Braine there mention'd which is under the ninth But the author communicating the copy of that book before it went to the Press to a certain Doctor in Oxon of Bidgood's faculty he upon the perusal of that passage did falsly unknowing to the author acquaint by another hand the said Bidgood then living at Exeter of it Whereupon Bidgood a covetous person fearing that such a passage as that might when made public hinder his practice among the godly party at Exeter and near it he made application by letters to the said Doctor of Oxon and to Dr. Fell the publisher of the History to have it taken out Whereupon Dr. Fell wondring that he should scruple at such a passage which made much for his Loyalty the sheet wherein it was was reprinted and the eleventh head in the said p. 397. a was made the tenth in its place This Health tho said by his Contemporaries in Exeter Coll to be a Cup of Devils to Reformers yet the author of the aforesaid History finding it not so in the Visitors Register of their actions but as it is word by word before mention'd therefore did he set it so down without any invention of his own as some did surmise This Dr. Bidgood who was honorary Fellow of the Coll. of Physitians at Lond died very rich at Exeter on the 13 of Jan. 1690 after he had cashier'd and disinherited his nat son call'd Joh.

At which time as 't is said he taught or at least improved Selden in the Hebrew Language and added several things which Selden finding to be very excellent let them stand In the same year he was created Master of Arts but upon the turn of the times Brent then Warden of Mert. Coll. no friend to Laud silenced him In the year 1641 he was upon the death of John Thimble elected superior Bedle of Divinity about the 14 of June and in the beginning of Novemb. in the year following he was created Bach. of Physick But his head being always over-busie about critical notions which made him sometimes a little better than craz'd he neglected his duty so much that he was suspended once if not twice from his place and had his Bedles staff taken from him At length when the Parliamentarian Visitors sate he lost it for altogether and the right he pretended to his Fellowship in Mert. Coll. So that being destitute of maintenance he retired to London where the learned Selden exhibited to him gave him his cloaths and an old scarlet cloak of which last his friends would mock him and call him Young Selden when they saw it on his back But he being a shiftless Person as most meer Scholars are and the benefactions of friends not sufficing him he sold that little Land he had at Godmersham in Kent to supply his necessities and died before that was spent He wrot many things but he himself published nothing in his life time a Cat. of which is this Oratio inauguralis sub aditu praelectionis Philologicae publicè habita apud Collegium Oxonio-Merton 4.

Before I go any farther the reader is to understand that this our Author Jacob being ejected in 1648 from Merton Coll. and so consequently from his Chamber wherein he had left a trunk full of Books as well written as printed left Oxon as I have before told you And taking no care or appointing any friend for its security his Chamber door before an year was expired was broke open for a new commer who finding the trunk there did let it remain in its place for a time At length when no man inquired after it as the then possessor thereof pretended he secur'd it for his own use broke it open and therein discover'd a choice treasure of Books One of them being a Ms and fit for the press he disguised and alter'd it with another stile and at length after he had learned Hebrew and the Oriental Languages to blind the World and had conversed openly with those most excellent in them as Pocock and Bogan of C. C. Coll. or any Grecian or Jew that came accidentally to the University he published it under this title Delphi Phoenicizantes sive tractatus in quo Graecos quicquid Delphos celebre erat c. è Joshuae Historiae scriptisque sacris effluxisse rationibus haud inconcinnis ostenditur c. Oxon. 1655. oct To which is added Diatriba de Noe in Italiam adventu ejusque nominibus Ethnicis and a little tract De origine Druidum Which three things are much commended by forreign Authors particularly by Spizelius in his book De doctrina Senensium The Reader is also to know farther that Dr. Pet. Turner of Mert. Coll. being a great friend to Hen. Jacob did borrow and peruse several of his elucubrations in which taking great delight because his learning did partly lye that way did either keep the originals by him or at least took copies of them At length the Doctor being involv'd in the same fate with his friend retired with his Books for succour to his Sister the Widow of one Wats sometimes a Brewer in Southwark where dying obscurely about an year before Jacob his Papers came into the hands of his Nephew Will. Wats afterwards a Residentiary of Hereford who having a Son of Bras Coll. into whose possession they came he communicated several of them to Moses Pengry Fellow of that House a curious Person in Philological learning of which one was entit De Mari rubro and another De historia Beli Draconis Copies of which Pengry communicated to Mr. Rich. Reeves then Master of the School joyning to Magd. Coll. which he hath in his possession to this day Our Author Jacob also did put notes to most of the printed books in his study which tho little yet curious and particularly on Solinus his Hist of the World with Salmasius's notes to it Which book coming I know not how into the hands of H. B. he transcribed the said notes or observations and entring them as it seems into another Copy of his own deleeted those of Jacob with Aquafortis and sold the copy it self to an Oxford Bookseller such was his sordid avarice There is also another Ms of his going about entit Libri Ebraeo Rabbinici in Bib.

Hakewill which was as Heylyn saith full of most base and malicious calumniations both against the Person and Religion of the Author Whereupon his Maj. having received notice of it from Laud who had a copy of it sent to him from Oxon by Dr. W. Smith the Vicechancellour of that place and he from Hakewill to be approved before it was to go to the press commanded Heylyn to consider of the matter and withal sent him to Windsore to search into the records of the Order of the Garter there Which command he accordingly obeying occasioned a second edition of the said History an 1633 as I have before told you wherein he answer'd all Hakewills allegations letting pass his slanders Upon the coming out of which Heylyn heard no more of Hakewill till a second edition of his book of the supposed decay of nature entit An Apol. or Declaration of the Power c. wherein Heylyn found a retraction of the passages which concerned S. George About the same time Hakewill thinking better to sit silent than to come out with a reply yet he thought it fit to acquaint his friends what sentiments he had of the said second edition of The Hist of S. George in several letters sent abroad one of which speaketh thus In the second impression of his book The Hist of S. George where he hath occasion to speak of the Roman writers especially the Legendaries he magnifies them more and when he mentions our men he villifies them more than he did in his first edition But the matter is not much what he saith of the one or of the other the condition of the man being such as his word hardly passeth either for commendation or slander c.

Mildmay a Parliament-man that he was sent by the Lord with a message to the Army to make known some things unto them which God had revealed unto him The next day being Sunday he with much ado got a horse and about 3 of the clock in the afternoon rode towards Windsore the Head-quarter of the Army and about 11 of the clock at night came to a certain Town about 7 miles distant from Windsore where he laid that night and spoke of many wonderful things that the Lord had revealed to him But the man and woman of the house gave no credit at first to what he said tho before he left them they did and began to be taken with his preaching discourses Before break of day the next morning being Munday Dec. 6. he went towards Windsore and being there about 9 of the clock he repaired to the General Council where some of the Officers were met in expectation of the General and the rest to sit in Council before whom he spoke these words with his eyes almost fix'd in his head or rather as if he had come out of a trance with fear and trembling to express what he had received I am come hither to reveal to you what I have received from God That tho the Lord hath done much for you and by you yet he hath of late left you and is not in your Councils because you have forsaken him God will not prosper your Consultations but destroy you by divisions among your selves I have formerly come to you
he died on the 10. of March another by Anon. who tells us the 12. of the said month c. but both false HUGH CRESSEY or Cressy son of Hugh Cressey a Counsellour of Lincolns Inn by Margerie his wife dau of Dr. Tho. D'oylie a Physitian of London was born in a market Town in Yorksh called Wakefield descended from an antient and gentile family of his name living sometimes at Holme near Hodsack in Nottinghamshire and being educated in Grammar learning in his native country was at 14 years of age sent to the University of Oxon. in Lent term an 1619 but for want of a vigilant Tutor he lost much time yet having good natural parts did in the fourth year after his coming to the Univ. take the degree of Bach. of Arts and in 1625 being a candidate for a Fellowship of Merton Coll. he was elected Probationer and the year after was made true and perpetual Fellow So that what time and learning he before had lost was by a strict and severe discipline then and there observed recovered and advanced After he had taken the degree of M. of Arts and had entred into holy Orders he became Chaplain to Thom. Lord Wentworth while he was President of the North and afterwards when he was Earl of Strafford but what he obtained from that most noble Lord while he enjoyed that honourable employment I know not In 1638 he went in the quality of a Chaplain as I conceive with his most honoured Lord Lucius Viscount Falkland when he went into Ireland and in the year after returned into England but had nothing then and there conser'd upon him In the latter end of 1642 he became by the favour and interest of the said Viscount then one of the Secretaries of State Canon of Windsore in the room of Dr. Gilb. Primerose deceased but was never installed in that Dignity and much about the same time had the Deanery of Laighlen in Ireland confer'd upon him In which year all things being in a confusion he received no profits from either Dignity So that being destitute of a comfortable subsistance especially in the next year when he lost his most beloved Lord Falkland at Newbury fight he travelled as a Tutor with Charles Berkley Esq afterwards Earl of Falmouth an 1644 and upon a foresight that the Church of England would terminate through the endeavours of the peevish and restless Presbyterians he began to think of setling himself in the Church of Rome At length after mature consideration he renounced his religion and made a publick recantation at Rome of his errours and heresie as they are there called before the Inquisition an 1646. Which being so done he returned to Paris and there published his Motives that induced him to change his religion not that he was so considerable a person that all the World should take notice of it but that he might give some proof both of the mature advice and also reasonableness of his change A certain author tells us that it was not devotion but necessity and want of a subsistence which drove him first out of the Church of England and then into a Monastery And another that he became a Roman Catholick and was insnared to that new choice by the hopes and promise of being to be admitted an idle Drone or Monk in the Charterhouse at Paris where he might live as warmly as lapt all over in Lambskins and like a Bee in a plentiful hive fed with the purest amber honey c. But how such a bait should allure him no man that understands the rules of that order can easily imagine it so to be considering that the Monks thereof spend most of their time whether early or late in prayer in fasting loneness and abstinence from all flesh whatsoever c. Of this I am sure that when he wrot and published his Motives his mind became so humble that it was his eager desire to be a Monk of the English Coll. of Carthusians at Neiuport in Flanders a poor place God wot and very slenderly endowed as the Prior thereof Peter Bilcliff a Yorkshire man born did once tell me But so it was that he being diswaded from that Order because he could never be in a capacity or Master of so much time as to vindicate himself or the Roman Catholick Church by writing he took upon him the habit of the Benedictine Order as I shall anon tell you As soon as his Motives called Exomologesis were made publick he sent a copy into England to his dear friend Dr. Henry Hammond who in a kind letter return'd him thanks for the book and without the least exception against the stile gave this judgment of it that an 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 did privily run through the whole contexture of the book He did not interpret wherein the fallacy consisted but added we are friends and I do not purpose to be your Antagonist At the end of the letter he kindly invited him into England assuring him that he should be provided of a convenient place to dwell in and a sufficient subsistence to live comfortably and withal that not any one should molest him about his religion and conscience Our author Cressey had reason to believe that the said invitation was an effect of a cordial friendship and he was also inform'd that he was well enabled to make good his promise as having the disposal of great charities and being a very charitable man himself Yet rendring such thanks as gratitude required of him he told him that he could not accept of so very kind an offer being engaged almost by vow to leave all pretensions to the World and to embrace poverty for his portion Besides also such a friend as this he had many more several near his Majesty among whom one especially there was of the highest rank to whom formerly upon the rebellion in Ireland he being destitute of a present subsistance he did acknowledge all gratitude due for by his care alone he was provided of a condition both honorable and comfortable So that if he had lost all other friends he had reason to assure himself he would have freely contributed rather than extremity of want should have forced him to quit the world But to return while he continued at Paris Henrietta Maria the Queen of England was very civil to him and being about to leave that place she assign'd him an hundred crowns to furnish him in his journey towards a Monastery Afterwards upon an invitation he went to Doway took upon him the habit of the Benedictine order in the Coll of the English Monks of that Order there And being setled he changed his name from Hugh Paulin which he received at the Font in Wakefield Church to Serenus de Cressy lived according to their discipline for 7 years or more and afterwards became one of the Mission in England At length upon the Kings Marriage with Catherine the Infanta of Portugal he became one of her Servants

Afterward his additional explication and defence both in his Confession of faith c. and in his Four Disputations of Justification c. And tho he hath in these three several pieces thus largely explain'd himself and his Aphorismes yet Dr. Tully as he complains fell notwithstanding upon him without taking notice of any of those following treatises which clear and illustrate his former doctrine in these points But whatever hath been the Doctors dealing towards him on this account at which he seems to be so much concern'd of this I am assured that his publishing the above named book consisting of two parts the far greater part of the former being by his own acknowledgment written 3 or 4 years before and nothing newly added and immediatly directed against the Doctor but barely the 6.7 and 8. Chapters with the answer to the Doctors letter and the latter part being wholly made up of papers which had passed so many years before between the learned Mr. Christ Cartwright and himself concerning his Aphorismes his publishing I say these in answer to the Doctors book which came out some time after was generally looked upon as a scornful slighting and very unfair way of his And tho he thinks fit to call the Doctor in the general Epistle to the Reader more than once a worthy Person yet for all this in the very entrance on the 6 Chapt. of the first part he sufficiently discovers his anger against him in liberally bestowing on a great part of his Justificatio Paulina this foul character viz. that it is defective in point of truth justice charity ingenuity and pertinency to the matter But his published papers wrot long before those books to which they are very improperly by him called answers is not unusual with him and the ingenious and learned Mr. Hen. Dodwell hath not long since complained of this his unjust usuage in relation to himself To conclude since the publishing of the said Justificatio Paulina the author thereof is charactarized by some Church men and Fanaticks to have been a main pillar of the Chur. in defence of her true doctrine Nay and long before it was published a certain hot headed Fanatick tells us in a book afterwards by him made extant that he Tully with Mr. Tho.

He did not I say by these and such like most unwarrantable contrivances endeavour to withdraw weaker persons from the sacred bosome of the Church in order to fix and herd them in associated defying Conventicles He was respected by and maintain'd an amicable correspondence with some of the conformable Clergy because of his great knowledg and moderation He hath written and published Lutherus redivivus or the Protestant doctrine of justification by faith only vindicated And the plausible opinion of justification by faith and obedience proved to be Arminian Popish and to lead unavoidably to Socinianisme part 1.

Charles 1. to wait on her and accordingly he did and readily officiated both in her family and in the English Church there about two years and an half without expecting or receiving any Salary or gratuity at all for so doing There as in all other places where he lived especially at Breda he was blest with a retirement full of satisfaction to himself and with many opportunities of doing much good to others also For besides the constant reading of the Prayers of the Church his Catechizing of young persons his administring the holy Sacraments and his devoutest supplications for the K. and the Church in private he visited the sick and buried the dead and relieved many whom their Loyalty had impoverished His learned acquaintance abroad were Andr. Rivet Dan. Heinsius and Claud. Salmasius whom he often visited to the last of which then abiding at Leyden the King sent our author Morley to give him thanks in his name for the Apology he had published for his martyr'd Father but not with a purse of Gold as Joh. Milton the impudent lyer reported But his acquaintance was more intimate with the famous Sam. Bochart to whom he wrote a Latine Letter from Paris declaring his reasons of not coming to the French Congregation To which Mr. Bochart printed an answer in Latine the year following And as he was zealous for the Church so he was also for his Royal Master wâ—tness the large Epistle he wrote in Latine to Triglandius to vindicate his Master from the false aspersion of Popery For his friends at home of whom he never lost any but by death only were eminent both for parts and quality the chiefest of which were Lucius L. Falkland and Sir Francis Wenman of Oxfordshire both long since dead and Edward Earl of Clarendon who died long after them Among the Clergy were Dr. Rob. Payne Dr. H. Hammond and Dr. Rob. Sanderson late B. of Linc. who were all Canons of Ch. Ch. at the same time with him To these may be added many more as Mr. W. Chillingworth Dr. Gilb. Sheldon Archb. of Cant Dr. Earl of Salisbury c. with the two last of which he kept a constant friendship for above 40 years and enjoyed the company of Dr. Earl very often abroad which made his banishment less tedious to him After his Majesties return this most worthy person Dr. Morley was first made Dean of Ch. Ch being then Chapl. to the Duchess of York whence after he had restored those that had been illegaly ejected in 1648 c. and had filled up the vacant places he was called to be Bishop of Worcester to which See he was Consecrated in the Abbey Church at Westm on the 28. of Octob. 1660 and in the beginning of the next year had the honour to preach the Kings Coronation-Sermon and soon after made Dean of the Chappel Royal in the place of Dr. Sheldon In 1662 he was upon the death of Dr. Duppa translated to the See of Winchester confirmed therein 14.

should be performed in French according to the book of Common Prayer by Law established his Majesty providing for one Minister and they themselves allowed to add to him as many as by them should be thought convenient provided that the said Ministers be presented to the Bishop of London and by him instituted By vertue of the said Grant the Liturgie of the Church of England was first read in French in the Fr. Ch. at VVestm assembled by the Kings special favour in the Chappel of the Savoy in the Strand on Sunday 14 July 1661 and the same day in the morning our author Durell who had the chief hand in setting up this Church according to this new model did preach and in the afternoon Le Couteur then Dean of Jersey from which time he with others were constant Preachers for several years following and much resorted to and admired by all In the beginning of Apr. 1663 he Durell was made Preb. of North Aulton in the Church of Salisbury being then Chapl. in ord to his Maj. and in Feb. following he succeeded Dr. A. Hawles in his Prebendship of VVindsore and about that time was made Prebendary of Durham and had a rich Donative confer'd on him In the latter end of 1669 he was actually created Doctor of Divinity as a member of Merton Coll by vertue of the Chancellours Letters read in a full Convocation held on the 13 of Octob. going before whereby we are informed that his fame was so well known to them the Academians especially for the great pains he had taken in the Church that he could hardly propose any thing to them in his behalf in which they would not be willing to prevent him The most noble Chancellour farther adds that of his parts and learning they were better Judges than himself but had not so much experience of his Loyalty Fidelity and Service to his Majesty as himself c. In July 1677 he became Dean of Windsore in the place of Dr. Br. Ryves deceased and so consequently Dean of VVolverhampton and had he lived some years longer there is no doubt but he would have been promoted to a Bishoprick He was a person of unbyassed and fixed Principles untainted and steady Loyalty as constantly adhering to the sinking cause and interest of his Soveraign in the worst of times who dar'd with an unshaken and undaunted resolution to stand up and maintain the honour and dignity of the English Church when she was in her lowest and deplorable condition He was very well vers'd also in all the Controversies on foot between the Church and the disciplinarian Party the justness and reasonableness of the established Constitutions of the former no one of late years hath more plainly manifested or with greater learning more successfully defended against its most zealous modern oppugners than he hath done as by his Works following is manifest Several of his professed Adversaries do give him great commendations particularly Lewis du Moulin who saith that he is in familiari progressu vir civilis ingenio ore probo pectore niveo oratione profluente lenocinante c. And one of another perswasion named Father Simon Priest of the Congregation of the Oratory calls him a learned English Protestant But now let 's proceed to the Works of Learning by him published which are these Theoremata Philosophiae rationaâ—is moralis naturalis supernaturalis quorum veritatem tueri conabitur in Coll. Sylvano Acad. Cadomensis c. 8 Jul. 1644. Cadom 1644. quart The Liturgy of the Church of England asserted in a Serm. on 1 Cor. 11.16 Lond. 1661. 62. qu. ded to Jam. Duke of Ormonde It was preached in French at the first opening of the Savoy Chap. for the French 14 Jul. 1661. Translated into English by G. B. Doctor of Phys A view of the Government and public Worship of God in the reformed Churches beyond the Seas wherein is shewed their conformity and agreement with the Church of England as it is by Law established Lond. 1662. qu. Tho this book wherein the author speaks several things of himself was wrot in English yet the adverse party thought fit to rally up their scatter'd forces and appear against it in different languages One is in French intit An Apologie for English Puritans The Writer of which neither mentions Dr. Durell or any body else in the title and tho an Independent yet he pleads the cause of the Presbyterians The other Answer which is an Apologie also is said by a certain person to have been written by Hen. Hickman bearing this title Apologia pro Ministris in Anglia vulgo Nonconformists an 1662 Aug. 24 die Bartholomaeo dicto ejectis c. And tho this and others are stiled Apologies yet our author Durell saith they are Satyrs and no other but famosi adversus Ecclesiam Anglicanam libelli Dr. Lew. du Moulin designed once to translate the said View of the Government c. which is often quoted by many eminent Writers and highly commended into Latine for the sake and use of Foreigners but VVill. Jenkyns the noted Presbyterian Minister deter'd him from his purpose threatning him with no lesser punishment than that of eternal damnation if so pernicious a book as he was pleased to call it in which the concord of the Church of England with all the reformed Churches as to Church Government and divine Worship should be by his means communicated to Foreigners The Doctor himself hath told us this saying that for this reason he let fall the work after he had began it having proceeded no farther in it than the translation of the Preface which Dr. Durell had by him as wrot with Moulins own hand This and more concerning the whole matter may be seen in our Authors Responsio ad Apologistae prefationem going next before his Vindiciâ— c. As for Jenkins before mention'd a most rigid Presbyterian he had been Pastor of the Black Fryers and afterwards of Ch. Ch. in London had been engaged with the Presbyterian Ministers in their Plot to bring in K. Ch. 2. from Scotland 1651 for which he had like to have gone to the pot with his dear brother Love was ejected from Ch. Ch. for Nonconformity an 1662 and carrying on afterwards the trade of Conventicling was several times imprison'd and otherwise troubled He hath written many things not now to be mentioned among which is The busie Bishop or the Visitor visited c. Lond. 1648 written in answer to a Pamphlet published by J. G. called Sion Coll. visited He hath also several Sermons extant two or more were preached before the Long Parliament and a fun sermon also on 2 Pet. 1.15 was preached 12 Sept. 1675 by the occasion of the much lamented death of the learned Dr. Laz. Seaman But several passages therein giving offence came out soon after an Answer to some part of it intit A vindication of the conforming Clergy from the unjust aspersions of heresie c. in a letter
to a friend Printed in qu. He had a chief hand also in Celeusma which I shall anon mention and wrot other things He died in the Prison called Newgate in Lond. on the 19 of January 1684 at which time were 80 Dissenters or more then and there remaining and on the 24 of the same month his corps being attended by at least 150 Coaches was inter'd in the burying place called by some the Phanatical and by others Tyndales Burying place joyning on the north side to the New Artillery Garden or Yard near London Soon after was printed and published An Elegy on that reverend and learned Minister of the Gospel Mr. Will. Jenkyns who finished his Testimony c. A comment on which with many things concerning Mr. Jenkyns himself you may see in the 2 vol. of The Observator num 209.210 written by Rog. L'estrange Esq wherein also you 'll find his Petition to the Supreme Authority the Parliam of the Commonwealth of England for the pardon of his life and estate for being engaged in the Plot before mention'd in which Petition being asserted by him that Possession and strength give a right to govern and success in a cause or enterprise proclaims it to be lawful and just c. it was by the decree and judgment of the Univ. of Oxon past in their Convocation 21 July 1683 burnt with certain books in the School Quadrangle as destructive to the sacred person of Princes their state and government c. Our author Dr. Durell hath also written against the aforesaid two Apologies a book intit Sanctae Ecclesiae Anglicanae adversus iniquas atque inverecundas schismaticorum criminationes Vindiciae c. Lond. 1669. qu. In which Vindiciae the author doth only by the by sometimes take notice of the former or first Apologist as thinking him unworthy of any larger confutation but the other Hickman he answers more fully and designedly in his citations following his second edition As for the character given of the said Vindiciae hear what Mathew Scrivner saith in the place before cited in relation to his answer to Hen. Hickman Justo volumine contemptissimi istius capitis veternos nuper obtrivit Durellus fecitque vanissimum autorem inter pueros immodestiae amicitiae suae infelicissimum deplorare exitum And what Lew. du Moulin delivers of it is that it is more offensive to the Puritans than the other book intit A view of the Government c. And therefore against it came out soon after a small piece intit Bonasus vapulans or some Castigations given to Mr. Joh. Durell for fowling himself and others in his English and Lat. book Lond. 1672. in a small oct said to be written by a Country Scholar yet generally believed to have been pen'd by Hickman before mentioned Which book with some additions and alterations came out again with this new title The Nonconformists vindicated from the abuses put upon them by Mr. Durell and Mr. Scrivner Lond. 1679. oct Of which edition and notorious falsities expressed in the title I shall give you an account when I come to H. Hickman Dr. L. du Moulin published also another book against it without his name set to it bearing this title Patronus bonae fidei in causa Puritanorum contra Hierarchas Anglos ut disceptatur in specimene confutationis Vindiciarum clariss viri Joh. Durelli cujus periculum fit cum passim in ejus opere tum Maxime in capite primo in quo agitur de authoribus nuperorum motuum in Anglia Lond. 1672. oct This book hath five distinct running titles all differently paged to the end that the sheets so printed might the better by that means escape the Searchers of the Press The titles are 1. Epistola 2 Specimen 3. Prodromus 4. Defensor and 5. Patronus c. This Patronus bonae fidei tho fraught with scurrilities and the utmost malice and bitterness in which the author whose excellency laid in ill natur'd Satyr could possibly express himself against the Ch. of England and some of her most eminent as well dead as living Propugners yet it is cited more than once as a piece of notable authority in Will Jenkyns's Celeusma seu clamor ad caelum c. Lond. 1677. qu. In which book when the author refers you to the said Patronus bonae fidei the Writer thereof Moulin is characterized as doctissimus clariss and eruditiss possibly as we may justly conceive for his performance in that work Nay 't is not only quoted as a very authentick piece by the said Jenkyns but is cited by Dr. Tho. Godden the great and eminent Rom. Cath. Writer against the Church of England in his Dialogues wrot in defence of Catholicks no Idolaters against Dr. Stillingfleet as a Treatise to be credited in its account of some practices and usuages in the Ch. of England but chiefly of bowing towards the Altar To which citation from Du Moulin Dr. Stillingfleet replies in his book intit Several Conferences between a Romish Priest a fanatic Chaplain and a Divine of the Ch. of England being a full answer to the late Dialogues of T. G. In the pages here quoted in the margin you 'll find an account of the great Knight-service which L. du Moulin did for the Papists and what wonderful good use they made of him besides the sharp character given of his performance in Patronus bonae fidei which I presume could not be over pleasing to that proud and haughty French-man A farther account of him and his Writings is in Dr. Rob. Grove his Defensio suae responsionis ad nuperum libellum qui inscribitur Celeusma c. adversus reputationem ab authore Celeusmatis editum but more particularly from the said Groves former piece called Responsio ad Celeusma c. In the 15 page of this last mention'd book you have this close and smart character of some of this French Doctors most considerable performances thus Erat aliquando tempus cum tu excusatius peccares cum esses olim Irenaeus Philadelphus an 1641 qui à te laesi erant temeritati tuae veniam dabant cum Paraenesin scriberes an 1656 te opus viribus tuis majus aggredi putabant cum Causae jugulum peteres anno 1671 delirare credebant cum Bonae fidei Patronum ederes 1672 insanire videberis nunc autem postquam Ecclesiae Anglicanae progressus ad Papismum emisisti omnes te jam furore arbitrantur c. Altho these Vindiciae of Dr. Durell are well known to be written in good Latin yet Dr. Du Moulin makes such a boasting fulsome comparison between the goodness of Dr. Durell's stile in this book and that of his own in his Patr. bon fidei c. by a strange kind of modesty giving himself the preeminence in such unbecoming extravagant Language that Mr. Mat. Scrivener could not but take particular notice of and reflect on this notable piece of self flattery among other passages
