Holyoake without the addition of Master Bac. or D. of D obtained a License from the University to practice physick whereupon setling in his own Country he exercised that faculty with good success till 1660. In which year his Maj. being restored to his Kingdoms Thomas Lord Leigh Baron of Stoneleigh in Warwickshire presented him to the Rectory of Whitnash near Warwick and soon after was made Prebendary of the collegiat church of Wolverhampton in Staffordshire In 1674 Robert Lord Brook conferr'd upon him the Donative of Breamour in Hampshire which he had by the marriage of his Lady worth about 200 l. per an free from presentation institution and episcopal visitation but before he had enjoy'd it an year or thereabouts he died to the great grief of his family He hath written A large Dictionary in three parts 1.

Brook and author written by Dr. Thom. Barlow B. of Lincolne wherein are many things said of the work and its author But this the reader is to know that the foundation of the said Dictionary was laid by his father Fr. Hol. before mention'd and upon that foundation is the largest Dictionary made that hath been ever yet published in England The said Dr. Holyoake who was much respected in the neighbourhood where he lived for his ingenuity and humanity died of an high Feaver at Breamour on the tenth day of June in sixteen hundred seventy and five Whereupon his body was conveyed to Warwick and there interred by that of his father in the great Church there dedicated to S.

BULSTRODE WHITLOCK son of Sir James Whitlock Knight by Elizab. his wife daugh of Edw. Bulstrode of Hugeley or Hedgley-Bulstrode in Bucks Esq was born in Fleetstreet in London in the house of Sir George Croke Serjeant at Law his Mothers Uncle on the 6 of Aug. 1605 educated in Grammar learning in Merchant Taylors School became a Gent. Com. of S. Johns Coll. in Mich. term an 1620 at which time he was principally recommended to the care and oversight of his fathers contemporary and intimate friend Dr. Laud then President of that House who shewing to him several fatherly kindnesses our author Whitlock did many years after make some returns when the said Doctor then Archb. of Cant was to be brought to a trial for his life especially in this respect when he refused to be one of the Commissioners or number of the Committee appointed by Parl to draw up a charge against him But before our author had taken a degree he went to the Middle Temple where by the help of his father he became a noted proficient in the Common Law well read also in other studies and in time made for himself a large provision from them and a retired contemplation At length when the Long Parliament was to sit he being then a Counsellour at Law he was chose a Burgess for Marlow in Bucks to serve therein and shewing himself very active in baiting the most noble Thomas Earl of Strafford became noted in the House for a man of parts In 1642 he for his activeness for the cause then driving on was made one of the Deputy-Lieutenants of Buckinghamshire at which time a new Lieutenant was constituted by the Parliament and soon after was named one of the Commissioners to treat for peace with the King at Oxon in the name of the Parliament and one of the Lay-Gentlemen to sit among the Ass of Divines In 1644 he became Attorney of the Dutchy of Lancaster Commissioner again for peace and in the same year when Rob. E. of Essex was about to prove Ol. Cromwell an Incendiary he gave him the said Oliver timely notice of the design he being privy to it and thenceforth he became very gratious with that most active person who with his party were very willing to engage him as far as they could to them In 1645 he was appointed one of the Commissioners for the Admiralty and being then suspected to hold intelligence with the Kings party was in danger to have lost all had he not freed himself from that suspicion especially by his urging his losses that he had sufferd by the said party for his adhering to the Parliament in consideration of which he had afterwards given to him 2000 l. In 1646 he was sent for to the Leaguer before Oxon by Sir Tho. Fairfax the General of the Parl. forces who being admitted one of his Council of War he did oftentimes being a friend to the Univ. of Oxon express his unwillingness that any thing of damage should be done to it and pressed for honorable tâ—â—ms to be offer'd to the Garrison there In 1647 O. Cromwell used his advice in many things and therefore by his power it was that in the beginning of March in the said year he was made one of the four Commissioners of the Great Seal In 1648 Ph. E. of Pembrok who was then lately made Constable of Windsore Castle and keeper of the Forest adjoyning constituted him his Lieutenant of those places in the
severe Puritans and under a puritanical discipline And being esteemed a plain honest man a Person of great integrity and profound in the Law he was entertained by both as well loyal as Presbyterian parties In 1643 he took the Covenant and as I have been often informed he appeared several times with other Lay-persons among the Assembly of Divines He was then in great esteem with the Parliament and was employed by the members thereof as to his counsel about several matters particularly in the reducing the Garrison of Oxford to their service who as a Lawyer was added to the Commissioners appointed by them to treat with those appointed by the King And in that capacity he did good service by advising them especially Fairfax the Generalissimo to have in his eye a preservation of that place Oxon so famous for learning from ruin Afterwards tho the loss of the blessed K. Ch. 1. was a great grief to him yet he took the oath called the Engagement and thereby was the more enabled to plead and practice his profession In Jan. 1651. he with Will. Steel Esq Recorder of the City of London Charles George Cock Esq Sir Hen. Blount Kt John Fountaine Esq a common Lawyer Hugh Peters Clerk Joh. Rushworth of Linc. inn Sir Anth. Ashley Cooper Bt c. were appointed by the Parliament to consider of the reformation of the Law and accordingly they met several times in the room formerly called the House of Lords but what the result of their meeting was I cannot yet tell On the 25. of Jan. 1653. our author Hale was by writ made Serjeant at Law and soon after one of the Justices of the Common Bench in which place he acted with great justice and integrity not without the displeasure sometimes as 't is said of the Protector In 1654 he was one of those 5 Knights who were elected for the County of Glocester to serve in that Parliament which began at Westm 3. of Sept. purposely as 't is said to obstruct the mad and wicked projects then on foot by two parties that had very different principles and ends In 1658 he was elected one of the Burgesses of the Univ. of Oxon to serve in that Parliament called Richards Parliament which began at Westm 27. Jan. the same year and in Ap. 1660 he was elected one of the Knights for Glocestershire to serve in that Parliament called the Healing and blessed Parliament which began at the same place on the 25 of the said month Which Parliament calling the King home from his Exile he was soon after made Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer and Knighted In the month of May 1671 he was upon the death of Sir John Keeling advanced to the place of L. Ch. Justice of the Court of Kings Bench and on the 18 of the said month took the usual Oathes before the Lord Keeper and his seat accordingly on that Bench. He was an unwearied Student a prudent man a solid Philosopher a famous Lawyer the Pillar and Basis of justice who would not have done an unjust act for any worldly price or motive the ornament of his Majesties Government and honour of England the highest faculty of the soul of Westminster Hall and pattern to all the reverend and honorable Judges a godly serious practical Christian the lover of goodness and all good men a lamenter of the Clergies selfishness and unfaithfulness c. a great contemner of riches pomp and vanity of the world a pattern of honest plainess and humility c.

and Commons dash'd that good intent by passing a Bill for taking away the Government of the Church by Bishops Yet before the passing thereof the Clergy being allowed liberty to speak for themselves they all with one consent made the said Dr. Hacket their mouth to speak their sense of the matter which being the next day perform'd with general applause of all except those that nothing could please it did for the present put a stop to that Bill yet soon after by a new question it past without a second hearing of the learned Doctor Afterwards he being silenced by them at S. Andrews in Holbourne he retired to Cheame where he also used the Liturgy till forbidden by the Parliament Afterwards he suffered by imprisonment by the Army under Robert Earl of Essex when they went to fight against their King and being released he retired to Cheame which he kept during the times of Usurpation After his Maj. restauration the Bishoprick of Gloc. was offer'd to him but he refusing it the then L. Chanc. made advantage of it and caused it to be confer'd on Dr. Nicolson Afterwards being made B. of Lichfield and Cov. as I have before told you as also in the Fasti an 1616 he repaired to Lichf in the Spring time an 1662 and finding the Cathedral there quite ruined in the time of the most wicked rebellion he set himself to the rebuilding thereof and finished the same in about eight years time making it far more beautiful than it was before with the expence of 20000 l a thousand of which he had of the Chapter and the rest was of his charge and of his procuring from Benefactors On Christmas Eve in 1669 the said Cathedral was dedicated by him with the usual ceremonies required in such a matter and in feasting three several parties of men for three days He also laid out a 1000 l. in repairing the house of his residence there that of his predecessors having been destroyed in the time of the said rebellion and did much endeavour to settle a pious and laborious Clergy in his Diocess by his own example of constant preaching This worthy Bishop died on the 28 of Oct. 1670 and was buried in his own Cathedral where is a very noble and conspicuous monument over his grave erected by his Son Sir Andrew Hacket of Moxhull in Warwickshire sometimes one of the Masters in Chancery After his death were A century of Sermons that had been preached by the said Bishop published with his life written at large set before them by Thomas Plume D.

Ch. 1. had taken up his head quarter and was by his Maj. command actually created Doctor of Div. in Feb. 1642. In the next year Rob. Dawson Bach. of Div. and Bishop of Clonfort and Kilmacogh in Ireland departing this mortal life at Kendal in Westmorland the place of his nativity his Majesty was pleased to grant the said Bishopricks to Dr. Bayly before mention'd Whereupon being consecrated at Oxon on the second day of May 1644 by Dr. Usher Archbishop of Armagh and two Irish Bishops sate there without any translation to another See till the time of his death which hapning at Clonfort before mention'd on the eleventh day of Aug in sixteen hundred sixty and four was buried in the Cathedral Church there In the said Sees of Clonfort and Kilmacogh succeeded Edw. Wolley Doctor of Divinity of whom I shall make mention in the Fasti among the created Doctors of Div. an 1642. WILLIAM PAUL a person of good parts and well vers'd in Ecclesiastical and Civil Laws was born in Eastcheap within the City of London became a student in this University an 1614 aged 15 years or thereabouts and soon after one of the Clerks of Allsouls Coll. About Allsaints time in 1618 he was elected Fellow of the said house and after he had proceeded in Arts he took holy Orders and preached frequently in these parts In 1632 he being then Rector of Brightwell alias Baldwin Brightwell near Watlington in Oxfordshire he proceeded in Divinity answered the Divinity Act with general satisfaction was about that time made one of the Chaplains to his Majesty K. Ch. 1. and afterwards Residentiary of Chichester A little before the rebellion broke out he preached a Sermon at the Episcopal Visitation of Dr. Bancroft B. of Oxon on Acts 17.22 Then Paul stood up in the midst of Mars hill and said ye men of Athens I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious In the time of the rebellion he did suffer in some part for his loyalty and therefore upon his Majesties restauration an 1660 he was made one of his Chaplains and Dean of Lichfield in the place of Dr. Griff. Higgs who died the year before Afterwards being esteemed wealthy and knowing in secular affairs he was by the endeavours of Dr. Sheldon Archb. of Cant. somtimes his fellow Collegiat promoted to the See of Oxford upon the translation of Skinner to Worcester in hopes that he would rebuild the Bishops Pallace at Cudesden And having in part promised so to do he had liberty allow'd him to keep the rectory of Brightwell before mention'd and the rich rectory of Chinnor in Oxfordshire which he some years before had obtained in Commendam with his Bishoprick Soon after being consecrated but the day when I know not and installed or enthronized on the 7 of January 1663 he bought and laid in at Cudesden a considerable quantity of timber but before any thing else could be done in the matter he died which hapning at Chinnor on the 24 of May in sixteen hundred sixty and five his body was conveyed to Brightwell before mention'd and buried in the Chancel of the Church there Soon after was a comly monument set up against the wall over his grave at the charge of his disconsolate Widow the beginning of which is this Posteris aeternitati sacrum Hic subtus conduntur sacrae heu quantillae viri magni reliquiae Gulielmi Paul infans ad magna natus Londini an 1599.

Axe-yard joyning to Kingstreet within the City of Westminster where he died in the very beginning of the year about 25 of March sixteen hundred fifty and four but where he was buried I cannot tell for the register of S. Margarets Church wherein Axe-yard is situated mentions him not to have been buried in that Parish Now as for John Lilbourne before-mention'd he having been very famous for his infamy I shall say these things of him He was born of a good Family at Thickley-Punchardon in the County Pal. of Durham and when very young was sent to London and bound an Apprentice to a packer of Cloth in S. Swithins-lane At which time and before he was esteemed a youth of an high and undaunted spirit of a quick and pregnant apprehension and of an excellent memory yet always after much addicted to contention novelties opposition of Government and to violent and bitter expressions About the year 1632 he upon the dislike of his trade had a mind to study the common Law and therefore upon his and the desire of his friends he was taken into the service of Mr. Will Prynne of Linc. Inn who shortly after suffering for his Histrio-Mastix as I shall tell you at large when I come to him his Servant Lilbourne took his Masters part imprinted and vended a book or books against the Bishops for which being committed Prisoner to the Fleet was afterwards whipped at a Carts tail from the said Fleet to Westminster the indignity of which he being not able to endure railed all the way against his Persecutors When he came to the Pallace yard he stood in the Pillory two hours and talking there to the People against the State was gagg'd In 1640 he was released from his Prison by the Members of the Long Parliament and soon after took upon him the place of a Captain in their Service and after the battle of Edghill being taken Prisoner at Brainford in the year 1642 was carried to Oxon and there arraigned for a Traytor for levying War against the Person of the King Afterwards he being released he was made a Lieutenant Colonel and became for a time the Idol of the factious party But he being naturally a great trouble-world in all the variety of Governments became a hodg-podg of Religion the chief ringleader of the Levellers a great proposal maker and modeller of state and publisher of several seditious Pamphlets among which were 1 A Salva Libertate 2 Impeachment of High Treason against Oliver Cromwell and his Son in Law Hen. Ireton Esq 3 The outcry of the young men and the Apprentices of Lond. or an inquisition after the loss of the fundamental Laws and Liberties of England c. 4 The legal fundamental Liberties of the People of England revived 5 Preparation to an hue and crie after Sir Arth. Haselrig c. For which and for his endeavors to disturb the peace and subvert the Government of this Nation he was committed Prisoner to Newgate in Aug. 1645 where continuing a considerable while several Petitions subscribed by hundreds of Citizens and others as also by his Wife and many Women were put up to the Parliament for his releasment Afterwards he was transmitted to the Tower where having too much liberty allowed him he and his party spake very disgracefully of the two Houses of Parliament to whom it appeared that there was a design of many thousands intended under a colour of Petition to dishonour the Parliament and their proceedings whereupon his liberty was restrained and he was ordered to appear at the bar of the H. of Commons This was in Jan. 1647 and accordingly appearing he made a large answer to the information against him at which time the reading of proofs and examination of the business held till six of the Clock at night and then the House ordered that he be remanded to the Tower and tried by the Law of the Land for seditious and scandalous practices against the State Which order being not obeyed for his party withheld him under a pretence of a great meeting to be at Deptford in Kent about their Petition that is The Petition of many thousands of the free-born People of England c. it was ordered that the Officers of the Guards do assist the Sergeant in carrying him and Maj. Jo. Wildman to Prison which was done and that the Committee of Kent take care to suppress all meetings upon that Petition and to prevent all tumults and that the Militia of London c. take care to suppress such meetings and to prevent inconveniencies which may arise thereby and upon the said Petition Afterwards he seems to have been not only set at liberty but to have had reparations made for his sentence in the Star Chamber and sufferings before the Civil War began But he being of a restless spirit as I have told you published a Pamphlet entit Englands new Chains discovered c. which was the bottom and foundation of the Levellers design of whom he was the Corypheus Whereupon being committed again about the beginning of 1649 was brought to his trial in the Guild-hall where after great pleadings to and fro he was quitted by his Jury to the great rejoycing of his party Afterwards he went into the Netherlands and there as 't is said became acquainted with the Duke of Buckingham Lord Hopton Captain Titus c. At length being desirous to see his native Country he returned into England where after he had continued some time in his projects to disturb the Government he was apprehended and committed to Newgate and at length brought to his trial at the Sessions-house in the Old Baylie 20. Aug. 1653. but quitted again by his Jury Soon after he was conducted to Portsmouth in order to his conveyance beyond the Seas but by putting in for his peaceable deportment for the future he return'd fell into the acquaintance of the Quakers became one of them setled at Eltham in Kent where somtimes he preached and at other times at Wollidge and was in great esteem among that party At length departing this mortal life at Eltham on Saturday 29. of Aug. 1657 his body was two days after conveyed to the house called The Mouth near Aldersgate in London which was then the usual meeting place of Quakers Whence after a great controversie among a strange medley of People there mostly Quakers whether the Ceremony of a Hearse-cloth should be cast over his Coffin which was carried in the negative it was conveyed to the then new burial place in Morefields near to the place called now Old Bedlam where it was interred This is the Person of whom the magnanimous Judge Jenkins used to say that if the World was emptied of all but John Lilbourne Lilbourne would quarrel with John and John with Lilbourne This Jo. Lilbourne who was second Son of Rich. Lilbourne Esq by Margaret his Wife Daughter of Thom. Hixon of Greenwich in the County of Kent Yeoman of the Wardrobe to Qu. Elizabeth had
the same time was such a great party of that Faction present that Oliver being suspicious of some mischief that might arise sent Maj. General Joh. Bridges with eight Troops of Horse to those parts who taking up his quarters at Wallingford many of his men attended in and near Abendon during the time of Praying Preaching and Burying After the burial were tumults raised by Preaching which would have ended in blows had not the Soldiers intercepted and sent them home SIMON BIRCKBEK son of Tho. Birck Esq was born at Hornbie in Westmorland became a Student in Queens Coll. in the year 1600 and that of his age 16 where he was successively a poor serving child Tabarder or poor child and at length Fellow being then Master of Arts. About which time viz. 1607. entring into holy Orders he became a noted Preacher in these parts was esteem'd a good Disputant and well read in the Fathers and Schoolmen In 1616 he was admitted to the reading of the Sentences and the year after became Vicar of the Church of Gilling and of the Chappel of Forcet near Richmond in Yorksh by the favour of his Kinsman Humph. Wharton Esq Receiver general of his Majesties Revenues within the Archd. of Richmond the Bishoprick of Durham and County of Northumberland In which place being setled he was much esteemed by the Clergy and Laity of the Neighbourhood for his exemplary life and conversation He hath written The Protestants evidence shewing that for 1500 years next after Christ divers guides of Gods Church have in sundry points of Religion taught as the Church of England now doth Lond. 1634. 35. qu.

Albans Hall in the beginning of the year 1601 and in that of his age 17 elected Demy of Magd. Coll. soon after and in the year 1609 he was made perpetual Fellow of that House being then Mast of Arts which was the highest degree he took in this University While he continued there his eminency was great was resorted to by noted men especially of the Calvinian Party had many Pupils put to his charge of whom divers became afterwards noted for their Learning as Accepted Frewen Archb. of York Will. Pemble c. Afterwards leaving the Coll. upon the obtaining of the Rectory of Eastington in his own Country became eminent there among the puritannical Party for his painful and practical way of preaching his exemplary life and conversation and in doing many good offices for those of his function When the book concerning Sports on the Lords day was ordered to be read in all Churches an 1633 he refused to do it and thereupon willingly resigning his Rectory obtained licence to practice Physick from the Bishop of Glocester so that setling at Pitchcomb near to Strowd in the said County where he had a temporal Estate was resorted to especially by those of his opinion for his success in that faculty In the beginning of the grand Rebellion he closed with the Presbyterians was made one of the Ass of Divines but refused to sit among them and was as I conceive restored to his Benefice or else had a better confer'd on him He was esteemed by those of his opinion an excellent Preacher and one that kept close to the footings of Jo. Dod Rob. Cleaver Arth. Hildersham and Jo. Rainolds of the last of whom he would often say that He was as learned a man as any in the world as godly also as learned and as humble as godly He hath written God's valuation of mans soul in two sermons on Mark 8.36 Lond. 1632. qu.

Hands had issue Rich. Capel before mention'd EDMUND WINGATE son of Roger Windg of Bornend and Sharpenhoe in Bedfordshire Esq was born in 1593 became a Commoner of Queens Coll. in 1610 and took one degree in Arts which being compleated by Determination he retired to Greys Inn where he had entred himself before that time a Student for the obtaining knowledge in the municipal Laws But his genie being more bent to the noble study of Mathematicks which had before been promoted and encouraged in Queens Coll. did at length arrive to great eminence in that faculty and was admired by those few in London that then professed it In 1624 he transported into France the Rule of Proportion having a little before been invented by Edm. Gunter of Gresham Coll and communicated it to most of the chiefest Mathematicians then residing in Paris who apprehending the great benefit that might accrue thereby importun'd him to express the use thereof in the French Tongue Which being performed accordingly he was advised by Mounsier Alleawne the Kings chief Engineer to dedicate his book to Mounsier the Kings only Brother since Duke of Orleance Nevertheless the said work coming forth as an Abortive the publishing thereof being somewhat hastned by reason an Advocate of Diion in Burgundy began to print some uses thereof which Wingate had in a friendly way communicated
to him especially in regard Gunter himself had learnedly explained its use in a far larger Volume For albeit it were great presumption in Wingate to assume to himself the reputation of having better abilities to describe any of the uses thereof yet he could averr upon his own knowledge that he did forbear to explain its use because he took it for granted none would meddle with it but such only who were already well able to understand how to number upon it having before hand acquainted themselves with the manner of numbring upon Scales and with the nature of Logarithms After our Author Wingates return from France where he taught the Kings daughter Henrietta Maria afterwards Queen of England and her Ladies the English Tongue he importun'd Gunter to make a fuller Explanation how to number upon it viz. the Rule of Proportion to the end that the use thereof might by that means be made more publick but his Answer was That it could not be expected that the rule should speak intimating thereby that the Practitioner should in that point rely much upon discretion and not altogether depend upon precepts and examples Some time before the grand Rebellion broke out he the said Wingate became a Bencher of Greys Inn having a seat then at Ampthill in Bedfordshire afterwards took the Covenant was made Justice of the Peace Recorder of Bedford and had other places of profit confer'd on him In 1650 or thereabouts he took the Oath called the Engagement became known to Oliver and was one of the six persons that were elected for the Town and County of Bedford to serve in that Parliament called by Oliver that met at Westminster 3 Sept. 1654 about which time he was appointed one of the Commissioners for his County of Bedford to eject such whom they then called ignorant and scandalous Ministers and Schoolmasters He hath written The use of the rule of Proportion in Arithmetick and Geometry wherein is inserted the construction and use of the same rule in Questions that concern Astronomy Dialing Geometry Navigation Gageing c. printed at Paris in the French Language 1624 in oct and at Lond. in 1645 and 58. in oct Of natural and artificial Arithmetick or Arithmetick made easie in two books Lond. 1630. oct with an Appendix concerning equation of time The first of which books which treats of natural Arithmetick is only a key to open the secrets of the other performed by Logarithms and both borrowed from John Neper Baron of Markiston in Scotland and Hen.

Ch. 1. made Governour to the Duke of Buckingham and his Brother the Lord Francis Villiers with whom he travelled beyond the Seas While he continued in Italy it hapned that walking in the Garden of the House where he lodged he was shot with a brace of bullets in his thigh by men who watched him on the other side of the wall a usual adventure in that Country and assoon as he fell the men who had done it leaped over the wall and looking upon him beg'd his pardon and said they were mistaken for he was not the man that they intended to kill which was all the satisfaction he had After his return into England and had delivered up his charge of the two noble Brothers to the King who highly approved of the care he had taken of their education as it appears by the grant his Maj. was pleased to give him of the first place of Grome of his Bed-chamber which should become void the King was pleased to command him to translate Davila's History he being a perfect Master of the Italian Language which he did with the assistance of his constant Friend Sir Charles Cotterel and published it under this title The History of the Civil Wars of France written in Italian by Henry Canterino de Avila Lond. 1647. fol. written in 15 Books to which was a continuation of 15 books more In the year following our Translator Aylesbury went beyond the Sea and dwelt at Antwerp with his Relations till 1650 at which time being reduced to great straights stole over into England where he lived for some time among his friends and acquaintance and sometime at Oxon. among certain Royalists there At length Oliver Cromwell sending a second supply to the Island of Jamaica he engaged himself in that expedition in the quality of a Secretary to the Governour as I have heard where he died in the year sixteen hundred fifty and seven otherwise had he lived till the Restauration of K.

Afterwards he was Preacher to the Inhabitants of S. Mildrids Parish in Breadstreet within the City of London which he quitting upon no good account before the beginning of the rebellion he became the scandalous and seditious Minister as one calls him of Cogshall in Essex But soon after upon appearance of the said rebellion he retired to the said City again and being a voluble Preacher he was thought fit not only to exercise his parts at S. Mildrids beforemention'd but also before both Houses of Parliament the Members of which constituted him one of the Assembly of Divines as being a Covenanteer to the purpose While he preached at S. Mildrids which was only to exasperate the People to rebel and confound Episcopacy 't was usual with him especially in hot weather to unbutton his doublet in the Pulpit that his breath might be the longer and his voice more audible to rail against the Kings Party and those that were near to him whom he called Popish Counsellors This he did in an especial manner in Sept. 1644 when he with great concernment told the People several times that God was angry with the Army for not cutting off Delinquents c. Afterwards about 1646 he became Minister of the Church of S. Paul in Convent Garden where as also sometimes in the Country he kept up the vigour of a Presbyterian Ministry which for divers years prospered according to his mind to the converting of many and conviction of more In 1653 he was appointed one of the number of triers or examiners of Ministers appointed by Parliament and the year after he was by the members thereof constituted an Assistant to the Commissioners of London for the ejection of such whom they then called scandalous and ignorant Ministers and Schoolmasters At length finding himself decayed by his too zealous carrying on the Covenanting work he resigned his charge in Convent Garden about two years before his death and retired to Marlborough Soon after the Earl of Bedford upon some consideration confer'd the said Church on the son-in-Son-in-law of our Author Sedgwick called Thomas Manton as zealous a Presbyterian as the former where he continued till the Act of Uniformity ejected him as I shall tell you when I come to him As for our Author Sedgwick he hath these things following going under his name Several Sermons as 1 Military discipline for a Christian Soldier on 1.

Lane of Courtenhall in Northamptonshire by Elizabeth his Wife Daughter of Clem. Vincent of Harpole in the said County was educated from his youth in the study of the Com. Law in the Middle Temple where he made great proficiency beyond his contemporaries was called to the Bar and became a Counsellour of note In the 5. of Char. 1. he was elected Lent Reader of his Inn but did not read because of the pestilence and when the Long Parliament began he was so much esteemed for his great knowledge in the Law that the most noble Thomas Earl of Strafford made use of him to manage his cause when he was tried for high treason in the latter end of 1640. Soon after he was made Attorney to Prince Charles at which time seeing what strange courses the members of Parliament took when the King had given them leave to sit he entrusted his intimate friend Bulstrode Whitlock a Counsellour of the Middle Temple with his Chamber there all his goods therein and an excellent Library and forthwith leaving London he retired to the King at Oxon where in 1643 he was made Serjeant at Law Lord chief Baron of the Exchecquer a Knight on the 4 of Jan. the same year and about the same time one of his Majesties honourable Privy Council In the latter end of the next year he was nominated one of the Commissioners by his Maj. to treat of Peace with those of the Parliament at Vxbridge and on the 30 of Aug. 1645 he had the Great Seal delivered to him at Oxon on the death of Edward Lord Littleton In May and June 1646 he was one of the prime Commissioners to treat with those appointed by Parliament for the surrender of the Garrison of Oxon and soon after conveyed himself beyond the Sea to avoid the barbarities of the Parliament In his absence his Son was conducted to the said B. Whitlock then in his greatness to the end that the said goods of his Father then in his possession might be delivered to him for the use of his said Father who then wanted them but Whitlock would not own that he ever knew such a Man as Sir Richard and therefore he kept what he had of his to the great loss of him the said Sir Richard who died as a certain author tells us in the Isle of Jersey before the month of Aug. 1650 but false as I presume because that on the 22 of Apr. 1651 a Commission issued forth from the Prerogative Court to the Lady Margaret his Relict to administer the goods chattels and debts of him the said Sir Richard late of Kingsthorp in Northamptonshire who died in the Kingdom of France This Sir Rich.

was choak'd by the Sands giving thereby a period to his vain hopes of being the grand Master of Malta having been a Roman Catholick several years before he died He left behind him a Widow not so rich but that she received relief upon her petition after his Majesties return from Kings Coll. in Cambridge and two Daughters who were of his religion one of which was afterwards Mistress to Prince Rupert as I have elsewhere told you He had also a Brother called Maximilian Bard a rich Milliner in London who was employed by the Long Parliament to buy for them Horses in the time of their rebellion This Brother as 't is supposed furnished him with money in his travels and high living being a great admirer of his accomplishments and as much despised by him Doct. of Phys May 9.

Fanshaw Esq Servant to Prince Charles should have the degr of Doctor of the Civil Law confer'd upon him but whether he was presented thereunto tho diplomated he might be it appears not in the publick Register Howsoever it is sure I am that certain Masters now living in the University did many years after report that he had that degree confer'd on him here yet whether personally presented thereunto they could not positively affirm This right worthy and loyal person Richard Fanshaw originally of the University of Cambr. was descended of the family of Fanshaw of Fanshaw gate in Derbyshire being the great Grandchild of John Fanshaw of that place brother of Henry Fanshaw and father of Tho.

Thomas Lord Fairfax Baron of Camerone in Scotland Generalissimo of all the Parliament Forces in England and Constable of the Tower of London was created Doctor of the Civil Law being then in Oxford and entertained by the members thereof as Cromwell and divers prime Officers were The ceremony of the Creation was thus After he had been adorned with a scarlet gown in the Apoditerium or Vestry belonging to the Convocation but without hood or cap the new Beadles who had not yet got their silver staves from those that were lately ejected conducted him with Cromwell towards the upper end of the Convocation House the members thereof then standing up bare whereupon Hierom Zanchy one of the Proctors rising from his seat which pro tempore was supplied by a Master and going to and standing on his left side took him by the right hand and presented him in a most humble posture to the Vicechanc. and Proctors standing with a short flattering Lat. speech such as 't was Which being done and he who then held the Chancellours Chair Dr. Chr. Rogers admitting him with another flattering speech by his authority or rather observance Zanchy and the Beadles conducted him up to the next place on the right hand of the Chancellours Chair This person who made a great noise in his time not only in England but throughout a great part of the world was Son and Heir of Ferdinando Lord Fairfax a busie and forward man in Yorkshire in raising men and maintaining the Parliament cause against his Majesty by the Lady Mary his Wife Daughter of Edmund Lord Sheffield Earl of Mulgrave which Ferdinando dying 13.

Dec. 1644 at which time they cashier'd Robert Earl of Essex of that high command with whom they had sworn 12. July 1642 to live and dye This making of a new General was done when the Parliament ordered their Army to be new modell'd So that victory in a manner being prepared to his hand he vigorously proceeded and what he did in a short time for the blessed cause which is too much here to be set down let the author of Englands recovery c. tell you who tho in the latter end of that book p. 321. he doth highly characterize him especially for his religion but little for policy yet a severe Presbyterian will tell you that he was a Gentleman of an irrational and brutish valour fitter to follow another mans counsel than his own and obnoxious to Cromwell and the Independent faction upon whose bottom he stood for his preferment it having been no dishonour to him to become the property of another mans faction c. adding these matters but what will not a fool in

Maries Ch. in Oxon near to the door that leads thence into Adam Brome's Chappel In his younger years he was esteemed a Papist or at least Popishly affected but being drawn off from that Opinion in his elderly years he would take occasion oftentimes to dispute against Papists and their Opinions which was not at all acceptable to his Nephew and Neice Blount before mentioned which was the cause that his room rather than company was desired by them and could not endure any person that seemed to favour the Opinions of Arminius or Socinus His picture now hangs in the Gallery belonging to the public Library at Oxon.

In the time of the rebellion in Ireland he lost all there and suffer'd much for the royal cause but being restored to what he had lost after his Majesties return was in requital of his sufferings made Bishop of Fernes and Laighlin in the said Kingdom to which Sees being consecrated in the Cathedral Church of S. Patrick on the 27 of January 1660 sate there to the time of his death which hapned in sixteen hundred sixty and five as I have been informed by one of his successors in the said Sees named Dr. Narcissus Marsh now Archb. of Cashiells who also told me that Dr. Rich.

But whereas I have said there that he was author of Herod and Pilate reconciled c. which I took from Mercurius Publicus published 4. June 1663 wherein 't is said that Dr. Owen late Bishop of S. Asaph was the author it proves an errour for David Owen was the writer of it as I have told you in the said vol in the Fasti p. 803 wherein the first part of the title is omitted for whereas the title there is The concord of a Papist and Puritan for the coercion deposition and killing of Kings it should be Herod and Pilate reconciled or the concord of a Papist c.
