dec. the same year he with Bemnardine Ochine another Italian arrived in England and retiring to Lambeth were kindly received by Archb. Cranmer and entertained there for some time About the latter end of the same year in Feb. or
PULLAYNE a Yorkshire Man born was educated in New Coll. of which he was either Clerk or Chaplain or both successively and in the Year 1547. being then 3 years standing Master of Arts and thirty years of Age was admitted one of the Senior Students of Ch. Ch. and much in esteem for his Lat. and English Poetry About that time he became a frequent Preacher and a zealous Reformer but when Qu. Mary came to the Crown he absconded and preached privately to the brethren in the Parish of St. Michael on Cornhill in London where I find him in 1556. Afterwards he was forced beyond the Seas to Geneva but returned when Qu. Elizab. was in the regal Throne and had the Archdeaconry of Colchester bestowed on him lately enjoyed by Dr. Hugh Weston besides other spiritualities He hath written Tract against the Arrians And translated into English verse 1 The Ecclesiastes of Salomon 2 Hist of Susanna 3 Hist of Judith 4 Hist of Hester 5 Testament of the 12. Patriarchs He went the way of all flesh year 1565 in Fifteen hundred sixty and five which is all I know of him only that after his death fell out a controversie among his Relations for his estate under pretence that his Children were illegitimate because he had taken to him a Wife in K. Edwards Reign The Reader is to understand that there was one John Pollayne an Oxfordshire Man born elected and admitted Prob. Fellow of Merton Coll. in 1507. but what he hath written I know not he being altogether different from the former notwithstanding Baleus is pleased to tell us that the said former Pullayne the Writer was of Merton Coll. which is false THOMAS CHALONER Son of Reg. Chaloner by Margaret his Wife Daughter of Rich. Middleton Son of Tho. Chaloner second Son of Rice Chaloner of Denbigh in Wales was born in London educated in both the Universities especially in that of Cambridge where for a time he devoted himself to the Muses as he did afterwards to Mars After he had left the University he travell'd beyond the Seas in the company of Sir Hen. Knevet Embassador from K. Hen. 8. to the Emperor Charles 5. Which Emperor T. Chaloner did afterwards serve in the expedition of Algier where being Shipwrack'd did after he had sworn till his strength and his armes failed him catch hold of a Cable with his teeth and so escaped but not without the loss of some of them In the beginning of K. Ed. 6. he received the honor of Knighthood in the camp besides Rokesborough immediatly after the battel of Musselborough wherein he had shewed great valour from Edward Duke of Somerset Lord Protector of England 27. Sept. 1547. and soon after was by him made one of the Clerks of the Privy Council In the time of Qu. Mary he mostly lived in a retir'd and studious condition but in the very beginning of Qu. Elizabeth an 1558. he went on an honorable Embassie to the Emperour Ferdinand such esteem then had the Queen for his port carriage and admirable parts and about an year after was sent ordinary Embassador to Philip K. of Spayne where he continued 4 years in which time at leisure hours he wrot his Book of a Commonwealth which I shall anon mention in elegant and learned verse whilst as he saith in his Preface to it be lived in Winter in a stove and in Summer in a barne Soon after his return from Spayne he ended his days as I shall tell you by and by having before written several things as A little Dictionary for Children De Rep. Anglorum instauranda lib. 10. Lond. 1579. qu. Which Book was by him began 25. Dec. 1562. and ended 21. Jul. 1564.

Ch. of St. Paul within the said City of London His Son Thomas I shall mention among these Writers under the Year 1615. and his Grandson Edward under 1625. JOHN HEYWOOD or Heewood a most noted Poet and jester of his time was born in the City of London and notwithstanding he is said to be Civis Londinensis yet he laid a foundation of learning in this University particularly as it seems in that ancient Hostle called Broadgates in St. Aldates Parish But the crabbedness of Logick not suiting with his airie genie he retired to his native place and became noted to all witty Men especially to Sir Tho. More with whom he was very familiar wrot several matters of Poetry and was the first as some say but I think false that wrot English plays taking opportunity thence to make notable work with the Clergy He had admirable skill also in instrumental and vocal Musick but whether he made any compositions in either I find not He was in much esteem with K. H. 8. for the mirth and quickness of his conceits and tho he had little learning in him yet he was by that King well rewarded After Qu. Mary came to the Crown he was much valued by her often had the honor to wait on and exercise his fancy before her which he did even to the time that she lay langushing on her death-bed After her decease he left the Nation for Religion sake and setled at Mechlin in Brabant which is a wonder to some who will allow no Religion in Poets that this Person should above all of his Profession be a voluntary exile for it He hath written The Play called the four PP being a new and merry enterlude of a Palmer Pardoner Poticary and Pedler Printed at London in an old Engl. character in qu. and hath in the title page the pictures of three Men there should be 4 in old fashioned habits wrought off from a wooden cut Interludes printed at London The Play Of love The Play Of weather The Play Between John the Husband and Tib the Wife Interludes Printed at Lond.

Whittyngham Gent. by his Wife the Daughter of Haughton of Haughton Tower Son of Will. Whittyngham of Over Son of Seth Whittyngham of Swanlow in Cheshire was born in the City of Chester became a Commoner of Brasnose Coll. in the sixteenth year of his age 1540 or thereabouts where being put under a careful Tutor did make great proficiency in learning In 1545 he was elected Fellow of Allsouls College being then Bach. of Arts in which faculty proceeding two years after was made one of the Senior Students of Ch. Church at what time it was founded by K. Hen. 8. and endeavoured by him to be replenish'd with the choicest Scholars in the University On the 17. May 1550 he had leave granted to him to travel for 3 years by the Dean and Canons of the said house whereupon he went into France and remaining in the company of learned Men there for some time had intentions to go into Italy but being prevented by sickness which took him at Lyons he spent some time among the Students in Paris but chiefly in the University of Orleance About that time if I mistake not he took to Wife Catherine the Daughter of Lewis Jacqueine by his Wife the heir of Gouteron Lord of Ingrue and Turvyle near to the said City of Orleance After he had spent more than an year there he went to certain Universities in Germany and thence to Geneva where tarrying till towards the latter end of K. Ed. 6. he returned into England But that King dying and Religion seeming to put on another face he went with other company into France where hearing soon after that certain Protestant Divines of England were for Religion sake fled to Frankfort and were about with license from the Magistrate to settle a Church there did hasten thither and entred himself into their association But they dissenting among themselves concerning matters pertaining to Religion were forced to disjoyn and those that did best like of the forms of government of the Church of England in the days of K. Ed. 6. were to remain at Frankfort and those that liked better the order and discipline of the Church at Geneva were to go to that place among whom Whittyngham was one and the chiefest as you may farther see in a book entit A brief discourse of the troubles begun at Frankford 1554 Printed 1575 wherein the opposite and restless humour of this Person may easily be discern'd Soon after their settlement at Geneva John Knox a Scot Minister of the English congregation there was to leave that place and return to his Country so that Whittyngham being look'd upon as the fittest Person to succeed was earnestly desired by Joh. Calvin to take that employment upon him but he alledging that in his former travels and observations with the learning of several languages he had fitted himself more for state employment than that he modestly denied it At length Calvin urging him farther he was thereupon made a Minister according to the Geneva fashion and then took the employment upon him Soon after Miles Coverdale Christop Goodman Anth. Gilby Tho. Sampson Wil. Cole of C. C. Coll. and this our Author Whittyngham undertook the translation of the English Bible but before the greater part was finished Qu. Maary died So that the Protestant Religion appearing again in England the exil'd Divines left Frankfort and Geneva and returned into England Howbeit Whittyngham with one or two more being resolv'd to go through with the work did tarry at Geneva an year and an half after Qu. Elizab. came to the Crown At the same time also he turned into meter those Psalmes that we to this day sing in our Churches inscribed with W. W. They are in number five of which the 119 Psalme is one as large as 22 other Psalmes as also the ten commandments and a prayer at the end of the book of Psalmes At length Whittyngham returning into England he was appointed to go in company with Francis Earl of Bedford to condole the death of the French King an 1560 and soon after to go with Ambrose Earl of Warwick to Newhaven to be preacher there while the said Earl defended it against the French Where tho he shew'd himself ready in his function yet he spared not to perswade the English from Uniformity and observance of the rites and ceremonies of the Church Notwithstanding this so great a respect had the said Earl for him that upon writing to his Brother Robert Earl of Leycester he procured for him from the Queen the Deanery of Durham in 1563 in the place of Ralf Skinner Which Deanery the Queen having partly promised Dr. Tho. Wilson one of the Secretaries of State was forced by the over-intreaties of the said Earl to give it to Whittyngham who enjoying it about 16 years was then succeeded by the said Wilson who enjoyed it not two years After Whittyngham had remained there for some time Sir Will. Cecill Secretary of State was made Lord Treasurer in whose place Whittyngham was among others nominated and had he stirred in it and made interest with his friend Robert Earl of Leycester he might have obtained it About the same time the order of the sacerdotal vestures being generally established for Church-men and so pressed that they that would not use the same should not be permitted to exercise their Ministry he then and not before submitted himself thereunto And being upbraided therewith for so doing by one that had been with him at Geneva he answered that he and others knew and had heard John Calvin say that for external matters of Order they might not neglect their Ministry for so should they for tithing of Mint neglect the greater things of the Law And as concerning singing in the Church Whittyngham did so far allow of it that he was very careful to provide the best songs and anthems that could be got out of the Queens Chappel to furnish his choire withal himself being skilful in Musick To pass by the good service he did his Country against the Popish rebels in the North-parts of England in 1569 and his Church of Durham in repelling the Archbishop of York his visiting it an 1578. I shall only take notice that whereas he is stiled by certain Authors the false and unworthy Dean of Durham was because he was only Master of Arts the statutes of the Ch. of Durham requiring that the Dean thereof should be Bach. of Divinity at least that he was not a Minister according to the form of the Church of England but of Geneva and that he was but a luke-warm conformist at the best The publick works that he hath done as to learning are 1 His Translation of the Geneva Bible 2 His turning into Meter several of the Psalmes of David as I have before told you 3 His translation into Latine the Liturgie of the Church of

Cath. cause in his time was born at Charlewood in Surrey educated in Grammar learning in Wykehams School near Winchester admitted true and perpetual Fellow of New Coll. an 1548 Bach. of the Laws 3 year after and about 1557 Shagling Lecturer or as he himself saith tanquam regius professor juris canonici But Religion putting on another face in the beginning of Q. Eliz. he left England about 1560 and going to Rome was made Priest and D. of D. and soon after went with Cardinal Stanislaus Hosius to the Council of Trent where he shew'd himself to be a Man of great parts by his several disputations and arguings Which Cardinal having an especial respect for made him his individual comparison in his journey into Poland Prussia and Lithuania As for the chief actions of his life that followed his Sisters Son John Pitseus will tell you But that which I must not forget now to let you know is that when he was a Nuntio from P. Gregory 13 into Ireland where he with 3 Ships full of Spaniards landed at Smerwick in Kerrey about the first of July 1579 to encourage the Irish there to take up arms and rebel against Qu. Elizabeth was after they with the said Spaniards had been overcome by the English forced to abscond in caves dens woods c. At length after two years time being not able to hold out longer did miserably perish by hunger and cold at the same time as my Author saith but as it seems false that Gerald Fitz-Gerald Earl of Desmond chief captain of the rebels was taken in a poor cottage and kill'd Of which matter hear what the learned Canmden tells us The principal of whom meaning the priests that persuaded the said Earlto forfeit his allegiance to his Prince was Nich. Saunders an English Man who very near at the same instant of time was miserably famish'd to death when forsaken of all and troubled in mind for the bad success of the rebellion he wandred up and down among woods forests and mountains and found no comfort or relief In his pouch were found several speeches and letters made and written to confirm the rebels stuffed with large promises from the Bishop of Rome and the Spaniard Thus the divine justice if a Man may judge stopped that mouth with hunger which had been always open to encourage rebellions and to belch forth malicious lies and slanders For to omit other things he was the first Man that broached that abominable lye concerning the birth of Qu. Elizabeths Mother which no Man in those days though the hatred and the malice of the Papists was then fresh against her and might remember it ever knew England in full forty years after never heard of the computation of time doth egregiously convince of falshood and vanity and he forgetting himself which a lyar should not do doth himself plainly confute c.

Alaskie Prince of Sirad when he was entertained by the Oxonian Muses About that time taking one degree in Physick he setled within the City of Bath where he became as much noted for his happy success in the practice of Physick as before he was for his Lat. Poetry in the University He wrote in Lat.

Elizabeth and thence having a rambling head to Tanridge in the same County where I find him in 1604. to be a Schoolmaster and as it seems a practitioner in Physick His works are these Two godly Sermons Preached at Manchester in Lanc.

Afterwards he retired for a time to Cambridge where he had the degree of M. of A. confer'd upon him About the same time being a Student in the Inner Temple he became a Barrister travelled into Foreign parts and was detained for a time a Prisoner in Rome whence his liberty was procured for his return into England to possess the vast inheritance left to him by his Father an 1566.

Elizabeth he was constituted Lord Treasurer of England and in the beginning of K. James was created Earl of Dorset From his puerile years to his last he was a continual favourer and furtherer of learning And having been in his younger days poetically inclined did write while he continued in Oxon several Latin and English Poems which tho published either by themselves or mixed among other Mens Poems yet I presume they are lost or forgotten as having either no name to them or that the copies are worn out He had also an excellent faculty in composing Tragedies and was esteemed the best of his time for that part of the Stage But what remains of his labours in that way that are extant I could never see but this following The Tragedy of Ferrex and Porrex Sons to Gorboduc King of Brittain Acted before the Queen by the Gentlemen of the Inner Temple at White-hall 18.

Proctor Master thereof whom I have mentioned elsewhere was thence sent to this University at which time several of his Sirname of Wilts studied there and one of both his names and a Knight's Son of the same County was a Commoner of Magd. coll in 1577. Whether our author Franc. Thynne went afterwards to Cambridge or was originally a Student there before he came to Oxon I cannot justly say it Sure it is that his Genie tempting him to leave the crabbedness of Logick and Philosophy and to embrace those delightful studies of Histories and Genealogies he became at length one of the Officers of Arms by the title of Blanch-Lyon and afterwards Herald by that of Lancaster which he kept to his dying day His works are The Annals of Scotland in some part continued from the time in which Ra.

JOHN BOND Bondius a most noted critick in Greek and Latin learning of his time was born in Somersetshire educated in Grammaticals in Wykehams School near Winton became a Student in this University about the nineteenth year of his age an 1569. took a degree in Arts 4 years after being either one of the Clerks or Chaplains of New coll and much noted for his proficiency in Academical learning In 1579. he proceeded in Arts and had soon after the Mastership of the Free-School of Taunton St. Maryâ— Madg. in his own Country conferred on him by the Warden and Society of New coll At which place continuing many years he did exercise such an admirable way of teaching that many departed thence so excellently well grounded in humane learning that they proved afterwards eminent either in Church or State At length being in a manner worn out with the drudgery of a School he did for diversion I cannot say profit practice Physick tho he had taken no degree in that Faculty in this University and became at length Chief Secretary to the Lord Chancellour of England Egerton if one of his admirers may be credited As for his writings which are used by the Juniors of our Universities and in many Free-Schools and more admired and printed beyond the Seas than in England they are these Commentarii in Poemata Q. Horatii Flacci Printed 1606. oct and several times after beyond the Sea and at London Comment in sex Satyras A. Persii Lond. 1614. oct published after the author's death by Rog. Prows who married his Daughter Elizabeth He hath at least written if not published other things but such I have not yet seen He yielded up his last breath on the third of Aug. in sixteen hundred and twelve year 1612 being then possessed of several lands and tenements in Taunton Wilton near Taunton and in Newenton and was buried in the Chancel of the Church at Taunton before-mentioned Over his grave was this Epitaph soon after put Qui Medicus doctus prudentis nomine clarus Eloquii splendor Pieridumque decus Virtutis cultor pietatis vixit amicus Hoc jacet in tumulo spiritus alta tenet The Reader is now to know that there was another John Bond but after the time of the former Son of Dennis Bond of Dorchester in Dorsetshire who having been educated in his youthful years under John White commonly called The Patriarch of Dorchester and from him sucked in most dangerous principles was sent to Cambridge and placed I think in S. Johns coll where he took the degree of Bach. of Civ Law Afterwards he was made a Lecturer in the City of Exeter and carried himself conformable for a season But when the times turned in 1641. and he saw that the Puritan began to be uppermost then did he Preach very seditiously and published what he had said under this title A door of Hope Also holy and loyal activity Two Treatises delivered in several Sermons in Exeter The first on Psal. 126. 1 2. and the other on Exod. 17. 11. Lond. 1641. qu. Both which do contain most scandalous and rebellious stuff besides what he preached in a Serm. in the said City before the Deputy-Lievtenants Lond. 1643. qu. So that having thus began his pranks and shewed himself a zealous Brother for the Cause and a rank Covenanteer he was made Preacher or Minister of the Savoy in the Strand near London in the place of Joh. White before-mentioned when he passed over the water to Lambeth to take possession of the Rectory there belonging to Dr. Dan. Featly one of the Assembly of Divines and about that time Doctor of the Laws This J. Bond by the way you must know being scarce warm in the Pulpit but he began to threaten Heaven with some of his Divinity by telling the auditory with great zeal that they ought to contribute and pray and do all they were able to bring in their Brethren of Scotland for the setling of Gods Cause I say this is Gods Cause and if ever God had any Cause this is it and if this be not Gods Cause then God is no God for me but the Devil is got up into Heaven c. About the same time he became a frequent Preacher before the Long-Parliament and hath 3 or more Sermons preached before the Members thereof published as 1 Salvation in a mystery c. on Jer. 45. 25. Lond. 1644. qu. It was a Fast Serm. pr. before the H. of Commons 27. Mar. 1644. 2 Ortus occidentalis or a dawning in the West c. on Isa. 25. 9. Lond. 1645. qu. 'T was a Thanksgiving Serm. for the Parliament Forces their gaining of Bathe Bridgwater Sherbourne Castle c. preached before the H. of Commons 22. Aug. 1645. and on the eleventh of Dec. following the said Jo. Bond was made Master of the Hospital called the Savoy under the great Seal 3 A Thanksgiving Serm. before the H. of Com. on Psal. 50. 23. Lond. 1648. qu. preached on the 19. Jul. 1648. In which year he had a Serm. published intit Grapes among Thornes preached before the H. of Commons In all which Sermons as in others which he delivered in London and Westminster are contained many strange positions rebellious doctrines religious cantings and I know not what About that time he was made Master of Trinity hall in Cambridge which Mr. Jo. Selden refused and in 1654. he was made an assistant to the Commissioners of Middlesex and Westminster for the ejection of such whom they then called scandalous and ignorant Ministers and Schoolmasters These things I thought
book written by the hand of Blackwell and subscribed by him as fit for the Press So that no other name being put to it hath caused our Librarians to insert him in the Catalogue of MSS. as the author of it whereas he was not but rather Franc. Tresham as I have told you elsewhere He the said Blackwell died suddenly having been much troubled with swooning fits on the 12. of Januar. in sixteen hundred and twelve and was buried as I conceive in some Church in London This next person according to time and order that must crave place is one who tho no writer worth the remembrance yet hath he been the greatest promoter of learning that hath yet appeared in our Nation THOMAS BODLEY another Ptolomey eldest Son of John Bodley of the City of Exeter by Joan his Wife Daughter and Heir of Rob. Hone of Otterie S. Mary in Devon Esq Son of Joh. Bodley of Tiverton second Son of John Bodley of Dunscumbe near Crediton in Devon Gent. was born in the said City of Exeter 2 Mar. 1544. partly educated in Grammar learning in the said City but mostly in Geneva while his Father lived there as a voluntary Exile in the time of Q. Mary where tho he was then very young yet he was an auditor of Chevalerius in Hebrew of Berealdus in Greek of Calvin and Beza in Divinity and of some other professors in the University there then newly erected besides his domestical teachers in the house of Philebertus Saracenus a famous Physician in that City with whom he was boarded where Rob. Constantinus that made the Greek Lexicon read Homer to him After the death of Q. Mary he returned into England with his Father and was sent to Magd. coll in 1559. where making great proficiency in Logick and Philosophy under Mr. Laur. Humphrey was admitted Bach. of Arts in Jul. 1563. and soon after being elected Probationer of Merton coll determined in the Lent following In 1565. he by the perswasion of some of the Fellows of that house and for his private exercise did read publickly for some years a Greek Lecture in the hall of that coll without expectation of any reward or stipend for his labour Nevertheless it pleased the Society to allow him soon after of their own accord four Marks by the year In 1566. he was admitted Master of Arts which degree being compleated he read Nat. Philosophy for an year in the Pub. Schools then situated on the East side of Schoolstreet In 1569. he was elected Junior Proctor of the University which office he performing with great commendations bestowed some time in the study of sundry Faculties without any inclination to profess any one above the rest At length being desirous to travel beyond the Seas for the obtaining of knowledge of some special modern tongues and for the increase of his experience in the managing of affairs to no other end but to imploy himself and all his cares in the publick Service of the State did with leave from the Warden and Society of his coll depart England with the allowance belonging to a traveller an 1576. and continued near 4 years in Italy France and Germany Afterwards returning to his coll he remained there for some time in studying politicks and historical affairs and in 1583. he was made Esquire of the Body to Q. Elizabeth At length in 1585. having about that time married Anne the Daughter of… Carew of the City of Bristow the rich Widdow as I have heard of one Ball was imployed by the Queen to Frederick K. of Denmark Julius Duke of Brunswyke William Lantgrave of Hesse and other German Princes Which imploymnet being faithfully performed he was sent to K. Hen. 3. of France at what time he was forced by the Duke of Guise to leave Paris In 1588. he was sent to the Hague for the better conduct of the Queen's affairs in the Vnited Provinces where making his residence for some years was admitted one of their Council of State took place in their Assemblies next to Count Maurice and gave a suffrage in all that was proposed In 1593. he returned into England for a time to look after his private Estate but was soon after remanded to the Hague again by the Q. where continuing near one year returned again to deliver some secret overtures to her and to perform thereupon an extraordinary service Soon after the applauding the fruit of his discoveries he was presently commanded to return to the States with charge to pursue those affairs to performance which he had secretly proposed At length all things being concluded and brought to the desired issue he procured his last revocation in 1597. At his return as before in his absence Burleigh the Lord Treasurer did several times tell the Queen that there was not any Man in England so meet as Bodley to undergo the office of Secretary by reason of his well-tryed Wisdom in the Low-Country affairs intending that he should be Colleague with his Son Rob. Cecill But the Earl of Essex commending him also to the Queen in a higher manner not without biting calumniations of Cecill Burleigh found means to divert the Queens mind from him supposing that Essex endeavoured to gain him to his party against Burleigh and Cecill So that Mr. Bodley being eased of ever expecting that troublesome office he retired from the Court and wholly commended himself to the care and provision for learning worthy indeed the care of the greatest King For about that time setting up his staff at the Library door in Oxford did restore or rather new found it the particulars of which I have elsewhere told you After K. Jam. came to the Crown he received the Honour of Knight from him and a few years before his death wrote His Life an 1609. Which being kept as a choice rarity in the archives of his Library was published at Oxon. 1647. qu. But this little thing is not the reason that I put him among the Oxford Writers but because by his noble and generous endeavours he hath been the occasion of making hundreds of publick Writers and of advancing in an high degree the Commonwealth of learning in which respect he should have craved the first place but I have put him here according to the time of his death which is the method I observe Letters of State Some of which I have seen published not in one vol. but scatteredly Letters relating to Books and Learning Written to Mr. Tho. James MS. in his Lib. He paid his last debt to nature 28.

Dean of Ch. Ch. in Oxon was born in Devon but originally descended from the Carews of Carew Castle in Pembrokshire became a Gent. Commoner of Broadgates hall in 1572. aged 15. About which time two of his Sirname studied in Vniversity coll which hath given occasion many years after to some of the Fellows of that house particularly to Dr. Joh. Browne to take one of them to be this George Carew whom we are farther to mention Howsoever it is or whether he studied in both houses successively I shall not now dispute it Sure I am that he was of Broadgates and that being more delighted in Martial Affairs than in the solitary delights of a study he left the University without a degree went into Ireland and there had a command given him against that noted Rebel the Earl of Desmond Afterwards his merits being made known to Q. Eliz. she thereupon made him one of her Council and Master of the Ordnance there In which last employment he behav'd himself with great renown in various expeditions as some years after he did in the Voyage to Cadiz in Spain In 1589. he was actually created M. of A. with other persons of quality he being then a Knight At length when all Ireland was in a manner invaded with a domestick Rebellion and a Spanish Army he was made President of Munster for 3 years where joyning his Forces with those of the Earl of Thomond he took divers Castles and strong Holds in those parts and brought the titular Earl of Desmond one of the most active Rebels there to his tryal After K. James came to the Crown he was called home and in the first year of his Raign he was constituted Governour of the Isle of Guernsey and Castle Cornet In the third year of that Kings Reign he was advanced to the degree and dignity of a Baron by the title of the Lord Carew of Clopton having before married Joyce the Daughter and Coheir of Will. Clepton of Clopton near Stratford upon Avon in Warwicksh Esque Afterwards he was made Vicechamberlain and Treasurer to Q. Anne Master of the Ordnance throughout England and of the Privy Council to the King At length when Charles came to the Crown he was made by him in the first year of his Reign Earl of Totness in Devonshire as being then a faithful Subject a valiant and prudent Commander an honest Counsellour a gentile Scholar a lover of Antiquities and a great Patron of learning He wrote a book intit Pacata Hibernia Or the History of the late Wars in Ireland Lond. 1633. fol. with his picture before and these verses under it Talis crat vultu sed linguâ mente manuque Qualis crat qui vult dicere scripta legat Consulat aut famam qui linguâ mente manuve Vincere hunc fama judice rarus erat Of which History containing three years transactions in Munster the said Earls actions G. Carew are not the least part It was while he lived reserved first for his own private satisfaction secondly preserved for the furtherance of a general history of the Kingdom of Ireland when some industrious writer should undertake a compleat description of those Affairs And lastly out of his own retired modesty it was by him held back from the stage of publication lest himself being a principal Actor in many of the particulars might be perhaps thought to give vent and utterance to his private merit and services however justly memorable After his death it came into the hands of his faithful and trusty Servant or rather his natural Son called Tho. Stafford by whom it being first offer'd to the view and censure of divers learned and judicious persons was at length published This is that Thom Stafford who was Master of many choice Originals of Charters of English Nobility written in the time of Hen. 2. mostly containing conveyances and gifts of Lands to Religious Houses which I presume he had by the gift of his aforesaid Master the Earl of Totness But when Stafford died they came into the hands of Sir Simonds D'ewes Bt. Besides Pacata Hibernia our author Carew hath in four large volumes collected several Chronologies Charters Letters Muniments and other materials belonging to Ireland Which as choice rarities are at this day reserved in the Bodleian Library He also made several collections notes and extracts for the writing of the History of the Reign of K.

Britain it is such for stile and industry that for one who as Martial speaks had neither a Graecum 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 nor an Ave Latinum is perhaps without many Fellows in Europe So much also have I understood of him by sure information that he had no meaning in that labour to prevent great practick learnedness but to furnish it for the common service of Englands Glory As for our author Carew Earl of Totness he ended his days in the Savoy situated in the Strand near London year 1629 27. Mar. in sixteen hundred twenty and nine aged 73. and 10 months Whereupon his body was conveyed to Stratford upon Avon in Warwickshire and was inter'd at the upper end of an Isle joyning on the North side to the body of the Church there Over his grave was soon after a stately monument erected with a large inscription thereon which for brevity sake I now pass by and desire the Reader to observe that there was one Tho. Carve who writes himself of Mobernan in the County of Tipperary in Ireland a Priest and Apostolick Notary who in the year of his age 70. Dom. 1660. wrote a book intit Lyra sive Anacephalaeosis Hibernica in qua de exordio sive origine nomine moribus ritibusque gentis Hibernicae succinctè tractatur Sulsbaci 1666. 2d edit qu. But this Tho. Carve who lived at Vienna in Germany in the Court of the reverend Curats and Levites belonging to the Cath. Church of St. Stephen there to the year 1664. and after is not to be understood as some have done to be the same with Tho. Carue or any thing of kin to Geor. Carew before mention'd or that he was beholding to Pacata Hibernia when he composed his book or to his MS. collections as I can yet perceive Besides the aforesaid George Carew was another of both his names a native of Cornwall who having benefited himself much in this University and afterwards in the Inns of Court and in travelling beyond the Seas was at his return called to the Barr. Soon
after he supplyed the place of Secretary to Christop Lord Hatton L. Chanc. of England and after his decease performed the like Office to his two Successors by special recommendation from her Majesty who also gave him a Prothonotaryship in the Chancery and in 1597. being then a Knight and one of the Masters of the Chancery was by the said Queen sent into Prussia to inform the K. and State of Poland and the prutenic Cities those things which she answered to Dzialine the last Embassador in England c. In which County and in other Nothern parts he underwent through unexpected accidents extraordinary perils but being freed from them by Gods great Providence he performed his duty in acceptable manner In January 1605. he was sent ordinary Embassador into France where he behaved himself to the credit of the English Nation and after his return the Commonwealth used his service in the places of trust which he then injoyed Whether he was the same Sir George Carew who was created Master of Arts with other persons of quality at Cambridge 30.

Afterwards spending four years in Theological studies under Father Bellarmine he took the degree of Bach in that faculty But leaving the said University because of the Civil Wars in that Country he retired to Paris where continuing for some time in the study of Theology among the Sorbonists he was by Dr. Will. Alan sent for to Rheimes where continuing in the Eng. coll governed by the said Alan for some time was by him sent to the Eng. coll at Rome where consummating his divine studies was recalled by the said Alan and made publick Professor of Theology at Rheimes About which time being created Doctor of that faculty with great solemnity in the University of Pont-a Mousson in Loraine in Nov. 1584. managed with great credit his publick Professorship for about eleven years But Civil Wars breaking out in France he journyed to Rome and became Chaplain to Card. Alan as he was afterwards for a time to Card. Charles Borromeus at Millane at whose request to P. Clem. 8. he was made Dean of the Church of S. Peter at Ressell commonly called L'isle in Flanders which preferment he keeping for ten years was at length forced to leave it by the violence of the Jesuits because he took part with the Benedictine Monks when they prevailed so far with the Abbot of Arraâ— a good man to build a Cloister for them at Doway which was much opposed by the said Jesuits Afterwards Dr. Gifford return'd to Rheimes again and was made Rector of the Academy there which he governed with great praise and honour At length being above 50. years of age he gave a farewell to the World and its vanities entred himself into the Order of St. Benedict in June 1608. and became professed on the 14. Dec. in the year following in the coll of the English Benedictines at Diculward in Loraine Whereupon according to the manner he changed his name to Gabriel de S. Maria which he kept to his dying day became famous for his admirable Sermons preached there in Flanders Poiteu at Rheimes and in Britaine to which place as 't is said he was sent a Delegate by P. Clem. 8. to K. Jam. 1. concerning matters of Religion Afterwards being noted for his great piety and learning he was made Prior of the Benedictines at S. Maloes in France and President of the Congregation of that Order At length his great worth suffering him not to live in a Cell he was by Ludovic de Loraine commonly called Cardinal Guise Archbishop of Rheimes made his Suffragan in that See under the title of Episcopus Arâ—â—id â—liae in Greece Which place he enjoying till that Cardinals death the Duke of Guise thereupon because his second Son was but a Child and therefore not capable of the Archbishoprick of Rheimes fearing lest any other Nâ—bleman in France should beg it for any of their Sons did presently before the death of his Brother the Cardinal was known go to the French K. and beg'd the same for Dr. Gifford and procured the Pope to confirm the Kings grant Whereupon Gifford receiving Consecration in 1622. enjoy'd it about 7 years not without paying a considerable yearly pension from it as 't was thought to the then Duke of Guise By vertue of the said Archbishoprick he became a Duke and the first Peer of France And having a great yearly value coming in became hospitable liberal to all English Exiles and Travellers and a Founder of two Houses in France for the reception of the English Monks of the Order of S.

Peter there near to the door entring into the Monuments or the door thro which people enter to see the Monuments on the three and twentieth day of July in the same year I have seen a copy of his Epitaph made by himself wherein he is stiled miserimus peccator musarum amicitiarum cultor sanctissimus c. and another made by a second person which for brevity sake I now pass by In my searches I find one Hugh Holland to have been admitted Bac. of Arts with Tho. Worthington afterwards a Jesuit in Mich. Term an 1570. and another Hugh Holland an Esquires Son of Denbighshire to be matriculated as a member of Ball. coll an 1582. aged 24. with others of that Sirname of the same house but whether any of them were authors I cannot yet tell or whether the last was the same with the Poet.

Nov. 1583. being then Bach. of Arts and afterwards proceeding in that faculty he entred into holy Orders and became a celebrated preacher in the University In 1597. he was licensed to proceed in Divinity and in the same year being elected Master of Vniversity coll gave up all right that he had to his Fellowship In the latter end of 1599. he was made Dean of Winchester in the place of Dr. Martin Heton promoted to the See of Ely Which Dignity he keeping till 1609. succeeded then Dr. Thom. Morton Dean of Glocester On the third of Dec. 1609. he was consecrated Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry and had restitution of the Temporalities belonging thereunto made to him on the 29. of the same month In Febr. following he was translated to London and being elected soon after to the See of Canterbury had the Kings consent to it 29. March 1610. On the 9. of Apr. 1611. he was translated to the said See of Canterbury and on the 4. of May following had restitution made to him of the Temporalities belonging thereunto On the 23. of June ensuing he was sworn a member of his Majesties Privy Council and accordingly took his place So that he having never been Rector or Vicar of a parish and so consequently was in a manner ignorant of the trouble that attended the ministers of Gods word was the cause as some think why he was harsh to them and why he shew'd more respect to a Cloak than a Cassock He was a person pious and grave and exemplary in his life and conversation He was also a learned man and had his erudition all of the old stamp He was stiffly principled in the doctrine of S. Augustine which they who understand it not call Calvinism and therefore disrelish'd by them who incline to the Massilian and Arminian Tenets Those that well remember him have said that tho he was a plausible preacher yet his brother Robert was a greater Scholar and tho an able Statesman yet Robert was a deeper Divine The things that he hath written are these which shew him to be a man of parts learning vigilancy and unwearied study tho overwhelm'd with business Questiones sex totidem praelectionibus in Schola Theologicâ Oxomiae pro formâ habitis discussae disceptatae an 1597 in quibus è sacra scriptura Patribus quid statuendum sit definitur Oxon 1598. qu.

Burton whom I shall mention under the year 1645 was born of an ancient and gentile family at Lindley in Leicestershire 8. Feb. 1576 and therefore in the titles of several of his choice books which he gave to the publick Library he added to his Sirname Lindliacus Leycestrensis He was educated in Grammar learning in the Free-School of Sutton-Colfield in Warwickshire whence he was sent to Brasnose coll in the long vacation an 1593. where he made a considerable progress in Logic and Philosophy in the condition of a Commoner In 1599. he was elected Student of Ch. Ch. and for form sake tho he wanted not a Tutor he was put under the tuition of Dr. John Bancroft afterwards Bishop of Oxon. In 1614. he was admitted to the reading of the Sentences and on the 29. Nov. 1616. he had the Vicaridge of St. Thomas Parish in the West Suburb of Oxon confer'd on him by the Dean and Canons of Ch. Church to the parishioners whereof he always gave the Sacrament in Wafers which with the Rectory of Segrave in Leycestershire given to him some years after by George Lord Berkley he kept with much ado to his dying day He was an exact Mathematician a curious calculator of Nativities a general read Scholar a thro-pac'd Philologist and one that understood the surveying of Lands well As he was by many accounted a severe student a devourer of authors a melancholy and humerous person so by others who knew him well a person of great honesty plain dealing and charity I have heard some of the Antients of Ch. Ch. often say that his company was very merry facete and juvenile and no man in his time did surpass him for his ready and dextrous interlarding his common discourses among them with verses from the Poets or sentences from classical authors Which being then all the fashion in the University made his company more acceptable He hath written The Anatomy of Melancholy First printed in qu. and afterwards several times in sol an 1624. 1632 38 and 1652. c. to the great profit of the Bookseller who got an estate by it 'T is a book so full of variety of reading that Gentlemen who have lost their time and put to a push for invention may furnish themselves with matter for common or scholastical discourse and writing Several authors have unmercifully stolen matter from the said book without any acknowledgment particularly one Will. Greenwood in his book intit A description of the passion of Love c. Lond. 1657. oct Who as others of the like humour do sometimes take his quotations without the least mention of Democritus Junior He the said R. Burton paid his last debt to nature in his Chamber in Ch. Ch. at or very near that time which he had some years before foretold from the calculation of his own nativity which being exact several of the Students did not forbear to whisper among themselves that rather than there should be a mistake in the calculation he sent up his soul to heaven thro a slip about his neck His body was afterwards with due solemnity buried near that of Dr. Rob. Weston in the north isle which joyns next to the choire of the Cath. of Ch. Church on the 27. of January in sixteen hundred thirty and nine Over his grave was soon after erected a comely Monument on the upper pillar of the said isle with his bust painted to the life On the right hand of which is the calculation of his nativity and under the bust this inscription made by himself all put up by the care of William Burton his brother Paucis notus paucioribus ignotus hic jacet Democritus junior cui vitam dedit mortem melancholia Obiit viii Id.

Jul. 14. Hen. 7. dom 1499. where sitting little more than an year he concluded his last day in the month of Aug. or thereabouts in the year fiveteen hundred By his Will dated 20. Jul. the same year he bequeathed his body to be buried in his own Cathedral Church if it should happen that he dye in Norwich or within 16 miles of that place He had before his death been a benefactor to New coll as I have told you elsewhere and as it should seem to the building of S. Maries Church in this Univ. of Oxon if his answer was equivalent to an Epistle written in its name to desire his benefaction thereunto In the time of this worthy Bishop Tho. Jane or rather before studied in this University Tho. Scot alias Rotheram Son of Sir Tho. Rotheram Knight by Alice his Wife but going soon after to Cambridge we can hardly lay claim to him In an old book of Epistles written by the University of Ox. to great personages is an Epistle written to the Bishop of Lincoln and he that then sat there must according to time be the said Rotheram In which Epistle are certain circumstances that shew that he had sometimes studied in the said University and besides the members thereof did seldom â—or never write Epistles to any except such who had originally been Students among them He died Archb. of York in 1500 and was succeeded in that See by Tho.

Milb before mention'd others particularly one of Camdens contemporaries at a little Market Town call'd Bere in the said County of Dorset which seems to be most true by those things that I shall anon mention from his last Will and Testament When he was a boy he was educated among the Religious in Cerne Abbey and at ripe years was sent to Balliol coll where making great progress in Academical learning he took the degrees in the Laws without any regard had to those in Arts. In 1446. he being then in his Regency he became one of the Commissaries of the University about which time one Will. Moreton of the same coll was the northern Proctor but whether related to him I cannot tell Afterwards Jo. Moreton was Principal or moderator of the Civil Law School situated in the Great Jewry in Oxon and about 1453. became Principal of Peckwaters Inn at which time he being also an Advocate in the Court of Arches his parts and great learning were so remarkable that Tho. Bouchier Archb. of Canterbury taking cognisance of him sought means to prefer him In 1458. Nov. 8. he became Prebendary of Fordinton and Writhlington in the Church of Salisbury void by the death of one Will. Walesby being also about that time Rector of S. Dunstans Church in the West in the Suburbs of London Afterwards having other spiritualities conferr'd upon him he was for his great wisdom and prudence made Master of the Rolls an 1473 and in the year following Archdeacon of Winchester which Dignity was then void by the death of one Vinc. Clement sometimes a Doctor of Oxon In Feb. 1475 he being then Preb. of Dynre in the Church of Wells which he resign'd in that month and was succeeded therein by Mr. Will. Dudley he was collated to the Prebendship of S. Ducuman in the said Church on the death of one Joh. Pope which Dignity he keeping till Jan. 1478. he then gave it up and Tho. Langton Doctor of Decrees succeeded him as I shall anon tell you In 1476.

Rich. 3. he was committed prisoner to the Tower of London for some jealousies that that King had of him as being totally inclined to the Lancastrian family and 't is probable that there he would have continued during all that Kings raign but the reverence of the man or undeservedness of his wrongs moved so the affection of the members of this University that they directed to the King who professed much seeming love to the University as 't is elsewhere told you a petitionary Epistle in Latine no less eloquent and pithy than circumspect and wary wherein they much pleaded for his liberty Whereupon the K. being well pleased with it was content to release him from the Tower and commit him to the custody of Henry Duke of Buckingham to his Castle at Brecknock in Wales Thence after he had spent some time he found liberty to steal to the Isle of Ely and for a round sum of money found a safe passage into France purposely to joyn with the Earl of Richmond to pluck down the said Rich. 3. Soon after the said Earl obtaining the Crown by the name of Hen. 7. called unto his Privy Council the said Moreton Bishop of Ely with Rich. Fox about that time B. of Exeter both vigilant men and discreet and such as kept watch with the King almost upon all men else They were both vers'd in his affairs before he came to the Crown and were partakers of his adverse fortune and therefore the King was resolved to promote them in the Church as high as he could In the beginning of the year 1486. Archbishop Bouchier before mentioned died whereupon the K. making means that the Monks of Canterbury should elect Dr. Moreton for his Successor the Pope did forthwith confirm it So that being translated to the said See he had restitution made to him of the temporalities belonging thereunto on the sixth of Decemb. the same year In 1487. he was made Lord Chancellor of England in which high office he acted very beneficial for the King and in 1493. he was declared a Cardinal by Pope Alexand. 6. under the title of S. Anastasius The year after he was elected Chanc. of
he was transplanted first to Christs coll and afterwards to Clare hall in Cambridge where proceeding in Arts took holy Orders was afterwards Archdeacon of Stafford and in 1535. did commence D. of divinity In 1539. Apr. 4. he was consecrated B. of Rochester being then chief Almoner to the King and on the 14. of the same month the temporalities of that See were delivered to him On the 22. of Decemb. 1543. he was elected B. of Worcester upon the resignation of Dr. Bell and in Feb. following being translated thereunto the temporalities also of that See were restored to him on the 22. March following where continuing till the beginning of K. Ed. 6. was soon after committed Prisoner to the Fleet as being no Friend to that King or reformation Afterwards Q. Mary coming to the Crown he was restored to his Bishoprick which Jo. Hooper had for some time occupied and became so great in the favour of that Queen that he was not only made by her President of Wales but also Archbishop of York to which See being elected P. Paul the fourth by his Bull dated xi Cal. Jul. 1555. did confirm it Afterwards being translated the temporalities of that See were given to him 8. Jan. following and on the 22. of that month was enthronized or installed in the person of Robert Bishop of Hull Heath being then Lord Chancellour of England While he sate Archbishop Q. Mary gave to him Suffolk-house against S. George's Church in Southwark to be a habitation for him and his Successors for ever in that See when their occasins called them to London done in recompence for York-house near Westminster which her Father had taken from Card. Wolsey But the said house being remote from the Court Archb. Heath sold it to a Merchant and bought Norwich-house or Suffolk-place near to Charing-cross for him and his Successors for ever When Q. Elizabeth came to the Crown which was in Nov. 1558. Cardinal Pole Archb. of Canterbury and Primate of all England being then dead he the said Heath not only refused tho it appertained to his office to anoint and Crown Q. Elizab. as all the Bishops besides did except one but also about the beginning of the year following refused to take the Oath of her Supremacy over the Church Whereupon being deprived of his Archbishoprick about Midsomer in the same year as also of his Chancellourship was for a time committed to custody Jo. Fox saith to the Tower where he died but being a person of great moderation quiet behaviour and modest disposition was soon after set at liberty So that retiring to his estate at Chobham in Surrey which he before had purchased spent the remaining part of his days there in great security retiredness good studies and devotion being then in such great grace with Q. Elizabeth that she several times visited him with marvellous kindness At length arriving to a fair age died in the beginning of fifteen hundred seventy and year 1579 nine as it should seem for on the 5. of May that year one Tho. Heath next Kinsman to the said Archbishop had a Commission then granted to him from the Prerogative Court of Canterbury to administer the goods debts chattels c. of him the said Nich. Heath S. T. P. sometimes Archb. of York lately deceased He was buried in the middle of the Chanc. belonging to the Ch. of Chobham before-mentioned and over his grave was soon-after a plain marble stone laid with an inscription thereon which stone was since broken and made shorter and the inscription engraven on a brass plate taken away His brother Will. Heath as he is at Chobham so called was also buried in the said Chancel some years as it seems before the Archbishop where there was lately if not still some memory of him on a grave-stone But who are now the possessors of the Archb. lands there which he left to his relations I cannot tell The picture drawn to the life of the said Archbishop I have many times seen which shews him to have been proper in person black hair'd pale-faced thin and macerated somewhat like the picture of Fisher B. of Rochester but his nose not so long I say this picture I have often beheld among many other choice pictures hanging in the large Gallery belonging to Weston-house near to Long-Compton in Warwickshire now in the possession of my worthy acquaintance Raphe Sheldon Esq whose Ancestor of both his names of Beoly in Worcestershire who died 21. Dec. 1546. married Philippa daughter and coheir of Baldwin Heath by his Wife Agnes the eldest daughter and coheir of Joh. Grove of Ford-hall in Wotton in Warwickshire Son of Thomas Heath of Aspley in the Parish of Tamworth before-mentioned which Thomas is supposed by those of the Sheldonian Family who quarter with their Arms those of Grove and Heath to be Great Grandfather to the Archbishop This hath been several times told me by my never to be forgotten friend and generous acquaintance Raphe Sheldon of Beoly and Weston Esq who deceased 1684. a person always very curious and industrious in Genealogies ROBERT PURSGLOVE received his first breath at a Market Town in Derbyshire called Tideswall bred in puerile learning for some time there afterwards in Grammar learning in S.

Ch. coll in Oxford and maintained there by his said Uncle for the space of fourteen years but whether he took a degree in all that time it doth not appear in our Registers neither indeed of hundreds more that have studied 7 or more years in Oxon and therefore for that reason and because we have no matriculation books above the time of Q. Elizab. the memory of many eminent Men in Church and State is lost After he had left the University being then esteemed an eminent Clerk he was received into the Monastery of Gisbourne alias Gisburgh in Yorkshire where taking upon him the habit of a Canon Regular was at length elected Prior of that house Afterwards upon a willing surrender of the said Monastery into the Kings hands he had a considerable pension allowed to him was made Provost of Rotheram coll in Yorkshire and on the death of Rob.

Edward Lake lately Bach. of Arts of Catherine Hall in Cambridge was incorporated in the same degree On the 24 Jan. following he was admitted Bach. of the Civil Law as a Member of S. Albans Hall This year was a supplicate made for one Hen. Jacie M. of A. to be incorporated but whether he was so or not I cannot find I take him to be the same with Henry Jessie alias Jacie a Preachers Son who was born at West Rowton in the north Riding of Yorkshire 3 Sept. 1601 and who in 1618 became Pensioner of S. Joh. Coll. in the said University Whence after he had taken one degree in Arts he was invited to live in the house of Brampton Gourdon of Assington in Suffolk Gent. Father to Joh. Gourdon a Burgess in the Long Parliament that began 1640 nominated one of the Judges to sit on K. Ch. 1. but was not present when Sentence was passed and to two others of that name who were Recruiters in that Parliament In which house being setled he studied Physick as well as Divinity After he had commenced M. of A. which was in 1626 he preached privately in the Neighbourhood and distributed practical Books among the Brethren Afterwards he removed to several places but was not permitted to tarry long in any because he was zealously averse to Conformity At length in 1645 he repaired to London where he joyned himself to the Congregation of which Mr. Hen. Jacob and Mr. Joh. Lathorp had been Pastors where he continued 25 years not without several disturbances especially before the grand Rebellion broke out He hath written 1 A catechism for Children The Answers in which were wholly in the words of the Scripture 2 The Scripture-Kalendar in use by the Prophets and Apostles and by our Lord Jesus Christ explaining the Accounts Measures c.

This Book begins with certain matters relating to Oxon which being very false the Reader cannot otherwise but judge the rest so to be In 1661 came out an imposture of a most damnable design called Mirabilis annus or the year of prodigies and wonders c. and in 1662 the first and second part of Annus mirabilis secundus and probably other parts but such I have not yet seen When these came out which were advanced by several hands it was verily supposed that Henry Jessie had a principal share in them 7 Miscellanea sacra divers necessary truths seasonably published c. printed 1665 in oct 8 A looking-glass for children being a narrative of Gods gracious dealings with some little children Lond. 1674 oct He hath also written a Pref. or commendatory Epistle before Joh.

Lond. 1641. qu. In which book by many impregnable arguments he proves a high conveniency if not a necessity for that most laudable custome of having railes about the Lords Table So that this Person being discern'd by the faction to be a friend to the Protestant Religion established in the Church of England was look'd upon as their enemy and was by them branded with Popery or as popishly affected Yet his former reputation in the City bore him up against the obloquy of private discontent for a time At length when they came openly to defie their Sovereign the Lords anointed it was a fit time to silence and remove Mr. Vdall for neither Dr. Gouge his Church in the Black-friers or Mr. Jo. Goodwins in Colemanstreet were half so full before the Long Parliament began as Mr. Vdalls had been since First therefore they plunder his house take away his Library and Houshold stuff then remove him from the execution of his Ministry and sequester the profits thereof for a Levite of their own Afterwards they sought to commit him to Prison tho aged and very weak and infirm in body and at length carried his aged and decrepid Wife out of her doors by force and set her in the open street to shift for her self This most pious and meek Man who had been favoured in his Ministry by the Vincents of Stoke-Dawbernon in Surrey Baronets hath written other things among which is The good of peace Sermon on Psal 29. 11.

I find these matters of Ephraim Vdall viz. that he hath affirmed that the great reformers of the Church now are Hypocrites and hath made framed and published a book intit Noli me tangere without license charging the Parliament with Sacrilege in endeavouring to abolish Episcopacy and to take away the Lands of Deans and Chapters to amend therewith the maintenance of preaching Ministers and that thereby they have brought a national sin on the Land as was formerly done by them in taking away Monasteries c.

Randolphe the most celebrated Poet of Cambr. was incorporated M. of A. but the day or month when appears not I have made mention of him at large among the Writers under the year 1590. Joh. Pell also a Graduat of the same University was incorporated but in what degree whether in that of Bachelaur or Master of Arts it appears not This person tho I have several times occasionally mention'd in this Work yet I shall take liberty to be more large upon him now He was the Son of Joh. Pell and he of another John descended from those of his name in Lincolnshire where they seem to be of antient extraction His first breath was drawn at Southwyâ—ke in Sussex of which place his Father was Minister on S. Davids day an 1610 and his Grammar learning received in the Free-school then newly founded at Stenning a Market Town in the said County At 13 years of age he was sent to Trin. Coll. in Cambridge being then as good a Scholar as some Masters of Arts in that University and tho he understood Lat. Gr. and Hebr. well yet he never stood at an Election of Scholars and Fellows of that house He was of a strong and good habit of body and therefore using Recreations seldom or never he plied his studies while others play'd About two years after he had taken the magisterial degree he married and understood then besides the said three Tongues Arab. Ital. French Spanish High and Low Dutch In Dec. 1643 he took a Journey to Amsterdam and was there made Professor of the Mathematicks next after Mart. Hoâ—tensius where his learned Collegue Ger. Jo. Vossius as he testifies de scientiis Math. c. 10. heard him with admiration read his publick Lectures upon Diophantus by whom likewise he is stiled a person of various erudition and a most acute Mathematician And in 1646 the Prince of Orange called him to be publick Professor of Philosophy and Mathematicks in the Schola illustris at Breda founded that year by his Highness While he continued there William Lord Brereton was sent by his Grandfather George Earl of Norwych to be his Scholar and became a good proficient especially in Algabra to which his Genius most inclin'd him and carried it on to his dying day which hapning on the 17 of March 1679 he being then a chief Member of the Royal Society was buried in the Church of S.

In the time of the rebellion he also acted much for his Master in several Countries beyond the Seas and did him great Service but when he saw the English Church ruin'd and Monarchy declining he changed his Religion for that of Rome and was thereupon taken into the society of the Oratorians at Paris an order very famous there tho but little known among us The brethren whereof having liberty to improve their particular estates for things are not common among them as with other orders he grew rich upon the stock which he had formerly gathered together by his endeavours whereby he was in capacity sometimes to do courtesies for his exil'd Countrymen Abrah Cowley the Prince of Poets was while at Paris preferr'd and plac'd by him tho the story is perverted in the Family of the said noble Henry then Lord Jermyn Through whose heroical bounty he was afterwards design'd to the Mastership of the Savoy but by certain enemies to the Muses was depriv'd of it Afterwards Henrietta Maria the Queen Mother to whom Goffe was Chaplain committed to the said Goffs care the tuition of the natural Son of K.

This year among several Cambridge Men that were incorporated Masters of Arts must not be forgotten John Cleaveland the Poet not that it appears so in the publick register but from the relation of a certain Person who was then a Master of this University This Mr. Cleaveland who was the Vicars Son of a Market-town called Hinkley in Leicestershire was born there and in the same town received his Grammatical education under one Mr. Rich. Vines a zealous Puritan where obtaining a perfection in Lat. and Greek learning was sent to Christs Coll. in Cambridge and in short time proving an exquisite Orator and pure Latinist was preferr'd to a Fellowship of St. Johns Coll. in the said University and as the delight and ornament of that house he continued there about nine years and from his Oratory became an eminent Poet. At length upon the eruption of the Civil War he was the first Champion that appear'd in verse for the Kings cause against the Presbyterians for which and his signal Loyalty he was ejected thence Whereupon retiring to Oxon the Kings head quarter lived there for a time and was much venerated and respected not only by the great Men of the Court but by the then Wits remaining among the affrighted and distressed muses for his high Panegericks and smart Satyrs From Oxon he went to Newark upon Trent where he was so highly valued by all especially by the then most loyal and generous Sir Rich. Willis Baronet the Governour of that Garison for his Majesty that he was made Judge Advocate and continued there till the surrender thereof for the use of the Parliament shewing himself a prudent Judge for the King and a faithful Advocate for the Country Afterwards being imprison'd at Yarmouth where he continued in a lingring condition and with little hopes of relief drew up an Address to Oliver Cromwell written in such towring language and so much gallant reason that upon his perusal of he was so much melted down with it that he forthwith ordered his release Afterwards he retired to London where finding a generous Mecaenas setled in Greys Inn in Holbourne and became much admired if not adored by all generous loyalists and ingenious Men. He hath written 1 Poems Lond. in oct there again with additions 1651. oct and several times after 2 Characters 3 Orations 4 Epistles c.

Warwick of Hereford descended from the Warwicks or Warthwykes of Warwick in Cumberland was born in the said City of Westminster educated in Eaton Coll. School near Windsore and was for a time Chorister at Westminster Afterwards he travelled into France and was much at Geneva under the instruction and good counsel of Deodatus the famous Divine Thence returning into his native Country with many accomplishments became Secretary to the Lord Treasurer before mention'd one of the Clerks of the Signet and in 1640 was elected a Burgess for the Town of Radnor in Wales to sit in that Parliament which began at Westminster 3 Nov. the same year But perceiving soon after what desperate courses the Members thereof took he retired to his Majesty was with him at Oxon and sate in the Parliament there an 1643 at which time and after he had his Lodging in Vniversity Coll. and his Counsel much relyed upon by his Majesty Afterwards he was one of the Commissioners to treat with those appointed by Parliament for the surrender of the Garrison of Oxon an 1646 and in 1648 he did attend his Majesty in his disconsolate condition in the Isle of Wight In the times of Usurpation he was involved in the same troubles as all Loyalists were but after his Majesties Restauration being then fix'd in the Clerkship of the Signet he became Secretary to Thomas Earl of Southampton Lord Treasurer of England in which place he acted so much and so dexterously that he being then a Knight was usually called Sir Philip the Treasurer This person tho he hath published nothing yet he hath left behind him several things fit for the Press among which are 1 Memoirs or reflections upon the Reign of K. Ch. 1. in fol. 2 Of Government as examined by Scripture Reason and the Law of the Land or true weights and measures between Sovereignty and Liberty fol. c. He was esteemed by those that knew him to be a person of a publick spirit above the riches and preferments of the World and to be just in all his Actions and needed not therefore that Character which a certain nameless Author gives of him thus that he never lies more than when he professes to speak the sincerity of his heart He died on the 17 of the Cal. of Feb. 1682 aged 74 years and was buried in the Church at Chiselherst in Kent where he had an Estate I have seen an Epitaph made on him by Dr. Tho. Pierce Dean of Salisbury the first part of which runs thus Cavesis tibi viator ne legens lugeas nam cujus fidem veriverbio Carolus primus celebravit Carolusque secundus expertus est Nec majora quidem nec plura de se dici voluit Vir coelo natus bonorum in terris desiderium optimus veri aestimator aequi bâ—nique tenacissimus Philippus Warwick c.

qu. Which being the first book of that nature that was ever printed in the English tongue was a pattern or platform to those that came after viz. to Will. Wyrley in his True use of Armory Printed 1592. qu. to Joh. Boswell when he wrot his Works of Armory in 3 books Lond. 1597. qu. and to others In the beginning of Apr. 1577. there was some dispute made among the relations of the said Ger. Legh who should administer his goods debts chattels c. So that I presume he died in Fifteen hundred seventy and six year 1576 18. Elizab. which is all that I yet know of him or his works WILLIAM BLANDIE was born at Newbury in Berkshire educated in Wykâ—hams School near to Winchester elected Probatione-Fellow of New Coll. in 1563 took one Degree in Arts three years after and the same year was removed thence by the Bishop of Winton in his visitation of that Coll. but for what reason unless for Popery I cannot tell About the same time he went to London became Fellow of the Middle Temple and afterwards translated from Lat. into English The five Books of Hicronimus Osâ—rius containing a discourse of Civil and Christian Nobility Lond. 1576. qu. What other things he hath translated or whether he hath written of any Subject I cannot tell ANTHONY RUSSHE a florid and frequent Preacher of his time was born in the Diocess of Norwych admitted Probationer-Fellow of Magd. Coll. in July 1554 did compleat the Degree of Master of Arts 1558 and soon after quitting his Fellowship became Chaplain to Qu. Elizabeth Dean of Chichester in the place perhaps of Barth Traheron Doctor of Divinity and in the Year 1567 Canon of Windsore He hath written A President for a Prince wherein is to be seen by the testimonie of antient writers the duty of Kings Princes and Governours Lond. 1566. in qu. and other things as I conceive but such I have not yet seen He paid his last debt to nature on the first day of April year 1577 in Fifteen hundred seventy and seven aged 40 or more and was buried in the Chappel of St. George at Windsore Over his grave is an Epitaph containing a great Elogie of him which for brevity sake I shall now omit and in the mean time proceed to the next writer in order to be mentioned RALPH GUALTER Son of the famous Ralph Gualter was born at Zurich in Helvetia spent several years in this University mostly in Merton Coll. took the Degree of Master of Arts in 1573 and then returning to Zurich became Minister of St. Peters Church there where he was held in great admiration for his quick and forward parts He hath written Elegia de militia Christianorum in his terris adversus satanem carnem mundum militantium Epitaphium in Hen. Bullengeri obitum written in Greek Epicedium in obitum Joh. Parkhursti Episcopi Nordovicensis Tigur 1576. qu. Argos Helvetia Sive carmen de Tigurinorum navigatione Tiguro Argentoratum usque uno die confecta Carmina in imagines Doctorum nostri seculi virorum Varia Epigrammata Epitaphia At length having spent his short life in learning and virtuous industry surrendred up his pious Soul to him that gave it year 1577 in Fifteen hundred seventy and seven aged 25 or thereabouts Whereupon his body was buried as 't is said in St. Peters Church before-mention'd at which time the chief Scholars there did much bewail his loss by their Poetry A certain Author tells us that this Ralph Gualter the Son hath written Homilies on the lesser Prophets but such I have not yet seen The Father hath and therefore I suppose there is a mistake in the matter MORGAN PHILIPPS or Philip Morgan a Monmouthshire Man born in the Dioc. of Landaff became a student in the University in 1533 or thereabouts made so great a progress in Logick and Philosophy and became so quick and undermining a Disputant that when he was Bach. of Arts he was commonly called Morgan the Sophister In the Year 1538 he was elected Fellow of Oriel Coll. being then an year standing in the Degree of Bachelaur and taking that of Master of Arts he entred into the sacred function In 1546 he was made Principal of St. Maries Hall and three years after was one of the Triumviri that undertook a publick disputation in the Divinity School with Pet. Martyr In 1550 he resign'd his Principality being then Bach. of Div. and in the beginning of Qu. Maries Reign he became Chauntor of St. Davids Cathedral Whereupon and because of his absence from Oriel Coll. for more time than was allowed he was denounced non socitis in 1554. In the beginning of Qu. Elizabeth he left his preferment friends and country for Religion sake spent most of his time at Lovaine and Doway and wrot several books as 't is said but I have seen only these following which go under his name viz. Defence of the honour of Mary Queen of Scotland with a declaration of her right title and interest to the Crowne of England Leig 1571. in 2 books in oct A treatise shewing that the regiment of Women is conformable to the Law of God and nature in one book Ib. 1571. oct These two treatises containing three books were published under his name but written as a noted Author tells us by Joh. Lesley Bishop of Rosse in Scotland upon occasion of sundry Pamphlets that came out against the marriage of Mary Qu. of Scots to be had with the Duke of Norfolk and the right by which she claimed to become heir unto England Which Bishop as 't is farther added did afterwards ingeniously acknowledge in his Commentaries that he had his arguments for her right of succession secretly from Sir Anth. Browne Chief Justice of the Common-pleas and from Serjeant Joh. Carryll an excellent common Lawyer of the Inner Temple So that if Morg. Philipps was not the Author of the said treatises I cannot justly say that he wrot any thing else only his Disputatio de Eucharistiae Sacramento in Univ. Oxon habita contra D. Pet. Martyrem 31. Maii an 1549. Lond. 1549. qu. c. See more in Pet. Martyr an 1562. and in Will. Tresham 1569 c. But let our Author Camden and his follower here quoted say what of Leslie's being the Author of those books and other judge of the matter as he and they please while I tell you that a writer before Camden in time and equal with him in learning as to the studies he professed reports that the said Morgan Philipps a Man of good account for learning among those that knew him was thought to have written the said treatises divided into three books by the advice and assistance of Sir Anth. Browne which thing is made the more credible by the many authorities of our common Law which there are alledged The first book doth endeavour to clear Mary Q. of Scots for the murther of the Lord Darley her Husband which by many was laid
against her The second doth handle her title to the Crown of England and the third doth answer the book of Joh. Knox the Scot entit Against the monstrous government of Women But not long after the said book was published John Lesley Bishop of Ross in Scotland who at that time was Embassador for the said Qu. of Scots in England did more largely handle in the second book of a treatise which he published her title to the Crown of England c. Thus he so that according to this Authors opinion here quoted Lesley had no hand in the said treatises but in another different from them which I think is most true At length after our Author Morg. Philipps had suffered about 17 years exile died at Lovaine year 1577 or rather at Doway in Fifteen hundred seventy and seven for on the 15. Feb. the same years was a Commission granted from the Prerogative Court of Canterbury to George Farmour of Estneston in Northamptonshire Esq to administer the goods debts chattels c. of Morgan Philipps Clerk sometimes Chauntor of the Cath. Ch. of St. David who lately died in parts beyond the Seas THOMAS DORMAN was born at Berchamstede in Hertfordsh partly educated in the Free-School there under Mr. Rich. Reve a Protestant by the care and exhibition of his Uncle Tho. Dorman of Agmondesham alias Amersham in the Country of Bucks and partly in Wykehams School near to Winchester At length being made full ripe for the University he was elected Probationer-Fellow of New Coll. but leaving that house before he was made compleat Fellow upon what account I know not was after Qu. Mary came to the Crown elected Fellow of Allsouls Coll. in 1554 where following his studies with indefatigable industry was admitted in the University to the reading of any book of the institutions of the Civil Law an 1558. But upon the alteration of Religion which soon followed in the beginning of Qu. Eliz. he left all he had in the University his friends country and patrimony and went to Antwerp where being encouraged in his studies by Dr. Tho. Hardyng then an Exile in those parts and therefore zealously took his part against Jewell became Bach. and at length Doctor of Divinity He hath written A proof of certaine articles in religion denied by Mr. Jewell Antw. 1564. qu.
