He was afterwards raised by the favour of K. James and K. Ch. 1. unto great honours as his singular virtues did merit K. Jam. made him a Knight and a Privy Counsellour K. Charles advanced him to be Lord President of the Sessions and at length Principal Secretary of Scotland in the place of William Earl of Lanerick afterwards Duke of Hamilton when he revolted to the Covenateers of that Kingdom After James Marquess of Montross had gained great victories against the said Cov. the said Sir Rob. Spotswood conveyed from the King at Oxon to him the said Montross letters pattents whereby he was made Vice-Roy of Scotland and General of the Army there But being soon after taken prisoner upon the defeat of Montross near Silkerke he was conveyed to S. Andrews where at length they found him guilty of High Treason lamented by many because he never bore arms against them for his eminency laid in the way of peace and knew not what belonged to the drawing of a sword His treason being for conveying the said let pat he was beheaded at S. Andrews in 1645 leaving then behind him the general character of a most excellent and good man He was a Gentleman of great abilities both in the Art of Government and study of the law hath written things in nature of our Reports of the law which have been highly valued among Lawyers in Scotland His Father was Dr. Joh.

He was afterwards Marquess and Duke of Hamilton and Earl of Cambridge 6 James Baylie Governour to the said Count was admitted at the same time to the Fellows table with him See in the Fasti 1621. among the Creations It is farther also to be noted that as the said College did send out many eminent men into the Church and State that had been under the Government of Prideaux so also many that did great mischief and were enemies to them as you may see at large in this work in the lives and characters of several that had been educated in the said College Some also of the English Nobility having been sent thereunto have by the Principles that they have sucked in proved no great friends either to the Church or State Among such have been John Lord Roberts E. of Radnor a severe predestinarian and a Promoter of the grand Rebellion Philip Lord Wharton another Promoter Sir Anth. Ashley Cooper Earl of Shaftesbury of whom shall be large mention made elsewhere Philip the second Earl of Pemb. and Mountgomery who lived and died little better than a Quaker c. HENRY TOZER was born at North Tawton in Devonshire entred into Exeter Coll. in 1619 and in the year of his age 17 took one degree in Arts and then was made Prob. Fellow of his House 1623. Afterwards he proceeded in that faculty took holy orders and became a useful and necessary Person in the society by moderating reading to Novices and lecturing in the Chappel At riper years he was admitted Bach. of Div became an able and painful Preacher had much of the Primitive Religion in his Sermons and seem'd to be a most precise Puritan in his looks and life which was the true reason why his preachings and expoundings in the Churches of S. Giles and S. Martin in Oxon. were much frequented by Men and Women of the Puritanical party In 1643 he was elected one of the Assembly of Divines but refused to sit among them choosing rather to exercise his function in Oxon before the K. or Parliament or in his cures there than venture himself among rigid Calvinists In 1646 a little before the garrison of Oxford was surrendred for the use of the Parliament he was one of those noted Theologists who had either preached at Ch. Ch. before his Majesty or at S. Maries before the Parliament that were nominated by the Chancellour of the University to have the degree of D. of D. bestowed upon them but that also he as others refused In 1647. and 48 he behav'd himself a stout Champion against the unreasonable proceedings of the Visitors appointed by Parliament For which being by them posted up for an expell'd Scholar revoked their sentence so far that by an order dated 2. Nov. 16â—8 they impower'd him to have liberty to use his Chamber in Exeter Coll. as also that he enjoy a Travellers allowance for three years Afterwards he went into Holland and became Minister to the worshipful company of English Merchants at Roterdam His works are these Directions for a godly life especially for communicating at the Lords table Oxon. 1628. oct There again the tenth time 1680. oct Several Sermons as 1 A Christian amendment Serm. on New-years-day at S.

a Republick and I know not what to advance himself In the month of Aug. the same year he was made Lord Lieutenant of Oxfordshire by the Parliament and was persuaded almost to fortifie the City of Oxon for their use and to make Bulstrode Whitlock sometimes of S. Johns Coll. then a Member of Parliament Governour thereof but for what reasons he could not be overcome it appears not At the same time he did endeavour to engage the People of the said County in a Rebellion not only at Oxon but afterwards at Woodstock where he did protest upon his honour after Edghill Fight that the King had neither men nor money nor arms but the Parliament had all these c. On the 27 of Dec. and 8 of Febr. in 1642 his Maj. published two Proclamations commanding all the Officers of the Court of Wards to attend him at Oxon but this Lord Say refusing to come was outlaw'd and attainted of Treason So that he being put out of his place and a new Seal made for the use of the said Court it was ordered then to remain in the custody of the said Francis Lord Cottington In 1646 the Court of Wards was taken away by the Parliament sitting at Westminster the Members of which did recompence the Lord Say for his loss as being Master with the sum of 10000 l and Sir Ben. Rudyard the Surveyour of the said Court with the sum of 6000 l and both with Lands from the Earl of Worcester's Estate In 1648 he shew'd himself a zealous enemy in the House against a personal Treaty with his Majesty and the same year was present with the Parliament Commissioners in the Isle of Wight when they treated in order for Peace with the King At which time this Lord Say did boldly urge to his Maj. a passage out of the three last and corrupted books of Mr. Rich. Hocker's Ecclesiastical Polity that tho the King was singulis major yet he was universis minor which was answer'd with great prudence and dexterity by his Maj. as may be elsewhere seen At that time the Kings Arguments concerning several matters did so much work upon him that at his return to London he sided with that party in the House that voted that the Kings Answers to the Propositions were a firm ground for them to proceed upon for a Peace After the King's death he altogether sided with the Independents as before he had done with the Presbyterians became great with Oliver who made him one of the other House that is House of Lords After the restauration of K. Ch. 2. at what time he had acted as a grand Rebell for his own ends almost 20 years he was rewarded forsooth with the honorable Office of Lord Privy Seal while others that had suffered in estate and body and had been reduced to a bit of bread for his Maj. cause had then little or nothing given to relieve them for which they were to thank a hungry and great Officer who to fill his own Coffers was the occasion of the utter ruin of many A person of the Lord Say's persuasion who had run with the times as he did purposely to raise a family saith that he was a person of great parts wisdom and integrity and another who was taken to be a Puritan in his time tells us that Say and Sele was a seriously subtil piece and always averse to the Court ways something out of pertinaciousness his temper and constitution ballancing him altogether on that side which was contrary to the wind so that he seldom tack'd about or went upright though he kept his course steady in his way a long time c. As for the things that he hath published the titles of them are these Several Speeches as 1 Two Speeches in Parliament One upon the Bill against the Bishops and the other touching the Liturgy of the Church of Engl Lond. 1641. in two sh in quart 2 Sp. in the Guildhall London 27 Oct. 1642. Lond. 1642. qu. This was spoken just after Edghill Fight to encourage the Citizens to raise more money to carry on the War At which time also were very earnest in their Speeches for that purpose Philip Lord Wharton Philip Earl of Pembroke Henry Earl of Holland and Will. Strâ—de one of the 5 Members 3 Speech in Parliament against the Supremacy of the Bishops and their power in civil Affairs Lond. 1642. qu. This with the former against the Bishops were much applauded among the patriotical Party whose sense they spoke out to the full and were the core of the Canker bred in them against the Church These Speeches also did the Clergy take to be their chief reason of their several years of Persecution that followed and why they were banished from their Livings for fear forsooth they should preach the People then in a great manner deceived into obedience to the King After the War was ceased and no Malignants there were as he called the Cavaliers to oppose him he shew'd himself an Enemy to the Quakers with whom he was much troubled at or near Broughton and thereupon wrot certain books against them as I shall tell you by and by The Scots designe discovered relating their dangerous attempts lately practised against the English Nation with the sad consequence of the same Wherein divers matters of publick concernment are disclosed and the book called Truths manifest is made apparent to be Lies manifest Lond. 1653 qu. This is usually called Vindiciae veritatis or an Answer to a Discourse intit Truth it 's manifest c. Folly and madness made manifest Or Some things written to shew how contrary to the word of God and practice of the Saints in the Old and New Testament the doctrines and practices of the Quakers are c. Oxon. 1659. qu. This I think was printed before The Quakers reply manifested to be rayling or a pursuance of those by the light of the Scriptures who through their dark imaginations would evade the truth c. Oxon. 1659 60. qu. and other things which I have not yet seen At length this noble Author after he had spent 80 years mostly in an unquiet and discontented condition had been a grand promoter of the Rebellion which began in 1642 did die quietly in his bed but whether in conscience I cannot tell on the fourteenth day of April in sixteen hundred sixty and two whereupon his body was buried in Broughton Church among the graves of his Ancestors and had over it soon after a rich and costly monument erected more befitting a Hero than a Rebell He left behind him several sons living at the time of his death among whom James his eldest son was one who succeeding him in his Honours was made L. Lieutenant of Oxfordshire having always been reputed an honest Cavalier and a quiet man Nathaniel the second son whom I shall mention elsewhere c. ROBERT SIBTHORPE was initiated in Academical Learning in Linc. Coll. as it seems but leaving the University
should crown his beginnings But Sir Geor. party being dispers'd in Aug. 1659 in the County of Chester where he first appeared the Rump Beagles did trace the scent of the Abettors of that rising so closely that Sir Anth. being shrewdly suspected to have a most considerable hand in it and to have kept intelligence with the King then in exile was publickly accused of it in the Rump Parliament then sitting So that being called to the bar of the House he made answer so dexterously to their objections that he stopt the mouthes of his Accusers and most of the Members having a great opinion of his fidelity did then dismiss him After this he perceiving full well that in short time Monarchy would be restored he studied all the ways imaginable especially when it could not be hindred to promote it He corresponded with Monk then in Scotland when he took discontent that the Rump Parliament which was invited to sit again by the Army on the 6. of May 1659 was thrust out of doors on the 13 of Oct. following So that he being very forward in that affair he was on the 2 of Jan. following the Rump having been a little before readmitted to sit nominated one of the Council of State and about 9 days after had the Regiment of Horse then very lately belonging to Charles Fleetwood commonly called the Lord Fleetwood given to him to be Colonel thereof Soon after Monks coming to Westminster he became very great with him and was for his sake not only made Governour of the Isle of Wight but one of the Council of State by the Rump and secluded members then newly added to them on the 16. of March 1659 on which day they dissolved themselves In the beginning of 1660 he was chosen one of the Knights of Wilts to serve in that Parliament called the Healing Parliament began at Westm 25. of Apr. the same year at which time the authority of the Council of State ceased In the latter end of May following he went with General George Monk to Dover to meet the King then about to take possession of his Kingdoms after 12 years absence thence The next day being May 26 he was sworn a Privy Counsellour to his Majesty being at that time at Canterbury in his way to London to be received by his Subjects there at which time Sir Anthony took one or more Oathes In the beginning of Oct. following when his Majesty was pleased to issue out the grand commission of Oyer and Terminer for the Trial of the Regicides directed to several noble persons choice was made of Sir Anthony to be one So that he sitting upon the Bench first at Hicks-hall and afterwards at the Old Baylie with others that had been deeply engaged in the then late grand rebellion caused Adrian Scrope Esq one of the Regicides that then was tried to say of himself and them thus his words being directed to Sir Orl. Bridgman Lord Chief Baron of the Exchecquer the chief Judge then in that affair But my Lord I say this if I have been misled I am not a single person that have been misled My Lord I could say but I think it doth not become me to say so that I see a great many faces at this time that were misled as well as my self but that I will not insist upon c. As for the faces which he meant that then sate as Judges on him were taken at that time to be those of Sir Anthony Ash Cooper Edward Earl of Manchester Will. Visc Say and Seal John Lord Roberts Denzil Hollis Esq afterwards Lord Hollis Arthur Annesley Esq afterwards Earl of Anglesey c. But to return Sir Anth. Ash Cooper being put into the road to gain honour and riches he was in the year following on the 20. of Apr. three days before his Majesties Coronation advanced to the degree and dignity of a Baron of this Realm by the title of Lord Ashley of Wimbourne S. Giles Afterwards he was made Chancellour and Under-Treasurer of the Exchecquer in which places he was succeeded by Sir John Duncombe about the 20 of Nov. 1672 and upon the death of Thomas Earl of Southampton Lord Treasurer he was made one of the five Commissioners by his Majesty for the executing the said office on the first of June an 1667. About that time he was Lieutenant of Dorsetshire and a person in great favour with the K. and Court In Dec. 1671 he with Sir Thomas Clifford were the principal advisers of his Majesty to shut up the Exchecquer which was accordingly effected on the first of January following and in granting injunctions in the case of Bankers In the beginning of March following he with the said Sir Thomas were great promoters of the indulgence for liberty of Conscience effected also by the Kings Proclamation for that purpose dat 15. of the same month 1671 which was the source of all misfortunes that followed even to the Popish Plot an 1678. But that Indulgence or Toleration was happily annull'd by the Parliament which did begin to re-sit 4. Feb. 1672. On the 27. of Apr. 1672 he was by Letters Pat. then bearing date created Lord Cooper of Paulet and Earl of Shaftesbury and at that time tugging hard for the Lord Treasurers place his Majesty was pleased to advance him higher that is to be Lord Chancellour of England 17. Nov. the same year and on the 28 of the same month he gave the office of Lord Treasurer to the said Sir Thomas then Lord Clifford 'T is reported by a nameless author but of no great credit that when his Majesty upon an occasional hearing of this Lords Shaftesbury publick sagacity in discussing publickly some profound points did as in a rapture of admiration say that his Chancellour was as well able to vye if not out-vye all the Bishops in point of Divinity and all his Judges in point of Law and as for a Statesman the whole world in forreign Nations will be an evident witness c. Before I go any farther it must be known that altho his Majesty did publish his Declaration of War against Holland with a manifesto of its causes on the 17. of Mar. 1671 seconded by the French Kings Declaration of War by Sea and Land against the States dat 27. of the same month in pursuance of which the English and French had a sharp engagement with the Dutch 28. May 1672 off of Southwould-bay the D. of York being then Admiral yet this War was not communicated to the Parliament till they did re sit 4. Feb. 1672 In the opening of which Session I say that Shaftesbury did in a speech the next day promote and much forward the said War and enforced it moreover with a Rhetorical flourish Delenda est Carthago that a Dutch Commonwealth was too near a Neighbour to an English Monarch c. By which advice the Triple-League which had been made between us the Dutch and the Sweed in the latter end of the year
1667 at which time William Albert Count of Dona Embassador from Sweedland was here in England was broken and thereupon an alliance was made with France In which act we are to thank Henry Coventry Secretary of State for his pains if his own affirmation may be credited when he went into Sweedland 1671. In the same Session of Parliament Shaftesbury had a principal hand in promoting and establishing the Test to render Papists uncapable of publick employments And this he did as 't is thought because he perceiving the Court to be sick of him provided himself by having a hand therein with a retreat to the favour and applause of the populacy On the 9. of Nov. 1673 he being then President of his Majesties Council for trade and plantations the Great Seal was taken from him by the endeavours of James Duke of York who found him untractable and not fit according to moderation for that high place or as another tells us for his zeal and activity in promoting the Bill for the aforesaid Test and thereupon he grew much discontented and endeavoured several times to make a disturbance On the 16. of Feb. 1676 he with George Duke of Buckingham James Earl of Salisbury and Philip Lord Wharton were sentenced by the H. of Lords to be committed Prisoners to the Tower under the notion of contempt for that they refused a recantation for what the day before was spoken by them viz. that Buckingham just after the King had ended his Speech to both Houses at their then meeting endeavouring to argue from Law and reason that the long prorogation was null'd and that the Parliament was consequently dissolved was seconded by Salisbury Shaftesbury and Wharton For which reason I say and for endeavouring to raise sedition they were sent to the Tower Buckingham Salisbury and Wharton were by petition to his Majesty freed thence in the beginning of May following but Shaftesbury remained there till the beginning of Dec. next ensuing notwithstanding he before Jun. 22. an 1677 had moved for a Habeas Corpus to the Kings Bench which was granted yet the Judges declared they could not release him In Sept. 1678 upon the breaking out of the Popish Plot he became head of the factious party who making it more terrible than 't was endeavoured all ways imaginable to promote their interest thereby To stop Shaftesbury's mouth therefore and so consequently please his party his Majesty vouchsafed to constitute him Lord President of his Privy Council consisting then but of 30 21. Apr. 1679 but he shewing himself too busie and forward and little or not at all to keep pace with the Kings moderate humour he was laid aside on the 5 of Octob. following and was succeeded in that honorable office by John Lord Roberts who behaving himself much like a Gentleman was soon after created Earl of Radnor After this Shaftesbury plays his old game by recurring to the People remov'd into the City and to vent his spleen became the most bitter enemy in the H. of Lords against the Duke of York especially at that time 15. of Nov. 1680 when William Lord Russell eldest Son of William Earl of Bedford did in the head of more than 200 of the House of Commons carry up a Bill to the House of Lords for the disinheriting the said Duke of the Imperial Crown of Britaine Then and there I say he was so heated with passion being excellently well opposed in what he then said by George Earl of Halyfax that he talked almost all the time being ten of the Clock at night before they gave over But all that he then and afterwards said effecting nothing he wrot or caused to be written abusive Pamphlets and endeavoured with others by an Association to depose the King in case he and his Parliament held at Oxon in Mar. 168â— should disagree which he fully expected But his trayterous designs being discovered he was seized on in his House in London by one of his Majesties Serjeants at armes on the 2. Jul. 1681 examined by the Council the K. being then present and forthwith was committed close Prisoner to the Tower for High Treason in compassing and imagining the death of the King and endeavouring to depose him from his Crown and Dignity and to raise armes to that purpose On the 24. of Nov. following there was a Bill of indictment of High Treason against him read before his Majesties Commissioners of Oyer and Terminer in the Sessions-house in the Old Baylie London and afterwards proved by several sufficient Witnesses but the fanatical Jury pack'd on purpose by the then fanatical Sheriffs Tho. Pilkington and Sam. Shute they returned the Bill Ignoramus and so forthwith Shaftesbury was set at liberty Upon which deliverance the seditious party made Bonefires and caused a medal to be cast of which medal Dryden the Poet Laureat made a witty Poem In Octob. 1682 when Dudley North and Pet. Rich the loyal Sheriffs of London were sworn a Warrant was issued out against to apprehend him Whereupon he sculk'd for a time till an opportunity wafted him over the Seas to Holland where he remained to the time of his death He hath written divers things of which these are some The fundamental constitutions of Carolina Lond. in 7. sh in fol. These constitutions are in number 120 and at the end are eleven rules of precedence to be observed in Carolina When these constitutions were printed it appears not either in the title or at the end of the book They are dated on the first of March 1669 and so I presume they were soon after printed Several Speeches as 1 Speech at the Lord Treasurers Clifford taking his Oath in the Exchecquer 5.

Browne soon after elected L. Mayor of Lond. did accidentally meet him in the Speakers Chamber to whom I suppose he came to surrender himself upon his Maj. Proclamation and when the said R. Browne was acquainted who he was he drew up and said to him What a sad case have we brought this Kingdom unto Whereupon Scrope answer'd Why Saith Browne then Do you not see how it is ruined now the King is murthered c. To which Scrope made answer I will not make you my Confessor or words to the same effect All which being witnessed against him at his Tryal as words to justifie what he had done Browne being then L. Mayor elect were the chief Cause of his Execution otherwise as 't was then thought he would only have suffer'd perpetual imprisonment and the loss of his Estate as many others of the same Gang did He suffer'd by hanging drawing and quartering with Tho. Scot Greg. Clement and Joh. Jones at Charing Cross on the 17 of Octob. 1660 Whereupon his Quarters were not hanged up as others were but given to his Relations to be buried His death was then much pityed by many because he was a comely person beg'd the Prayers of all good people and that he was of a noble and antient family being descended from the Scropes Barons of Bolton After his death were printed under his name his Speech and Prayer spoken at the Gallows May 31.

1000 l. per an and any thing else that he desired Besides these honourable places he had 6000 l. at one time given to him by the Parliament and at another the Rectory and Demesness of Burford in Oxfordshire with a stately house there lately belonging to Lucius Viscount Falkland as the Author of the Mystery of the good old cause reports but falsly as I suppose for about the year 1634 the said Will. Lenthall did for the sum of 7000 l. or thereabouts purchase of the said Lucius the Priory house the stately house before mention'd and Land belonging thereunto descended to him from Elizabeth Dau. and Heir of Sir Laurence Tanfeild Lord Chief Baron of the Exchecquer sometimes the Wife of Henry Lord Falkland Lord Lieutenant of Ireland Father of Lucius In Aug. 1648 when there was a debate in the Parliament house whether the Treaty should be with the King in the Isle of Wight upon the propositions of Hampton Court there were for it 57 yeas and against it 57 noes Whereupon he as Speaker turn'd the Scales to yeas which was the best thing he ever did Oliver once made a spunge of and squeez'd from him 15000 l. and turning him and his tribe the Long Parliament out of doors in 1653 after he had sate it out in all changes and resisted many storms and high complaints against him he veered about to save himself his great offices and chiefly to avoid a new encounter or frown from the present power So that he that had been so long the Belweather in the H. of Commons was thought fit for his compliance and money to be one of the Other House In 1654 he was elected one of the Knights of Oxfordshire and Burgess for the City of Glocester to serve in that Parliament called by Oliver to meet at Westm 3. of Sept. the same year of which Parliament he was chosen Speaker When that Convention call'd the Rump Parliament was invited by the Army to sit again 6 May 1659 for they had been turn'd out by Oliver in 1653 he became Speaker also as he had been before and on the 23 of the said month he was constituted and appointed Keeper of the Great Seal for the Commonwealth of England for eight days only next ensuing But that Parliament which was filled up by the members secluded thence in 1648 being dissolved on the 16 of March following he endeavoured by his Agents to be chose a Burgess for the University of Oxon to serve in that Parliament which began at Westm 25 Apr. 1660 as at one or two places besides where he had canvas'd for votes but missing his design he retired in private and endeavoured to hide or convey away the vast deluge of wealth which he had obtained as also to secure to his posterity that estate he had purchased in the name of other People But being at length to be called to an accompt for what he had done the Healing Parliament that then met resolved on the eleventh of June that he the said Will. Lenthall be one of the twenty to be excepted out of the general Act of indempnity and oblivion to suffer such pains penalties and forfeitures not extending to life as shall be thought fit to be inflicted by an Act hereafter to be made for that purpose But that Act being soon after made I find therein that if he the said Will. Lenthall should after the first of Sept. 1660 accept or exercise any office Ecclesiastical Civil or Military should to all intents and purposes in Law stand as if he had been totally excepted by name in the said Act. And well it was that he escaped so for had it not been for his money and the mercy of his Prince whereby he got a general pardon he might have been totally sequestred of his Estate and made perpetual Prisoner So that then being free he became a witness on the Kings side against Tho. Scot the Regicide when he and others of that gang were to be tried for their lives And afterwards retiring to his house at Burford before mention'd where he built a pretty Chappel joyning thereunto shewing great love to Scholars and the neighbouring Clergy we heard no more of him till the time of his death He was a Person very inconstant and wavering in his Principles of a slavish temper a taker of all Oathes whether Covenant or engagement or those to be faithful to Oliver and Richard besides what he had before done to K. James and K. Ch. 1. He minded mostly the heaping up of riches and was so besotted in raising and setling a family that he minded not the least good that might accrue to his Prince As for those things that are published under his name as either utter'd or written by him are these following Several Speeches as 1 Sp. to his Maj. in the High Court of Parl. 5.

Wilk Citizen and Goldsmith of Oxon was born at Fawlsley near to Daventry in Northamptonshire in the house of his Mothers Father Joh. Dod the Decalogist educated in Grammar Learning under Edw.

Hall under the tuition of Mr. Joh. Tombes and as a Member thereof took the degrees in Arts. Afterwards entring into holy Orders he became Chaplain to William Lord Say and afterwards to Charles Count Palatine of the Rhyne and Prince Elector of the Empire with whom he continued for some time At length upon the breaking out of the Rebellion he closed with the Presbyterians having always before been puritanically affected and took the Covenant Afterwards being designed by the Committee for the reformation of this University to be Warden of Wadham Coll he was actually created Bach. of Div. in the Pembrochian Creation 12 Apr. 1648 and the next day was put into possession of his Wardenship in the place of a loyal person then ejected The next year he was created Doct. of Div. and about that time took the Engagement that is to be faithful to the Commonwealth of England as it was then established without a King or House of Lords In 1656 or thereabouts he took to wife Robina the widow of Pet. French sometimes Canon of Ch. Ch. and sister to Oliver Cromwell Protector of England which marriage being contrary to the Statutes of Wadh. Coll. because they prohibit the Warden thereof from marrying while he is Warden he obtained a dispensation from Oliver to keep it notwithstanding Afterwards by the favour of Richard Cromwell who succeeded Oliver in the Protectorship he had the Headship of Trin. Coll. in Cambridge confer'd upon him upon the death of Dr. Jo. Arrowsmith in the beginning of 1659 which is the best preferment in that University But being ejected thence the next year about the time of his Majesties Restauration he became Preacher as it seems to the honorable Society of Greys Inn Minister of S.

72 persons Members of the House of Commons Officers of the Army and Citizens of London sate upon benches some degrees above one another as Judges Hacker I say by order of the Court which was erected in the same place where the Judges of the Kings-bench use to hear causes brought his Majesty to a velvet chair opposite to the President at which time John Cook the Sollicitor General was placed on the Kings right hand I shall pretermit the Judges names the formality of the Court and the proceedings there by way of charge as also his Majesties replies in regard all those particulars have been published at large by several writers Nor indeed was much to be observed seeing his Majesty having heard the allegations against him would sometimes smile but not acknowledge their jurisdiction or that by any known law they had any authority to proceed in that manner against the King it being without example also whereupon the Court made no farther proceedings on that day Afterwards his Majesty was conveyed to Cotton house where Sir Tho. Cotton the Master thereof and Mr. Kinnerslie of the Wardrobe did make the best accommodation they could in so short a time in the Kings Chamber The Soldiers that were upon the Guard were in the very next Chamber to that of the King which his Majesty perceiving he commanded Mr. Herbert to bring his pallet and place it on one side of the Kings bed which he did and there slept Sunday the 21. of Jan. Dr. Will. Juxon the good Bishop of London had as his Majesty desired the Liberty to attend the King which was much to his comfort and as he said no small refreshing to his spirit especially in that his uncomfortable condition The most part of that day was spent in prayer and preaching to the King Munday 22. Jan. Col. Hacker brought his Majesty the second time before the Court then sitting as formerly in Westminster Hall Now the more noble the person is the more heavy is the spectacle and inclines generous hearts to a sympathy in his sufferings Here it was otherwise for assoon as his Majesty came into the Hall some Soldiers made a hideous cry for justice justice some of the Officers joyning with them At which noise the King seemed somewhat abashed but overcame it with patience Sure to persecute a distressed soul and to vex him that is already wounded at the heart is the very pitch of wickedness yea the utmost extremity malice can do or affliction suffer as the learned Bishop of Winchester Bilson saith in one of his Sermons preached before Qu. Elizabeth upon Good Friday which was here very applicable As his Majesty returned from the Hall to Cotton house a Soldier that was upon the Guard said aloud as the King passed by God bless you Sir The King thank'd him but an uncivil Officer struck him with his cane upon the head which his Majesty observing said The punishment exceeded the offence Being come to his apartment in Cotton house he immediatly fell upon his knees and went to prayer which being done he asked Mr. Herbert if he heard the cry of the Soldiers in Westminster hall for justice he answer'd he did and marvell'd much at it So did not I said the King for I am well assur'd the Soldiers bare no malice towards me the cry was no doubt given by their Officers for whom the Soldiers would do the like if there were occasion His Majesty likewise demanded of him how many there were that sate in the Court and who they were he replied there were upward of threescore some of them members of the House of Commons others Commanders in the Army and others Citizens of London some of whom he knew but not all The King then said he viewed all of them but knew not the faces of above eight and those he named The names tho Mr. Herbert told me not yet they were generally supposed to be Thomas Lord Grey of Grobie William L. Monson Sir Henry Mildmay Sir John Danvers Oliver Cromwell who had shew'd seeming civility to him at Childerlie Newmarket and Hampton Court Major Harrison Lieut. Gen. Tho. Hammond c. Tuesday 23. Jan. The King was the third time summoned and as formerly guarded to the Court where as at other times he persisted in his judgment that they had no legal jurisdiction or authority to proceed against him Upon which Cook the Solicitor began to offer some things to the President of the Court but was gently interrupted by the King laying his staff upon the Solicitors arme the head of which being silver hapned to fall off which Mr. Herbert who as his Majesty appointed waited near his Chair stoop'd to take it up but falling on the contrary side to which he could not reach the King took it up himself This was by some looked upon as a bad Omen But whereas Mr. Herbert puts this passage under the 22 of Jan. is a mistake for it hapned on the first day of the Trial when the charge was read against the King The Court sate but a little time that day the K. not varying from his principle At his going back to Cotton house there were many men and women crouded into the passage behind the Soldiers who as his Majesty pass'd said aloud God almighty preserve your Majesty for which the King returned them thanks Saturday 27.

Ashley of Wimbourne S. Giles in Dorsetshire was born at Wimbourne on the 22. of July 1621 19. Jac. 1. became a Fellow Commoner of Exeter Coll. in Lent term 1636 under the tuition of Dr. Prideaux the Rector thereof and continued there about two years Afterwards he went to Lincolns Inn to study the municipal Law and in the latter end of 1639 he was elected one of the Burgesses for Tewksbury in Glocestershire to serve in that Parliament that began at Westm 13. Apr. 1640. In 1642 he sided with his Majesty being then as 't is said High Sherriff of Dorsetshire became Governour of Weymouth and raised some forces for his use But the mind of this person being mutable he left the royal cause went in to the Parliament and served them was made Colonel of a Regiment of Horse and took the Covenant But when the Presbyterians thought themselves sure of him whip he was gone as one saith and in a trice commenced a Brother Independent which was a wise part and no trick of a changling to shift principles like shirts and quit an unlucky side in a fright at the noise of a new prevailing party with whom he staid till he grew up to the size of a great Commonwealths man and made hay in the Sun shine until the Commonwealth and Cromwell were brought to bed of a strange new kind of Monarchy in the House of Commons a three or four hundred-headed Monarchy called The Fifth Monarchy and in those days it was also called Cromwells little Parliament in which his little Lordship became one of the Princes among a Drove of Changlings c. In 1645 he was elected Sherriff of Norfolk and the next year Sherriff of Wilts both approved of and consented to by the members of Parliament In Jan. 1651 he having before taken the Engagement he was one of those 21 persons who were appointed by Parliament to sit as a Committee to consider of the inconveniences which were in the Law c. and soon after he was chose one of the Council of State to Oliver in which high office he continued till that person was Protector In June 1653 he was constituted Knight for Wilts to serve in the said Little Parliament that began at Westm on the 4. of July the same year but therein having spied out Olivers purpose of matching to another sort of Monarchy of his own Sir Anthony then resolved like a constant steady man to his own main point to trepan his fellow members and strike in with him and lent him thereupon a helping hand towards the confounding of Fifth Monarchy to make way for a new one under the name of Protector in which seene of affairs he was made a Protectorian Privy-counsellour In Aug. 1654 he was appointed by ordinance one of the Commissioners for Wilts Dorsetshire and Pool for the ejection of such whom the Godly Party then called scandalous ignorant and insufficient Ministers and Schoolmasters and about the same time he was elected a. Burgess for Pool before mention'd and for Tewkesbury in Glocestershire to serve in that Parl. called by Oliver then Protector that began at Westm 3. of Sept. the same year At which time he aspiring to become the Protectors Son-in-Law Cromwell who well enough understood him either disdaining or not daring to take him so near into his bosome took occasion also to quit him out of his Council So that being out of such publick employs he was at leisure to make court to all private Malecontents against the Protector and wheresoever he found a sore there he rub'd hardest till the end of the Raign of Richard In 1656 he was elected a Parliament man for Wilts to serve in that convention that met at Westminster 17 of Sept. the same year and in 1658 he was elected again for that which began at the same place 27. of January In both which the friends and favourites of Sir Anthony say that he endeavoured to cross the designs of Oliver and Richard But the last being soon after laid aside Sir Anthony thought it high time of necessity to turn back to the old honest point of the compass and get in again to be thought a new man of his Majesties party To this end notwithstanding he had been nominated one of the Council of State after the deposing of Richard May 15 1659 he joyned partly with the Presbyterians and privately engaged with Sir George Booth was of the Cabal kept intelligence with him and had a party in Dorsetshire which should be ready to assist him if little success

Johns Parish within the City of Dublin on the tenth day of July an 1614 became a Fellow Commoner of Magd. Coll. in 1630 or thereabouts continued there under the tuition of a careful Tutor three years or more and having laid a sure foundation in literature to advance his knowledg in greater matters he returned to his native Country for a time In 1640 he was elected Knight for Radnorshire to serve in that Parliment which began at Westm 3. Nov. 1640 but his election being questioned Charles Price Esq then elected also was voted by the Committee of Elections to stand as more lawfully elected yet soon after he left that Parliament and followed the K. to Oxon where he sate in that called by his Majesty In the time of the rebellion our author Annesley was entrusted by both Houses of Parliament or appointed by them one of the Commissioners for the ordering and governing the affairs in Ireland an 1645 or thereabouts and became instrumental there to preserve the British and Protestant Interest Country and Garrisons from being swallowed up by Owen Oneill's barbarous Army or falling into the body of Irish hands c. Afterwards he went into England complied with the Parliament Ol. Cromwell and his party took the Oath called the Engagement as before he had the Covenant But when he saw that K. Ch. 2. would be restored to his Kingdoms he then when he perceived that it could not be hindred struck in and became instrumental for the recalling of him home as many of his perswasion did and thereupon they soothed themselves up and gave it out publickly that they were as instrumental in that matter as the best of the Royal party nay they stuck not to say that if it was not by their endeavours his Majesty would not have been restored At that time he was made a Privy Counsellour and to shew his zeal for his Majesties cause he procured himself to be put in among the number of those Justices or Judges to sit first at Hicks-hall and afterwards at the Old Bayly on the Regicides where one of them named Adrian Scrope did reflect upon him as 't was by all there present supposed and of others too as having before been misled as well as himself as I have told you in Anthony E. of Shaftsbury under the year 1682. In the year following 1661 a little before his Majesties Coronation he was by Letters Pat. bearing date on the 20 of Apr. created a Baron of this Kingdom by the title of Lord Annesley of Newport-Paynel in Bucks of which Town one Thom Annesley Great Uncle to Sir Franc. Annesley before mention'd had been High Constable as also a Count by the title of Earl of Anglesey as comming more near to his name than another place or Town Afterwards he enjoying certain Offices of trust was at length made Lord Privy Seal about the middle of Apr. 1673 and kept it till Aug. 1682 at which time he was deprived of it some have thought unjustly for several reasons as I shall anon tell you whereupon retiring to his Estate at Blechingdon in Oxfordshire which he some years before had purchased vindicated himself by writing an account of the whole proceeding of that affair as I shall tell you by and by He was a person very subtle cunning and reserv'd in the managery and transacting his affairs of more than ordinary parts and one who had the command of a very smooth sharp and keen Pen. He was also much conversant in books and a great Calvinist but his known countenance and encouragement given to persons of very different perswasions in matters of Religion hath left it somwhat difficult at least in some mens judgments peremptorily to determine among what sort of men as to point of Religion he himself ought in truth to have been ranked Yet it is to be observed that he did not dispense his favours with an equal hand to all these the dissenting party having still received the far largest share of them who did all along generally esteem him and his interest securely their own especially after the Popish Conspiracy broke out when then out of policy he avoided and shook off his numerous acquaintance of Papists as it was notoriously observed by them and of other pretenders to Politicks meerly to save themselves and to avoid the imputation of being Popishly affected As for his published writings they are these The truth unvailed in behalf the Church of England c. being a vindication of Mr. Joh.

Ormonde therefore represented the case in writing to the King on the 17 of June following which being read openly before the Council then sitting at Hampton Court his Maj. declared that he would hear the matter thereof in Council and did order that a copy of the said Representation should be delivered to Anglesey and that he appear and make answer thereunto at a Council to be holden at Whitehall on the 23 of the said month In obedience to this Anglesey tho much troubled with the Gout appeared made a short speech to his Majesty in vindication of himself bandied the matter with Ormond and then put in his answer to Ormond's representation or complaint against him These things being done another Council was held 13 July at which time Ormond delivering a paper to the Board containing several charges against him it was then

Soon after when that Parliament called the Long Parliament began which was on the 3. of Nov. the same year he was chosen an Assistant to Hen. Elsing Clark of the Commons House by which means he was privy afterwards to all circumstances in their proceedings And both Houses having confidence in they sent their addresses by him to the King then at York being forced thither by their violent proceedings And it so fell out that he rode several times with that expedition between London and that City which is 150 miles that he performed the journey in 24 hours In 1643 he took the Covenant and was a great man among the Presbyterians and being near of kin to Sir Thomas Fairfax for his father and mother were Natives of Yorkshire of antient extract he became Secretary to him when he was made Generalissimo of the Parliament Forces in which Office he obtained or at least might have so done what wealth he pleased which might had he husbanded it well have supported his necessities in his last days In 1646 when the Garrison of Oxon was besieg'd by the said Generalissimo his help was somtimes required and when the Treaty for the delivery of it up for the use of the Parliament was in agitation he was often posting to London upon intermessages and fatigues till it was concluded In 1649 he attended his Master then Lord Fairfax with several great Officers of note to the University of Oxon where being all splendidly entertain'd by the then chief Members thereof of the Presbiterian and Independent perswasion he was actually created Master of Arts and at the same time he as a Member of Queens Coll was made one of the Delegates to take into consideration the affairs then depending between the Citizens of Oxon and Members of the said University After his Lord had laid down his Commission as General he took up his quarters for some time in Linc. Inn and being in great esteem by the men of those times he was in January 1651 constituted one of the Committee to consult about the Reformation of the Common Law In 1658 he was chosen a Burges for Berwick upon Twede near to which place he had received his first breath to serve in that Parliament called Richards Parl which began at Westm 27.

Keeper of the Great Seal he was by him made his Secretary and continuing in that Office so long as his Lord kept his he was then again in a capacity of enriching himself or at least to lay up some thing for a wet day Afterwards when the Popish Plot broke out and the Presbyterians and other discontented people began to be dominant he was elected Burges for the same place to serve in that Parl. which began 6. Mar. 1678 as he was afterwards for that which commenc'd 17. Oct. 1679 and for the Oxford Parl. that followed he being then as alwaies before esteemed no great friend to the Church of England and Prelacy After the dissolution of Oxford Parliament he lived very retiredly and obscurely within the City of Westminster but at length being committed prisoner for debt to the Kings bench he finished his course there as I shall anon tell you His works are these Historical Collections of private passages of State weighty matters in Law and remarkable proceedings in five Parliaments Beginning the 16 year of K.

Halloway sometimes Fellow of New Coll and afterwards a Counsellor of the Inner Temple and a person for several years well reputed in these parts for his upright dealing in his profession To which I must add that in 1677 he was by writ called to be Serjeant at Law and in 1683 he was knighted and made one of the Justices of the Kings Bench in the place of Just Thom. Raymond In thâ— beginning of July 1688 he and Sir Joh. Powell another Just of the same Bench did receive their Quietus from K.

Dugdale to the famous Figure-flinger Will. Lilly he thereupon very readily told him that that swarm of bees did foretell that the Infant should in time prove a prodigy of industry c.

Sibley Curat at Nether Whitacre near to Shustock before mentioned with whom continuing till he came to ten years of age or more was afterwards sent to the Free-school at Coventry then presided by one James Cranford father of James Cranford mentioned among the Writers pag. 133. After he had continued in the said School till almost he was 15 years of age he was taken home by his father from whom he received instructions in reading that noted Law-book called Littletons Tenures and some others of that profession besides History In all which he soon after by his indefatigable industry became well vers'd In the latter end of 1622 his father being then grown infirm he took to him a wife and in 1625 1 Car. 1. his said father being then dead he purchased the Mannour of Blythe in the Parish of â—hustock At which place setling soon after he composed most of his Books particularly that of The Anâ—iquities of Warwickshere illustrated His natural inclination tending then chiefly to the study of Antiquities and History he was not a little encouraged thereto by one Sam.

first acquaintance about the year 1618 and with whom he afterwards many times conversed After Mr. Dugdale was setled at Blythe commonly called Blythe Hall because situated on the River Blythe he read The Description of Leycestershire written and published by Will. Burton of Lindley in that County Esquire about 8 miles distant from Blythe Hall with which being much taken and thereby encouraged to do something of that nature for Warwickshire he was introduced into his acquaintance by one Mr. Fisher Dilke of Shustock a near Kinsman of the said Burton to the end that he might receive instructions for the management and promotion of his studies Mr. Burton being very much taken with the forwardness of the young man in his most early attempts he was resolved to encourage him in his labours to the utmost of his power Whereupon he brought him into the acquaintance of Sir Sim. Archer of Vmberslade in the Parish of Tamworth in the said County of Warwick Knight who being much affected with the studies of Heraldry and Antiquities and having made very choice and considerable Collections out of divers antient Writings relating to the said County and the families thereof he did not only communicate to him what he had got together but brought him acquainted with most of the Gentlemen of note in the County These Gentlemen having perused the labours of Mr. Burton before mention'd were thereupon desirous thro Sir Sim. Archer's incitation to preserve the honor of their Families by such a work as the said Mr. Burton had done for Leycestershire and for that purpose they would as afterwards they did communicate to him the sight of their antient Deeds and Evidences Among the said Gentlemen he found none more knowing in and forward to encourage such a work than Sir Sim. Clarke of Brome Court in the Parish of Salford who with all freedom imparted to him not only divers antient Writings of consequence but also the Leiger-book of the Priory of Kenilworth from which he found copious matter as by his frequent quotation of it in The Antiquities of Warwicksh it appears The acquaintance of the said three persons Burton Clarke and Archer he endeavoured to continue with all observance imaginable especially with the last which began about 1630 but so it fell out that our Author Dugdale could not be more forward to continue than Sir S. Archer was to promote it and withall to encourage him in his great designs which did evidently afterwards appear as the sequel will tell you In Easter term 1638 Sir Simon with his Lady intended to go to London and thereupon importun'd Mr. Dugdale to accompany them in that Journey assuring him that it would be worth his labour if he could spare so much time from his beloved study This being easily assented to they had several discourses in their way for the promotion of his designs and when they were at their journeys â—nd the first matter that Sir Simon did he brought our Author Dugdale into the acquaintance of the learned Sir Hen. Spelman a person famous for his knowledge in Antiquities but then near 80 years of age This worthy Knight received him with great humanity and after some discourse and â—ight of several of his Collections relating to The Antiquities of Warwickshire he found that he was a great Proficient and had made a considerable progress in those studies and then told him that seeing he was a person so much inclined to that learning he thought him very fit to serve the King in the Office of Arms and that the most noble Thomas Earl of Arundel then Earl Marshal of England having by virtue of that great office the nomination of all such as were admitted into that Society would esteem it a good service to the publick to prefer such thereunto as were thus naturally qualified and found sedulous in those studies offering to recommend Mr. Dugdale to his Lordship for that purpose Soon after Sir Henry having acquainted his Lordship of him and his fitness for the office he was introduced into the presence of that honorable person by Sir George Gresâ—eley of Drakelow in Derbyshire Baronet who was then in London and well known to his Lordship During Mr. Dugdale's stay in London he repaired sometimes to the Lodging of Sir Hen. Spelman who among several discourses concerning their faculty he told him that one Roger Dodsworth a Gent. of Yorkshire had taken indefatigable pains in searching of Records and other antient Memorials relating to the Antiquities of that County but especially touching the foundations of Monasteries there and in the northern parts of the Realm which work he did not a little commend to the pains and care of some industrious and diligent searchers into hidden Antiquity affirming that out of his great affection thereto in his younger years he had got together the Transcripts of the foundation Charters of divers Monasteries in Norfolk and Suffolk himself being a Norfolk man much importuning Mr. Dugdale to joyn with Dodsworth in that most commendable work which by reason of his youth and forwardness to prosecute those studies might in time be brought to some perfection as Mr. Dugdale hath informed me by his Letters adding withall that he the said Mr. Dugd. did readily incline and within few days following casually meeting with Mr. Dodsworth in the Lodgings of Mr. Sam. Roper at Linc. Inn and acquainting each other what they were then in hand with as to their farther progress in those studies they readily engaged themselves to prosecute what Transcripts they could from any Leiger books publick Records original Charters or other Manuscripts of note in order thereto but still with this reservation that Mr. Dugdale should not neglect his Collections touching The Antiq. of Warwickshire wherein he had by that time made a considerable progress During his stay in London he became acquainted with one Rich. Gascoignâ— a Yorkshire Gentleman who also stood much affected to those studies especially as to matter of Pedigree wherein he had taken some pains for divers northern Families especially for that noble and antient Family of Wentworth And having great interest with Sir Christop Hatton of Kirby in the County of Northampton Knight of the Bath afterwards created Lord Hatton a person highly affected to Antiquities and who had not spared for any charge in obtaining sundry choice Collections from publick Records Leiger books and antient Charters and divers old MSS he brought him to that most worthy person then lodging in an Apothecaries housâ— without Temple-bar by whom he was welcomed with all expressions of kindness and readiness in furthering his studies In order thereunto he soon after brought him acquainted with his near Kinsman Sir Tho. Fanshaw at that time the Kings Remembrancer in the Exchequer By reason of which great Office he had the custody of divers Leiger-books and other choice Manuscripts especially that notable Record called the Red book as also Testa de Nevill Kerby's Quest Nomina Villarum and others to all which by his

High Sheriff Deputy Lieutenant and Knight for the Shire in several Parliaments most loyally and courageously take up arms with three of his sons raised three Regiments of Horse and two of Dragoons and of Foot upon his sole charge in defence of his Maj.

He was then a Colonel of Horse and soon after was made Governour of Taunton and continued there till remanded Upon the declining of the Kings Cause he was not admitted to his composition as others were tho comprized within the Articles of Exeter upon the surrender of that City to the Powers at that time prevailing and the reason was because they thirsted not only after his large Estate but conspired also to take away his life He endured in those times of affliction long and tedious Imprisonments in the Press-yard in Newgate and other Goales and after in the Tower of London And did with admirable Wisdom and Courage approve himself an eminent Assertor of the Laws and Liberties of the Kingdom by making such a defence in their several bloody Tribunals viz. at their Vpper Bench bar and High Court of Justice as that he put to silence those bold Judges who sate there with design to take away his life And tho he was reduced to the greatest want and misery which his severe opposers by sale of his Lands cutting down his Woods and demolishing the principal Seat of his family at Cotholstone could bring upon him yet by the subsistance which his aged Mother the Lady Elizabeth Griffin afforded him which was all he had he most chearfully underwent the same lived to see the happy restauration of K. Ch. 2 and to be again elected one of the Knights for the County of Somerset to sit in that Parl. which began at Westm 8 May 1661.

Lloyd M. A. pag. 148. 149 c. Nov. 18. Thom. Bird a Captain in the Kings Army and about this time Governour of Eccleshal in Staffordshire was then actually created After his Majesties restauration he became one of the Masters in ordinary of the High Court of Chancery and on the 12 of May 1661 he received the honor of Knighthood from his Majesty Jan. 31. Sir Rich. Lane Knight Lord chief Baron of the Exchecquer was then actually created Doctor of the Civ Law with more than ordinary ceremony This worthy person who was the Son of Rich. 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. Lane who was an eminent Professor of the Law hath written Reports in the Court of Exchecquer beginning in the third and ending in then ninth of K James 1. Lond. 1657 fol. On the 29 of Jan. 1657 the Great Seal was delivered by his Majesty at Bruges in Flanders to Sir Edw. Hyde Knight Sir John Glanvill Kt Serjeant at Law was created the same day Jan. 31. and admitted in the house of Congregation and Convocation as Sir Rich. Lane was This Sir John was a younger Son of John Glanvill of Tavistock in Devonshire one of the Justices of the Common Bench who died 27 July 1600 and he the third Son of another John of the same place where and in that County their name was gentile and antient When he was young he was not educated in this University but was as his Father before him bred an Attorney and afterwards studied the Common Law in Lincolns Inn and with the help of his Fathers notes became a great proficient When he was a Counsellour of some years standing he was elected Recorder of Plymouth and Burgess for that place to serve in several Parliaments In the 5. of Char. 1. he was Lent Reader of his Inn and on the 20 of May 1639 he was made Serjeant at Law at which time having engaged himself to be a better Servant to the King than formerly for in several Parliaments he had been an enemy to the Prerogative he was in the year following elected Speaker for that Parliament which began at Westm on the 13 of April in which he shew'd himself active to promote the Kings desires On the 6 of July the same year he
dignified with the Deanery of Durham which he held a few months and afterwards of S. Pauls which he enjoyed three years tho either of them too short a season yet discharged both with singular care and fidelity living and dying a Batchellour and strictly chast and sanctimonious both in soul and body And being much debilirated by a long and lingring consumption here he rests in the Lord and deposits his last remains among those ruinous ones of S. Pauls Church being confident of the resurrection both of the one and other He died in the 53 year of his age and of our Lord 1664. Reader if thou desirest to know more of this reverend Church-man go home and learn by the conspicuous copy of his sincere devotion what it is to be a true Christian indeed After his death succeeded in the Deanery of S. Pauls Dr. Will. Sancroft Dean of York in Oct. or thereabouts in 1664. Doct. of Law Apr. 16. Colonel Will. Legge Governour of the Garrison of Oxford He was afterwards one of the Grooms of the Bedchamber to K. Ch. 1. and 2. Apr. 16.

Colonel Will. Leighton who hath this character given of him in the publick register fide fortitudine pro Principe pro Patria insignis was actually created with due solemnity on that day in Convocation He was descended from or at least near of kin to Sir Will. Leighton Kt an excellent Musitian author of a Poetical piece entit Vertue triumphant or a lively description of the four Cardinal vertues Published in 1603 and dedic to K. Jam. 1. See more of him in the first vol. p. 342. Nov. 28. Sir Thomas Gemham Kt sometimes a Gent. Com. of Trin. Coll. in this University now Governour of the Garrison of Oxford was actually created in the House of Convocation with very great solemnity At which time the Vicechancellour spoke a short and pithy speech to the assembly before he was presented shewing to them the holiness of his life and conversation the invincibleness of him and his party at York and Carlile of which Cities he was successively Governour and tho brought to famine and pestilence yet yielded neither but upon honourable conditions c. This right valiant and prudent commander was the Son of Sir Hen. Glemham of Little Glemham in Suffolk Kt by Anne his Wife eldest Daugh of Sir Thomas Sackvile Knight Earl of Dorset and after he had thrown off his gown betook himself to the German Wars then the great nursery for English Gentlemen where gaining much experience was made fit for the service in the Wars at home In 1639 he was a Lieutenant Col. in the regiment of the Earl of Arundell in the Scotch expedition then undertaken as also in the next if I am not mistaken that was took in the year following Afterwards taking part with his Majesty against his rebellious Subjects in England did him admirable service in the Garrisons before mention'd and was highly venerated by all military Men. When he died I cannot justly say sure I am that by his last Will and Test dated 22. Jan. 1647 and proved 13 Mar. 1649 he appointed his younger Brother Dr. Hen. Glemham his Executor who caused his body to be buried at Little Glemham before mention'd as I have been enformed by some of his relations Doct. of Phys May 6. Adrian Metcalfe Bach. of Phys was then created Doct. of that faculty In 1642 Nov. 1. he was actually created M. of Arts and perhaps is the same but mistaken by the Registrary with Franc. Metcalf created Bach. of Phys an 1643 as before 't is told you Aug. 12. the most noble ... Seymour was then actually created and admitted to give his suffrage in the house of Congregation and Convocation Whether this person be the same with Henry Lord Seymour who was created M. of A. an 1642 as I have before told you I know not nor yet to the contrary but that he may be Robert Seymour another Son of William Marquess of Hertford who became a Noble man of Christ Church an 1635. aged eleven years Oct. 30. Edward Buckoake Bach. of Phys was created Doctor by vertue of the Chancellours letters which say that his Majesty hath thought him worthy to serve his Highness Prince Charles in the place of Physitian and therefore that he might be the more capable of that honour he desires that the Convocation would confer on him the honour of Doctor of Physick c. He was afterwards a Physitian of some note in Yorkshire Doct. of Div. July 10. Edward Aylmer or Elmer M. A. of Queens Coll. in Cambridge was created D. D. by vertue of the Letters from the Chanc. of the University and Prince Rupert This person who was Grandson to John Aylmer or Elmer sometimes Bishop of London being forced from his station by the barbarities of the Presbyterians took refuge in Oxon and under the said Prince He had a kinsman named Joh.

Philip King was then actually created D. of D. This person who was a younger Son of Dr. John King sometimes Bishop of London was originally a Student of Ch. Ch. afterwards Orator of the University Rector of S. Botolphs Church near Billingsgate in London Prebend of S. Pauls Cathedral Church and Archdeacon of Lewes But being sequestred of S. Botolphs and forced to fly by the faction he took sanctuary at Oxon lived afterwards in a retired condition till his Majesties return at which time being restored to what he had lost lived for some time in a quiet and sedate repose At length paying his last debt to nature on the 4 of March 1666 was buried at Langley in Bucks where he had a Sister married to Sir Rich. Hobart Besides this Ph. King I find another of Cambr. who was incorporated M.
good Conscience suffer'd also by the loss of his Goods and Imprisonment and therefore retiring to Oxon was there actually created D. of D. He hath published 1 An adieu to the Duke of Glocester or a Sermon preached in a poor Parish Church Turweston or Turveston near Buckingham 23 Sept. 1660 on Eccles 3.20 Lond. 1660. qu. 2 The Cripples Complaint c. Sermon on S. Joh. 5.7 Lond. 1665. qu. He died in 1669 or thereabouts and was I suppose buried at Turveston Jun. 22. Ger. Langbaine Prov. of Qu. Coll. Jun. 22. Thomas Bravell of Magd. Coll. 23. John Croft now of Wadham Coll. He was a younger son of Sir Hen. Croft of Teddington in Bedfordshire was first a Com. of Linc. Coll afterwards Fellow of that of Allsoules M. of A. and beneficed but suffering for his Majesties Cause he retired to Oxon and was there created D. of D. as 't is here said After his Majesties restauration he was by the endeavours of William Lord Croft his brother promoted to the Deanery of Norwich in the place of Dr. Joh. Hassall some years before deceased in which being instal'd 7 Aug. 1660 sate there to the time of his death which hapning on the 27 Jul. 1670 he was buried in the Cath. Ch. at Norwich His said Brother Will. Lord Croft died either in Aug. or Sept. 1677. Will. Stutevile of Ch. Ch. who had lately done his Maj. special service in the West was actually created the same day June 23. Tristram Sugge of Wadh. Coll. was also created the same day This person who was born at Yeovill in Somersetshire had been public Metaphysick Reader and Proctor of the University Afterwards he was ejected by the Visitors in 1648 and suffer'd much in the interrupted times for his Loyalty In 1660 he was restored to his Fellowship and dying on the 27 of January in the same year was buried in the Chappel of Wadham Coll. He was esteemed by all that knew him a profound Philosopher and Divine and very fit to publish what he had written of those Subjects but since his death his papers are gotten into such hands that it is doubted whether ever they will see light Jul. 1. Edward Boughen of Ch. Ch. Aug. 13. Joh. Pottinger of New Coll the famous Master of Wykeham's School near Winchester He resigned the said Mastership soon after was succeeded by Mr. Will. Burt and died in 1659. This year it was allowed by the Members of the ven Convocation that Hen. Tozer Joh. Proctor and Baldwin Acland of Exeter Coll Rob. Barker of New Coll Rich. Washington of Vniv Coll Edm. Diggle of Magdalen and John Good of New Coll might have liberty when they pleased to be created Doctors of Divinity but they all refused then and the next year to accept of that favour At the same time also Isaac Basire and Rich. Dukeson of Cambr. Thom. Bunbury of Ball. Coll Rob. Sibthorp of Linc. Coll Will. Haywood of S. Johns Coll c. who had fled to Oxon as an Asylum and there had several times preached before his Majesty and the Members of Parliament had each a license given to them under the public Seal of the Univ. to preach the word of God throughout England This year Jun. 24 being Wednesday and Midsummer day the Garrison of Oxford was surrendred for the use of the Parliament at which time marched out in a body eastward about 3000 Soldiers besides 500 or thereabouts northward and a little before and after them five hundred more mostly Horsemen and private persons engaged in the Siege On Munday going before Prince Rupert and Pr. Maurice his brother with their attendants departed and those that followed them the next day were about 300 persons most of them of quality and their attendants When the forces belonging to the Parliament were entred who were all Presbyterians Independents or worse were among them their Chaplains of the same perswasion who forthwith upon all occasions thrust themselves into the pulpits purposely by their rascally doctrine to obtain either Proselites or to draw off from their loyal Principles and orthodox Religion the Scholars and Inhabitants Among them were Hugh Peters that diabolical Villain and Pulpit-buffoon Will. Dell Chapl. to Sir Tho Fairfax John Saltmarsh Will. Erbury c. and what they did there besides during their stay is too large a story now to tell you In Sept. following were seven Presbyterian Ministers who had formerly their education in this University appointed by Parliament sent to Oxon to preach at S. Maries and elsewhere to draw off the Scholars from their loyal principles but Edw. Corbet one of them being about that time called thence the six carried on the work yet found opposition by the Independents and other Sectaries of whom Will. Erbury was one yet all upon any occasion would joyn together to pluck down and persecute the Malignants that is Cavaliers and Royalists So that whereas before the surrender there was no place in England more loyal to their Prince orthodox and observant of the Ceremonies of the Church of England than the Scholars and the generality of the Inhabitants of Oxon were so after the entry of the said Parliamenteers there appeared nothing but confusion darkness c. Hell was broke loose upon the poor remnant and they were over-run by Sectaries Blasphemers Hypocrites Exciters to Rebellion Censurers Covetous persons men of self-pride envy and what not So that those of the Gown that could not brook such persons did either leave the University or abscond in their respective houses till they could know their doom by the approaching Visitation The Soldiery did declare their impudence so much that they forbore not to preach in some of the Pulpits and to thrust themselves into the public Schools and there in the places of Lecturers speak to the Scholars against humane learning and challenge the most learned of them to prove their Calling from Christ c. But let the restless Presbyterians be thanked for the original of all these Evils and others that followed who to fill their coffers raise families please and cherish their private lusts and endearments and nothing else care not what mischief they do or what ruin they bring upon this poor Nation so that they might obtain their own unworthy ends An. Dom. 1647. An. 23 Car. 1. Chanc. the same viz. William Marquess of Hertford c. who continuing in his office till the beginning of February Philip Earl of Pembroke and Mountgomery was about that time restored and according to an order of the Lords in Parl. dated 2 March he was desired to go to Oxford and re-take possession of his place According to which order he went in the beginning of the next year as I shall tell you by and by Vicechanc.

became a firebrand in that City and an enemy to its antient Civil Government In 1648 he was nominated one of the Kings Judges sate on the Bench when he was several times brought before them stood up as consenting when Sentence was passed for severing his head from his body and at length set his hand and seal to the Warrant for his Execution About that time he was made Keeper of the Magazines and Stores received 5000 l. to buy Arms which I think was never after accompted for In 1659 Jul. 7. he was constituted Colonel of the Militia of the said City by the Rump Parliament and was then in great favour with them but in the year after when his Maj. was restored and a Proclamation thereupon was issued out for all such persons that had sate in Judgment on K. Ch. 1. to come in he surrendred himself so that after his Trial had passed in the Sessions house in the Old Bayly he was condemned to perpetual imprisonment and his Estate confiscated What became of him afterwards I know not nor any thing else of him only that much about the time that he was created M. of Arts he got his son named Sam. Roe to be made Fellow of All 's Coll. by the Committee and Visitors May 19. Colonel William Gough or Goffe was then also presented by Zanchy and created M. A. He was the son of Stephen Goffe Rector of Stanmore in Sussex and younger brother to Joh. Goffe mention'd among the Writers an 1661 p. 171. and to Steph. Goffe mention'd in the Fasti an 1636. p. 888. While this William was a Youth and averse to all kind of Learning he was bound an Apprentice to one Vaughan a Salter in London Brother to Col. Joseph Vaughan a Parliamentarian and a zealous Presbyterian whose time being near or newly out he betook himself to be a Soldier for the righteous Cause instead of setting up his trade went out a Quartermaster of Foot and continued in the Wars till he forgot what he had fought for At length thro several military grades he became a Colonel a frequent Prayer-maker Preacher and Presser for Righteousness and Freedom which in outward shew was expressed very zealously and therefore in high esteem in the Parliament Army In 1648 he was one of the Judges of K. Ch. 1 sate in judgment when he was brought before the High Court of Justice stood up as consenting when Sentence passed upon him for his decollation and afterwards set his Hand and Seal to the Warrant for his Execution Afterwards having like his General Cromwell an evil tincture of that spirit that loved and sought after the favour and praise of man more than that of God as by woful experience in both of them it did afterwards appear he could not further believe or persevere upon that account but by degrees fell off from the antimonarcal Principles of the chief part of the Army and was the man with Col. Will. White who brought Musquetiers and turned out the Anabaptistical Members that were left behind of the Little or Barebones Parliament out of the House an 1654. Complying thus kindly with the design and interest of the said General he was by him when made Protector constituted Major General of Hampshire Sussex and Berks a place of great profit and afterwards was of one if not of two Parliaments did advance his interest greatly and was in so great esteem and favour in Oliver's Court that he was judged the only fit man to have Maj. Gen. John Lamberts place and command as Maj. General of the Army of Foot and by some to have the Protectorship setled on him in future time He being thus made so considerable a person he was taken out of the House to be a Lord and to have a negative Voice in the Other House and the rather for this reason that he never in all his life as he used several times to say fought against any such thing as a single person or a negative voice but only to pull down Charles and set up Oliver c. in which he obtained his end In 1660 a little before the restauration of K. Ch. 2 he betook himself to his heels to save his neck without any regard had to his Majesties Proclamation wandred about fearing every one that he met should slay him and was living at Lausanna in 1664 with Edm. Ludlow Edward Whaley and other Regicides when John L'isle another of that number was there by certain generous Royalists dispatch'd He afterwards lived several years in Vagabondship but when he died or where his carcass was lodged is as yet unknown to me May 19. Major John Blackmore He was a Burgess for Tiverton to serve in that Parliament call'd by Oliver which began at Westm 3 Sept. 1654. Major ..... Browne was actually created the same day This is all that appears of him in the Register otherwise had his Christian Name been set down I might have been more large upon him The aforesaid eleven Officers great favourites of Cromwell were presented in Masters Gowns on one and the same day by Zanchy before mention'd in a Convocation held by a Presbyterian Deputy Vicechancellour Presbyterian Heads and mostly Presbyterian Masters and all actually created Masters of Arts and seated in the Doctors seats Francis Buller Gent. Bach. of Arts of Cambr. was also then actually created Master but presented by an ordinary Master He was the same person as I conceive who was chose a Knight for the County of Cornwall to serve in Richards Parliament that began at Westm 27 Jan. 1658. May 21. John Rushworth of Queens Coll Secretary to Tho. Lord Fairfax was then created M. of A. and admitted to suffragate in the House of Convoc and Congreg May 21. Edward Thelwall a Capt. of Foot May 21. Hugh Courtney an Officer of note Mar. 14. .... Humphreys Gent. of kin to the Earl of Lincolne and the son of a Colonel c. In the conclusion of the aforesaid Creation May 19 were the Names of certain other Officers read to be created Masters of Arts when they were pleased to come to Oxon to be entertained Their Names were written in a paper subscribed by Fairfax and Cromwell but whether the contents of that paper were registred or that the said Officers were afterwards created it appears not Two of them who are noted to posterity for their great rudeness and impudence towards sacred Majesty I shall here set down but the others not because of little or no Name The first of these two that I shall speak of is George Joyce an Officer of note a Captain as it seems It must be now observed that when the Commissioners appointed by Parliament to treat with the King for Peace did go to him at Newcastle upon Tyne to which place the Scots had conveyed him when he committed his person to their protection near Newark upon Trent it was the pleasure of the Parl. that he and the Commissioners should be conveyed thence to his Palace at

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. March 1647 aged 64 years was buried in the Church of Bolton Percy in Yorkshire As for his Son Thomas whom we are farther to mention he was born at Denton in the Parish of Otlay in the same County in January 1611 9. Jac. 1. and was baptized at Denton on the 25 of the said month After he had spent some time in S. Johns Coll. in Cambridge to which afterwards in his latter days he was a benefactor he went beyond the Seas and spent the rest of his youth in martial discipline under the command of Horatio Lord Vere among whose forces he trailed a Pike in the Low Countries was at the considerable action of the taking of Busse in Flanders but had no command while he was there Afterwards he retired to his Fathers house and took to Wife Anne the Daughter and Coheir of the said Lord Vere by whom he had issue Mary born 3.

In the beginning of the rebellion in 1642 when his Majesty was forced to raise a Guard at York for the defence of his Person this Sir Thomas Fairfax who was entrusted by his Country to prefer a petition to his Majesty the scope whereof was to beseech him to hearken to his Parliament and not raise Forces he did accordingly deliver it but his Majesty refusing it as a Parliamentarian Writer tells us he press'd it with that instance and intention following the King so close therewith in the Field call'd Heyworth-moor in the presence of near a hundred thousand People of the County the like appearance was ever hardly seen in Yorkshire that he at last did tender the same upon the pomel of his saddle But finding no propitiatory as the said author tells us and seeing a War could not be avoided he early paid the vows of his martial education and as soon as the unhappy troubles brake forth he took a Commission under his Father Ferdinando before mention'd whose timely appearance and performances for the Rebels in the North deserves a story of it self He had not served the Parliament in lower commands long but that the great Masters at Westminster did vote him their General 31. 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
