Privy Council Lord Mayor and Aldermen of Dublin The Sermon Preached by the Provost was on the Subject of the Foundation of the College and his Text was Mat. xxvi xiii Verily I say unto you Wheresoever this Gospel shall be Preached in the whole World there shall also this that this Woman hath done be told for a Memorial of her which in this Sermon the Provost apply'd to Queen Elizabeth the Foundress of the College The Sermon was Learned and Ingenious and afterwards Printed by Mr. Ray and dedicated to the Lords Justices who at that time were the Lord Henry Capel Sir Cyril Wiche and William Duncomb Esq In the Afternoon there was several Orations in Latin spoke by the Scholar● in Praise of Queen Elizabeth and the succeeding Princes And an Ode made by Mr. Tate the Poet Laureat who was bred up in this College Part of the Ode was this following I.

We next fell to discourse of the Auctions I made in Dublin and here the Collonel was pleas'd to say I had been a great Benefactor to the Kingdom of Ireland by bringing into it so large a quantity of good Books I thank'd him for the Honour he did me by that Expression and further added that if all my Buyers had been so generous as himself my Venture had been very fortunate This Discourse about my Auction naturally led us to talk of Patrick Campbel the grand Enemy to it and after I had told the Collonel what Treatment I had from Campbel he said I had just Reason to vindicate my self and that he believed there never was a fairer Auction then mine or a better Auctioneer then Mr. Wilde and therefore Madam I dedicate the Dublin-Scuffle to Collonel Butler as a generous Protector of an injur'd Stranger Upon the taking my leave of the Collonel he express'd himself very sorry that I was leaving the Country and said If ever I return'd with a second Venture he wou'd Encourage it all he cou'd for this I return'd him my humble Thanks confessing my unworthiness of those many Favours I had receiv'd from him Then taking my final leave he gave me that endearing Salutation which is the great Expression of kindness among the Gentlemen of Ireland after this tender Favour he honour'd me so far as to s●y he shou'd be wishing for Westerly Winds for my sake till he heard I was landed and so with wishing Mr. Larkin and my self a good Voyage we parted well satis●y'd in the Honour done us by the noble Collonel Madam I told ye that Collonel Butler was very remarkable for his great Humility and generous Temper and you see by his obliging Expressions to Persons so much below him how much he merits that no●le Character of being humble I call it so as Pride lessens or rather disgraces Men of the highest Rank as much or more then it does others and therefore 't is tho' Collonel Butler is very eminent for ev'ry Vertue yet if he excells in one more then another

of spending a few agreeable minutes in this Gentlemans Company which I thought no ordinary Blessing as he was a Person of a truly Humble and Affable carriage As to his Preaching 't is Plain Pure and Edifying and generally without-book The last Sermon I heard in Ireland was Preach'd by the Reverend Mr. Searle upon these Words For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Saviour which is Christ the Lord and I thought it the most Practical and awakening Discourse I ever heard in my Life He succeeded Mr. Davis whose death I mention'd before and is no ways inferiour to him either for good Preaching or vertuous Living In a word I have such an Idea of the Piety and Moderation of this eminent Divine that I could dwell on his Character for ever but I must remember Pickanc● is ready to Sail and I have other Visits to make and so Worthy Sir Adieu For I am now going to take my leave of the Reverend Mr. Rowe a Country Minister a Pious Humble Man and great Encourager of my Book-Adventure I ha'nt the happiness to be known to this Generous Buy●r so I 'll take my leave with this short acknowledgment And my next Farewel shall be to the Reverend Mr. Fisher Chaplain to the Right Honourable the Earl of Meath this Gentleman was a great Encourager of my Auction by which means I had the happiness of enjoying his Company often we were together that very time when Patrick Campbel refus'd to meet me at the Keys in High street The Satisfaction I receiv'd in Mr. Fishers company obliges me to attempt his Character He is all that 's delightful in Conversation so easy company and so far from all constraint that 't is a real pleasure to talk with him he 's a Person of a sweet natural Temper one that 's never out of Humour and I must say I found his Friendship to be ever equal and the same In a word 't is a Vertue to know him and a glimpse of Heaven to hear him Preach But dear Sir Adieu for the wind is Fair and I must be gone but I leave your Company with as much regret as ever I did any Earthly Blessing Having taken my leave of the Clergy my next Visits must be to the Layety and these must be very short for fear the Ship should Sail before I finish my Letter And here I shall first take my leave of the Honourable Colonel Butler a Member of Parliament He is a great Lover of Books and was a constant and generous Encourager of all my Auctions His Affability Candour and extraordinary Sense but more especially his ingenuity in Painting to the Life is beyond what I ever saw in my whole Life but at his House and in his Person 'T is to this Honourable Gentleman I Dedicate my Dublin Scuffle where and in my Visit to him you have his Character more at large so with a short Farewel to the Noble Colonel I shall next pass on to own my great Obligations to Mr. Lum Gradon Esq Councellor Reading and diverse other Members of the Honourable House of Commons who were great Encouragers of my Undertaking and in this Farewel I return 'em my Humble thanks Neither can I in this place forget the many Favours I received from that Worthy Gentleman Christopher Vsher Esq. a Relation of that Famous Prelate Arch Bishop Vsher He 's a Person of True Piety solid Judgment and Great Estate and God has given him a Heart to do good with it in his Life Time for he is very Eminent for his Great Charity and a Vast Encourager of Learning he laid out several Pounds at my Auction and almost daily honoured me with his Presence at my Sale I could write a Folio in this Gentlemans Praise but he 's as Humble as he 's Rich so I sha'nt inlarge lest I offend his Modesty But this hint is enough to shew how worthy he is of that Great Name he bears and therefore however he may resent this Publick Farewel considering his Great Humility yet I could not think of leaving Ireland without paying my thanks to him not only as he was my Friend but one of my Chief Benefactors I shou'd also before I Embarke pay my Acknowledgements to Sir Henry Tichbourn Robert Stopford Es●abque Captain Acghmooty Mr. Recorder of Dublin an Eminent Counsellor Stephen Ludlow Esq one of the Six Clerks to Mr. Iustice Coot of the Kings Bench a Person of great Piety Lives universally Belov'd and justly merits the Honour he enjoys He was pleased to cause several Books to be bought for him at my Sale And here I cannot omit to add to the rest of my Benefactors in this Farewel Mr. Baron Ecling a Person of Great Honour and of a Greatness of Soul beyond most that I ever heard of He is such an Vniversal Lover of Books that very few if any shall escape him whatever they cost He has a very Large and Curious Library yet as inquisitive still after Rarities as if he had none He is a most Noble Encourager of the Book-selling-Trade and whenever he dyes the Stationers of England and Ireland will have a great loss besides what the Publick will sustain thereby I fear if I write on I shall lose my Passage but Gentlemen you see by my unwillingness to leave Ireland how I resent your Generous Treatment But shou'd I t●ke my leave of all my Friends of the Laiety that were kind to me and my Auction I should swell this Farewel beyond bounds However tho I Scribble till the Ship is gone I won't forget at parting to give my thanks to my True and Generous Friend Mr. Robert Jey He was one of those that gave me a Farewel Treat in Essex Street and was my True Friend from first to last and the chief Person I advis'd with in Dublin under any Difficulty He is a real lover of Learni●● as appear'd by what he bought at my Auction Extreamly Civil and Obliging in his Conversation and a Man of that Great Integrity and of such quick dispatch in Business that had I a Thousand Causes they should all be intrusted in his hands I wou'd inlarge in his Character but that I shall meet him again in the Account I design to give of my Conversation in Ireland I have also many Thanks to return to Captain Simon Annion Mr. Rath Iones Mr. Sholdham Mr. Cuppage Mr. Iohn Smith Mr. Moss Mr. Williamson Mr. George Osborn Mr. Bonny Mr. Samuel Martin and diverse other Eminent Atornies who were great Encouragers of my Undertaking Neither can I think of leaving Dublin before I have taken my leave of my Three Printers Mr. Brent Mr. Powel and Mr. Brocas for they come into the number of my Benefactors and I 'm told bought several Books in my Auction besides to forget these would be a little unkind not only as they served me once at a Pinch but as they Printed my daily Catalogues and 't was only by their Presses that I could
