Stanley of Tongue-Castle in Shropshire to whose memory he had some years before his death erected over the said Vault a stately altar monument of black marble and thereon had caused her bust made of Copper gilt to be fastned with four inscriptions of Copper gilt to be affixed to the said monument Which being done he caused the draught or picture of the said monument with the several inscriptions to be entred in a large folio book of Vellam containing the history of the family of Digby which our Author caused to be made of all matters relating thereunto that could be found from record either remaining in the custody of his family or in the Tower or any office in London together with the pictures of their monuments that could be found in any Church whatsoever in which they had been buried Which book as his son John hath said did cost his father about 1000 l. The next year after our Author Sir Kenelme was buried the said monument with bust was spoiled and defaced when the Church it self was burnt in the dismal conflagration that then hapned in London His study of books being a most admirable collection which he had conveyed into France in the time of the Rebellion fell after his death for want of his being naturalized into the French Kings hands of whom being beg'd by a certain Gentleman it was sold as the report then went for ten thousand Crowns Sir Everard Digby father to Sir Kenelme was a most goodly Gentleman and the handsomest man of his time but much pitied for that it was his ill fate to suffer for the Powder-plot in 1605 aged 24 at which time when the Executioner pluck'd out his heart when his body was to be quartered and according to the manner held it up saying Here is the heart of a Traytor Sir Everard made answer Thou liest This a most famous Author mentions but tells us not his name in his Historia vitae mortis The said Sir Everard was son of Everard Digby of Dry stoke before mention'd sometimes Master of Arts and Fellow of S.

Digby a younger son of John Earl of Bristow was a Gen. there for his Maj. as I have elsewhere told you JOHN LEWGAR was born of gentile parents in London admitted Commoner of Trin. Coll. in the beginning of the year 1616 and in that of his age 14 took the degrees in Arts holy Orders and in 1632 was admitted to the reading of the Sentences being about that time beneficed in Essex After Will. Chillingwrrth returned from beyond the seas he had several Conferences with him about matters of Religion wherein Chillingworth shewing himself a person of great dexterity Lewgar was at length meerly by the force of his Arguments induced to believe that the Roman Church was a true Church and that the Protestants were all in the wrong as he used often to tell his friends and withall to add that Chillingworth was of no meek and winning spirit but high and conceited and so consequently unfit for a Religion that required Humility and Obedience c. Afterwards our Author Lewgar left his Benefice and Religion and upon the invitation of Cecil Lord Calvert called Lord Baltimore who had been his intimate acquaintance while he was a Gent.

George in Somersetshire at which place much about the same time he taught a Grammar School In the time of the rebellion he was outed thence for his loyalty as some of his relations have said but I think false and afterwards retiring to the City of Exeter closed so much with the Presbyterians that he became Minister of S. Davids Church there and for several years was much frequented by them About the time of his Majesties restauration he went to East Coker in Somersetshire where he had lived for some time before he went to Exeter at which place he taught School for some time and afterwards was made Minister of it His works are The Saints hony-comb full of Divine truths touching both Christian belief and a Christian life in two cent Lond. 1652. oct The Communicants guide directing both the younger and elder sort how they may receive the Sacrament of the Lords Supper Lond. 1654. oct Pious thoughts vented in pithy ejaculations Lond. 1658. oct as also A Catechisme print in oct which I have not yet seen He died on the vigil of the Nativity of our Saviour in sixteen hundred sixty and eight and was buried in the Chancel of the Church of East Coker before mention'd but hath neither inscription or monumental stone over his grave JOHN DENHAM the only Son of Sir Joh.

Com. in Michaelm term an 1631. aged 16 years But being looked upon as a slow and dreaming young man by his seniors and contemporaries and given more to cards and dice than his study they could never then in the least imagine that he could ever inrich the World with his fansie or issue of his brain as he afterwards did From Trin. Coll. where he continued about 3 years and had been examined in the publick Schools for the degree of Bach. of Arts he went to Lincolns inn where tho he followed his study very close to the appearance of all persons yet he would game much and frequent the company of the unsanctified crew of Gamesters who rook'd him sometimes of all he could wrap or get But his Father having received notice of these matters took him severely to task with many threatnings to cast him off if he did not forbear from so doing Whereupon he wrot a Little Essay against Gaming shewing the vanities and inconveniencies which he presented to his Father to let him know his detestation of it After his Fathers death who died 6. Jan. 1638 and was buried in Egham Church in Surrey he fell to gaming again and shortly after squandred away several thousands of pounds that were left him c. In the latter end of the year 1641 he published the Tragedy called The Sophy which took extremely much and was admired by all ingenious men particularly by Edm. Waller of Beaconsfield who then said of the author that he broke out like the Irish rebellion threescore thousand strong when no body was aware or in the least suspected it Shortly after he was prick'd High Sherriff for Surrey and made Governour of Farnham Castle for the King But he being an inexpert soldier soon after left that office and retired to his Maj. at Oxon where he printed his poem called Coopers hill which hill is in the Parish of Egham in Surrey above Runney mead hath a very noble prospect and the author of it from thence doth admirably well describe several places in his view there which he mentions in that most celebrated poem In 1648 he conveyed or stole away James Duke of York from S. James's in Westminster then under the tuition of Algernon Earl of Northumberland and carried him into France to the Prince of Wales and the Qu.
