Will. Burton before-mentioned caused all the said five volumes to be transcribed into one folio which with the originals were by him soon after given to the publick Library of Oxon.

Purefoy Esq afterwards of the Privy Council to Queen Elizabeth in the North parts of England whose Son Tho. Purefoy of Barwell in Leicestershire giving them to Will. Burtâ—n of Lyndley in the same County in the Year 1612 came many Years after by his gift when he had made use of them in compiling his Description of Leicestershire to the Bodlcian or pub Library at Oxon together with the Itinerary in five with the other two quartoes where they yet in the Archives of that Library remain As for some other of his Collections they came after the death of Sir John Cheek into the hands of Will Lord Pagit and Sir Will. Cecyll but to whom from them I find not Perhaps among the said Collect. were those that came afterwards into Sir Rob. Cotton's hands and the Itinerary into those of Will. Burton before-mention'd Howsoever it is sure I am that several eminent Antiquaries have made use of them especially Joh. Bale in his second edition of British Writer but not in the same words that Leland wrot For as he delivered things impartially and in smooth language so Bale quite contrary and full of scurrilities Camden also though now and then he doth mention his Author Leland yet he made considerable use of his Collections in the composing of his Britannia Sir Will. Dugdale hath perused them several times and made great use of them in his Antiquities of Warwickshire and in his volumes called The Baronage of England but withal quotes him honestly for every thing that he hath taken from them To conclude this great Antiquary J. Leland dying on the 18 day of April in Fifteen hundred fifty and two year 1552 was buried in the Church of St. Michaels in le Querne in London Which Church having been situated near to the old cross in West-cheap and not far from the East part of St. Paul's Cathedral was totally burnt down in the grand conflagration an 1666. So that soon after its Parish being united to another the foundation of the said Church was level'd and pitched with Stones as the rest of the street adjoining was and at the East-end where stood the Altar or thereabouts was erected a Conduit of stone to serve the inhabitants of the neighbourhood with water JOHN CLERKE who is reported by a learned Author to be descended from famous and noble lineage was educated in Grammaticals Logicals and Philosophicals among the Oxonians for a time but in what House I cannot as yet tell Afterwards he travell'd into several Countries fell into the company and acquaintance of Rich. Paice mention'd under the Year 1532. studied together in Italy and contracted between them such a faithful and constant friendship that the like could not be read in any Author All things were in a manner common between them and what was by either read or observed was forthwith communicated to each others great advantage After his return to his native Country he was highly esteemed for his accomplishments especially for his exact knowledge in the Latin French and Italian Tongues Whereupon being taken into the service of Thomas the great and mighty Duke of Norfolk was by him made his Secretary a

The said Description of Cambria was Printed again at Oxon. 1663. in two sheets and an half in qu. under the title of A description of Wales but it doth so much differ in words from the former that many Readers are apt to take it for another thing Tractatus de Eucharistia This I have not yet seen only a bare mention of it by Baleus Nor do I know any thing else of the Author only that he died in Qu. Maries days But where or the particular Day Month or Year when I know not WILLIAM THOMAS a Welsh Man born or at least of Welsh extract was educated in all kind of learning fit for a Gentleman but what Degree he took I know not One of both his names was admitted Bach. of the Canon Law in the beginning of Dec. 1529. but whether the same I dare not yet affirm In 1544 he was constrained by some misfortune to abandon the place of his nativity and in Feb. 1546. when the news of the death of King Hen. 8. came into Italy he was at Bologna la Grassa where being in the company of several Gentlemen he entred into discourse in defence of the said King whose honor there had been wrongfully touched Which discourse he afterwards drew up by way of Dialogue directing it to Pietro Aretino the well known Thuscan Poet as famous for his Satyrical wit as infamous for his life and death Afterwards if not before he lived at Padöua where he gathered many materials for his Italian Dictionary and Grammar and in 1549 I meet with him returned to London where he wrot his short but methodical History of Italy About that time his name being highly fam'd for his travels through France and Italy his knowledge in several of the modern tongues and in other sorts of learning he was made Clerk of the Council to K. Ed. 6. but upon his death falling into the displeasure of Qu. Mary and so consequently depriv'd of his place and all hopes of other employment in the Court he thereupon designed her murther one saith that the design was against Steph. Gardiner Bishop of Winchester for which he was sent Prisoner to the Tower of London on the 20. Feb. 1553. in the company of Will. Winter and Sir Nich. Throckmorton committed to that place also On the 26. of the same Month being much conscious to himself that he should suffer a shameful death he endeavour'd to make away with himself by thrusting a knife into his body under his paps but the wound did not prove mortal On the 9. of May 1554. he was arraigned and condemned at the Guild hall in Lond. and on the 18. of the same Month he was drawn from the Tower to Tyburn where after he had made a Speech in defence of himself he told the company that he died for his Country He was a Man of a hot fiery spirit had suck'd in damnable principles by his frequent conversation with Christoph Goodman that violent enemy to the rule of Women and one of more misguided zeal than true Religion and Wisdom This Will.

Thomas I did formerly communicate to H. Foulis when he was gathering materials for an History of the Romish treasons not dreaming then that I should afterwards make use of them as I have done now I am verily perswaded that there are in being other Books of this W. Thomas either publick or in MS. in private hands which time may hereafter produce So that now I shall only say that he suffer'd death at Tybourne before-mentioned by hanging drawing and quartering 18. May in Fifteen hundred fifty and four year 1554 leaving then behind him the character by some of a Person of good parts What became of his quarters I know not THOMAS SWINERTON was descended from an ancient Family of his name living in Staffordshire but whether born in that County I cannot tell and educated partly in Cambridge but mostly in Oxon in all good arts and in the tongues Afterwards taking holy Orders he began to see the light of the Gospel while Sir Tho. More was Lord Chancellour of England in whose time many Hereticks as they were then called were imprison'd and brought into trouble Whereupon being resolved to gain what Proselytes he could to his Religion he changed his name to Joh. Roberts and under that name he not only taught God's word in several places chiefly at Ipswych in Suffolk and Sandwych in Kent but also published and translated several things as A muster of Schismatick Bishops otherwise naming themselves Popes Printed in oct The Plots of Papists entituled by a certain Author De Papiculorum susurris And translated into English The History of the life of Hildebrand called Gregory the 7. written in Latin by Beno a Cardinal and also The life of Hen 4. Emperour of Rome and Almaine Which Henry was imprison'd and deposed by the said Pope Both these translations were Printed in oct and much valued in the time when they were made extant When Qu. Mary came to the Crown and Religion thereupon altered our Author Thom. Swinerton fled beyond the Seas but being overtaken with a certain distemper at Emden in East Frisland in Fifteen hundred fifty and four year 1554 died and was there buried the same Year to the great reluctancy of all those exiles that were there and in those parts JOHN HOPER or Hooper noted to posterity for his manful and painful suffering of death for the Protestant Cause received his first breath in Somersetshire and his Academical Education in Oxon but in what House there unless in that of Merton I cannot yet tell He
of the convocation of the whole Clergy of the Diocess of Canterbury where in speaking and acting he behaved himself with great commendation The same year being forced to leave the said Deanery to make room for Dr. Joh. Fekenham the former Abbat of Westminster and the Monks had that of Windâ—ore bestowed upon him an 1556. But being taken in adultery as some say was deprived of the said Deanery by Card. Pole Archb. of Canterbury in 1557. Whereupon looking on himself as much abused did appeal to an higher Power So that being about to take a journey to Rome to complain to his holiness was seized and clapt up Prisoner within the Tower of London where as I conceive he died Jo. Leland gives him the character of a noted Preacher and Orator of his time and seems to intimate that he had written several Books Jo. Bale who speaks well of few Men saith that he had been sore bytten with a Winchester gose and was not as yet 1554 healed thereof And tells us of his old familiar Mary Huckvale of Oxford and of his provider Goodwife Person and Chrystian Thompson the Widow and I know not what Another equal with Bale in scurrilities saith that Hugh Weston is a drunken burnt tail man a baudy beast a leacherous locust a companion with curtezans of Coleman hedge more meet to be coupled with his old play-fellow and pack-borse Goodwife Hugfaile at Oxon at the tayle of a Cart than to be reverenced and reputed a Mayden Preist in good Queen Maries Court But to let pass this brutish language more fit to be spoken at Billingsgate than by a Person that made Divinity his delight I must tell you that there goes under this Dr. Weston's name Oratio coram patribus clero habita 16.

Weston had with other Persons At length he giving way to fate within the Tower of London as it seems in the Month of Decemb. year 1558 in Fifteen hundred fifty and eight was buried before the image of the Crucifix in the middle of the Church belonging to the Hospital of the Savoy situated in the Strand near to London In his will dat 26. Nov. 1558 made within the Tower of London he bestowed most of his wealth on pious and publick uses took a great deal of care about the ceremoney to be performed at his burial and for the praying for his Soul by several Persons in several places as moneys for a Dirige and Mass to be performed 1 By the Master and Fellows of Balliol Coll. 2 By the Rector and Fellows of Lincoln Coll. 3 By the Chapl. or Priest of the University of Oxon. 4 By the Priest at Islip near Oxon. of which perhaps he had been Rector 5 By the Priest of Burton Novery in Leycestershire at which place if I mistake not he had received his first breath because his Brethren lived there c. with many other things therein which not only shew'd him to be a zealous Catholick but also a Person of a publick spirit WILLIAM FORREST was related to John Forrest before-mentioned but where born I cannot justly say spent several years in study among the Oxonians and was there a Student when the question was discussed among the Doctors and Masters concerning the divorce of King Hen. 8. from his Royal Consort Qu.

Elizabeth but whether he took a degree it doth not appear Afterwards he retired to his Patrimony which was considerable and prosecuting his natural Genie to the study of Heraldry Genealogies and Antiquities became highly valued for his eminent knowledge in them whereby he did not only give a fair lustre to his ancient and noble family whereof he was no small ornament but also to the County of his nativity He was well known to and respected by the Learned Camden who in his Discourse of the antiquity of the City of Coventry in Warwickshire doth make this honorable mention of him Thus much of Coventry yet have you not all this of me but willingly to acknowledge by whom I have profited of Henry Ferrers of Baldesley a man both for parentage and for knowledge of antiquity very commendable and my special friend who both in this place and also elsewhere hath at all times curteously shewed me the right way when I was out and from his Candle as it were hath lightened mine What this Mr. Ferrers hath published I know not sure I am that he made several volums of choice collections one of which in fol. containing Pedegrees I have seen in the Sheldonian Library now in that of the college of Arms from which but chiefly from those of Sir Sim. Archer of Vmberslade in the parish of Tamworth in Warwickshire a person naturally qualified with a great affection to Antiquities Will.

He makes that generally in them all doctrinal which is but in some few personally practiced But our author Foster tho he hath written rationally and in his book hath shew'd great reading yet he hath been answered not without some scorn by Rob. Fludd Doctor of Physick as I shall tell you elsewhere This Will.
