what may we not after expect To pass times intervening the present shews it hopefully 1. In our illustrious Chancellor James Duke of Ormond now the fourth time Lord Liuetenant of Ireland He was first our Chancellor of this Uniuersity and after by that famous University of Oxford ambitiously sought for and now of both together Chancellor 2. You have seen the late Vice Chancellor the learned Prelat whose memory is at present before us principally 3. You have a prudent careful and learned President and Governor second to none if equalled by any before for government and parts answerable 4. And as to the present stock of Fellows and other Graduates and Schollars these for Learning and Ingenuity their number and standing considered not needing to give place to any envied they may be but not neglected And wherefore all this All said in this is intended as an inducement to all well affected to Piety and Learning among us to promote and encourage such happy beginnings We may hear those Sons of Prophets now say as did those sometimes to Elisha Behold the place where we dwell is too strait for us let us go therefore over Jordan and take every man a beam and let us make us a place where to dwell In order whereunto let it be remembred That the Army in Queen Elizabeth's time an 1601 after the overthrow of the Enemy at Knisale that being the shutting up of that War contributed l. 1800 towards the beginning of a Library till then here wanting for which end Doctor Chaloner the industrious promoter of the building of this Colledge by exhorting others and himself withal thereunto contributing Also that learned Person after Primat Usher of whom so much hath been now spoken were both chosen and sent into England with that money given by the Army for choosing and buying books accordingly These then met at London Sr. Thomas Bodley on the like work for his Library at Oxford each helping the other in what was in that to be done so as Sr. Thomas Bodleys Famous Library in Oxford and ours here began together And herein this our Library owes it self to our soldiery learning by Arms promoted This was seconded an 1656 by that Army in Ireland commanded then by Henry Cromwel let not what may be good be forgotten but the good be gathered into Vessels while what is bad is cast away then did that Army on the perclose of their work in Ireland as to the Rebellion there contribute about l 2200 for purchasing learned Primat Ushers Library which being then in England it was by that great Cardinal of France eyed and by the French Embassador in England pressed for earnestly for other ends to be by them purchased at a greater summ then was here given Hereby was that pretious Stock of Learning preserved for Ireland whither it was after brought And by his Grace the Duke of Ormond then Lord Lieutenant and Chancellor of this University was An. 1661 ordered to be laid up in this Colledge as an addition to the Library here where now it is And now pursuant to both those let there be a place left for this present Army also on this their great and general settlement they therein gathering the fruits of their Labors and that more abundantly than ever had been in Ireland before this time Let it not be said that those other have done so much and these nothing This is what hath been of old accustomed that out of spoils in War some part should be dedicated to God as an acknowledgement of his hand in that work so did Samuel the seer and Saul the Son of Kish and Abner the Son of Ner and Joab the Son of Zerviah David also the King and the chief Fathers and Captains over thousands and hundreds and Captains of the Host we find the very Sums also recorded which besides that of the spoils had been by them of their own store so offered together with the satisfaction and comfort received by them in such their beneficence that the people rejoyced for that they offerred willingly to the Lord and David the King also rejoyced with great joy blessing the Lord for giving them a heart so to do And what in this Kind is said to one is said to all That all consider the occasion offered the enlarging this place for Learning and Religion in which all are concerned by which a general Blessing may be expected this work carrying in its self a blessing to Church and State Pardon this Digression which I desire may be to that end for which it was intended prevailing As to this great prelat to whom I now again return We have seen him at the highest that this Church of Ireland could raise him see him now as to his Qualifications thereunto In him appears what the great Apostle St. Paul wishes for and requires in a Bishop that he be blameless hospitable sober a lover of good Men just holy holding fast the Faith Orthodox these I but name only without further application as to him who may rather seem to be in that named or pointed at as by his just and owned Character Add his Learning a fit application for such His parts were more in substance then shew ordinarily His value was much intrinsick not overlaid and set forth for ostentation He was a vessel full of rich liquor which must be pierced if tasted and then found Fragrant pleasing and refreshing I was at his Table with others when a point of Learning passing from hand to hand he for a time hearing and silent at length the matter was by himself taken up with variety of learning and reading and determined to admiration so as a learned prelat present brake out into this expression my Lord I thank you I am now here both Fed and taught I know not but his papers may afford something posthume worthy his parts and the worlds perusal This his being as to himself reserved seems to to be a natural disposition in him being of a quiet Spirit like Isaac among the Patriarks Abraham and Jacob of less noise in the World than they and as the patern to all our Lord Christ not striving nor his voice heard in the Streets seeming to be rather blamed by his friends as was our Lord also by his go said they over Jordan that thy Disciples may see the Works that thou doest for there is no man that doth any thing in secret and he himself seeketh to be known openly if thou do those things shew thy self to the World so was it with him generally I except when the Church came to be concerned Then was he up and dischared the duty of a true Prelate the Zeal of Gods House eating him up he being thereupon sometimes passionately troubled where any thing fell short of his expectation that way Careful he was of his Episcopal Charge as in what was in his own Diocess of Armagh under his ordinary care so throughout his Province that
