And though he were a man of but a single heart yet was he one of divers tongues able to read the Scriptures without the spectacles of Translatours he both drank and derived those holy waters out of their sweeter Fountains the Originals And even Bellarmine acknowledges the Original is in several cases to be used Luther and Melancthon valued their skill in the Originals above Kingdomes saith Amama in paraen L. H. Our grave Authour like a wise Merchant was well skild in the tongue of the place he traded to being Master of those three grand mother Languages inscribed on the Crosse of Christ besides some others of their Progeny 4.

He was an exact Historian for Ecclesiasticals especially those Records of the Church the ignorance whereof is the mother of many of our growing errours and indevotions Nor was he lesse acquainted with the Schooles though more delighted with the waters of Siloah then of Meriba even a Master of the Master of the Sentences and à Secretioribus unto the Councils even of their Cabinet 6.

He was at last dignified with the Arch deaconry of Colchester and having been above three and thirty years Rector of S. Mary Woolnoth in Lumbard-street London an indefatigable most faithful and most beloved preacher of the Gospel there Lamenting the Distractions fallen upon the Church he departed hence to rest with God Iu● 23. 1643.

His father was Sir Nicholas Bacon Lord Keeper that prudent Counsellour to Queen Elizabeth His Mother the Daughter of Sir Anthony Cook a Lady eminent for Piety and Learning These being the Parents you may easily imagine what ●ssue was like to be 2. He was so pregnant in his Childhood that the Queen took notice of him and delighted much then to confer with him and to prove him with Questions unto whom he delivered himself with maturity above his years that her Majestie would often term him The young Lord Keeper 3. Whilest he was commorant in Cambridge in Trinity Colledge under the Tuition of Dr. Whitgift afterward the renowned Arch-B of Cant. being about sixteen years of age he first fell into the dislike of Aristotles Philosophy yet still attributing high Attributes to the Authour as a Phylosopher onely strong for disputations and contentions but barren of the production of works for the benefit of the life of man In which mind he continued to his dying day 4. After he had passed the circle of the liberal Arts his Father thought fit to frame and mould him for the Arts of State and for that end sent him over into France with the Ambassadour In his absence his Father dying left him being the youngest Son in some streights till after some years he succeeded in the estate of his dearest brother Sir Anthony Bacon a Gentleman equall to him in height of wit though inferiour in learning 5. Being returned from travel he applyed himself to the study of the Canon Law which he took upon him to be his profession and seated himself for the Commodity of his Studies and Practice in Greys Inne where he erected that elegant pile or structure commonly known by the name of The Lord Bacons Lodgings In which house he carried himself with that Comity and Generosity that he was much reverenced and loved by the Readers and Gentlemen of the House 6. His Birth and Capacities qualified him above others of his profession to have ordinary Accesses at Court and to come frequently into the Queens eye who received from him great satisfaction not onely in businesse of Law but also about Affairs of State Yet was he kept back from preferment in the Queens time by the policie of a great States-man then lest if he had risen he might have obscured his Glory Onely she gave him a dry Reversion of the Registers Office in Star-Chamber which fell not till after her Majesties time of which he used to say That it was like another mans ground bu●tting upon his house which might mend his prospect but it did not fill his Barn 7. After the coming in of his new Master King Iames he made a great progresse Sollicitour Atturney Counsellour Keeper and lastly Chancellour which two last places though they be the same in Authority and power yet they differ in Patent since whose time none of his Successours did ever bear the Title of Lord Chancellour * But since the writing hereof the Nation is happy in the right Honourable Edward 〈◊〉 Hide L. high Chancellour of England 8. Towards his rising years not before he entered into a married estate and took to wife one of the daughters and co heirs of Alderman Barnhim Children he had none yet he had other Issues to perpetuate his name the Issues of his Brain in which he was ever happy and admired Neither did the want of children detract from the good usage of his Consort whom he prosecuted with much conjugal Love and Respect 9. The last five years of his life being withdrawn from Civil affairs and from an active life he employed wholly in Contemplation and studies a thing whereof his Lordship would often speak during his Active life as if he affected to die in the Shade and not in the Light In which time he composed the greatest part of his Books and Writings both in English and Latine Some of them are these King Henry the Seventh Natural History
