Term 1599 and in that of his age 17 where being put under the tuition of a noted and careful Tutor obtained great knowledge in Philosophy and the more for this reason that he was taken off from various Recreations and Rambles by a lameness in his Legs from his Cradle After he had taken a degree in Arts 1604 he became one of the Ushers of the School in the Parish of S.

Ch. removed to the Inner Temple where he made such admirable progress in the Municipal Laws and was of such eminence in his Profession in a short time that the City of London took early notice of and chose him their Recorder being also about that time Counsellor to University of Oxon.

Leo. He died in the time of Usurpation when the Church was destroyed for the sake of Religion but where or when I cannot tell After the Restauration of K. Ch. 2. one Hugh Nash M. of A. succeeded him in his Prebendship which for some years had lain void GABRIEL du GRES a Frenchman studied sometimes among the Oxonians afterwards went to Cambridge for a time as it seems and returning thence soon after taught privately for several years the French Tongue in this University His works are these Grammaticae Gallicae compendium Cantab. 1636. oct Dialogi Gallico-Anglico-Latini Oxon. 1639. 1652. and 1660. oct Regulae pronunciandi ut verborum Gallicorum Paradigmata printed with the Dialogues Life of Jean Arman du plessis Duke of Richelieu and Peer of France Lond. 1643. oct and other things as 't is probable but such I have not yet seen nor know any thing else of the Author THOMAS LYDYAT the son of Christop Lydyat Lord of the Mannour of Aulkryngton commonly called Okerton near Banbury in Oxfordshire and Citizen of London was born at Okerton in the beginning of the year 1572 and having pregnant parts while a youth was by the endeavours of his Father elected one of the number of the Children of Wykeham's Coll. near Winchester at about 13 years of age where being soon ripened in Grammaticals was elected Probationer Fellow of New Coll. 1591. At which time being under the tuition of Dr. afterwards Sir Hen. Marten made great proficiency in Logicals and two years after was admitted verus Socius After he had taken the degrees in Arts he studied Astronomy Mathematicks the Tongues and Divinity in the last of which he had an eager desire to continue and improve himself but finding a great defect in his Memory and Utterance of which he often complained particularly to Dr. Bancroft Bishop of Oxon his Diocesan in his Epistle dedicatory to him of a Sermon preached at a Visitation while he was a rural Dean made choice rather to quit his place in the Coll. for the statutes thereof oblig'd him to Divinity and live upon that small patrimony he had than to follow and prosecute the said study of Divinity What farther I have to observe of him is 1 That the seven years next ensuing after he had left his Fellowship of New Coll. which was 1603. he spent in the finishing and setting forth such books that he had begun in the College especially that De emendatione temporum dedicated to Pr. Henry to whom he was Chronographer and Cosmographer Which Prince being solely given up to all vertue did gratiously accept of it and had so great a respect for the Author that had he lived he would have done great matters for him but dying in the flower of his youth the hopes of our Author were interr'd with that Prince in his grave 2 That at the end of those seven years Dr. Usher afterwards Archbishop of Armagh being in London found him out and had him with him into Ireland where he continued in the Coll. near Dublin about two years At the end of which he purposing to return for England the Lord Deputy and Chanc. of Ireland did upon his motion make him a joynt promise of a competent Maintenance upon his return back again thither When he came into England the Rectory of Okerton before mention'd falling void which he before had refused when Fellow of New Coll. upon the offer of it by his Father the Patron he did after several demurrs and not without much reluctancy of mind accept
of it in the year 1612. Where being setled he did not only go over the harmony of the Gospels in less than 12 years making thereon above 600 Sermons but wrot also several books and laid the foundation of others All which in due time he would have published had he not been unadvisedly engaged for the debts of one very near related to him Which debts he being unable for the present to pay having before spent his small patrimony for the printing of his books remained in the Prison call'd Bocardo in Oxon and in the Kings bench and elsewhere till such time Sir Will. Boswell a great encourager of deserving men Dr. Rob. Pink Warden of New Coll. and if I am not mistaken Dr. Usher before mention'd had laid down the debt and released him Dr. Laud also Archb. of Canterbury did give his assistance upon the desire of Sir Hen. Marten for the delivery of him from prison but Selden who was desir'd and importun'd to contribute towards refused it for no other reason as 't is thought than that his Marmora Arundeliana could not stand uncontradicted by him and that instead of a most judicious he gave him only the name of an industrious Author for his labour 3 That about that time he put up a Petition to K. Ch. 1. wherein among several things that he desired was that his Majesty would give him leave to travel into foreign parts viz. into Turkey Ethiopia or the Abasen Emperors Country to search and find Copies especially of civil and ecclesiastical Histories to be published in print or whatsoever Copies may tend to the propagation or increase of good learning And farther also whereas he had Leiger-Embassadors and Agents with his Confederates Emperors Kings and Princes of other Countries they might in his Majesties name in behalf of Mr. Lydyat and his Assigns move their Highnesses to grant the like privilege to him and his Assigns c. What the effect of this Petition was I find not however from thence his noble intentions and publick spirit may be discover'd 4 That tho he was a person of small stature yet of great parts and of a publick soul and tho a poor and contemptible Priest to look upon for so he was held by the vulgar yet he not only puzled Christop Clavius and the whole College of Mathematicians but also that great Goliah of literature Joseph Scaliger who when he was worsted by our Authors Writings tho he would never acknowledge it howbeit great men particularly the famous Usher held it for granted he betook himself unmanly to his tongue by calling him in a scornful manner a beggarly beardless and gelt Priest 5 That as he was much esteemed by learned men at home among whom were Usher before mentioned Sir Adam Newton Secretary and Sir Tho. Chaloner Chamberlain to Pr. Henry Dr. Jo. Bainbridge Mr. Hen. Briggs Dr. Pet. Turner c. who were his great acquaintance so was he by the Virtuosi beyond the seas who were pleased and that worthily to rank him with the Lord Bacon of Verulam and Mr. Joseph Mede But when they heard that our Author and the said Mede were very poorly prefer'd they answer'd that the Englishmen deserved not to have such brave scholars among since they made no more of them 6. That in the civil War which began an 1642 he suffer'd much at his Rectory of Okerton before mention'd by the Parliament Party for in a letter written by him to Sir William Compton Kt. Governour of Banbury Castle dat 10 Dec. 1644 I find that he had been four times pillaged by the Parliament Forces of Compton house commonly called Compton in the hole in Warwickshire to the value of at least 70 l. and forced for a quarter of a year together to borrow a shirt to shift himself that also he had been twice carried away from his house once to Warwick and another time to Banbury To the first of which places being hurried away on a poor jade was infamously used by the Soldiers there and so sorely hurt that he was at the writing of the said letter not throughly whole and he doubted scarce ever should be c. The cause of all which ill usage was for that he had denied them money and had defended his books and papers and afterwards while a Prisoner in Warwick Castle had spoken much for the King and Bishops His Works are these Tractatus de variis annorum formis Lond. 1605. oct Praelectio Astronomica de naturâ caeli conditionibus elementorum Disquisitio physiologica de origine fontium The two last were printed and go always with the first Defensio tractatûs de variis annorum formis contra Josephi Scaligeri obtrectationem Lond. 1607. oct Examen Canonum Chronologiae Isagogicorum Printed with the Defensio Emendatio temporum ab initio mundi huc usque compendio facta contra Scaligerum alios Lond. 1609. oct Explicatio additamentum argumentorum in libello emendationis temporum compendio factae de nativitate Christi ministerio in terris Printed 1613. oct Solis Lunae periodus seu annus magnus Lond. 1620. oct c.

out that after the turn of the times it was by his means stocked with such a factious and fanatical Crew that all endeavours could not reform it nor ever as 't is thought will it continuing so to this day In 1643 he was chosen one of the Assembly of Divines took the Covenant and sitting often with them at Westminster shewed himself one of the most learned and moderate among them and soon after did by order not only succeed Dr. Featley in the Rectory of Lambeth in Surrey ejected thence but had his library conferred on him to keep and enjoy it till such time Dr. Featley could get back our Authors from the Soldiers under Prince Rupert When the broils of the Nation were over he repaired to Dorchester and in Nov. 1647 was designed Warden of New Coll. upon the death of Dr. Pink by Will Lord Say and Nath. Fiennes his son but if I am not mistaken he refused that office He was a person of great gravity and presence and had always influence on the puritannical Party near to and remote from him who bore him more respect than they did to their Diocesan His works are these Commentary on the three first Chapters of Genesis with large Observations on the same Lond. 1656. 57. fol.

White Bishop of Ely and a publisher of several books born at S. Neots in Huntingdonshire bred in Caies Coll. in Cambridge and afterwards became Vicar of Eccles in Lancashire Whence after he had continued some years he was brought into Suffolk by Sir John Crofts who bestowed on him the best Living that he had to give He sent for him unknown from Eccles where he lived in those distresses which he was never able to look through He furnished him with books fit for his studies he honoured and countenanced him so much that all the Country was satisfied he had a love and respect for him He wrot a book called The way to the true Church and A defence of it against the two books that Joh.

W. intit Orthodox faith and way to the Church explained c. Lond. 1617. qu. In the last will and test of the said John White without date I find these things said of himself Whereas for 20 years past by preaching and writing published in two books I engaged my self against Papistry I profess I have done therein nothing against my Conscience but desire all men to assure themselves that if any error hath escaped me it hath passed me through oversight when I always bended my self to that work of writing with much humility to God and such diligence as I was able to use And having the books always by me I writ nothing but what I found in antiquity and in the writings publickly receiv'd in the Church of Rome it self and I constantly avouch that what I have writ is the truth and have been the more confirmed therein by the unconscionable behaviour of my Adversaries against me c. This Will was proved 21 Feb. 1619 being two or more years after his death at which time he was Chaplain in ordinary to the King and his Father living after he had spent 50 years in preaching the word of God EDWARD HERBERT son of Rich.

Mountague to Norwych had restitution made to him of the Temporalities of that See on the 12 of June the same year which Church of Petworth he kept I presume for some time in commendam with his See In 1641 he was translated to Salisbury in the place of Dr. Jo. Davenant who died on the 20 of Apr. the same year but soon after Episcopacy being silenced by the Long Parliament which the Presbyterians called The blessed Parliam when a prevalent party therein turned the Nation topsie turvey he retired to Oxon for a time to wait on his Majesty and the Prince and left not the former till his last days After his Maj. was beheaded this our worthy Author and Bishop retired to Richmond in Surrey where spending most of his time in great devotion and solitude till the happy Restauration of King Ch. 2. an 1660 was translated to Winchester on the 24 of Sept. the same year to the great joy and comfort of many Lords and Gentlemen as well as the reverend Clergy who all had a deep sense and memory of his Prudence and Piety owing then a lasting tribute not only for his great example of vertue and godliness but for those excellent seeds and principles so happily laid in the youth of the then Sovereign Lord the King About that time he was made Lord Almoner and began that conspicuous monument of his charity an Almshouse at the said place of Richmond He was a man of excellent parts and every way qualified for his Function especially as to the comeliness of his person and gracefulness of his deportment which rendred him worthy the service of a Court and every way fit to stand before Princes He was beloved of K.

'T is said by some particularly the Bookseller that printed The Church Hist of Scotland pen'd by Dr. Joh. Spotswood Archb. of S. Andrews and printed at Lond. 1654. fol. c. that he Dr. Duppa did write The life of the said Archbishop which stands and is put before the said History But the Reader is to know that the person who wrot the Preface to the said History saith that the said life was pen'd by a reverend person of that Nation meaning Scotland So that if it be
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.

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.

Johns Coll. but in what condition he lived there whether in that of a Servitour Batler or Commoner I cannot yet find At the same time Dr. Will. Laud presiding that house he had a very great affection for him especially for the pregnant parts that were visible in him but then having a broad or large mole upon his left cheek which some esteemed a deformity that worthy Doctor would often tell him that he was an unfit Person to take the sacred function upon him and should never have his consent so to do Afterwards leaving this University without a degree he went to Cambridge where I presume he took those in Arts so that soon after entring into holy Orders he became a Minister of God's word in or near to S. Albans in Hertfordshire But being then unsetled in his mind he changed his Religion for that of
severe Puritans and under a puritanical discipline And being esteemed a plain honest man a Person of great integrity and profound in the Law he was entertained by both as well loyal as Presbyterian parties In 1643 he took the Covenant and as I have been often informed he appeared several times with other Lay-persons among the Assembly of Divines He was then in great esteem with the Parliament and was employed by the members thereof as to his counsel about several matters particularly in the reducing the Garrison of Oxford to their service who as a Lawyer was added to the Commissioners appointed by them to treat with those appointed by the King And in that capacity he did good service by advising them especially Fairfax the Generalissimo to have in his eye a preservation of that place Oxon so famous for learning from ruin Afterwards tho the loss of the blessed K.

Jan. the same year and in Ap. 1660 he was elected one of the Knights for Glocestershire to serve in that Parliament called the Healing and blessed Parliament which began at the same place on the 25 of the said month Which Parliament calling the King home from his Exile he was soon after made Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer and Knighted In the month of May 1671 he was upon the death of Sir John Keeling advanced to the place of L.

By the way it must be known that our author in the said Preface doth shew himself a great disliker of the common way of the first studying of Physick in the Universities and seems also to run down University promotions or degrees calling them in derision the doctoral confederates the scholastic family of a fine breed who come to town with the learned Cushion Cap and Scarlet The Apothecaries boys are able to tutour them in Town-practice They vaunt and make a noise with their anatomical rattle spend much time in Anatomy neglect the chymical way c.

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
came out in which he reflected on the falseness of it as 't was also in a smart and ingenious answer to it pen'd by John Northleigh of Exeter Coll. Besides also I conceive that scarcely any body besides Shaftesbury would have adventured on such insolent and bold arraignments of some chief Ministers of State not sparing the Government it self He also made the little short Speech intit The Earl of Essex's Speech at the delivery of the petition to the King 25. of Jan. 1680 which petition was that the King would change his mind from the setting of the Parl. at Oxon to be at Westminster Answer'd in a letter sent to him by Anon. in half a sh in fol. as big as the speech and petition He was also deeply supposed to have written A vindication of the Association which was seized on in the hands of his servant Stringer as he was going to the Press with it in the beginning of Dec. 1682 who being examined about it confessed that it was written by Rob. Ferguson a Nonconformist Minister author of as he added The second part of the growth of Popery Whereupon soon after a Messenger was sent to Brill in Holland to demand the body of him the said Ferguson and of Shaftesbury but the States refused so to do as the common Letters dat 13 January following told us Much about the same time I was informed by Letters also that since the said Earls retirement to Amsterdam he printed and published a book there in which he endeavoured to free himself from all cause of Jealousie and aspersions cast on him upon which a back friend of his immediatly dispers'd a satyrical reply in opposition thereunto Which coming early to his Lordships hands he printed a second book justifying the validity of the first but he did so much confound himself therein that the States had then a jealousie that he came among them for some other intent than barely his Majesties displeasure with him At length dying at Amsterdam of the Gout on the 21. of January in sixteen hundred eighty and two his body was conveyed into England and buried at Wimbourne S. Giles in Dorsetshire beforemention'd What Epitaph there is over his grave I know not and therefore in its place take this character of him given by a most ingenious author For close designs and crooked counsels fit Sagacious bold and turbulent of wit Restless unfixt in principles and place In power unpleas'd impatient of disgrace c. In friendship false implacable in hate Resolv'd to ruin or to rule the State c.

Hunt who tho no Oxford man by education yet having been famous in his generation among certain schismatical persons for several things that he hath written and published I shall therefore give you these brief memoirs of him viz. That he was born in London in the Augustine Friers as I conceive near the Old Exchange was first Scholar then Fellow and Master of Arts of Queens Coll. in Cambridge where he was esteemed a person of quick parts and of a ready fluence in discourse but withall too pert and forward Thence he went to Greys Inn where before he had been entred a Student and making proficiency in the municipal Laws was made Barrister was had in repute for his practice and acknowledged by most persons to be a good Lawyer In 1659 he became Clerk of the Assizes of Oxford Circuit but ejected from that office at his Majesties restauration to his great loss to make room for the true owner Afterwards he lived and followed his profession at Banbury in Oxfordshire was Steward for a time to part of the Duke of Buckinghams Estate and afterwards to the Duke of Norfolk c.

Owen sometimes a petty Schoolmaster at Stokenchurch afterwards Vicar of Stadham near Watlington in Oxfordshire was born in the said Town of Stadham bred in Grammar learning mostly under Edw. Sylvester who taught School for many years in Allsaintes Parish in Oxon entred a Student in Queens Coll. in 1628 instructed in Logic and Philosophy by Tho. Barlow Fellow thereof and took the degrees in Arts that of Master being taken and compleated in 1635 at which time as the cumstom and statute is he swore allegiance and fidelity to the King his heirs and lawful successors Which Oath is taken by all who take but one degree And this for one is to be noted of all such whom I have and shall mention in this Work About the same time he entred into holy Orders and when made Priest swore canonical Obedience to the Bishop his Diocesan Afterwards he became Chaplain to Sir Rob. Dormer of Ascot in the Parish of Great Milton near the place of his nativity where he served and did all things requisite to his Office according to the Church of England and taught also the eldest son of the said Knight About that time he became Chaplain to John L. Lovelace of Hurley in Berkshire where continuing till the turn of the times he sided then with the rebellious rout preached against Bishops and their Courts Common Prayer Book Ceremonies c. Afterwards he was made Minister of Fordham in Essex took the Covenant became Pastor of factious Coggeshall in the same County where lately that noted Presbyterian Ob. Sedgwick had held forth But then he perfectly beholding that the Independents grew prevalent he changed his mind adhered to them and endeavoured to ruin the Presbyterians He violated all Oathes as of canonical Obedience Solemne League and Covenant c. and being a man of parts was more enabled to do greater mischief by them especially in preaching up Sectarisme as he did ever and anon wheresoever he came By the doing of these things he became endeared to Ol. Cromwell who had him ever after in great respect and in some things relied on his Council In the latter end of 1648 when K. Ch. 1. was beheaded he in his discourses and Sermons applauded the Regicides and declared the death of that most admirable King to be just and righteous preached against K. Ch. 2. and against all the Loyal party In 1649 June 7. was a Thanksgiving by the Parliament Officers of the Army Lord Mayor and Citizens at Ch. Ch. in London for Cromwells victory over the Levellers at which time Tho. Goodwin and this our author Owen who had about that time taken the Engament preached to them out of the Politicks and on the day after a Committee was appointed to consider how to prefer those two Preachers to be Heads of Colleges in this University as a reward for asserting the late proceedings of Parliament and Cromwell upon the aforesaid Thanksgiving day It was not then thought fit that such men should serve God for nothing In the times of S. Peter and S. Paul Godliness was great gain but in the days of the late Saints Gain was great godliness On the 17. Sept. 1650 it was ordered by the Parliament according to the desire of Ol. Cromwell then General of the forces that he and Joseph Caryl should go into Scotland and on the 18 of March following it was ordered by them that he should be Dean of Ch. Ch. in Oxon. In which place being soon after setled he with Tho. Goodwin President of Madg. Coll. the two Atlases and Patriarchs of Independency did with some others who were their admirers endeavour to setle Independency in the University according to Cromwells mind but in their designs they found much opposition from the Presbyterians with whom they had several clashes concerning the promoting of their doctrine In the year 1652 he was made Vicechancellour in which Office he being then also one of the Visitors for by that time several Independents had been added to them he endeavoured to put down Habits Formalities and all Ceremony notwithstanding he before had taken an Oath to observe the Statutes and maintain the Privileges of the University but opposed in this also by the Presbyterians While he did undergo the said Office he instead of being a grave example to the University scorned all formality undervalued his office by going in quirpo like a young Scholar with powdred hair snake-bone bandstrings or bandstrings with very large tassels lawne band a large set of ribands pointed at his knees and spanish leather boots with large lawne tops and his hat mostly cockâ—d On the 10. of Dec. 1653 he the said Owen Tho. Goodwin R. Fairclough the elder Nich.

May 1677 aged 47 years was buried in the great or south cross Isle of Westm Abbey near to the monument of the learned Camden sometimes Clarenceaux K. of Armes WILLIAM PIERS son of William Piers a Haberdasher of Hats Nephew or near of kin to Dr. John Piers sometimes Archb. of York and a Native of South Hinxsey near Abendon in Berks was born in the Parish of Allsaints within the City of Oxon in Aug and baptized there on the 3. of Sept. an 1580. In 1596 he was made Student of Ch. Church and taking the degrees in Arts fell to the study of Divinity and was for a time a Preacher in and near Oxon. Afterwards being made Chaplain to Dr. King Bishop of London he was prefer'd to the Rectory of S. Christophers Church near to the Old Exchange in London and Vicaridge of Northall in Middles In 1614 he proceeded in Divinity being about that time Divinity Reader in S. Pauls Cathedral and in 1618 he was made Canon of Ch. Church and soon after Dean of Chester In 1621. 22. 23. he did undergo the office of Vicechancellour of this University wherein behaving himself very forward and too officious against such that were then called Anti-Arminians he gained the good will of Dr. Laud then a rising star in the Court and so consequently preferment In 1622 he was made Dean of Peterborough in the place of Hen. Beaumont promoted to that of Windsore and in 1630 had the Bishoprick thereof confer'd on him by the death of Dr. Tho. Dove to which being elected he had the temporalities thereof given to him on the 30 of Oct and installation on the 14 of Nov. the same year While he sate there which was but for a short time he was esteemed a man of parts knowing in Divinity and the Laws was very vigilant and active for the good both for the ecclesiastical and civil estate In Oct. 1632 he was elected Bishop of Bath and Wells upon the translation of Dr. Curle to Winchester the temporalities of which See being given to him on the 20 of December the same year he continued there without any other translation to the time of his death As for his actions done in his Diocese of Bath and Wells before the grand rebellion broke out which were very offensive to the puritanical party who often attested that he brought innovations therein and into his Church suppressed Preaching Lectures and persecuted such who refused to rail in the Lords Table c. in his Diocese let one of them named William Prynne a great enemy to the Hierarchy speak yet the reader may be pleased to suspend his judgment and not to believe all what that partial cropear'd and stigmatized person saith When the Bishops were silenc'd and their Lands sold by that
Coll. in Oxon and Trin. Coll. in Cambr besides great and large sums of money annually bestowed some to publick and some to private charities His Legacies at his death for charitable uses came to 1500 l which afterwards were paid part to All 's Coll part to the Church of Canterbury part to the Hospital of Harbledowne in Kent and the rest to indigent persons I have heard Sir Joseph Sheldon before mentioned say who was afterwards buried near to the body of his Uncle that from the time of Dr. Sheldon's being made Bishop of London to the time of his death it did appear in the book of his Accompts that he had bestowed upon publick pious and charitable uses about threescore and six thousand pounds In his Archbishoprick succeeded Will. Sancroft D. D. Dean of S. Pauls Cath. Ch. in Lond. and sometimes Fellow of Eman. Coll. in Cambridge who after he had been nominated by the King thro the endeavours of James Duke of York was consecrated in the Abbey Ch. of S Peter at Westm on Sunday the 27 of Jan. 1677.

Williams in the beginning of the year 1672 and died a little before the Nativity in sixteen hundred seventy and seven under which year you may see more among the Writers p. 448.

Ch. was consecrated Bish of Ossory in Jan. 1677 and died in the beginning of Octob. in sixteen hundred seventy and eight under which year you may see more of him among the Writers p. 462. In the said See succeeded Dr. Michael Ward as I have elsewhere told you RALPH BRIDEOAKE son of Rich. Brid by Cicely his wife dau of John Booth of Lancashire and he the son of another Richard of Adbaston was born as I have been informed at Chitham Hill near Manchester in the said County was admitted a Student in Brasn Coll. 15 Jul. 1630 aged 16 years took one degree in Arts and determining soon after his Disputations did so much please Dr. Pink Warden of New Coll then Vicechancellour of the Univ that he forthwith upon enquiry that his condition was mean made him a Pro-Chaplain of the said New Coll. In 1636 he among many others was actually created Mast of Arts by vertue of his Maj. Letters dated at Oxon he being then accounted a good Greecian and Poet But having nothing to keep up the degr of Master only his employment in the said Coll he became Curat of Wytham near Oxon for Dr. Joh. Brikenden sometimes of Magd. Coll and Corrector of the Press in Oxon. In which last employment hapning to correct a book of Dr. Tho Jackson President of C. C. Coll to whom he had often recess that Doctor had such an affection for him that upon the vacancy of the Free-school at Manchester founded by Bishop Hugh Oldham of which the President of the said Coll. for the time being is Patron he forthwith gave the government of it to him So that being soon after setled there he by his interest and great forwardness became Chaplain to the Earl of Derby whom and his family he much pleased And when Latham House in Lanc. belonging to the said Count was besieged by the Forces belonging to Parliament he was all the time in it and did good service When the Kings Cause declined he stuck close to the said family and managed as 't is said most of the Estate belonging to it In 1651 his Lord James Earl of Derby being engaged for K. Ch. 2. at Worcester fight and before he was after the loss of the day taken by the Parliamenteers in Cheshire Whereupon he being like to lose his life this his Chaplain Mr. Brideoake with others were desired to sollicit the Grandees at Westminster to save him and Will. Lenthall the Speaker of the House of Com. being much plyed by the said Chaplain with more than ordinary reason and application Lenthall thereupon when he saw nothing could save his Lords life finding him to be a man of parts and business made him his own proper Chaplain and soon after Preacher of the Rolls in Chancery lane Which act of his tho noble and generous yet he was clamour'd at and gained the ill will of divers members of Parliament for his entertaining openly and afterwards preferring a Malignant as they term'd him Soon after by Lenthall's endeavours he became Vicar of a Market Town in Oxfordshire called Witney where being setled he preached twice every Lords day and in the Evening catechised the Youth in his own house outvying in labour and vigilancy any of the godly Brethren in those parts He also by his Patron 's means got the Rectory of the said place which had been leased out to be annexed to the Vicaridge whereby it became one of the richest Rectories in Oxford Diocess and not long after he was made Minister of S. Bartholmew near the Royal Exchange in London where in holding forth preaching and laying about him in the Pulpit he equalled any of the holy Brethren of that City On the 14 of March 1659 he was appointed one of the Commissioners by Act of Parliament for the approbation and admission of Ministers of the Gospel after the Presbyterian mode but that Act soon after vanishing upon the approach of his Majesties restauration he by his unwearied diligence and application was made Chaplain to his Majesty installed Canon of Windsore in the place of Dr. Thom. Howell B. of Bristow several years before dead on the 11 day of July and actually created Doct. of Div. in the beginning of Aug. following an 1660. About that time he became Rector of the rich Church of Standish in his native Country given formerly to him by the Earl of Derby but hindred from enjoying it by the Triers in Oliver's Reign between whom and him followed some controversie concerning that matter but how terminated I cannot tell
in a solemn chapter held by the Soveraign and certain of the Knights Companions of that most noble Order in the red room at Whitehall which Oath was administred to him by Seth Bishop of Salisbury Chancellour of the Garter one of the Officers of that order then kneeling on his Majesties left hand As to the exercise of his office of Norroy when he was Provincial K. of Armes for the northern parts of this Realm the books of his visitation of the several Counties under his charge remaining in the Coll. of Armes will sufficiently manifest his care therein as by taking exact notice of all collaterals viz. Uncles Aunts Brothers and Sisters in the descents there drawn Also by publickly disclaiming all such as did take upon them the titles of Esquire or Gentlemen without just right and truly registring the Armes of all such as could shew any justifiable right thereto His care also was manifested in defacing such Tablets of Armes as he found in any publick places which were fictitious and by pulling down several Atchievments commonly called Hatchments irregularly and against the law of Armes hung up in any Churches or Chappels within the precincts of his Province the particulars whereof are expressed in that large book in the Office or Coll. of Armes covered with russet leather and called the Earl Marshalls book Further also to vindicate the just rights of his said office he commenced a sute at the common law against one Randal Holme a Painter of the City of Chester who had boldly invaded the office of him the said Norroy by preparing Atchievments for the funeral of Sir Ralph Ashton of Middleton in the County of Lancaster Kt and giving directions for a formal proceeding at the solemnity thereof whereupon he had a verdict against him the said Holme at the general Assizes held at Stafford in March an 1667 and recovered good damages with costs of suit The titles of such books touched on before which are published under Sir Will.

Johnston a Physit of Yorkshire with hopes that he would extract from them and make and compleat a book of Antiquities of the West Riding of Yorkshire which he hath not yet done being as I have been informed weary of the work When the said Lord Fairfax died he bequeathed the said old Mss and collections which last amounted to 122 volumes at least to the publick Library in Oxon but were not conveyed thither till June 1673 which being then a wet season most of them took wet and had it not been for the author of this book who with much ado obtained leave of the then Vicechancellour to have them conveyed into the muniment room in the School-Tower purposely to dry them on the leads adjoyning which cost him a months time to do it they had been utterly spoiled The other books that Sir William Dugdale hath published are there 3 The Antiquities of Warwickshire illustrated from records leiger-books manuscripts charters evidences tombes and armes Beautified with maps prospects and portraictures Lond. 1656. fol.

Sherburne Gent a Retainer to C. C. Coll. in this University but descended from the antient and gentile family of his name now remaining at Stanyhurst in Lancashire After our author Edw. Sherburne whom I am farther to mention had been mostly trained up in Grammar learning under Mr. Thomas Farnabie who then taught in Goldsmiths-rents before mentioned he was privately instructed for a time in his Fathers house by one Charles Aleyn then lately Usher to the said Mr. Farnabie but originally a member of Sidney Coll. in Cambridge I mean the same Ch. Aleyn who wrot a Poem entit The battle of Crescy and Poictiers and afterwards The History of Hen. the seventh Lond. 1638 oct written in verse also with The battle of Bosworth who dying about 1640 was buried under the north wall of S. Andrews Church in Holbourn near London In 1640 his Father thinking it fit for his better education to send him abroad to travel he set forward at Christmas that year and continued beyond Sea till about three quarters of a year having spent his time in viewing a considerable part of France and was intended for a journey into Italy but then unfortunately called back by occasion of his Fathers sickness who not many weeks after his return dyed some few days before Christmas 1641. Immediatly after his death he succeeded his Father in the Clerkship of his Majesties Ordnance granted him by patent 5. Feb. 13. Car. 1. and about the months of Apr. and May he was outed by warrant of the then House of Lords and committed to the Black rod for only adhering to the duty of his place and allegiance to his Prince where he lay for several months at great expences and charge of fees till having in the beginning of Oct. following gain'd his Liberty he went immediatly to the King who made him Commissary General of his Artillery In which condition he served him at the battle of Edghill and during the four years Civil War while in the mean time he was depriv'd of an estate of 160 l. per an till a debt of 1500 l. was satisfied by way of extent out of the Land of Ord of Ord in Northumberland his house plundered and all his personal estate and houshold goods taken away among which was the loss of a study of books as considerable in a manner that he bought and obtained after his Majesties restauration which was great and choice and accounted one of the most considerable belonging to any Gent. in or near London After Edghill battle he retired with his Majesty to Oxon where he was created M. of A. as I have before told you and was not wanting while he continued there to improve himself in learning as other Gentlemen did After the rendition of Oxford to the Parliament forces he lived for some time in the Middle Temple at London in the Chamber of a near Relation of his called Tho. Stanley Esquire at which time he published some pieces which I shall anon mention While he continued there you cannot but imagine that he was liable as indeed he was to frequent midnight scarches and proclamation banishments out of the Lines of communication as being a Cavalier which the godly party then called Malignant till at the return of Sir George Savile afterwards Marquess of Halyfax from his travels about 1651. or 52 he was invited to take upon him the charge of his concerns and sometime after by his honorable Mother the Lady Savile her good favour he was recommended to undertake the tuition of her Nephew Sir John Coventry in his travels abroad In the beginning of March therefore in 1654 he left England with his charge ran through all France Italy some part of Hungary the greater part of Germany Holland and the rest of the Low Countries and returned about the end of Oct. 1659. By which voyage he did advance and promote his bookish inclination by conference with learned persons when he came to such places that could afford him their desired converse more than what he could obtain at home After his Majesties restauration he found a person put into his place of Clerk of his Maj. Ordnance within the Kingdom of England after his old sequestrators were dead by a Relation of the Gent. whose care and tuition he had undertaken I mean by that busie man Sir Anth. Ashley Cooper afterwards Earl of Shaftesbury so that he was forced to plead the â—ight of his Patent before the House of Lords e're he could get readmittance After some time of the Kings settlement he met with a discouragement worse than the former for by the politick Reducers of the charge of his Majesties revenue and treasure he was retrenched from the best perquisites of his office to the value of no less than 500 l. per an and never received any consideration

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.

Johns Coll. there a Fellowship in that foundation From which Fellowship which still makes more for his honour he was unjustly ejected by a pack of Parricides who notwithstanding regardless of the rage of those bloody times or his own blood-spitting malady equally pernicious boldly attempted and successfully managed matters of the greatest difficulty and danger in the behalf of the King and Church And for that cause was shut up in a dire and loathsome prison where he suffered inhumane and barbarous usage yet with a constant and undaunted spirit And in the end he saw by the miracle as it were of a new creation the revisal of both Crown and Mitre himself playing the Man-midwives part and vigorously assisting at the new birth of both Last of all for his active services and passive sufferings he was

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. Dr. Sam. Fell without any nomination by the Chanc. So that being discharged of his office by order from the Visitors 8 Oct. this year because as they said he was neither nominated or lawfully admitted thereunto yet notwithstanding he took no
Zanchy with a flattering speech in a most humble posture which being done he that then held the Chancellours Chair who all the time stood up bare admitted him with another flattering speech by his authority or rather observance Which being done Zanchy and the Beadles conducted him to his place next on the left hand to the Chancellours Chair This person also who had a greater name in his time than Fairfax had not only in England but throughout the whole World which he obtained more by policy dissimulation under the cloak of religion whether in prayer preaching discourse and action rather than valour must according to method have something said of him which shall with as much brevity as may be done because all Histories ring of his fame as well as infamy Born therefore he was in the Parish of S. John in the antient Borough of Huntingdon on the 24 of Apr. 1599 41. of Elizab. and was Christned in that Church on the 29 of the same month where Sir Oliver Cromwell his Uncle gave him his name His Father who lived in the same Town was Rob. Cromwell second Son of Sir Hen. Cromwell of Hinchingbrook in Huntingdonshire Kt. who died in 1603 His Mother was Elizabeth sister to Sir Thomas Son of Sir Richard Steward Kts whence 't was that when Oliver gaped after the Protectorship it was given out by those of his party that he was descended of the Royal Blood and had right to the Crown of England His said Mother Elizabeth lived to See her Son Lord Protector and dying in Whitehall 18. Nov. 1654 was buried in K. Hen. 7. Chappel at Westm where her body continuing till after his Majesties restoration was removed from that place 12. of Sept. 1661 and buried with other Cromwellian bodies in a pit dug in S.

Beard a Minister in that Town and in Academical in Sidney Coll. in Cambridge but his Father dying while he was there he was taken home and sent to Lincolns Inn to study the Common Law but making nothing of it he was sent for home by his Mother became a Debauchee and a boysterous and rude Fellow At length being reformed and pretending to Saintship he married Elizabeth Daughter of Sir James Bouchier of Essex became heir to his Uncle his Mothers Brother spent the estate which was considerable took a Farm at S. Ives thrived not and therefore had intentions to go to New England a receptacle for Puritans and Nonconformists but that project taking not he removed to the Isle of Ely where he more frequently and publickly own'd himself a Teacher In 1640 he by the endeavours of one Rich. Tyms afterwards Alderman of Cambridge who had several times heard him preach at Ely was first made free of the Corporation of Cambridge then a Burgess thereof to sit in that unhappy Parliament which began at Westm 3. Nov. 1640. Soon after when the rebellion began towards which he gave a considerable helping hand he had a Commission given to him to be a Captain of Horse which he soon raised in his native Country and doing great service in those parts he soon after was made a Colonel and at length Lieutenant General to Edward Earl of Manchester who had the separate command in a distinct supremacy of the associated Counties Afterwards doing great service at Marston-moor near York after Sir Tho. Faâ—rfax and the Scots had been totally routed there Cromwell and his party of Curassiers being then in the left wing his atchievment was industriously cried up at Westminster and all the Grandees of Scriptural Ovation were fitted and accommodated thereunto Within 4 months after we find him in the second battle at Newbury in Beâ—ks where the fates favoured him again tho not with a complete victory yet on that side where he fought with a part of one and so much as endangered the Person of the King if the noble and stout Earl of Cleveland had not hazardously interposed and bore off the pursuit Soon after the Army being new modell'd Essex the General was laid aside as unfortunate and Sir Thomas Fairfax being put into his place Cromwell was made Lieutenant General of the same Army from which time he continued as Fairfax did victorious and upon all occasions did lull and bewitch with the syrene charmes of his zealous insinuations the said Fairfax to carry on his pernitious designs Afterwards we find him the chief person under the cloak of great dissimulation of hurrying the King from place to place of defaming him among the people and bringing him to judgment Which done he sat with the rest of the Judges on him stood up when sentence was passed and set his hand and seal to the warrant for his execution Soon after he being made one of the Council of State he was ordained Commander in chief or Lord Governour of Ireland in June 1649 conquer'd there returned and was made General of the Parliament Army upon Fairfax's laying down his Commission Afterwards he went into Scotland did some seats there against K. Ch. 2 but that King giving him the go-by he followed him into England encountred him at Worcester conquer'd his party and put him to flight Thence he went to London and was highly caressed by the Citizens and Parliament and soon after dissolving the Parliament he called another but that being not suitable to his designs he dissolv'd that and took upon him the Protectorship which he enjoyed during his life time Under his name were published Many Letters written to the Speaker of the House of Commons to the House of Commons Sir Thomas Fairfax Committees c. containing relations of skirmishes victories taking of Castles Towns c. as also some Speeches and Declarations c.
